Atan came to visit him and Mufeng. Mufeng was happy to receive him, and before he knew it, she started rambling on and on. Mu Chunfeng listened with a smile, his eyes fixed on Atan.

The Dragon God avoided the Phoenix God's nagging like the plague. Whenever Mu Feng talked nonstop, Long Xun felt a headache coming on and wished he could disappear immediately. Even though Mu Chunfeng felt close to Mu Feng, his ears would ring when Mu Feng started nagging.

I just want to find somewhere to hide and have some peace and quiet.

But A-Tan showed no impatience at all in the face of Mu Feng's nagging. With a smile in her eyes, she leaned back in her chair, crossed her legs, and listened attentively, raising her eyebrows. Although her posture was rather unladylike, she listened very attentively.

Mu Feng asked him, "I heard from A Xun that you're now taking on a task at the Fengxian Palace. How does it feel?"

A-Tan smiled, but a hint of bloodlust crept into his eyes as he said, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle. After going to the Sealing Immortal Palace, I discovered that there were more and more evil people than I had imagined. But it's alright, I took them all down."

Mu Feng sighed, reached out and patted his head, saying with heartache, "Good boy."

Atan raised an eyebrow, watching his hand land on the top of her head, and complained, "Uncle, please stop touching my head. I'm already growing slowly enough. What if I don't grow taller if you keep touching it?"

Although he said that, he tilted his head forward and took Mu Feng's hand, letting Mu Feng rub his dragon horns until she withdrew her hand before resuming her lazy and nonchalant manner.

Seeing his tsundere attitude, Mu Chunfeng pursed her lips and gave a faint smile, which was not as gentle as before, but seemed more genuine.

A-Tan, who wasn't looking at him, let out a soft "hmm," then suddenly turned her head and looked at him with interest, saying, "You look much better smiling than before today. What's wrong? Did something happy happen?"

Mu Chunfeng smiled and retorted, "I just saw a ridiculous person who says one thing and means another."

"It's my honor to win a smile from a beauty," A-Tan said shamelessly.

Mu Feng's gaze swept back and forth between the two of them, and she said meaningfully, "You haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't you go for a walk around?"

So A-Tan and Mu Chunfeng strolled side by side through the vast Phoenix Palace, chatting idly.

Ah Tan took on the job of punishing evildoers and fought desperately against villains for many years. Now, in addition to his domineering and arrogant aura, he has become even more ferocious. When he walks, his back is straight, and his steps are large and steady, exuding an aura of authority without anger.

The little child of yesteryear has grown into what she is today, yet Mu Chunfeng remains unchanged, wearing a gentle mask to conceal her twisted heart.

He couldn't expose his rotten inner self to Mu Feng, even though he knew Mu Feng actually knew what kind of person he was, he still didn't want to.

However, in front of the exceptionally straightforward and impolite A-Tan, Mu Chunfeng was too lazy to pretend. No matter how malicious or ulterior his intentions were, A-Tan would not mind.

It was very easy.

The ease brought him peace and warmth, and he gradually began to cherish these days of strolling and chatting with Atan.

A-Tan doesn't come very often. Except for the first time, every time he comes, he brings some small items he collected during his missions for Mu-Feng and Mu-Chun-Feng.

One day, A-Tan looked at Mu Chunfeng and asked him with a smile, "Have you been holding back for too long? Do you dare to go with me to kill someone?"

Why shouldn't we be afraid to bask in the spring breeze?

He didn't ask a single question and went with Atan.

Then it was discovered that A-Tan had also abducted the second son of the White Tiger clan's patriarch, along with the previous patriarch of the Black Tortoise clan, and together they led a group of passionate young dragons, phoenixes, white tigers, and black tortillas to form the Four Holy Guards.

Mu Chunfeng inexplicably became a member of the world's guardians, and together with A Tan, Hu Rong, and Xuan Shui, they were known as the Four Sacred Beasts, fighting to protect world peace.

To be honest... it's nothing like the life he envisioned for himself.

As the Four Holy Guards grew stronger, he and A-Tan grew closer. Facing the teasing looks from his two friends, Hu Rong and Xuan Shui, he simply smiled faintly.

Later... the Dragon God discovered the truth about his affair with Atan.

The Dragon God hated him. If Mu Feng and A Tan hadn't pleaded with him, the Dragon God would probably have killed this sinful man long ago.

He and A-Tan knelt outside the Dragon God Temple for a hundred years. Finally, the Dragon God relented and agreed that as long as he cleansed himself of his sins and karma, he could gain his approval.

Mu Chunfeng was overjoyed and went to the Temple of Gods without hesitation to accept the judgment.

He was the culprit who caused the war in the three realms, and the weight of his sins was unimaginable. The judgment he was handed down was also terrifyingly severe.

He didn't care. After saying goodbye to Atan, he went straight to the underworld and traveled through the eighteen hells. When he returned, the Dragon God indeed stopped preventing the two of them from meeting.

Not long after, the Dragon God descended to the mortal realm for reincarnation. Mu Chunfeng guessed that the reason was the Northern Celestial Emperor. However, he didn't care about such things and didn't say anything.

If he knew what happened later, he would tell Mu Feng everything he knew.

But he didn't know that.

The result of watching coldly was that when Atan realized something was wrong, she was trapped and killed by Beichen.

The moment Mu Chunfeng sensed that A Tan's presence had vanished, his mind went blank.

When he came to his senses, he had already arrived at the place where A-Tan had died. The aura emanating from the life-and-death battle between the Northern Immortal Emperor and A-Tan drove him mad.

He tricked Bei Chen, making Bei Chen believe that Atan's remnant soul still existed, forcing Bei Chen to come personally to kill him. But the moment Bei Chen appeared, he rushed forward without hesitation, hugged him tightly, and self-destructed.

At the moment of his death, Mu Chunfeng was smiling.

He thought his life had come to an end, but unexpectedly, he opened his eyes again.

In the memories brought by the reincarnation of his soul fragments, he saw A-Tan, and many lifetimes with A-Tan.

Before he even opened his eyes, tears welled up in his eyes.

It would be too cruel to wake up and never see you again. It's better to be reincarnated in this world. What does it matter if life is short? At least I can meet you again and be with you.

A low, husky chuckle sounded in my ear. The familiar, arrogant, and clear voice lowered itself and said softly, "Why are you crying as soon as you wake up?"

Mu Chunfeng suddenly opened his eyes and saw a familiar face smiling at him, with an arrogant and domineering air between his brows that could not be crushed even if the sky were to fall.

Mu Chunfeng trembled as she slowly called out to him, "A-Tan..."

Atan responded, took his hand, and sighed with a smile, "It's a pity, now we have to start our cultivation all over again."

Mu Chunfeng threw herself into his arms, hugged him tightly, and sobbed uncontrollably.

Thankfully, you're still here.

Otherwise... I don't know what I would become.

Mu Chunfeng felt a deep sense of gratitude towards fate and the Phoenix God.

Fate brought them together, and the Phoenix Goddess painstakingly rescued them after their souls were scattered.

That's really great.

As long as you're still here, nothing else matters.
