Lin'an.

"The world says being an immortal is good, but only slacking off is unforgettable!"

A youth in green robes walked leisurely down the street, carrying a pot of turbid wine, looking extremely carefree.

"By the way, Old Liu, have you considered returning to your own world to start a family?"

Suddenly, a youth caught up, "Your family has been urging you for a long time."

Liu Yu spread his hands: "I'm almost an immortal; why start a family? They say descendants are the continuation of life, but I am going to be immortal; what do I need a family or descendants for?"

"But your parents want you to go back and be an adventurer!"

Liu Yu looked even more disgusted: "Adventurer? Not even a dog would do that. I am under the Dao Lord, helping him govern the lower realm; isn't that much better than being an adventurer? The Dao Lord hasn't treated us poorly, has he? What's wrong with you today, blowing this strange wind?"

"Isn't it because your parents want you to go back?" The visitor looked helpless, "They are worried you aren't doing well in another world and want to find someone to look after you."

"Don't, don't! I am as carefree as an immortal now; what kind of care do I need?" Liu Yu was startled, "Didn't I tell them when I went home last time? I am doing very well, eating well, sleeping well; why don't they believe me!"

"They said you are stuck in the feudal era and wouldn't be used to the life."

Liu Yu hummed proudly: "Feudal era? It won't be long before the ancient world becomes a kingdom of heaven on earth. Alright, the message is delivered; come drink with me."

"Alright! To be honest, we are truly like fish in water in this era. Under the Dao Lord's rule, everyone lives in peace and contentment, and there are no annoying rules. If it weren't for your mother's repeated instructions, I wouldn't want to lecture you!"

"Just repeated instructions, no benefits?" Liu Yu chuckled, "I know you; you're the type who won't scatter the eagle until you see the rabbit."

"Don't you have an older sister? Your mother said that if it works out, she will betroth your sister to me."

Liu Yu was speechless: "Good for you, you brat want to be my brother-in-law. My mother too, still playing those old tricks, without even asking if my sister agrees?"

"What do you think! If your sister didn't agree, would your mother say that?" The youth laughed, "Am I not handsome?"

"Forget it, forget it." Liu Yu shook his head, "I can't be bothered with you guys."

The two walked away chatting, leaving the commoners dumbfounded.

In the past, when officials traveled, they would have to be in an eight-bearer sedan chair, followed by a long procession, with great prestige.

And now?

These officials walk themselves, without any pomp.

Even when handling matters, the efficiency is many times higher.

In the government offices, they have even abolished rules like the "killing prestige" rod.

"They are all upright officials; our good days have come!"

"Indeed, my family even received dozens of acres of land. According to the current taxes, we will have endless rice to eat in the future."

"It's so good! It is said that these officials were sent down by the Dao Lord of the upper realm. Do you think we should build a Daoist temple for the Dao Lord?"

"Build it, of course we should!"

Although the commoners were still wearing patched clothes, their spirits were higher than ever before.

A carriage procession slowly passed by. Zhao Yun sat in the carriage, with only his Empress beside him, looking cold and desolate.

"These commoners, a moment ago they were my subjects, and the next moment they go to worship others. They truly have no respect for their sovereign," Zhao Yun sighed, "Do they not miss their old master at all?"

The Empress dared not answer.

Ever since he lost the throne, Zhao Yun's temper had become much more irritable. If she said the wrong thing, she feared she would suffer.

In her heart, she was very dismissive: "The world is bustling for profit; the world is jostling for profit. How would the commoners care who the emperor is? As long as they are well-fed, isn't it the same whoever is the emperor?"

Zhao Yun didn't really want the Empress to answer; he was just feeling sad and helpless.

Listening to the laughter on the long street, he felt empty inside and increasingly irritable, so he could only urge: "Coachman, faster, I must leave here quickly."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The eunuch driving the carriage hurriedly responded and cracked the whip a few times, and the carriage's speed increased significantly.

Near dusk, Zhao Yun's carriage drove out of Lin'an and slowly merged into the night.

Chat Group.

Xiao Nannan: "I broke through again. Cultivation feels so simple."

Su Xiao: "Something's wrong, something's wrong. Didn't they say Xiao Nannan's talent wasn't good?"

Ye Hei: "But with the Dao Lord's elixirs, what cultivation bottleneck could stump a Xiao Nannan with extraordinary comprehension?"

Su Xiao: "Seems like that's true."

Huang Rong: "By the way, Su Xiao, the group of people you borrowed from me don't want to return to your world. What should I do?"

Su Xiao: "... They don't want to come back? That's fine too. If it were me, if I could roam a world and be carefree in the immortal realm, I wouldn't want to return to the secular world and be bound by all sorts of rules."

Hu Yifei: "Indeed, the secular world is too terrifying. When you reach a certain age, they make you get married; when you reach a certain age, they make you establish a career. If you come from a wealthy family, you might not feel anything. For ordinary people, this is simply a disaster."

Xiao Yan'er: "Stop talking, stop talking. I'm reminded of the experience of being urged to marry in my past life; it was simply terrifying!" ===== CHAPTER 964 =====

Huang Rong: "By the way, Su Xiao, that group of people you lent me earlier don't want to return to your world anymore. What should I do?"

Su Xiao: ".! They don't want to come back? That's fine too. If it were me, being able to roam freely in a world and live carefree in the immortal realm, I wouldn't want to return to the secular world and be

bound by all sorts of rules either."

Hu Yifei: "Indeed, the secular world is too terrifying. Once you reach a certain age, they make you get married; once you reach a certain age, they make you establish a career. If you come from a wealthy family, you might

not feel it much. For ordinary people, this is simply a disaster."

Xiao Yan'er: "Stop, don't say any more. You've reminded me of my experience of being pressured to marry in my past life. It was truly terrifying!"
