Chapter Nine : Debt

FengJiu sighed to herself. She was at where she used to be, being in love with someone who could never love her in this world.True he once said that if he didn't remove his name from the Rock of Three Lives he would fall in love with her..but what is the  point? He already remove his name ages ago. The reason was to avoid worldly feelings as wars was breaking and he was a ruler that must not be bind by emotions.


Another sigh escaped from her lips.She bury herself against her arm and yet again sigh-


She was wearing a simple white robe with a white jade pin on her hair.She was just relaxing in DongHua Dijun's study room ..after all he was out saying he had things to do and may come back late.


In a way that sort of made her feel lonely..but at least she can avoid Dijun for awhile.


"Little princess is there something bothering you?"


She almost forgot that the Star Lord , Si Ming and Chengyu was here.For some reason Dijun forbid Yan Chiwu from coming here if he is not around-The reason was he does not trust him..but let us be clear here..does Dijun even trust anyone? he never shows such emotion and it's hard to know either he trust someone or not.


The voice of the Star Lord broke her day dream as she avert her gaze from where Dijun usually sit in his leisure and let another sigh escape from her again.


"...I am having the same trouble that happen 2000 years ago ..."


Si Ming also choked on his tea and it literally slip from his hand onto his lap as the steam could be seen on his robe noting that the tea was indeed still hot while Chengyu was looking at the little princess with sparkling eyes as she clasped her hands together in delight from hearing it! Chengyu had always play a part as a cupid for FengJiu and it seems she can resume that part once again! this time she will put extra effort to make sure that stone hearted immortal fall in love with FengJiu!


"Little princess..you know Dijun had already tell you that you guys are no fated to be toge--"


before his words could even finish Chengyu had push him aside with all her strength and sat closer to Fengjiu before swiftly taking out her plain white fan and fanned herself.


"Psshhh, fated or not ! that doesn't matter!heavens will take pity to those who works hard! that's why you should not listen to those ill omen! it's stupid! just follow your heart! I will always be here to support you"


Hearing it from Chengyu soften her heart a bit..the heart that aching all this time stop for a moment..there was actually someone who would support her..and that made her happy.She look at the immortal besides her with hope and replied..


"But he will kick me out if he knew about this..."


" Then don't tell him yet you silly girl! before this you been trying to pull him to you!how about this time you play hard to get?"


"hard to get?"


FengJiu was dumfounded...she heard about it in her Aunt's books..but never tried it before.


"but Dijun does not even care for me ..if I acted like that he would just brush me off and happily live his usual life"


Chengyu lightly hit her forehead with the fan remember that the stone hearted immortal wasn't an easy man.Those hard to get plan would only work on frivolous people like LianSong, the third prince of heaven.


"But if..I remember correctly, you are living in this place right?"


"that's true..and Dijun is usually around me within a distance to make sure nothing happen to me.."


Chengyu pondered a moment.There was a few ways that she could think up that will works, but then a smirk tug on her lips and it send shiver down Si Ming's spines..the immortal wasn't up to something good! Dijun..whatever happen..he didn't do anything! so please so have mercy!Si Ming pray from the bottom of his heart that nothing bad would happen to both Dijun and little princess-


"how about let's go with a jealousy plan?~ I know someone that is extremely intrested with you!"


"...."


Si Ming look at the immortal besides the little princess..there was no way that will even work.Dijun isn't vulnerable to such feelings...


"That's..actually a good idea..after all if ...only if he still has a tiny soft spot for me..he would probably be jealous right?"


The little princess gave them a gentle geniune hopeful smile and Si Ming didn't have the courage to break her heart for that-He have no choice but to be involve after all..just because he cares deeply for the little princess..she was after all like a little sister to him so he was quite protective of her and often spoil her a lot.


....
........


The person that Chengyu had in mind was indeed someone who is intrested in the Queen of QingQiu.He was an immortal under the mountain of ZhiYue.CangYi had always been perculiar with Bai FengJiu, there was a lot of rumours about her but the most intresting one that she is the youngest Queen of QingQiu that was recorded in the history.It was said that she was a noble queen and graceful.Not just that, they also noted that her beauty was only second to her Aunt, High Goddess Bai Qian.CangYi hold some people enough to be recongnize in heaven.He was quite excited to be able to meet the queen of QingQiu today near the Pundrika Pond.


She was sitting under the tree to take shelter from the sun , there was a small table infront of her and there a few snacks serve on a tray with a small teapot.Her white robe was fluttering in the wind as she tucked her raven hair behind her earlobe.She was staring in distance and when the wind pass by her, it carried the scent of peach blossom instead of lotus as if her scent was stronger than the lotus that was floating on the water.


"Cangyi greets the Queen of QingQiu"


he utter in full gentleness with a small smile tugging on his lips.Her appearance was breathtaking, she did not use any heavy make up and instead just a light colour lipstick smear on her thin lips that was curling onto a smile.He sat on the opposite site and started to talk to introduce himself to her.He was really grateful with Chengyu has help him to meet up with the Queen since it was said that after the wedding of the crown prince, she had went into seclusion for a certain unknown reason.


"May...I ask if you are free tomorrow?"


..FengJiu quickly look toward Chengyu who was hidden from his sight and quickly nodded in response...but she felt that doing this was wrong..even though it was just an act, his feelings toward her was honest.


The wind then carried the scent of sandalwood all of the sudden and the gentle wind turn into a storming wind instead.For a moment FengJiu felt as if there was someone staring behind her intently...


"I..think I am free tomorrow.."


she mumnled softly with a half hearted smile..even though she is good at faking it still feels wrong to treat him like an object after all he was a young honest lad.The deity eyes infront of her shone with hope ,smilling in happiness while increasing the guilt in her heart..she felt like she was choking from his honesty and only acted oblivious about it.


"It..is quite late right now..I will be taking my leave now"


FengJiu hurriedly bid him farewell and fled away from the Pundrika Pond as the scent of sandalwood was still lingering in the air and it fill her lung.She almost stumbled down upon running but a strong arm wrapped around her slim waist and pulled her against him.


"It seems you are having a nice day today"


He stared into her eyes with a cold gaze and she immediately freeze in place unable to break away from his embrace.The air around him was somehow heavy and it was hard to breath properly right now.. and her heart once again betray her..


"Dijun...I was just bored..so Chengyu decided to introduce me to her friend.."


She muttered softly like a whisper and Dijun's cold gaze was unfazed even for a bit and it made her slightly timid.It was like she has done something bad..but she was quite sure that she avoided any skinship with Cangyi and put a proper distance between them.


"Hoo?..you were bored hmm?"


There was a hint of bitterness in his voice that made FengJiu look at him in disbelief...is..he..perhaps...jealous? Like Chengyu had plan?...impossible impossible! this is Dijun they are talking about! a deity that is well renowned all over the world.


"I am jealous that you actually spend time with him alone"


He said unhurriedly with her in his arms as they walked back to TaiChen Palace ...though his face shows no emotion thus hearing him said so..that was quite suprising.A giggle escaped from her lips and smile teasingly at him.


"does this mean you wanted to spend some lone time with me as well?"


he furrowed his eyebrows and leaned closer  to her while pulling her tightly against his chest whispering into her ear with a hint of hoarseness in his voice he said-


"..yes"
