A Reeling Feeling
It's been a week now since Feng Jiu was back from the mortal realm and she overcome her trial and ascended. She can think clearly now minus the crying and acting like a crazy woman but the pain... the excruciating pain is still deep and she thinks... it's already etched in her whole being. She refused to see anyone for now and she brooded over the things that has happened to her trial back in the mortal realm. She's thankful that her family is being very patient with her and understanding in what she's going through. She sighed. She's feeling hopeless.
One thing that Feng Jiu is sure, she will try her hardest not to fall inlove again. Her first time is painful and it left a deep impact on her. She will start and guard her emotions from now on and she'll be more mindful of the men that approaches her, except ofcourse for the men that already existed in her life prior to her love trial and ascension. She tried to think and remember what the people in her mortal trial looks like but the more she think and remember, the more her memories became blurry and vague. It's as if her memories from her trial are becoming like a thick fog, slowly dissipating and disappearing as the day passes by. But what remained solid, are the feelings from that trial. It still renders her shock and frozen. It is a traumatizing experience and she doesn't want to experience and feel those feelings again. She only left Qingqiu for 25 days and when she came back, everything is not the same anymore. She's not the same anymore.
She also wanted to feel resentful to the people back in the mortal realm who made her life hard and miserable but she helplessly cannot do it since everything that has happened to her is part of the fates plan for her ascension. Everything and everyone in her life in the mortal realm is part of her ascension to be a goddess and those people are just instruments the fates had used.
Feng Jiu felt cheated and played but everything that has happened must be forgotten and buried, for good. Now, she learned a very hard lesson and she's back. This is her real world and real life but she felt uncertain of what the future may bring. She sighed. Atleast before she left the mortal realm, she severed ties with her mortal husband. Again, she closed her eyes and tried to remember what her mortal husband looks like but she only remembered a foggy looking figure. She gasped and her heart clenched hurtfully when she remembered him say Wǒ ài nǐ. She opened her eyes and got off her bed. She started pacing back and forth trying to forget again. How stupid can you get? You're trying to forget yet deep in your heart, you still love him. Remember that he's just an instrument and a mortal. Nothing good will come out if you'll hold on to something that is temporary. Feng Jiu thought and scolded herself.
But then it dawned on her again. There is a promise that she needs to uphold. She remembered her mortal best friend Ye Qingti. She remembered her other friend too, the god of underworld Xie Gucho. Feng Jiu smiled for the first time since she came back. She's going to fulfill a promise and Xie Gucho can help her.

Zhe Yan, Bai Zhi, Bai Yi, Bai Zhen, the ninetailed fox empress lady Fumi and Feng Jiu's mother congregated in the fox den. They held a family meeting to talk about and decide what to do with the youngest Bai. They are worried for her mental and emotional stability but the god of medicine reassured them all that their Xiaojiu is doing alright.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj25o71eJS0

