Tianyi City.

It is a relatively remote mortal town within the Luohen Immortal Dynasty. While some Luohen Immortal Dynasty cultivators are stationed there, it's still primarily populated by mortals.

Today is the mortal world's Yuanxian Festival, a celebration held to thank and commemorate the immortals who protect them. It's a bustling day, and some cultivation families will sell small items from the immortal world to mortals at low prices.

At this moment, the streets of Tianyi City were festooned with lights and colorful decorations, and the roads were lined with a variety of shops. The streets were bustling with people, making for a bustling scene.

Qin Tian and Gong Xiaoyue descended from the sky onto the city streets. What puzzled Qin Tian was that the passersby only looked at them with awe, but not with much surprise.

Although this was a mortal town, it was still home to many immortal cultivators, and seeing the two men descend from the sky was commonplace for the people around them.

Qin Tian was stunned, glancing at his mother, Gong Xiaoyue. A beauty so stunning, so breathtaking, that it would be impossible for these people to remain indifferent to such a stunning fairy arriving in a mortal city.

"Are these people blind?"

"Hahaha..."

Gong Xiaoyue couldn't help but laugh. Her son's expression of frustration and disbelief, wanting to show off his most cherished possessions to others, only to find them completely blind, was adorable.

"As long as I don't want them to, they won't see me. This will also make me ordinary in their eyes, and I'll also diminish your presence in their eyes."

Qin Tian nodded. Although he felt vain about showing off his celestial companionship, he also knew that revealing their true identities would lead to significant trouble.

If their identities were revealed, their date would be over. The news that the Empress and Crown Prince of the Luohen Immortal Dynasty had arrived in Tianyi City would likely cause a stir among the entire cultivation community.

"Well, it's better to be low-key."

"My Madam Yue'er, come with me." Qin Tian extended his hand and said with a smile.

"Who is your Madam Xiaoyue? Call me mother." Gong Xiaoyue's heart was filled with sweetness. Although she said no, she still placed her hand in her son's and let him hold it.

"No, you are my Madam today, my dear Yue'er."

"Shameless."

"Yue'er, call me husband."

Qin Tian held Gong Xiaoyue's hand and looked at her expectantly. Gong Xiaoyue blushed. She had called him husband many times before, but always in bed.

"Husband..."

"Well, Madam, let's go. The opera is about to begin."

Hearing Gong Xiaoyue call him husband, Qin Tian was delighted. Hand in hand, the two began to stroll slowly along the bustling street.

Ting Ya Xuan is the largest and most luxurious restaurant in Tianyi City, with its towering eaves and ancient charm.

Today, a master opera performer has been invited to perform, so Ting Ya Xuan is particularly crowded. It's a good idea for some cultivators to come.

The waiter at the door saw Qin Tian and hurried over.

"Sir, today we're at Ting Ya Xuan's opera festival. We need tickets to enter. Do you have any?"

Although Gong Xiaoyue had used a spell to reduce Qin Tian's presence, his transcendental aura remained unparalleled. The waiter immediately recognized that he was a distinguished guest.

Qin Tian took out two tickets and handed them to him.

The waiter's eyes lit up when he took the tickets. He immediately nodded and bowed, his tone becoming more respectful.

"So you're a distinguished guest from the Celestial Realm! Please come in."

The servant extended his hand to clear the way for Qin Tian, leading him to a luxuriously decorated private room. Rubbing his hands, the servant asked, "Sir, as a distinguished guest from the Celestial Realm, I not only provide free tea and spiritual fruit, but I can also find a few maids to serve you if you require."

Qin Tian waved his hand, tossed a spiritual stone to the servant, and said, "I don't need it. Don't bother me unless you have anything else to do."

"Okay!"

The servant's eyes lit up. This spiritual stone was enough to keep him well fed for the rest of his life.

Qin Tian and Gong Xiaoyue entered the private room and sat together. They were alone in it, their vantage point affording them a commanding view of the entire stage, yet the guests in the hall couldn't see them. It felt like a special, intimate moment.

Gong Xiaoyue leaned against her son, saying seductively, "Little pervert, are you planning on doing something bad again by taking this private room?" Qin Tian was speechless. Was he that impatient in Gong Xiaoyue's mind?

