Two equally stunning women stood face to face, similar in height but with vastly different auras, yet both exuding an unapproachable presence.

The air seemed to heat up because of their standoff.

"This does not change the fact that you are ignorant."

Xi Yue said calmly, her tone even carrying a hint of pity.

"I was ignorant?"

Ding Wan still sneered, a hint of disdain in her eyes:

"Don't think I don't know what you Upper Realms are all plotting!"

"You're exploiting a loophole in the interdimensional passage, trying to control the variables... You're in cahoots with the 'Heavenly Court'!"

Upon hearing this...

Xi Yue's pupils contracted slightly at first, then she shook her head, her tone becoming more serious:

“If you still think these are ‘two worlds,’ you’re sorely mistaken! And you even call yourself his wife…”

There were some things Xi Yue couldn't say to Ding Wan. This woman would indeed be very strong in the future, but that was only in terms of strength.

She doesn't understand anything at all!

They didn't understand the karma Xu Ze carried, nor the storm that was about to sweep across two worlds.

“I don’t need to understand the intricacies of your ‘upper realm’,” Ding Wan retorted. “All I know is that he is my husband, my lawfully wedded husband.”

"In this world, there are laws, order, and a first-come, first-served principle."

"First come, first served?" Xi Yue raised an eyebrow. "According to the timeline, when I was observing him in the Moon Palace, you were probably still somewhere out there."

"Observe? It should be more like spying," Ding Wan sneered. "The dignified mistress of the Moon Palace, doing such sneaky things, isn't she ashamed?"

"you--"

"enough."

Xu Ze finally spoke, his voice not loud, but carrying an undeniable power.

He gently freed himself from Ding Wan's hand, stepped between the two, and separated their two stunningly beautiful faces that were almost touching.

"Sit down first." He said calmly. "I don't understand what you're saying. If you want to argue, why don't you tell me everything you know from beginning to end before you start arguing?"

Xu Ze didn't like this feeling of being a 'riddler'.

Although he had already learned a fair share of the 'truth' through the first two instances.

But ultimately, it's all just speculation.

Everyone here knows more than you do, so why not listen to what they have to say?

But as Xu Ze finished speaking...

The two women in front of him turned their faces away at the same time, no longer confronting each other.

Xi Yue, in particular, still glared at him with a flushed face, as if she were looking at an enemy.

"No comment!"

"My husband, the answer can only be found by you..."

Normally, Ding Wan would be very shy to call her that.

But today, she was much more well-behaved, which was quite a contrast to her appearance.

Just as the atmosphere was beginning to ease.

My younger sister, Xi Rou, has completely lost interest in the television.

For her, those complicated emotional entanglements were far less interesting than the colorful world on the television screen.

"Sister, look at this!"

Xi Rou pointed at the TV, seemingly oblivious to the tense atmosphere just now, "The little figures inside move! And they make sounds!"

A travel program is playing on TV, switching between scenes of scenery from around the world.

Xi Rou stared intently, her amber eyes filled with amazement.

She had never seen such a 'magic weapon' before. Even the Viewing Stone of the Upper Realm could not present the scenery of such a distant place so clearly in front of her, with audio narration, as if she were there in person.

Seeing this, Bai Yuxi quietly slipped out from the center of the 'battleground' and moved closer to Xi Rou.

"Xiaorou, do you want to watch something more fun?" Bai Yuxi whispered, picking up the remote to change the channel.

The screen flickered a few times, and then a classic opening sequence featuring a lion roaring appeared.

As cheerful music began to play, Xi Rou was immediately drawn to it: "What is this?"

“Animated films are… stories told through little figures in drawings.” Bai Yuxi tried to explain in a way that the other person could understand, sitting cross-legged next to Xi Rou. “They’re really funny, you see?”

In the scene, Tom is tiptoeing towards Jerry, but he accidentally steps on a roller skate, flies off, crashes into the wall, and turns into a flat cat pancake.

"Pfft! Hahaha!"

