Simu dropped her wolf-hair brush and leaped into Gu Lan's embrace, instinctively nuzzling her small head against Gu Lan's chest.
As she nuzzled, her tiny hands wandered, eventually finding the Spirit Fruit Gu Lan had prepared beforehand.
"My dear, I have returned," Simu chirped.
"Beloved..." Gu Lan replied tenderly, holding Simu close while eting Mu Yuyan's gaze.
*Crunch!*
Simu took a hearty bite of the Spirit Fruit, her delight palpable. Of course, her greater joy lay in relishing the delectable treat her father had bestowed upon her. Indeed, the Spirit Fruit from her father tasted far superior to any others.
"Father... Mumu loves you!"
In no ti, Simu had devoured one Spirit Fruit entirely.
"Well done, my dear. Here, have another," Gu Lan smiled, juggling motherhood and feeding her child with effortless grace.
Her eyes locked with her beloved wife's as she deftly handed another Spirit Fruit to their daughter.
Once Simu finished her second Spirit Fruit, Gu Lan waved her hand, conjuring a long table laden with various delicacies from the Immortal Realm, accompanied by intriguing low-grade magical treasures.
Upon seeing this, Simu's eyes sparkled with excitent as she dove into the ocean of food and toys.
She grabbed an Immortal Stage Spirit Peach and took a bite, then picked up a small wooden puppet, contorting it into various amusing poses.
anwhile, Mu Yuyan, intrigued, approached as well, only to have her delicate hand gently grasped.
"This is the Mountain Back Puppet. Despite its unassuming appearance, it can carry a weight of up to one hundred thousand catties and possesses remarkable intelligence. When Simu goes to study at the Su Family Manor, she can use this puppet as her attendant."
"Mumu, why don't you give it a na? It will be your servant from now on," Gu Lan suggested, holding her wife's hand and serving as a guide.
Though seemingly unremarkable, this small puppet possessed the strength of an early Imperial Stage cultivator, surpassing most cultivators in the mortal realm.
Its intelligence allowed it to carry out various commands from its master while concealing its true strength, making it difficult for others to perceive.
Among the collection of treasures, this small puppet held the highest rank.
Upon hearing the suggestion to na the puppet, Simu pondered thoughtfully for a mont. Then, patting the puppet's head, she declared, "Let's call it Dumb Dumb!"
With a nod of agreent, Simu held up the puppet, proudly seeking her father's approval.
"Very well, let it be Dumb Dumb," Gu Lan conceded with a resigned smile, her gaze filled with indulgence. Truly, her daughter was a mischievous little spirit.
With the puppet nad, Simu turned her attention to other magical treasures, showing interest in transformation puppets, colossal hamrs, or any other oddities, but displaying no interest whatsoever in items like jade lyres, picture albums, or floral spirits.
Well, her ti with Aunt Xiao Fei'er these past few days seed to have been in vain.
Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan indulged Simu's playful antics for a while before sunset.
At the perfect mont, Liu Yexi and Xiao Fei'er entered the hall to pay their respects.
Gu Lan waved her hand, presenting each with a unique ornant from the Star Picking Pavilion.
The two guests bead with delight, using Immortal Realm delicacies and treasures to entertain Simu as they left the Hall of Nurturing Harmony.
Gu Lan gently grasped Mu Yuyan's jade hand.
Without words, their eyes spoke volus, woven with myriad emotions...
As the moon ascended to its zenith, the night breeze whispered softly. Upon the dragon bed, Gu Lan recounted her encounters in the Immortal Realm.
Upon hearing how Gu Lan shattered the Blissful Immortal Palace's miniature world with a single sword, Mu Yuyan felt a surge of satisfaction.
This sword avenged countless youths and maidens who had suffered under the palace's tyranny.
Learning that her husband had obtained the Spirit Gathering Divine Herb from the Records of the Six Realms along with a plethora of spatial spirit stones filled Mu Yuyan with joy.
She marveled at her husband's remarkable fortune, truly deserving of the title "Destiny Boy." Indeed, he was a man worthy of her esteem.
