Fairy Chang'e was serene, "If I hadn't stolen it, Big Brother Hou Yi would have been the one imprisoned on Taiyin Star.
He shot down the suns for the sake of the nation and the people, saving lives.
How could I possibly allow him to be jailed again?"
Yi Zheng was shocked, "What… is going on?"
Fairy Chang'e sighed, "Heroes of the past are seldom used by new rulers, especially when there are grievances involved.
That Immortal Pill was a trap.
If Hou Yi ate it, he would have been granted a place on Taiyin Star, imprisoned forever.
If he refused, he would be defying a sacred grace, and the punishment would be death.
It was best that I consumed it."
Yi Zheng was speechless, gazing at the Fairy Chang'e before him. At this moment, she appeared not at all gentle but instead bore a face full of resolve.
Yi Zheng finally understood why Fairy Chang'e had to steal the Spiritual Medicine. It wasn't theft; it was a sacrifice for righteousness.
