I am Guhuoniao, not an umbrella demon, please do not disturb me.

"Three! Auntie!"

Three is indeed not many, and it was within Dongqing's expectations, but no matter how much she expected it, she still felt aggrieved. It was a pity that she couldn't stay by her aunt's side.

“All three are pitiful children. You’ll understand once you hear what I’m saying. Don’t worry, your aunt has always cared about you.” Bai Qingyu comforted him softly, and then began to tell Dongqing the story of Qingji and Bai Xiaoya from the Relics of the Other Shore Flower.

There's not much to say about the latter two; the main point is about Kiyohime.

After listening to the whole story, Dongqing stopped feeling aggrieved and asked, "Auntie, did Anzhen really get reincarnated in the end?"

"Yes, he's been reincarnated. I have to say, it's a good thing for him to be reincarnated so peacefully."

"Yes, we shouldn't let him get away with it. By the way, Aunt, I also have something to say."

Dong Qing organized her thoughts and recounted Lin Yimiao's story to Bai Qingyu.

Upon hearing this, Bai Qingyu couldn't help but frown.

"So the disciple that your Peak Master Yun just mentioned to me is Lin Yimiao?"

"Yes, I didn't expect it to be like this either. I just felt that Lin Yimiao had become a different person. It was probably because Changsheng had dealt her a huge blow. I didn't expect that Master Yun would kill her directly."

Do you feel guilty?

“I don’t feel guilty, I just feel sorry. She used to be a good person, just a bit mischievous. My master said she was disrespectful but kind-hearted.”

Dongqing sighed, "Her heart is too fragile. She can't resist when something happens. I feel that she should never go down the mountain and just live happily in Tianyang Palace. Otherwise, something bad will happen sooner or later."

"Your Peak Master Yun is quite decisive, letting her reopen the school just like that." Bai Qingyu clicked her tongue. "You are responsible for the children you raise. I can understand your Peak Master Yun's thinking. The education of your children is really too important."

"Yes, yes, I remember you scolded me a lot when I was little, Auntie."

"You're naughty, so you definitely need to be punished."

"Hehe, I know. If I could, I would really like to go back to the days in the Ten Thousand Mountains. My aunt took me and Changsheng to live in that valley, carefree and so free."

"What, you don't want to be a sword immortal anymore?"

"Hmm... I don't really want to think about it anymore. I still feel that my childhood was the best."

They chatted and laughed all the way back to Tongzhou.

The trip took two days, which was shorter than Bai Qingyu had expected.

When Dongqing returned home, he saw his three younger sisters and didn't know what to say. In the past, his aunt had only taken in children who were only seven or eight years old, but now, Qingji and Bi'anhua were already girls in their teens, big girls.

Bai Qingyu sat on the stone bench, watching the children playing in the yard, her gaze turning to Zhen Tian, ​​who had just poured her tea.

"Did you encounter anything interesting during your trip to the capital, sister?"

Zhen Tian poured tea for Bai Qingyu and spoke in a gentle, pleasant voice.

"Nothing interesting happened, just a fight with a group of cultivators." Bai Qingyu took a sip of tea. "In any case, the matter in the capital is completely over. That Xu Yuanqing is really bold, but it's good that we can leave in peace in a couple of years."

Bai Qingyu had already made plans. Once Bai Xiaoya was a bit older and could at least walk and run, she would take the children and set off to continue traveling the world, enjoying the beautiful scenery while searching for the monsters in the Demon Book.

Having stayed in Tongzhou long enough, and with the Demon Scroll in hand, I'll go out and make some contact with those demons.

In fact, she always felt that the demons in the Demon Book were worth getting to know. Almost every demon had their own story, and the more she learned about them, the more she realized that most of their stories were tragic. Therefore, the redemption of them made Bai Qingyu feel more fulfilled than ever before.

As for Yaodaoji, there's a 90% chance they'll meet again in the future. If fate allows, she can join the team.

The redemption of the monsters was also a cleansing of her own heart.

