"Solve all of my problems?"

"Yeah, your life is currently in your hands. Nobody else can take it, including the Devil God. But it's up to you. Do you want to be the Devil God, or take risks and be like this?"

"My hands..."

"Think good about it, when you are sure, we are coming again in your dream."

And they disappeared. "Goddess? Devil Goddess?"

I woke up.

"Hui Ying! Are you okay? You started sweating! Did something happen?" Zixuan asked.

"No, no I am okay. How is the Heavenly emperor and Li Jie?" Oh yeah forgot. I should've asked that to Zixuan too.

"No worries. The monk deleted his memories when that happened. The same with the Heavenly emperor."

"How is his injuries?"

"No worries, a sweet lady is treating him."

"Okay, good...oh yeah how are you?"

"No worries about me, I have here a lady that accompanies me." He smiled. He was talking about me...

"Can I visit Li Jie?" I asked.

"Sure, go ahead." And I walked away.

I saw him lying down without clothes, and that girl was doing acupunture. She's really lucky...

"Who's there?!" She said. And I quickly runned away.


"And? Why did you go back so early?" said Zixuan.

"That girl was doing acupunture. I won't disturb them..."

"Are you sure that that was acupunture? What if they are making out...?~" 

"Zixuan, you-"

"Just joking, don't put it in your heart Hui Ying. Anyway, I am feeling better. Wait a second." He looked deep in my soul.

"W-what are you doing Zixuan?"

"You are hiding something from me."

"What? No..."

"You can't lie to me. I know what you dreamed." Shoot! Did he already know that I have a Goddess and a Devil Goddess in my heart? Did he know what they talked about? Shoot shooot shoot...

"Ehem.."

"You dreamed about Li Jie and you kissing on a boat!" ...well. That's ..better then knowing about the Goddesses.

"Yes! Exactly- I mean. How did you know?"

"You are lying Hui Ying." He walked to the door and closed it. "Hui Ying, you can't lie to me. I know what you have dreamed. About those two Goddesses, am I right?" I was getting scared. He started sealing the door, and he knows too much over me. He can't continue like this, if he announces that I am the Devil God...

"Don't be scared Hui Ying, I am not this scary. I just know too much, I cannot do anything about this. And don't worry, your secret is safe with me. I promise."

I still didn't believe him. He is..the son of the Ancestral God.

"Hui Ying..you don't believe me?" I think I should believe him. Only him.

"I do." 


-The next day-

I was walking around Heavenly palace with Zixuan. Then I saw Li Jie walking with the exact same girl that healed her.

"Oh Hui Ying, Zixuan, this is Chuntao." Chuntao=*peachblossom (春桃)

"I see. Did you found a girlfriend?" I said, jealousy.

"Eh? Hui Ying? Are you jealous?" He said.

"Ofcourse not. I am just happy for you." I sounded angry.

"I can hear that in your voice, don't lie."

"Li Jie, we have to go." Chuntao said.

"Why? I just wanted to chat a little bit."

"Don't forget what you promised me, Li Jie. So come with me." Promised? Did Li Jie promised something to Chuntao?

"I know what you are thinking Hui Ying. I do think they are really suspicious."

"Stop reading my mind! Why can't you just...just read Chuntao's mind!"

"That's the problem. I can't read her mind. She could be a demon or devil. But Li Jie won't believe me."

"Demon..."
