The little immortal deeply admired the queen, Li Qiyu. She was a true heroic woman, and the Li family was full of loyal and noble people. A large part of the good fortune of the Mu Dynasty was due to the Li family's protection of the dragon vein energy.
It was a pity that the little immortal had seen too much of the world's fickleness. In this world, the more treacherous the courtier, the longer they lived, while the more loyal ones were more likely to be suspected by the emperor.
The Li family declined, and Li Qiyu's situation was no better. The little immortal felt so heart - ache for her. It was really tough for the little immortal, because the heart - ache was for two people. Not only did the little immortal feel sorry for Li Qiyu, who had lost all her relatives and friends and was left with nothing, but also for Young Master Zhou, who was so fond of the queen.
Every day, the little immortal watched Young Master Zhou walking back and forth under the city wall patiently. He would take the longest way in the palace just to pass by the queen's palace.
Since the little immortal had become a celestial being, they had long cast off the seven emotions and six desires of the mortal world. The little immortal used to think that the love affairs in the mortal world were just a nuisance, something created by mortals to add to their troubles. But one day, when the little immortal saw Li Qiyu walking on the roof like a kitten, they were really worried about her, fearing that she might fall.
On this night, there seemed to be some grand event on the street. Fireworks lit up the whole street. The little immortal calculated with their fingers and found that it was not any festival. After being a god for so long, the little immortal liked to watch the magnificent fireworks in the mortal world.
However, just as the little immortal was distracted, Li Qiyu fell off the eaves. Fortunately, the little immortal reacted quickly and transformed into the wind. But the wind could only cushion her fall a bit. Although she survived, her body must have been much weaker.
Later, the little immortal realized that they had worried for nothing. She didn't want to play on the roof at all. She clearly wanted to end her own life.
Sure enough, a god could never stop a mortal who was determined to die. She tried again soon. This time, she was smarter and climbed up the Star - Picking Tower.
The little immortal transformed into a gale, but still couldn't stop her from climbing up. Moreover, this time, she even made a wish on the Star - Picking Tower.
"Song Jiaye, if there is an afterlife, I don't want to be your wife anymore."
Fine. As a good god who aimed to fulfill every wish, since she had made a wish here, the little immortal had to agree.
The little immortal watched helplessly as she jumped off the Star - Picking Tower. Don't ask why the little immortal didn't save her. As a god, they had long shed their mortal body. As the little immortal had said before, they could only exist as wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. If they wanted to lift her up, they might have to transform into a tornado.
Do you think it's reliable to have a tornado in the palace?
Moreover, in the little immortal's opinion, death might not be a bad thing for her. All her relatives were dead, and she was obviously unhappy in the palace. An early reincarnation and a new happy life could be a kind of relief.
It was just a pity for Zhou Donglin.
He would be heart - broken when he knew Li Qiyu was dead.
The little immortal made sure that she died painlessly, with her life ending as soon as she hit the ground. This was all the little immortal could do.
However, the little immortal didn't expect that the crazy emperor, Song Jiaye, would make his second wish on the Star - Picking Tower.
He said, "In the afterlife, I, Song Jiaye, still want you, Li Qiyu, to be my wife."
Wow. If it weren't for the rule in the Heavenly Court that gods were not allowed to bully mortals, the little immortal would really have wanted to throw him off the Star - Picking Tower at that moment.
What kind of person was he? He was the one who went back on his words. Now he started to regret after she was dead. Where was he before?
Moreover, Li Qiyu had just made a wish that she would never meet him in her whole life, and then he made a wish that she would be his wife in the next life. Wasn't he deliberately trying to undermine the little immortal's work?!
It really annoyed the little immortal.
The little immortal now could only pin their hope on Zhou Donglin. It would be great if he made a wish.
For this reason, even though he didn't say his wish out loud, the little immortal went into his heart. But as soon as the little immortal went in, they came out.
The grief in his heart was beyond what an ordinary person could bear.
Not even a god could bear it.
Alas, in this state, it was impossible for him to make a wish. The little immortal just hoped that he wouldn't do anything stupid.
After all, the little immortal had made a vow that all wishes would come true. Now the little immortal was really afraid that Li Qiyu would really meet Song Jiaye in the next life. If so, her next life would be ruined.
Forget it. She couldn't be allowed to die. Fortunately, the little immortal had read a lot of modern novels and knew about time - travel. For mortals, it might be just a wild fantasy, but for the little immortal, it was a piece of cake.
Let's arrange it!
Li Qiyu's physical body was already destroyed, and it was unrealistic to take a physical body through time. This violated...
Soon, Song Jiaye's retribution came.
Don't blame the little immortal. It was all because of the oath Song Jiaye had made before. From the moment he made that oath, everything was already doomed. And even without that oath, judging from Song Jiaye's current state of being crazy for power, the court would be in chaos sooner or later.
After General Li died, there was no capable general to defend against the enemy outside. Prime Minister Zhou retired with a broken heart, and there was no capable minister to stabilize the court inside.
The national fortune of the Mu State was coming to an end. As for Song Jiaye, he was soon pulled down from the court by his own son, just as he had pulled his elder brother down from the position of crown prince and forced his father to abdicate.
Since Li Qiyu's death, Zhou Donglin had never entered the palace again. Only the little white cat that Li Qiyu had raised would occasionally climb up the Star - Picking Tower, like an old friend of the little immortal.
Presumably, like the little immortal, it also missed the old acquaintance.
The Mu Dynasty was really uninteresting. The little immortal went out for a tour and took a look at Li Qiyu in the modern world. It was really not easy for an ancient person to adapt to the bustling modern life. If it were someone else, they might have broken down already. Fortunately, Li Qiyu was the daughter of a general's family. Although she stumbled at first, she gradually adapted.
When the little immortal returned to the Mu Dynasty, they found that the national fortune of the Mu Dynasty seemed to be recovering. It seemed that there was a prime minister named Li Yu. It was he who had come up with strategies for the new emperor to bring down Song Jiaye.
In the end, Song Jiaye was dealt with by the Li family. To be honest, even the little immortal, who couldn't really understand mortal emotions, felt delighted.
The little immortal went around the Star - Picking Tower. The tower was in disrepair and was already covered with moss. It was deserted. Today, for some reason, an old man with white hair and a walking stick climbed up the Star - Picking Tower. Facing the wind, he looked in the direction of the queen's palace.
Although his body was hunched and his expression was not as good as before, the little immortal could still recognize him at a glance.
Zhou Donglin.
Time had aged him, and the young man had finally become an old man.
Zhou Donglin, who had never made a wish for himself, made a wish this time.
