Chapter 528

Tang An looked at that cup of tea and knew that Yang Jian had sensed her arrival.

However, her Primordial Spirit was now detached from the Heavenly Dao and was so weak that she could not drink any tea.

"Judicial God, you are not as scary as they say."

From her perspective, Yang Jian had always been gentle and steady, an existence like a family head and a big brother. He took care of her everywhere and understood what was in her heart.

"Just when you educate Chenxiang in the future, don't just focus on being lenient; when you need to pull his little ears, you should still pull them."

Speaking of Chenxiang, Tang An looked toward the room where he was in seclusion.

All the restrictions and barriers here were useless to her.

However, Chenxiang had truly graduated; he had even set up warning mechanisms in the room. When in seclusion, his defenses were layered three times inside and three times outside.

"Samadhi True Fire."

When Tang An came to Chenxiang's side, she discovered traces of him having been forged by Samadhi True Fire.

"It's the Master Uncle's Alchemy Furnace."

When did he run over there? And even refined himself?

"He is becoming more and more self-disciplined, it's just that he is too harsh on himself."

Tang An reached out to touch Chenxiang's cheek with reluctance; after all, she had witnessed him since he was born.

He was the child she had cultivated with all her heart, who loved following behind her, calling her "Godmother" with every breath.

No matter how much she tricked him, his emotions were always stable; he never got angry and was very sensible.

"In the future, Godmother won't care whether you are a salted fish or a hero. The Three Realms are safe and sound, and you can do whatever you want to do."

"As long as you don't poke a hole in the sky, no matter how much trouble you cause, those old immortals in the Three Realms will, for the sake of Godmother's connections, not make things too difficult for you."

She pinched Chenxiang's cheek, just like when she used to pinch his chubby little face when he was young.

"Godmother's things have all been given to your three uncles; I forgot to leave anything for you."

"Thinking it over, only that bamboo house was what Godmother intended to use for retirement. Now that it's no longer needed, I'll leave it to you."

"I hope you can grow up happily and live a stable and free life."

Tang An leaned over to hug Chenxiang, filled with reluctance.

But no matter how reluctant, she had to continue moving forward. There were still people she hadn't seen and things she hadn't done, and her time was running out.

When Tang An left, Chenxiang opened his eyes, and tears instantly burst forth.

"Godmother, don't worry, Chenxiang will definitely be able to save you, definitely."

He had no time to be sad; instead, he unleashed the Lotus Lantern and began to absorb the power of the wick, practicing the realm of Human-Lamp Unity.

Huaguo Mountain, Water Curtain Cave.

The mountains and plains were filled with monkeys, and the mountains were full of laughter.

When Tang An arrived, Sun Wukong was drinking with Niu Mowang, Jinjiao, and Yinjiao.

As they toasted and chatted, they were all talking about the past.

"Seventh Brother, regarding the events of that year, I, Old Niu, still have to thank you all."

"If it weren't for you and your disciples traveling west and resolving the predicament of our family, I'm afraid we would have long since..."

Jinjiao and Yinjiao also said: "If it weren't for Princess Chang'an's kindness back then, we would also..."

Speaking of Tang An, Sun Wukong inadvertently wiped the corner of his eye. "Sigh, my Master, naturally there is nothing in these Three Realms that she cannot handle."

"Now..."

"Now everything is fine, let's not mention the past. Come, drink."

"Drink."

The group toasted again, and Tang An watched from the side, feeling very gratified.

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven was no longer alone; he also had brothers, friends, and monkeys all over the mountains and plains.

His future life, at the very least, would not be lonely.

After three rounds of drinks, when they were all drunk, Tang An walked over.

On the journey to the west in the past, it was Sun Wukong who draped clothes and blankets over her. Now, it was her turn to cover Sun Wukong with a tiger-skin blanket.

"Wukong, you are the Senior Disciple."

"In the future, you must take good care of each other with Yang Jian and Nezha."

"Although I am leaving, I don't want your friendship to drift apart from now on."

She still wanted to give many instructions, but when the words reached her lips, only a bitter smile remained.

Since when did she, Tang An, become such a nagging person?

"I'm leaving, I'm going to see Jiuyue."

After seeing Jiuyue, she planned to go to Chang'an herself to see the place where she had first transmigrated.

After Tang An left, Sun Wukong opened his eyes, buried his head in his arms, and his shoulders trembled as he shed tears.

How could he be willing to let Tang An go? She was the first person to buy him a hat. She was also the first person to make him no longer lonely and to make him stand with people behind him.

But just like Yang Jian and Nezha, they did this merely to let Tang An leave with peace of mind.

Qingqiu.

When Tang An arrived, a grand ceremony was being held here.

Jiuyue was wearing magnificent robes, stepping up the stairs step by step from that timid little fox she once was, to ascend to the position of Qingqiu Empress.

"The rules of the world should only be divided by strength and ability, not by so-called gender."

"The so-called capable get the world."

"Our Jiuyue has also lived to become a great heroine; she is worthy of being the auspicious omen brought up by her sister."

Tang An looked at Jiuyue's current status and was truly, truly gratified and happy for her.

At the very least, in the future, she would not have to worry about Jiuyue being ostracized or bullied by others.

Jiuyue stood at the highest position; she never turned around, standing with her back to Tang An.

"Sister, do you see?"

"Jiuyue did not let down your expectations, and it was you who changed Jiuyue's life."

"I am not a princess anymore; I am the Qingqiu Empress."

"Sister, do you see?"

She sobbed softly, her shoulders trembling, and tears fell like broken beads.

Tang An came before her and nodded. "I see, Sister sees."

She gave Jiuyue a big hug, although... although she couldn't hug her at all.

"You're already an Empress, yet you're still a little crybaby."

She straightened Jiuyue's crown and used a portion of her Primordial Spirit power to transform it into a protective golden hairpin, which she placed on Jiuyue's crown.

"Consider it a congratulatory gift from Sister."

Tang An's Primordial Spirit was becoming increasingly weak and was on the verge of dissipating.

"It's a pity there's no time left; Sister has to go."

If she left any later, she wouldn't make it back to Chang'an.

Jiuyue could no longer pretend; she reached out and grabbed wildly in front of her.

"Sister, you are here, right?"

"Don't go... please don't go..."

She cried and begged Tang An, wanting her to stay.

During those days when she was left alone at Zhenmo Pass, she waited from day to night, and from night to day; she didn't know how many days had passed.

She only knew that when she finally waited for Sun Wukong and the others to return, they told her...

They told her that Sister was gone...

She couldn't accept it; no matter what, she couldn't accept this.

But she didn't dare to give up on herself, fearing that Tang An would come to see her and be disappointed or worried.

That was why she came back, used thunderous means to govern Qingqiu, and ascended to the throne.

At this moment, she knew there was an extra hairpin in her hair, and she knew Tang An had come.

But she couldn't see; she couldn't see Tang An...
