After leaving Lu Chengwen, Ning Yan returned directly to the Heavenly Realm.
Where is the celestial realm?
The Thirty-Three Heavens Beyond Heaven.
The moment she appeared in the Heavenly Realm, the once calm and uneventful realm seemed to boil over as if a drop of water had been poured into a scalding oil pan.
A five-colored phoenix flew down from the horizon and landed in front of Ning Yan. At this moment, the phoenix phantom in Ning Yan's sea of consciousness flew out and merged with the phoenix in front of her. Then, a phoenix cry pierced the clouds and split rocks, as if music was flowing from the horizon.
"Princess, you're finally back!"
The phoenix flew to Ning Yan and gently nuzzled its head against her chest.
Ning Yan stroked its beautiful, multicolored feathers. "Chitian, you're wrong. We've never been apart."
Chitian quickly admitted his mistake: "Yes, Chitian misspoke!" But in his heart he was thinking that the princess would eventually get married, and that would probably be the time when they parted ways.
Thinking of something, Chitian hurriedly said, "Princess, let's go back to the main temple first. The main god is waiting for you."
"Okay, let's go."
Ning Yan naturally sat on the phoenix's back. Chi Tian spread its wings, and with just a slight movement of its several-meter-long wings, it flew into the sky. However, the back of the phoenix was extremely stable, and in no time they arrived at the main temple.
Golden glazed tiles, white jade flooring, dragon pillars in the hall, and celestial treasures filling the room.
Every item in the main temple was magnificent and precious, but the moment Ning Yan stepped in, all those treasures paled in comparison.
Princess Yanhua is the only princess in the Heavenly Realm and the most beautiful woman there. On the day of her birth, even the sun and moon paled in comparison, let alone the treasures of the celestial realm—how could they possibly rival her brilliance?!
The fairy maidens standing in the hall immediately bowed and paid their respects upon seeing the princess return.
"Yan'er, quick, let Mother Goddess see!"
Ning Yan rushed forward and threw herself into her mother's arms. "Mother Goddess, your daughter has been gone for thousands of years. Don't you miss your daughter at all? Why don't you come to see your daughter?"
Ning Yue held the child in her arms and gently patted her back, "Silly girl, have you forgotten that a day in heaven is a year on earth? Do you think you've been separated from Mother Goddess for thousands of years?"
But less than three years have passed in the Heavenly Realm.
Ning Yan didn't care about any of that. She hugged her mother and started to act coquettishly, "I don't care, Mother Goddess has to make it up to me!"
"Okay, okay, I'll make it up to you! How do you want me to make it up to you?"
"My daughter hasn't thought of it yet. We'll talk about it when she does."
Ning Yue couldn't do anything with her little princess, so she naturally did whatever she said. "Alright, stop being so spoiled. Your father is waiting."
Ning Yan then looked at her father, who had been pretending to be deep in thought, and said, "Father, are you unhappy that your daughter is back? Then maybe I should go back..."
"What's so great about the mortal realm that you actually want to go there? You're not allowed to go anywhere anymore; you'll just stay obediently in the celestial realm!"
Ning Yan immediately laughed. Hao Yang, the God of War, realized that he had been tricked by his daughter. Helplessly, he put away his cold expression and a smile appeared on his face.
His daughter has been mischievous since she was little, and Ning Yue spoils her excessively. If he doesn't take her more seriously, this child will definitely turn the heavens upside down!
Sigh, even though he was serious enough, that brat almost blew the heavens apart!
"You've been gone for so long, have you figured out how to deal with those men?"
The matter is actually very simple.
As the only princess of the Heavenly Realm and the undisputed next chief god, Ning Yan has countless suitors.
Then those people started fighting each other over Princess Yanhua.
If it were just one or two, it wouldn't be a big deal, but who would have thought that more than twenty top families in the Heavenly Realm would get involved? The scale of it was no less than a war between gods and demons!
Therefore, in order to maintain peace in the heavens, Ning Yue, as the chief god, had no choice but to seal her daughter's memories and place a restriction on her, sending her to the mortal realm.
After she left, those people indeed quieted down, and one by one they were busy asking where Princess Yanhua had gone, as they wanted to follow her.
However, only the Blazing Sky Beast knew where Ning Yan had gone; even Ning Yue couldn't find her without using special methods.
Chitian is a stubborn person who values his master more than himself, so how could he possibly tell others about his master's news?
That's why Ning Yan was able to live so many comfortable lives in the mortal realm!
"What's there to think about? They just want to be my men, so I'll just marry them all, won't I?"
Ning Yue and Hao Yang: ...What should we do? Our daughter's ability to cause trouble has become even stronger since she came back from her trip? If this gets out, they don't even want to imagine how those boys' families will react.
As they were talking, a palace maid came in to announce, "Reporting to the chief deity, Liu Tianyu, the second young master of the Liu family, and Yun Xiao, the young master of the Yun family, are requesting an audience outside the hall."
Ning Yan knew that these two people had come to see her, and just as she was about to speak, someone else arrived, "Your Highness, the Baili family head, Wu Yang Tianjun, and the Demon Prince request an audience."
Ning Yan: ...Believe it or not, no matter which one she sees today, or none of them, they're all going to fight!
"Report my message: I am looking for a husband. Anyone willing to marry me along with another person may go to the Xia Guang Liu Li Palace!"
"I've given them half a month. If they don't come within half a month, the agreement is null and void."
The palace maid bowed and agreed, then went out to deliver the message.
The young talents outside the door could hardly believe what they were hearing. Princess Yanhua actually wanted to find husbands for her? And she wanted to marry everyone into her family?
They are all the most outstanding disciples in their respective families, some of whom have even taken over the entire family. Marrying into their families is not something they can do just because they want to!
Just then, more people arrived at the main temple, and their expressions turned sour upon learning that Ning Yan had decided to take a husband as her son-in-law.
Actually, it's not impossible for a man to marry into his wife's family; some people are willing to do so, but they have to go home and persuade their elders first.
So, when Ning Yan finished talking with the Father God and Mother God and left, there was no one left outside the main temple.
Ning Yan was not surprised at all and returned to the Xia Guang Liu Li Palace with Chi Tian.
Upon seeing their master return, the palace maids in the Radiant Glazed Palace were all beaming with joy, overjoyed beyond measure.
These people who served her had been with her for decades, some even centuries, and she had long developed feelings for them. Ning Yan talked with them for a while before returning to her own palace.
She had just lain down in bed when an announcement came from outside.
Ning Yan was extremely surprised. Was there really someone who would disregard her wishes and become her live-in son-in-law?
Who's here?
"Yes, Your Highness, it is the young patriarch of the Phoenix Clan."
Young clan leader of the Phoenix Clan?
Isn't that Chitian? The two of them had just separated, and it was her companion divine beast. They were born on the same day. Chitian was sent to her side by the Phoenix Clan Chief at birth, and the two of them grew up together. It never needed to announce its presence when entering her palace. What is it doing?
"please."
She didn't get up, but lay on the bed watching as Chitian was led into her chambers by palace maids. (End of Chapter)
