Chapter 2774 - 2773: The Word "Love

Chapter 2774: Chapter 2773: The Word "Love

After Long Fei and Ji Wanrong reached an agreement, Ji Wanyu burst in happily from outside, her face flushed with excitement as she looked at them.

Ji Wanrong laughed and scolded, "How old are you now, still doing things so recklessly?"

Ji Wanyu giggled and said, "Cultivators don’t care about age; I’ll always be my sister and brother-in-law’s little maid."

She asked Ji Wanrong happily, "Did sister agree to go to the Immortal Realm?"

Ji Wanrong nodded shyly.

Ji Wanyu smiled and said, "If we knew this earlier, we could’ve gone to the Immortal Realm long ago, instead of having brother-in-law come and get you."

Ji Wanrong blushed and admonished, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

She wanted to go to the Immortal Realm earlier but was afraid of disturbing Long Fei, so she remained here in seclusion, hoping to forget him.

Who knew that after all these years, this obstacle was impossible to overcome.

If it weren’t for Ji Shuiling, daughter of the Heavenly Court, helping her through tribulation, her Immortal Tribulation would have been very difficult to surpass.

Long Fei watched the two sisters cheer, bid them goodbye, and said, "You should prepare; I’m heading to the Immortal King Star."

"Of course!"

Ji Wanrong nodded and said, "Sister Ziling is Xian’er’s mother; she should be taken along to the Immortal Realm."

"Exactly!"

Long Fei nodded and, after saying goodbye, went alone to the Immortal King Star.

The debts he owed, he had to repay one by one.

After the Star-Devouring Tree connected the Nine Domains, they were now an inseparable unity.

However, each region’s Dharma Laksana developed differently, and the Immortal King Star remained a gathering place for traditional cultivators.

Over the years, the Immortal King Star’s green hills and waters have remained unchanged.

The customs are simple, and the cities are still as they were before.

Only occasionally some flying devices pass by in the sky, making people feel slightly distracted.

Long Fei came directly to the Celestial Realms Continent where Zhang Xian’er was in seclusion; originally, these suspended continents now have lost their initial significance.

Previously, there was a class division; cultivators lived on the suspended continent, while the poor ordinary people lived below.

Now the suspended continents are just ordinary places; under the management of the Nine Domains United Government, there’s no longer such a stark difference between ordinary people and cultivators.

On the Celestial Realms Continent where Zhang Xian’er was, the central road was lush and green, with only her being there.

The Immortal King Palace, after returning governance to the Nine Domains Empire, began to decline.

Previously, some sects were established here, but over time, even these sects disregarded this place.

Any cultivator with goals and aspirations headed to the Heavenly Court Continent.

This place, as the land of dragon prosperity, being Zhang Xian’er’s residence, was quite convenient to reach the Immortal Realm Continent.

The entire continent is very quiet.

Only the center area, filled with greenery, still tells the tale of past glory.

When Long Fei appeared, a woman sweeping leaves stared at him for a long time, her broom shivering on the ground as she turned and ran back, shouting, "Seventh Princess, the Consort Prince has returned."

Li Jinxuan experienced a moment of temporal confusion, as if returning to the time when she first met Long Fei.

Over the years, this Seventh Princess had long become Empress and even served as the Emperor of the Nine Domains Federation.

Later, she passed the throne to Zhang Xian’er, known as "Old Emperor."

Zhang Ziling didn’t like this title, so inside the palace without anyone else, Li Jinxuan continued to call her Seventh Princess.

Upon hearing this title, she could still recall the joyful times spent with Long Fei when she was just a girl.

Zhang Ziling was studying formations in the hall at the back; her cultivation talent lay in formations.

When she first met Long Fei, she was already starting to study the Celestial Grand Formation of the Universe.

Now, after these years, she’s still researching this formation.

The hall inside was sparkling full of star models she made with Light Gathering Stones.

On the floor below were arrays of formation flags, none exceeding one foot high; Zhang Ziling sat inside continuously arranging them, drawing down beams of starlight from above.

Li Jinxuan pushed open the hall door, and when the shouting came in, Zhang Ziling finally looked at her and admonished, "How many times have I told you not to interrupt me when I’m studying formations. Shouting like that, it’s no wonder you’ve remained unmarried!"

