’Mountain and Sea Palace? She actually dares to meet her in the Mountain and Sea Palace! Does she really think she’s the mistress of this Taixuan Ancient Palace, the mistress of the entire Taixuan Demon Realm?’
Yan Ya walked behind the Demon Guard leading the way, barely maintaining a perfect smile and impeccable demeanor, but inside she was twisted and grotesque with anger and jealousy.
Taking a few deep breaths, Yan Ya raised her hand to adjust the floral ornaments in her hair and spoke casually, "Though the Princess is currently pregnant, she hasn’t married His Majesty yet. Living in the Mountain and Sea Palace like this, I’m afraid it will attract criticism and spoil her mood."
With that, she sighed twice, showing her concern.
These words, she said for the Demon Guard to hear. The Demon Guard was Si Mo’s personal guard, deeply trusted. As long as they became dissatisfied with Mu Qingge, if word reached Si Mo, it might sow discord between the two.
Yan Ya plotted in her heart, the smile on her lips growing more smug.
However, after she finished speaking, the Demon Guard leading the way acted as if he hadn’t heard anything, not giving the slightest response.
This caused Yan Ya to furrow her brows in frustration.
Forcing down her anger, she comforted herself, ’A bunch of lowly slaves, how dare they ignore me, the dignified Vassal Lord? When I become your mistress, I’ll teach you a good lesson!’
Repeatedly reassuring herself this way, Yan Ya’s mood improved considerably.
She raised her eyes, looking at the road leading to the Mountain and Sea Palace, her emotions swirling turbulently. ’His Majesty is hers, only hers! Since she first saw His Majesty, she had fallen in love. How can she tolerate an unknown woman taking everything that belongs to her?’
In her heart, she refused to believe that Mu Qingge, residing in the palace, was Si Mo’s beloved.
She would rather believe that she was merely a woman Gu Ya and Gu Ye found to placate Su Sheng and the others.
’No matter if you are his beloved or not, I won’t let you have it easy.’ Yan Ya thought viciously.
From outside the Zichen Palace to the gate of the Mountain and Sea Palace, the distance wasn’t far, yet also not close.
Yan Ya thought a lot, but summed up into one thing: she mustn’t let another woman take everything that belongs to her.
Yet, she forgot that these things never belonged to her!
...
The Mountain and Sea Palace is called so because within this magnificent palace is depicted a splendid Mountain and Sea Map.
It is said that the worlds depicted in these mountain and sea paintings represent the landscapes of the Three Thousand Worlds and the Billions of Mortal Realms. In the Mountain and Sea Palace, there are over a billion unique and exquisite, wondrous Mountain and Sea Maps.
Mu Qingge was also taken aback the first time she stepped inside.
No one knows how much effort went into these Mountain and Sea Maps or how long they took to create. As she slowly admired them, a question arose in her mind, ’Did the person who painted these Mountain and Sea Maps truly travel through the Three Thousand Worlds and the Billions of Mortal Realms?’
Moreover, her former homeland, that blue planet, could it be found here?
"The Mountain and Sea Maps in the Mountain and Sea Palace were all personally painted by the first generation King." Gu Ya explained as Mu Qingge seemed very interested. "Legend has it that the first generation King of the Taixuan Demon Realm, after unifying the Demon Realm, created the Taixuan Ancient Palace. Initially, this Mountain and Sea Palace was not called the Mountain and Sea Palace, but later on, he met a woman who loved traveling. Though the two fell deeply in love, she was unwilling to come to the Taixuan Ancient Palace and waste away in this place. The Primordial Monarch spent tens of thousands of years traveling through the realms with her. Afterwards, he spent another tens of thousands of years painting the scenes from the places they visited that she loved, and renamed this palace the Mountain and Sea Palace. After the final Mountain and Sea Map was painted, he proposed to her. Greatly moved, she finally agreed to live in the Mountain and Sea Palace. However, one day before the wedding, the woman suddenly disappeared. The Primordial Monarch went mad, sending countless Demon Soldiers in search of her everywhere. A hundred years later, for unknown reasons, he passed the throne to his brother and vanished. For hundreds of thousands of years, no one knows his whereabouts, nor whether he has fallen. This Mountain and Sea Palace was left behind and became the highest honor in the hearts of the women of the Demon Realm, representing the love and affection of every King for his Princess."
The story wasn’t very long.
But Mu Qingge could sense the profoundness within it.
She didn’t chase after the story of the Demon Clan’s Primordial Monarch and the woman because she knew that regardless of the story, the Mountain and Sea Palace left behind was a testament to their love.
Mu Qingge glanced around and said to Gu Ya and Gu Ye, "Your Demon Clan’s Kings, they are all romantic souls."
"Not all of them, the last King wasn’t," Gu Ya muttered.
But Gu Ye nudged him in secret to make him stop talking.
Mu Qingge heard and smiled faintly without probing further. When Si Mo took her to Luoxing City, he had told her a story. Then, she guessed that the person in that story was his mother, and he was the true Young Master of Luoxing City.
Now, Gu Ya’s inadvertent words confirmed her guess.
Mu Qingge’s gaze landed on the decorations of the Mountain and Sea Palace, and she suddenly asked, "How long has it been since there was a mistress in the Mountain and Sea Palace?"
"At least over a hundred thousand years, during the previous King’s reign, no one was allowed to stay here," Gu Ye quickly explained.
Mu Qingge raised her eyebrows; the answer surprised her.
...
’Mountain and Sea Palace! Mountain and Sea Palace! This is the place all the women of the Demon Realm dream of coming and becoming its mistress!’
Yan Ya raised her chin, looking at the imposing, splendid palace, her heartbeat quickening.
