Chapter 254: Chapter 210: Xi He or Chang Xi?
Nuwa paused after saying this, as she found that words seemed incapable of interpreting the concept of a divine marriage.
With a thought from Nuwa, the Red Embroidery Ball appeared in her right hand.
She waved her left hand gently and two streaks of flowing light fell into the hands of Xi He and Chang Xi.
The two sisters glanced at each other and, without any hesitation, started perusing the information within through their Divine Sense.
Moments later, Xi He looked at Nuwa and said, “I wonder how the Demon Emperor views the divine marriage?”
Nuwa did not hold back and directly said, “As the Heavenly Emperor, the Demon Emperor naturally has to take on the responsibility to perfect the Heavenly Dao. This is what the Demon Emperor has stated.”
At these words, Xi He and Chang Xi both fell silent, saying nothing.
By now, they also understood the significance of the divine marriage and that it was what they had always longed for.
Moreover, they realized the significance of Nuwa’s presence on the Taiyin Star.
It was a rare opportunity, yet they both fell silent, neither daring to be the first to speak.
Because this rare opportunity was only available to one of them.
Seeing Xi He and Chang Xi fall into silence, Nuwa thought they still didn’t understand and continued speaking.
“I recommended three candidates to the Demon Emperor; the Queen Mother of the West from Kunlun Mountain, as well as Daoist Xi He and Daoist Chang Xi for the Demon Emperor to choose from.”
“Now that I am here on the Taiyin Star, you two must understand the Demon Emperor’s choice.”
Xi He and Chang Xi understood that Di Jun had chosen one of the sisters, and naturally, they were pleased. Yet, it was also a headache-inducing matter.
“Did the Demon Emperor ever say whether it should be me or Chang Xi who becomes the Heavenly Empress?”
Xi He asked directly.
Nuwa shook her head and said, “The Demon Emperor did not specify.”
For a while, Xi He and Chang Xi exchanged glances and fell into silence once again.
If the Demon Emperor had made a choice, then it would have been much simpler; they wouldn’t have to be in such a dilemma.
One would become the Heavenly Empress, and the other would wholeheartedly offer her blessings.
Nuwa looked at the silent Xi He and at Chang Xi who was also quiet, sensing that she understood something.
Before coming here, Nuwa had not considered this issue and assumed choosing one Heavenly Empress would suffice.
Now it seemed that even making a choice between these two sisters was not an appealing decision.
For a moment, Nuwa too didn’t know what to say and remained silent.
On the Taiyin Star, the three of them were lost in their thoughts, maintaining their silence, making the atmosphere increasingly oppressive.
After a long time, Xi He raised her head, glanced at Chang Xi, then turned her eyes back to Nuwa and said with a smile.
“Chang Xi should become the Heavenly Empress. After all, she has admired the Demon Emperor for a long time.”
“Chang Xi, this is a rare opportunity.”
After saying this, although Xi He had a smile on her face, she felt a pang of heartache.
The opportunity had been given away by herself.
This was what Xi He thought in her heart.
At the same time, there was a sense of relief in her heart, no longer entangled in this matter.
She was heartbroken, and at the same time, she sincerely wished Chang Xi well in her heart.
Not only she felt relieved, but Nuwa also felt a sense of relief in her heart.
It was more than perfect for Daoist Xi He to take a step back.
“Sister, I admire the Demon Emperor, but doesn’t sister admire him as well?”
Chang Xi suddenly spoke.
Xi He wanted to explain.
But before she could finish her words, Chang Xi directly said,
“Sister, there is no need to explain. I have heard you discussing this matter with Senior Yue Gui numerous times.”
“Sister, you should become the Heavenly Empress, not me.”
Of course, she wanted to be the Heavenly Empress, to be with the Demon Emperor, but she was even less willing to see her sister compromise.
Hearing the two sisters speak, Nuwa inwardly mused: Indeed, she hadn’t guessed wrong. However, with the charm of the Demon Emperor, it was no surprise that both Daoist Xi He and Daoist Chang Xi were charmed by him.
Xi He, touched by Chang Xi’s words, naturally didn’t want Chang Xi to debase herself to fulfill her (Xi He’s) dreams.
Moreover, she was the elder sister, and Chang Xi was the younger sister.
However, she also knew that Chang Xi, despite her innocent and lively nature, had a very firm will, and it would probably be challenging to change her mind once she had made a decision.
Nuwa knew that she couldn’t stay any longer, so she said,
“I have never been to the Taiyin Star before and have not experienced its scenery; I would like to take a good look around.”
“Then I’ll take the trouble to show you the scenery of the Taiyin Star,” said Xi He immediately.
“No need to trouble yourselves, Daoist Xi He and Daoist Chang Xi. You simply give me a token and I will be fine looking around by myself.”
“Daoist Xi He and Daoist Chang Xi, you should still discuss the divine marriage in detail. If you come to a conclusion, please tell me as soon as possible.”
“The Demon Emperor is still waiting for an answer.”
Upon hearing this, Xi He understood Nuwa’s meaning and said, “Chang Xi and I will come to a decision as soon as possible.”
Then she extended her palm, and a silver-white, transparent branch appeared in her hand.
“This is a branch from Senior Yue Gui, with it you can roam the Taiyin Star without triggering the Arrays.”
Nuwa accepted the silver-white, transparent branch without any ceremony and said, “Thank you, Daoist Xi He.”
After that, Nuwa left the place.
Xi He looked at Chang Xi, thinking about how to persuade her, and couldn’t help feeling troubled.
Carrying the silver-white, transparent branch, Nuwa left beneath the laurel tree, feeling a sense of relief.
Of course, she also knew that this relief was only temporary.
