Qinglian’S Heart Is Covered, Fate Meets Chapter 17
byChapter 17
The childish words on the lotus platform, the gentleness of the demon king
After Xun’er had the opportunity to hand over the lotus cake, Bai Qiu became a “rare guest” on the lotus platform. Although he still had the coldness and hardness of the demons, he was no longer tense. He would occasionally bring some spiritual fruits from the demon realm to the son of God, and a jade pendant with a lotus pattern unique to the demon realm for Xun’er.
This day coincides with the Lotus Flower Ceremony held once every millennium at the lotus pond. All the children are busy beside the lotus pond – Shi’an adjusts the newly made lotus flute, Wuyu wipes the sword that has tempered the lotus light, Pianhong sorts out the ancient books recording the lotus ceremony, and Xun’er leads Shenzi and his younger siblings to weave lotus lanterns.Bai Qiu came early and saw the Son of God standing on tiptoes to reach the lotus flowers in the lotus pond. He subconsciously raised his hand and condensed a magic light to hold the flower stem and help him pick it off.
The Son of God held the lotus in his hand and looked up at him: “Uncle’s magic light can also protect the lotus?” Bai Qiu’er’s ears were slightly warm and he said awkwardly: “It’s just convenient.” Xun’er happened to see this scene and smiled and handed him the newly made lotus lantern: “Uncle, come hang one tooUse the lotus lantern, make a wish, and the Lotus Fairy Queen will bless you.” Bai Qiu looked at the purple lotus pattern on the lantern, and after a moment of silence, he actually hung the lantern on the old locust tree on the lotus platform. No one knew what he wished for, but the demonic aura on his fingertips was a little lighter.
At night during the grand ceremony, thousands of lotus lanterns floated above the lotus pond. The Purple Lotus Empress and Bai Fei stood in the center of the lotus platform, accepting the worship of the immortals and their children.The Son of God suddenly pulled the corner of Bai Qiu’s clothes and gave him an amulet he made with lotus pistils: “Uncle, please be good and don’t be angry all the time. Dad said being angry easily hurts the mind.” Bai Qiu clenched the amulet with lotus fragrance.Looking at the lotus lanterns in the pond and the two people hugging each other, the obsession in his heart completely dissipated – it turned out that there was some fate that did not belong to him, and protecting this perfection could actually give him some peace.
Late at night, Empress Zilian leaned on Bai Fei’s shoulder, looked at the lonely magic palace lotus lantern on the locust tree, and said softly: “He finally realized it.” Bai Fei nodded, and covered her hand with his palm: “You and I are here, and the children are here.No one can break the stability of the world.” Shenzi and Xun’er were nestling not far away, listening to Ming Yi telling old stories about reincarnation. The lotus fragrance spread over the lotus platform, wrapping the courtyard with childish words and warmth, becoming the gentlest footnote in the ages.
