Chapter 389: On Longji's Thoughts: Yang Chan Wants a Child

"Princess, please take care!"

"Sister Longji, see you next time~"

On the banks of the Longyuan River, Fang Longye and Yang Chan, accompanied by three or five attendants, were seeing off Longji Princess.

Seeing that Fang Longye had agreed to her request,

Longji Princess chatted with Fang Longye and Yang Chan for a good while, brewing tea to discuss the Dao, laughing and talking, before finally bidding the two farewell.

After some polite insistence on staying, they were accompanied by Fang Longye and Yang Chan all the way out of Cangmang Mountain.

"That is enough, you two should stop here!"

Longji Princess flicked her auspicious clouds and propitious vapors, and a strand of unrestrained azure energy unfurled behind her, sparkling like stars.

It was as if a drizzling autumn rain were falling, the raindrops delicate and fine, blooming silently and spreading ripples. She trailed her skirt and turned, smiling faintly at the two: "In the future, when you have time, come to Yaochi more often to reminisce. Especially you, brother-in-law; come to think of it, you and our Yaochi Precious Realm are quite fated~"

She arched her dark brows and looked at one of the attendants behind Fang Longye and Yang Chan; her jade face was clear and beautiful, and it was none other than Yun Ting, whom the Queen Mother of the West had gifted to Yang Chan.

Seeing Longji Princess speak thus, Fang Longye nodded and said, "I will certainly visit more often in the future~"

Regarding her sudden mention of Yun Ting,

he understood in his heart that this convenient cousin-in-law must have sensed his amorous intentions and was pointing out that he was not a suitable match, rejecting him in a roundabout way! This was already not bad; if one were to go by her past experiences and current temperament, it would not have been excessive for her to turn hostile immediately upon sensing his advances.

Who let his reputation outside be so poor that he was regarded as a heartless and ungrateful scumbag! "Then, let us talk again next time!"

Longji Princess nodded to her cousin Yang Chan, took one last deep look at Fang Longye, then turned her head, trailed her skirt, and rose into the air.

Then, a cry that shook the four directions rang out.

A very spirited and beautiful Qingluan appeared, arriving beneath her to support her body, and immediately spread its wings, heading toward the highest heavens.

Boom— The tail feathers of the Qingluan trailed brilliant colors for no less than ten thousand feet, like paulownia leaves fluttering, light floating and shadows leaping, extremely agile.

As it swayed, the sky was filled with wonderful sounds and fragrance, rich and lingering, leaving traces in the void that did not dissipate for a long time~...

After watching Longji Princess leave, Fang Longye and Yang Chan turned around, signaled for the attendants to follow, and returned to Cangmang Mountain hand in hand.

The Divine Light shimmered, its cold radiance like a wash, intermingling with the dark green of the mountain's vegetation to form a circle of misty halos, up and down, left and right, back and forth.

The wind blew, and their sleeves fluttered.

The autumn colors spread, and a chill rose straight to their brows.

Wisteria flowers fell to the ground, accumulating in a layer; stepping on them sounded like crunching snow, *sha sha sha*.

After returning to Cangmang Mountain, Fang Longye and Yang Chan signaled for the attendants to withdraw, and the two walked slowly along the mountain path, admiring the scenery.

"It seems, husband, you still do not intend to give up on Sister Longji?" After walking for a distance, Yang Chan spoke abruptly, causing Fang Longye's expression to freeze.

"What? Could it be that you think I cannot even perceive what is on the mind of the person sleeping beside me?"

Yang Chan turned to look at Fang Longye, her eyes shifting, her voice faint, chuckling coldly.

"Chan'er—"

"Enough~" Yang Chan interrupted Fang Longye, waving her hand: "I am tired of hearing sweet talk. Who told me to end up with a lecherous scoundrel like you."

