Perhaps to welcome him, Dong Jiao ordered the attendants to light up every lamp throughout the palace, making special preparations for her husband's arrival. High Guang felt delighted—what surprise would this celebrity wife have in store for him? When High Guang reached Dong Jiao's room, the lights suddenly went out with a snap. The entire Yu Yuan Palace was plunged into darkness. What was she up to? High Guang was puzzled. Was this her surprise? Clearly, he wasn't impressed. Dong Jiao! I'm quite busy—how could I possibly find time to play games with you? If you don't give me an answer within three seconds, I'm leaving right now. Both Xiang and Ying need me, and I can't afford to stay here any longer. While thinking this, a clear, pleasant sound of "giggling" came through. High Guang turned his spirit senses toward the room and saw Dong Jiao wasn't there—instead, the voice came from the speaker. What on earth? "Dong Jiao! Come out!" I command you! Don't give me this surprise! I don't need it!" Huaoang finally lost his patience. "Husband! I'm right here! I'm right here!" Dong Jiao suddenly appeared, carrying a bowl of wine. At that moment, the lights of Yu Yuan Palace were all turned on, bringing light—only then did happiness come to life. Huaoang, the God of Light, deeply disliked darkness, yet Dong Jiao had deliberately chosen to embrace it. Huaoang was certainly not pleased. Huaoang didn't drink the wine Dong Jiao offered him; instead, he simply said calmly, "Dong Jiao! Is this all the surprise you've prepared for me?" "Husband! I know you don't like it. But I don't want to be like this either! Just as when you left me, I lived in darkness. When you're by my side, I feel light. I need light! Life needs sunlight!" Dong Jiao's words made Huaoang pause, and his tone toward her softened. It was actually Dong Jiao's surprise, expressing a wish: Ying'er needed her husband, and so did she. Gao Liang said, "Dong Jiao, I know you need me—and I need you, too!" "Husband! I'm taking you to a place!" With that, Dong Jiao pulled Gao Liang's hand, and led him to a rear garden. There, the garden featured artificial hills and stones, lush lotus fields, and vibrant flowers in full bloom, with green trees shading the grass. Dong Jiao raised her jade hands toward several attendants, and immediately, the attendants served a full table of meals before Gao Liang. The dishes included hand-cut noodles, Buddhist-style stew, imperial eight delicacies—and even French cuisine. The table was filled with an abundance of dishes. Dong Jiao poured wine into a jade pitcher, filled Gao Liang's cup, and then served herself tea instead of wine. They both drank it down at once. "Husband! Eat your food!" "Dong Jiao gestured, and Gao Liang helpfully took a bite of food and began to eat. "Excellent! Excellent! So fresh and delicious! Oh! This dish—Fó Tiào Jiāng—is who's it from?" Gao Liang asked Dong Jiao. Dong Jiao chuckled and said, "Husband, it's me!" "Me? Really? When did Jiao'er learn to make Fó Tiào Jiāng?" Gao Liang asked. Dong Jiao beamed and replied, "Husband! It was Ying'er who taught me! Recently, we've been constantly practicing and learning to cook together—these dishes are all made by me!" "Excellent! You've made tremendous progress! That's wonderful! All of you women are so smart!" Gao Liang was delighted. Now, all his wives can cook well. "Husband! Please enjoy! Jiao'er is presenting a dance and song for you!" As soon as Dong Jiao finished speaking, several attendants stepped onto the stage as supporting performers, while Dong Jiao herself stepped out in a fresh, elegant appearance, dancing gracefully in the celestial dance of Chang'e. The other attendants Gao Liang watched Dong Jiao, this celebrity beauty, dancing with such passion. Indeed, during his visit to the Heavenly Palace, he had seen Chang'e and her celestial dance performances, yet somehow, Gao Liang found Dong Jiao's dance more captivating—truly so, because Dong Jiao is a highly dedicated and focused young woman, diligently practicing her dance under the finest training. Reflecting on their past stories—during the filming of "Dreaming of the Red Chamber" at the Shaolin Temple, when both of them had taken monastic vows, and earlier memories—Dong Jiao had proven herself resilient, especially during her time filming in France, where she earned