"But I have my own selfish reasons. Those strange men who are full of bad intentions and have designs on you should stay away from you."
Behind her were the barren, scorched mountains surrounding Yunyin, but the man's embrace calmed her heart.
Song Tingwan moved slightly, her soft lips briefly touching his neck before pulling away.
"Yes, Venerable Yun Chuan is still the most pleasing to the eye." After kissing him, she cupped his face in her hands, her slightly upturned face full of love.
Shen Zhuochuan couldn't control the corners of his lips.
Shen Zhuochuan was satisfied.
Shen Zhuochuan held her hand, and the two looked at each other.
The intense fascination hidden in his dark eyes was almost impossible to conceal.
"Can I kiss you one more time?" the man pleaded, looking down at his wife.
Her slender fingertips traced his face, from his jaw to his chin, and finally lightly touched his lips.
The woman looked up, her gaze teasing as she questioned him.
Shen Zhuochuan pouted, took her fidgeting fingertips in his hand, and lowered his head to kiss her.
The woman in his arms was like a precious jewel, and he couldn't bear to be rough with her.
Therefore, she was exceptionally gentle.
When they appeared at the entrance of the Magnolia Courtyard, the two let go of each other's hands as if nothing had happened.
Song Tingwan gently pursed her lips, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"Let me see what you've done."
Shen Zhuochuan smiled and opened the door for her, then stepped aside and gestured for her to enter.
Song Tingwan stepped into her home with a smile, but her eyes widened in surprise.
When I left, the yard was completely bare, with nothing at all except the house.
I just walked along the stone-paved main street of Yunyin, and there were almost no spiritual plants or trees in Yunyin.
Occasionally, a few plants would be spotted, and the villagers would carefully hold them in their hands, intending to transplant and plant them.
But now, the area in the Magnolia Courtyard that originally had magnolia trees has been filled in again.
Flowers, green grass, birds, and other creatures—though some parts are different from before, you can clearly feel the care and attention put into the arrangement.
It almost perfectly recreates the original Magnolia Courtyard.
The only difference is the type of flowers and plants.
"You did this?" Song Tingwan lowered her eyes slightly, her voice very soft.
Shen Zhuochuan followed beside her, slowing his pace to match hers.
The man shook his head. "The flowers, plants, and trees that I had found were all planted together with Xiao Hei and the others."
The further I went in, the deeper my feelings became.
The original spirit animal's nest has been transformed into a stone nest, where a few spirit beasts that have returned have crawled in and are curiously jumping around in front of it.
Song Tingwan stared at the little stone nest for a long while, the smile on her lips growing wider and wider.
"Hey, Wan'er's back!"
The group stood by the railing on the second floor of the viewing platform. Qin Xi plucked a magnolia branch and smelled it when suddenly her eyes lit up and she pointed at Song Tingwan and the others, shouting in surprise.
Baili Xijiang, who was leaning on the railing, also brightened up and looked in the direction Qin Xi was pointing.
Upon seeing them, she jumped up and waved, "Master, Master, we're here!"
Song Siyao and Wan Qiji looked up at the same time, both of them smiling as they looked at them from afar.
Baili Di stood at the very edge of the railing and joined in their silly laughter.
Both Song Tingwan and Song Tingwan were dressed in light-colored clothes and walked side by side with smiles on their faces. They looked like a perfect couple.
"Do you think Uncle can really keep his position as Master's Daoist partner?"
Baili Xijiang leaned back on the railing, worried about his uncle.
With a master as outstanding as him, it's going to be tough for the younger uncle.
Baili Di tapped his head, speaking up for his master: "The Goddess of Pillow Sleep would look down on those old guys, wouldn't she? The young ones are no good either. Among her peers of similar age, is there anyone stronger than Your Majesty?"
Qin Xi leaned against the railing, looking puzzled: "But it depends on who Wan'er likes, not who is stronger."
"Without a doubt, apart from Venerable Yun Chuan, Wan'er has never given a second glance to anyone else," Wan Qiji said.
Song Siyao, holding her sword, listened to their argument and calmly said, "Whoever my sister likes is whoever she wants; our opinions don't count."
Even she couldn't influence her older sister's decision.
Unless Shen Zhuochuan is a thoroughly evil person who even hurts his elder sister.
That's why she'll try to stop it.
After all… based on her years of experience in sparring, when it comes to describing feelings in terms of sparring, she felt that her older sister was the one with the upper hand.
So there's nothing to worry about.
"Haha, Ah Yao is right."
Qin Xi turned her head and praised.
No matter what they say, they all know the truth in their hearts.
The two of them always restrained their emotions because they were mindful of their presence.
Several times when they secretly watched from behind, the two of them, when alone together, both felt a tingling sensation in their hearts.
Song Siyao raised her chin and went to greet the two as they went up the stairs.
I walked on the other side of my older sister.
"How is Father?"
Mentioning this, Song Tingwan's smile deepened.
"The soul is stronger, but the consciousness still cannot be awakened."
She suspected that perhaps something important was still missing for her father to recover.
But the time is not right.
She only had a vague premonition.
I just hope that the opportunity will come soon so that my father can recover quickly.
"Does my ascension require my father to fully recover?"
Upon hearing this, Song Siyao frowned. Despite the combined merits of the two sisters, they were still unable to restore their father's consciousness.
Was Heaven's will to grant her ascension, or was it also pressing down on her father's recovery to urge her on?
Song Tingwan sensed her meaning and shook her head, "If that person is deliberately making things difficult for us, our lives will not be so smooth."
"When you return to the Sword Inquiry Sect, remember to be on high alert."
After the power of destiny made its move once in the evil realm, it remained silent. She worried that the other party was brewing some powerful move.
