《Ancient God (Ancient Love Poetry)》Chapter 45: Hou Chi's Self Punishment {1}
Advertisement
Under Qingtian Pillar, Hou Chi saw two familiar figures fleeing here from a distance, and they approached suspiciously. After seeing the faces of the two people, she was shocked, and her heart felt uneasy.
Feng Ran, why are you and Chang Qin here?" Hou Chi said anxiously. They were obviously being chased. Could it be that Feng Ran went to the Demon Realm and stole the Demon Gathering Streamer?
An object was thrown out of Feng Ran's hand, and it landed on Houchi's hand. The Demon Gathering Streamer stabbed Houchi's eyes. She stopped, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and her eyes were full of disapproval.
"Feng Ran, you shouldn't care about this, let alone involve Chang Qin."
"Houchi, with your own strength, you can't take out the Demon Gathering Streamer at Demon Realm. I know something happened to Bo Xuan. He was kind to me in Qingchi Palace, and I won't ignore it." Feng Ran pulling Chang Qin down from the air, landed in Qingtian Pillar.
“Goddess Houchi, let's get acquainted. Don't you, the little god, want to make friends with someone from the demon realm, right?" Chang Qin raised his eyebrows, with a hint of teasing on his heroic and majestic face.
This sound blows away the condensed air around Houchi, slightly stretches the eyebrows of Houchi, and puts the demon-gathering steamer into her sleeves, Chang Qin said: "The name of the Chang Qin in demon realm is well known in the world. Goddess Houchi was always worshipped. It is a blessing to help each other."
She spoke very solemnly, Chang Qin was stunned, but she didn't laugh.
"Feng Ran, did Qing Mu go to the Immortal Realm?" Turning her head, Houchi looked at Feng Ran with more confidence. Since Feng Ran would go to the demon world to steal the demon streamer, then Qing Mu's whereabouts were almost self-evident, she should have thought that her act of seizing the treasure could not be hidden from the two of them.
“Yes, Qingmu went to Heavenly Palace, we made an appointment to meet under Qingtian Pillar, and he is coming soon. Houchi, when Qingmu arrives, you will leave with Chang Qin and go back to Qingchi Palace. Fortunately, look at the mountain, in the next hundred years, until this matter subsides, don't come out again."
"What about you?" Hearing what Feng Ran said, Chang Qin shook her head and said, "Feng Ran, you can't bear it alone."
"I'm alone... that's enough." Feng Ran opened his mouth with a firm expression: "I should take back the life that the old guy lost." Looking towards the sky, Feng Ran's enchanting face showed a touch of determination. .
Under the magnificent Qingtian Pillar, the figures of the three of them were extremely small. Looking at Feng Ran, Houchi suddenly relaxed, smiled, and walked towards Qingtian, leaving both of them in a daze.
Under the girl's beautiful face, her pupils, as deep as ink, rippled in circles, which made people unable to figure it out for a while.
I'm afraid you are not the only one who planned this?" She sighed slightly, and Hou Chi leaned under Qingtian Pillar, with the corners of her lips slightly raised: "If I guessed it right, Qing Mu must think so too."
"Houchi, you..." Feng Ran was taken aback. Since leaving the Qingchi Palace, she hadn't seen such a light and breezy appearance in Houchi for a long time.
"Feng Ran, you can't bear this matter, and Qing Mu is the same. Moreover, you or Qing Mu, I don't want to cause you trouble because of my waywardness. This is my responsibility, and it must be my responsibility. To solve it."

Hou Chi's voice slowly sounded, Hou Chi raised her hand and landed on Qingtian Pillar, her expression silent.
Demon Gathering Streamer and Spirit Gatherimg Orb are the seals of the Demon Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor who control the realms. I snatch them now, which is tantamount to questioning their qualifications to control a realm. Regardless of the reason, it is impossible for them to maintain the stability of the Demon Realm and the Immortal Realm."
The body moved, seeming to adjust to a comfortable posture, Hou Chi lowered his eyebrows, tapped her hand on Qingtian Pillar behind her lightly, his lips curled slightly:
"What's more, although Qingchi Palace does not ask about world affairs, it is in the Three Realms. The invisible power of the immortal and demons, the battle between the two worlds of immortals and demon is ignited. No matter which side of the father god is biased, it will affect the overall situation. Qingmu will be promoted to the god after nine days of profound thunder. Sooner or later, they will not sit and watch the palace continue to grow and appear. I am the Fourth God. I don’t have the spiritual power of the God, but I am in the position of God. God Father's insistence in Kunlun Mountain at the beginning must have been unhappy in their hearts for tens of thousands of years.
