Just Because I'm Not An Ordinary Girl

Chapter 20 - Punishment and Official Announcement

As Donghua appeared in front of the court building he felt his heart being at ease all of sudden. The feeling to him was like a relief of pain and burden. A warm fuzzy feeling rises from the bottom of his heart but he can't make it out why he is feeling this. He should be extremely angry right now but he is not. But the thought of what happened earlier flashes back in his mind the rage just busted out again. He sends a force of wind right at the doors, they fly open, smashing at the wall and breaking into millions of pieces. "KAAABOOOOOOOM!" The sound of the doors smashing against the wall was a really loud thundering sound and it echoes throughout the whole court hall for several minutes.

As Donghua walks in majestically, he has a purplish crimson aura surrounding him. This aura was hardly seen by anyone before only in the ancient and primitive times. During the endless wars, a few lucky gods that are still alive saw it once. Other than them Fengjiu was the only lucky one when Zhiyue threw her into the pagoda and he came to her rescue. But now everyone in Nine Heaven is in fear after seeing this scene in front of them. As he walks over to his seat just right under Tianjun's throne his eyes fall upon Zhihe. His eyes are dark and cold that send shivers to anyone that looks straight into his. Zhihe who is all tied up in an immortal restraint strap kneeling in the middle of the court hall with tears continuously flowing down her cheeks. Her robes were stained in blood from the wounds all over her body and some were from when she vomited out after each throw to the wall.

No one has ever seen Donghua Dijun reprimanding his foster sister before or even physically punishing a female immortal ever. There were gossips throughout the whole court hall, some were wondering why this emergency court was being held. Others were gossiping if it was true that Dijun had bedded a girl since there are rumours that he once vowed celibacy and became a cold-hearted monk.

Some of these immortals didn't have the chance to witness the whole scene in TaiChen Palace and only can use their imagination after hearing the gossip. But the hall fell silent, once Donghua crushes the teacup in his hand. The teacup was crushed into millions of tiny pieces, falling from his hands on to the table. Now no one dares to even make a single sound throughout the whole court hall. Everyone was silent, watching for Donghua to make the first move or say the first word, but he just stares deadly at Zhihe.

Haode was brave enough to make the first move since curiosity is killing him within. "Dijun, may I ask, what was the urgent matter that had you calling for this emergency court session?" Tianjun cautiously asks. Donghua was waiting for Haode to make this move, he knows that Haode can't bite his tongue any much longer. "Tianjun, what is the punishment for an immortal harming any maid in Nine Heaven?" Donghua asks in a cold stern voice while his eyes focus on the new teacup in his hand. "The immortal should be punished to sixty mortal years' trial." Tianjun replies cautiously while eyeing Zhihe in the middle of the court hall. "This is her foster sister, he can't really punish her or hurt her like this... right? Or is he using this to refer to something else..." Haode silently thought to himself.

"Good, what is the punishment of an immortal spreading despicable foulness scandalous rumours of a royal member of another clan?" Donghua continues to ask while placing his cup down on his table making a loud clinging sound. "If this rumour would destroy two clans' peace, the immortal has to face the six hundred heavenly thunderbolts, to show the other clan our sincerity on mending the broken relationship." Tianjun replies, worrying if this news was true. He worries that if there is a broken relationship with any clan, it will bring endless wars to the peace they have now. "Which clan did this stupid brat went to mess with now. Even Dijun can't even protect her anymore, it must be one of the powerful clans. I need to get to the bottom of this at once. I can't afford to start a war with the Demon or Ghost clans again. The last wars with them already cost us severely! " Haode says in his old and worried mind.
