Fantasy: Giving birth but not raising? Why are you crying when I become the Immortal Emperor?

Endless darkness swallowed Ye Tian's consciousness.

His last thought was to do everything in his power to protect Ye Ying and Liu Yiyi inside his body.

As for himself, he was like a kite with a broken string, falling into an unknown abyss.

……

In the southern border region of the vast land of Kyushu, there is a remote village called "Luoyun Village".

Under the ancient banyan tree at the village entrance, a little girl with pigtails is chasing butterflies and playing.

"Little girl, come home for dinner!"

A woman's shouts came from afar.

"Okay, Mom!"

The little girl answered crisply, and was about to turn around.

Suddenly, a deafening roar came from the mountains outside the village!
Boom——!
The earth trembled violently.

The birds in the forest were startled and took flight, flapping their wings and fleeing into the sky in a panic.

The little girl was so frightened that she sat down on the ground with a thud, her face turning deathly pale.

"What...what was that sound?"

Meanwhile, deep within the Dao Palace.

Dongfang Yuqing suddenly opened her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing across her beautiful face.

"The breath...disappeared?"

The final sword strike she unleashed contained destructive power, enough to completely obliterate the boundary-breaker along with a corner of the spatial barrier.

But just as the sword energy was about to strike, the person's aura became ethereal and elusive, as if it had merged into the space itself.

Although the sword energy pierced through, it was weakened by the spatial turbulence, ultimately only severely injuring the person.

"They actually managed to break in..."

Dongfang Yuqing muttered to herself, her brows furrowed.

"However, having withstood the backlash from the spatial turbulence and been struck by my Annihilation Sword Qi, he is probably already exhausted."

A thought stirred within her, and a wisp of divine thought pierced through the air, instantly enveloping the entire Southern Region.

She quickly pinpointed the rapidly dissipating life force.

"Near Luoyun Village?"

Dongfang Yuqing's figure flickered and disappeared from the futon.

She had to confirm whether this audacious boundary breaker had completely lost his threat.

……

In the mountains and forests outside Luoyun Village.

A huge, deep pit suddenly appeared, with black smoke rising from its bottom.

Ye Tian lay in the center of the pit, his clothes torn and his skin covered with fine wounds from the spatial power. His blood stained the ground beneath him dark red.

On his chest, a deep, bone-revealing sword wound was particularly gruesome, still bearing traces of golden, extremely domineering sword intent, constantly eroding his life force.

"Boss! Boss! Wake up!"

Within Ye Tian's sea of ​​consciousness, Ye Ying cried out anxiously, her voice trembling with tears.

Liu Yiyi's soul trembled, but she suppressed her fear and kept injecting her weak bloodline power into Ye Tian's soul, trying to stabilize his collapsing consciousness.

"Miss Liu, this can't go on! Boss's life force is slipping away! That sword energy is too domineering!"

Ye Ying roared.

Just then, a stunningly beautiful figure appeared silently at the edge of the pit.

The newcomer was dressed in white, possessing unparalleled elegance and a serene, aloof air, like a celestial maiden—it was none other than Dongfang Yuqing.

Her gaze swept indifferently over Ye Tian at the bottom of the pit, her eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

This person is indeed at his last gasp.

One more strike will eliminate the threat forever.

Dongfang Yuqing slightly raised her jade-like finger, and a sharp sword aura condensed at her fingertip.

But just as she was about to make her move, she suddenly uttered a soft "Hmm?"

Her gaze fell on Ye Tian's tightly clenched right hand.

Even though he was unconscious, his hand was still tightly gripping an ancient longsword.

The sword, now dull and devoid of any spirit, resembled a piece of scrap metal.

But Dongfang Yuqing's pupils suddenly contracted.

"This...this is...the Immortal Sword of the Void?!"

She gasped in shock, and for the first time, a violent emotional outburst appeared on her usually cool and aloof face.

The Taixu Immortal Sword was the sword of her Dao Palace's founder, and its whereabouts have been unknown since the ancient war that destroyed the Immortal Court!

How did it end up in the hands of this boundary breaker?!
Who is he?
A storm raged in Dongfang Yuqing's heart.

She slowly descended to Ye Tian's side, hesitated for a moment, and then pointed a finger at Ye Tian's brow.

She didn't intend to kill him, but rather wanted to investigate his background.

Gentle divine sense cautiously probed into Ye Tian's chaotic sea of ​​consciousness.

Countless fragments of memory flashed by like a revolving lantern.

There are bloody battles in another world, endless longing for his wife and children, and unwavering resistance against powerful enemies...

Finally, the scene freezes on the moment he rushes towards the spatial barrier. In his bloodshot eyes, there is no greed or destruction, only a resolute obsession with going home!