the prestigious award for Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival. In Hollywood, California, she delivered a compelling performance in "The Money Empire: The Chaotic Blossom, Season One," earning widespread acclaim from audiences around the world. Indeed, this wife is truly excellent! An unwavering dedication to one's artistic pursuits! Just consider the performance of Chang'e's dance in the celestial palace here—she outshines Chang'e, something Gao Liang had never anticipated. While appreciating the performance, Gao Liang failed to notice an unexpected move by Dong Jiao. After completing her dance, Dong Jiao, while Gao Liang was distracted, dove straight into the deep well pool. This was no ordinary pool—once one jumped in, survival was rare, and even Gao Liang himself hesitated to make the plunge. Gao Liang was stunned. Why would Dong Jiao do this? Why? This is truly a surprise for me! Gao Liang didn't have time to ponder further—he immediately leapt into the air and plunged directly into the pool. Dong Jiao's body sank rapidly downward. Gao Liang hurried to catch up, but the pool's water was exceptionally deep, with the bottom nearly invisible and growing increasingly dim. Despite his ability to perceive spiritual light, Gao Liang found himself unable to clearly see what lay beneath. He felt increasingly anxious—what should he do? What should he do? If another minute passes without rescuing her, Dong Jiao will surely die. Gao Liang can no longer hesitate. He takes a deep breath, expelling the Fire Dragon Pearl from within his body and issuing orders to it: "Go down! Remember your mission—just shine! Shine!" The Fire Dragon Pearl forms a blazing flame, illuminating the depths of the pool. At the same time, Gao Liang expels the Energy Dragon Pearl, which releases an infinite surge of energy at the speed of 2048 to the Nth power, fully brightening the entire pool. The Light God! Indeed, the Light God! Didn't Dong Jiao express her love for light and her aversion to darkness? Then I shall bring light to this deep, endless pool! Gao Liang roars: "I have become a god! I am the Light God! I demand light! I will drive away the darkness!" After his roar, Gao Liang's body radiates like the sun, the light from the Fire Dragon Pearl and the light emanating from himself together illuminate the entire deep pool. Where is Dong Jiao? The luminous Spirit-Eye, combined with the bright daylight glow, spotted Dong Jiao's figure. She glided swiftly past, like a fish in motion. Dong Jiao was rescued by Gao Liang, her heart nearly stopped, her face pale as paper, and her breathing completely ceased. Gao Liang laid her gently on the grass, gazing at her frail form with deep compassion. He took a deep breath, then positioned his mouth directly over hers, beginning artificial respiration—continuously exhaling and inhaling. After about five minutes, Dong Jiao suddenly coughed violently, spitting out a large volume of saliva that landed on Gao Liang's clothes. Yet Gao Liang remained utterly delighted, turning to her and exclaiming, "Jiao Jiao! You've finally awakened! That's wonderful! That's wonderful!" "No! Why did you save me? You made me die! You made me die!" Dong Jiao wept. "You're not happy! I know! It's just that I haven't cared for you!" Gao Liang said, feeling deeply remorseful. "I don't want to stay here! I want to go home! Home! Back to my parents!" "Dong Jiao said. "Great! I agree! I respect your choice!" Gao Liang replied. After Gao Liang performed artificial respiration on Dong Jiao, her body gradually returned to its original state. "Promise me! Don't be so foolish in the future! Now I'm taking you home!" Gao Liang said. Gao Liang truly followed Dong Jiao's wishes and brought her to Hanhai City. At Dong Jiao's doorstep, Gao Liang didn't enter but simply said to her, "Take care! Here's a gift for you!" He then handed her an object the size of a ring. "If you ever need anything, simply press the red button on this! I'll be there quickly. Take care!" After saying this, Gao Liang left Dong Jiao. Gao Liang returned to his second Eden. Why did Dong Jiao seek her own death? Why? Gao Liang was still pondering this! Couldn't quite figure out what the outcome would be, Dong Jiao wouldn't tell herself either. Gao Liang felt there was still a wall separating him from Dong Jiao.
