The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

2519 Side Story 23: Longevity Lock

Tuan Zi rubbed her wet eyes and straightened her body. “Godly Phoenix Mountain?”

“Yes.” Yi Zhao sighed. “Speaking of which, I haven’t gone back in too long. Besides… I have to personally undo the seal on Godly Phoenix Mountain.”

Back then, many strange things had happened. He knew that something was amiss and sealed the entire Godly Phoenix Mountain in his panic, commanding the clansmen to hibernate.

Now that everything was over, he should return to handle these.

Tuan Zi heard it and was instantly elated as she nodded forcefully. “Okay, okay!”

Actually, she had thought of this previously. Judging from her strength after she opened her ninth meridian, it wasn’t that she could not solve it.

However, that was the seal Clan Leader Yi Zhao left behind, so she felt that it was better for him to deal with it. Of course, this contained the desire and hope for Yi Zhao to quickly wake up.

Yi Zhao saw her adorable appearance and felt even more emotional. Luckily… Luckily, everything has settled and is turning for the better.

Thinking of this, he looked to the side. “Zi Chen hasn’t woken up?”

Speaking of which, Tuan Zi pouted. “Yeah, but Senior Miao Zhen said that he might be better in a while.”

Now that Yi Zhao had recovered, this was the only thing she was worried about…

“That’s great.” Yi Zhao nodded. “Let me inform the Emperor and Goddess Yue before we go back.”

…

Chu Liuyue naturally approved of Yi Zhao’s suggestion.

Previously, she had agreed that she would bring Tuan Zi back when she had the time. However, many things had happened and she could not find the time.

Now that there were many matters to handle at Godly Phoenix Mountain, it was right for Tuan Zi to follow Yi Zhao back.

Originally, she wanted to follow them. It was a pity that she was pregnant, and the three priests and Thirteen Yue Guards kept stopping her.

That’s right—Diwu Zhangze had become one of the three priests. However, he didn’t really care about this himself. Recently, he had been waiting for the lightning pool to be repaired as he wanted to reform his physical body as soon as possible.

Hence, while Si Jing was in charge of repairing the lightning pool, he regularly saw Diwu Zhangze’s figure at the side.

Tuan Zi naturally couldn’t bear to leave her for long. She agreed to return back as soon as possible after settling the matters.

Even though Chu Liuyue was reluctant, Tuan Zi was the red-gold heavenly phoenix clan’s young mistress after all, and she should return to take a look.

Hence, Tuan Zi followed Yi Zhao back to Godly Phoenix Mountain, and they brought Zi Chen with them.

Ever since Chu Liuyue passed Zi Chen to her, she took special care of him.

Before Tuan Zi left, she even specifically found Yun Muchen and wanted to trick him into exposing something. It was a pity that it did not succeed. She could only return sadly and planned to find him again after she returned.

…

Chu Liuyue put down the few herbs in her hands and looked up strangely. “Is Xiao Ba unwell?”

“Yeah, she went back to her house to sleep early in the morning. She seemed to have not slept well last night.” Lady Shiyi nodded.

Chu Liuyue was in deep thought and saw Lady Shi’er hesitant with her words. Then, she asked, “Shi’er, is there something you would like to say?”

“Huh? N-no…” Lady Shi’er hurriedly denied, but her voice became increasingly softer. “Eighth Sister didn’t let us say it…”

Chu Liuyue’s lips curled up slightly. “What, does she have someone she likes?”

Lady Shi’er immediately widened her eyes in shock.

Lady Shiyi was calmer. “Master, you long knew of this?”

Chu Liuyue held her chin with one hand. “Not too long ago. Besides, I wasn’t sure at the start, but now… I think so.”

Hearing her say this, Lady Shi’er finally put down her burden and could not help but ask, “T-then, Master, you should know who Eighth Sister likes, right?”

In her eyes, Master was invincible.

Chu Liuyue tapped her forehead lightly. “Nosy. Since Xiao Ba refuses to say it, then I naturally can’t say it.”

Such matters are up to the people involved.

Lady Shi’er felt regretful. However, they never disobeyed Chu Liuyue’s words, so she nodded obediently. “Okay then.”

After speaking for a while, Chu Liuyue brought the two of them home.

They had been busy repairing the Holy Jade of Chaos recently, and it used up their energy very quickly. Thus, they ate even more than before. Luckily, the current Fantasy Divine Palace could afford to provide for them.

After they left, Chu Liuyue fell into deep thought. She thought of something, and her lips curled up slightly.

“What are you thinking about?” Rong Xiu walked over from behind and gently asked,

Chu Liuyue turned back to look at him and raised her brows slightly. “Why didn’t I see the Left Divine General today?”

Rong Xiu kissed her forehead. “Your husband is right here. Why do you care about others?”

Chu Liuyue glanced at him in a seemingly smiling manner. “He’s your person. I naturally should care for him more.”

Rong Xiu sat down leisurely, poured a cup of tea, and touched the porcelain teacup. “Are you sure that you’re not preparing for him to become your person?”

Chu Liuyue could not help but laugh. “Can you bear with it? That’s your confident general that you nurtured with much difficulty.”

Rong Xiu raised his eyebrows and glanced at her. “Even I’m yours, let alone the rest. Whatever you want, you can take it as long as I have it.”

His tone was ordinary, as if he was saying something rightful.

Chu Liuyue’s heart felt warm, but she still grunted on the surface. “That’s a big present from you.”

Rong Xiu’s gaze landed on her stomach as he smiled with deep meaning and said, “That’s fine. Yue’er, you have already repaid me with two big presents.”

Chu Liuyue: “…”

“Yue’er! Yue’er!?” At this point, footsteps could be heard from outside.

Chu Liuyue raised her eyes. “Father?”

The incoming person was Shangguan You.

A few days ago, Yu Mo had fetched Shangguan You, Chu Ning, and the rest over.

Previously, they had seen quite a bit of what happened through the 3,000 mirrors left in the human realm. Hence, during the first two days that they were here, they were very worried and anxious, and they talked to Chu Liuyue for a long time.

Even if everything was settled, they couldn’t help but feel pained when they thought of that day.

Luckily, Chu Liuyue’s pregnancy had successfully averted their attention. Recently, they had been focusing on this.

Shangguan You came to them and nodded at Rong Xiu, signaling that he did not have to stand up. Then, he walked to Chu Liuyue and carefully took out two items from his sleeves.

He said enthusiastically, “Yue’er, quickly see what this is!”

Chu Liuyue leaned over and saw two intricate longevity locks in Shangguan You’s hand.

The silver longevity locks were meticulously embedded with crystal rubies. Under the light, they shone brightly and were very beautiful.

Chu Liuyue’s eyes brightened up. “This is…”

“I made them myself! How is it? Is it nice?” Shangguan You asked passionately. “The color is coincidentally the same as your God Realm!”

Chu Liuyue took the two longevity locks. “Thank you, Father. It looks very nice.”

As she spoke, she saw the flowers engraved on it.

She paused. “Father, this seems… a little too exaggerated?”