Hou Chi talked freely, but Feng Ran was amazed at the soberness and transparency in her words, her mouth opened, and did not answer.
Feng Ran thought she had never thought of anything about the little god in Qingchi Palace, who didn't ask about world affairs, and had always acted recklessly.
But she didn't want to, she was just...rarely confused.
"Feng Ran, I understand all of this, it's just a matter of time or later. I took the Spirit Gathering Orb and Demon Gathering Streamer this time, which is tantamount to giving them an excuse for making trouble. Since then, even if it’s the Father God, this time they can’t be taken lightly."
Houchi looked in the direction of the immortal world, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her expression was far and away calmly: "So, no matter what happens later, don't intervene."
It seemed that Hou Chi's expression was too indifferent, and Feng Ran felt a little uneasy in his heart, and cold sweat came out of his palms.
Chang Qin stood beside Feng Ran, patted her on the shoulder, and shook her head to signal her not to worry too much. Hou Chi looked lawless on weekdays, but now that she has reached this point, there must be a solution.
Under Qingtian Pillar, Hou Chi in a mysterious suit stands quietly, and the snow-like skin reveals an abnormal blush, and the black eyes are imprinted on the ancient world that has stood firm in the vastness of eternity, and the whole life feels desolate.
Feng Ran stared at her in a daze, her eyes swept to the top part of Qingtian Pillar, her expression changed abruptly-when, on the top of the writing of the three worlds, the dark and unnamed place actually faintly revealed a little name Jing Yuan is here.
Before she could think about it, the cold demon wind swept from the demon world, and the demon emperor in a purple python robe flew out from the demon world with a calm face. Behind him, the murderous demon king instantly crowded the entrance of the demon world. .
Seeing the three people standing under Qingtian Pillar, the Demon Emperor was visibly taken aback, and his full body's suffocation eased slightly. He looked at Feng Ran, and said in a deep voice: "Feng Ran, Demon Gathering Streamer of the emperor is in charge of the demon world. If you return it, for the sake of the ancient king, the gods, and you can only release a heavy immortal power. As for you...

The Demon Emperor looked at Chang Qin, and his eyes revealed undisguised disappointment: "Chang Qin, you are the heir of the demon fox clan, and it is inconvenient for you to intervene in punishment. When you return to the demon world, you will be handed over to the elders of the demon fox clan."
"Your Majesty, Chang Qin knows she is guilty and is willing to receive punishment, but can she..."
Before she finished her words, the Demon Emperor looked terrified, and said angrily: "Feng Ran steals my demon world's most important treasure, you still want to plead for her?"
Seeing the demon emperor scolding Chang Qin, Feng Ran frowned and was about to speak, but Hou Chi waved her hand, narrowed her eyes, and said lightly:
"Demon Emperor, the Demon Gathering Streamer was brought by Feng Ran because of me. It has nothing to do with the two of them."
The cold voice seemed to reveal the master’s carelessness, and the Demon Emperor’s eyes quickly flashed an unpleasant touch, but in the end he still considered the identity of Hou Chi, arched his hand slightly, and said in a deep voice:
"Goddess Hou Chi, even if you are god in the Three Realms. , you can't take the treasure of my demon realm, not to mention that Qingchi Palace has never been involved in the dispute between the two worlds of immortals and demons. Are you going to make an exception now?"
As he was talking, there was a little coldness in his voice. It was true that God Gu Jun loved Hou Chi, but the spiritual power of Goddess Hou Chi was not enough to aspire to the position of God, not to mention... that Goddess Hou Chi's name have never been there in Qingtian Pillar even she has the position of a god.
Can't hold it anymore? Depressing the faint ridicule in his eyes, Hou Chi raised her head slightly, looked in the direction of Heavenly Palace, and said softly:
"Demon Emperor, wait a while, I will naturally give you an explanation. As for the Demon Gathering Streamer, I will borrow it for hundred years. The streamer will be returned a hundred years later."
A century? The demon emperor's expression froze as he was about to speak, when suddenly he felt a blue shadow flying towards this side, and Qing Mu was embarrassed with a faint golden light between his body.