"Give her some credit will you? If we worry and hover on to her too much, how can she become the next queen of Qingqiu? " Zhe Yan said and drink his tea.
The rest of the Bai family silently nodded and agreed then Zhe Yan continued,
"And besides, it looks like she's just brooding over it. It seems she's going to forget the memories soon. Just give her a thousand and more years it'll feel like a dream to her. "
"Did you do something?" Bai Zhen asked Zhe Yan suspiciously and Zhe Yan just faced Zhen zhen acting like he's hurt and said,
"I didn't do anything. I only fed her a potion for her body to get better but you never know if that medicine I gave her has the ability to forget. "
"Zhe Yan!" Bai Zhen said in an offended voice. Zhe Yan raised his two palms infront of him as if he's surrendering and said,
"I swear. The medicine I gave her is just to heal her physical body. Don't worry about her chastity. It's easy to repair that too. Xiaojiu is stronger than you thought she is. So just trust her okay?"
Zhe Yan saw Bai Yi sighed. He knew that Bai Yi is the most affected. Then he remembered about his and Zhen-zhen's visit in the nine heavens four days ago. It seems they need to talk about it now. Zhe Yan looked at Bai Zhen who was looking back at him and he nodded back. Understanding that they need to address the elephant in the room Bai Zhen spoke first,
"We haven't really discussed what happened to Xiaojiu back in the mortal realm. Zhe Yan and I learned a great deal when we paid Star Lord Siming a visit four days ago."
Bai Zhi and Bai Yi straightened their backs. Because of what happened to Xiaojiu, they definitely forgot that Zhe Yan and Zhen-zhen went to the nine heavens and inquired Xiaojiu's trial. The two men waited for them Bai Zhen to speak.
"We learned that since you left Xiaojiu's destiny blank Father... " Bai Zhen looked at his father in which his father nodded in agreement Bai Zhen continued,
"...her fate is intertwined with another immortal who is also undergoing a trial at the same time with her. This immortal also left his fate blank. "
Bai Zhi and Bai Yi's brow furrowed in puzzlement while the Bai women gasped.
"His?"
Both Bai Zhen and Zhe Yan nodded.
"A male? " Bai Yi inquired.
"Not just an ordinary immortal male." Zhe Yan added.
Both Bai Zhi and Bai Yi are now curious.
"Xiaojiu married this immortal back in the mort realm and... " Bai Zhen stopped and looked at Zhe Yan. Zhe Yan took the cue to continue what Bai Zhen has started.
"To make the story short and clear Xiaojiu's and the male immortal's trial were left blank. So, I guess the fates took interest in this and intertwined their fate. The most interesting part is that, this male immortal is no other than Dong Hua Dijun. "
The Bai family went silent. They can hear the chirping birds outside and as expected Bai Zhi reacted violently and stood.
"No! No! Not Dong Hua. " Bai Zhi closed his eyes. Bai Yi just rubbed his temples and closed his eyes. The fox empress, lady Fumi and Xiaojiu's mother groaned in disappointment.
"Well, we didn't decide it for them. The fates did. " Zhe Yan said.
"Did Xiaojiu know any of this? " Bai Yi asked.
"Xiaojiu didn't know and I guess after what happened in the mortal realm, she's not interested in knowing. Your daughter is not that stupid. She knows what it means after she have her trial."
The Bai men all sighed. Of all the immortal men that Xiaojiu had an intertwined fate, it is Dong Hua Dijun that was chosen. They are having a hard time accepting this.
"Does... Dong Hua know? " Bai Zhi asked again.
"That's also interesting. As per Star Lord Siming said, Dong Hua should only be in the mortal realm for 30 mortal years but it seems fate extended it for another 50 mortal years. I don't really know what to come to this. "
"Let's wait until his trial will end. We'll know if he remembers when he will visit us here in Qingqiu. " Bai Zhen said which the Bai family and Zhe Yan agreed.
The Bai family still have to wait 50 immortal days until they will know. For the mean time, they'll just look out on Feng Jiu and be there for her until she feels alright.
Nine Heavens
Star Lord Siming started reading the scroll of his majesty Dong Hua Dijun. He wondered why his majesty was extended in the mortal realm for far too long. In the mortal realm it's his Majesty's 37th mortal year. And what he read is that the mortal Dong Hua suffered an emotional blow after his wife died in child birth and another blow when he was informed that his wife carried his child unknowingly to him.
Mortal Dong Hua's life took a 360 degrees turn after that tragic day. 436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0i8oSPZ6j

After learning the death of the youngest Bai, the mortal Bai's made mortal Dong Hua's life hard and miserable by trying to bankrupt the Dijun empire in which led to a messy messy economy and country. A lot of people's jobs lost and lives were miserable because of that fight between the two business giants.
Siming can only sigh and again close the scroll and hide using his magic. Until now, Siming wondered why his majesty decided to undergo a mortal trial. He has an inkling that third heavenly prince Lian Song and Taichen Goong's head steward Zhong Lin knew the reason why his majesty took an interest in undergoing a mortal trial. Siming can only speculate and as much as he wants to ask, he refrained from doing it. He needs to be on track on his Majesty's mortal life and check for an anomaly if there is any. Because he's so busy contemplating the bizarre mortal trial of his majesty, Siming didn't realize that the third prince Lian Song is at his left side and as usual holding his fan.
"Siming. " Lian Song said to make himself known in which Siming jump in surprise. Lian Song hid his mirth by covering his mouth by his fan and waited for Siming to compose himself.
"Don't do that again third prince. I'll die of fright if you keep on sneaking on me. "
"I didn't mean to sneak on you. I passed in the front door and didn't use magic to come here. So what kept you so distracted that you didn't sensed my presence? "
This time Siming offered his highness third prince Lian Song to sit opposite of him and poured tea. Then Siming spoke with all seriousness,
"His Majesty's mortal trial is extended to another 50 mortal years. "
Lian Song was surprised and so he sputtered the tea he just drank in Siming's face. Siming with eyes still trained on Lian Song just blink his eyes and released a sigh. He slowly took a cloth and wipe his wet face. Lian Song on the other hand smiled apologetically and cleared his throat in embarrassment and said,
"Extended? Why? I thought he has only 30 mortal years?"
"Well, I don't know. " Siming still wiping his wet face and part of his clothing answered honestly.
"You're incharge of mortal fates how come you don't know. "
Siming looked at the third prince seriously and replied,
"His Majesty's book of fate is empty. His majesty Dong Hua Dijun left everything on the fate and destiny. "
"They must've took interest on Dong Hua's fate and decided to extend it. That's quiet... Strange... "
"Not only that. Another immortal was intertwined with his and who was also undergoing a trial-" Siming stopped. He realized his mistake.
Lian Song stopped fanning himself and he clearly heared Siming that there is another immortal with an intertwined fate with Dong Hua back in the mortal realm. Lian Song grinned. Siming sighed loudly and closed his eyes. He just spilled the beans and he knew the third prince will not stop asking him unless he'll tell tale. And so, Siming started telling Lian Song the fates playing match maker towards the mortal trial of both his majesty Dong Hua Dijun and the future queen of Qingqiu Bai Feng Jiu.