Li Jinxuan pursed her lips, thinking to herself that she’s stuck here to serve you in this matchmaking place.

She calmed herself and quickly said, "Seventh Princess, the Consort Prince has returned."

"Hm?"

Zhang Ziling raised her brow, curiously asked, "Which Consort Prince?"

She had many descendants across various Star Domains serving as Commandery Princesses.

Sometimes, descendants would come to visit her; she truly couldn’t tell which Consort Prince it was.

"The Consort Prince, your Consort, your husband!"

Li Jinxuan took a breath and spoke it all at once.

"Ah?"

Zhang Ziling was momentarily shocked, her Divine Sense already sensing the presence outside, urgently jumped up and shouted, "Why didn’t you tell me earlier? What should I wear? Look at me, I haven’t bathed well in days! You stop him outside, let me dress up properly first."

She jumped around nervously like a rabbit.

Li Jinxuan laughed, covering her mouth, thinking you say I’m flustered, aren’t you just like that?

She went outside, stopping Long Fei who was heading towards the hall.

She apologized repeatedly, "Consort Prince, please wait; the Princess is inside changing clothes, she’ll see visitors shortly."

"I acted rashly."

Long Fei smiled and nodded, asking her, "Aren’t you going inside?"

Li Jinxuan shook her head and said, "I will serve you here."

She was afraid Long Fei might rush in and see the Princess’s most awkward moments.

Long Fei asked her, "All these years, you’re still alone?"

Li Jinxuan broke into a cold sweat, thinking this Consort Prince and Princess are truly a couple, always discussing this matter.

She said to Long Fei, "I have to take care of my Princess; if I marry, wouldn’t the Princess be left alone?"

"Indeed!"

Long Fei nodded and praised, "You’re a good girl, you’ve worked hard all these years."

Li Jinxuan didn’t know why, but suddenly her heart felt a pang as she said to Long Fei, "I’m not tired; it’s my Princess who’s troubled, longing for you so much that she can only pass time by researching formations. Over the years you’ve been gone, she hasn’t let go of you."

Long Fei sighed lightly, "I know; this time I’ve returned specifically to take you all to the Immortal Realm."

"Really?"

Li Jinxuan cried joyfully, wiping her tears, "Oh my, my Princess has finally waited for this day."

"What day?"

The door opened, and Zhang Ziling, dressed in a purple gown with immortal aura, emerged from inside.

Li Jinxuan held her arm excitedly, saying, "Princess, the Consort Prince said he’ll take us to the Immortal Realm."

"Really?"

Zhang Ziling’s eyes flashed with excitement, but soon became forlorn as she instructed Li Jinxuan, "Go and prepare some food and drink; let’s have a good meal!"

"Alright, alright, I’ll go prepare right away!"

Li Jinxuan nodded and immediately went to the kitchen to prepare the meal.

Zhang Ziling invited Long Fei inside; the formation flags had been packed up, only the stars remained overhead.

Long Fei observed the setup and playfully asked, "Is this the Celestial Grand Formation of the Universe?"

Zhang Ziling nodded, "Yes, this formation is too intricate. I’ve been deducing these years but have just begun to understand the Twenty-Eight Constellations."

"That’s already quite impressive!"

Long Fei sat down, looked at the Light Gathering Stones overhead, and adjusted a few positions, saying, "Your formation is too rigid; actually, each constellation is interconnected and forms angles with each other. As the saying goes, one decreases while another grows, Yin Yang turns mutually. Each star is in motion, cooperating and depending on each other."

Zhang Ziling listened quietly and saw the hall suddenly brighten.

After Long Fei moved a few stars, although one constellation dimmed, the energy transferred to another constellation, enhancing its brightness instantly.

Her Divine Sea stirred, and she clapped her head, exclaiming, "So that’s it; I always followed the rules, trying to balance the energy equally among the constellations."

Long Fei laughed, "The moon waxes and wanes; where in the world is there absolute equilibrium?"

"Indeed!"

Zhang Ziling’s expression suddenly turned saddened, "In the world, things rarely go perfectly as desired."
