Xie Daoyun wiped the fine sweat from Ji Xiaoxi's forehead and looked towards the Heavenly Palace: "I wonder how Brother Zu is doing now?"
"He and Chang'e must cherish their last moments together." A faint sadness appeared between the brows of the Goddess of Wushan, partly for Chang'e's fate and partly because she thought of herself.
In a sense, aren't I just like her...?
Xie Daoyun also sighed softly: "I hope Brother Zu will spend some quality time with Miss Chang'e."
I was initially anxious about having to wait another year, but then I felt a pang of sympathy when I thought about how the Mermaid Queen could only spend one day with Brother Zu.
"I wonder what the two of them are doing now." Ji Xiaoxi said, pounding herbs while gazing at the sky with curiosity in her eyes.
...
At this moment, the mermaid queen was all tender and alluring. She was born into the sea tribe and had seen all kinds of storms.
When I was a child, I even loved to ride through the most turbulent waves and enjoy the feeling of playing.
No matter how big the storm, it's all as easy as walking on flat ground for her, the mermaid queen.
But only now does she realize that she was too arrogant in the past.
I never knew there were such huge storms in the world, the kind that make you dizzy.
Like a small boat in a storm, being tossed about by the raging winds and waves, it could sink at any moment.
She dared not be arrogant anymore. Recalling her old skills in controlling the water, she relaxed as much as possible, letting the whole boat become one with the wind and waves.
Fortunately, it seemed that God sensed her fear and the storm subsided. The sun gradually emerged from the clouds, bringing a gentle breeze and drizzle.
The sunshine felt warm and comfortable on my skin.
Unable to contain her emotions any longer, she embraced her lover tightly, whispering in his ear, "I want a child..."
These words were like a battle cry, or the prelude to a storm. She was already the most beautiful woman in the world, recognized by all races as the most beautiful woman. With such a heartfelt confession, what man in the world could refuse her?
Outside the Moon Palace, the swaying red lanterns seemed to be telling a story. The ancient tree in the courtyard, which had been withered, suddenly came back to life, covered with green leaves, and then bloomed with beautiful flowers.
The entire palace was filled with the sweet fragrance of osmanthus blossoms, as sweet as the feelings between the newlyweds.
...
After an unknown amount of time, the Mermaid Queen, her cheeks flushed, nestled in Zuan's arms, gently twirling a strand of her hair against his chest: "Husband, you seem a little unhappy."
"Ah, really?" Zu'an was surprised, not expecting the other party to be so sensitive that they could sense this.
"Yes, you seem preoccupied. Is it because you're worried about me?" The mermaid queen shifted her body, finding a more comfortable position in his arms.
For a moment, Zuan didn't know how to answer her question.
The Mermaid Queen smiled understandingly: "Actually, you don't need to be in a difficult position. I know I can't leave here. Now that we can finally be together, I have no regrets. Besides, I might even be pregnant with your child. I'll have someone to keep me company then."
She paused for a moment, then quickly said, "No, that's too selfish. It's not fair to the child to stay here all the time."
Zu'an held her tightly in his arms: "My wife, I will definitely find a way to rescue you."
The Mermaid Queen smiled sweetly: "Husband, you don't need to feel pressured. Anyway, I'll always be here. You can come to see me whenever you miss me."
Zuan felt a pang of pain in his heart. This was an ancient timeline, tens of thousands of years removed from his own era. In such a long period of time, how could the two of them possibly have a chance to reunite?
"I'll stay here with you." He suddenly couldn't help himself; leaving her like this would be too cruel.
The mermaid queen was taken aback at first, then laughed, a very happy laugh, with tears welling up in her eyes.
She pressed her face tightly against his chest: "Husband, I'm so happy to hear you say that, even if it's just a fleeting thought of yours. But I can't be so selfish. You have so many things to do, so many responsibilities. How can you stay here with me forever?"
Zuan opened his mouth, but the usually eloquent man found his throat so dry.
"Don't worry, I will always wait for you, until you come to me in the future, even if it's the end of time." The mermaid queen suddenly straightened up, her long black hair falling casually and brushing against his cheek. "Husband, let's not talk about these unhappy things, let's talk about happy things, like the things that happened to you before you met me. I want to understand you better."
Zuan's heart skipped a beat. He hugged her tightly and told her everything.
Sunrise and sunset—sometimes a day is so long, sometimes it's so short.
The Mermaid Queen gently nudged Zuan: "Husband, time is almost up."
Clearly, she had learned about the portal after chatting all night.
As their parting was imminent, although she forced a smile, tears still welled up in her eyes.
The most heart-wrenching sorrow is that of parting.
Suddenly, Zuan had a thought and hurriedly summoned Moxi.
Upon seeing the scantily clad, curvaceous woman who suddenly appeared, the Mermaid Queen was startled: "Husband, who is she?"
“Her name is Moxi…” Zuan gave a brief introduction to her background. “She has a special skill called ‘Farewell to Nanchao,’ which can sever all kinds of contracts in the world. The one between you and Guanghan Palace can also be considered a kind of contract. But there is a problem now, which is that she can only sever contracts with those of similar cultivation levels.”
Upon hearing this, the Mermaid Queen's eyes dimmed. The girl in front of her was at most a slightly stronger human, far from her current level, and could not be improved in a short time.
Zuan's thoughts raced. The gap in cultivation levels between the two women was simply too great. Not to mention that he didn't have much time left, even if he had a few days, or even a few months or years, it would still be difficult for her cultivation to catch up with the Mermaid Queen who had now ascended.
Suddenly, he thought of a way and asked Moxi if she could stay and accompany the Mermaid Queen, so that she would have enough time to grow and cultivate.
You must know that in this era, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is exceptionally abundant, and with countless immortals and powerful witches, opportunities abound. Perhaps there really is a way to help her grow up quickly.
As a result, Moxi simply turned her head to the side.
Zuan was delighted, however, because the other party's reaction was not that they couldn't do it, but that they were unwilling.
"What would it take for you to agree? I'll give you a lot of Spirit Fruits?" Zuan now has some anger points, enough to exchange for quite a few Spirit Fruits.
Mo Xi continued to shake her head. Zu An communicated with her through their souls and understood her meaning, which made his expression strange.
Because she didn't want the Spirit Fruit, but instead wanted something else.
Something he had never imagined.
She actually wanted a set of clothes from the store system—clothes that had no power whatsoever and served only as decoration.
The outfit that Mo Xi wanted was actually the one that shocked Zu An so much back then—a bikini!
