After the spiritual energy was restored: Goddess girlfriends came knocking.

Lin Chu woke up naturally early the next morning.

Looking down, he saw Ruoshui lying on top of him, with one of her legs pressing down on him.

She smiled, her eyelashes casting two small fan-shaped shadows on her eyelids, and her breathing was steady and long.

Lin Chu moved slightly, and Ruoshui seemed to sense something.

My leg moved slightly, and then it encountered some kind of obstacle.

Lin Chu took a deep breath instantly.

Ruoshui seemed disturbed by his movements; her eyelashes trembled, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

Their eyes met, and a smile immediately bloomed on her face. She stretched out her hands to Lin Chu, indicating that she should be picked up.

Lin Chu smiled and reached out to pick her up.

Then, while adjusting his pants, he patted her cheek and said, "Get up."

Ruoshui nestled in his arms, her voice still soft and sweet from just waking up. She reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, nuzzling her face against his cheek.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he sighed.

"Sigh, it's the second day already."

I can no longer monopolize Lin Chu.

hateful.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chu gently rubbed her cheek.

There was no response.

The two went to wash up.

This is a habit I developed in Chang'an.

If we use magic to do everything in these details of life, it loses its human touch.

At least for now, they haven't reached that level of transcendence.

Ruoshui muttered.

"Are we going to see Cang Yao today?"

Lin Chu nodded.

"We already made plans last night."

Ruoshui snorted but didn't say anything.

After washing up, I went to the kitchen and fried two eggs, toasted some bread, and heated two cups of milk.

Ruoshui nestled on the sofa, deciding to stay home and not go anywhere today.

Lin Chu brought the breakfast over and placed it on the coffee table.

Ruoshui picked up a piece of toast and took a bite. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the yolk of the fried egg was still runny. When she bit into it, the golden egg liquid slowly flowed out.

She swung her toes contentedly.

"Do whatever you want today, I'm just staying home."

She leaned back on the sofa, her legs crossed and propped up on the edge of the coffee table, looking utterly languid.

Lin Chu nodded.

I went back to the dressing room and changed into a neat casual outfit.

He looked in the mirror, then rolled up his sleeves twice to reveal his muscular forearms.

As I was changing my shoes in the entryway, I heard light footsteps behind me.

Before he could turn around, Ruoshui grabbed his sleeve from behind.

She stood on tiptoe, hooked her arms around his neck, and kissed him.

It took him a while to let go, step back, look him up and down, and nod in satisfaction.

"Go."

Lin Chu found it amusing to see Ruoshui pretending to be magnanimous, and reached out to pinch her fox ears amidst Ruoshui's coquettish reproach.

Then he pushed open the door and went into the garage.

Ruoshui's Ferrari was parked next to it.

The car's suspension is on the stiffer side, making it less comfortable to drive.

He went around to his AMG, drove out of the villa area, and headed along the coastal highway in the agreed direction.

A light drizzle is falling in Shenzhen today.

The entire city was shrouded in a cool, gray hue.

Lin Chu parked her car in a parking lot near Jiangbin Road, opened a black folding umbrella, and walked towards the river.

The figure could be seen from afar.

Cang Yao stood by the roadside, holding a transparent umbrella, gazing absently at the distant horizon.

Today she wore a dusty pink satin long-sleeved shirt with a matching bow tie at the collar, which was both neat and gentle.

She paired it with a beige midi skirt, the hem of which fluttered slightly in the sea breeze.

Her long hair was not tied up, but flowed smoothly over her shoulders, making her look gentle and intellectual.

Its unique charm drew the attention of many passersby.

A boy with a DSLR camera raised the camera and put it down, then raised it again, but in the end he was too embarrassed to press the shutter.

My companion whispered, "This is so beautiful," but another companion tugged at my sleeve, signaling me not to disturb them.

Lin Chu watched from afar, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily curved into a smile.

Cang Yao sensed something, raised her head, and turned around.

Through the drizzle, I saw Lin Chu holding an umbrella.

Her gaze lingered on him.

The fluctuations in cultivation at the Nascent Soul stage, and the expression in those eyes that she knew all too well.

In an instant, I was struck by a realization; without needing to say more, I understood completely.

Her eyes were slightly red, but unlike Ruoshui, she didn't rush over immediately. Instead, she stood still and watched Lin Chu walk towards her step by step.

Only when Lin Chu walked up to her did she naturally lean her head against his chest and softly call out.

"My husband."

The more than 1,000 years of waiting seems to have been completely contained in these two words.

Lin Chu cupped her face and gently wiped the corner of her eye with her thumb.

"My lady, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Cang Yao closed her eyes, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him.

The two shared a deep kiss in the drizzle.

Raindrops drifted on the umbrella and slid down to their feet. A river breeze blew, and Cang Yao's hair gently intertwined with the hem of Lin Chu's clothes.

Passersby who witnessed this scene couldn't help but stop and stare.

"Those two are such a good match," a girl whispered, tugging at her companion's sleeve.

His companion glanced at it and nodded.

Normally, seeing this situation on the roadside would only make people feel a little embarrassed.

But these two people give the impression of looking at a painting.

……

The rain gradually stopped.

The two walked slowly along the riverbank hand in hand, neither of them speaking a word.

The air at the beach was exceptionally fresh after the rain. The distant horizon was tinged with a faint orange-red, and the setting sun was filtering through the gaps in the clouds, spreading a thin, golden band of light across the water.

After a while, Cang Yao turned to look at him.

"Husband, you remember everything?"

"Yes." Lin Chu nodded. "All of them."

A smile bloomed on Cang Yao's face.

She rested her head on Lin Chu's shoulder, her voice becoming lighter: "That's good."

Then Cang Yao slowly began to recount what happened next.

"The first few hundred years were indeed tough." She gazed at the distant water. "Fortunately, when I first took over the Dragon Court, there was a lot to do, so I forced myself to stay busy and didn't have time to think about anything else."

"Later, the teacher ascended to heaven, and the Dragon Court stabilized. After finishing everything that needed to be done, he began to go into seclusion."

"But it's different from last time." Cang Yao turned to look at Lin Chu, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Last time you left, you didn't leave anything behind."

"But this time there's a photo stone, a hope that you can leave a mark."

"I know I will be able to wait for you."

Lin Chu listened in silence, and held her hand even tighter.

"I won't keep you waiting anymore."

Cang Yao bit her lip, nodded vigorously, and her eyes reddened slightly.

She hugged Lin Chu's arm and rubbed her face against his shoulder.

Then he frowned again.

"Does Ruoshui already know?"

Lin Chu was taken aback: "How did you know?"

Cang Yao buried her face in his chest and took a deep breath, then looked up with a half-smile: "I smelled her scent on you, and considering that you came out of seclusion yesterday but didn't come to find me right away."

She snorted and gently squeezed Lin Chu's arm.

Lin Chu rubbed her temples and admitted, "I was indeed with her yesterday."

Cang Yao wasn't angry; she just shook her head.

"Never mind, she's waited for over a thousand years, it must have been incredibly difficult for her. I feel sorry for her." She paused, then changed the subject, "But today, you have to stay with me."

Lin Chu laughed and nodded at her assertive posture.
