Chapter 101: The Fate of Peach Mountain

"Yun Ying!"

Waking from sleep, tears streamed down Yun Hua Fairy's face.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Yun Hua Fairy's state, Ao Yifan asked, puzzled.

"My lord, it's my fault that I harmed my cousin!"

Yun Hua Fairy flung herself into Ao Yifan's arms, then slowly described the scene she had just seen through heaven-man induction.

"So that's how it is!"

Ao Yifan nodded, deep in thought.

He wondered why the Heavenly Realm had not yet sent anyone to cause trouble for Princess Long Ji.

It turned out that the immortal dispatched by the Heavenly Realm had captured Yun Hua Fairy's cousin, Yun Ying Fairy.

"So you mean your cousin is now suppressed beneath Peach Mountain by your brother—do you know the exact location?"

Ao Yifan asked.

He was also quite curious about that cousin.

After all, thanks to his intervention, Yun Hua Fairy avoided being suppressed beneath Peach Mountain and the pain of being separated from her children.

But this karmic consequence fell upon that cousin.

In other words, that cousin has inherited a portion of the fortune that originally belonged to Yun Hua Fairy, making her also a great fortune bearer.

What's more, there's also the Three Holy Mother!

You know, the Three Holy Mother's son Chen Xiang is also a great fortune bearer, which makes Ao Yifan feel a hint of curiosity.

"I already know the exact location."

Yun Hua Fairy said, "However, given my understanding of my brother, he surely prepared a countermeasure; if I went there, I would certainly be discovered by him at once."

"Then, how about I go check it out for you?"

Ao Yifan said, "By the way, we can also study how to split Peach Mountain and rescue your cousin."

Hearing this, Yun Hua Fairy felt a surge of emotion and flung herself into Ao Yifan's arms.

"My lord, you're so kind!"

"You are my wife; if I don't treat you well, who else should I treat well?"

Ao Yifan held Yun Hua Fairy and comforted her softly.

Meanwhile, rubbing her eyes, Princess Long Ji said speechlessly, "Aren't you tired?"

"'What sleep? Get up and party!'"

Ao Yifan curled the corner of his mouth into a wicked smile.

At the same time, a light curse of 'damn it' came from within the Jade Pond.

……

"Really, it's Peach Mountain!"

Looking at the mountain before him that resembled a peach, Ao Yifan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Just then, Ao Yifan saw two figures, one large and one small, holding tools, chiseling at Peach Mountain.

"Looking at them, it seems they are preparing to chisel open Peach Mountain."

Ao Yifan thought to himself.

"Dad, why must we chisel open this mountain?"

Suddenly, the child turned to the middle-aged man beside him and asked.

His small hands strained as he moved the stones, showing that this was no easy task.

"Chang'er, our Liu family has lived in this village for generations; this Peach Mountain suddenly appeared, completely blocking the passage between our village and the outside world. Only by chiseling open this Peach Mountain can the villagers have a way to survive!"

The middle-aged man looked solemn and spoke to the child beside him.

Hearing this, Ao Yifan couldn't help but shake his head.

As the saying goes, when the gods are angry, mortals suffer.

The August Heaven Emperor merely wanted to find a random place to imprison his cousin, but he didn't realize that his casual act would bring generations of trouble to mortals.

"No, the Liu family, Chang'er—could it be?!"

Ao Yifan's gaze fell on the little boy; his Heavenly Dao Eye activated, and he immediately saw that the boy actually had a faint trace of immortal affinity!

"Could this be the future Liu Yanchang?"

It is very rare for mortals to possess immortal affinity.

According to Ao Yifan's judgment, this boy is very likely the future Liu Yanchang.

His affinity with the Three Holy Mother probably began when his family started chiseling the mountain.

Although the father and son's actions were merely to carve out a path to the outside world for their own existence,

yet what they are doing is indeed rescuing the Three Holy Mother and her mother, who are suppressed beneath the mountain.

"So does that mean their fate was set from this point?"

Ao Yifan furrowed his brows.

To be honest, he thoroughly dislikes that guy Liu Yanchang.

After all, that guy really lacks responsibility.

"Hmph, for the sake of my cousin's daughter's happiness, I will sever this karmic tie!"

Ao Yifan only felt that the Three Holy Mother was being wronged, with no other thoughts.

With a wave of his right hand, in the next moment a mountain path bypassing Peach Mountain and leading to the outside world appeared before the Liu father and son.

"Dad, what is this?"

Looking at the suddenly appearing mountain path, the child suddenly felt a little afraid.

And the middle-aged man was braver, immediately kneeling on the ground and saying: "Thank you, Immortal Grandfather, for your grace; thank you, Immortal Grandfather, for your grace!"

Saying this, the middle-aged man pulled the little boy, and together they knelt in worship towards the sky.

It was quite obvious that the only thing they could think of was that an immortal secretly felt compassion for their father and son's spirit and reached out to help.

After all, with this mountain path leading to the outside world, there was naturally no need to continue foolishly chiseling the mountain.

Without giving this father and son another glance, Ao Yifan waved his right hand and instantly vanished from the spot.

……

"This, arriving now is somewhat untimely!"

Ao Yifan felt a little embarrassed, exchanged a glance with Fairy Yun Ying, and instantly saw a hint of annoyance in her eyes.

And on the other side, Fairy Yun Ying also wore a look of shock and annoyance.

After all, Chan'er in his arms was eating when a man suddenly barged in—how could he not be annoyed?

"Well, don't misunderstand, I am Yun Hua's husband; she sent me to save you."

Ao Yifan explained.

"What? Yun Hua's husband—could it be that she too has fallen for the mortal world?"

Fairy Yun Ying looked shocked, even forgetting that Yang Chan in her arms was still eating.

"Indeed, she's very pretty, resembling the woman from Stick Country who played the Three Holy Mother in a past life—so, no wonder they're mother and daughter."

Ao Yifan secretly thought to himself.

Noticing Ao Yifan's gaze, Fairy Yun Ying immediately reacted, putting away the granary, and then glared at Ao Yifan again.

"Are you really Yun Hua's husband?"

Fairy Yun Ying asked again.

"Genuine, if not for Yun Hua's Heaven-Man response informing me of your affairs, how could I possibly know you are here?"

Ao Yifan said.

"Indeed, Yun Hua's Heaven-Man response is far stronger than mine."

Fairy Yun Ying nodded.

However, she immediately shook her head and said: "This Peach Mountain was personally cast down by Vast Heaven; you cannot split it!"

"Indeed, somewhat troublesome!"

Ao Yifan sensed the restriction on Peach Mountain and made a preliminary judgment about the strength of his yet-unmet elder uncle.

However, the fact that he could turn peaches into Peach Mountain with the "Words Become Law" method shows that his strength surpasses even the Beheader of Three Corpses Cihang Daoist.

Moreover, as the lord of the Heavenly Court, he possesses numerous powerful magical treasures, indicating that his strength is among the very top of the Quasi-Sage realm.

"If my elder uncle were to forcibly descend to the lower realm, I would really have no choice but to flee."

Ao Yifan thought: "However, I don't know whether my elder uncle or the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool is stronger; if I could get the Golden Mother to stand on my side, then I wouldn't fear my elder uncle causing trouble."
