Chapter 224 I've come to find Hibiscus Cake
"Your Majesty..."
Jiuying called out softly, but Wen Li suddenly flew into a rage!
She went berserk and smashed everything in the palace to pieces, causing the entire palace to shake.
"I will never descend to the mortal realm! Let the mortal world be as it pleases!"
"They're all dead! What does it have to do with me! They're all going to die anyway!"
"Can't people live like this anymore! Idiots! Fools! Useless trash! You should all just die!"
Hearing the commotion, the demons outside the palace all chose to stay away.
……
When the palace was reduced to ruins, Wen Li stood there motionless, gazing upwards.
"Your...Your Excellency?"
Jiuying carefully crawled to her feet.
Wen Li suddenly asked, "Is it daytime or nighttime now?"
"Your Majesty, it is nighttime now."
There is no distinction between day and night in the heavens; it is always bright here.
"Night? How do you know? There is no sun or moon in this celestial realm."
"Huh? I, I know. I mean there's no sun on Earth right now, so it's night."
Wen Li then asked, "Why is there no sun in the heavens?"
Jiuying remembered that the Venerable One had asked her a similar question before. The Venerable One had even flown all the way up from the mortal realm to try and catch the sun, but the sun had disappeared when she reached the celestial realm. She searched frantically in the celestial realm, but could not find the sun no matter what she did.
That was also the time when the Demon Lord smashed the entire Palace of Fate to pieces.
Wen Li calmed down and ordered, "Have someone clean this place up quickly. Repair what needs repairing, and rebuild what needs rebuilding."
The Demon Lord quickly returned to normal.
For the next few days, she continued to eat and drink as usual, showing no reaction even as more and more demons below contracted rabbit disease.
One day, Wen Li was enjoying a delicious meal when she suddenly discovered that the hibiscus cake she often ate on the table had changed its taste.
Jiuying summoned the little demon in charge. The little demon couldn't understand how the Venerable One could still discover that the hibiscus cakes looked exactly the same and even tasted almost the same.
"Your Majesty, it seems that all the restaurants you like have been infected with rabbit disease. That's why the demons below have changed them for you."
Upon hearing this news, Wen Li swallowed the delicious food in her mouth and spat it out. She didn't touch the food on the table either.
The demons at the table were eating heartily, but when they saw that Wen Li had lost her appetite, they stopped.
"Why are you looking at me? You all go about your business."
She spoke casually, and the others continued eating on their own.
Although the Venerable One was prone to temper tantrums, she never hit them, so they usually got along very casually.
Wen Li tried several different sitting positions, but none of them were comfortable. She thought she still wanted to eat that hibiscus cake. Since she was still alive, she had to eat whatever she wanted.
If all humans become stupid, then we'll never be able to eat hibiscus cake again.
That won't work.
Thinking this, she stood up again. "I'm going to find some good food. You lot don't need to come here to play with me."
The little demons looked dejected.
"Huh? Your Majesty, you didn't even beat me in the last game, and now you're running away?"
"Yes, you said you would guide me in my cultivation today."
Wen Li gestured for them to be quiet and explained, "I have more important matters to attend to now, so I'll be leaving first."
After saying that, he disappeared from the main hall.
Jiuying quickly snapped her fingers and chased after him, "Your Majesty, wait for me!"
Jiuying thought they were just leaving the Heavenly Palace to play in other parts of the Heavenly Realm, but they didn't expect to arrive in the mortal world so quickly.
Compared to last time, there are nearly half as many people on the streets now, houses are closed, pedestrians are hurrying by, and shopkeepers who have to keep making a living are bowing their heads and remaining silent.
A sense of desolation permeated the air.
"Your Majesty, what are we doing descending to the mortal realm?"
"I've come here to find hibiscus cake."
Looking for hibiscus cake?
not understand.
Jiuying didn't understand what the Venerable One was trying to do. She had said so many times before that she would never descend to the mortal realm and would stay in the Heavenly Realm until she died. Now she was coming down just to have something to eat?
It doesn't matter, she'll be wherever the Lord is.
"Hey hey hey..."
Suddenly, someone grabbed Jiuying's shoulder, and she quickly turned around to find herself facing a pig's face.
"Ah ah ah ah..."
She was so frightened that she hid behind Wen Li, and the people on the street also scattered in fright. Soon, soldiers used long ropes to lasso her.
"There is one here."
A group of soldiers with swords quickly pulled on long ropes and threw the man into the prison cart.
Wen Li looked at Jiuying perched on her shoulder and said speechlessly, "Having lived for tens of thousands of years, you've really made something of yourself now."
Jiuying was not ashamed at all. Instead, she held Wen Li's hand and acted coquettishly, "Your Majesty, it's good that Your Majesty is here."
The tall, alluring beauty kept rubbing against Wen Li, whose lips curved into a smile, but she expressed her disgust.
"You idiot, stay away from me."
"Your Excellency, what are we doing here?"
"Don't ask."
"Oh."
Wen Li casually asked a stall owner about the rabbit disease situation and learned that Wen Zhi'en was mainly in charge of it. She couldn't help but sneer.
Wen Zhi'en? What can he do with that petty, self-serving attitude?
Shen Yingsi has truly lost his mind after getting married.
"Didn't you say there were cases of complete recovery 25 years ago? Why not use the method from back then?"
The stall owner explained, "Who knows? I heard it's because the disease has progressed, and the methods used back then are no longer effective."
"However, Lord Wen is already developing a treatment, and I heard it's almost finished."
Seeing the young boss's trusting expression, Wen Li couldn't help but say, "He's been in charge of this for so long and the number of infected people is increasing, yet you still believe him."
"Sigh, Prime Minister Wen is just a bit unlucky, but he has worked hard for the country and the people for decades. I still believe he can develop the medicine."
Wen Li didn't want to talk to this blind merchant any longer, and after finding out that Wen Zhi'en was not in the capital, she planned to leave.
The vendor, holding up sachets, called out, "Don't rush off, ladies! Want to buy a sachet? You can give it to your sweetheart. Buy some! I've already told you so much..."
Wen Li casually picked up a sachet, threw out a few pieces of silver, and left with Jiu Ying.
Jiuying followed behind, staring into deep thought at the sachet in Wenli's hand.
Scented sachet...a gift for my lover...

The demons quickly discovered Wen Zhi'en's whereabouts, and Wen Li immediately flew over with Jiu Ying.
Being a demon is great; you can easily travel thousands of miles without having to struggle with sword control.
"Your Excellency, where is this?"
"In the clouds, there is Zegu City."
Wen Li randomly found a tree in front of the main gate and sat on it. From this spot, she could clearly see the movement of people coming and going in the entire house.
Jiuying transformed into a small snake and perched on Wenli's shoulder.
Jiu Ying knew Wen Zhi'en; she kept everything about the Venerable One in her heart.
But I heard they don't get along.
"Your Majesty, do you miss your father?"
"Thinking about you my foot! What I really want to know is what this idiot Wen Zhi'en has been doing all these days, unable to do anything right!"
"Is Your Majesty worried about the rabbit disease?"
"no!"
No. If His Excellency says no, then no. If His Excellency doesn't care about the rabbit disease, what is he doing here now?
Jiuying was completely baffled.
They stayed in the tree until nightfall, while the whole town fell asleep.
Finally, the tightly closed door quietly opened.
Wen Li recognized Wen Zhi'en's back at a glance. In the middle of the night, something sneaky must be up to something.
Dressed in black, Wen Zhi'en looked around to make sure no one was watching before flying away on her sword.
Wen Li immediately followed with Jiu Ying.
