The task is complete, and it is time to return to heaven to report.
Bihua Lingjun put the glass bottle into his sleeve and said to Fu Li, "Why don't you return to heaven with me, the emperor? The Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother and the immortals in heaven will be very happy to know that the Immortal Emperor has returned."
Fu Li, however, looked indifferent. Just as he was about to say something, Dan Yu spoke to Bihua Lingjun first, "Qing Xi, let Fu Li handle this matter himself. Fu Li, you have been in the mortal world for so many years, you must have gotten used to it. Although this place is small, it is quite quiet. You can stay here and I will come to see you often when I have time."
Fu Li raised his eyebrows and sneered, "What? Are you mocking me for not daring to return to heaven after becoming like this?"
Dan Yu said, "Why are you still so petty and suspicious after all these years? I thought you were used to living in the mortal world and were too lazy to go back."
Fu Li looked at the lake and said, "Dan Yu, you are right in your sincere sarcasm. I don't really want to go back to heaven. It is not the same as it was back then. Countless changes have taken place. The world is now like this. I think heaven has also changed a lot. What can I do if I go back now? Just like you, you must be spending your days in leisure. It is better for me to stay in the mortal world and watch the mortals come and go."
There was a faint mist floating outside Fu Li's green clothes, and he looked very lonely.
Dan Yu patted his shoulder and said, "I knew you would think so, so I told you to do it. Since you have such a plan, stay here for the time being. But let me say this first. After all, you are involved in the emperor's transformation into a demon. If we return to heaven, even if it is you and I, we cannot break the laws of heaven. We still have to let the Jade Emperor deal with it impartially. If he takes you back for questioning, don't sneak away first."
Fu Li brushed off his clothes and sneered, "I have never run away before."
Dan Yu smiled, "That's great." He turned to Bihua Lingjun and said in a gentle voice, "Clear the table, you and I will return to heaven immediately."
Bihua Lingjun nodded in agreement, but Fu Li said, "Wait a minute." He still remembered that he had entrusted the little Qilin to Bihua Lingjun. Bihua Lingjun seemed to have forgotten it just now, but after he reminded her, she became interested again. Dan Yu squinted his eyes and watched from the side.
The little Qilin had been sleeping under Fu Li's belly at first. When Fu Li turned into a dragon, it was still sleeping soundly. Later, it was awakened by the loud noise. The glittering dragon and the glittering green-robed Immortal Emperor dazzled its eyes. It lay on the stone and stared at them stupidly for a while. But it didn't know that the two glittering things were transformed from the big gecko. When the Immortal Emperor Fu Li was talking to Dan Yu and Bihua Lingjun, the little Qilin woke up from his daze and suddenly found that the big gecko was gone, so he began to look for it everywhere in panic.
It circled around on the stone like a headless fly, searching everywhere. Fu Li and Bihua Danxu were talking and didn't notice it. It accidentally stepped on the moss, its hoof slipped, and it fell into the pool.
When Emperor Fu Li thought of it, it was struggling in the water, half submerged and half floating. Fu Li used his magic to pick it up, held it in his arms and wiped its soaking wet body with his sleeves. The little Qilin struggled desperately in Fu Li's arms, humming and cooing.
Bihua Lingjun reached out to take it, but the little Qilin was still struggling. Danxu walked over slowly and said, "Bihua, it's kicking so hard, let me help you hold it." She reached out to take the little Qilin, and the little Qilin raised its head, grunted, and bit Danxu's finger again.
Danxu picked it up with his other hand. The little Qilin nibbled on Danxu's fingers vigorously. It had no time to take care of anything else and lay in Danxu's arms without moving much.
Dan Yu leaned closer to Bihua and said with a smile, "Qing Xi, look, this is good."
The little Qilin bit Dan Yu's hand full of saliva, and Bihua Lingjun reached out to wipe the corner of its mouth and gently stroked its head. Fu Li stood aside and watched, and suddenly said from a distance: "Little fairy, do you like young animals very much?"
