"Brother Shixu!"
Lu Yixin hurriedly changed into her everyday clothes, rushed out of the Canggu Temple, then hurriedly turned back, made a face at Shi Xu, and said, "Then I'm going to find Brother Qiexing!"
Ever since he told her that those who died at the Qing Shen ceremony two years ago could be resurrected by the previous Sen King, her mood has visibly improved. Shi Xu smiled and responded, then shook his head and sighed.
He thought the previous King Sen had already told her, but who knew he had kept it a secret until now.
I'm going to die! It's too late!
She originally thought that she could go to Tianpin Sea after staying in Mitianze for two or three days, but who knew that such a big thing happened, so she was delayed for a long time. It has been almost two months before she finally had some free time.
I wonder if Brother Qiexing will be angry with her...
The water-repelling pill she took that day is still effective to this day. Lu Yixin dived into the Heavenly Female Sea, but was puzzled by the location of the Dragon Palace.
The Heavenly Sea was so vast that she had long forgotten where she had fallen into it that day.
"Hey, isn't this Miss Deer?"
She was wandering aimlessly when she suddenly heard Qiu Yu's voice from the side. Lu Yixin's eyes lit up and she smiled, "Patriarch Qiu, it's been a long time."
Qiu Yu smiled and gave a curtsy, "Miss Lu, you've come to see the Divine Lord, haven't you?"
“Yes,” Lu Yixin lowered her head slightly and asked, “Does Patriarch Qiu know how to get to the Dragon Palace?”
If he hadn't been busy, he would have taken Lu Yixin directly there. Right now, he could only point out the way and add at the end, "It seems that the God Venerable is not in the Heavenly Sea, but I don't know the exact location. Miss Lu, why don't you ask Miss Baozhu?"
"Thank you, Patriarch Qiu!"
"Did Miss Deer ask the deity?"
Baozhu rubbed her hands, which were sore from writing, and said, "The God has found a place to stay at the foot of the imperial city in the mortal world. I happen to be free right now, so if Miss Lu is in a hurry, I can take you there."
It was already late at night, and the moon and stars were few, so it was a good time to rest. Lu Yixin felt bad about troubling her, so she said, "I can go by myself. It's also a good opportunity to familiarize myself with the routes in the capital. I might need to go there often in the future."
Baozhu didn't refuse much. She called over a servant and said, "You two go and prepare a room, the sooner the better."
She then said to Lu Yixin, "Miss Lu, why don't you stay here tonight? You can continue your journey tomorrow."
Unable to refuse Baozhu's hospitality, Lu Yixin had no choice but to follow behind her and inquire about what had happened in the past two months. Baozhu then took the opportunity to tell her about the thirty-day agreement between Shen Qiexing and Huang Nu.
"Miss Lu doesn't know, the God was so anxious those few days that he couldn't eat or sleep," she covered her mouth and chuckled, teasing Lu Yixin, "This time, Miss Lu is going to the mortal world, so you must stay with the God for a few more days."
What goes around comes around, and this time, it's Lu Yixin's turn to feel restless and uneasy.
That night, she tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep, feeling restless and agitated. Finally, she sat up abruptly, left a hastily written note for Baozhu, and went to the capital alone.
For Lu Yixin now, finding someone in a vast sea of people is not difficult at all. She quickly determined Shen Qiexing's location. Taking advantage of the bright moonlight, she tidied her hair in front of the pool, took a deep breath, and jogged towards a courtyard.
She had intended to be more composed, but her steps seemed to be out of her control, and she ran faster and faster until she even rushed into the courtyard. With a smile on her lips, she called out in a clear voice, "Brother Qiexing!"
She watched as the man stood there, stunned, a bright smile blooming on her lips. Before he could react, she lunged at him, burying her head in his chest and letting out a few muffled laughs.
Isn't that a big surprise?
Shen Qiexing was stunned for a few seconds. The warmth in his arms didn't seem fake, so he placed his hands on her waist and gradually tightened his grip.
"Xin Xin?"
"Xin Xin... how did you find this place!"
He rested his chin on the top of her head, the delicate fragrance of flowers and grass wafting into his nose. He hugged her tightly, saying, "Xin Xin, I missed you so much."
He had waited for her for a long time.
It has only been two months since we last met, but it has felt longer than the previous two years.
Fortunately, everything has settled down, and they still have a long time ahead of them.
Shen Qiexing took Lu Yixin back to the house. He was busy making desserts in the kitchen, listening to Lu Yixin chattering about what happened after she went back.
He would occasionally hum in agreement and feed her the osmanthus cake he had made.
The September wind was gradually getting cooler. Shen Qiexing took an outer garment and gently draped it over Lu Yixin, who was asleep leaning against the balustrade. He stood silently in the wind, brushing away the osmanthus blossoms that had fallen from her hair.
The hairpins he had been hiding in his bosom were now digging into his chest and causing a slight pain. He took out the two pairs of hairpins wrapped in a handkerchief and carefully put them on the girl's head.
He had packed all her things neatly.

Since settling in the mortal world, Shen Qiexing has rarely returned to Tianpin Sea. He might not go back for two or three months at a time. Only Lu Yixin runs back and forth every day. Sometimes, she would return to the mortal world during the day, and when Shen Qiexing woke up at night, her side would already be empty.
He felt sorry for Lu Yixin being so busy, but Lu Yixin didn't seem to notice; her spirits were actually getting better every day.
At first, she wasn't used to it, but she gradually grew to like this kind of life. Although it was busy, she was happy.
