Chapter 49 Voluntary
"Sister Baihua."
The Third Holy Mother was a little flustered and hurriedly explained: "How could I lie to you! You also heard that day that my second brother said he would definitely come! He is on his way now and will be here soon!"
Everyone around was confused, not knowing what was going on and how it was related to the God of Justice.
"That's good."
Fairy Baihua really enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention and said, "Third sister, you know I hate being deceived. If you deceive me again this time, we won't be sisters anymore."
"Don't worry, Sister Baihua. That won't be the case today." The Third Holy Mother assured.
Someone nearby couldn't help but ask, "Sister Baihua, what are you talking about? I don't understand!"
Fairy Baihua glanced at everyone and pretended to be indifferent and said, "Some time ago, I and the sisters from Baihua Division didn't come to Guanjiangkou to play with Third Sister because we heard someone say that the God of Justice disliked our low status and didn't want us to associate with Third Sister."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the flower fairies started talking at once.
"Ah?! There is such a thing? I didn't even know that!"
"No wonder Sister Baihua didn't let us come to look for Third Sister during that time. It turns out it was because of this!"
"I thought Sister Baihua and Third Sister were having a quarrel, so I wanted to help them reconcile!"
…
The naturally weak Yaocao Fairy was even more direct, with moist eyes, and looked at the Third Holy Mother eagerly: "Third sister, do you not want to associate with us anymore?"
"No, that's not the case! These are all misunderstandings. My second brother would never say such a thing, and I am not that kind of person! Believe me!"
The Third Holy Mother was so anxious that she almost cried. She stepped forward and shook the arm of the Fairy of Flowers, wanting her to explain for her: "Sister Flowers!"
Fairy Baihua looked at the Third Holy Mother in front of her, and after five or six seconds, she said, "I believe what Third Sister said!"
The Third Holy Mother's eyes turned red, and she almost cried for joy. She just kept thanking her, "Sister Baihua, thank you! Thank you!"
"Third sister, you don't have to thank me. It's your sincerity that touched me."
Fairy Baihua patted the hands of the Third Holy Mother and said to everyone, "I didn't want to come to this birthday party today. Although my Baihua Division is not as good as his Judicial Heavenly God Temple, I still have some backbone."
"It was my third sister who came to the Hundred Flowers Department in person and told me that the God of Justice had never had such an idea or said such a thing. She also promised that she would give me an explanation today. That's why I called all the sisters together to celebrate my third sister's birthday."
As soon as she said this, there was an uproar in the hall.
The God of Justice is extremely powerful and ruthless. He is the only one who has ever intervened in other people's affairs. I have never heard of anyone daring to ask him for an explanation!
Everyone looked at the Fairy of Flowers with shock and disbelief.
Li Anran is no exception.
However, what shocked him was not that the Fairy of Flowers dared to ask Yang Jian for an explanation, but the Fairy of Flowers herself!
This Fairy of Flowers' brain is like a piece of dog shit when it comes to big things, and she can't tell the difference between the important and the unimportant. But when it comes to these little tricks, she's quite good at it!
Yang Jian only warned her to stay away from the Three Holy Mothers, but she directly expanded the matter to all the flower fairies in the Hundred Flowers Department, using the flower fairies of the Hundred Flowers Department to kidnap the Three Holy Mothers, and then used the Three Holy Mothers to kidnap Yang Jian!
She was also smart enough not to tell anyone about Yang Jian's warning to her, but only said that she heard someone say it, obviously using this as a trump card to threaten Yang Jian.
However, these are actually nothing. What really shocked Li Anran was that he realized the reason why the Fairy of Flowers did this!
The Fairy of Flowers has average cultivation, is not very cunning, and has very obvious mood swings.
He only needed to practice his skills slightly to clearly sense her emotional changes.
What he felt most strongly in the Fairy of Flowers was the pride and the jealousy hidden underneath!
In other words, the Fairy of Flowers most likely did these things without any clear purpose, she was just out of jealousy and vanity towards the Three Holy Mothers!
A low-rank immortal was willing to offend the God of Justice and pua the Three Holy Mothers just to vent his jealousy and gain some vanity...
Li Anran was really shocked by the evilness and stupidity of the Fairy of Flowers!
As for the Three Holy Mothers, he also understood them clearly.
A typical people-pleasing personality and a bully at home!
She is obviously the niece of the Jade Emperor and the younger sister of the God of Justice, and her status is considered upper class in the Three Realms. But when facing the Fairy of Flowers, no, even when facing those ordinary flower fairies, her attitude is so humble that it is a little scary.
The fear and cautiousness can be seen with the naked eye.
Only in front of relatives and acquaintances like Yang Jian and the Meishan brothers would she show her true character.
Also, because she knew subconsciously that Yang Jian and his Meishan brothers would tolerate and forgive her, she ignored the feelings of Yang Jian and his brothers in order to please outsiders like the Fairy of Flowers.
It was not intentional, but it was a subconscious choice.
The reason for all this might really be related to the fact that Yang Jian and his Meishan brothers left her alone in Guanjiangkou!
