wei Garden… You don’t need to worry.” The little boy comforted.My goodness, Jiang Qiyun's background is simply...The highest in Taoism are the Three Pure Ones, followed by the Four Emperors. These Fou..."You should take some time to rest at home for now. Don't go to the Witch King's City," said my senior brother, Jun.

This makes me even more confused.

With a head full of questions, I returned to the room. Mu Wanchen had already washed up and was organizing my vanity for me.

It was really out of place to see a big man sitting in front of my vanity. He seriously went through my entire vanity, carefully packing away all the books, talismans, and little paper figures used for messages into delicate wooden boxes one by one.

"You need to learn how to use these. The techniques and incantations aren't difficult, your current spiritual cultivation is sufficient for use." He didn't look up, concentrating on placing things carefully.

I saw him lower his head slightly in the mirror, his brows like distant mountains and his eyes like stars.

The more I look, the more it seems like a fairy from a painting.

But he was not ethereal and intangible, but tangible, warm, and soft.

“What are you doing” he asked with a slight smile, tilting his head to look at me.

I hugged him from behind, resting my chin on his head and rubbed against it deliberately. "The King of the Witches cares very much for his people, doesn't he Perhaps I should still go back with you"

Mu Wanchen chuckled softly: "Little Lu'er~ Your father and your senior brothers and sisters would love to keep you under their wing. You've just returned home after such a dangerous adventure, and you're injured. How could they bear to let you go back to the Wu Wang city"

"Oh my, but the Witch King is so worried, I wouldn't feel right just looking after myself... To be honest, if you're concerned about divine retribution, I'll go back with you. It's better to deal with anything quickly." I said seriously.

Mulan Chen reached out and pinched my cheek. "It's my fault for causing you so much worry, isn't it It's normal for your master to be concerned, after all, the art of shifting stars and changing battles will affect the cycle of birth and death in the Three Realms..."

"Then what use is it to you!"

"...Your life and death are unknown, your whereabouts a mystery. Where could I possibly concern myself with such things The Ten Witches of Ling Mountain were among the first immortals, though they have long since become legend. However, the celestial deities in the Nine Heavens wouldn't act for the sake of a single spell against an unknown." His tone was unfazed.

I heard him sigh, very softly, so softly it was almost as if I imagined it.

Though we were close enough to hear each other's heartbeats, how could I possibly hide this soft sigh

"... After retreating from the temple and seeking refuge in a secluded corner for more than two thousand years, Peach Blossom Fairyland is nothing but a place of self-comfort. There is no place free from calamity throughout the Three Realms and Ten Directions. Crossing tribulation is the law of natural selection. The previous earthquake was already a sign of calamity."

Mu Wanchen held me in his lap, his voice soft as he spoke into my ear, like he was telling me a story.

The warm sunshine of late autumn, leaves casting oblique shadows across the window.

This seems to be the first time we've been this lazy and cuddly together while talking.

"I've sent Ah Liang to bring some things over for you. You can do whatever you want with them." He rubbed my ear.

Aling

"What are you transporting it for You could just bring it here directly to me...Do you need to have it transported" I asked in confusion.

"I can't bring it, I have too much stuff. This gives him a chance to come out and learn. He's young and picks up new things quickly."

This is very curious, what exactly did it give me

I tried to soften him up and get an answer, but Mu Wanchen just shook his head. Sometimes he'd smile and say "just wait and see."

"...This period has been so bumpy and tiring, I was worried you would be exhausted both physically and mentally, but holding you in my arms, it seems like...you've even put on some weight." Mu Wanchen chuckled and lightly kissed my jawline.

"Huh Could my round face have developed a double chin!"

I instinctively reached up to touch the fleshy bit on my chin, but he grabbed my wrist and brought it to his hand that was already behind me, fastening it there.

Such tenderness makes me sink into it, it turns out that being close to someone you like is so hard to part with.

The results of an inseparable bond are not good, I walk with a lightness in my step.

Mu Wanchen couldn't stay here for long. Before dawn, he hurried back to Wuzhuang City to prevent his people from panicking—feeling that their king was detached and uncaring about them.

I understand, so after I woke up, I played by myself. It was only when my fifth senior sister reminded me that I remembered I still had to "go to school".

I chewed on half a mouthful of noodles, staring blankly at my fifth senior sister. She shoved my book into my bag and, crossing her arms, said: “Your head teacher called, asking if you still want to be in the special class If you fail your final exams, hmph, get ready to scrub the floor with a washboard outside the eldest brother's courtyard!”

"As if I'm an adult, aren't I..." I mumbled quietly.

"Hey, you! You're just a little girl who's new to this kind of thing! You've fallen head over heels already! Look at you, you used to run around all day! Now you just stay cooped up in your room!" The fifth senior sister said, crossing her arms.

I shrank my neck and dared not reply, there was indeed a bit of…

"Well, big brother bought you a new phone again, the latest model, it must have cost a fortune." She handed him a phone.

I gleefully took it and said, "I'll go to class today! Hey, is there class today"

"Yes!!"

Fifth Sister didn't care if I was newly married, indulging in romantic bliss. She came knocking early in the morning to wake me up and get me breakfast before shooing me off to study.

I stepped out of the door and waited for my ninth senior brother to drive out. I was looking down at my phone, when the paper figurine in my bag suddenly moved, crawling out from the zipper gap.

"Little Princess!"

"......Are you trying to give me a heart attack!" I quickly poked the little paper figure.

"Your Highness, I'm lost!"

"Ah, ah!"

"I'm now at... a place with a sign that says 'Zhang Zhuang'. I asked several passersby, but none of them know where your house is."

"Haven't you been here before!"

"I... I rarely drive out! All those high bridges are making me dizzy!"

Oh no, oh no, what am I going to doave open the night and brought me to a hillside.Here, the lights were bright, and as soon as he appeared, people shouted his name.Mu Wanchen left me standing there, whistled a tune, and a mountain eag...