"go home……"

Dongfang Yuqing's divine sense captured these two words.

Her delicate body trembled, and the sword energy at her fingertips quietly dissipated.

"I...I killed the wrong person?"

An unbelievable thought popped into her head.

He was not an invader, but a homecoming!
Looking at the hideous sword wound on his chest, a complex mix of emotions and guilt flashed across Dongfang Yuqing's face.

If it weren't for her three sword strikes, this person might have already safely returned to Kyushu and reunited with his family.

It was she who personally pushed this returning traveler, wielding the patriarch's sword, to the brink of death.

"Very well, since I'm the one who hurt you, I'll save you."

Dongfang Yuqing sighed, then picked up Ye Tian, ​​who was covered in blood.

She glanced at the Taixu Immortal Sword, which seemed to sense her presence, transforming into a stream of light and entering Ye Tian's body.

The next instant, Dongfang Yuqing's figure disappeared from the spot.

Only that huge crater remained, as if telling the story of what had just happened.

……

I do not know how long it has been.

Ye Tian slowly opened his heavy eyelids.

What comes into view is a simple and elegant dome, and the air is filled with the refreshing scent of sandalwood.

He moved his fingers and found himself lying on a warm jade bed. His whole body ached, but his potentially fatal injuries had almost completely healed.

The once-fierce sword wound on his chest has been reduced to a faint red mark.

The raging spatial power within his body was completely subdued by a pure and clean spiritual energy.

"Boss, you're awake!"

Ye Ying and Liu Yiyi's surprised voices rang out simultaneously in their minds.

"I...where is this?"

Ye Tian asked weakly.

"Boss, you've been saved! It's that woman who almost killed you!" Ye Ying said indignantly.

Ye Tian was taken aback upon hearing this.

That woman?

He struggled to sit up and just then saw a white figure push open the door and enter.

She still had that aloof and stunningly beautiful face, and that same aura that kept people at arm's length.

Their eyes met, and the air seemed to freeze.

"you're awake."

Dongfang Yuqing spoke first, her voice cold but without any killing intent.

"You saved me?" Ye Tian frowned. "Why did you try to kill me first, and then save me?"

This was what he couldn't figure out the most.

Dongfang Yuqing walked to the bedside and handed him a cup of spiritual liquid that exuded a rich life force.

"I am the guardian of the Nine Provinces, and it is my duty to guard the world's barrier. Anyone who forcibly breaks through the boundary will be killed."

She paused, a hint of apology in her voice.

"I misunderstood you. I didn't expect you to be an intruder."

Ye Tian took the spiritual liquid and drank it all in one gulp. A warm current instantly spread throughout his body, and his spirit was greatly restored.

He then realized that it was all a misunderstanding. "My name is Ye Tian. Thank you for saving me, young lady. May I ask your name?"

"Dao Palace, Dongfang Yuqing."

"Dongfang Yuqing..." Ye Tian murmured the name, then asked, "Since you are a member of the Dao Palace, do you recognize this sword?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Taixu Immortal Sword automatically appeared in front of him.

Upon seeing the Legend of Sword and Fairy, Dongfang Yuqing's gaze softened considerably.

"This is the sword of my Dao Palace's founder, the Taixu Immortal Sword. Why is it in your hands?"

Ye Tian then briefly recounted the story of how he obtained the Immortal Sword inheritance in another world.

After listening, Dongfang Yuqing remained silent for a long time.

It turns out, it was all fate.

The patriarch's sword guided this successor through countless hardships, until he finally returned to Kyushu.

But I almost became the sinner who severed this cause and effect.

“Ye Tian…” Dongfang Yuqing said softly, “You should focus on recovering. Once you’re healed, I will help you find your family.”

"My wife's name is Su Muxue."

Upon hearing his wife's name, Ye Tian's cold and hard gaze instantly softened into a gentle warmth.

"I remember her scent, I'll help you find her."

Dongfang Yuqing nodded in agreement, and the guilt in her heart lessened slightly.

……

Half a month later.

Nourished by Dongfang Yuqing's costless spiritual medicine, Ye Tian's injuries have been completely healed, and his cultivation has even advanced to a higher level, faintly touching the threshold of the Immortal Realm.

The two weeks they spent together had eased the tension between them.

Ye Tian learned about the loneliness and hardship that Dongfang Yuqing endured as a guardian.

Dongfang Yuqing also learned about Ye Tian's years of wandering and hardship.

A subtle feeling quietly began to grow in their hearts.

On this day, Dongfang Yuqing found Ye Tian.

"I found her."

Those five simple words made Ye Tian's heart skip a beat.

"Where is she?!"

