The prince of Qionglang Tiangong is going to the mortal world to undergo a tribulation, and needs to choose an attendant to accompany him through the tribulation.
At that time, I was just a flying firefly whose spiritual consciousness was not yet developed. I stumbled into the web of fate woven by Ling Bu Si in ignorance, and accidentally got involved in the fate of the prince.
Therefore, this "good job" that was competed for by countless gods fell on me.
When the selection results were announced that day, I, who had just transformed into a human form, knelt down in the center of the hall, with hundreds of gazes behind me burning like rays of light on my back.
In those eyes, there was some envy, some confusion, some jealousy.
They couldn't figure out why a spiritual insect as lowly as a mote of dust could have such a good life.
In fact, even I can't figure it out myself.
After everyone dispersed, the Immortal Emperor came straight to me, who was shivering, with a stern look on his face.
He asked me, as an immortal servant, do I know the responsibilities I am about to bear?
After being at a loss for a while, I opened my mouth and answered:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a very good person. I will definitely protect him and let him survive the catastrophe safely, and then..."
I couldn't finish what I said later.
Blood splattered and meandered into a red river.
The severe pain caused me to curl up on the ground, and no one heard my miserable cry.
——As a servant of the prince, you must not tell lies, and you must not offend your superiors.
I am just a firefly taking human form for the first time, so naturally it is difficult for me to understand this truth.
So that day, the Immortal Emperor cut out my tongue as a punishment.
-----
The prince is the prince in heaven. When he comes to the mortal world, even though he loses his memory, he is still born in the emperor's family.
He is the bloodline left over from the late empress who died young, and lives dormant in the cold palace like a ghost.
This time, I became an inconspicuous mute slave beside him.
I have always kept the Immortal Emperor's warning in mind, and I no longer dare to cross the thunder pool. I just want to do what I should do peacefully and protect the person whose destiny is connected to mine.
After all... I can only survive if he is safe.
The prince's life was really not smooth.
The father is ignorant, the neighboring countries are eyeing him, and the traitors in the court are pressing him every step of the way. He sank into a cobweb-like complicated crisis, and his hands were gradually stained with blood.
His joys and sorrows and tears of blood all fell into my eyes. I knew everything, but I couldn't say anything.
The only thing that can be done is a little bit of insignificant companionship.
From the Cold Palace to the East Palace, and then to the Xixian Palace, the prince finally completed his transformation.
With the crown as his crown and the mysterious robe on his body, the battle for the throne has come to an end. He is already the lord of the nine states.
One day, I think he will also become the co-lord of the three realms.
This is how the natural emperor star should be in conjunction.
I was truly happy for him and packed my bags and prepared to leave on the night of his accession.
The prince no longer needs me, and I don't want to return to heaven.
The gods all look down on me, so who would want to cause trouble for nothing?
The door to the side hall was suddenly pushed open.
I thought it was the wind, but when I turned around and saw the familiar figure clearly, I was stunned in place.
Prince—no, at this time, perhaps I should call him "Your Majesty."
He seemed a little lonely, walked up to me step by step, and asked me:
"Where do you want to go?"
Actually, I haven't thought about it either.
A tiny, flowing firefly has always had no fixed abode.
As long as I can survive, anywhere in the vast world can be my home.
But he slowly stretched out his arms and hugged me, removing his heavenly majesty. There was only deep weariness in his tone, and an almost humble plea:
"In the past ten years, I have tried every scheming and conspiracy, and fought with swords and swords, and finally gained the unshakable dignity of the Emperor. From now on, no one will dare to humiliate and trample wantonly. You have been with me through those years, so..."
A string suddenly broke in my mind.
The young king leaned forward, lifted my face with his cold fingertips, and covered my face with his lips, silencing my struggle and completely blocking all my ways.
"——So... Can you please stay and continue to accompany me?"
-----
I stayed after all.
Even if I want to leave, I can't. This world belongs to the king, and I am just a mute slave beside him.
If he refuses to let me go, I can only be a bird raised in a beautiful cage and cannot go anywhere.
He has indeed given me countless honors and favors, but compared to these, I only care about his promise——
He said that he would give me all his love and from now on, no one would be able to bully me anymore.
Exclusively enjoying the emperor's favor is truly a luxury. I was so immersed in it that I naturally became dizzy.
-----
A hundred years for a mortal is really short compared to that of a god.
The prince's calamity expired, and his memory and divine status were restored together.
When the Immortal Emperor sent someone to pick him up, our "scandal" was finally exposed.
The whole heaven was furious.
No one cares about a spiritual insect's excuse. They will only think that if I dare to touch the prince of Immortal Court, I will die.
The final processing result is of course "satisfactory".
The prince received a mild punishment, broke off his love and returned to the upper world, and continued to be the proud son of his day;
And I was stripped of my skin, bruised and ashes by cramps, and died miserably in a ditch on the side of the road.
... Just one breath away, life is hard, and death is not possible.
-----
The day when I crawled out of the ditch while dying, it happened to be the birthday of the prince, and the three worlds celebrated it.
Looking up at the sky, countless cranes are surrounded by colorful clouds. Everything I see is an auspicious scene, but the bright and bright colors make me extremely disgusted.
Heaven is cruel and the weak can be bullied by everyone.
I lament that I have been stupid, ignorant and ignorant for half my life, and I only understand this truth today.
I looked away distractedly, turned around and boarded the ferry to the demon world.
This time, instead of living in the shadow of others, I decided to step out of the Shu Road and make my own way.
