15. I - Wait and Marry Me

Aranjo no longer cares about her whole body being soaked. Her memory had returned, hatred and anger took hold of her.

Aranjo looked at Ara and asked, " Why are you here? Wouldn't that get you in trouble?"

"The emperor allowed me to visit you! However, it can not be too long!" clearly Fig.

"Em-peror ...!" said Aranjo and remembered her silent friend who turned out to be the Emperor. All this time, Aranjo always thought that the demon was her friend, but in reality it was not like that.

The friend not only did not defend her, but also imposed such a cruel punishment.

 "What is he ... is the friend you said helped you out of the fog forest, The Emperor?" asked Ara.

Ara remembered, Aranjo once told a friend she met in the fog forest. A demon with silver hair, only the Emperor had such a look in the entire realm.

Aranjo nodded and said, "He's not my friend! The name friend does not deserve him!"

Aranjo walks back to his parents ' house. She also has memories of her time in the mortal world.

"Aranjo! Now you're using your goddess body, so you won't be able to conceive a human child!" explains Ara.

"I don't plan on having children with humans! How cruel, the Emperor wants me to remember every single thing that happened to this body! Cunning and evil!" Aranjo is angry.

"However, you must not use magic power in the mortal world! If you use it, then your body will be seriously ill!" explains Ara.

There's a lot to say to Aranjo.

"Anything else?" Aranjo stopped her steps and looked at Ara with red eyes full of anger.

"You have to really make humans fall in love with you, then break their hearts! However, you must also involve your body and feelings! After that all is fulfilled, and then the punishment is complete in every life!" Ara got that clue from the Guardian Goddess of the portal hole. Ara was sure, it was all arranged by the Emperor.

Aranjo clenched his hands together, then looked up at the sky.

"I will complete all these trials perfectly! Wait and marry me!" shouted Aranjo upstairs.

Luckily, there was no one else around. If not, he would be considered insane.

***

The Emperor had been watching Aranjo from his portal mirror. The emperor did not expect the Goddess to scold him. A slight smile adorned the Emperor's cold face. Having lived 10 lives in the mortal world with cruel trials of love, the Emperor was sure that upon returning to the celestial realm, the Goddess simply did not want to marry.

***

Back to Aranjo and Ara.

"My time is running out! I'll be back tomorrow!" said Ara.

"Tomorrow? That means next year in the world, right?" asked Aranjo and looked sadly at Ara.

Ara clasped his hands and looked at her deeply.

"You can go through all this well! Follow the destiny that will lead you to your partner! Don't do things that make everything even more chaotic!" order Ara. Then, Ara disappeared and returned to the sky realm.

Aranjo was silent when she saw Ara's departure. She only needed to wait for Fate to finish this life perfectly.

Aranjo returns to her parents ' hut.

"Aranjo! Why are you so wet?" Madam Ji, her mother approached her anxiously.

Madam Ji hurriedly helped her change clothes and gave a cup of warm tea to her beloved daughter.

From that moment on, Aranjo's attitude changed dramatically. She is no longer a sweet and kind girl. Aranjo becomes a quiet and calculating girl. Aranjo studied hard and tried to grow into an elegant woman.

On her birthday, Ara will always come to see her. However, there is no important news of any kind. Until her 20th birthday, Ara tells her that the God of Fire, Vulcan went to see the Jade Emperor and The Emperor, to tell him that it was all his fault and that he would be responsible for marrying her. The Fire God has only recently come to his senses, since he was unconscious when he was with her. However, it was too late, Aranjo had already received the punishment and served it.

"You will soon experience your trials, so do well!" orders Ara.

Aranjo always rejects proposals from men in the city where she lives. She was sure that the man she would break his heart with was a great man, as the Emperor had said.

The day she had been waiting for had finally arrived. There were so many royal warriors in front of the house.Mr. and Mrs. Ji, trembling with fear, thought they were involved in big trouble.

It turns out that Aranjo's beauty has reached the King's ears. The king ordered Aranjo to enter the palace to serve him.

Madam Ji cried bitterly and hugged Aranjo tightly. It is not a good thing, to enter the Palace without having any title. The king only wanted his daughter to be a servant, not even a concubine.

However, no one dared disobey the King's order. If you violate it, then it is tantamount to inviting death.

Aranjo got into a luxurious palanquin with a motorcade and an escort of soldiers. The location of the palace is quite far, they need to travel half a day through the forest and the river to arrive at the palace.

Aranjo smiled, himself a king, not bad, his inner self.

However, on the way the stretcher fell hard to the ground. Aranjo heard the sounds of swords fighting and the sounds of warriors shouting. They were attacked, but why? Aranjo began to worry and fear.

Although her body is the body of a goddess, it can also be injured and bleed.

Cries of pain could be clearly heard, as well as sword slashes. Aranjo felt his body wet from the cold sweat. Aranjo put on his ears and after a calm state, Aranjo opened the window curtain of the stretcher.

However, before he had time to open the curtain, the large curtain that was in front of him was roughly opened.

A soldier in a suit of armor full of blood stared at him. The Warrior was not from the Danzou Kingdom, so Aranjo retreated his body. That means they were defeated by the enemy.

The soldier looked at him with such passion that even the soldier seemed to swallow. Aranjo knows clearly the beauty and the beauty of his body that makes every eye stare in awe of him.

The soldier looked at him with a face full of appetite. It makes Aranjo nauseous and continues to rewind his body until it clings to the wall of the stretcher.

The soldier's hand was raised and approached his face, Aranjo kept trying to dodge. The hand almost reached for him, Aranjo squealed and closed his eyes.

However, the hand never touched his face. Aranjo slowly opened his eyes and in front of him was not the soldier, but a man he had seen.

"General!" he called to the soldier earlier while saluting.

The general raised one hand and asked the soldier to leave them.

The general stared at the woman who was on the stretcher. Big eyes with tapering eyelashes, a sharp nose and naturally red tiny lips. White and smooth skin and long thick brownish hair. A very perfect beauty and made it difficult for the general to look away.

The general extended his hand to the woman.

Aranjo stared with wide eyes at the figure of the man called the General. It was the figure of Vulcan, the God of Fire. Did God also undergo trials in the mortal world because of him? If so, then their soul mate just got here. Because the Emperor had already made sure that the man who went through the ordeal of love with her, would no longer have a soul mate bond in the next life or in the celestial realm.

Aranjo is also upset with that God of Fire. Everything that happens to him is more or less because of that God.

The general looked closely at the woman and said, "Come with me!"

Aranjo is happy to take the General's hand, and he makes sure to include the General in his cruel love trials.

The general took the woman's soft hands in his and helped her off the stretcher.The fragrant scent of the woman's body filled her lungs; her heart was pounding rapidly. How can he want a woman he just met, even if the woman's name alone is unknown.

When Aranjo got out of the stretcher, he saw all the soldiers who had picked him up earlier lying lifeless and covered in blood. Aranjo shuddered, even though she was a goddess, because she had never seen so many corpses.

"Who-who are you?" Aranjo stammered as he looked at the General.

"We are the soldiers of Qiyang Kingdom! I'm General Ming Hao!" said the General.

The Qiyang Kingdom was the strongest kingdom in this period. They are famous for being strong and ruthless. In every war they always win, thanks to the greatness of their generals.

Aranjo looked at the general, the man was the general who was so exalted by His Kingdom.

"Why are you attacking us?" asked Aranjo back.

Aranjo knew the relationship between the two kingdoms was not good, but attacking like this was also not honorable.
