(Part 1)

The crisp voice was impolitely naive and straightforward and was even too loud in this somewhat quiet atmosphere.

Under the silence, not to mention Jing Zhao and the other two, but even the immortals and demons standing to the side had strange expressions, staring at the astonishing little girl with wide eyes.

This joke shouldn't be thrown around. Although Lord Qing Mu was famous in the Three Realms for his mysteriousness, it wouldn't be possible that no one knew that he had a family! And besides, no one didn't know that Princess Jing Zhao of the Heavenly Palace admired him. How could a female immortal be this bold!

Jing Zhao's face was pale. Seeing that Qing Mu did not make a denial, her expression was even more resentful. Pointing towards Hou Chi, it took her a long time before saying, "Qing Mu, what did she call you? When did you have...have a wife?"

It seemed that it was very difficult to spit the last two words out of her mouth. Jing Zhao's eyes were slightly red, her eyes full of disbelief. Jing Yang's expression was nostalgic, and he grunted.

And Jing Jian, who was standing to the side, felt a faint sense of familiarity the moment the girl opened her eyes. He furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at Hou Chi.

Qing Mu's body was also stiff. He looked at Hou Chi with a strange expression, and seeing her dark eyes staring closely at him, he sighed and rubbed her forehead, his expression gentle and loving, "Alright, stop messing around."

Jing Zhao had never seen him like this before, and a cold touch flashed across her eyes, her fingertips slowly tightening. She looked towards Hou Chi and her eyes suddenly lit up. She said disdainfully, "With such weak immortal power, I think that you inherited from your mother."

Qing Mu's expression was slightly heavy. He felt Hou Chi's body stiffen, knowing that this wasn't good. Sure enough, she had already turned around and sat upright in Qing Mu's arms, her eyes looking at Jing Zhao lazily with indescribable playfulness in her expression. She was clearly a seven or eight-year-old child, but she made people have murderous intentions.

Jing Zhao met her gaze and was taken aback for a moment. She took two steps back, unable to speak.

"Princess is right, maybe my low spiritual power is because of this. However, your immortal power is also sheltered here, so it's best not to make any false statements. Qing Mu, let's go." The slightly cold face gave a command, lowering her eyes and not saying a word.

When Jing Jian heard this, his expression was shocked, and a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. To be able to call Qing Mu this way and say these words, could she be...

"This child is a child of a family I know. That was just a joke. Princess, please keep your words respectful."

Qing Mu looked at Jing Zhao coldly, then walked away.

When Jing Zhao heard this, her face was innocent and also carried some faint surprise. She felt aggrieved. She only said one sentence. This child didn't know her manners at all, saying such impolite words. She was the noble daughter of the Heavenly Emperor and Empress, how could anyone dare compare themself with her?

"She's only a child from a family you know, why do you value her so much...do you not know my thoughts towards you? And besides, whose family does she belong to? She doesn't know the rules at all!" Ignoring Jing Jian pulling on her hand, Jing Zhao glanced at Jing Yang, who raised his eyebrows towards her, anger building up inside as she yelled to Qing Mu, who had already walked far away.

The immortal lords looked at the aggressive Princess Jing Zhao and sighed inside. This situation seemed to be deliberate. Human feelings are like flowing water! [1]

The navy blue figure stopped, and an almost invisible sigh sounded. Qing Mu turned around, his eyes burning. He looked at Jing Zhao with a face full of bitterness, "Princess Jing Zhao, I can't decide her affairs for her."

Jing Zhao was startled by Qing Mu's cold and stern voice. Looking at Hou Chi, who was sitting steadily in Qing Mu's arms, a flash of anger crossed her eyes, and she said, "Why can't you? You are obviously being partial to her. Could it be that she really is part of your family?"

The Immortal Realm had no months or years. If Qing Mu waited for her to grow up, this wouldn't be impossible. Thinking of this, Jing Zhao's eyes got even darker. This little immortal who came out of nowhere even dared to compete with her!

"Princess Jing Zhao, do you really...want me to pay my respect to you?" Hou Chi jumped down from Qing Mu's arms, stretched her waist, and walked towards Jing Zhao, her eyes slanted upwards and flowing. Her composure had a sense of thrill.

"Why are you saying this? With my identity, could it be that I can't accept your respect?" Jing Zhao narrowed her eyes as if she was looking at an ant with a piercing expression, and flicked her long sleeves.

The more Jing Jian looked at her, the more that he felt that this girl had a similar tone and composure to Hou Chi on Da'ze Mountain. Seeing Jing Zhao being so stubborn, he became anxious and prepared to take a step forward to make peace, but Jing Yang pulled on his clothing.

"Qing Mu treats this girl very differently. It seems that they have a special relationship. It's okay for third sister to let out her anger. I have never seen anyone who dares to treat us this way."

[1] "Human feelings are like flowing water" – Like flowing water, human feelings and actions can't be undone after they are let out. Everything flows in the same pattern.