Xi Rou couldn't help but laugh out loud, her voice as clear and crisp as a bell.

She quickly covered her mouth and stole a glance at her sister.

Fortunately, my sister was focused on arguing with that fierce woman and didn't have time to pay attention to her.

So Xi Rou continued watching without worry.

When she saw Jerry lure Tom into a trap with cheese, and Tom fall and get bumped all over his head, she laughed so hard she almost cried.

"This mouse is so clever! The cat is so stupid!"

She laughed and commented, completely immersed in the world of animation.

This is very much in line with her mindset. Although she is a fairy of the moon palace and has cultivated for a long time, Xi Rou's mind has always remained pure and innocent.

Back in the Moon Palace, she loved reading human stories and listening to all sorts of interesting tales. Now that she'd discovered the "magical device" of television, it was like opening the door to a whole new world.

Seeing Xi Rou's happy expression, Bai Yuxi couldn't help but smile as well.

She suddenly felt that with such an innocent and carefree little guy around, the atmosphere in the villa had become much more relaxed.

……

the other side.

The argument between Xi Yue and Ding Wan came to a temporary end thanks to Xu Ze's intervention.

Xi Yue felt a tightness in her chest, partly because she was angry with Ding Wan, and partly because she was really uncomfortable wearing modern clothes all day.

My shirt feels like it's about to burst open all the time, and my jeans are so tight they make it hard to move around.

"This young lady needs to take a bath and change her clothes."

She said it with a cold face.

Because she and Ding Wan don't get along, Bai Yuxi is also taking care of her younger sister.

Xi Yue could only ask Xu Ze where the bathroom was before she hurriedly went upstairs alone.

During this time, she also declined any help from anyone.

"...Are you sure you can do it?"

"Of course!"

Inside the villa, there were some simple spare clothes. Xi Yue rummaged through them and managed to pick out a few loose pajamas.

Although I'm still not used to it, it's at least more comfortable than jeans or something.

She found the bathroom in the master bedroom, went in, and locked the door.

The bathroom is large, clean, and bright, with a huge jacuzzi and a separate shower.

Xi Yue examined the silver faucets and showerheads, trying to figure out how to use them.

In the Moon Palace, bathing is done with spiritual springs formed from the moon's essence, or by collecting morning dew and evening glow. There are no complicated tools for that.

She hesitated for a moment, then reached out and turned on the shower.

"Splash—"

The water gushed out without warning, and it was still cool, splashing directly all over her!

"ah!"

Xi Yue exclaimed in surprise, instantly getting soaked from head to toe.

The thin clothes clung tightly to her body, outlining her slender waist and graceful curves. The fabric became semi-transparent, vaguely revealing her fair skin underneath.

Her face flushed red, and she frantically tried to turn off the water, but the more she tried, the worse it got, with water spraying everywhere and the entire shower room filled with steam.

Finally, Xi Yue retreated in a disheveled state, standing soaking wet on the bathroom floor tiles.

She looked at herself in the mirror, her hair dripping wet and her clothes disheveled, and felt both ashamed and angry.

What kind of broken magic weapon is this?!

Why is it so difficult to use!

She bit her lip, feeling the slight warmth emanating from the red thread on her wrist.

Xu Ze is downstairs, not far away.

After much hesitation, Xi Yue blushed and sent a thought through the red thread.

It felt strange, like speaking in your mind but the other person could "hear" you.

How is this water-spraying device used?

A few seconds later, a response came from the other end of the red line, tinged with a smile.

Turn the knob clockwise to adjust the water temperature: left for hot water, right for cold water. The middle knob adjusts the water flow. Remember to adjust the water temperature before standing in the tub.

Xi Yue followed the instructions and finally succeeded this time.

Warm water flows evenly from the showerhead, with a moderate temperature and comfortable water pressure.

She breathed a sigh of relief, took off her soaking wet clothes, and stood under the water curtain.

The warm water washed over my body, relieving the fatigue and tension of the day.
