Longevity begins with a negative heart

Chapter 34 Unless I Die
When the food was served, neither of them could eat it because the rice was burnt, the vegetables were too salty, and the meat was undercooked.

Lingze put away the bowl and washed it. He turned his back to her and said, "One thing is that my ability to give rain is innate and irreplaceable. I can't watch so many living beings die because of me."

Shu Hua was already prepared, she said hoarsely: "Are you going back to be a divine king?"

Lingze said softly: "I'm sorry."

He didn't explain too much, and Shuhua didn't ask too much. She already knew that she was born as a god and had his own vocation. How could a god who specializes in rainwater not do something even if he said he didn't want to do it?

With thousands of creatures from both worlds in front of her, she couldn't even ask him why his words didn't count.He clearly said that he would no longer be a divine king.

She stood up and smiled: "Okay, I'll see you off."

"You and I are husband and wife, and we should be together. From now on, you will be the mistress of Yunzhong Palace." Lingze did not look at her, but held her hand tightly.

Shuhua refused: "I won't go with you. I want to stay here. I don't like Shangqing Realm or Yunzhong Palace."

Lingze pursed his lips tightly and took her directly back to the upper realm.

The Immortal Gate opened wide, and countless immortal clans lined up to welcome him. The Immortal Emperor headed by him smiled happily: "Congratulations to the Lord God for returning after all the calamity."

Lingze returned the gift, pushed her in front of him, held her shoulders tightly, and said solemnly: "I have married Shuhua, and she will be the mistress of Yunzhong Palace from now on."

Countless pairs of eyes looked at Shuhua with jealousy, ridicule, contempt, disapproval, and all the malice that should be expected, but there was no blessing or joy.

How could a human cultivator from the mortal realm, not even a true immortal, be able to marry a divine king and become the mistress of Yunzhong Palace!

Shuhua's whole body was chilled, but she was naturally arrogant. She just stood upright in front of others with a smile, and greeted the people dignifiedly. There was no mistake in her actions.

The Immortal Emperor had a warm attitude. He first congratulated her, gave her treasures, and then said some words asking her to serve Lingze with all her heart, manage Yunzhong Palace well, and seek welfare for the three realms.

Returning to Yunzhong Palace, the servants came up to them and asked how to arrange her and Lingze's bedroom.

Lingze said calmly: "Madam lives in the main hall, and I live in the front hall."

Originally, most powerful couples in the Shangqing Realm had their own residences, and would live in the same room when necessary.

But it is always the case that the male owner lives in the main house and the female owner lives in the backyard.

Lingze's arrangement was a little strange. The servants didn't dare to ask more questions, but Shuhua felt something was different.

Let her live in the main hall to prevent others from treating her coldly and despising her, and also to make up for her shortcomings.

She asked softly: "Husband, don't you live with me?"

Lingze said calmly: "No, I haven't returned for several years, and my official duties are piling up. The three realms are in urgent need of rain. I have to go and provide rain."

She didn't even have the position to save him, so she could only weakly let go of her hand and watch him leave.

She thought, it would be nice if he could even look back at her.

But he didn't.

It seemed that she was really just his chance encounter and responsibility during the calamity.

The Fairy Queen chatted with her privately: "Lingze was born with the responsibility of being the rainwater of the three realms. As a god, his love is ruthless. Once his selfish thoughts overwhelm his love, he will become a demon.

If he goes to the Netherworld to find you, he will fall into the devil's tribulation.For this reason, there is a severe drought in the three realms, the red land is thousands of miles away, and the upper clear realm is inhabited by the immortals. The lack of rain is nothing.But the two lower realms are different. Creatures are fragile and cannot survive without water.

You come from the Nanshan Road in the realm of mountains and seas, which has been suffering from drought. You should know this kind of hardship.

Lingze brings you back and gives you status, which means he is responsible for you.He has never treated anyone like this in tens of thousands of years, so you should be content.

You have always been sensible, and you should know how to be the mistress of Yunzhong Palace without adding any burden to him.I hope you will grow old together for a long time. "

Shuhua didn't want this superficial hollowness to last forever.She held the exquisite crystal ball and looked at the two intertwined concentric trees inside, and couldn't sleep all night long.

There are some things and people that you won’t think about so much before you get them. Once you get them, it’s hard to let them go easily.

She didn't understand that since he had her in his heart, even if he had a priestly position, he wouldn't treat her so coldly, right?
Day after day, year after year, she did not wait for him to enter her residence, nor did she wait for him to look back.

He never mentioned how to cure her strange illness that prevented her from being intimate, and of course, there was no need for it.

When they meet during the Chinese New Year or her birthday, he only gives her cultivation secrets and elixirs, and never gives her any personal belongings.

Shuhua misses the hair flowers, rouge and gouache in the small market town at the foot of Huanglian Mountain very much. Although they are crude, they are his heart. Unfortunately, they will never be available again.

She practiced crazily and finally broke through the most critical threshold between humans and immortals. She was promoted from transcending tribulations to true immortals and could live forever.

She thought she was finally getting closer to God, but that day, the concentric tree belonging to Lingze died.

In other words, the Divine Lord has completely returned to his true nature and no longer has any personal feelings.

Shuhua sat guarding the exquisite crystal ball for a long time, and finally confirmed that the gods were indeed beyond her imagination.

She wrote the book of separation.

"Why are you looking for me?" Lingze ordered the attendant to set up a table for her and arrange tea and snacks.

Shuhua liked the pattern of the mats and the taste of the food, and did not despise or ignore them at all, but she could clearly feel the coldness.

She solemnly said: "I have come to ask my husband to live with me."

Lingze was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "I am busy with official duties, so this is a lot of inconvenience."

Shuhua smiled and said: "In the three realms, there are rare couples like you and me. Even if they are as cold as the Immortal Emperor and Immortal Queen, they will still pretend to be on the 15th day of the lunar month. The Immortal Emperor is also very busy."

Lingze suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her. After a long moment, he said, "Is someone making you angry? Or are you unhappy somewhere? Tell me and I will handle it properly."

"So, Shenjun refuses. A marriage with the wrong family is a mistake in itself. You said before that I can regret it at any time. Now that I regret it, let's make peace."

Shuhua naturally pushed the He Li Shu in front of him: "I came here alone and empty-handed, and there is nothing to explain separately. You sign and seal it, and I will leave on my own."

Lingze's calm expression finally cracked. He tore He Li's book into pieces and said firmly: "We are bound by the same heart for a lifetime. I will not agree to He Li. There is no such precedent in Xianting."

"Concentric agreement?" Shuhua couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Even if the Concentric Tree is dead, does it still count?"

"The Tongxin Tree is dead?" Lingze was even more shocked and immediately summoned the exquisite crystal ball.

Looking at the dead concentric tree, he was silent for a long time and then said solemnly: "I will never agree."

"Why?" Shuhua didn't understand. Since there is no more love, why would he still refuse to let go?

"There is no such precedent in Xianting!" Lingze refused to look at her and loudly ordered the attendant: "Send Madam back!"

Shuhua was determined not to leave. She grabbed Lingze's hand, trying to force him to sign and seal: "You said I could regret it. You said you would never force me!"

Lingze's expression was as severe as ever before. He grabbed her hand, pressed her on the desk, leaned over and looked at her, and said word by word: "I will never agree unless..."

Shuhua pressed him and asked, "Unless what?"

He looked into her eyes and said slowly: "Unless I die."

He was getting closer and closer to her, so close that his breath was intertwined, so close that Shuhua had unbearable chest pain and fainted.
