Chapter 272 : You Rock, Highgod! 22 (1/2)

Yue Ning was the Ancient God who had been in charge of the marriage fates of all beings. Back then, two other Ancient Gods were in love with her.

They gave their all for the sake of pleasing her, but never did manage to win her favour.

One of these Ancient Gods was Zi Huan, while the other was Qing Guan’s father.

Qing Guan’s father gave up first and married Qing Guan’s mother, who had been ardently chasing him at the time.

Zi Huan, however, never gave up. Despite this, Yue Ning still didn’t fall for him. The person she liked was a normal person who had ascended from the Mortal Realm.

But this person already had a spouse who ascended with him and who he enjoyed a loving relationship with.

Yue Ning abused her authority as the Moon Elder to break the two of them apart. The woman was sent to The Great Desert, which was eyeing up the Heavenly Realm covetously during that period.

Back then, the devil beasts were in charge of The Great Desert. Soon after the woman was sent there, she couldn’t take the humiliation and torment and chose to take the then Devil Beast King down with her.

Dong Jing stopped here.

Shi Sheng continued for him, “And that person was you?”

Dong Jing neither admitted nor denied it. He continued, “After the man found out, he made a big scene in the Heavenly Realm. But there were still several Ancient Gods who hadn’t fallen back then. Adding to the fact Yue Ning was being protected by Zi Huan, he had no way of taking revenge.”

After a slight pause, he continued, “Your mother helped me once at that time. Although it was merely not telling my pursuers my hiding spot, if it hadn’t been for her choosing to do so, I wouldn’t have been able to leave the Heavenly Realm.”

Shi Sheng blinked and only spoke after a while had passed, “So this was why you followed me?”

‘There really are surprises in the plot in every world… I’m(bbb) slightly despairing right now… System, can you not add these complicated story points at random? All I(bbb) want is to quietly show off and be a beauty that is worshipped.’

Dong Jing first nodded then shook his head. “That’s half the reason.”

‘Alright, let’s just ignore that since it’s unimportant.’

“So your red string was with Yue Ning which was why it eventually ended up with Yue Yao, right?”

Dong Jing nodded. He had been in a rush to leave the Heavenly Realm back then, so he had naturally forgotten something minor like his red string.

‘Since she found Dong Jing’s red string, she probably also gained some stuff Yue Ning left behind for her and learned something from them.

That lil bitch Yue Yao actually dared to tie my red string to the person her mother liked! Isn’t she afraid her mom will leap out from her grave to beat her unfilial ass to death?

Wait. Then who’s Yue Yao’s father? The plot ending didn’t even reveal this point. I’m beginning to suspect the author might’ve dropped this…’

“It wasn’t me,” Dong Jing seemed as if he had read her mind, for he quickly denied involvement. Shi Sheng rolled her eyes. ‘I(bbb) never said it was you. What’re you in such a rush to deny it for?

Could it be Zi Huan? That doesn’t seem possible…he should at least be able to recognise his own daughter. Then who could it be?

The Jade Emperor? He is rather concerned about Yue Yao, but it doesn’t seem like the concern a father would have for his daughter, more like he’s afraid of something. This FL’s cheats are simply inexhaustible!’

“Something you should take note of is that during that period, Yue Ning and your father were rather close. It’s probably why your mother chose to hide the fact that she saw me.”

“So you’re saying: Yue Yao may be my sister.”

‘Please let it not be this much dog blood! I(bbb) won’t be able to take it, okay?’

Dong Jing didn’t say any more.

Shi Sheng’s fingernails scratched across the surface of the table, causing a screechy sound. ‘As expected, there’s no such thing as the most dog blood, only more dog blood…’

……

“Boss, Boss! That woman won’t give up on seeing you! She injured several of our comrades!” Er-Er and Si-Si helped a beaten-up San-San inside to tattle to her.

The hand that was scratching at the table paused before Shi Sheng picked up her sword that was lying beside her and walked out. “I(lz) wanna see just what she’s planning.”

Outside the city gates, Yue Yao was dressed all in red. Though her features were the same, the feeling she gave off was completely different.