After Gu Lan finished speaking, the couple shared an affectionate mont. However, Mu Yuyan couldn't help but shift the conversation to the changes in her own aura. Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
Naturally, there were no secrets between husband and wife, so she detailed everything from opening the secret realm of the Jing Nation's royal family to inheriting the legacy of the Snow Clan in the Immortal Realm, including her battles in the Black Tower.
The inheritance from the Immortal Realm Snow Clan had directly elevated Mu Yuyan's cultivation by a significant realm, explaining the profound changes in her aura and even her deanor.
At this mont, Mu Yuyan exuded a chilly sanctity, deterring any undue advances, a result of inheriting the fragnted mories of the Snow Clan's saintess.
From Mu Yuyan's description, Gu Lan learned that the Snow Clan in the Immortal Realm resembled guardians rather than a conventional clan.
The Snow Clan only existed to protect a certain treasure in the Immortal Realm.
However, the Immortal Realm's progeny, driven by avarice for this treasure, had launched a sneak attack on the entire Snow Clan, even resorting to foul play during the celebration of the Snow Clan's matriarch's birthday.
This treacherous assault, combined with collusion with the Poisonous Gate, had devastated the Snow Clan, including the demise of its saintess.
It seed the future of the Immortal Realm's Snow Clan was precarious at best. Gu Lan pondered deeply upon hearing this.
Realizing that his wife had inherited the legacy of the Immortal Realm Snow Clan, Gu Lan felt a sense of duty and responsibility.
Moreover, through Soul Searching, he learned that the leader of the Blissful Immortal Palace was planning to attend an event in the Immortal Realm hosted by the Immortal Realm progeny.
"It seems there's another target to deal with in the Immortal Realm," Gu Lan remarked casually. If it weren't for his wife's involvent, he wouldn't have paid any attention to this Immortal Realm progeny.
Nevertheless, since fate had intertwined their destinies, he would strike with full force if they ever crossed paths. If one sword wasn't enough, then a second would suffice.
anwhile, in the East Sea, in the quaint town of Green Mountain...
At the Liang Mansion, the largest cultivation family in Green Mountain...
Liang Qianhua, the eldest daughter of the Liang family and the most beautiful woman in Green Mountain...
Simultaneously, she was also a direct disciple of the Flower Sect and a renowned female sword cultivator in the East Sea.
Today, an unfamiliar man arrived at the Gu Family with a marriage proposal, causing a stir throughout Green Mountain.
"Have you heard? I've already found out the identity of that lad. He's just a poor boy from a small fishing village in the East Sea!"
"Tsk tsk, how could such a person have an engagent with the daughter of the Liang family? This promises to be an entertaining spectacle!"
"I've heard about this. It's said that the lad's parents once did a favor for the Liang family, which led to the engagent. But after the lad's family fell into ruin and lost contact with the Liang family, the engagent was forgotten. Now he actually dares to propose marriage? What is he thinking?!"
In the tavern, rumors flew, so true, so false. People envied, scorned, sympathized, or disparaged.
"Word has it that the lad's parents have passed away. The Liang family wouldn't just ignore their previous promise, would they? Even if the engagent is canceled, I hope there will be so compensation."
"At a ti like this, when the poor lad cos knocking, he clearly wants to make extravagant demands. Let's see if the Liang family will give him face."
"I'm afraid the Liang family will give face, but the Zhao family won't. Don't you know? Just a few days ago, the Gu family and the Zhao family were preparing for a marriage alliance."
"The people set to marry are the Liang family's eldest daughter and the second son of the Zhao family."
"A grand spectacle is about to unfold!"
People of the martial world loved drama. They didn't care whether the news was true or false. As long as it didn't affect them directly, they just wanted to stir up trouble, the more chaos, the better.
Maybe they could profit from it.
At this mont, the rumored poor lad sat upright in the Gu family's main hall.
This lad was none other than Chen Feng!
With the marriage proposal in hand, he faced the scrutiny of the Liang family's mbers with calm composure.
His expression was tranquil, his gaze unwavering.
The head of the Liang family couldn't help but feel a slight surprise at Chen Feng's composed deanor.
A poor boy from a small fishing village displaying such boldness was already quite rare. However, even so, he was still far from being worthy of his daughter!
He was prepared to offer so kind words, perhaps so treasures, to send Chen Feng away...
