Chapter 66: Su Daji, Fated for Ill-Fated Romance and Doomed Solitude
When the Gate of Immortals opened once more, King Zhou had already made meticulous arrangements, and Su Daji was brought directly to this place.
Su Hu and Huang Feihu were also present.
Seeing the strange immortal gate radiate a dazzling, uncanny light, Su Daji was so frightened she nearly lost control of herself.
Heavens!
What… what sort of place is this?
The thousand-year-old fox spirit possessing Su Daji’s body was nearly ready to abandon her host and flee in terror.
Su Hu kept his gaze fixed on his daughter; no matter how he looked, she was still his precious girl, though her beauty was now almost unbearably dazzling.
Ah! A peerless beauty, yet originally a demon!
Whenever he thought of this phrase, Su Hu’s heart was filled with conflicting emotions.
What was meant to happen—and what wasn’t—had already come to pass.
“Majesty… Your Majesty, is this the Gate of Immortals you spoke of? It’s truly uncanny,” Huang Feihu asked, smacking his lips in disbelief.
Had he not witnessed it himself, even if beaten to death, he would never have believed such a strange immortal gate existed.
If one could pass through it smoothly, they would arrive in a marvelous, mysterious new world.
King Zhou looked at the group and said, “The time has come. Let’s go. Whether you can pass through depends entirely on your unique fate.”
With that, King Zhou ignored Su Daji’s bewilderment, seized her, and passed through the gate without hindrance.
“Ah! Your Majesty, wait for me…” Huang Feihu cried anxiously, but as he approached the strange gate, an invisible and terrifying force rebounded him.
With a loud thud, Huang Feihu fell to the ground, looking utterly disheveled.
Su Hu stared in shock, “Are you alright, General Huang?”
Huang Feihu scrambled up, dusting himself off, “I’m fine. Seems fate isn’t with me. General Su, you try.”
“Alright!”
In the end, Su Hu passed through successfully.
Huang Feihu remained behind, both envious and deeply dejected.
Ah! Truly a matter of destiny.
On the other side of the manor.
King Zhou appeared with Su Daji and Su Hu, father and daughter.
“What is this place? Everything around looks so uncanny,” Su Hu’s heart pounded wildly.
Su Daji felt only a deep, unknown terror.
It was dusk, and the violet mist over the manor grew thicker.
A handsome white dragon horse galloped across the grounds.
Despite the newcomers, the white dragon horse showed no fear; rather, it seemed excited, running ceaselessly through the manor.
Suddenly, with a leap, the white horse soared into the air like a bird.
King Zhou, Su Hu, and Su Daji witnessed this astonishing scene, utterly terrified.
Was that truly a white horse soaring so high?
But how could a horse fly?
Unbelievable—deeply unsettling!
“Majesty… Your Majesty, is that a white horse? How can it fly? It’s beyond belief!” Su Hu gasped, clutching his chest.
King Zhou was equally shaken by the uncanny sight, “Indeed, I’ve never seen a flying white horse before. The master’s manor is truly wondrous—strange things everywhere.”
“Um… Who are you? How did you come in here?”
Just as the group was stunned by the flying horse, a beautiful and adorable young woman appeared.
She wasn’t very old, her mischievous eyes darting about, but her gaze lingered on Su Daji’s face.
Heavens!
She had never seen such a stunning woman!
Iron Fan Girl, seeing Su Daji, felt a surge of envy despite being a woman herself.
“Um… My goodness, you actually came out from another Gate of Immortals? That’s unbelievable.”
“Ah! Master… Big Brother, Fatty, come quickly—something big has happened!”
“We have guests!”
They had thought only they could travel freely through the strange immortal gate to the master’s manor, but never imagined others could do the same.
Iron Fan Girl’s shrill cry shattered the manor’s tranquility.
Chu Xiaoyu, Sun Wukong, Fatty Niu, and others appeared one by one.
King Zhou, upon seeing Chu Xiaoyu, was overjoyed and bowed excitedly, “Master, we meet again.”
“Um… Yes, here we are again. And these two are…?”
Chu Xiaoyu looked at Su Hu and his daughter, a bit puzzled.
They could also pass through the strange immortal gate?
Then they must be guests with extraordinary fate.
King Zhou quickly introduced them, “Master, this is Su Hu, and his daughter, Su Daji. After returning, I promptly carried out your instructions, and now I have brought them to you.”
“Good,” Chu Xiaoyu replied.
He gazed at Su Daji, finding her indeed exquisitely beautiful, a ravishing beauty.
Ah! What a pity.
The Su Daji of today was no longer the Su Daji of old.
For reasons unknown, when Chu Xiaoyu’s gaze met hers, Su Daji’s heart gave a sudden jolt, and a strong sense of dread arose within her.
That fear was intense.
Could it be… had her true nature been discovered? Was she truly exposed?
No! Impossible!
The young man before her looked like nothing more than an ordinary youth.
Su Daji kept reassuring herself silently.
“You are Su Daji, daughter of Su Hu? You are sixteen, born on the fourteenth day of the seventh lunar month at the hour of the Rooster. On the day of your birth, your mother died, and you’ve been considered unlucky ever since. Your father confined you, keeping you away from outsiders.”
“At fifteen, your beauty was already renowned, and your father grew increasingly anxious. A traveling Taoist once cast your fortune, saying you were destined for romantic disasters, a lonely star, beset by misfortune, and fated to bring calamity to the nation.”
As the details of Su Daji’s fate and fortune flooded his mind, Chu Xiaoyu revealed her secrets one by one.
“You… who are you? How do you…” Su Daji was shaken to her core.
Who was this young man before her, who could so easily see through all her secrets?
Did he truly see that the old Su Daji had been possessed by the fox spirit who had cultivated for a thousand years?
Terrified, Su Daji turned to flee, trying to pass back through the immortal gate.
But the strange gate had already vanished.
It was as if thunder had struck Su Daji, leaving her utterly stunned.