Holding his mother's hand, interlocking their fingers, Qin Tian smiled and said, "Today we won't have sex. We'll go on a date like a couple. I want to tell you that I love you. I love more than just your body. I love you, too."

"I'm so touched that you think that way."

Gong Xiaoyue's eyes moistened, her heart deeply moved. Her tone softened.

"Mom again? Today you're my Yue'er." Qin Tian lifted Gong Xiaoyue's chin and gently tapped her crimson lips.

"So shy, a little uncomfortable."

"You'll get used to it."

"Yeah."

Gong Xiaoyue felt her face flush. She and Qin Tian had already done all sorts of intimate things, but when Qin Tian held her hand and called her Yue'er, she felt a sense of shyness, like a young girl in love.

She leaned her head against Qin Tian's shoulder and asked, "What opera are we going to listen to today?"

"The Palace of Eternal Life."

"What is the Palace of Eternal Life?"

Just as Gong Xiaoyue asked, she heard a burst of music from below.

Then a group of people in costumes walked onto the stage.

"Yue'er, this is the opera I composed for you. I hope you like it."

"You composed it?"

Gong Xiaoyue was stunned. She seemed to understand why Qin Tian had asked her to come that evening. It wasn't just to listen to the music, but he had prepared everything during the day.

"I'll just listen." Seeing Qin Tian's thoughtfulness, Gong Xiaoyue felt incredibly sweet.

As the melodious and mournful zither music began, the stage began to sing.

Life begins early, youth is good, why not enjoy it?

May this life be filled with gentleness, like white clouds, not envy the celestial realm.

I only wish to obtain, to cherish, to cherish, to have a happy and lasting love.

A century of separation comes in a moment, a generation of beauty dies for you.

Spring is alluring, the wind blows like a fan, the willows wield a mist. Wherever I pass, I cannot distinguish the purple streets from the red dust.

Since ancient times, heroes have been tempted by beauties, but how could beauties be willing to leave a peerless hero?

Before leaving, I send you a poem with a vow, known only to us.

On the seventh day of the seventh month, in the Changsheng Palace, in the middle of the night, when no one whispers.

In the sky, I wish to be a pair of wings, on the ground, a pair of branches. Eternal love may come to an end, but this lingering hatred knows no end.

I send you a farewell poem, filled with boundless emotion.

On the seventh day of the seventh month, in the Changsheng Palace, in the middle of the night, when no one whispers, who knew that we would part, our love would die, leaving behind endless hatred.

A glimmer of confusion crossed Gong Xiaoyue's eyes; she understood the meaning of the opera.

It tells the story of two people's undying love, the sorrow after their separation, and the joy of finally being together. It's a tragedy, but it leaves true love without regrets.

In the lyrics of this opera, Gong Xiaoyue could sense a deep love and sincerity.

"Husband..."

Gong Xiaoyue's tears streamed down her face. She hugged Qin Tian tightly, her voice choking with sobs: "Husband, the happiest thing in my life is that God gave you to me."

A faint smile played on Qin Tian's lips. He put his arm around Gong Xiaoyue's shoulders, and the two of them lost themselves in the leisurely and tragic sentiment of the opera.

The song ended.

As expected of a master of opera, his singing was incredibly moving. Many in the audience were captivated, unable to recover for a long time, as if they were the protagonists. Many were already sobbing quietly.

Then the performer arrived on stage, bowed to everyone, and then spoke.

"This piece, called 'Palace of Eternal Life,' was given to me by a young man to play here. He wanted to tell someone special about you."

"I don't know when it started, but wherever my thoughts wander, wherever my eyes reach, I see you. I love you. I don't want the world's prosperity, I just want you by my side. For the rest of my life, I hope to walk with you, Yue'er, I love you."

The opera master was deeply moved after saying this. He said, "What a beautiful love! I hope this young man and his wife, Yue'er, will live happily ever after."

"Wow... so touching."

"Wow, this young man is so warm and devoted."

"I wish you a long and lasting love, growing old together, and to be together forever!"

Everyone was deeply moved, and they all shouted blessings and expressed their feelings in the elegant pavilion. They knew that this young man and his daughter, Yue'er, must be here.

"Miss Yue'er, marry such a good man."

"Yes, you'll regret it if you miss out on a man like that."

"Miss Yue'er, if you don't want him, why not give me the young master's contact information? I want him!" "Huh..." Everyone looked at the woman who was calling out for her with disdain.

