Fire Captain

Bai Qian said firmly: "Zi Yang, since I have sworn to be with you for the rest of my life and never abandon you no matter what happens, I don't care who you are!"

Bai Ziyang laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

Bai Qian smiled and said, "Why should I fear death? I... I am just like that. Although I asked you to marry me because I wanted you to stay with me, we have been together for several months and we are already husband and wife... So, since we are husband and wife, I don't care whether you are a human or a monster. I will be with you, even if... you have done bad things and you have to pay for it with your life, I will pay for it with your life. Isn't that the worst that can happen?"

Bai Ziyang lowered his head and kissed Bai Qian's forehead and said, "Qian Qian, can you say it again?"

Bai Qian looked into Bai Ziyang's eyes and said, "In this world, no matter when or where, as long as you don't let me down, I will never abandon you."

Bai Ziyang smiled and said, "Qianqian, you always say that I am good at saying sweet words, but I didn't expect that the person who is best at saying sweet words is actually you!"

Bai Ziyang hugged Bai Qian tightly, and when he was very affectionate, Bai Qian suddenly said, "Ziyang, let's run away!"

Bai Ziyang chuckled and looked at Bai Qian and said, "No need to run away. I'm not the monster you mentioned, and I haven't done anything bad that requires my life to pay for it!"

Bai Qian asked curiously, "Huh?"

Bai Ziyang said: "I haven't finished what I was saying just now...Qianqian, are you thinking too much?"

Then Bai Ziyang told her about the power of the wild, saying that he, the demon god, was just a commander without troops and nothing special. When he talked about the battle with Li Yuan in the Wing Realm, he said, "It only took me one hour, but I didn't expect that the time in the Wing Realm is one day in the real world, which is one year in the human world. That's why I came back late!"

Bai Qian finally felt relieved and said, "That's good. I thought you felt bored staying in the mountains with me, so you got impatient and left me behind."

Bai Ziyang said: "How could it be... Since we are husband and wife, we will be husband and wife for the rest of our lives, Qianqian, you have to believe me!"

Bai Qian said: "Well... I believe you! It's because you asked me if I wanted to go down the mountain, and I thought..."

Bai Ziyang said, "I had a feeling that someone would come looking for us. The eldest prince of the Wing Clan, Li Yuan, was ruthless and reckless. I was afraid that they would hurt you, so I wanted to avoid them. I didn't expect that you would be so homesick and unwilling to go anywhere..."

Bai Qian said: "If you had told me earlier, it wouldn't have come to this."

Bai Ziyang said, "Okay, okay...it's all my fault...Qianqian, have you eaten well during the month I was away?"

Bai Qian lowered her head and said, "When I think of it, I eat some fruit, and some rice and flour you left behind... I was afraid that I would get lost in the woods and you wouldn't be able to find me when you came back, so I waited for you at home and didn't dare to go out."

Bai Ziyang picked up Bai Qian and walked into the house. He put her on the bed, covered her with a blanket and said, "You should have a good rest first. I will go make you some food."

Bai Qian lay obediently on the bed and looked at Bai Ziyang, reluctant to close her eyes.

When Bai Ziyang brought out the food, he saw Bai Qian sleeping soundly. He didn't want to wake her up, so he lay down beside her carefully.

When Bai Qian woke up in the evening, she found herself hugging Bai Ziyang tightly. Bai Ziyang smiled and said, "Are you awake, Qianqian?"

Bai Qian rubbed her eyes and said, "What did you do? It smells so good!"

Bai Ziyang helped Bai Qian up and said, "Hurry up and eat!" Bai Ziyang had been using his spiritual power to keep the food he had cooked warm, so it was no different from freshly cooked food.

During the meal, Bai Ziyang kept hesitating to speak, fearing that Bai Qian wouldn't be able to eat if he spoke, but also fearing that she wouldn't be able to accept it later if he didn't speak.

After dinner, Bai Qian looked at Bai Ziyang and asked, "Ziyang, do you have anything to say to me?"

Bai Ziyang said, "Yes, there is one thing... People from the Wing Clan have been here before, and I'm afraid the Sky Clan will send people here later."

Bai Qian immediately asked nervously, "Are they here to arrest you?"

Bai Ziyang smiled and said, "How could that be? They are afraid that I won't be able to make it in time... I'm afraid they are asking me to go to heaven to discuss matters."

Bai Qian asked, "How long will it take?"

Bai Ziyang said with embarrassment: "One day in heaven is one year on earth, so it may take at least one year!"

Bai Qian said: "One year? Do you know how long a year is?"

Bai Ziyang looked at Bai Qian in embarrassment.

Bai Qian lowered her head and said, "When I married you, I hoped that you would always be by my side. I didn't expect that after only half a year of good life, I would not see you for a whole year... It's okay... It's just a spring and an autumn anyway, I can wait... When are you leaving?"

Bai Ziyang said, "I'm afraid it will be soon!" He wiped away the tears from Bai Qian's eyes and said, "Qian Qian, you have only said that you want me to accompany you, but you still haven't said that you love me? ... Do you know that your tears are the best weapon against me? My heart melted when you cried!"

Bai Qian said, "Zi Yang, do you know that before you came, I lived alone on this mountain and didn't think anything of it? But now that we're married, don't keep me waiting for you. If I wait for too long, I'll get angry. I'm really afraid that by the time you remember to come back, I'll be old!"

Bai Ziyang said, "No..." and then he saw two more people suddenly appear in the yard outside the house.

Bai Qian also saw it, and suddenly tears fell like beads from a broken string as she said, "Are they here already?"

