Volume 1: Chapter 132 Forgive Me, Divine Phoenix Empress

Like Xiao Yao before her, Yu Zhuan Jin only had a basic understanding of this world. She had lost too many memories; she had completely forgotten everything Bai Qing Yu asked her about Xi Zhou. Not to mention who had imprisoned her in the labyrinth, the little girl knew nothing except for a look of confusion.

That night, Bai Qingyu gave Yuzhanjin a bath, expecting her to wear something like a feather robe, but it turned out to be just ordinary clothes.

Bai Qingyu had never seen someone dressed in clothes right after being reborn.

Are you afraid to sleep alone at night?

After drying Miketsu's hair, Bai Qingyu asked softly.

"Hmm... I don't think so."

"That's fine. You can sleep in your aunt's room tonight, or you can sleep with Sister Xiaoyao."

"I want to sleep at my aunt's."

"it is good."

After drying Miketsu's hair, Bai Qingyu brought her some of Xiao Yao's old clothes. It was winter now, and the weather was cold. A little demon like Miketsu could easily catch a cold if she wasn't careful.

"Auntie, why is your hair black, but mine is white?"

Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, Miketsu tilted her head, her white hair cascading down to her ears as she moved.

"Well, Auntie doesn't know either."

"Then, Auntie, how did I come into this world?"

"Hmm... Auntie doesn't know either."

"Oh no, Auntie, the little fox is drowning!" Just as she was asking the question, Miketsu suddenly saw the little white fox struggling in the bathtub through the bronze mirror and quickly spoke up.

Bai Qingyu noticed it too and went over to lift the little white fox out of the bathtub.

The little white fox was a bit bigger than the kitten, and it had red markings on its body. At this moment, Bai Qingyu was holding it by the scruff of its neck, making it look like an innocent little dog.

Using his demonic power, he dried the water off the little white fox and ran away as soon as he put it on the ground.

After changing Yu Zhuanjin into a set of pajamas, Bai Qingyu carried her and placed her on the bed. Then, he caught the little white fox, cleaned its legs, and tucked it into the blanket so that Yu Zhuanjin could hold it.

Good night, sweet dreams.

"Okay, goodnight, Auntie too."

After turning off the lights in the room, Bai Qingyu went out and closed the door behind her.

Stepping into the pavilion in the backyard, I saw the large white snake, now in its original form, coiled around a pillar, preparing to catch the goldfish in the lotus pond.

Bai Qingyu walked over and coughed, startling the little snake that was concentrating on catching fish. It quickly transformed back into human form.

Tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and gave an awkward laugh. "Hehehe, um, Auntie, I was just looking at the fish."

"And then, while we're at it, we'll eat these fish and let them feel warm?"

"Nah."

The little snake gave an awkward smile; the silly expression on her face looked completely out of place.

Her face still looks like that of a young girl, but her tall and perfect figure makes you unconsciously think that Little Snake is a gentle older sister who is actually full of bad intentions.

"Why haven't you gone to rest yet, it's so late?" Bai Qingyu stood by the pavilion, gazing at the lotus pond.

"I can't sleep."

"If you're hungry, go to the kitchen. There's food there. Don't come here to catch fish; it's too dirty, or you'll get a stomachache."

"Know it."

"Ling'er, do you feel bored with your life right now?" Bai Qingyu bent over, her arms resting on the railing.

A gentle night breeze blew by, and she raised her hand, a fallen leaf drifting into her palm. By the moonlight, she saw that it was a fiery red maple leaf.

"No, I feel that my life is great right now."

"Don't force yourself. You are actually quite different from everyone else. You are a Jiao, a dragon that can soar into the sky and dive into the sea."

Bai Qingyu accepted the leaf and turned to look at Bai Ling'er.

She wasn't saying this to drive Bai Ling'er away; she simply wanted to ask her opinion. Just as she had said, the world of a dragon should be rivers and seas, the vast sky outside, not a place where people are crammed into a small courtyard, daydreaming, reading, writing, and raising green snakes.

Having experienced the events involving Dongqing and Changsheng, and then the events involving Ara and Shuten-dōji...

She has long since come to terms with it. For her children, staying by her side all the time isn't actually a good thing; it would limit their growth. So, Bai Qingyu treats all her children the same way: when they are young and weak, they can't leave even if they want to; they must stay.

When the child grows up a bit, she won't interfere much with whether he stays or leaves, and might even encourage him to leave.

Upon hearing Bai Qingyu's words, Bai Ling'er pondered them carefully for a moment.

"Sometimes I do have the urge to go out for a walk, but most of the time I prefer to stay at home with everyone. Whenever I feel that urge to go out, I swim in the nearby river for a while, and that makes me feel very satisfied."

Bai Qingyu walked up to her, and the two were less than half a step apart.

The little snake raised its eyes, but its gaze met Bai Qingyu's for less than two seconds before it quickly withdrew, lowering its head slightly and clutching the hem of its skirt with its small hands.