"Husband." Gong Xiaoyue was so moved she couldn't breathe. Hearing the various blessings from the audience, her heart seemed to melt.

"Do you like it?" Qin Tian asked gently, hugging Gong Xiaoyue.

"Yes, I like it very much."

"Yue'er, let's go shopping. You've been in the palace all this time, handling state affairs and playing around with me. Today, don't think about anything else. Act like a normal woman and have fun."

Qin Tian took Gong Xiaoyue's hand, and the two left Ting Yaxuan side by side. As they left, a flash of spiritual light flashed in his hand, and he tossed a bag out. The bag exploded in the air in the hall, and countless spirit stones rained down from the sky.

Accompanied by exclamations and the bustling atmosphere behind them, Qin Tian and Gong Xiaoyue left with smiles on their faces.

Tianyi City was bustling today. The two strolled leisurely along the streets. The fiery red lanterns and the shouts of vendors, combined with the steaming heat, brought a sense of inner peace.

The daily hustle and bustle of life is most soothing to the mortal heart. Even if the road is bumpy, there will always be someone returning home.

This is the most ordinary, yet most soothing, thing for mortals.

How ridiculous that these cultivators, claiming to be immortals, have never experienced the mundane world, ignorant of the vicissitudes of life.

Just then, Qin Tian spotted a small stall and walked over, leading Gong Xiaoyue.

"Boss, give me a string of candied haws."

"Okay, young man, please take it."

After paying, Qin Tian handed the candied haws to Gong Xiaoyue.

"Take it and eat it."

Gong Xiaoyue reached out to take it, looking at the bright red candied haws in her hand. She couldn't help but smile. "I'm already an adult, and you still buy me this kind of thing." "Yue'er will always be eighteen in my eyes."

"You're the only one who's sweet-talking. Let's go take a look up ahead. It looks like it's bustling."

Gong Xiaoyue held the candied haws in one hand and held Qin Tian's hand with the other. They continued walking forward. Gong Xiaoyue opened her delicate cherry lips and took a gentle bite.

"Is it sweet?" Qin Tian asked.

Seeing his curiosity, Gong Xiaoyue held the candied haws to his lips and said, "You'll know after you try it yourself."

Qin Tian didn't hesitate and took a bite of the candied haws Gong Xiaoyue had taken a bite of.

"Hmm, it's really sweet."

Gong Xiaoyue's pretty face flushed. "Of course this candied haws is sweet." "The candied haws are not as sweet as Yue'er's lips," Qin Tian said with a sly smile. "Hey, you're so corny, but I like it."

Gong Xiaoyue's smile widened. Now, she had shed all her identities and burdens. She was no longer the Emperor of the Luohen Immortal Dynasty, nor was she the peerless and elegant Empress of Luohen.

She was just an ordinary woman shopping with her beloved.

"Yue'er, give me another candied haws."

"I don't want one. You eat one in a single bite and it's gone in a flash."

"There are six left. I'll have another."

"Not for you either. This is my candied haws. If you want more, go buy it yourself."

...

On the brightly lit streets, the two of them played and laughed, their figures gradually blurring until they merged.

They wandered the city for a long time.

Since they rarely visited places like this, they were curious about everything and would buy and try anything they saw.

Of course, the food didn't taste particularly delicious; it was simply out of curiosity.

"Boss, what's this?"

"This is my homemade red bean cake. It's delicious. Come buy some and try it, young lady."

"It looks delicious. Give me one."

Gong Xiaoyue took a bite of the red bean cake and nodded with satisfaction, a look of delight on her face. Then she handed the cake to Qin Tian.

Qin Tian took the cake from Gong Xiaoyue with a look of resignation. Gong Xiaoyue had bought a lot, but she only tasted a small portion of each before handing it to him, asking him to finish it all.

In just a short while, Qin Tian had devoured dozens of snacks. Furthermore, the people here are very simple and honest, and they often buy a large bag for each portion, which left Qin Tian feeling bloated.

"Buy less. I really can't eat anymore."

"But I'm not full yet," Gong Xiaoyue said with a tilted head and a smile.

"Of course you're not full. I ate it all..." Qin Tian's words were filled with a hint of grievance.

"Hey, just eat more and gain weight." Gong Xiaoyue reached forward, cupped Qin Tian's cheeks with both hands, and rubbed them, smiling.