This kind of life lasted for ten years. During this time, the two were not limited to the imperial city, but more often to the cities that had fallen to the Xuanhai Dragon God. Shen Qiexing traveled around, eliminating countless bandits, and thus gained a good reputation.
However, he always felt that he was unworthy of such a good reputation, and that he was not good enough for it.
Wherever he went, Lu Yixin followed. Her life consisted of going back and forth between the mortal world and Mi Tianze. Even though Shen Qiexing didn't want her to work so hard, she always enjoyed it.
In any case, the Sen tribe is thriving under her leadership. She is indeed shrewd and capable, and with the support of Langruo, Shixu and others, the people of the Sen tribe are all convinced of her worth.
Until the first snow of the eleventh year, Shen Qiexing refused to let her go to the mortal world again.
Because Lu Yixin is pregnant.
“It’s a little deer fairy,” Lu Yixin touched her flat stomach and stroked her chin. “What should we name her?”
The Deer Immortal Clan has always had a single heir per generation, and without exception, all of them are women.
She struggled with the name for a long time, but after flipping through her poetry book, she finally made up her mind: "Let's call him 'Lu Jifeng'."
“Brother Qiexing, look,” she pointed to a couplet of poems, “‘Where have the tortoise and crane gone? Who will carry on the lofty spirit of the white deer?’ I like this line.”
“I think the white deer in this couplet symbolizes integrity and noble character. I hope our children can inherit this spirit and become truly virtuous and kind people. What do you think?”
"I'll do whatever you say." Shen Qiexing brought her a bowl of tonic and fed her spoonful by spoonful. "Childbirth is hard work. If it weren't for the need for the Deer Immortal Clan to continue the lineage, I would never want you to suffer like this."
"Why is it just Deer Immortal?" Lu Yixin put down the ancient book in her hand and said worriedly, "Brother Qiexing, you are the last member of the Dragon Clan, could it be...?"
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Qiexing put down his spoon, raised his hand to gently stroke her long hair, and said in a low voice, "Dragons are inherently inferior. If they can truly become extinct starting with my generation, I would actually think that would be a good thing."
If such an unruly and incorrigible temperament were passed down, who knows how many more people it would ruin.
"Oh, I don't want to drink this," Lu Yixin said, turning her head away from the medicine bowl when she couldn't persuade him. "It's so bitter."
As if by magic, Shen Qiexing produced a piece of malt candy from his hand and put it into her mouth, saying, "You'll surely like this, right?"
This was his favorite candy when he was a child.
"Brother Qiexing, I have a very good constitution, so I don't need to drink these weird tonics!" She tugged at her sleeve and said in a muffled, coquettish tone, "I just don't like drinking them."
That's true. The divine blood from the Dragon God flows through her body, which strengthens her physical constitution. Over the years, not to mention any illness, even a minor scratch will heal quickly on its own.
Shen Qiexing always couldn't stand Lu Yixin speaking to him in this tone. His heart softened, and he patted her fluffy head. "Okay, if Xinxin doesn't want to drink, then she doesn't have to."
Anyway, he still had some of his divine blood remaining in his body, so he could just feed it to her again.
Lu Yixin really didn't suffer much on the day Lu Jifeng was born; according to her, it was like she had just taken a nap.
That's right, with Bai Tanxiang and Shen Qiexing protecting her from behind, of course she would be fine.
Shen Qiexing held a sharp dagger in his hand, pressed against his heart, ready to cut open at any moment.
As the only daughter of the Forest King, Lu Jifeng was born into a life of luxury. Wherever she went, she was always followed by a large group of people. Bai Tanxiang and Shi Xu even gave her the most treasured possessions of the Forest Clan.
On the hundredth day after Lu Jifeng's passing, Yun Xinglan also came.
Although he despised Shen Qiexing, he adored Lu Yixin's child and sent over a multitude of gifts, including countless treasures of the Phoenix Clan.
"Isn't she cute?" Lu Yixin winked at Yun Xinglan and poked her cheek with a finger. "Give her a hug. She's so soft, just like a cloud in the sky."
Indeed... as soft as a cloud. Yun Xinglan's arms, which were holding the baby, were as stiff as iron. Lu Yixin laughed at him for a long time before finally letting the servants take the sleeping Lu Jifeng away.
“Miss Lu,” Yun Xinglan gave her a brief hug and whispered, “Don’t worry, I’ll always be behind you. If that Shen Qiexing dares to bully you, just tell me, and I’ll definitely stand up for you!”
He was really wronging Shen Qiexing. Shen Qiexing was the kind of person who would never dare to go against Lu Yixin's wishes, especially after Lu Jifeng was born. He would follow closely behind Lu Yixin, as if he wanted to stick his whole body to her.
For example, right now, Shen Qiexing is glaring at Yun Xinglan with murderous eyes, but Yun Xinglan doesn't care at all and is still holding Lu Yixin's hand, chatting and laughing.
"Uh, okay, Xinglan," Lu Yixin said, a bead of cold sweat trickling down her forehead as she chuckled between the two of them, "There's some good food over there, why don't you go try it?"
Seeing that she was really in a difficult position, Yun Xinglan clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction, pinched her cheek, and said with a smile, "Alright then, I'll wait for you over there."
Once he was out of sight, Shen Qiexing suddenly appeared, grabbed the hand that Yun Xinglan had just slapped, and with a little force, intertwined their fingers.
Honestly, even after being together for so many years, I still get jealous so easily.
How should I tease him later...?