On the other side, Fairy Baihua was completely immersed in it and continued, "The God of Justice is in charge of the Heavenly Laws and should enforce the law impartially. I have behaved uprightly and have never violated the Heavenly Laws. What's wrong with asking the God of Justice for an explanation? Will he put me in the Heavenly Prison for this?"
She thought her tone was calm and composed, but in fact her face was flushed and her voice was trembling, and she was obviously extremely excited.
“No!” The Third Holy Mother shook her head like a rattle and assured, “Sister Baihua and all the sisters, don’t worry! My second brother would never do such a thing! If he really dares to be rude to you, then I…then I will never talk to him again!”
The flower fairies went from being shocked to worshipping and admiring.
"Sister Baihua, you said it so well! We all support you!"
"Yes, Sister Baihua is so powerful! She's not even afraid of the Lord God of Justice!"
"Sister Baihua is not only amazing, she is also very generous! Even though she was slandered by others, she still came to celebrate the birthday of the third sister and even worked hard to prepare so many gifts!"
"Third sister, you must remember how good Sister Baihua is to you! Don't be that ungrateful person!"
…
"You don't have to say that. Third sister and I are not like real sisters, but we are better than real sisters. This is what I, as a sister, should do!"
The Fairy of Flowers' pretending to be reserved and modest made Boss Kang, who was accompanying Li Anran in the side hall, completely unable to hold his temper. Just as he was about to rush over to question her, he heard a particularly harsh sneer.
The Fairy of Flowers' expression froze for a moment. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw the Fourth Princess of the East China Sea with a pout and a look of disdain on her face.
"Princess Long Si, what are you laughing at!" Yihuaxian said angrily.
The Fourth Princess of the East China Sea leads troops outside all year round and has dealt with all kinds of monsters and demons. Unlike the Third Holy Mother, who stays in Guanjiangkou all year round and has a simple mind, she is not fooled by them at all.
"I didn't quite understand why the toad was so arrogant and conceited. It turns out that there are a bunch of even more stupid and ignorant tadpoles following behind it!"
Li Anran grabbed Boss Kang who was about to step forward and said, "Brother Kang, let's wait a little longer!"
Given the character of the Third Holy Mother, it is impossible to persuade a close friend like Boss Kang, and instead, the words of outsiders are more effective.
Especially outsiders like Long Si who have a close relationship with the company.
The faces of the Fairy of Flowers and the other flower fairies suddenly fell, and they gritted their teeth and said, "Long Si, what do you mean by this?"
"Don't you understand this?"
Long Si didn't indulge them at all, and directly pointed out: "I said you are sitting in a well and looking at the sky, and I said they are stupid and ignorant and have no brains!"
"Long Si! You are going too far!" The Fairy of Flowers turned green with anger.
Long Si did not retreat but advanced, his golden eyes flashing with cold light and murderous intent: "What? You still want to fight me?"
The Fairy of Flowers had never fought with anyone before. A hint of panic flashed across her eyes, and she unconsciously shortened her head by half a head.
Long Si saw it and showed a sneer of contempt on his face.
The Fairy of Flowers was provoked by this and became furious. She waved her right hand and her five-colored cloud sleeves turned into streams of light and flew out.
Long Si was not afraid at all. He dodged Yunxiu by leaning sideways. At the same time, he pulled out the hairpin on his head, turned it into a long sword, and swung it towards the Fairy of Flowers.
The golden sword energy burst out and slashed on the cloud sleeves of the Fairy , making a clanging sound of metal and stone colliding, and the light splashed and the magic power surged.
The whole hall was suddenly in chaos.
A group of flower fairies wanted to step forward to help, but their strength was far inferior, so they could only stamp their feet in anxiety.
The Third Holy Mother had never expected that her two sisters would suddenly start a fight. She was stunned for seven or eight seconds before she came to her senses and urged loudly, "Sister Baihua, Fourth Princess, stop fighting!"
But Fairy Baihua and Long Si were both really angry and were not willing to stop. Instead, they became more and more ruthless, with each move targeting the vital points.
In terms of magical power alone, Fairy Baihua and Long Si are both at the level of True Immortal, with little difference between them. However, in terms of actual combat experience, Fairy Baihua is far from being Long Si's opponent.
In addition, the sword in Long Si's hand was a magic weapon of the Dragon Palace, which was far superior to the cloud sleeves of the Fairy of Flowers. However, after a few rounds, the Fairy of Flowers was at a disadvantage.
"Why did they start fighting?"
Boss Kang still hasn't fully understood why these two people, who were so friendly with each other not long ago, suddenly started fighting over a disagreement.
Li Anran was more concerned about the process of their fight.
This was the first time he saw two true immortals fighting in real life.
But before he could take a closer look, a ray of light fell, and the Fairy of Flowers and Long Si seemed to have pressed the pause button. Their movements froze and they stood still.
However, the Third Holy Mother saw that something was not right, so she took out the Precious Lotus Lantern and imprisoned the two men.
Long Si wanted to break free from the rosy glow, but he couldn't do it at all. He could only shout, "Third sister, let me go! Today I must show him how powerful I am!"