Just then, a voice from not far ahead shouted, "Wine lees meatballs, hot wine lees meatballs."

"Ah, what's that? It looks delicious. I want to buy one."

Gong Xiaoyue's interest was immediately piqued.

Gong Xiaoyue looked at the stall ahead and excitedly trotted over. Qin Tian had no choice but to follow behind, pay, and finish the wine lees meatball he had only taken a small bite of.

"Burp..." Qin Tian burped, sweat pouring down his face as he looked at the long street ahead.

"Yue'er, we've been walking around long enough. Let's stop here for now. I'll take you somewhere." Qin Tian hurriedly grabbed Gong Xiaoyue, who was about to go up to buy some sesame meatballs.

"But these sesame meatballs look delicious..." Gong Xiaoyue pouted, aggrieved.

"Last one!" Qin Tian saw Gong Xiaoyue's aggrieved expression and gritted his teeth as he bought her a string of sesame balls.

"Hehe, my husband is the best."

Gong Xiaoyue's eyes lit up, and she burst into laughter. She pointed to the stall next to the sesame balls and said, "That flatbread looks delicious, too. Let's buy one."

Qin Tian: "..." Finally, Qin Tian, holding a sesame ball in one hand and a bag of flatbread in the other, followed Gong Xiaoyue with a look of despair on his face. He truly couldn't eat a single bite.

It was almost hard for Qin Tian to drag Gong Xiaoyue away. They arrived outside the city. Although outside the city, the place was still decorated with lights and crowded with people.

There was an ancient red-leafed tree here, rumored to have been planted by an immortal. During festivals and other occasions, people from Tianyi City and even the surrounding cities would come to make wishes and rest in the shade.

The ancient tree wasn't tall, but its branches and leaves were lush. From a distance, the crimson leaves looked like wisps of flame. Various ribbons and small lights hung from its branches, and red ribbons were wrapped around its trunk, looking particularly beautiful under the glow of the lights. Written on these ribbons, fluttering in the wind, were the worldly wishes of the people.

"Is this the Fire Spirit Tree?" Gong Xiaoyue immediately recognized the origin of the ancient red-leaved tree. This type of tree is very common in the world of cultivation, typically used for decorative purposes and landscaping.

"No, it's a wishing tree."

Qin Tian walked up to Gong Xiaoyue, his aura ethereal and handsome, though the baked pancakes and sesame balls he was carrying somewhat diminished his presence.

Gong Xiaoyue looked at the Fire Spirit Tree. Most of the people were couples. They wrote their wishes on slips of paper, stuffed them into sachets, tied them with red ribbons, and then tossed them onto the branches.

Local legend has it that the higher the sachet is hung, the more likely the wish will come true.

"My dear, I'm an emperor. How could I believe in such things? But I'm sold on it. Let's go make a wish."

Gong Xiaoyue excitedly took Qin Tian's hand and ran over. Qin Tian smiled faintly, bought two sachets, and wrote down their wishes on paper.

"What did you wish for?" Qin Tian, curious, wanted to lean over to see.

"Hate it! I won't show you. It won't work if you do." Gong Xiaoyue quickly blocked Qin Tian's view with her hand.

"Don't bother looking. You're so secretive!" Qin Tian snorted.

They stuffed the slips of paper into the sachet and tossed it up together. The sachet, with its ribbon, flew to the top of the tree branch, higher than anyone else's.

"Husband, what wish did you make?"

"I won't tell you."

"If you don't tell me, I won't tell you either."

The two smiled at each other. Although neither knew what the other had written, they knew each other's wish.

"We've finished shopping and made our wishes. Looks like our date's over. Shall we go home now?" Gong Xiaoyue said, looking somewhat reluctant.

Qin Tian smiled and shook his head. "Who said it's over? I still have a gift for you."

With that, Qin Tian released the Feiyun Boat. Auspicious clouds surrounded the boat, resembling a fairyland. Every wooden plank radiated a spiritual glow, and the overall design was elegant, exquisite, and magnificent.

Qin Tian took Gong Xiaoyue's hand and stepped onto the Feiyun Boat. The boat shone brightly and soared into the sky.

A large bed had been set up on the deck of the Feiyun Boat. As the night fell, the two of them lay on the soft mattress, gazing at the twinkling stars in the sky.

