When he first met her, he thought that she was just a chess piece, but he didn't know that she was actually the bane of his life.

He was the pride and hope of the Qilin clan.

Ever since he was young, his mother had always said this to him, "Ah Hao, your mother only has you now. You absolutely cannot disappoint her."

In comparison, his father, the emperor, always treated his only son coldly and estranged — the Celestial Emperor, although he had already been the sovereign of the Celestial Realm for tens of thousands of years, he was still busy taking in races and pacifying territories. Very rarely was he able to stop and stay in the palace.

As the crown prince with the noblest status in the Immortal World, he needed Master to learn too many things from the deities, so much that he didn't have the time to think about it.

Because of his status, Di Hao had almost no friends by his side. The only one was that he had obtained the permission of his Imperial Mother, which was why he was able to get close to his crown prince of the dragon clan, the supreme dragon emperor of the dragon clan, after being missing for so many years.

As time passed, when Sovereign Hao had grown up to be a Crown Prince who could stand on his own two feet, the Celestial Emperor seemed to have begun to look up to this direct son of his and began to hand over many government tasks to him. After thousands of years, Di Hao felt that he didn't even have the chance to catch his breath. The number of Immortal soldiers and Immortal soldiers loyal to him was simply too little. Even after multiple battles, he still felt powerless.

Coincidentally, the Crown Prince of the Dragon King had recommended a dragon girl to him. He said that she possessed unfathomable divine powers, but her mind was simple and her soul was incomplete, making her easy to control. After thinking for a long time, he finally agreed to meet her.

However, he had never thought that this time, he would be deeply immersed in it.

Regardless of whether the sun moved or the stars shifted, or whether the sea dried up and turned to rubble, he still remembered that first meeting very clearly.

The Dragon Palace of the West Sea was the most luxurious place in the four seas. On the roof of the crystal palace, there were countless luminous pearls, which were used to decorate the immortal realms' distinguished guests. Even though the palace didn't light any fireworks, it was still as bright as day.

As soon as Emperor Hao entered the hall, the Dragon Emperor deliberately led him to meet that dragon woman. She had long black ink hair, and wore extremely simple green clothes. Her face was slightly pale, but there was a pair of extremely intelligent eyes.

She just sat there quietly, using her curious eyes to size up the surroundings. Di Hao only took a glance and already felt that his cold mind was being heavily hit by some kind of sharp weapon. Some unspeakable things started to slowly flow out, and slowly seeped into his limbs and bones.

He walked forward and looked at her face, which was originally somewhat still. However, because of the smile slowly rising from the corner of his mouth, it became extremely bright.

At that moment, all the steps he had discussed with the Dragon King had been thrown to the back of his mind. The usually cold, arrogant and female Crown Prince of the Immortal Realm seemed to have been bewitched.

"Hua, are you willing to go with This Sovereign?"

Di Hao brought Long Lin and Hua back to the Immortal World unperturbed.

After the Heavenly Queen found out, she went out to talk to him for a long time. As for Di Hao, he didn't need to hide his real plan from his mother. After explaining everything, the Heavenly Queen thought for a while before explaining to him. She could not be tempted by these unknown pieces.

At that time, he deserved to be straightforward because he didn't know it.

With the tacit approval of the Heavenly Queen, Di Hao boldly promised her that she would become the princess consort, and arranged for her to stay in his bedroom. Not long after that, Hua brought her to the battlefield — just as the Dragon King had said, he possessed godly powers and was invincible in battle.

In addition to being overjoyed, there was also an inexplicable sense of guilt — every time the battle ended, Hua would always have more or less wounds on his body, and would personally help her heal them; he also thought of various ways to bestow rewards to her, even taking away the most precious treasures in every corner of the Immortal World; in addition, when he was free, not only would he drink tea and enjoy the flowers with her, but he would also accompany her on her walks in the mortal world, letting her use her sword to flatten the cruel monster — thus, the entire Immortal Realm thought that His Highness greatly loved the future Crown Prince's wife.

He did not clarify nor did he think too much about the meaning behind his actions. He only warned himself in the middle of the night that it was only a chess piece.

