Celestial Emperor Grants Marriage, A Jealous Lucky Star Appears

As soon as those words were spoken, the gods suddenly found new meaning in the Divination Hexagram.

So the real logic is—the Celestial Emperor grants a marriage, and it attracts one very jealous lucky star...

"This humble girl knows that Crown Prince Evan Xiao does not wish to marry High Goddess Sophie Shang. In my heart, I only wish for His Highness's peace and happiness, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to issue another divine decree to annul their engagement."

All the gods thought this girl was quite the smooth talker.

Clearly, she just doesn't want the Crown Prince to marry someone else, but insists it's all for his sake...

Evan Xiao, hearing this, shot Grace a glance.

His gaze was a little unfriendly, but definitely alluring.

Grace kept her composure, looking straight ahead with righteous dignity, her eyes full of hope as she gazed at the Celestial Emperor.

"Well..." The Celestial Emperor was genuinely troubled.

He'd lived for tens of thousands of years, and never had to go back on his word like this before.

Besides, Priestess Sun Drake has served him loyally for years—he can't just embarrass her like this...

"Celestial Emperor!" Suddenly, a cold, stern voice called out.

It was Sophie Shang who spoke.

"Does High Goddess Sophie Shang have something to say?" asked the Celestial Emperor.

"This whole thing is highly suspicious. I ask the Celestial Emperor and Celestial Empress to judge wisely," Sophie said.

"Suspicious? What's suspicious about it?" The Celestial Emperor looked at Grace, who was all soft and angelic—he really couldn't see anything suspicious.

"None of us gods in Drake Abyss knew about the Fiend! How did she, a mere Spirit Medium, know?" Sophie Shang glared coldly at Grace. "I suspect Chloe Zhu is just putting on a show today to win everyone's trust! Who knows, maybe she's the real Fiend!"

"Sophie, you can mess around with medicine, but you can't mess around with words!" Rina Chu, who'd been watching the drama under the tree, suddenly chimed in. "I say you're the Fiend! Your whole family, eighteen generations back, are Fiends! Someone ought to wipe your clan off the map!"

Sophie shot her a glare, then pressed Grace even harder: "Then tell us—how did you discover the Fiend?"

All the gods watched the two women. This love triangle drama was seriously entertaining.

"Yeah! How did you discover the Fiend?" the Celestial Empress asked too.

Grace replied, "Compared to all the gods, my cultivation really isn't worth mentioning! But, I do have a talent no one else has."

"What talent?" the Celestial Emperor asked, curious.

"I can communicate with the King's Spirit Tree!" Grace announced. "The reason I knew the Fiend was inside the King's Spirit Tree, and that the Nine Divine Waters dried up because of the King Tree, is simple—the King Tree told me itself!"

"What? Someone can actually talk to the King's Spirit Tree?"

"That's just unbelievable!"

"I've never heard of such a thing!"

...

A bunch of the younger gods were totally stunned.

But the more experienced ones looked at Grace with new eyes.

"During the ancient Fiend invasion, there was a Spirit Medium who could communicate with the King's Spirit Tree," said the Celestial Emperor. "Could it be... you're a Spirit Medium?"

Grace scratched her head and said, "I don't know, honestly. I don't even know why I can talk to the Spirit Tree. When I touch its trunk, I just feel the messages it sends me..."

"Your Majesty! She must be a Spirit Medium!" the Azure Dragon Lord suddenly exclaimed. "The ancient books say only Spirit Mediums can communicate with the King's Spirit Tree!"

Another Dragon Lord added, "If a Spirit Medium has appeared, does that mean... the Fiend is coming back? We'd better get ready!"