“Central Continent, Tianxuan Sect. She is now the sect leader of Tianxuan Sect.”

Dongfang Yuqing's tone was somewhat complicated.

"She is amazing. During the years you were gone, she single-handedly supported everything and waited for you to come back."

Ye Tian's eyes reddened, his heart yearning to return home.

"I need to see her!"

"I'll accompany you."

……

Zhongzhou, Tianxuan Sect.

Before the mountain gate, a figure in white stood quietly, gazing into the depths of the sea of ​​clouds.

She was graceful and beautiful, and it was Su Muxue.

Time seems to have left no trace on her; instead, it has given her a greater sense of composure and dignity.

Suddenly, she sensed something and turned around sharply.

Two figures were walking on clouds and mist, coming from the horizon.

When Su Muxue finally saw the face of the person she had been longing for day and night, her body trembled violently.

Crystalline tears slid uncontrollably down her cheeks.

"Ye Tian..."

She called out in a trembling voice, as if she had used up all her strength.

"Mu Xue, I'm back!"

Ye Tian flashed, instantly traversing a thousand meters, and tightly embraced the beautiful figure he had longed for day and night.

All the words I wanted to say were condensed into this tight hug.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Su Muxue then noticed Dongfang Yuqing behind Ye Tian.

She wiped away her tears, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

Ye Tian quickly explained the whole story.

When Su Muxue heard that Dongfang Yuqing was the one who almost killed Ye Tian, ​​a hint of hostility flashed in her eyes.

But when he heard that it was Dongfang Yuqing who had saved Ye Tian and helped him heal, his hostility turned into gratitude and complicated feelings.

"Palace Mistress Dongfang, thank you for saving my husband."

Su Muxue bowed slightly, displaying her dignified demeanor.

"It was nothing," Dongfang Yuqing said calmly, but her gaze lingered for a moment on Ye Tian and Su Muxue's tightly clasped hands.

She suddenly felt that she was somewhat superfluous standing there.

"I'm going back to the Dao Palace first. You guys... keep chatting."

After saying that, Dongfang Yuqing turned to leave.

"and many more!"

It was Su Muxue who spoke.

She pulled Ye Tian to Dongfang Yuqing and said sincerely:

"Palace Master Dongfang, if you don't mind, why don't you come up the mountain for a cup of tea before you leave? Let Ye Tian and I properly thank you for your kindness."

Looking into Su Muxue's clear and sincere eyes, Dongfang Yuqing nodded as if possessed.

"it is good."

……

As time flows by, a century passes in the blink of an eye.

Ye Tian returns, and the Nine Provinces are unified.

His story with Dongfang Yuqing and Su Muxue has become a legendary tale that has been passed down through the ages in the Nine Provinces Continent.

As everyone knows, Emperor Ye Tian has two wives: Su Muxue, his childhood sweetheart with whom he shared hardships, and Dongfang Yuqing, the master of the Dao Palace with whom he once clashed.

The three joined forces and quelled all the unrest within and outside the Nine Provinces.

Ultimately, with the blessing of the origin of the Nine Provinces world, Ye Tian knocked on the gate to immortality.

A dazzling celestial light shone forth, and the path of guidance descended from the heavens.

fairyland.

Inside a celestial palace suspended in the heavens.

Clouds and mist swirl around, and cranes cry in unison.

Ye Tian, ​​dressed in a black robe, stood atop the Immortal Palace with his hands behind his back, overlooking the endless mountains and rivers of the Immortal Realm below.

Behind him, Ye Ying and Liu Yiyi had already materialized and were playing and frolicking with a group of fairy children.

Two stunningly beautiful figures approached him from the left and right.

It was Su Muxue and Dongfang Yuqing.

Having weathered a century, their beauty has only grown stronger, and they now possess an ethereal, otherworldly charm.

Su Muxue leaned gently on his shoulder.

"Ye Tian, ​​this place is so beautiful."

Dongfang Yuqing simply stood quietly, her cool gaze carrying a hint of longing that she herself was unaware of.

Ye Tian stretched out his hands, holding Su Muxue's hand with his left and taking Dongfang Yuqing's hand with his right.

Neither woman struggled.

"Yes, it's beautiful."

A satisfied smile appeared on Ye Tian's face.

"From today onwards, this is our home."

He turned his head and looked at his two wives, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"Having endured countless hardships and weathered countless storms, all I ask for is to be with you all, watching the clouds drift by and enjoying the peaceful years."

Su Muxue nodded emphatically, her eyes filled with tears.

A captivating smile, almost mesmerizing, appeared on Dongfang Yuqing's lips as he softly said:

"Yes, our new beginning."

Under the dazzling light, three figures clung tightly together.

The past journey has ended, but their happiness has just begun.
