The little guy's eyes crinkled with laughter, and the silver-white dragon horns on his head shone with a soft, gentle luster in the setting sun.

Gu Yuena sat quietly by the picnic mat, watching the warm and lively scene before her, her deep purple eyes filled with an unyielding tenderness.

Zhang Lexuan brought over a plate of sliced ​​fresh fruit, sat down next to her, and smiled gently as she followed her gaze.

"You're just like me."

Gu Yuena tilted her head slightly: "What does it look like?"

"Nianyue," Zhang Lexuan said softly as she arranged the fruit platter, "Your eyebrows and temperament are just like his, and your lively and carefree nature is just like His Majesty's."

Gu Yuena remained silent for a moment, then a gentle smile slowly curved her lips.

"Yes."

Xiao Xiao and Meng Hongchen squatted by the stove, quietly helping to light the fire and boil water.

The three-eyed golden lion went and picked a large bunch of wildflowers, put them in empty wine bottles, and placed them around the picnic mat. The simple arrangement added a lot of warmth and coziness.

On the other side, the Purple Emperor Extinction Dragon King finally climbed ashore from the lake, soaking wet, his black hair plastered to his cheeks and neck, looking as disheveled as a drowned black dragon.

He dragged his water-soaked body to the mat, plopped down, grabbed a wine glass, and gulped down a large mouthful, looking utterly exhausted.

"This life is too tiring, even more agonizing than when I was imprisoned and locked up as a dragon."

Xu Yanli finally got up from under the tree, walked over and sat down next to him, raised his wine glass and gently clinked it against his, his tone carrying a hint of mocking schadenfreude.

You'll get used to it eventually.

Zihuang Mietian Dragon King glared at him fiercely, but ultimately had nowhere to vent his anger, so he tilted his head back and drank the wine clean.

"Oh, right." He suddenly remembered something and asked casually, "Where's your mother? I haven't seen Wangshu today."

Xu Yanli paused slightly in the hand holding the wine glass, a meaningful smile appearing on his lips.

"She..."

Before he could finish speaking, a crisp sound of a cell phone shutter suddenly came from the edge of the woods.

Everyone present turned to look at the scene instantly.

Xu Wangshu had arrived at the edge of the woods sometime earlier.

She wore an elegant light blue dress, her long, snow-white hair was tied up with a simple wooden hairpin, and she held up an incongruous cell phone in her hand, smiling gently at everyone.

That's right, it's a mobile phone.

Since Xu Yanli ascended to godhood and took control of the universe, the system that had been dormant for a long time suddenly reappeared, congratulating him on completing all his destined missions, and even asking him if he wanted to bring back his mother who was trapped in another dimension.

Xu Yanli agreed without hesitation.

On the day Xu Wangshu returned, he brought a whole bunch of strange and unusual things with him.

This phone also comes with a charger, external hard drive, laptop, and even a solar-powered power bank.

These were all items she brought with her when she transmigrated, which had been gathering dust in her storage space all this time. She always thought that if she could go back someday, she might be able to use them.

She was unable to return, and these things remained quietly stored away for decades.

It wasn't until Xu Yanli became a god and broke through space to bring her back that these objects from another world finally saw the light of day again.

"Don't move! Everyone, stay in your current positions!"

Xu Wangshu held up her phone and took a series of photos of the lively crowd by the lake.

"Xiao Zi, hold the fish higher, yes, just like that, don't move it."

"Bone Robe, move a little to the left, don't block the light."

"Xiao Lü, relax and smile, don't be so reserved."

"Nianyue, look over here at your great-grandmother! Good girl!"

Xu Nianyue, who was squatting by the pot and working diligently, looked up immediately upon hearing the sound. She blinked her round, purple-gold eyes and subconsciously made a childish peace sign.

Click.

Xu Wangshu looked at the soft and cute little face on the screen and smiled with her eyes crinkling.

"This one is so beautiful, I'll print it out and hang it on the living room wall later."

Xu Yanli held his wine glass, quietly watching his mother busily taking photos, his eyes filled with tenderness and warmth.

He remembered that his mother had once said that before she traveled through time, her favorite thing was photography.

Back when she was the eldest princess in Star Luo City, she had no say in her own life and had no chance to play or take photos. Later, betrayed by her closest relatives, stripped of her martial spirit, and subjected to endless torment, she lost all will to live. Then, when she was stranded in the Sun Moon Empire, her body was broken and frail, and she had the will but not the strength.

After so many years of wandering, she can finally settle down and do what she loves.

"Sister Wangshu!"

The three-eyed golden lion skipped over, approached the phone, and curiously peered inside.

"Let me see! Isn't it a good photo?!"

Xu Wangshu handed her the phone, and the three-eyed golden lion flipped through the photos one by one, then suddenly screamed excitedly in a low voice.