Qing Mu saw the confrontation between the three, Hou Chi and the demon emperor from a distance, and a little bit of concentration, stopped and landed next to Hou Chi, greeted with the worried look to Hou Chi, and wiped the blood that escaped from his mouth. Smiled and said:
"Maybe something, a little hurt." Qing Mu appeared inexplicably, and for a while, the Demon Emperor was a little surprised, especially the golden light on Qing Mu's body made him feel a little oppressive, and the Demon Emperor could not help being secretly vigilant, looking at Qing Mu's eyes with a dignified look.
It's worthy of being a master who has endured the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder, but... how could he be so embarrassed?
"Qing Mu, did the Heavenly Emperor find it?" Looking at the injury on Qing Mu's body, Hou Chi's eyes were dim, and he whispered.
Qingmu nodded, before speaking, Feng Ran asked bluntly
"Then how did you escape? Could it be that the Emperor of Heaven was merciful?"
Qingmu's expression was stunned, and he hesitated for a while before he sighed
"It was Jing Zhao who saved me."
As soon as these words came out, the three people on the side were startled, Feng Ran curled her lips and said nothing. A complex color flashed across Hou Chi's eyes, but then she said with relief
"It's fine if you can be safe, and it won't be too late to thank her in the future."
Qing Mu nodded, took out the Spirit Gathering Orb in his arms and put it in the hand of Hou Chi, and smiled
"Fortunately, Its...fortunately not insulting my life."
The Demon Emperor was curious for a while, and looked at the two of them intently. After seeing what was in Hou Chi's hands, he couldn't help taking a breath, and muttered, "Spirit-Gathering Orb..."
She actually got this thing out. The Spirit Gathering Orb is the pillar of the Profound Heaven Hall, or the seal of the Emperor.
Hou Chi... is too bold, and at the same time offends the immortal and demon realms, what is she going to do?
The milky white Spirit Gathering Orb exuded a faint color, Hou Chi held in her hand, and her heart was hot, but in an instant she returned to normal, looking at Qingmu, her eyes burning
"Qingmu, don't you blame me?
Qing Mu fixedly looked at her, his expression as gentle and peaceful as ever.
Seeing him not speaking, Hou Chi took a step forward, stood a step away from him, and said firmly
"I seize the Spirit Gathering Orb, Soul Suppressing Tower, Demon Gathering Streamer, and I ignore the wishes of the Father God... you really don’t Blame me?"
Hearing Hou Chi's questioning, the Demon Emperor beside him felt like his whole body was petrified. Spirit Gathering Orb, Soul Suppressing Tower, Demon Gathering Streamer...
She really dare to say it!
Suddenly remembering the effect of putting these three things together, the demon emperor's heart shuddered, and secretly said, is it possible that someone will be resurrected by Goddess Hou Chi?
Rumor has it that only souls are scattered in the Three Realms, and those who cannot return to the body need these three things to be refined at the same time.
Is it because of the person they came to the demon realm to look for?
But, who on earth could have allowed Hou Chi to do such a earth-shattering thing?
"The soul suppressing tower is lost, how is the mortal world?" Qing Mu looked at the Hou Chi and spoke softly, seeming to have never cared about the eyes cast by the Demon Emperor.
"Lord Bi Xi, promised to guard the mortal world for me for a hundred years."
"If the demon world loses its demon gathering streamer, what will happen?"
"The demon realm is supported by two major races. As long as the demon fox clan is not chaotic, relying on the prestige of the demon emperor, the demon gathering flag is optional.
Is there no Spirit Gathering Orb in the immortal realm?"
"The Heavenly Emperor and Empress are the upper gods, and their status is undisputed. The Spirit Gathering Orb is now only used for seals and cannot threaten the fundamentals of the immortal realm."
"Hou Chi, in that case, then why should I blame you? "
Qing Mu blinked, his expression calm.
"But I broke the Iron Law of the Three Realms, and let you and Feng Ran run around for my will for Bo Xuan..."
"Hou Chi, if you dont do this, you won't save him. Since the three treasures are already in your hands..." Qing Mu lowered his voice, leaning towards the Hou Chi and said
"You and Feng Ran will go back to Qingchi Palace to save Bo Xuan, God Gu Jun can protect you."
Sure enough, he was prepared to bear it from beginning to end.
Hou Chi did not move, her eyes closed lightly, and the fingertips holding the Spirit Gathering Orb paled slightly. After a while, a light laugh sounded.
"Qing Mu, if you live forever, it's really best to be free and wanton, it was built by my misfortune, and I would never let you and Feng Ran bear it. This... is my principle."