"'Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog.' I cannot control you, but I must remind you—"

She lifted her small face, looked at Fang Longye, and said with a serious expression:

"You know clearly of Sister Longji's past experiences; she is not so easily going to open her heart again to let you succeed, nor is she so easy to provoke~"

"I even suspect that she seems to be preparing to walk the path of 'Supreme Forgetting of Emotions'~"

No need to suspect, and it was not just 'seeming'; Fang Longye was certain that Longji Princess was indeed planning to walk the path of Supreme Forgetting of Emotions.

He had a similar entanglement with Yun Ting and had a deep understanding of the path of Supreme Forgetting of Emotions, so he could naturally tell.

Although it was different from the 'Sentimental Severing' of the Su Nu Jing, all things lead to the same destination.

Given the grievances and entanglements between her and Hong Jin, as long as she killed Hong Jin, she could, like the completion of the Su Nu Jing, step directly into the realm of Supreme Forgetting of Emotions.

From then on, nothing would weigh on her heart; she would not be happy for things, nor sad for herself. Her entire realm would skyrocket, and by then, she might even directly attain the Dao of Daluo.

Hmm, actually, even without walking the path of Supreme Forgetting of Emotions, as long as she killed Hong Jin, Longji Princess would also have all her flaws filled because her Heart Obstacle would be completely removed.

As long as she followed the steps, she could attain the Dao of Daluo.

After all, is 'killing one's husband to attain the Dao' a joke?

Although Hong Jin had long since divorced Longji Princess and could only be considered her ex-husband~ but an ex-husband is still a "husband"!

"Set your heart at ease; with me here, your convenient cousin-in-law will not walk the path of Supreme Forgetting of Emotions."

Fang Longye appeared very earnest.

Upon hearing this, Yang Chan felt stifled and speechless; she did not believe this lecherous dragon could not hear the subtext of her words, and he was just playing dumb with her~

Seeing Yang Chan's speechless expression, Fang Longye smiled slightly. Of course, he knew what his wife meant by saying Longji Princess would walk the path of Supreme Forgetting of Emotions.

Wasn't it just to dispel his thoughts of coveting Longji Princess! Otherwise, whether Longji Princess walked the path of Supreme Forgetting of Emotions or not, what did it have to do with him? Did it need her special reminder?

Actually, it would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it; once she did, he became even more interested! What a sense of achievement it would be to make a woman who killed her husband to attain the Dao bow down to him! Especially since this woman was an ice-cold goddess who viewed all men in the world as filth and was preparing to walk the path of Supreme Forgetting of Emotions—the pleasure brought by that desire to conquer made him shudder just thinking about it~

"You wouldn't be harboring any wicked thoughts in your heart, would you?" Seeing the evil smile gradually appear on Fang Longye's face, Yang Chan looked at him suspiciously.

"No, how could I~"

Fang Longye restrained the evil smile on his face, took Yang Chan's hand, and shook his head with a smile: "You are overthinking it, absolutely not!"

"Better not!" Yang Chan rolled her eyes, took the initiative to pull him, and walked quickly toward Longying Cave.

"What are you doing?"

"Having a baby, what else?" Yang Chan did not look back, just pulled him forward and said:

"We have been married for many years, and I haven't seen any movement in my belly. Aren't you anxious?"

"Uh, our realms are where they are; it is not easy to conceive offspring in the first place, so why be anxious?"

Fang Longye was speechless. He liked doing the deed, but that didn't mean he liked having children; he just purely liked doing it~

"When we were married, the Queen Mother of the West blessed us; conceiving offspring is not that difficult."

Yang Chan was single-mindedly wanting to give birth to children early to solidify the position of Heavenly Grandson promised by the Jade Emperor.

"Don't look so unwilling," Yang Chan turned her head, looked at Fang Longye, and complained: "It's all your fault for marrying so many beauties~"

"If it weren't for those vixens in your backyard, all of them hoping to bear your offspring early so their own children could seize the position of your eldest son, do you think I would be in such a rush?"