Bihua Lingjun replied: "Yes, this is a little hobby of mine."
Fu Li asked: "Do you love both the old and the young, or only the young?"
Bihua Lingjun hesitated and said: "This..."
Fu Li smiled and said, "It seems that you are a womanizer. It is appropriate to entrust this young Qilin to you." He glanced at Dan Yu intentionally or unintentionally.
When Bihua Lingjun said goodbye to Fu Li and was about to return to heaven, Fu Li said to Dan Yu, "Dan Yu, now that you are in heaven, you should correct your bad habits. After all, you are already old, don't let the younger gods and immortals laugh at you."
Dan Yu stood on the cloud and said with emotion: "You don't need to remind me of this. I was reborn from an egg, and suddenly I felt that everything in the world was very different. Although I looked the same as before, I was not the same as before. I was already a newborn. When I came out of the egg, I regarded it as another beginning. If you go by this, I am only a few months out of the egg now, and I am still a young phoenix."
Fu Li glanced at Bihua Lingjun silently and said nothing more.
Bihua Lingjun also stood there silently and shook his robes.
The clouds are floating, and the Nantianmen Gate is right in front of you.
Dan Xun didn't say a word during the whole journey. The little Qilin in his arms was still biting his fingers hard.
When they were almost in front of the South Gate of Heaven, Dan Yu looked out at the vast expanse of clouds and mist, a smile on his face.
Bihua Lingjun saw this from the side and said, "Did the Emperor think of the past?"
Dan Yu said, "Yes, after seeing Fu Li, and then looking at the sky, I couldn't help but think of the old things. Back then, the Heaven was not like this, and there was no South Gate of Heaven. At that time, I made a bet with Fu Li, flew from the far east to the far west, across the heaven, and finally bet on wine under the stone tree in the far west. I was drunk for seven days and seven nights. After waking up, I took advantage of the remaining drunkenness to pacify a city in the Demon Realm and wiped out more than 100,000 demons. The bones were thrown into the human world, and now it should be a mountain range."
Dan Yu raised the hand that was not bitten by Qilinzi and pointed to a place in the distance: "Look, it should be there. Fu Li and I threw the remains of the demon leader into the human world. At that time, Fu Li was stained with the blood of the demons, and his armor was redder than my feathers." Dan Yu smiled, "Alas, the world is peaceful now. Those days are long gone."
But the clouds in the place where the battle against the demons took place seemed to be redder than those in other places. Dan Yu looked at the light red of the clouds. After all, there were traces of the fierce battles back then. He had leaned on the stone pillar of the South Heaven Gate, and tore off a corner of his robe to wipe the blood on his sword. He threw the blood-stained white cloth casually, and it fell to the human world, floating lightly and turning into a red cloud. Dan Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smile again.
The wind was blowing quickly, and the clouds were rolling freely, making Danyu's robe look like red clouds.
It's all old news. Many, many years have passed. The world has undergone countless changes, and the heaven is no longer what it used to be.
Dan Yu's smile was filled with emotion and helplessness, and he said to Bihua Lingjun: "Qingxi, when I said I was already a young phoenix, it was really a lie. With all this in the past, no matter how I act, I am still an old thing."
Bihua Lingjun also smiled: "Well, what you said at this time is the truth."
Dan Jing, no matter how shamelessly he behaves as a tiger cub, no matter how shamelessly he tries to take advantage of others, he is still Dan Jing after all, the Dan Jing Immortal Emperor, the emperor who fought against the demons countless years ago, and the phoenix who used his life as an egg to bring peace to heaven and earth.
Qilinzi bit Danxun's fingers until his teeth were sore, so he turned to bite his arm. Danxun pulled out a white towel from his sleeve and wiped the saliva on his hands, then threw it away: "I suddenly remembered something old and was delayed for a moment. Clear the table and leave quickly."
Bihua Lingjun responded, and walked on the clouds towards the South Heaven Gate with Dan Yu. When they turned around, they glanced at the place just now. The white scarf had turned into a floating cloud and drifted away.
