The paramount god of the Ghost Tribe, Patriarch Zhu Yin, had been dumped?!
Ptui! That wasn’t the point! The point was, his cultivation base had dropped because he was dumped?
An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and Tina felt like this was absurd.
They stared blankly at the purple-robed man. They were at a complete loss for words.
Ding Xiaoru didn’t seem to be surprised at their reactions. After all, many mighty figures wore the same expression upon hearing this. In fact, some of them reacted even more vehemently.
The purple-robed man heaved a faint, resigned sigh. “Being dumped is quite embarrassing, and I shouldn’t be telling people about this…”
An Lin was perplexed. “You’re a God of Creation! How could your cultivation base just drop from being dumped? It doesn’t make any sense…”
Ding Xiaoru shook his head with a pitiable expression. “If you knew about my relationship history, you wouldn’t think like that.”
An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and Tina all turned their expectant eyes upon Ding Xiaoru, as if to say, “Please begin your address, oh great one.”
Ding Xiaoru began his story by saying, “I am the monarch of the Land of Extreme Darkness and can transform into countless forms. I have a snake form with a human head, a dragon form with a human head, a dark fire ghost form… Those are only the forms that I am most often seen in, but those are not the forms I like…”
A thought occurred to An Lin as he looked at the man standing before him. “Could it be that you prefer your human form the most? Have you fallen in love with a human woman?”
Ding Xiaoru nodded before shaking his head. “I do prefer my human form above all others, but I haven’t fallen in love with a human woman. I fell in love with a female ghost instead.”
An Lin: “…”
He was the paramount god of the Ghost Tribe, so that made sense!
“That was a moonless night with howling winds…” A reminiscent expression appeared on Ding Xiaoru’s face, and he seemed to be in pain. However, he also seemed to be happy as he recounted his story.
“So on so forth, so on so forth!”
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were brought to the point of tears.
Tina was already sobbing. “It’s such a moving story!”
“I didn’t think that I would fall in love with a ghost. I am the paramount god of the Ghost Tribe, and I am different from normal living beings. However, she was so unique, and I was caught completely off guard. Before I knew it, I had completely fallen for her to the point of no return…
“Li Yiyin was her name, and she progressed to the Return to Void Stage, thereby giving her a lifespan of over a million years, and she appeared before me in her human form. Naturally, I also appeared in my human form to love her and stay with her.”
Ding Xiaoru continued, “You have no idea how deeply I was in love with her. I’m a God of Creation, and the Glazed Underworld is the world I have created. Everything I created in that world was for her!
“All of the flora and fauna had all been created based on her ideas and preferences. Everything had a part of her in it. This is my world, as well as her world…
“I thought we would keep loving each other like this until the end of eternity…”
A painful expression appeared on the purple-robed man’s face as he spoke.
An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and Tina stirred upon hearing this. The crux of the story was coming up!
“It was another moonless night with howling winds…” Ding Xiaoru continued.
An Lin’s lips twitched. The Opposite Shore Realm had no sun and dark winds were always blowing, so this was a massive understatement. Why did he keep using this description? Was it supposed to be romantic?
Even though he was quite disgruntled, he still listened patiently.
“Li Yiyin and I were strolling through this sea of flowers when a woman in a colorful dress suddenly descended from the sky.
“I have to admit that she was extremely beautiful. No matter how you looked at her, she was like a flawless, artistic masterpiece. No matter what species you were, no one could be immune to her beauty…
“Perhaps it’s because I had been in my human form for so long, but I was entranced when I saw her. Of course, this was the kind of entrancement one was struck with when looking at a beautiful painting or some glorious scenery. It had nothing to do with a romantic interest,” Ding Xiaoru explained.
“And then what happened? Did you pursue her instead?” An Lin asked.
He could already envision the storyline of him cheating on Li Yiyin with that exquisitely beautiful Celestial Maiden, only to have Li Yiyin find out and leave him from heartbreak. After that, he would come to the realization that Li Yiyin was his one true love, and he would be racked with guilt and remorse over what he had done.
Ding Xiaoru became even more disconsolate. “I was entranced, but I didn’t think that Li Yiyin would be even more entranced! I was only visually entranced, but her entire being was entranced by that woman!”
An Lin: “???”
Xu Xiaolan and Tina: “…”
What the hell was going on? This wasn’t how the story was supposed to go!
Ding Xiaoru’s hands clenched into fists with aggravation and resignation on his face. “That woman said that she had come to the Opposite Shore Realm to observe the laws of heaven and earth here in order to further her cultivation. I didn’t think too much of it. She was a guest from afar, so I gave her the hospitality she deserved and allowed her to stay with us for a few days.
“In order to ensure Yiyin didn’t get jealous, I tried to minimize my interaction with her. Thus, during those few days, Yiyin was the one who was constantly with her, and they had become like sisters in no time…
“I didn’t suspect anything at that point. In fact, I was happy that Yiyin had found a new friend.
“Until one day, until one day…”
Ding Xiaoru’s entire body trembled as if he was recollecting some sort of nightmare.
An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and Tina became anxious upon seeing this.
“This was yet another moonless night with howling winds…
“I hunted down a rare beast, so I came back early, and I saw… I saw… Yiyin and her making out in the sea of flowers…
“I was completely dumbstruck at that time! My mind had gone blank!”
An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and Tina’s minds had also gone blank.
Cucked! Patriarch Zhu Yin had been cucked! AND he had been cucked by a woman!!!
Everyone’s heart surged with unprecedented shock. They had thought Patriarch Zhu Yin’s cultivation base dropping due to him being dumped was already a piece of astonishing news, but this piece of news was on a whole new level!
Ding Xiaoru grabbed fistfuls of his own hair with an expression of agony on his face. “I rushed over to Yiyin like a madman, asking them what they were doing. I couldn’t believe it, and I refused to believe that Yiyin would do this to me!
“However, Yiyin told me in a very justified manner that this was her choice, that every living being should be the truest version of themselves. She told me she had fallen in love with that woman and that she was past the point of no reason. She said that it would be disrespectful to keep lying to me, and after that, she just kept on apologizing…
“Meanwhile, that other woman was spouting some nonsense about how heterosexual relationships were clouded by reproductive instincts, and only homosexual relationships were the purest kind of love.
“Ah… F*ck her and her pure love! I really wanted to rip her to shreds there and then!!!”
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were both astonished. What a brave woman!
“Forgive me for being rude, Senior, but may I ask you who that woman was?” An Lin asked.
Ding Xiaoru replied with a furious expression, “She is the Moon Palace Leader, Chang’e!”
Xu Xiaolan and Tina were astonished.
An Lin was enlightened.