She did not want her own child to end up as a second son, or even lower in the order, losing at the starting line.

"Being born early is not as good as being born late. I am currently only a Xiantian Shengsheng; it won't be too late to have children once I reach Xiantian Shengsheng, as the child's foundation will be better then."

Fang Longye frowned upon hearing this; he was truly unwilling to have offspring so early.

Not to mention that he actually did not like children at all, nor did he want to become a father so soon.

Just the fact that he was currently only at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, not yet a Great Luo, made it unsuitable to have offspring; it was too easy for others to scheme against them.

Children were all debt collectors; if they were truly schemed against and caused trouble outside, wouldn't he be the one cleaning up their mess in the end?

The key was that he was only a Taiyi Golden Immortal, not even a Great Luo, so he really couldn't handle the burden~ There were so many cautionary tales; even someone as powerful as Di Jun was forced into a premature decisive battle with the Witch Clan and suffered the destruction of his clan because of his ten wicked sons. He did not want to repeat the mistakes of his predecessors~

……

Unfortunately, no matter how he tried to talk her out of it, Yang Chan was determined to have a child early, dragging him all the way back to Longying Cave and arriving at the door of the sleeping quarters.

"It seems I have to find someone to come up with a solution. Should I ask Taishang Laojun to see if there is any contraceptive medicine specially provided for immortals and gods?" Fang Longye thought to himself.

In fact, with his current realm, he could already control his essence and Qi; as long as he did not want to conceive offspring, no matter how Yang Chan and the others tried, it would be a waste of effort.

The key was that this method of his was merely a result of his realm, something everyone knew, so naturally, he could not hide it from Yang Chan and the others. As for secret techniques, it went without saying; they were the same.

Since he could not persuade the women in his harem and did not want to cause domestic unrest over this matter, he naturally had to find a way to deceive them.

It wouldn't take too long; once he accumulated enough foundation to attain the Great Luo Dao, it would be fine~

If it weren't for the fact that Yang Chan clearly looked like she was in a hurry, he might not have needed to think of another way.

While he was pondering, Yang Chan pushed him into the sleeping quarters and closed the door; clearly, a fierce battle was unavoidable.

"Sigh~"

Fang Longye had no choice but to passively accept the battle.

Meanwhile, his incarnation far away in the Heavenly Court withdrew from the busy chores, preparing to run about and toil for some of the plans in his heart.

……

In the Heavenly Court, within the mansion.

A Treasure Pavilion, backed by mountains and facing water, suspended and overlooking the view, with bright windows and delicate features; the moonlight shone on the pine colors, slowly entering the interior, casting a deep, cold green that blended with the smoke rising from the incense burner on the desk.

There was an indescribable tranquility in the entire space, without a single sound.

Only three or five birds perched in front of the window, preening their feathers, looking very leisurely and carefree.

The Godly Incarnation sat upright in the pavilion, casually setting aside the various reports of chores submitted by the servants in the mansion, and could not help but shake his head: "The original body is so carefree, throwing everything to me. Sigh, an incarnation really has no human rights!"

At Fang Longye's current realm, while his other casually separated incarnations were fine, this initial Godly Incarnation was becoming more and more like an independent individual.

Of course,

No matter how the Godly Incarnation developed and even if he had independent thoughts and consciousness, the bond between the two could not be erased; ultimately, the original body remained the master, and there would be no scenario of an incarnation rebelling against the true body.

Therefore, complaining was just complaining; when faced with some of the original body's thoughts, the Godly Incarnation still intended to carry them out to the letter~

Just as he was preparing to summon his subordinates in the mansion to have them inquire about the recent situation of that fellow Hong Jin, he suddenly sensed something and smiled, saying:

"You two have arrived just in time!"

Immediately, with a shift of his thoughts, he summoned Jing Lixia, the manager of the mansion.