However, for some reason, every time he saw her spirited smile, and saw her extremely trusting and dependent expression, every time he heard her call out the two words "Ah Hao" in a loving tone, he would always have an illusion — — He just wanted to be together with her. Even if the entire Immortal World were to be in front of her, it would be fine.

Di Hao's abnormal behavior was finally reported to the Heavenly Queen by someone who cared.

Facing such solid evidence, he had no way to refute. The Heaven Queen was furious and wanted that arrogant little dragon girl who dared to seduce the Prince of the Immortal World to be destroyed by the twelve heavenly thunders.

Emperor Hao had no choice but to secretly approach the Dragon Emperor to discuss the matter. When he heard that the Heavenly Fox clan of Qing Qiu had a way to revive them, he decided to take the risk.

They first worked together to obtain A Hua's soul fragment, then tricked He Hua to keep his inner core in a safe place, and then took the Qilin clan's secret treasure, the Soul Replenishing Cauldron. Only then did they rush to send A Hua to the Immortal Execution Altar before the Heavenly Queen made her move.

In the countless silent and lonely nights that followed, Emperor Hao could clearly recall everything that happened that day: how she smiled like a flower when he sent the sweet soup with the Confining Immortal Pill into the hands of Ah Hua; how her eyes became as dark as death when he held the beauty conjured by his magic and saw her being taken down by the heavenly soldiers and generals; and how, at that final moment, the twelve streaks of lightning on the Immortal Execution Stage flashed, causing him to hide in the shadows, expending most of his cultivation to steal away the pieces of her soul.

The dragon girl, Hua, was reduced to ashes.

The Heavenly Queen was very satisfied with this. Perhaps she wanted to make it up to him, so she personally appointed the Seventh Princess of the Dragon Clan as his consort. Seeing that Sovereign Hao's behavior was normal and normal, she relaxed her guard over him.

Di Hao took advantage of this opportunity and went to the Yellow Springs to get some clean water. He then took the dantian, primordial spirit, and soul fragments left behind by Hua and went up to Qing Qiu. He couldn't get up in this world of ice and snow. He only wanted to beg the gods to save the woman he loved.

The God of Heaven was finally moved by him, but after healing, he sent Hua's demonic body to the mortal world, where he couldn't go. The Crown Prince of the Dragon Emperor felt guilty, so he volunteered to go to the mortal world to guard Hua and grow up. As for him, he lived in the Immortal World as long as a year, immersed himself in government affairs during the day, and spent the night reminiscing about his days with Hua — it was as if that was the only happiness he had.

After enduring for hundreds of years, he finally received news that the Little Fishdemon, Clear Sound, that Hua had reincarnated, was going to the Twelve Palaces of Karakorum to study as planned.

He used his pseudonym, Jing Yao, to go to Karakorum, hoping that she would quickly recall the events of the past. However, unexpectedly, a man in red suddenly appeared in the middle of the journey, calling himself Yan Jing.

When Emperor Hao and the Dragon Emperor thought about it carefully, they discovered that they had never heard of this title before. Moreover, Yan Jing's elusive appearance and his powerful strength made them deeply fearful of him. What made Di Hao even more uneasy was that Yan Jing seemed to be deliberately approaching the sound of the zither, and the zither sound didn't seem to reject him.

After walking around, Di Hao followed Qing Yin down from the Twelve Palaces of Karakorum to the mortal world. He looked at Yan Jing with his eyes wide open, but was powerless in front of her. With a pang in his heart, he found out from the source of the Yellow Springs that Yan Jing was actually the supreme being of the demonic world. As for Clear Sound, in order to save him, he had been severely injured by Yan Jing's palm strike. It took a lot of effort for him to condense his soul, and his soul had almost scattered because of it.

He could not save her in time. In the end, it was the Demon Lord who acted and only then was he able to pull back the little fish demon's life.

Even so, the Demon Lord was still extremely furious. Before he left, he said a few harsh words, "If we meet again, we will kill you without mercy!"

Everything that happened afterwards was like a nightmare to Di Hao – although he brought Qing Yin back safely to the mortal world, because of what happened at Yaochi before, and also in order to obtain a change in her appearance, the Seventh Princess of the Dragon Tribe came knocking to provoke him, causing him and Qing Yin to be separated.

