Chapter 729 The Immortal Lord's Demand
Zuo Yuan chuckled and said, "It is my duty to relieve Your Majesty's worries and troubles. However, now that the crisis in the Three Emperors' Plane has been resolved, what are Your Majesty's next steps?"

Lin Zhao said, "Once I feel better, I'll go find Su Bai and go to the Ancestral Spirit Plane with him."

Upon hearing Lin Zhao's plans, Zuo Yuan frowned and asked, "Didn't His Majesty tell the Demon Emperor about your injury?"

Lin Zhao scratched his head awkwardly: "Knowing about this won't solve anything. I might as well get myself well and go see him directly."

Zuo Yuan frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Although I have no experience of His Majesty the Ancestral Dragon interacting with the beauties in His Majesty's harem, I have witnessed the interactions between His Majesty the Ancestral Phoenix and His Majesty the Ancestral Phoenix. The two of them are inseparable and have never hidden their affairs from their Daoist partners like His Majesty has. In addition, there is no need to mention Empress Nuwa and Empress Xi. Daoist partners should be completely honest with each other."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao sighed: "But telling him this will only increase his worries."

Zuo Yuan shook his head: "Your Majesty, try to put yourself in his shoes. If the Demon Emperor was seriously injured and didn't tell you, what would you do?"

Lin Zhao fell silent.

"I understand, but it must be painful. I get it. Once I can contact him, I'll tell him about my situation."

Zuo Yuan added, "You'd better apologize to His Majesty the Demon Emperor as well, because this old minister thinks that His Majesty the Demon Emperor may already know about your situation."

Lin Zhao: "..." For the first time ever, Lin Zhao felt a sense of guilt.

"Let's wait until I've recovered before we talk about it."

Zuo Yuan said seriously, "Running away won't solve the problem."

Lin Zhao: "..."

Alright alright.

"I understand. I'll apologize as soon as we can get in touch." Lin Zhao sighed. Indeed, having a Daoist partner is different from not having one.

Even when they were on their last breath, Lin Zhao never hesitated before, but now…

"Indeed, male beauty is alluring." Lin Zhao shook his head.

Zuo Yuan said coolly, "So Your Majesty intends to sever your Daoist partnership with the Demon Emperor?"

Lin Zhao quickly shook her head: "Of course not."

Although it's a bit troublesome, now that we've become Daoist partners, there's no reason to give up just because of the inconvenience.

Lin Zhao and Zuo Yuan exchanged some more information about their recent battles against the evil thoughts from the other world in the lower realm. Then Zuo Yuan said, "This old minister has recently sensed that Jin Ya's cultivation is about to break through to the level of an Upper Immortal. When Your Majesty ascends, this little girl will be able to keep up. The Golden Crow, a divine beast at the Upper Immortal level, is quite powerful in the upper realm."

When Lin Zhao heard that Jin Ya's cultivation had improved to this level, she was gratified but also somewhat emotional, after all, she had witnessed Jin Ya's growth over the years.

"I hope the trip to the Upper Realm will go smoothly." Lin Zhao said, then thought of something and said, "However, before going to the Upper Realm, we must go to the Ancestral Spirit Plane to resolve the issues between the Ancestral Spirit Plane and the demon races of the various planes."

Lin Zhao didn't want to be caught in the crossfire between the cultivation world and the evil thoughts of the other world, while also being eyed by the demonic realm within.

The two discussed their future plans for a while when light footsteps sounded outside. Lin Zhao and Zuo Yuan nodded, and Zuo Yuan respectfully withdrew.

Zuo Yuan returned to the Blue Duck Secret Realm, and besides Mu Mu, another person Lin Zhao knew very well opened the door.

However, the other person clearly didn't recognize Lin Zhao, only looking at her with a frown. "You're the one Mumu brought back?"

Lin Zhao nodded slightly to the Immortal Lord.

The Immortal Lord was surprised to see that Lin Zhao only nodded slightly to him.

Do you know who I am?

Lin Zhao stood up, gave the Immortal Lord a wry smile, and released a bit of pressure with the only power he could muster: "Immortal Lord, it is I."

At that moment, Lin Zhao's expression as he looked at the Immortal Lord was incredibly interesting.

The Immortal Lord initially focused on recognizing the aura and identifying the person. Once she realized who it was, she visibly panicked. Her first instinct was to hide Mumu at her feet. Then, she realized that Lin Zhao's current state and the way he spoke to her suggested he hadn't guessed Mumu's identity, and...

Based on Mumu and Lin Zhao's current behavior, she guessed that Lin Zhao was probably seriously injured and unable to use her spiritual senses to determine whether the child was her own.

After the Immortal Lord calmed down, he asked, "Your Majesty? What's wrong?"

Lin Zhao smiled wryly and said, "It's a long story. There's been a problem in the Three Emperors Plane, but the situation is still under control. I'm afraid I'll have to bother the Immortal Sect for a while. I hope the Immortal Sect won't tell anyone about my injury."

The Immortal Lord nodded hastily, naturally understanding Lin Zhao's meaning: "Your Majesty's current health is related to several major planes, so there can be no mishaps. However, Mumu's place is not suitable for recuperation. Why don't I take Your Majesty to the Immortal Sect for recuperation?"

Lin Zhao looked at Mu Mu.

Mumu understood what the Immortal Lord meant, jumped up and hugged Lin Zhao's legs: "I want to be with Zhao Zhao, I don't want to be separated from Zhao Zhao!"

Upon seeing this scene, the Immortal Lord's lips moved, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Is this the intimacy that comes with blood ties?

Despite having raised this child from infancy and put in a lot of effort, and with the help of other members of the immortal sect, Princess Mumu was never as close to them as she was to her biological mother whom she had only met two days prior.

Lin Zhao squatted down and touched the corner of the little girl's eye: "Then I will stay with Mu Mu. Mu Mu's spiritual root is the same as mine, so we are destined to be together. If I have a daughter in the future, I hope she is like Mu Mu."

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Lord broke out in a cold sweat. How could it be different?

This is the child that Ning Wengui conceived based on Lin Zhao's wishes. How could he be different from Lin Zhao?
The Immortal Lord said, "Mumu is young and mischievous, and I'm afraid she will delay His Majesty's recovery. This matter..."

Lin Zhao was now in a difficult position. After all, Mu Mu was a member of the Immortal Sect, and he didn't have a particularly close relationship with her. In fact, he was saved thanks to the Immortal Sect, so he couldn't afford to have any unpleasantness with them over this matter.

Mumu's eyes widened: "Grandma! I don't want to! I don't want to!"

For the first time, the Immortal Lord looked sternly at the little girl he loved so dearly and said, "No! Your Majesty is unwell; how can we delay Your Majesty's recovery?"

Mumu stared at the Immortal Lord for a while, then suddenly raised her voice and said, "I want to find Daddy! Grandma and the others are bullying Mumu! Look, Daddy's in seclusion, he doesn't care about me at all."

The child's adorable face was so beautiful that no one could resist her tears, not even the Celestial Lord.

Lin Zhao felt even more distressed: "I'm fine here. With Mu Mu here, I might recover faster."

Immortal Lord: "..." The problem is, she's afraid Lin Zhao will discover the truth!
