The useless second daughter of the Hua family

Chapter 208 Antecedents

Back then, Lingxi teased the matchmaker Hongchou at a cocktail party. Hongchou was so angry that she accidentally cast the spell of word spirit on her, thus tying Lingxi's marriage to the peach tree in the valley that had not yet taken shape.

Hongchou was terrified and hurried to Siming for help. Unfortunately, time was running out, and before they could come up with a good solution to the problem, worse news came: Lingxi had forged a godhood for the peach tree after getting drunk, which angered the heaven and he was demoted to the lower world to be punished!

At this point, Siming could only reluctantly act selfishly. He decided to help Hongchou cover up the matter, thinking that as long as he took better care of Lingxi during her time on earth, there shouldn't be too much trouble.

However, the truth will eventually come out, and the relationship between Taoyao and Lingxi will be discovered by others sooner or later. So Siming came up with a plan, taking advantage of Huayao's missed opportunity to instigate Taoyao to go down to the mortal world. He was looking forward to bringing the two together and letting them come together naturally, so as not to arouse others' suspicion.

Originally, everything went smoothly according to Siming's plan, but no one expected that the place where Hua Yao died would inexplicably become the Soul Devouring Cliff. Then, the resentment backfired, Lingxi jumped off the cliff, and the tribulation failed. Everything happened so fast that he was caught off guard.

Things had developed to this point, and he could no longer hide it. The pursuers from heaven soon arrived, and he and Hongchou were punished to go down to the mortal world. As long as Lingxi did not return, they would suffer from loneliness and premature death for generations to come.

During these long three hundred years, he experienced countless reincarnations, and each time he met Hongchou and fell in love with her, but in the end it always ended in tragedy. Every time he experienced death, the memories of past lives would surge into his mind like a tide, accumulating into heavy psychological trauma.

Finally, after going through countless hardships, he returned to heaven, and he secretly wondered whether Lingxi had returned.

Siming stood there, telling the story of the past word by word. The sadness on his face did not diminish at all, as if he was still immersed in those painful memories.

Lingxi and Taoyao looked at each other silently, with complicated emotions in their hearts, not knowing whether they should sympathize more with themselves or with Siming.

"So that's how it is..." Lingxi murmured softly, with a hint of loss in his eyes.

Tao Yao did not notice Lingxi's abnormality. He looked at Siming and asked, "Is the Red Silk Fairy back?"

Siming took a deep breath, a nervous look on his face, and said slowly: "He should be back. This incident was all caused by me. If the God wants to investigate the responsibility, please let Hongchou go."

However, before he finished his words, a dazzling light suddenly flashed across the sky.

"Everyone has his own consequences. There's no need for you to plead for me." Along with a clear voice, a fairy in a pink dress appeared in front of everyone.

Siming's expression instantly became solemn. He frowned and scolded in a low voice: "Nonsense! How can you be so rude in front of the God? Get out of here!"

Hongchou raised her eyebrows indifferently and said sarcastically, "Why? You still think you are the emperor of the world? You are too deep into the role."

Pi Fu looked at the fairy who suddenly appeared with curiosity, and an indescribable sense of familiarity surged in her heart. She couldn't help but lean close to Bai Lin's ear and whispered: "Why do I feel like I have seen this fairy somewhere before?"

Bai Lin smiled at Pi Fu and replied softly, "When immortals descend to the mortal world to experience tribulations, they usually don't use their true form, so their appearance will change more or less. You might as well take a closer look at Siming, and you may find him familiar."

After hearing this, Pi Fu turned to look at Siming. At first, she didn't think there was anything unusual, but when she looked at the two of them together, she suddenly understood.

"It's them!" Pi Fu shouted in surprise.