Gong Xiaoyue leaned sideways into Qin Tian's arms and smiled, "Your final gift, aren't you going to make love to me here?"

"Of course not. I said we won't have sex today. Let's end our date with this gift," Qin Tian said, hugging Gong Xiaoyue's slender waist.

"What's the gift? You're making it so mysterious," Gong Xiaoyue said, curious.

Qin Tian held Gong Xiaoyue in his arms and found a comfortable position on the bed. He then pointed to the sky, "Moon, to your side."

Gong Xiaoyue looked curiously in the direction Qin Tian's finger pointed. She heard a distant "whoosh" sound, and saw a beam of light shoot up from the ground, piercing the darkness. It exploded in front of the Feiyun Boat, sparkling with sparks as bright as a shooting star.

Gong Xiaoyue stared blankly at the dazzling fireworks before her, "What is this?"

Before she could react, she heard several sounds, and then countless lights rose into the sky, blooming and fading like a night-blooming cereus before disappearing into the night sky. As Gong Xiaoyue watched in shock, the tiny sparks of fireworks formed a portrait of a woman in the night sky.

Below the portrait, the words "To my beloved Yue'er" were written. Gong Xiaoyue stared blankly at the countless fireworks forming her own image in the sky, speechless for a long time.

The fireworks in the sky illuminated the entire night sky.

Even the countless stars were eclipsed at this moment.

The tiny sparks formed a beautiful face, lingering in the air for a long time before dissipating into the night sky like a shower of stars.

Gong Xiaoyue leaned against Qin Tian's chest and said with emotion, "Thank you..." "If I really have to say thank you, it should be me. Thank you for your care and indulgence. No matter what I did wrong, you always stood by me and helped me solve it. Thank you also for allowing me to be your husband."

Qin Tian hugged Gong Xiaoyue tightly, looking at her face with a bright smile.

"Stop saying such cheesy things. I can't live without you in this life. You can't leave me."

"Even if I don't want to leave myself, I won't leave you. Unless I'm an idiot. A beauty like Yue'er is hard to find."

"Let's make a pinky promise."

"No problem."

The two of them linked their pinkies together and said in unison, "Pinned to death, don't change. Whoever changes is a puppy."

"Hahaha, we're so childish."

After making the pinky promise, Gong Xiaoyue couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Combined, Gong Xiaoyue alone must be over ten thousand years old, yet she still acted like a little girl, strolling around, eating candied haws, and making wishes.

Qin Tian, watching Gong Xiaoyue beam so happily, felt delighted too. He'd borrowed money from the system to buy these fireworks; he'd used up all his villain points in the lottery.

Although the interest rate on that damned profiteer system was a bit high, seeing his mother having so much fun was worth it.

"Husband..." Gong Xiaoyue's smile faded, and her eyes turned to Qin Tian with even more tenderness, the intense love in them practically overflowing.

She closed her eyes, leaned over Qin Tian's chest, and leaned over to kiss him on the mouth.

Instantly, a sweet scent filled his mouth. Qin Tian's gaze softened, his hands clasped around Gong Xiaoyue's waist, and he closed his eyes, returning her kiss.

This kiss was breathtaking.

This kiss would last forever.

This kiss was unforgettable. This kiss was the most beautiful in my memory. This kiss was a testament to love. This kiss, I know your heart, you know mine. After a long moment, the two slowly separated. Gong Xiaoyue's pretty face flushed, her eyes shimmering with a thousand emotions.

"Yue'er, you dared to attack your husband? See how I punish you," Qin Tian said with a smile. He then rolled over, pinned Gong Xiaoyue beneath him, and kissed her lips.

"Hmm..." A long moment passed before the two separated again. Gong Xiaoyue's fair face flushed crimson, and she panted, pouting, "You're so mean! Are you trying to suffocate me?" Gong Xiaoyue pouted, finding a comfortable position in Qin Tian's arms. The two of them cuddled together, gazing at the bright moon and stars above.

"Did you get your grandmother into bed?" Gong Xiaoyue suddenly asked.

"Uh..." Qin Tian was stunned. He hadn't expected Gong Xiaoyue to ask such a question, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

"You, you, are truly ridiculous. You're playing mother-daughter stunts, and you've even brought them to me." Gong Xiaoyue continued, her tone devoid of blame.

