Even those women who were by his side, who had shared joys and sorrows with him and weathered the most difficult years, though their abilities were far from reaching this level, still remained youthful and untouched by time.
Chu Feng had three children, and over the years, he has many descendants.
The clever red-clad girl, Chu Xi, standing before him was one of his favorite descendants.
"Lord Chu, I have to tell you, my cousin Chu Xiao was beaten up. He looks terrible; his face is swollen like a pig's head," Chu Xi whispered, trying to warn him.
"Chu Xi, you're snitching again!" A young man walked over, his face bruised and swollen, his battle clothes tattered, looking extremely disheveled.
Symbols flickered intermittently among the wounds on his face, which was why the swelling could not subside temporarily; his opponent was very powerful, and the Dao patterns left behind had not yet disappeared.
"To think you'd be beaten up like this, that's rare. Who did you fight?" Chu Feng asked. In this tranquil little world, he had shut down his perception of the truth and essence of all things. If he knew the trajectory of all future events before anything had even happened, then he, who was pursuing a pastoral life, would lose the original joy and meaning of returning to simplicity.
This was his choice: to return life to its roots, to embrace the ordinary.
He didn't want to stand in a realm where he knew everything and controlled everything; he preferred to be a flesh-and-blood human being, living among the lights of the world.
"The Ye siblings attacked me?" Chu Xiao stammered, sounding very awkward. He had always been warlike, but today he had been beaten up like this, and he felt extremely humiliated.
Chu Feng was surprised and said, "Aren't you very close to the younger sister in that brother and sister pair?"
Chu Xi said, "It's all his fault for being a womanizer. He secretly went to the Desolate Heaven Emperor's family to get close to another sister behind the back of Sister Ye."
Chu Feng's eyes widened immediately; this was outrageous.
"No, I've been misunderstood, it's so unfair!" Chu Xiao said indignantly, looking extremely wronged. "I was delivering a letter for Brother Chu Lin, who wanted to travel to the heavens with that sister. But the Ye family's sister misunderstood me, called her brother, and blocked me on the road."
"And that's not all. Ye's sister said she's going to get all her cousins to ambush me every day!" Chu Xiao rubbed her swollen face, her skin twitching.
"Then you should go and call for help too. Call Brother Chu Lin, call Sister Nuo and the others, and you can put together a team." Chu Xi, always eager to stir up trouble, offered random advice.
To Chu Xiao's dismay, the old ancestor, Lord Chu, was listening with great interest, his handsome face full of smiles, clearly quite intrigued.
Who is this person? Chu Xiao was speechless. Was Lord Chu's mentality too youthful, or was he just too unscrupulous?
He couldn't help but think of some legends he had heard during his travels in the mortal world. It seemed that Lord Chu had many "nicknames" back then, such as Chu the Demon, the Cremation Dao Ancestor, and even more outrageous ones, like being called a human trafficker?!
Although Chu Feng usually shuts down his all-seeing senses, if someone dares to ponder him or secretly criticize him, he will immediately sense it and know everything.
He smiled, revealing his bright teeth, and then affectionately rubbed his own descendant's face, making his already swollen cheeks appear three sizes bigger!
Chu Xiao's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she dared not let her mind wander any further.
"You should go and explain things clearly to the girl." In the end, Lord Chu gave him reliable advice.
"No, I need to defeat her cousins first before explaining to her. Otherwise, I'll not only be unjustly killed, but I'll also lose face." Chu Xiao was indeed warlike and wanted to take this opportunity to spar with her.
"Then you can handle it yourself," Chu Feng said, trying to shoo him away.
Chu Xiao hesitated and refused to leave, saying, "Lord Chu, why don't you create an even more powerful scripture and explore a completely new path of evolution? I'll follow along and learn from it from beginning to end."
"Aren't there enough scriptures yet? What about all those old scriptures? Have you practiced them to the end?" Chu Feng scolded them, saying, "Where did all those scriptures go? That dog carried them all away!"
Mentioning these things, Chu Feng's face darkened. That dog's interest in scriptures was unbearable; it had an extremely serious collecting obsession.
Finally, it actually built a doghouse out of stacks of scriptures, not to practice, but just to lie there happily every day.
“We’re studying those scriptures too, and we can already recite them from memory,” Chu Xiao whispered.
Just then, the dog appeared. It looked like it had just crawled out of its kennel and yawned in the morning light. The scriptures behind it automatically emitted a chanting sound in the dawn, shining brightly.
Thump!
The dog king jumped directly into the lake, swam around twice, and then opened its mouth to snatch one large, crystal-clear, and plump dragon carp after another before running away.
"This scourge is a new breed of dragon carp that I just found in the Chaos River, and it's already got its eye on it again." Chu Feng shook his head.
Not long after, Dog King tossed the dragon carp to Big Black Bull, Ouyang Dalong, Mi Tian and others who had just finished their morning exercise, and told them to grill the dragon carp while he sat and waited.
Soon, the Corpse and Li Da also appeared, carrying several rare birds, which were the best ingredients in the heavens, and they approached.
“A bunch of scourges!” Chu Feng added.
The Dog Emperor has his own lairs with Chu Feng, Ye Tiandi, and Huang Tiandi, and this late-stage scripture collector has built his nests with various scriptures.
It was actually quite willing to stay in Emperor Ye's Daoist temple, since most people of its era lived there, including Wushi and the Empress, each with their own vast immortal mountains and grand Daoist palaces.
However, it was somewhat intimidated by the Empress and never dared to linger.
As for the Desolate Emperor's residence, it visited it not very often, but not very often either.
Originally, Dog King didn't dare to cause trouble there and was always very well-behaved and dutiful, so he wasn't too worried about being punished.
However, on one occasion, the descendants of the Desolate Emperor gave it quite a fright.
That was a descendant whom Huang was very fond of. Overjoyed and incredibly curious, he asked about everything, whether it had a Daoist partner or descendants. Finally, he even asked it mysteriously, "How is the royal dog milk produced by this clan?"
"?!" The dog king's face turned green. It didn't look at the brat, but instead stole a glance at Huang.
The Desolate Emperor ignored him, but the Dog Emperor seemed to have misunderstood.
That day, the dog king tucked his tail between his legs and ran away. He didn't dare to visit again for a long time, and even the doghouse there was abandoned for a long time. The supreme scripture used to build the doghouse was almost moldy.
Therefore, it stayed with Chu Feng the longest, gathering and causing trouble there every day.
Of course, occasionally it would also take Jiu Daoyi and Gu Qing along to travel in the mortal world.
Chu Feng's secluded place, Ye Tiandi's Daoist temple, and Huang Tiandi's immortal home are not far from each other, all floating outside the world. The three Daoist temples form a triangle when connected, and are equidistant from each other.
It can be said that it was easy for them to get together, and even their disciples would often gather together to exchange skills and travel to various places together.
In addition to the three imperial palaces, Emperor Ye's Daoist temple also includes the Purple Moon Palace and the Wonderful Pure Land.
However, the medicinal herb field occupies the largest area, where many rare and precious species are planted, some of which are even unique.
For example, the Enlightenment Tea tree was brought from the mortal world to the immortal realm by Emperor Ye Tian, and then entered the heavens. After many eras, this tea tree has long since evolved to the point of reaching the heavens and attaining the Dao.
Therefore, this tea was often used to entertain the Desolate Emperor, Chu Feng, and others. The Empress and Wu Shi were in this temple, so it goes without saying.
