After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

It's an ocean current.

A warm ocean current enveloped him, gently lifting him up and swaying him slowly.

That was an experience I had never had before.

It felt like returning to the womb, surrounded by the most primal warmth, carefree and without a care in the world.

Xu Ze opened his eyes and looked at Mu Yan.

She was looking at him quietly, her eyes full of tenderness.

“You know,” she suddenly spoke, her voice very soft, as if afraid of disturbing something, “I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time.”

Xu Ze remained silent.

“Three hundred years,” she continued, “a full three hundred years.”

She reached out and gently stroked his cheek.

Those slender, soft fingers created ripples as they moved through the lava.

“Every day, every night, even every moment, I think about when you will come.”

"I've imagined our reunion countless times."

"Perhaps it was in the imperial court, you appeared as a retainer of a noble family, or perhaps it was in the dead of night, you secretly sneaked into the Phoenix Palace and found me there, just like the first time..."

She paused, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Only in the depths of this magma can I tell you these words."

"I really miss you. Please never leave me again, okay?"

Her enormous, delicate body trembled slightly, and her breathtakingly beautiful face was filled with grievance and resentment.

Even so, Mu Yan did not blame Xu Ze, but spoke in an almost pleading tone.

Xu Ze quickly grabbed her hand.

"I'm sorry," he said with some guilt, "I've kept you waiting for so long."

Mu Yan shook her head.

"No need to apologize." She suddenly smiled. "It'll be alright once we get there."

She leaned closer and gently rested her head on his shoulder.

The two embraced quietly in the lava, letting the warm current envelop them and sway gently.

"Xu Ze," she suddenly called out to him.

"Hmm?" Xu Ze turned his head slightly.

Do you remember something I said to you before?

Mu Yan smiled, looking at the young man in her arms with doting eyes.

Xu Ze shook his head. "Which part?"

"Well... I once said that I found a very beautiful seashell on the beach." The stunningly beautiful woman exhaled softly, "From then on, I never went to the beach again."

Xu Ze was slightly taken aback.

Mu Yan raised her head and looked at him.

Those phoenix eyes reflected the firelight of the lava, and also his own shadow.

"Why?" Xu Ze asked, "Aren't there other seashells? What if they're even prettier?"

Mu Yan smiled.

That smile was as gentle as the spring sunshine.

“No,” she said. “I only want my seashell.”

She reached out and gently touched his heart.

"It's like being in a wheat field. When I find that one ear of wheat I like, I'll walk through the whole field with my eyes closed."

"Because I know that the best one is already in my hands."

Xu Ze looked at her quietly.

He suddenly understood a sentence in the real world.

When you have an apple, you only care about the apple.

"I understand."

Xu Ze looked at the peerless face before him, and at those phoenix eyes that held the weight of countless ages.

Looking at the woman who had waited for him for three hundred years.

He lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead.

The kiss was light and gentle, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

But Mu Yan felt that it was more exciting than any passionate kiss.

She suddenly raised her head, her phoenix eyes fixed on Xu Ze.

Are you still angry about the 'seal'?

Xu Ze was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but laugh when he saw her cautious appearance.

It's really frustrating to have a gun but not be able to use it.

But now I know that there is a woman who has silently sacrificed so much for me.

Those feelings of patience and resentment have long since vanished.

However, Xu Ze didn't say it directly, but instead asked her in return:

Why are you suddenly asking this?

before.

"Because I think you must be feeling very uncomfortable."

Mu Yan bit her lip, revealing a rare hint of girlish shyness.

"And also, just now on the mountaintop, I teased you so much, and even burned your clothes with divine fire..." she said, her face slightly flushed, "Aren't you angry?"

Xu Ze looked at her.

This woman was just moments ago so imposing, using absolute pressure to intimidate the entire Fire Cloud Valley, causing tens of thousands of cultivators to kneel and submit.

At this moment, however, she acted like a little girl, cautiously asking him if he was angry.

The contrast is just too great.

He deliberately put on a stern face: "I'm angry."

"You fucking locked me up, huh? Before I found the fragments, I fucking thought I was Yang Wei, you know that?!"

Mu Yan's face stiffened slightly and turned somewhat pale.

"That……"

“However,” Xu Ze interrupted her, reaching out to gently stroke her cheek, “since you said you did this because you like me, then I won’t be angry.”

Feeling the warmth of the young man's palm on her cheek, Mu Yan was stunned.

“Two people who love each other are not enemies,” Xu Ze continued softly. “All I want is a few kind words.”

Often, as long as two people open their hearts and one person humbles themselves, the other will readily offer a way out.

Countless conflicts will be resolved.

Mu Yan stared at him blankly.

A layer of mist suddenly welled up in those phoenix eyes.

"You..." Her voice trembled slightly, "Do you really think that way?"

Xu Ze nodded.

"of course."

Mu Yan remained silent for a moment.

Then, she suddenly laughed.

That smile was as radiant as the warmest sunshine in spring, as bright as the brightest star in the night sky.

"Alright." Mu Yan's voice was so gentle as if she was afraid of disturbing something. "Since you want to hear sweet words, then I'll say a hundred, ten thousand for you, okay?"

She cleared her throat and said seriously:

"My husband, I love you."

"I've liked you ever since I first saw you three hundred years ago."

I love the way you draw your sword in battle, I love the focus you have when we discuss philosophy, and I love the gentleness you occasionally show.

"After you left, I couldn't sleep every night because I thought about you."

“I have engraved your name on the foundation of my soul, so that no matter how many times you are reincarnated, I will be able to find you.”

"I have waited for three hundred years, and finally you have returned."

With each word she spoke, she leaned a little closer to him.

"I loved how you held me just now, I loved the feeling of your kiss, I loved your voice..."

After she finished speaking, she looked up at him.

Those eyes were incredibly bright.

I love everything about you.

Xu Ze looked at her, and an indescribable warmth welled up in his heart.

This woman, the Empress Dowager, ruled the Central Continent for three hundred years, making billions of living beings bow down in submission.

At this moment, however, she was like a young girl experiencing her first love, speaking sweet nothings word by word.

Just to make him happy.