"I have no objection to your relationship with your grandmother. If you want mother and daughter to share a husband, it depends on whether you can convince your grandmother."

"Yue'er, I..." Qin Tian was momentarily lost for words. Gong Xiaoyue was truly understanding.

"No need to say anything. I support everything I like." Gong Xiaoyue lay in Qin Tian's arms, listening to her pounding heartbeat, squinting her eyes as she spoke calmly.

"I'll treat you well. No matter how many women I have, you'll always be my legal wife."

"Well, I'm waiting for the day you marry me."

Gong Xiaoyue smiled sweetly, then, as if reminiscing, said, "But your grandpa is still alive. You'll have to be careful about him."

"Grandpa? What kind of man is he?"

Qin Tian asked curiously. He hadn't seen his grandparents since he was a child.

Grandma Gong Mingyue was in seclusion, so why hadn't Grandpa ever appeared?

"His name is Li Desheng. My mother was forced to marry him out of necessity. They separated after I was born. Your grandpa was a live-in son-in-law, a discarded child from a family marriage. He was idle and did nothing. He even didn't come to your birth because he was playing chess."

Qin Tian could hear Gong Xiaoyue's helplessness and disgust towards her father and thought he should visit him sometime. After all, he had cheated on his grandpa, so he had to show some concern.

"I'll find time to visit him," Qin Tian said, nodding.

"You little rascal, what are you thinking of now? He's your grandfather after all." Gong Xiaoyue looked at Qin Tian warily.

"Do you think I'm such a bad person?" Qin Tian turned to look at Gong Xiaoyue, his eyes filled with grievance.

"Because you're just a little pervert who wasn't satisfied with eating your own mother, so you've eaten your own grandmother too," Gong Xiaoyue said.

"Looks like I need to reassert my role as a husband!"

Qin Tian hugged Gong Xiaoyue and rolled over on the bed, grinning wickedly as he tickled Gong Xiaoyue's armpits.

"Ah... so itchy... I was wrong, my husband, I was wrong... Hahaha..." "I'm sorry to have you doubting my character. I'm renowned for my integrity. I usually enjoy helping women and girls, forcing them into prostitution—ah, pah, persuading them to do good."

...

The two of them ended their date with a playful laugh. By the time they returned, daybreak had already begun.

"My husband, where did you buy these sesame balls?"

Early in the morning, Hu Jiuli devoured the sesame balls and curiously asked how such a mortal snack could appear here.

Qin Tian looked at the sesame balls and sesame seed cakes on the table. He had no appetite at all. He was still bloated. He hadn't eaten anything last night, and Gong Xiaoyue wouldn't let him throw them away, so he simply brought them back for Hu Jiuli and Yan Duo'er for breakfast.

"I bought some food just for you, so you can get a taste of the real world." "Husband, why aren't you eating?" Fox Jiuli looked at Qin Tian with a sly look on her face. She suspected he was hiding something from her.

"I'm not eating..."

"Why did you buy it if you weren't going to eat it?"

"I like it."

"Did you secretly go on a date with someone last night?"

As expected of a vixen, her guess was spot on.

"Really? Why are you so smart? Learn from Duo'er." Qin Tian was helpless.

"Huh? Husband, you called me?" Yan Duo'er looked up at Qin Tian with a puzzled expression, several sesame seeds stained the corners of her mouth.

"It's okay, just eat yours." Qin Tian covered his face, speechless.

Just then, Gong Xiaoyue arrived. She looked at Qin Tian, the tenderness still lingering in her eyes. She smiled sweetly and sat down at the table.

"Mother, this sesame ball is delicious. Would you like one?" Yan Duo'er handed the ball to Gong Xiaoyue.

"I'm not eating anymore. You should wipe your mouth. It's full of sesame seeds." Last night, Gong Xiaoyue had complained that eating sesame balls with sesame seeds on her mouth looked unsightly, so she took a small bite and gave it to Qin Tian.

As she spoke, she handed a handkerchief to Yan Duo'er.

"Thank you, mother..." Yan Duo'er blushed, lowering her head and wiping the sesame seeds from her mouth with a handkerchief.

"It's okay, we're all family." Gong Xiaoyue looked at her two daughters-in-law, still quite satisfied.

