He looked at the young master Wangshu with newfound respect.

Well... their connections are really strong.

The Six Paths Immortal Lord felt that his immortal life was doomed.

He put the Empress's beloved disciple into the Tower of Reincarnation, and even made the Heavenly Emperor's beloved disciple fall in love with this girl. He offended both sides!

"Congratulations, Heavenly Lord! Congratulations, Young Lord!" This time, the Six Paths Immortal Lord presented himself with great poise, dressed impeccably and exuding elegance as he offered his congratulations.

"It's all thanks to you." Wang Shu Shaojun revealed a meaningful smile.

Tears welled in Liudao Xianjun's eyes, but he put on a kind smile and said, "It's all fate that brought you two together."

"You've had a tough time in the Tower of Reincarnation," Xuanxi Tianjun said with pity.

What a load of rubbish! The worst thing would be if my Reincarnation Tower broke down.

The Six Paths Immortal Lord silently grumbled to himself.

However, he dared not speak out against his anger. Seeing that Wang Shu Shaojun did not intend to pursue the matter, he finally showed a slightly relaxed smile. Just as he was about to say something, he felt a tightening around his waist.

A bright green snake tail bound him.

The Six Paths Immortal Lord stroked the tail expressionlessly, then turned around and stuffed a golden page into each of Little Willow's nine large heads.

"That's too little." The serpent demon protested immediately, saying that they used to be given a whole book, but now they were only given one page.

"Too many heads," the Six Paths Immortal Lord said coldly.

If all nine of Xiao Liu's heads were to work at the same time and each devour an entire book, the serpent could eat him up tomorrow!

Faced with the rare sternness of the Six Paths Immortal Lord, the demon snake merely twitched its tail, lowered its large head in a pitiful manner, and silently gnawed at the golden pages of the book.

It seemed much more obedient. Liu Dao Xianjun had only dared to say this one sentence, intending to bow down and offer the remaining pages of the book if the serpent refused. But Xiao Liu had actually yielded. A smug expression appeared on his face as he gently stroked one of Xiao Liu's big heads and said, "Be good, ah! If you're good, I'll give you extra food later."

"Be obedient." The serpent nuzzled the handsome young man's face.

"Immortals are truly the most cunning beings in the Three Realms," Wang Shu Shaojun remarked with a sigh, observing the scene before him.

“He is an exception,” Xuanxi Tianjun said without hesitation.

He paused for a moment, and seeing his lover smile, he couldn't help but smile back with a sense of relief.

Looking across the Three Realms, the Celestial Court, a peaceful and harmonious world, he and she will live as long as heaven and earth, and have a long life together.

This is the world he truly desires.

Instead of each time... only a few decades have passed, and I have to watch her die in front of me.

He could no longer endure that kind of pain.

"We will be together forever." He held her hand and kissed her fingertips reverently.

Wang Shu Shaojun smiled and nodded as well. At this moment, she also felt that this was the most peaceful world they could live together.

She thought of her master, who had helped her and then left so quickly. Her other wish—to find her master—had also been fulfilled, making her exceptionally happy. Yet, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "The Heavenly Emperor and my master... seem to have a very good relationship. Are they always together?"

Although the Heavenly Emperor was still very annoying, Wang Shu Shaojun had never hated a celestial being so much. However, considering that this guy had only bullied his subjects a little, only slapped him a few times, and only refused to let him marry Xuan Xi... he still felt so angry.

She tried to maintain a smile, but asked Xuanxi Tianjun with difficulty, "Just like us? How did they get together?"

She was full of gossip about her master.

After all, being the wife of the Heavenly Emperor is such a legendary position!

She never imagined that such a celestial being would appear in her life.

“Your master forced my master into marriage.” Xuanxi Tianjun knew a bit about the love story between the two and said in a low voice.

Wang Shu Shaojun gasped.

Forced marriage?!

Her eyes were always full of gossip.

“Three hundred thousand years ago, in the Eight Desolations, there were three Immortal Emperors.” Xuanxi Tianjun lowered his voice, afraid that his master would catch him when he was explaining this to his beloved, and said in more detail, “Among them, the Eastern Immortal Emperor was exceptionally handsome, and his master’s wife pursued him for tens of thousands of years... but unfortunately, they were not destined to be together.”

"No fate" is just a polite way of saying they're not meant to be; that Eastern Immortal Emperor is utterly heartless. The beautiful woman pursued him with unwavering devotion for millennia, only to be met with the final words, "I consider you a friend; you're a good woman," and that was it. Thinking of this, Xuanxi Heavenly Lord felt a deep gratitude towards Heaven.

At least he and his wife Shushu were mutually in love, which saved them a lot of trouble.

"And then your master made a move?" Wang Shu Shaojun had clearly forgotten what forced marriage meant, and asked eagerly.

Xuanxi Tianjun suddenly hesitated for a moment.

“Back then, Master had also just broken up with his girlfriend… and after comforting each other for a long time, they developed real feelings for each other.” He said even more softly.

This statement utterly astonished Wang Shu Shaojun, who exclaimed in shock, "Are there women in the Three Realms who would refuse the Heavenly Emperor?"

Xuanxi Tianjun's lips twitched silently.

“My mother,” he said, his gaze darting around.

This ancient gossip is exceptionally complicated. Wang Shu Shaojun thought hard for a long time before he finally understood the relationship between them, and couldn't help but sigh deeply, "Your circle is really messy."

This whole mess of "you love me, I don't love you, I love him," "we comfort each other," and all that...

"Let's live a peaceful life from now on," she said seriously.

Xuanxi Tianjun couldn't help but smile again. His heart was filled with joy, and he couldn't resist leaning over to kiss the corner of his lover's eye.

"good."

He also thought that his daughter Shushu was really innocent and cute.

Although the affairs of the Heavenly Emperor were not widely known in the Three Realms, they caused quite a stir back then, and many immortals knew about them.

But Wang Shu Shaojun, who had entered the Celestial Court to work for the Heavenly Emperor, was completely indifferent to her superior. What an innocent and naive immortal she must be! He liked Wang Shu Shaojun; he thought she was wonderful in every way, even her ignorance was endearing and innocent. He felt Wang Shu Shaojun brush her forehead against his and ask softly, "Should I go and pay my respects to your father and mother?"

“Our father and mother are forever trapped underground; we will never see them again,” Xuanxi Tianjun said with a smile, stroking her head.

"Could it be that the Heavenly Emperor is giving me a hard time?" Wang Shu Shaojun's mind immediately darkened.

Xuanxi Tianjun felt that the Heavenly Emperor must have heard these words.

Because from the distant abode of the Heavenly Emperor, the Heavenly Emperor's roar once again resounded.

He thought for a moment, then decided to share the burden with his beloved Shushu, and nodded seriously, saying, "Probably..."

The distant celestial palace fell silent for a moment.

A moment later, an even louder roar erupted.
