Rebirth of a Villainess

"What do you think of asking the God of Fate to look into Yuan Su's whereabouts?!"

A tense air wrapped around Guangzi Jiu as he waited on the words from his long time confidant.

"Your highness! That is unheard of! Please reconsider!"

Hou Yao clasped the fingers of his in supplication with his head lowered towards the heavenly emperor.

"All this time, I held back from asking High God Chang Chen to look into her disappearance! Isn't it an injustice to watch and do nothing! It's being years, Hou Yao!"

The heavenly advisor could not lift his head for lack of words to say to the ruler of the nine heavens, whose felt pained by the loss of young love. It took the smashing of Guangzi Jiu's fist on the arm of his high throne to rattle Hou Yao out of his temporary cowardice.

"Your Highness, everyone looks up to you to maintain order in the nine heavens! By asking the God of Fate to look into the past, present and future of Yuan Su, you are not only breaking the law of life and death, but also making a mockery of the position of High God Chang Chen! There is likely a high price you have to pay for going against the order of nature. Please reconsider!"

Hou Yao's voice held a pleading in them, as he petitoned the heavenly emperor not to stray from the path of righteousness.

"Isn't there a way to look for her?!"

Not wanting to be derailed from his desires, Guangzi Jiu pressed his long time friend to look for means to resolve the mysterious disappearance of Yuan Su.

"Her Highness is not going to sit back while you look for Saintess Yuan Su!"

In a last bid to stir the heavenly emperor from wrongdoing, Hou Yao cried out in hope that the ruler of the nine heavens would see sense and not speak of looking for his forbidden love.

"What about it?! Where you not the one that said that I regain my bearing, but nothing has changed after all these years! Yuan Su..."

"Your Highness! Please!"

This time, the voice rang louder. The heavenly advisor could not stand the proud ruler of the nine heavens acting like a mortal, should anyone had walked in and heard what he said, the whole heavens would be thrown into a state of confusion because of it.

"Tell me, Hou Yao. Would I one day come to forget her?"