(Part 2)

Seeing the anger in Jing Yang's eyes, Jing Jian could only push down his actions as he carefully looked at the girl. On Da'ze Mountain, Goddess Hou Chi had rich immortal power and did not have this appearance. And besides, he had never heard of her having anything to do with Lord Qing Mu. Perhaps he really was wrong.

"My respect is not something that you can accept easily. Princess Jing Zhao, it's best if you don't...regret it." Hou Chi stood still in front of Jing Zhao, her dark eyes strained with indescribable meaning and the corner of her mouth raised. After she finished talking, she slightly bent her waist, lowering her head.

It was a very slight bow. If she hadn't made such a gesture, no one would have thought that she was paying her respects.

"Hmph, you're just a little immortal child. I..." Jing Zhao saw the little immortal child lower her head. Although the bow was a little light, she was too lazy to argue about it. But before she could finish her words, thunder suddenly resounded in the sky.

The thunder sounded heavily. There was a sense of majesty as if it could destroy the world. Bright light cut through the sky and went straight toward Jing Zhao's direction.

Everyone was shocked. Before they could react, Jing Yang had already taken the thunder's blow with an unhappy face. Only Qing Mu looked at Hou Chi calmly, his face filled with astonishment.

When the immortals saw this, their expressions were strange. Thunder and lightning were controlled by the high lord of sky thunder, but even if this Sky Thunder Lord ate a leopard's guts, he wouldn't dare smash sky thunder onto Princess Jing Zhao!

Moreover, this strength, this power...Even if it was a battle against the Demon Clan, the Sky Thunder Lord wouldn't have exerted so much power! The descending sky thunder came too strangely!

Although Jing Yang took this blow, the sound of thunder remained unbroken. The boundless thunderclouds struck down lighting and thunder upon Liaowang Mountain. Seeing more and more lightning and thunder, Jing Yang's complexion paled, his expression terrible.

"This damn Sky Thunder Lord, what is he doing?"

Jing Zhao looked at the continuous sky thunder, so frightened that she couldn't speak. She was the one to bear this and could feel the meaning of judgment and destruction hidden in the sky thunder more than anyone.

But, in the Three Realms, who would dare judge her?

Everyone looked at the smashing-down sky thunder, then at each other, but they didn't look at the child who had never raised her head.

Jing Jian was suddenly awakened by the sound of the sky thunder. He looked at the girl in front of Jing Zhao, then seemed to understand something, his expression changing drastically.

The power of a god could actually be this powerful. The sky thunder that suddenly appeared was generated by the power of the checks and balances of the Three Realms. Jing Zhao was really silly!

There were only three people in the Three Realms who could withstand her respect!

From ancient times to the present, no one had dared to make the three of them bow before, so no one knew that the position of a god was part of the checks and balances of heaven and earth, and was this powerful!

If she didn't raise her head, even if his Heavenly Father came, he wouldn't be able to stop the thunder, which was full of judgment!

Jing Jian glanced at Jing Yang, who was gritting his teeth at the sky thunder and looking at the terrified Jing Zhao and hurriedly took a few steps forward. He stopped in front of Hou Chi, bent down, and bowed under everyone's suspicious expressions, "My younger sister did not mean to offend you. I hope that Your Honorable will not be too offended. I will definitely tell my Heavenly Father about this, and she will be disciplined more severely in the future."

If it was possible, with the awkwardness between his and Hou Chi's statuses, he really didn't bow his head to the person in front of him in front of everyone, but it was a pity that time wasn't helping him. Jing Zhao was overly stubborn.

The voice was extremely low, but also extremely sincere. Hou Chi arched her eyebrows and slightly raised her eyes. Seeing that the person was Jing Jian, who she had saw on Da'ze Mountain, she understood that he probably knew her identity and raised her shoulders, too lazy to even look at Jing Zhao. She walked to Qing Mu's side and took his hand, then walked towards the top of the mountain.

"Jing Jian, tell her, if she wants to receive my respect again one day, she can just say it!" Hou Chi said.

The moment the girl straightened up, the thunder and lightning in the sky disappeared instantly, and everything returned to tranquility as if nothing had ever happened. Everyone looked at this hard-to-believe scene, then at each other. What is the child's origin? Her bow could attract sky thunder and punish the recipient!

Jing Zhao seemed to have thought of something. Her expression suddenly changed, and she immediately turned her head to look at the girl holding Qing Mu's hand, her face pale.

"She, she...she is!"

Jing Zhao raised her hand, and before she could finish speaking, a magnificent golden light shot up from the top of the mountain into the sky. It was as if the sky was torn apart. A roar came from the golden light, and beasts within a thousand kilometers bowed to it, the deterrence of the golden light sweeping the entire mountain in an instant.

"The true god weapon has appeared..." Someone unknown murmured this, and the voice quickly disappeared into the majestic roar.

"First brother, I must obtain the Taicang Spear! If I'm blocked, even if it's a magical beast, I'll kill it!"

Under the bright golden light, Jing Zhao looked coldly at the shadow that had appeared in the sky with an icy expression.
