Chapter 252: Chang'e's Mirror

Both ladies, you……

Looking at his own trussed-up appearance, Ao Yifan gazed at Yunhua Immortal Maiden and Princess Longji with a look of 'terror'.

Hmph!

Yunhua Immortal Maiden gave a soft hum and lifted Ao Yifan's chin.

"Husband, be honest—how many things are you hiding from us outside?"

Yunhua Immortal Maiden said.

"Not bad!"

Princess Longji also nodded, saying: "Today, if it weren't for all these female immortals coming to us in person, we'd probably still be kept in the dark. Hehe, Daoist Cihang, the Three Purities Sisters—these all have something to do with you, right?"

"Well…"

Ao Yifan's eyes rolled as he prepared to explain.

"Husband, don't even think about fooling us!"

At that moment, Princess Longji cupped Ao Yifan's face and said: "Our eyes are like a ruler—we definitely didn't missee. Besides, there's Hou Tu Niangniang; I was wondering how she could owe you a favor—it turns out you……"

"Go on, ladies—how are you planning to deal with your husband?"

Ao Yifan interrupted, then flopped onto the bed, adopting an attitude of letting you handle him.

"Hmph, Longji, I see my husband is still unwilling to submit—how much of the Heavenly Realm Secret Canon I taught you have you learned?"

Yunhua Immortal Maiden said.

Upon hearing this, Princess Longji puffed up with confidence: "Young aunt, rest assured—I've mastered that secret canon completely. Today we'll make your husband wish he could neither live nor die!"

"Kekeke……"

……

"Taiqing Sage's Command: a nameless demon god has appeared in the Chaos Sea, Grand Master Xuan Du is trapped there—disciples of the Three Teachings, please go rescue!"

A holy voice echoed through the Three Realms.

Those immortals who heard the voice all wore looks of uncertain surprise.

Those who attended the heavenly court wedding naturally know that Grand Master Xuan Du seems to have gone to the Chaos Sea to investigate something under the Taiqing Sage's order.

Many immortals pay it no heed, after all, Grand Master Xuan Du is the senior brother of the Three Teachings, and his strength is overwhelmingly formidable.

For ordinary immortals the Chaos Sea is extremely dangerous, but for this personal disciple of the Taiqing Sage, one would think nothing would happen.

Yet no one expected that the Chaos Sea would encounter an accident—the appearance of a nameless demon god even ensnared Grand Master Xuan Du.

Of course, the most crucial factor is the sudden appearance of the Sage's Command!

The Taiqing Sage seemingly cannot personally rescue his own disciple for some reason, so he orders the disciples of the Three Teachings to go save him.

This looks like a thankless, labor-intensive task.

Yet all immortals of the Three Realms clearly understand this is absolutely a great opportunity!

You should know that, aside from the Heavenly Dao Sage, the Three Realms now have only six sages.

Yuanshi Tianzun is arrogant; aside from the disciples he favors, others find it hard to gain his notice.

The Tongtian Sect Leader's Golden Ao Island is famed for welcoming all immortals, teaching without discrimination, yet because of this the Jie Sect's disciples are a mixed bag, and many immortals are reluctant to deal with them.

As for the Nüwa Sage, she truly never steps out her gate; even those with great karmic ties to her, be they human or demon, find it hard to involve themselves with her.

As for the Two Sages of the West, those who understand know that a single phrase about having affinity with the Western Teaching makes many immortals fear them like tigers.

And the only one left is the Taiqing Sage.

Although the Taiqing Sage usually hangs high above the thirty-three heavens and rarely appears.

However, one thing people like about the Human Sect is that it dislikes owing karmic debts.

This means that if you can help the Human Sect this time, you will certainly earn a favor from them, and even from the Taiqing Sage himself.

Who knows how many immortals crave a sage's favor?

Now is truly a tremendous opportunity!

In an instant, all immortals of the Three Realms were restless, their eyes turning toward the Chaos Sea.

……

"Damn, what a coincidence!"

Upon hearing the Sage's Command, Daoist Cihang couldn't help but frown.

She never imagined the Sage's Command would appear so coincidentally.

She had just conceived a child and could not possibly engage in combat; she would surely miss this great opportunity.

"Alright, just give birth to the baby—isn't that also an opportunity? Why bother wading into this muddy water?"

Ao Yifan gently embraced Daoist Cihang from behind and said: "Besides, do you really think a sage's favor is so easy to obtain?"

"What do you mean?"

Having grown accustomed to Ao Yifan's embrace, Daoist Cihang did not struggle but instead leaned quietly against him, enjoying the warmth of his chest.

"Hehe, I don't believe you're so smart that you wouldn't notice!"

Ao Yifan laughed as he lifted Daoist Cihang's chin, saying: "The Chaos Sea was where the three thousand demon gods were born; what lies inside, no one knows—not even Grand Master Xuan Du, who fell there. An ordinary immortal entering would likely never return."

"Indeed, that's true!"

Daoist Cihang nodded and said: "It's just a shame—we'll miss the favor of the Taiqing Sage's uncle."

"Alright, favors are nice, but you need the life to claim them—let the cannon fodder go scout first; come on, let's continue!"

……

"Chang'e elder sister, that prince consort has been in there so long—what do you think he and Daoist Cihang are doing in there?"

A Chang'e whispered to the Chang'e who was directing the others' dance:

Upon hearing this, Chang'e glanced at that Chang'e and said: "Can a little immortal maiden like you really gossip about the affairs of those great powers? It seems your practice lately hasn't been enough—go, teach the prince consort's dance to you all, and practice it a hundred times."

In an instant, the entire Guanghan Palace was filled with wailing cries everywhere.

However, not a single Chang'e maiden noticed; Chang'e took advantage of nobody paying attention and pulled out a mirror from her sleeve.

After glancing at the image on the mirror, Chang'e's fair cheeks flushed slightly.

To be honest, this incident was also an accident.

After the Taiyin Star King descended to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation, Chang'e became the actual ruler of the entire Guanghan Palace.

In order to better manage her subordinates, the Chang'e maidens, Chang'e took advantage of everyone's inattention and placed Moonlight Mirrors in many spots, monitoring every corner of the Guanghan Palace.

And the room where the Cihang Daoist stayed just happened to have one installed as well.

Originally, Chang'e had intended to remove it.

After all, surveilling someone like the Cihang Daoist, a person of great divine abilities, would be a highly irrational act.

But before Chang'e could act, the Prince Consort who suddenly showed up at her door gave her a big surprise.

Through the Moonlight Mirror, Chang'e saw a scene that would be unforgettable for the rest of her life.

And at this point, bringing up the matter of the Moonlight Mirror would surely invite trouble, so Chang'e simply pretended it didn't exist.

However, Chang'e found it strange: why would someone as powerful as the Cihang Daoist, a person of great divine abilities, fail to notice the mirror's surveillance? It made no sense.

But after realizing she hadn't been discovered, Chang'e would occasionally sneak a peek at the mirror's contents.

There was nothing she could do; although she nominally had a husband, that was merely a task assigned to her when the Yao Court divided the Wu Tribe, and they never actually became husband and wife.

Therefore, Chang'e remains curious about certain matters.
