The last time Yuan Xi went to Luoshen Abyss, he found his body that had sunk into Luoshen Abyss. His spirit and soul returned, and his body and soul merged together.
Because his body had been corroded in the Luoshen Abyss for too long, all the flesh and blood on the surface of his body were removed, leaving only a skeleton as white as cold jade. After the fusion, he had to temporarily stay on a small island in the Luoshen Abyss to recuperate and recover.
The pain that comes with the regeneration of muscle and blood is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. As his body recovers bit by bit, his strength is also gradually recovering, but there is still a gap from his former peak period.
However, it is only a matter of time before it is fully recovered.
The moment his body recovered, he rushed back immediately.
Originally, he had expected that as soon as he emerged from Luoshenyuan and regained his freedom, he would contact his subordinates, return to the divine realm, and take back everything that belonged to him.
But now, his heart has been tied to Huanhuan and Subao, and he is willing to be tied to them.
The matter of returning to the divine realm must be postponed, at least until Subao is born, and until Huanhuan grows up and has the strength to protect herself.
Otherwise he wouldn't feel at ease at all.
Also because of the mother and daughter, he had to make careful plans and preparations for returning to the divine realm. He couldn't let Huanhuan and Subao have any chance of being hurt.
Recently, Minghong has been running around under Yuanxi's instructions.
When he first learned that the Emperor had regained his freedom, he was extremely happy. However, he never expected that the Emperor who had been so cruel and ruthless ten thousand years ago and had been feared by the entire God Realm would one day fall in love with an ordinary woman! He was even willing to stay in such a shabby place for her!
Even the matter of revenge was postponed.
Ming Hong's heart was filled with complex emotions. He lowered his head and said, "Reporting to the Emperor, the Goddess Huabi has been waiting for you all these years, keeping a close eye on the movements of my subordinates. I have been contacting old subordinates recently, and I'm afraid the Goddess Huabi has noticed something. She has been coming to me, wanting to inquire about your recent situation. Although I have been perfunctory in my attempts, the Goddess Huabi is always persistent and I'm afraid she won't believe me. I'm worried..."
Before he could finish his words, Yuan Xi waved his palm and knocked him away. Ming Hong crashed into the barrier, but the barrier did not move at all. However, Ming Hong suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Yuan Xi walked over step by step. "Ming Hong, do you think that after all these years of silence, I, the Emperor, have become soft-hearted? A mere Hua Bi has left you helpless, and yet you have come all the way to me? Why, has she been looking for you all these years, and has she tempted you to lead her?"
Ignoring the severe pain in his body, Ming Hong hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I would never dare to do that! I will send Hua Bi away when I get back and will never let her bother you again."
Yuan Xi was still not satisfied, and his figure disappeared instantly. Noticing his departure, Ming Hong guessed what he was going to do, and was horrified. However, the barrier trapped him tightly, and he couldn't get out at all.
Ming Hong regretted deeply and was extremely anxious. Just as Yuan Xi had just said, he was indeed attracted to the Goddess Hua Bi!
The Goddess Hua Bi is of noble status, pure and innocent, and has a special affection for the Emperor. Even though the Emperor was exiled to the Divine Abyss, she has remained devoted to him for so many years and would come to him every once in a while to inquire about the Emperor's news.
Over time, he discovered that he actually had feelings for the Goddess Hua Bi. By the time he realized it, the figure of the Goddess Hua Bi had already firmly occupied his heart.
That's why he could do nothing to her.
Who would have thought that the Emperor could see through his thoughts at a glance!
He didn't even care about the feelings of the Goddess Hua Bi towards him and was going to get rid of her!
Ming Hong continuously attacked the barrier, trying to break it, but it remained firmly entrenched. He sat dejectedly on the ground, looking at the small building not far away, his eyes filled with pain.
That mortal woman holds such an important position in the emperor's heart.
The Emperor would not tolerate any hidden dangers that would threaten her safety!
Not long after, Yuan Xi came back and threw an ice jade hairpin in front of Ming Hong.
"Since you've been with me for so many years, I won't kill her this time. I'll even grant your wish. Take this hairpin to her, and she'll naturally fall in love with you. Go now. From now on, you're not allowed to come here again unless I summon you."
Ming Hong originally thought that the Emperor would kill the Goddess Hua Bi, but he didn't expect the result to be much better than he imagined. He was overjoyed and grabbed the hairpin in his hand, kneeling deeply on the ground, "Thank you, Emperor."
Yuan Xi said "hmm" lightly, waved his hand to remove the barrier, and Minghong turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared on the spot just like when the Tathagata came.
Xue Huan was refining medicine in the space, and she had no idea what was happening in the yard.

Narcissus Pavilion.
When Wang Chuci woke up, he found himself lying on the bed, his clothes gone, wearing only shorts. A young and beautiful woman was sitting beside the bed, smearing a black, sticky paste on him. He was horrified and jumped up, "What are you doing? Where is this?"
The young woman was the maid who served in the No. 1 private room that day. Her name was Minglong and she was sent by Qingyuan to take care of Wang Chuci.
The black paste she applied to Wang Chuci was exactly the pulse-replenishing paste that Xue Huan had brought. Minglong had already fed Wang Chuci the recovery pill for treating the dantian.
Seeing Wang Chuci startled as soon as he woke up, like a virgin whose innocence had been taken away, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
She said unhappily, "This is Narcissus Pavilion. I'm applying medicine to you. Lie down and don't move. Otherwise, the ointment will get on the sheets and I won't clean it for you."
Wang Chuci lay down in a daze. "Apply medicine? What medicine?"
"The blood-repairing ointment can heal your broken tendons and veins."
"What? Is it true?!" Wang Chuci couldn't help but sit up again.
Minglong slapped him down. "What do you think? Should we go to all that trouble to find fake medicine for you? Don't you realize that your injuries are already mostly healed?"
Wang Chuci felt it and found that the pain in his body was gone! His shattered dantian was also healed!
What was going on? Was he dreaming?
After applying the medicine, seeing his dazed look, Minglong explained, "You were thrown to the door of our Narcissus Pavilion by the Wang family. Aunt Qingyuan had you carried in and told Master Zhao about your condition. Master Zhao then specially refined a Recovery Pill to restore your Dantian, and this Pulse Repairing Ointment to restore your tendons and veins. You're truly blessed!"
Wang Chuci recovered from his shock and kept saying, "Thank you, thank you so much..."
Minglong washed and dried his hands. "No need to thank me. This is the bill. Just pay me back when you get better."
Knowing that Wang Chuci couldn't raise his hand yet, Minglong held up the bill for him to see.
Wang Chuci saw that it was written: Recovery Pill is 80,000 low-grade spirit stones, Xumai Paste is 30,000 low-grade spirit stones, and accommodation fee (including food, tea, clothing, etc.) is 100 spirit stones per day.
Looking at the bill, Wang Chuci fell silent.