Suddenly noticing Bai Qingyu's hand reaching out, Bai Ling'er was startled. She watched as the snow-white hand tucked a strand of her wind-blown hair behind her ear. When she realized what was happening, her face flushed red.

"Then I'm relieved. I was just worried that my presence might restrict you."

Bai Qingyu's voice was as gentle as water, and the little snake lowered its head even further.

"No, no, Auntie."

"Okay, then get some rest. I'm going to rest now."

"Um......"

Bai Qingyu left the pavilion, and Bai Ling'er turned around. In the moonlight, she could see Bai Qingyu's exquisitely beautiful and delicate back. Seeing her move with light steps, her white dress appeared so ethereal and otherworldly in the dim moonlight.

The refreshing fragrance still lingered in her nostrils. Bai Ling'er covered her forehead, feeling dizzy.

I really have to admit that my aunt is sometimes really charming, much more so than this clumsy snake with all looks.

"Oh dear, what am I thinking about?"

She slapped her cheeks hard, and the little green snake crawled out of the pavilion, looking at Bai Ling'er curiously.

Noticing her, Bai Ling'er picked her up from the table.

"Let's go first, I'll go to the kitchen and see if there's anything to eat."

·

Bai Qingyu left the backyard, habitually touching her chin, and fell into deep thought.

I just saw the little snake, and I sensed something unusual about it. It wasn't good fortune or misfortune, but rather a force seemed to be binding it, stirring restlessly.

At first, she thought the little snake was about to undergo a tribulation, or that the little snake had developed some kind of inner demon.

I tried asking, and the little snake didn't seem to have any problems.

Lost in thought, Bai Qingyu arrived at Zhen Tian's room, changed out of her feather robe and into her pajamas, and slipped into the warm bed that Zhen Tian had prepared for her.

In the dead of winter, it's so warm and cozy to snuggle into bed, with a beautiful woman beside you on your pillow.

"Shinten, what do you think of Miketsu?"

Zhen Tian was sitting in bed reading a book, which was barely visible in the dim light.

Bai Qingyu hugged her from the side and nuzzled her head against Zhen Tian's chest.

Zhen Tian was already used to this; it would be strange if Bai Qingyu didn't hug her on his own initiative one day.

"This child is very good. He is somewhat similar to Xiao Yao in terms of personality, but he is bolder than Xiao Yao, which is very good."

“I also think that this child is a bit too gentle. I’m worried that she will suffer a lot because of this in the future.”

Bai Qingyu shifted to a more comfortable position, leaning against Zhen Tian's thigh, and said softly, "When I found her today, I encountered a strange person. This guy gave me the feeling of an ordinary person, but he also had spiritual energy fluctuations. The key is that my demonic power couldn't see through him. He had a very mysterious feeling."

"If he is not some peerless master, he should be an ordinary person."

"He was accompanied by several men dressed in imperial court attire; I wonder if they were from that side."

The old general and his men around Xu Yuanqing seemed to be well hidden, but Bai Qingyu saw through them at a glance. Those guys were not honest and even showed murderous intent towards her when she took Yuzhanjin away.

"Isn't the imperial court supposed to stay out of cultivators' business?" Zhen Tian asked, closing the book with a puzzled look.

"Yes, that's what I don't understand either. Logically speaking, cultivators shouldn't interfere with the mortal court, and the court shouldn't ask cultivators to defy fate. Even a Great Spirit Emperor, even if he dies of old age, shouldn't ask cultivators for pills to prolong his life, otherwise he would be punished by heaven."

Even the Heavenly Sun Palace dared not interfere too much in the affairs of the Great Spirit Dynasty, especially when it involved the Human Emperor.

The news was like a bolt from the blue. There was a rumor that a Mahayana cultivator had taken a bribe to forcibly extend the life of the Human Emperor, but before the life could be extended, a sudden bolt of lightning struck down, killing both the Human Emperor and himself on the spot.

So the question is, what is the identity of those people in golden armor?

"It's a pity I can't see through that guy."

Bai Qingyu felt something was strange. She could see through Luo Tian, ​​but she couldn't see through an ordinary person.

Then again, someone she can't even see through can't be called an ordinary person.

"I hope I never run into him again. Otherwise, no matter who he is, if he dares to mess with me, I'll kill him on the spot."

He muttered to himself, making up his mind.

When encountering such a strange situation, just don't provoke it. If this guy comes to provoke her, then don't care who he is, just kill him.

No matter how mysterious something is, you can't be mysterious after someone dies, can you?

·

The days passed by.

With the addition of Yuzhanjin to the household, Bai Qingyu could no longer be a hands-off manager and had to leave everything to Zhentian.

She was responsible for teaching Miketsu to read and write, while Shinten continued to teach Koyo.

As for Little Snake, she has already graduated.

In her words, as long as one can recognize and write, isn't that enough? She's a snake, so she doesn't need to learn so many human things.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Dongqing finally has time to come back.