"This photo is amazing! Gu Yue looks so beautiful! When did you secretly take this picture?"

On the screen, Gu Yuena sits alone by the lake, her silver hair gently lifted by the evening breeze. The afterglow of the setting sun bathes her in a soft golden light, making her look serene and otherworldly.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Xu Wangshu smiled calmly. "My photography skills are professional."

The three-eyed golden lion nodded repeatedly, holding onto its phone tightly, reluctant to let go.

Xu Wangshu wasn't in a hurry to take it back. He turned around and took out a bunch of equipment from his storage soul tool.

DSLR camera, telephoto lens, folding tripod, everything is available.

Xu Chengan stared at the complete set of equipment in front of him and remained silent for several seconds.

He finally understood what his father meant when he said that "his great-grandmother brought an entire photography studio with her across time."

"Come on, everyone gather around, let's take a family photo!"

Xu Wangshu quickly set up the tripod, adjusted the focus and angle, set the timer for shooting, and then ran quickly to the middle of the crowd to stand still.

"Little Purple is tall, so she stands at the very back."

"Little Green stood next to him, just right."

“Gu Yi is holding Nian Yue and standing right in the middle, leaving the center position to our little dragon god.”

"Gu Yue, stand to the left of Gu Yi."

“Cheng’an, stand next to your father, don’t keep a straight face, smile.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Chengan smiled gently.

Click.

The crisp sound of the shutter clicked, and this moment of tenderness and liveliness was captured and preserved forever.

Lake Life ripples with clear blue water, the afterglow of the setting sun bathes the entire land, the picnic mat is laden with delicious food, and the mushroom soup in the pot is bubbling away, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.

In the picture, everyone is smiling.

The God of Destruction, Xiao Zi, held a wine glass, a hint of lingering embarrassment on her face, yet her eyes remained gentle. The Goddess of Life nestled beside him, tender and serene. Ye Guyi held little Xu Nianyue in his arms, the little one tugging at her mother's golden hair, laughing innocently. Gu Yuena stood to the side, her purple eyes reflecting the sunset, a gentle smile playing on her lips.

The three-eyed golden lion had its arm around Xiao Xiao's shoulder, its smile radiant and bright. Zhang Lexuan and Meng Hongchen stood side by side, holding fruit wine, their expressions serene and relaxed.

Xu Yanli stood in the center of the crowd, a jade fan at his waist swaying gently in the breeze, his eyes gentle and his smile serene. Xu Cheng'an stood beside him, his blond hair fluttering in the evening wind, his eyes revealing a rare composure and tranquility for a young man.

Xu Wangshu stood beside the camera, looking at the heartwarming family photo on the screen, her eyes slightly reddening.

She vaguely recalled countless memories from the past.

I recall the feeling of being alone in this strange world, with no relatives or friends around, feeling utterly lost and helpless.

He recalled the despair of being cruelly betrayed by his own brother, being punished by heaven and having his martial spirit destroyed, being stranded in a foreign land, suffering endless humiliation, and dying without anyone knowing.

I remember how naively I liked Tang San and Xiao Wu back then, but now, I really don't want to face the person I was at the beginning.

However, she later began to scheme, and even this son was a backup plan she left behind.

She was gambling, gambling that they, as transmigrators, were unwilling to be reduced to being someone else's dogs, and at the same time, that he was unwilling to simply bear a son for that dog emperor. So…

As the sun slowly sank below the horizon, the last rays of light fell upon the lake, creating a shimmering, tranquil scene.

The mushroom soup is finally ready.

Xu Nianyue couldn't wait to take a bite. She blew on it because it was too hot, her cheeks puffed out, but she couldn't bear to spit it out and mumbled incoherently.

"Delicious! Little Green's soup is the best in the world!"

The goddess of life knelt down and carefully wiped the soup from the corner of her mouth, her eyes gentle and tender.

Xu Cheng'an stood quietly by the lake, holding a bowl of warm soup, watching the twilight gradually darken.

Xu Yanli walked slowly to his side, and the father and son stood side by side, their robes fluttering in the evening breeze.

After a long silence, Xu Chengan spoke softly.

"Father."

"Ah."

"Can these peaceful and lively days continue forever?"

Xu Yan'an paused for a moment, then turned to look at his son beside him, his eyes filled with unwavering certainty and tenderness.

He nodded slightly.

"Will do."

"I promise."

Looking at the determination in his father's eyes, Xu Cheng'an slowly smiled.

Her smile was gentle, yet warmer and more touching than the afterglow of a setting sun.

In the distance, Xu Wangshu raised his camera again.

Click.

Another gentle blessing of peace and tranquility year after year is carefully treasured.

Xu Wangshu wondered if drinking the mushroom would cause him to become intoxicated.
