Figures fluttered, auspicious light bloomed, and sword energy surged.
Lou Munan and Xiaoyue sparred, and Lou Munan won without a doubt. His sparring with Xiaoyue was just like toying with a child. Xiaoyue was a little discouraged, puffing out his cheeks: "Why am I still so weak?"
"No way, you've improved a lot since then. You're improving very quickly." Lou Munan smiled and patted Xiaoyue's head.
Xiaoyue looked at him, and her eyes immediately lit up: "Really?"
"Of course, when has your uncle ever lied to you?" Lou Munan said with a gentle smile.
"When will I be as good as my uncle?" Xiaoyue asked with a smile.
"This..."
Lou Munan looked troubled, then smiled and patted Xiaoyue's head again: "Then you still need to work hard for a long time."
Xiaoyue was a little discouraged, but he quickly cheered up and said, "I'll try as long as I want."
"That's ambitious," Lou Munan said with a smile.
They walked back together. Xiao Yue walked beside Lou Munan, looking up at him repeatedly. Suddenly, he laughed and skipped in front of Lou Munan. He looked at Lou Munan, patted his chest, and said:
"Uncle, Uncle, I will definitely become more amazing than you in the future."
"Uh-huh."
"I want to become the most powerful Immortal Emperor in all the heavens and myriad realms."
Lou Munan smiled and nodded: "Mhm, and then?"
Xiaoyue looked at him with a smile and said, "Then I can protect you."
The sunlight gently bathed the earth, and the tender green grass rippled in the wind. A man with black hair and golden eyes and a boy in a white robe stood on the hillside, looking into each other's eyes, which were almost identical.
Hearing what the boy said, the man was stunned for a moment before revealing an incredibly gentle smile. The smile was so gentle that A Yao almost didn't recognize the person in front of her. Was he really the Demon Lord Xuan Tian?
"Okay, I'll wait for that day."
Lou Munan smiled and took Xiaoyue's hand.

The scene shifts to a restaurant.
Lou Munan and Xiao Yue were sitting somewhere in the restaurant, enjoying delicious food and wine. People around them looked at Lou Munan and Xiao Yue, but when they saw that Lou Munan was surrounded by a celestial light, making it impossible to see his face, they immediately looked away, not daring to look any longer.
"Uncle, I want to drink too." Xiaoyue saw Lou Munan drinking and wanted to drink as well.
"No, children shouldn't drink alcohol." Lou Munan removed the wine pot from his hands.
"I'm not a little kid anymore, I want to drink, I want to drink!" Xiaoyue pouted. His pouting was so adorable. Ayao thought of Feng Chu; although she had never seen Feng Chu pout, she figured he must pout like this too, right?
When Xiaoyue started to act cute, Lou Munan couldn't resist. He poured Xiaoyue a glass of tea with a headache and said, "You're only allowed to drink one glass."
"Okay." Xiaoyue giggled.
He held the wine glass in his two small hands and took a small sip.
The guests next to him were talking, and some of their words reached Lou Munan's ears:
"Did you hear that? The Great Sun Golden Crow Clan and the Celestial Race are going to form a marriage alliance."
"A marriage alliance? Who's marrying whom?"
"Your Majesty Yan Tang and the Heavenly Emperor."
Lou Munan froze upon hearing this.
Ayao was also stunned. The Heavenly Emperor? The Emperor of the Celestial Race? That...that's Jingxin Wuchen, isn't it?
"Yan Tang is going to marry Jing Xin Wu Chen?" She looked at the Black Nest Master beside her in disbelief.
The Lord of Black Nest nodded.
"Yan Tang, she, didn't she like Lou Munan? She said before that she didn't like Jingxin Wuchen, and that the two of them were going to be married..." A Yao felt extremely complicated.
“Yan Tang doesn’t need to use a fake marriage to solidify her position. She and Jing Xin Wuchen are truly together. Lou Munan betrayed her, and they have severed all ties. So what’s so surprising about her falling in love with someone else?” said the Lord of the Black Nest.
Ayao lowered her head and remained silent.
After a while, she looked at Lou Munan.
"Uncle, uncle, uncle?" Seeing Lou Munan standing motionless, Xiaoyue called out a few times in surprise.
Lou Munan finally came to his senses.
"Uncle, what's wrong? Why are you spacing out?" Xiaoyue blinked and asked.
Lou Munan forced a smile at Xiaoyue and patted her head: "It's nothing. I was just thinking about some things. Once you've drunk this glass of wine, you can't drink any more."
"Oh, okay," Xiaoyue said disappointedly.
The people around them were discussing Yan Tang and Jing Xin Wu Chen's marriage with great interest.
"Between His Majesty Yan Tang and the Heavenly Emperor, who is actually marrying whom?"
"I don't know about that."
"Maybe it'll be the Heavenly Emperor who marries her, hahaha..."
"I never expected that the Sun Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor would eventually become Daoist partners."
"Yes, back then everyone thought she and Gongsun Nan..."
The man stopped mid-sentence, seemingly flustered that he had mentioned a name he shouldn't have. He then immediately stated the wedding date of Yan Tang and Jingxin Wuchen.
Xiao Yue wasn't interested in what the people next to him were saying; he just kept eating. After he had eaten his fill, Lou Munan took him back to the cultivation star where they were currently living.
Ayao could tell that Lou Munan still loved Yan Tang. She wondered if Lou Munan would try to steal her away from her. But with Yan Tang's strength, if she didn't want to leave, who could take her away?
However, will Lou Munan go to see her before her wedding?
