Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

[If Xu Kun, that idiot, even gets a hair on his head, you know he has no good intentions.]

[His gaze drifted to the side.]

He immediately reverted to his obedient and docile demeanor, nestling in Xu Hui's arms.

Xu Hui noticed the brief reaction between you and Brother 2.5.

After a moment's thought, I understood where it came from.

[Sister Zuo?]

Is there anything about Sister Zuo that he doesn't know?

Xu Hui's curious and gossipy gaze lingered on you.

You shift your gaze from Xu Kun to Xu Hui's calm, indifferent yet undeniably gossipy eyes.

"It wasn't anything serious; I just took him to see an old friend."

"Ah! Hahahaha! An old friend?"

Pang Hai also realized what was happening and stepped forward to eavesdrop.

Seeing that you seemed to have no intention of hiding anything, Xu Kun immediately perked up his ears and wagged his tail.

"Meow! Sister-in-law! It's sister-in-law!"

Pang Hai: "Ah! Hahaha! Ha? Ha??"

Xu Hui: "..."

Then, using the art of illusion, he vanished, no longer wishing to participate in what followed.

Pang Hai scratched his head, secretly annoyed that he wasn't as fast as Hui Zi.

"Ah~ Haha~ Um... Big brother, I won't disturb your reunion with Sister Zuo any longer, I'll be going now..."

Before he could finish speaking, he turned abruptly, his black robes billowing and tearing through the wind and snow with a howling sound.

[They vanished from the spot in an instant.]

You watch as the once bustling scene transforms into a moment where you are left all alone.

He shook his head, a wry smile playing on his lips.

[What a fuss! It's just...a little emotional entanglement, isn't it? Why are you so panicked?]

People who haven't experienced relationships are indeed impulsive.

"My husband!"

A gentle, elegant, and tender voice softly calls your name.

You turn around and look.

[Zuo Shi, dressed in an elegant blue long dress, stood beneath the doorway, her eyes like still water, shimmering with a deep, melting affection.]

[After several years apart, Zuo Shi exudes a refined charm, a blend of elegance and worldly experience.]

[A captivating blend of elegance, nobility, and radiant allure.]

After the initial joy of reunion, Zuo Shi looked around in confusion.

"Didn't Haizi and Huizi go to pick you up? Why are you the only one who came back? Where is Second Brother Five?"

[Faced with her questioning inquiry.]

You stepped forward and gently pulled her into your arms.

[The long-awaited surge of popularity stirred something within Zuo Shi, making her heart flutter.]

[She's forgotten everything about Haizi, Huizi, and Erdianwudi.]

Immersed in the tenderness of your embrace.

"They always act strangely at times; they suddenly ran away in a panic."

[Pfft~]

Zuo Shi chuckled softly, tilting her porcelain-white, warm-jade-like face up in your arms.

With every gesture, every smile, a captivating charm shone through.

"You guys always like to overcomplicate things..."

Zuo Shi stopped speaking.

Because, looking back, she realized that many times, it wasn't that you wanted to complicate things.

[Instead, it's a complex world filled with cunning schemers plotting behind the scenes and ambitious figures making their appearances.]

On this grand stage...

If you're too simple-minded, you really can't survive.

[At this moment of reunion after so long, she didn't want to disturb this warmth and didn't pursue the matter further.]

[I took your hand and we entered the mansion.]

"After Haizi and his group occupied Yongzhou, I had nothing to do except cultivate on weekdays."

"Therefore, they focused all their attention on the decoration of the mansion."

She lightly raised her delicate fingers, introducing you to the carefully crafted scenery and architecture throughout the mansion.

Finally, we'll take you to the courtyard, which she was involved in building, decorating, and furnishing from start to finish.

This is the little home she has always dreamed of building.

[It was not as grand and towering as the other buildings in the mansion.]

The staggered pavilions and the overall color scheme, matching the somber and deep tones of Jintang City, create a harmonious atmosphere.

The vast expanse of white snow creates a blank space reminiscent of an ink painting.

The hot water drawn from the spring flows along the winding, undulating terrain, creating a misty, diffused atmosphere.

[Adds a sense of dynamism.]

You'll notice from the details that Zuo Shi's work was designed entirely according to your usual preferences and habits.

[Like a lakeside pavilion, a two-story building with a view of the lake, a tea table with a view from the window...]

[And...the battlefield where we fought night after night.]

The layout of the living room, influenced by you, is in line with modern living standards.

It's just that the style is classical and elegant.

Therefore, it features a two-story terrace, a high-ceilinged facade, a long dining table, a living room sofa, a hot spring bath...

These venues each have their own specific functions, or they may share the same function.

"My lord, the hot springs of Jintang City are renowned far and wide, attracting many tourists. Would you like to experience them?"

"That's exactly what I was thinking."

[As you travel along the way, the pervasive hot spring culture throughout Jintang City will surely make you want to experience it for yourself.]

[May this wash away the weariness of traveling across the southwest of Dacang.]

[With her delicate fingers, Zuo Shiyu removes your black robe and gown, meticulously showcasing the most exquisite hot spring cultural process to you.]

[Warm water flow washes over it.]

[It quickly washes away the fatigue of body and mind, allowing for complete relaxation.]

After soaking in the hot spring, I sat at the tea table by the window, wearing a loose yukata.

[Boil water to make tea and enjoy the snow-covered lake view.]

Zuo Shi wore a loose, light blue bathrobe; her skin glistened with moisture, tinged with a delicate, rosy hue.

[Her demeanor was elegant, yet she unconsciously exuded a captivating charm.]

[You two are an old married couple. Compared to the last simulation, this period of separation has been relatively uneventful.]

After all, in the last simulation, each separation lasted for ten or twenty years.

[I don't even know if we'll ever have the chance to meet again after this parting.]

Every time Zuo Shi saw you off, she knew what you were going to do, something that would likely lead to your death.

But she refused to give up even the faintest hope and steadfastly continued her wait.

[In the last simulation, I clung to a sliver of hope and finally awaited your return.]

Zuo Shi curiously inquired about the details of your experiences in recent years.

Although they exchanged letters regularly, there were no detailed descriptions.

[If one joins the Celestial Master's Mansion, becomes a successor of the Celestial Master, and a contemporary Daoist disciple.]

[As for the process, the Celestial Master's personality traits, and their daily interactions, nothing is described.]

[After hearing your detailed account, Zuo Shi...]

[The fact that you became an apprentice of the Celestial Master was discovered, along with the Celestial Master's Mansion's lofty and unapproachable status, and its solemn and dignified style.]

A dramatic transformation has taken place.

[Especially when I heard our ancestors jump up "happily" several times, as if they were having a "party" and "celebrating".]

[The way Zuo Shi looks at you.]

It is a deep sense of admiration and respect.

[It turns out my husband was doing something very important outside, something truly significant.]

[Indeed...wonderful.]
