ether with it… Will this increase his karmic burden" I asked worriedly.My brother comforted me, saying: "The Great Gods and the most high, all-knowing, all-powerful deities, they have everything unde...We stood in the corridor outside the room, with fine snowflakes falling from the sky. It rarely snows heavily here; after entering the winter months, there might be occasional flurries of snow.

The dilapidated courtyard, aged wood and tiles, ornate carvings on the fence.

Here, it's easy to feel a pang of wistfulness.

Heaven and Earth are unfeeling, treating all things as mere straw dogs.

From "Heaven's" perspective, all things in the world are born and destroyed by themselves, each with its own destiny and actions, ultimately leading to their own cause and effect.

This large mansion, perhaps bustling with people decades ago, has since become a gloomy and eerie residence following the passing of its mistress.

During the day, people come and go, but at night, only a paper man guards.

Jiang Qiyun's aura was too strong, the great-grandmother was scared. Even across a wall, she couldn't gather ghost energy to maintain her form. I had no choice but to lead Jiang Qiyun out, all the way to the edge of the small courtyard's wall.

He was somewhat displeased that he, as an emperor, had to avoid the scene, especially with snowflakes falling outside.

Jiang Qiyun pulled me closer and covered my head with his outer robe.

"Come here, don't get your hair and clothes wet." He said lightly.

I let out a soft breath, the white mist swirling around my cheeks: "Q Yun, I feel... like you're plotting something"

He arched an eyebrow, a half-smile playing on his lips as he looked down at me.

“Conspiracy” he denied. “What conspiracy could I possibly have”

“I always feel something is off. You wouldn’t have been this concerned about childcare before… Now that you’re taking care of the child, you seem very patient and even have the maids practice how to take care of them…” I frowned slightly.

Immortals come and go like the wind, free and unrestrained. They see through many things and dislike dragging things out. Even those two rebellious Star Lords are decisive, acting swiftly – they fight if they want to, and walk away if they don't.

Even when Jiang Qiyun indulged in the "gentle embrace" before, he would not neglect his duties. After all, as a deity with divine responsibilities, he needed to return to his position.

But recently, because he was comforting his crying child, he went a few times but didn't leave. I originally thought he would frown, but he just smiled and softly scolded "Little thing," then stayed to comfort the child. This surprised me very much.

Father's love

No, no. What the divine one calls love is unlike that of mortals.

After thinking about it, I feel like he must be planning something.

"... In order to let you have a peace of mind during your pregnancy, of course, I should share the burden with you. Otherwise, with all the hard work and effort you put in, how could you possibly focus on nurturing the fetus" He whispered, "Is this considered scheming"

I knew it!

"I guess my facial expression was too complicated, he couldn't help but chuckle softly: 'Mu Xiaoqiao, don't put on that shy and reserved look, it's not the first time, is it'"

He pinched my face, and I didn't know what to say!

In his view, yin and yang flowing in opposition, generating each other is the way of nature. He doesn't have the worries that ordinary people experience, like household registration, finances, housing, work, or whether anyone can help with childcare. These issues simply don't exist for him.

He believed that conjugal love and procreation were the right path. Although Taoism advocated for tranquility, it also advocated for numerous offspring. He perfectly inherited these ideas.

"This isn't a small matter, I... I need to prepare myself mentally." I timidly looked up at him.

Jiang Qiyun raised an eyebrow and said, "Alright, as you wish."

He reached out and caressed the blood jade ring on my hand, his voice low. "Next time if the dragon appears again... I'll accompany you for a walk."

Ah... walk Walk to where

"You can go anywhere you want, even if it's just walking down the street with me. Leaving you alone inevitably leads to gossip and rumors from ordinary people...Humph...it's really a pity for you...A good girl like you has become someone who is seen as unprincipled and lovesick by others. I wouldn't want those commoners to look at you that way."

I smiled at that, my nose feeling a little sour.

"Actually, I don't really care about those things, but it's commendable that you're aware of them!" I smiled and patted his chin.

The grandmother cried and laughed at the same time. I leaned on the window and watched her. She touched the cheeks of the two little babies, saying they were so endearing. The grandfather smiled faintly without speaking.

"When will Yunfan bring a child back too" Grandma suddenly asked.

"I have no idea," Grandpa replied. "That boy only recently started studying Taoism. Little Qiao said he has someone he likes, perhaps they'll get married soon."

Marriage... well, I imagined my brother and Lin Yanqin's wedding. It must be grand. My marriage with Jiang Qiyun in the underworld was just a simple ceremony of formality, but my brother's would be different.

His wedding is the most important event for the Mu family at present, and Lin Yanqin is no exception. Although the Lin family is low-key, Lin Yanqin's marriage as a prominent young lady from a wealthy family is certainly a major event that cannot be taken lightly.

I'm a bit excited, I have to launder my assets quickly.

"To cleanse That's not so easy. Some things are better left in the underworld. They only cause trouble in the mortal realm." Jiang Qiyun frowned slightly.

"I just put some things in the box. Could you take a look when you have a moment" I pleaded.

"What are you looking at" he asked, puzzled.

"See if it's real or fake, or the era, the source... you are more authoritative than any expert professor."

"Alright," Jiang Qiyund nodded. "I'm free to help you look at it. I'll leave once things are done."

We took the children back to the small courtyard through the Dharma Gate. As soon as I entered the house, I heard a crunching sound coming from the outer hall. I opened the door and saw the little boy sitting cross-legged on a rocking chair eating snacks!

It must be given to him by the glutton!

"You came to get snacks in the middle of the night! Are you a rat" I frowned and said, "Eat too much and be careful of cavities!"

The little boy said with a grin, “I’m here to deliver a message, hehe. Seeing that there’s food, of course I won’t be polite!”

"What are you saying" I asked, frowning.

The little boy puckered his lips and said nothing. He only ran up to Jiang Qiyun when he saw him and whispered a few words in his ear.

Jiang Qiyun frowned and asked, "Really"

"Really, really true! Absolutely no exaggeration! A few great deities were drinking together, and the Purple Micro Emperor, after a bit of wine, let slip a few heartfelt truths. I overheard it by chance! So I secretly came to tell you!"

Jiang Qiyun said unhappily, “Ignore him, let’s talk about it later.”

After the little boy left, I whispered, "What happened"

"Ziwu Laotou wants to meet with Gui He and You Nan... Don't mind him, we can talk later." Jiang Qiyun said calmly with his eyes closed.

It seems that both my brother and I are facing similar pressures.

Jiang Qiyun taught me the incantation to summon maidservants and told me that Quan Heng would be guarding here during the day. The next day, I called a maidservant to take care of the child and went to Lin Yanhuan's office myself.

Lin Yanhuan saw the thing buried in the Mu family's basement for over sixty years, and frowned: "…This thing, hidden in your house"ped in as a peacemaker, standing in front of me, slightly raising his hands as if surrendering: "Miss Yin Er, Miss Yin Er, I am truly sincere in my apology. You see, my sister is speechless now, so le...
