Chapter 6: The Mortal World in An Instant
The Flower Leader makes Jin Mi kneel before the Flower Goddess's tombstone. She warns Jin Mi not to lie. First, she asks Jin Mi where her Spirit Sealing Hairpin went and Jin Mi said she lost it. She then asks Jin Mi how many people have seen her real appearance besides Phoenix and Jin Mi starts to name many gods like the Moon God, the Night Deity, etc...
The Flower Leader gets more angry. She asks if Phoenix brought Jin Mi out of the Flower World, if she has been staying at Phoenix's palace for the last hundred years and if she was the one who made the ling zhi (glossy ganodema) for Phoenix to cure his poison. Jin Mi says yes to all three. Jin Mi gets so used to saying yes that she also says yes to Flower Leader's next question which is if Jin Mi has romantic feelings for Phoenix. The Flower Leader is furious and started to say she needs to give up half of her immortal essence, so Jin Mi tells the Flower Leader that she does not have feelings for Phoenix and Phoenix owes her three hundred years of cultivation for the ling zhi. The Flower Leader is relieved.
The Flower Leader reminds Jin Mi that the Flower World and Heavenly Realm are enemies and she must make an oath never to have a connection with anyone from the Heavenly Realm. So, Jin Mi makes an oath that if she has a relationship with people (人) from the Heavenly Realm - her immortal essence will be destroyed, she can never be an immortal again, she will be a human in her next life, and a carrot in her next next life! Jin Mi secretly laughs to herself because there are only gods in the Heavenly Realm and no people, so the Flower Leader has been tricked by her oath.

The Flower Leader puts her in a room with three magical amulets at the door to prevent her from escaping. Jin Mi waits for Phoenix, believing that he will come. In a dash of seven coloured lights, Phoenix makes his grand entrance in the Flower World. The Twenty Four Flower Leaders are present and asks why he has barged into the Flower World without permission again. Phoenix says he is here to fulfill his promise to Jin Mi, someone he admires.
The Flower Leader tells Phoenix to give up his hopes and to ask the Heavenly Jade Emperor himself --- everyone is ok for Phoenix, except Jin Mi. Phoenix is confused for a moment than thunderstruck... he pauses... is Jin Mi... the Flower Goddess'....
Phoenix looks absolutely lost as he leaves the Flower World in confusion.
Jin Mi grows bored in her room and wonders who will free her. A few days later, she sees a meteor light and makes a wish to escape. Suddenly, an elegant figure on a deer, the Nightmare Beast, appears in her courtyard. It is Night.
Night asks if Jin Mi wants to join him? So Jin Mi eagerly follows Night, she sits on his Nightmare Beast and Night leads the Nightmare Beast as they cross the starlight and the heavenly river. Jin Mi says Night must be quite lonely since he is on duty when everyone is asleep and only has this mute Nightmare Beast for company.
Night gives a smile - only people who have experienced liveliness will be lonely. For someone like him who is destined to thousands of years of loneliness, who have never experienced liveliness, how could he be lonely?
Jin Mi tells Night that she sleeps late so he can find her or she can find him when he is lonely, and they can be lonely together**. Jin Mi asks where Night lives.

Night's eyes sparkle. He tells her his palace is at the end of the rainbow at An (暗 - the chinese word for Dark) Forest. They had met around the boundary of An Forest previously.
Jin Mi passes Night a seed from her pocket. She tells him this is a flower*** that blooms in the night and retracts its petals to sleep in the day - just like Night, so it can accompany him.
Night places it in his chest pocket carefully and thanks Jin Mi.
Jin Mi asks if she can go stay at Night's palace and not return to the Flower World. Night says yes, but as the Flower Leaders will be looking for her, it will be better for her to go to the mortal world. So Night brings Jin Mi to a hut in the mortal world and changes her appearance to a man.
The local soil god appears to greet Night and says he is honoured to have the arrival of such a great god. Night asks him to take care of Jin Mi as his esteemed guest. The local soil god eagerly agrees, then says he has poor eyesight and that Night and Jin Mi can continue... and quickly leaves.
Jin Mi is confused and asks Night to continue. Night does not know whether to laugh or cry and massages his temple.
** The literal translation is more like Jin Mi says we can accompany each other. But, I found it more lovely to translate it as lonely together.
***This flower is called tuberosa flower. Its name is particularly lovely in Chinese - meaning Beautiful Night Scent.

Essentia Animus
Second Book of the Soul - Celesi Veil Trilogy When the living essence of three girls are put at risk, giving room for a second essence within themselves, even their hyper developed fantasy world might not be enough to contain their new found ambitions. Another story of another world, these three girls must adapt to their new essence, all while each is left to question if they are truly still even alive. While this story is a sequel of the previous story in the trillogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, taking place in a distant corner of a Celese returning readers will be otherwise incapable of recognizing. However, the events of the story are a spoiler for the previous book, in case that matters to anyone. This story takes place over two centuries after the events of Vitae Memorandum, when Celese had developed into an advanced world, improved to a point that it is much like modern-day Earth while still using the gift instead of technology. The Aethyx languages are still present in this book, and even English still exists in the world after the events of the previous book, but are much less of a focus after the same closing events of the previous book. What is instead important is how the ending events of the previous book had resulted in the start of the Instrumentation Era, and exactly how the gift translates in a modern-day sense. While this book is still effectively a fantasy world of its own kind of magic, it isn’t the classical medieval scene that would be typical for such a story. The laws of science still do not exist in Celese, but that didn’t stop it from developing into something that looks similar enough. Earth itself still remains present on the other side of the veil, and its previous exposure continues to shape and advance Celese into the world it has become. This story contains scenes exibiting mania and similar dark themes, as it goes to great length to explore concepts of life and death. While the degree of such themes should not be considered to be as serious compared to matters such as actual horror, the psychological depth is still siginifcant enough to be potentially concerning for people sensitive to matters of this nature, such as any individuals with concerns questioning matters of suicide, mental harm, or a variety of emotional injuries. While none of these subjects actually occur in the story, readers who are currently troubled by such matters may find themselves considering old wounds if they are especially capable of empathy while reading, which could lead to furthered emotional or mental stress. Readers with a high capacity for empathy may find themselves troubled by concerns regarding any potential lack of mental/emotional control as well as considerations regarding the meaning of death. Readers who appreciate subtle dark themes in a story may instead find this to be an interesting twist of the same idea.
