Bai Shuang felt a sudden pain in her eyes, and a splatter of blood burst into her vision. This was the last time she would see any color other than darkness.
In an instant, the pain in her pupils made her tremble as she covered her eyes with her hands.
An ice-cold, merciless voice came to her ears, "Your gaze makes her uneasy. Since you won’t make good use of your eyes, then you don’t need these eyes anymore."
Bai Shuang’s breathing was weak, still unable to believe it.
"What exactly... did I do wrong!"
She didn’t know what she had done wrong, why the War God had turned into a killing god!
The fire that had started in the plains burned Qingqiu to ashes, the War God’s wrath forcing the beasts to scatter and flee Qingqiu in search of other places to dwell.
The Empress of Qingqiu, visiting Heaven as a guest, fiercely overturned the tea table. The spilling tea soared into the air, gathering to form a water mirror. The mirror showed the current dismal state of Qingqiu.
She slid her hand across the surface of the mirror. The image changed, showing an ancient tree turned to decaying wood upon the ground. As the War God’s Sword Qi slashed across Bai Shuang’s eyes, the Empress of Qingqiu angrily glared at the Heavenly Emperor seated high above, fury raging in her eyes.
The Empress of Qingqiu questioned, "Heavenly Emperor, you invited me here just to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so that the War God could run amok in my Qingqiu!"
Everything in the water mirror was clearly seen by everyone present.
At this moment, the Grand Palace was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The Heavenly Emperor frowned displeasingly.
Not because he was displeased with the War God’s actions in the water mirror, but because he was displeased with the Empress of Qingqiu’s blatant questioning.
The Heavenly Emperor waved his sleeves, instructing all the immortals to leave.
Turning around, the Heavenly Emperor apologized to the man beside him, "Emperor, I’m afraid today’s joyous occasion is about to turn into a mourning event."
The strategy of a marriage alliance between the two clans was proposed by the Emperor, who was also actively trying to facilitate it.
Inviting the Empress of Qingqiu today was precisely to discuss these details.
The Emperor, with his youthful appearance and white hair, sighed, "What a pity. I thought he liked white things... Seeing that the Princess of Qingqiu’s original form was a White Fox, and that her human form is fair and beautiful, like a fresh and lovely White Lotus, I thought he would like her."
The Heavenly Emperor took a sip of wine, his tone lazy, "You saw it just now. He destroyed the Princess of Qingqiu’s eyes simply because they showed malice toward the Little Beast Bai Bai in his arms. Emperor, this time you have really messed up the perfect match."
"I thought that was just his mount. If he really adores it so much, why not give it a Transformation Pill to let it transform sooner? Could it be... he likes to cultivate with a beastly form?"
"Cough, cough, cough!" The Heavenly Emperor almost choked on his drink. "If he hears what you just said, watch out, he might split you in two!"
The Emperor muttered discontentedly, "He dares! What did I say wrong?" His voice was too soft, lacking conviction.
The Empress of Qingqiu, ignored by the two men, roared with rage, "You’ve gone too far!"
The Heavenly Emperor glanced at her indifferently, "I didn’t kill her, only destroyed her eyes, that’s all. Besides, your daughter was the one at fault, knowing full well that the War God protects that little one, yet she still dared to show malice when looking at that Little Beast. Wasn’t she asking for death?"
The Emperor added insult to injury, "You don’t seem to genuinely care about this daughter either, otherwise what are you doing here? You would have returned to your Qingqiu to save your daughter by now. Why bother with your impotent rage at us here?"
The Heavenly Emperor took a leisurely sip of air, speaking languidly, "After all, you have plenty of children, birthing several in a single litter, every spring year after year becoming a bride, so you won’t miss this one unlucky daughter, will you?"
The Emperor smiled amiably, "The War God doesn’t fancy your daughter, and now she’s also ruined. Let’s discuss a marriage between another one of your daughters and a distinguished Deputy General of Heaven, shall we?"
The Heavenly Emperor nodded, "Heaven sincerely wants to establish a marital alliance with Qingqiu. If this pair doesn’t work out, there’s always the next one."
