Episode 31

Azhu complained to Zhou, the attendant around her, that although Linglong Palace was beautiful, she had not seen Zhao Ming for many days.She asked Zhou doubtfully if Zhaoming was really so busy that he didn't even have time to see her.Zhou explained that the Holy Lord’s time belongs to all people in the world, so he is naturally busy.Ah Zhu was dissatisfied and asked if he was not the most important person around Zhao Ming. Why was he so busy but he was so leisurely.Zhou chuckled lightly and said that he also had a heavy responsibility, but he couldn't talk about it easily.

In order to appease Ah Zhu, Zhou proposed to play dice and asked Ah Zhu to take out his most precious thing as a bet.Ah Zhu hesitated for a moment and took out the only piece of cake left. This was her favorite food and she had been reluctant to eat it.Seeing this, Zhou felt helpless and asked Ah Zhu to bring out some ordinary things, such as the gold and silver jewelry that Zhaoming rewarded her.As a result, Zhou easily won away all of A-Zhu's jewels, while A-Zhu still hadn't learned how to play dice.

At this time, Zhaoming and his bodyguard Ayan happened to pass by. Seeing this, Zhaoming asked Zhou Ye to teach him how to play.Zhao Ming took out his big ring finger as a bet and soon won back Ah Zhu's jewelry.Zhou lay on the table in frustration, while Zhaoming ordered gambling to be banned in the palace.He told Ah Zhu that gambling is a bad habit and should not be indulged in.Ah Zhu argued that Zhou had been playing with her, but Zhao Ming warned her that following Zhou would lead to bad things sooner or later, and decided to find a teacher for her to teach her how to read and write.

This gentleman is the national preceptor. A-Zhu was a little nervous when she first met the national preceptor because she heard Zhou say that she must be respectful to the national preceptor.However, when Azhu saw the imperial master, he felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy, as if he felt like an old friend at first sight.The Imperial Master was also very shocked and happy to see Ah Zhu, because Ah Zhu was the Chaos Bead he had been looking for, and he himself was the Book of Destiny.They have been together in heaven for thousands of years, and now they meet again in the human world.

The national teacher began to teach Ah Zhu simple Chinese characters. He told Ah Zhu that the two characters “天” were placed horizontally above people, which meant that heaven controlled people.Ah Zhu said she didn't like this word.In order to please the imperial master, Ah Zhu even made cakes for him personally.She was worried that she would make the Imperial Master angry because she was too stupid, but the Imperial Master comforted her and told her that she was very smart.Ah Zhu happily asked the national teacher to continue teaching her literacy tomorrow. The national teacher readily agreed and gave her a writing brush as a gift.

After Azhu left, the imperial master tasted the cakes she sent, and the attendant Zichen curiously asked how they tasted.The imperial master smiled and said it was very sweet, but Zichen told him that it was a salty pastry.The Imperial Master fell into memories. He recalled the days when he and the Chaos Pearl had been together in heaven for thousands of years. At that time, they had no emotional entanglements and had never tasted the ups and downs of the human world.

Later, the Imperial Master asked Zichen if he thought his hometown was a happy place.He said that he should have taken her back when he met people from his hometown, but their hometown was full of constraints and boredom.Upon hearing this, Zichen advised him not to go back since this was the case.At this time, Azhu was practicing writing in the study, and Zhaoming walked in.Azhu told Zhaoming that she knew he was following the way of the emperor, but Zhaoming said that he did not pursue the way of the emperor, but hoped that people could break through the shackles of heaven and live their lives.Zhao Ming looked at Azhu and said affectionately that he hoped she could live a long life and be by his side. Azhu responded sweetly that she was Zhao Ming's pearl and of course she would always be with him.

On the other side, in order to find the Son of God, the God Emperor sent three gods, Desire, Crazy, and Zhan, to search for him.However, they did not find the Son of God but wanted to take Zhaoming into their own hands and ask him to help find the Son of God.After receiving the oracle from the God Emperor, the Imperial Master showed it to Zhao Ming, but Zhao Ming asked him to destroy the oracle and said that as long as he was around, he would never be controlled by the Gods.Zhao Ming was worried about this matter and couldn't sleep at night. Ah Zhu was very distressed when he saw his appearance and went to ask the national teacher about Zhao Ming.After the national master told her everything, Azhu decided to stay with Zhaoming to help him solve his problems. Zhaoming felt very relieved to see Azhu's company.