"Mansion Master~"

Jing Lixia moved extremely quickly, and in a moment, she arrived before him.

"Mm."

Fang Longye nodded and directly ordered:

"My subordinates from the Earth Immortal Realm are coming to the South Tianmen; go out and meet them, and bring them here to see me~"

"Yes."

……

To speak of Luming and Yuan Hong, after receiving Fang Longye's orders, the two did not rush to ascend to heaven to become officials.

Instead, after handling the matters at hand, they gathered together, and Luming took out the Reception Talisman given by Fang Longye.

Seeing him guide his thoughts into the talisman, thousands of rays of light shot out from it, transforming into hexagrams that enveloped the bodies of Luming and Yuan Hong.

They then vanished from the spot, leaving no trace.

The two felt a wave of dizziness, and when they opened their eyes again, they had already arrived in the Heavenly Realm.

"What a Heavenly Realm!"

Luming and Yuan Hong stood in place, straightening their bodies, and sensing the spiritual energy filling the space above, below, and all around, they sighed in unison~

Looking around,

Bright light shone, and the surroundings were clear.

As soon as they entered, a fragrant scent assailed their brows, making one feel refreshed and happy~ Even though it was just a glimpse of the scenery, one could vaguely perceive the splendor of the Heavenly Realm; it was indeed incomparable to the world below~

If the Heavenly Realm was like this, how much more so the Heavenly Court.

No wonder everyone wanted to be a Heavenly Official! Just the cultivation environment alone was not something the Earth Immortal Realm could compare to for ordinary cultivators.

For ordinary cultivators, one year of cultivation in the Earth Immortal Realm was probably not even equal to one day in the Heavenly Realm.

Of course, this was not to say that the Earth Immortal Realm did not have similar cultivation environments, or that the Heavenly Realm was inherently superior to the Earth Immortal Realm.

In fact, there was no essential difference between the two; the Earth Immortal Realm was even slightly higher than the Heavenly Realm, and there was no lack of places with better environments than the Heavenly Realm.

But these good places, or Cave Heaven Blessed Lands, were all held by people, who even continuously occupied the famous mountains and great rivers of the Earth Immortal Realm.

Ordinary cultivators had no chance to cultivate in these good places in the Earth Immortal Realm at all.

As a result, the environment of the Heavenly Realm and even the Heavenly Court naturally had an unimaginable attraction for ordinary cultivators.

Luming and Yuan Hong came from Fang Longye's dojo and had seen the big picture, but they had only followed Fang Longye for a few years and had always been at the bottom before.

Especially their great king, Fang Longye, who had only recently truly become wealthy, so the two of them were momentarily dazed upon seeing the atmosphere of the Heavenly Realm.

However, it was only for a moment; the two soon regained their senses, for after all, if one were to truly compare it to Cangmang Mountain, a mere corner of the Heavenly Realm still could not compare to Cangmang Mountain.

Whoosh—the two let out a sigh of relief and could not help but exchange a glance, both faintly revealing the excitement and anticipation in each other's eyes.

To speak plainly,

coming to this Heavenly Court was truly the right choice! "Let's go!"

The two steadied their minds, and Luming was the first to calm down, pointing toward the South Tianmen that was already clearly visible in the distance, then leaping into the air to signal Yuan Hong to follow.

Yuan Hong did not act out his monkey nature either; he immediately stopped looking around and hurriedly followed.

In the Heavenly Realm, the status of demons is not high.

If they happened to run into some True Monarch or Bodhisattva who was bored and insisted on using the two of them for practice, they would have nowhere to cry.

Even with the Talisman Order given by their own great king as proof of identity, they would not be in danger of losing their lives, but it would still be bad to invite trouble for no reason.

After all, the two of them were ordered to ascend to heaven to serve as officials, representing the face of their own great king.

If they were to cause their great king to lose face because of this, it would be a major failure; they could forget about any future advancement and might as well go straight back to guarding the gate.