Of course, Bai Qingyu didn't think her heart was that dirty.

"Yes, I'll stay with you." That was all Zhen Tian said.

No matter what decision Bai Qingyu makes, she will always stand firmly by Bai Qingyu's side.

Upon hearing Bai Qingyu's words, Dongqing carried Xiaoya over.

"Auntie, are you leaving again?"

“Yes, let’s keep going. When I took you and Changsheng down the mountain, didn’t I say that we would travel the world, step on every inch of land, all the way to the capital, and then we would go back? We’ve only just arrived at Tongzhou.”

"But Aunt, haven't you already been to the capital?"

“It’s different. When I go to the capital, I go alone with the children. That’s called a journey.” Bai Qingyu yawned.

"Who knew you and Changsheng would grow up so fast? We've only been out for a few years and you've already reached this point. But your aunt is going out again this time because I have a mission."

"What mission is it?"

"Of course, it's about saving countless children in the world."

"Then I want to go too," Dongqing pouted.

"Of course I can let you go, but what about your master? Don't you want your master anymore?"

Upon hearing Bai Qingyu's words, Dongqing's face immediately fell. Yes, she still had her master waiting for her to return.

Normally, someone at the Nascent Soul stage should have the freedom to spend their own time, enjoying a carefree life every day except for some necessary tasks. However, Dong Qing is different.

She is the Heavenly Sword, the Heavenly Sword who bears a heavy burden.

"Don't feel wronged. You have a chance to go down the mountain, right? Don't worry, you'll have plenty of experience in the future. If you're close to me then, just come find me."

With the Heavenly Sword and Demonic Sword unleashed, chaos is about to engulf the world. A great calamity is brewing and will arrive in a hundred years at most.

Bai Qingyu naturally knew about this news as well.

Being at the center of the vortex, how could Tianyang Palace possibly continue to cultivate Holly as a flower in a greenhouse?

This time is a case in point. Tianyang Palace sent out Dongqing without hesitation, even though they knew that flowers grown in a greenhouse were destined to be weak.

On the other hand, the Demon Sword has grown up almost entirely through battles. When the great calamity begins, how will they be able to contend with it?

The time spent with holly was ultimately short-lived.

She is no longer the naive little girl who used to love gossip and reading stories of love and hate among scholars. She is now Tianjian, the future pillar of Tianyang Palace, or to put it more seriously, a ray of hope in the great calamity to come.

Bai Qingyu wanted to keep her by his side, but it was no use. Three days later, they reluctantly parted ways. Dongqing said she needed to return to the mountain to cultivate, and that she would definitely come down the mountain to visit her again when she had the chance.

When it was time to leave, I was still so reluctant to part, with tears streaming down my face.

Bai Qingyu wasn't particularly sad at first, but after Dong Qing cried like that, she suddenly felt a little reluctant to part with him.

Especially with Bai Xiaoya running around beside her, Bai Qingyu inexplicably recalled her life back in the Ten Thousand Mountains. Even though nearly twenty years had passed, that memory still surfaced before her eyes, so vividly.

For her, all her children were the most important, and among them, Dongqing was definitely the most special child in her heart.

Zhen Tian stood beside Bai Qingyu and saw her suddenly look downcast, knowing that she must be feeling sad again.

“Sister, didn’t you say that the separation now is for the reunion in the future? All good things must come to an end. Besides, isn’t Dongqing doing well now? Her cultivation has become stronger, her mind has matured, she has a sense of responsibility and has become the sword immortal she most wanted to be. Isn’t this what you wanted to see?”

These words brought Bai Qingyu back to her senses. The emotions she had just been building up were quickly dispelled by Zhen Tian's few words, leaving her with a strange expression, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

"I know, I'm just a little reluctant. If I had known Dongqing was a Heavenly Sword, I definitely wouldn't have let her go to Tianyang Palace." Bai Qingyu gently closed the door and sighed almost imperceptibly.

"I'm actually a selfish person. I wish Dongqing would stay by my side forever, and of course, you are too."