Qin Tian watched his mother and his two wives and concubines share a warm and loving life, and he resolved to protect them. They were all stronger than him, but they couldn't do anything to the Destiny Protagonist. Only he, the arch-villain, could deal with them.

There was a Destiny Protagonist who might threaten the Dao Luohen Immortal Dynasty and his mother in the future, so he planned to meet the girl whose body was ripped out by his mother.

Calculating, she should be 14 years old this year.

"Mother, I plan to go and deal with the Heavenly Dao Bone."

"Do you need me to go? If I go, I can just capture her and dig out the Heavenly Dao Bone." Gong Xiaoyue looked at her son and asked.

"No, I have my own plans. I'm going to observe first."

Qin Tian pondered for a moment, but ultimately declined. He planned to first determine what type of Destiny Protagonist the other party was. If they were useful, subduing them would be more valuable than killing them.

"Husband, do you want us to follow?" Hu Jiuli asked.

"No, it's convenient for me to go alone. Besides, this place is just a remote, impoverished country. I won't be in any danger there."

Qin Tian still planned to go alone. He had plenty of manpower. Xuanyong, Jiao Cai, and Ling Xiao were all within the map of mountains, rivers, and country, along with a number of other races and the Dan Pavilion. He had no shortage of manpower.

"I'm a little worried about you going alone. I'll send someone to follow you," Gong Xiaoyue suddenly smiled, her tone mysterious.

"Who is it?" he asked curiously, seeing her mother's expression.

"It's someone you know, so don't overthink it. You'll know when the time comes." Gong Xiaoyue said, glancing at Qin Tian's shadow.

After Qin Tian left, Yan Duo'er looked uneasy and nervous. She looked at Gong Xiaoyue and whispered, "Mother, I, I... I think I'm pregnant."

"!!!!!!!"

"What? Duo'er, are you sure?" Hu Jiuli was frightened by Yan Duo'er's words. She looked at her excitedly.

"I, I don't know. Yesterday, I felt something strange in my belly, but I couldn't figure out the cause. I wondered... if I was pregnant."

Yan Duo'er's voice trailed off. She was nervous and afraid. She was afraid this was all just an illusion.

"Let me see." Gong Xiaoyue instantly came to Yan Duo'er's side and placed her hand on her belly. Her expression was solemn. Qin Tian's child was no small matter.

Soon after.

Gong Xiaoyue's expression grew complex. She sighed and said, "Perhaps it's because you're a Sunflower, so it's a little hard to detect, but there are definitely signs of life emerging in your belly."

"Mother, you mean..." Yan Duo'er's entire body tensed.

Hu Jiuli, standing nearby, also grew nervous for her best friend Yan Duo'er.

Gong Xiaoyue smiled faintly and said, "It means you're going to be a mother, and I'm going to be a grandmother."

"Ah!"

After hearing Gong Xiaoyue's confirmation, Hu Jiuli excitedly hugged Yan Duo'er and said happily, "Duo'er, did you hear that? You're going to be a mother."

"Great, great..." Yan Duo'er touched her still-flat belly, tears welling in her eyes, her expression incredibly gentle.

"No, you're the first to bear my husband's child, and I'm the second. I've given you everything before, so don't try to snatch it from me."

Hu Jiuli was genuinely happy for Yan Duo'er, though she still felt a little envious. Ever since losing her son, Yan Duo'er had been immersed in grief and constantly blamed herself.

Now that she was pregnant, her inner wounds would heal.

Gong Xiaoyue glanced at Yan Duo'er's belly, a flicker of envy flashing in her eyes. But Yan Duo'er was carrying her grandson, so she felt more joy and happiness than envy.

Now that her son had a family and an heir, all her hopes for him had been fulfilled.

"However, your and Tian'er's bloodlines are too powerful. You are the Yanyang Emperor Flower, and Tian'er is of the Xianqin bloodline. Your child may take some time to show noticeable changes, and I don't know how long it will take."

Since ancient times, it has been extremely difficult for creatures with powerful bloodlines to produce offspring, especially two with powerful bloodlines. Even if they conceive, there will generally only be one, and the pregnancy will be very long. Some powerful ancient beasts can take hundreds or even thousands of years from conception to birth.

"I can wait," Yan Duo'er said with a smile.

"When my husband comes back, we'll give him a surprise. I'm curious what his expression will be when he finds out he's going to be a father," Hu Jiuli said from the side.