Bai Ziyang said: "Okay! I'll go say hello!" Then he let go of Bai Qian and walked towards the door.

Bai Qian suddenly hugged Bai Ziyang's waist from behind and said, "Ziyang... I love you!"

Bai Ziyang paused when he was about to open the door, turned around and hugged Bai Qian tightly.

One of the two people in the yard was Ye Hua, the prince of the Celestial Clan, and the other was Ye Hua’s third uncle Lian Song.

Lian Song looked at the two people inside and said to Ye Hua in disbelief: "Is the man in the room really the Demon God Zi Yang Shang Shen?"

Ye Hua said calmly, "Well, that should be what Emperor Donghua said!"

Lian Song stuttered, "That...that woman..."

Ye Hua said, "It's his wife."

Lian Song exclaimed, "What?"

The two people in the house ignored the uncle and nephew outside. Bai Qian said, "Why don't you take me with you this time!"

Bai Ziyang said: "No!"

Bai Qian asked: "Why not?"

Bai Ziyang said: "The gods in heaven are all a bunch of snobs. If you go there as a mortal, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand the gossip."

The uncle and nephew outside the house: “…………”

Bai Qian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought it was something else... I'm not afraid... I'm not afraid of mountains of swords and seas of fire. What I'm afraid of is not being able to be with you. I don't want to never know where you are? I don't know when you will come back. I really don't want to go on like this. You also said that you are so powerful. Are you still afraid that you can't protect me? Besides, we are husband and wife, and we should be together in good times and bad times!"

Bai Ziyang wiped the tears from Bai Qian's cheeks, sighed and said: "Qian Qian, if you want me to do something in the future, you don't have to ask, just shed a few tears, even if you want the stars in the sky, I can pick them for you!"

Bai Qian knew that he had agreed, so she chuckled and said, "What do I need the stars in the sky for? Did you agree?"

Bai Ziyang said helplessly: "I agree, I agree, whatever you say! You pack your things first!"

Bai Qian didn't have much to pack, so the first thing she had to do was to release the little sparrow she had kept in the cage: "I'm going on a long trip, so I can't feed you. If we're destined to meet again, we'll meet again in the future!"

Bai Ziyang came to the courtyard and said, "This must be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Ye Hua bowed and said, "I don't deserve it. I'm here to meet you, Your Majesty. This is my third uncle Lian Song!"

Bai Ziyang nodded and said, "Hello, Third Prince!"

Lian Song hurriedly said, "Hello, Lord God! We are here to invite you to the Heavenly Palace to discuss matters on behalf of my father."

Bai Ziyang said: "I've already thought of it, let's go later!"

Lian Song asked, "What else do you need?"

Bai Ziyang turned around and looked at Bai Qian as she walked over and said, "Of course, there is nothing missing!"

Lian Song looked at Bai Qian, raised his eyebrows and said, "What does this lady want to do...?"

Bai Ziyang said: "Of course you will go to the Heavenly Palace with me!"

Seeing that Lian Song wanted to say more, Ye Hua interrupted and said, "Third Uncle, let's go now!"

Bai Qian was led by Bai Ziyang to the Heavenly Palace. She followed behind Bai Ziyang a little stiffly. She wanted to look around but was too embarrassed to do so, so she could only glance around secretly.

Bai Ziyang found it funny, so he pulled her to his side, smiled soothingly and patted Bai Qian's head.

On the way to the Heavenly Palace, Bai Ziyang saw many immortals passing by and greeting the Third Prince and the Crown Prince. Because there was no introduction, the immortals did not want to greet Bai Ziyang. They just took a few glances and left. Bai Ziyang knew that the immortals were treating him like a giant panda. Maybe they had never seen a demon god and thought it was fun. The key point was that he had never seen a demon god either, and he was inexplicably treated as a rare species.

Besides, this heavenly palace really doesn't suit my aesthetic taste. Although it is located above the sea of ​​clouds, it is full of carved railings and painted buildings, golden mountains and jade pillars, jewels and precious stones. It doesn't have the feeling of the fairyland at all, but instead has a strong sense of nouveau riche style.

Bai Ziyang and Bai Qian were brought to the Heavenly Palace by the uncle and nephew, where they saw the Emperor of Heaven and Emperor Donghua waiting there.

When Emperor Donghua saw Bai Ziyang, he immediately smiled and said, "Since our last separation, I think it has been a hundred thousand years since I last saw Lord Ziyang!"

Bai Ziyang returned the greeting with a smile: "Isn't it... no problem, no problem!" At the same time he thought to himself: System, have I met him before?

System: "Nonsense, of course not. You were nowhere to be found 100,000 years ago... I showed him your beautiful photo when I was sketching the background... There must be someone who knows you, otherwise who would believe you are a demon god!"

Bai Ziyang hurriedly said, "After a hundred thousand years of separation, the Emperor is still as charming as ever!"

The Heavenly Emperor had never seen Bai Ziyang before. Now seeing that Emperor Donghua knew this man, it seemed that he was undoubtedly a demon god. He immediately looked at Bai Ziyang with shining eyes.

Instead, Bai Ziyang thought of a joke when he saw him. It said that the Jade Emperor's most common thing was to crawl under the table and shout: Go and ask for Buddha! Although there was no Sun Wukong in this world, this Heavenly Lord probably acted the same way. He would first find someone else to solve any problem. Bai Ziyang had always disliked him. This time, he was asked to come to the Heavenly Palace for no good reason. He must have something to ask him to help with.