"I will not leave my sister. Even if she doesn't want me anymore, I will always stay with her."

"You're wrong. You should say, even if you want to run away, I won't let you."

Bai Qingyu deftly walked behind Zhen Tian and suddenly hugged her, "Just like this."

"Sister, everyone's watching."

Sure enough, as soon as Zhen Tian finished speaking, a chorus of boos erupted in the courtyard.

·

With the events in the capital coming to a close and the nation's fortunes gradually improving, the outside world was in turmoil due to various events, but this did not affect Bai Qingyu's daily life at all.

Just like Dongqing said, he would stay home every day to take care of the child and teach Bai Xiaoya to walk and talk.

In order to prepare for her upcoming travels, Bai Qingyu resigned from her job at the private school. It was a last resort; since she was leaving, she had to make peace with Tongzhou so that things wouldn't fall apart after her sudden disappearance.

Bai Qingyu felt that his greatest contribution to Tongzhou was publicity.

The publicity was only in its early stages. Now, the harmonious coexistence between humans and demons in Tongzhou has made Tongzhou famous, especially among demons. Demons all know that Tongzhou is a paradise for demons, where they can walk openly and honestly on the streets without worrying about their safety.

Gradually, no one mentioned the Divine Phoenix anymore. People would usually talk about how harmonious the human and demon races were in Tongzhou first, and only then would they mention the name Divine Phoenix.

So even if she were to leave, it wouldn't have a huge impact.

And so, more than two years passed in a flash.

For two years, nothing happened; all that remained was peace and quiet. During this time, Changsheng returned once, accompanied by Ji Xuan, the maidservant by his side. It was obvious that the two had become much closer. Compared to their last return, they had progressed from ordinary friends with a slightly ambiguous relationship to lovers.

Changsheng has also officially joined the Heavenly Cult and has recently been working for them.

Judging from what they said, Ji Xuan wanted to get married in the next few years, while Chang Sheng was unwilling and wanted to wait a few more years.

In short, Bai Qingyu, as a mother, was happy to see her son successfully find a partner.

Ji Xuan is a very good girl. She is beautiful and has strong cultivation. Despite having such a powerful background, she is still able to remain humble and reasonable.

Aside from the matter of immortality, there was nothing else worth mentioning. For more than two years, Bai Qingyu didn't even go looking for the demons in the demon register, spending every day at home taking care of her cubs.

Bai Xiaoya needs care, and so do Xiaoyao and Yuzhuanjin.

It was a quiet morning, and Bai Qingyu was sitting in a chair, embroidering a small insole, not even as big as her palm. These two insoles belonged to Bai Xiaoya. In addition to the insoles, Bai Qingyu also had two equally small and cute cat-shaped socks on her legs.

"Auntie, do you think this is right?"

Beside Bai Qingyu, Qingji handed over the embroidery in her hand, which suddenly featured a blooming lotus flower.

In the past two years, Qingji has not had the mind to think about Anzhen. She has long put Anzhen's matter out of her mind and focused on learning embroidery from Bai Qingyu.

Her embroidery was done in conjunction with Xiaodie's. Xiaodie was in charge of making the clothes, while she was in charge of the embroidery. Back and forth, the two of them, one human and one demon, became very good friends.

"Hmm, not bad, the details are also very well done. As long as it stays like this, it will be perfect." Bai Qingyu inserted the needle into the insole, took the embroidery, and carefully examined it.

"With Auntie saying that, I feel relieved." Kiyohime smiled faintly.

No sooner had the words left her lips than a slightly shrill female voice rang out from the courtyard, "Xiao Ya!"

Bai Qingyu and Qingji turned their heads at the same time and saw that a little girl with pigtails had plucked two beautiful dark red spider lilies from a large flower bed near the backyard. When Xiaoya heard someone calling her from behind, she turned her head and looked at the flower bed with her big eyes full of doubt.

The spider lily hurried over, took the flower from Xiaoya's hand, and used its demonic power to replant it in the soil.