"It's still unclear who will be more powerful!" The Fairy of Flowers was already feeling timid, but she was unwilling to lose face and was still being stubborn.
The Third Holy Mother pleaded, "Sister Baihua, Fourth Princess, please stop fighting. If you have anything to say, please talk it out!"
As she spoke, she untied the Precious Lotus Lantern.
With this step, Fairy Baihua took advantage of the situation to put away her cloud sleeves and said, "Third sister, you can see it too. It's not me who is causing trouble for her. It's Long Si who is going too far!"
"Oh, I'm going too far?" Long Si sneered and said, "Today is Third Sister's birthday, and you insist on being the bad guest and being aggressive! How can I watch you bully Third Sister!"
"What do you mean we are being aggressive and bullying the third sister?!"
Fairy Baihua naturally denied it and said, "Ask Third Sister, did I insist on coming here today, or did she beg me to come? Did I ask her to agree to it, or did she agree on her own?"
The Third Holy Mother said, "Yes... I went to heaven to invite Sister Baihua here, and I also promised Sister Baihua."
Fairy Baihua said, "I put aside past grudges and brought a group of sisters from the Baihua Division to celebrate for you, Third Sister. Together, we brewed a thousand bottles of Baihua wine for you, collected a hundred jars of spiritual dew, and took great pains to find twenty exotic herbs. Third Sister, tell me, how have I treated you? Am I bullying you?"
The Third Holy Mother quickly shook her head and was about to express her gratitude, but Long Si sneered and said sarcastically: "A thousand bottles of Hundred Flower Wine? A hundred jars of Spiritual Dew? Twenty exotic herbs? What a big deal!"
"Long Si!" Fairy Baihua's face darkened and she said, "I know that your Dragon Palace in the East China Sea is very rich and has many treasures. The gift I sent is not as valuable , but the friendship and sincerity in it are no less than yours!"
"Hahahaha! What sincerity, what friendship!"
Long Si pointed at the hairpin on the head of the Fairy of Flowers and asked, "Third sister, I remember you liked this double phoenix-patterned gilded hairpin very much before. How did it end up in her hands?"
Before the Third Holy Mother spoke, Kang Lao Da beside Li Anran had already cried out "Ouch!", his face full of pain: "I was wondering why I haven't seen the Third Sister wearing the double phoenix patterned gilded hairpin recently. She actually gave this hairpin to the Fairy of Flowers!"
Then he said to Li Anran, "This hairpin was a birthday gift given to Third Sister by Second Master two years ago. We put a lot of effort into it."
The Third Holy Mother on the other side was confused and said, "Last year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Sister Baihua gave me a Baihua handkerchief, and I didn't know what to give her. Later, I heard from Fairy Youlan that Sister Baihua liked my hairpin very much and had always wanted to make an identical one, so I gave it to her."
"Hit one that's exactly the same? Fairy Baihua is really brave enough to think of it!"
Long Si showed a hint of ridicule and asked, "Third sister, do you know what material this pair of phoenix-patterned gilded hairpins are made of?"
The Three Saints shook their heads.
Long Si said word by word: "The branches of the ancient sacred tree Jianmu!"
Seeing that the Third Holy Mother was still bewildered, she simply asked, "Third sister, I gave you a lot of gifts today, right?"
The Third Holy Mother said quickly: "It's more than a lot, it's really too generous, I... I don't dare to accept it."
"Third sister! My good third sister!"
Long Si looked helpless and said, "Do you know that even if all the gifts I gave you were multiplied ten or a hundred times, they still can't be exchanged for a hairpin you casually gave away!"
"Ah?!" The Third Holy Mother was shocked.
She only knew that these were gifts from her second brother and had no idea of their value.
The rest of the people were also surprised and couldn't help but look at the hairpin on the Fairy of Flowers' head.
The Fairy of Flowers' expression suddenly looked a little strange.
However, Long Si did not let her go . He pointed at the earrings and said, "You also gave him that pair of red gold and pearl pendants, right?"
The Third Holy Mother hummed and said, "It was a birthday gift I gave to Sister Baihua two years ago."
"Where is the emerald green orchid bracelet on her hand?"
"A birthday present from the year before last."
"Where's the jade pendant?"
"This Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Where's the pendant?"
…
Long Si did not elaborate on the value of these things one by one.
But with the pair of gilded hairpins with phoenix pattern in front, everyone could guess how precious these things were, and their eyes towards the Fairy of Flowers gradually became a little strange.
The Third Holy Mother's expression also became complicated.
It is true that she is a people-pleasing person, but she is not a fool.
Especially after Long Si pointed these out one by one, he also realized the trick.
Every time she didn't know what gift to give to the Fairy of Flowers in return, she would always hear some gossip.
She hadn't thought much about it before, but now it seemed that something was clearly wrong!
"snort!"
Fairy Baihua snorted coldly and said, "These things were given to me by my third sister voluntarily. I didn't steal them! I'm not as knowledgeable as you, Princess Long Si, and I don't know how precious they are. Is this also my fault?"
