e's fine now, you should come home with me obediently. In the future, be more careful with your words and actions! Don't give people a chance to gossip!" She grabbed Lin Yanqin's wrist and dragged her...Mu Xiaoqiao stuffed me with a bag of dog food as she left, making it even harder for me to sleep.

I was still being too naive before. The world Mu Wanchen lived in wasn't just a paradise hidden within the magical arts. Anything has two sides. After seeing the monochromatic secret realm, I should have thought that there were dark places unknown to people.

Shamans can communicate with the spirits of heaven and earth, while witchcraft can influence limbs and people's hearts.

Have I been bewitched by him too

But he's so good to me, and I can't find fault with him... besides the fact that we don't live in the same "world". I really can't find any other flaws.

Why don't I try to coax him into living with me

If Heaven truly wants to uphold the Way, how can one person possibly turn the tide

And the problem here is already serious...There's even a ghost town Should I act cute and clingy, asking him to take me there

At three in the morning, I sat up in bed half-asleep, my mind a jumble of fragments. One moment I'd think back to the night I first met Mu Wanchen, the next I'd be jolted by the terrifying image of Sister Lu's husband...

The tumultuous scene, in the end, all returned to that night when I lay beneath him, crossing his shoulders, and saw a full tree of blossoming flowers and a galaxy cascading like a waterfall.

"Peach Blossom Spring…" I mumbled, my consciousness hazy.

"Huh What are you mumbling in your sleep" a soft voice whispered behind her.

I was startled and, clutching my dizzy head, turned to look. Mu Wanchen was removing his outer robe, sitting on the edge of the bed preparing to lie behind me.

"You... finished so quickly!"

"Come on... it's almost dawn, I was afraid you couldn't sleep alone, so I came to have a look." He leaned back against me, his head resting on his arm, and closed his eyes.

A strong arm encircled my waist, pulling me completely into his embrace.

The neck felt his breath.

It's so warm...no, it should be hot.

"...You guys, you weirdos here. That old monster, the Dragon King, what's with all this shenanigans What are you trying to do" I was wide awake now, clutching his hand, refusing to let him close his eyes.

"Sacrificing to heaven, earth, and rivers is a major event for the divine king. After having a queen, it will be the queen's responsibility to prepare these rituals in the future. Therefore, this sacrifice is equivalent to letting all generations of divine kings acknowledge your position." He said slowly.

My mind suddenly lit up, and I blurted out, "Where are the divine kings of ages past Are they in the altar"

Mu Wanchen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at me. I quickly turned my head, facing him with the back of my head, and whispered, "It's... it was my mistress who told me some things... I didn't just guess."

“What do you want to know Just ask me directly, why go through someone else” His tone was flat, as if he had no intention of hiding anything.

"I want to know so much! Xiao Shi Niang said there's also a Ghost King City here. What does that mean Is there really a Ghost King City for ghosts to live in!"

“About that.”

"What do you mean by 'almost' ... Speak clearly, I don't want to live with ghosts all day! Last time at the altar, it was that red-cloaked ghost who jumped out and scared us —"

“She was only at the edge of the altar, not entering the core… She wasn’t a princess in the strictest sense, so she couldn’t go inside.” Mu Wanchen explained.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The more I listened, the more confused I became. I turned to Mu Wanchen and said seriously, “Mu Wanchen, I’m stupid and ignorant. I haven’t practiced Taoism since childhood, nor do I understand witchcraft or your beliefs. You have to be patient and teach me… I always thought that there were immortals living in the Fa Men, with beautiful scenery, detached from the world, a paradise, a fairyland… But suddenly you say there’s a ghost city, I…”

Mu Wanchen reached out and pinched my face. He really pinched it, his big hand could slap my whole face flat.

He deliberately rubbed against me, pinching my cheeks and shaking his head softly, “Little Yin Luo, in this world, even if there are methods to separate oneself from war, famine, plague, and natural disasters, it cannot change the cycle of birth and death. Immortals and demons also have their own karmic cycles of birth and death. How much more so for ordinary people who are entangled with seven emotions and six desires To be detached from the world Then there will only be internal strife…”

"Peach Blossom Spring, a land of immortals...Hmph...If I really had to say, there's only here—" he gestured to the space between us where we were embracing.

"Now, for me, where you are is my paradise."

“...”

What does that even mean... Ugh.

My face is a little red.

"It didn't matter before, I could live and die with my people. But now...I can't let you suffer with me." He chuckled lightly.

"Don't worry, I wouldn't let you live in fear following me. Just relax here, enjoy yourself, eat, drink and have fun. If you want to go home, you can. I won't restrict your freedom."

Hmph…

"You, you brought your wife back just to keep her well-fed and entertained"

"Well then, I was going to worship you anyway. Who made you carry such important things" He laughed and rubbed my little belly.

I know he was talking about the "female gu," but the female gu is only the size of a pearl. His actions seem more like some kind of hint.

"Little Luo'er," Mu Wanchen leaned in close to my lips and whispered, "Here, I can protect you as much as possible. You can act however you want, as long as you stay within my reach..."

Mmm... Don't people in love think their partner is sweet

I sneakily nibbled on the tip of his tongue, then licked my lips with satisfaction.

Mu Wanchen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and asked: "Is it delicious"

"...Not bad, a little sweet, just palatable."

"Humph, then I'll bite you a few times"

" ...Bite again and it'll catch fire!" I was rational! This isn't our own room!

"Go ahead and light it, you're not going to sleep anyway. I'll carry you back when the sun rises and we can continue sleeping." Mu Wanchen said openly, without a shred of embarrassment.

"But this is Nanshan, not our—"

"Hm Nanshan used to be my back garden. Now I've lent it to Master for your cultivation, it's part of the Wuhwang Mountain City's methods, you see." His lips brushed lightly against my earlobe.

It's really a pain... I have no resistance to him at all.

I don't know how long I slept until I heard a melodious and hazy horn sound in my ear —
