The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 159 Antecedents
The five fairies' eyes fluctuated for a moment.

There was silence for a while.

"Is there something?" Ding Lin spoke first.

"I……"

The fifth fairy opened her mouth and her body became dry again. She raised her hand. It was raining heavily outside the window. She looked at Ding Lin and felt that he was also covered with a layer of water curtain and could not be seen clearly. During these times of getting along, sometimes, she felt that she had understood Ding Lin a little, but in a trance, it became hazy again, just like the summer weather. It was clear and cloudless the moment before, but suddenly the rain fell, unpredictable.

"Do you still remember when you saved me?" the Fifth Fairy said. She pursed her lips, paused for a moment, and continued without waiting for Ding Lin to answer, "These days, I'm sure you can guess my identity. I was originally a noble lady in the Heavenly Palace, with my own entourage. It was unlikely that I would end up in such a situation. This time, I came to the mortal world secretly."

"The rules of heaven are strict. Although a female fairy like me may seem glorious to outsiders, she is also bound by the rules of heaven. My family has a high status in heaven. My grandfather is respected. My mother is the youngest daughter of my grandfather. In my generation, there are seven sisters, and I am the fifth. This time I came to the mortal world for my little sister."

"The story began a few years ago. The laws in Heaven are strict, and we sisters are not very old. Some of the people around us are from the lower world. Sometimes, we would occasionally hear news from the lower world. Over time, we became curious. One day, we sisters went down to the mortal world secretly to avoid being seen, but something happened in the middle, and we were very unhappy. We hurried back. It turned out that this was just a small episode, and it was over when it was over. But it was not until we returned to Heaven that we found that our seventh sister was missing. She left in a hurry, and we thought she was just one step behind. But we didn't see her for several days. You must know that one day in Heaven is one year on Earth. We guessed that something might have happened to her."

"Thanks to grandma's care, we have been given a mission. We sisters have not yet achieved immortality, but we have been given a mission. This is something that many immortals would not be able to ask for. This was certainly a good thing in the past, but it became a bad thing after the incident. The seven sisters weaved the clouds and embroidered the clouds, and divided the work and cooperated. Originally, there was one person at each step. Without the seventh sister, it would not be perfect all of a sudden. If things are not done well, the news that the seventh sister is in the lower world will naturally be difficult to conceal. In order to prevent the seventh sister from being punished, the remaining sisters discussed and decided that I would go to the lower world to look for the seventh sister, and the other five would barely hold on and keep it secret for the time being."

"The West Heaven Gate Guardian and my cousin are old acquaintances, so I went down to the mortal world through the West Heaven Gate, and then I met you on the shore of the West Sea," the fifth fairy pursed her lips, as if explaining herself, "I grew up in the Heavenly Palace, and naturally all I heard and heard were the bad things about monsters. Today there was a monster disaster in a certain place, and tomorrow there was a monster occupying a mountain and becoming the king. I already had prejudices in my heart. When I saw you, you had just killed a patrolling sea yaksha. When I came down to the mortal world, I had magic tools and sharp weapons on me, so I was naturally in high spirits and attacked you without hesitation."

Ding Lin listened quietly. He was an experienced person, so he knew it clearly.

"At that time, I was arrogant and proud. After the attack, I left without caring about the result. After all, at that time, I was... I was anxious to find the seventh sister. After all, the five sisters in heaven could not be kept secret for long. Before going to the lower world, I just thought that the seventh sister was playful. After the hasty separation, she did not return to heaven immediately, and hid in the mortal world to play for a few more years. After all, even if calculated according to the mortal time, she only lived for more than a hundred years and was still a child. But when I found her, I found that she was in the mortal world... and married a mortal."

"In heaven, there is a gap between immortals and mortals. In heaven, for us female immortals, the most important and the most unbreakable rule is to yearn for the mortal world. And my little sister..."

The fifth fairy paused, then gnashed her teeth. "She married someone in the mortal world, and it was not her own will. She was tricked by that mortal..."

The five fairies clenched their fists.

"He is ugly and from a poor family. Even my father... even ordinary mortals are better than him. Among mortals, he can be considered inferior and unimpressive. The most important thing is that he has a bad character. When my sister and I were separated that day, he stole my sister's feathered clothes and forced her to stay in the mortal world. Later... he and my sister had a pair of children. Because of our children, my sister... my sister... one day in heaven is one year on earth. In these years, I can't imagine how my sister has survived."

"My poor sister, I will kill that mortal immediately and take my sister back to heaven, but there are traces of heaven in this. Otherwise, how could such a lowly mortal steal my sister's feather robe and cut off her way back to heaven? This is full of conspiracy."

"My arrival also alarmed the Black Hand in the sky. A great battle broke out. Although I brought my magic weapon with me to the lower world, my realm was still low, and the demon and I...both suffered losses. My feathered robe was destroyed, my magic weapon was lost, and I was seriously injured. Later...you know what happened later. If you hadn't rescued me, I would be..."

Ding Lin listened, and he knew not only what happened later. When the scene happened, he was hiding nearby. In order not to be exposed, he even had a chase with the mortals in the village. He did not have the demeanor of a great demon at all, and looked very embarrassed.

"After nearly a year of recuperation, your injuries have gradually healed, so you want to go back and find your sister?" Ding Lin said, his face expressionless and his eyes dim.

"Yes, we sisters are weaving clouds and mist in the sky. I think you can feel that this summer is hotter than in previous years, and there are few clouds in the sky. Five of them are unable to handle the matter of seven people. In addition, the guards of the sky tower have to be replaced. If I can't bring my younger sister back, the matter will be exposed. Once it is exposed, she will be punished according to the rules of heaven. I don't know how many years my sister will be imprisoned." said the fifth fairy.

"If that's the case, I see Xi Que and you are getting along pretty well these days. I know what he's thinking, and you must know it too. If you need, and give her some benefits, I can let her go with you. This is also her chance, and I don't think she will refuse. Although she was born with defects when she was promoted, she has at least reached the level of Yuanshen, and should be of some help to you." Ding Lin seemed to have thought for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"That's not what I meant. I wanted to say..." The fifth fairy pursed her lips, a trace of embarrassment on her face, "Can you... can you..."