When he found her again, he found her on the battlefield where the two armies were fighting each other. His father, who was usually indifferent, had actually attracted the lightning of the Ninth Heaven and forcefully chopped the little fish out of his arms.

At that moment, he hugged the little demon fish's lifeless body and was close to insanity.

He did not hesitate to dig out the Kirin Clan's most precious pair of eyes, opening the clan's sacred object, returning the Soul Cauldron to its body, and expending most of his cultivation to force his way through death in order to gather the soul and body of his beloved girl.

The Heavenly Emperor did not comment on his actions, but the Heavenly Queen was scared out of her wits by his actions. She did not dare to stop him anymore, only begging him to take a rest. He wanted to quietly wait for Hua to be reborn, even after a thousand years, or even after ten thousand years — but he never thought that on that day, when the sun was so beautiful, he would actually feel the presence of 'her' in the Heavenly Palace.

She said that her name was "Hua" and that she knew nothing about his identity. In addition to Hua's aura, she also had a feeling of the dignity of a god.

— Who is she?

He couldn't see, so he didn't know.

Not long after, the God Realm Master who had been missing for a long time, the Divine Profound Hua Yuan Lord appeared again.

The words "Xuan Hua Yuan Lord" seemed to have caused him to see a glimmer of hope, allowing him to wake up as soon as possible.

He did not hesitate to stumble along the way and personally went to the great hall to beg for a stalk of Nine Ghost Grass. Unexpectedly, he found a familiar aura there — it turned out that "she" was Xuan Hua!

He didn't know what to do, so he could only think of borrowing the Nine Ghost Grass to investigate.

The next day was still dark, so he took the Soul Restoring Cauldron and explored the eastern peaks of Mount Kunlun by himself. When he landed on his knees, the only thing he could think of was Hua's smile; when he heard the heavy footsteps slowly approaching, his heart was beating fast; when he touched her finger, he couldn't suppress his longing any longer —

At that moment, he felt as if his previously deathly still self had come back to life.

However, the truth was so painful that it pierced the heart.

She said, Your Highness, I appreciate your kindness.

She said, after all, it's impossible between us...

She said...

He could not remember what she said afterwards. All he knew was that in his lightest voice, there was a trace of an almost imperceptible pleading: "I just hope that you don't want to separate from me. Can you just call me Ah Hao?"

In the end, she agreed — he knew that she had always been soft-hearted. Whether it was the "Hua" who had descended to the mortal realm or the "Hua" who had returned to the Divine Throne, both were so soft-hearted that he wanted to cry.

The war between the Immortal and Demon Realms finally failed to rekindle as the Demon Lord wanted her to marry him. The actions of his mother had made him even more conflicted.

He did not understand why his mother insisted on killing her. He could not leave her behind.

This was the first time he found his father, and courageously asked about his suspicions, but he heard a strange story — — It turned out that his father had no feelings for his mother, and married her in order to obtain the highest position in the Immortal World. What his father loved was a good friend of Ah Hua, but his mother had killed him a long time ago.

So it turned out that the deep gulf separating him and Hua was something that he could not overcome no matter how much he tried.

At that moment, it was as if he could hear his own heart shattering.

After a few hundred years had passed, the Celestial Emperor suddenly, without any forewarning, took a trip to the Three Realms by himself.

Before leaving, royal father wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he opened his mouth, telling Yun Che not to put Hua too much in his heart because he shouldn't have been born. His mother stole the Nine Flower Immortal Leaf Grass, which saved his life. However, the Nine Flower Immortal Leaf Grass required the blood of the ancient clan to be nurtured. That was the reason why he was so infatuated with Hua and couldn't forget about it.

He wanted to laugh out loud, but in the end, he did not say anything.

On the day he ascended to the position of Heavenly Emperor, he looked down upon all living things in the Immortal World, and felt that his heart was completely empty.

At that moment, he seemed to somewhat understand just where the loneliness that flashed across his father's face from time to time came from.

So what if he lost her? So what if he had the world?

However, compared to his royal father, he was still lucky.

I guess royal father wouldn't know either. The words he said before he left actually made him feel some joy — — His life is already lonely, if it weren't for her heart's blood, how could he have known her and spent that period of time together?

Now, he could only hope that he could protect the life she wanted in the Celestial Realm, even if it meant never seeing her again.
