Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 272 Why should I return what I borrowed through my own abilities?
In front of a grave in Liujia Village.

The Holy Mother of the Three Kingdoms stared blankly at Liu Yanchang's tomb, her eyes flashing with many memories, while a white-haired boy in brown clothes stood beside her.

"Yanchang, I'm out."

“Mother, Father’s passing was a joyous one. He has long since been reincarnated, so there’s no need to be so grief-stricken. You might as well take it easy.”

Do you think your father is doing well in his next life?

Zhuang Buran was silent for a moment, then said:

"I just did some calculations. Since my father passed away, I have reincarnated more than ten times. In this life, I am a seven-year-old girl. Mother, do you plan to recognize my sisters or my daughter?"

The Third Holy Mother was speechless for a moment, then said:

"Since Heaven has pardoned your mother and is not holding your uncle accountable, but instead recognizes your uncle's merit in promoting the new Heavenly Laws, it has bestowed upon him many rewards. From now on, will you stay in Liu Family Village or go to Mount Hua with your mother?"

"Of course, I'm going to Mount Hua to sponge off my parents," the white-haired, brown-clad youth said matter-of-factly.

The Third Holy Mother instantly understood the meaning of "living off one's parents," and said quietly:
"Is Mother very old?"

The white-haired, brown-clad youth smiled and said:
“My mother is the kindest and most beautiful person. She would not have the heart to let her child wander the world and end up on the streets.”

After the white-haired, brown-clad youth finished speaking, the Third Holy Mother couldn't help but smile.
"I really don't know how your father raised you."

With a slight thought, Zhuang Buran produced a nine-inch-tall lamp in his hand, its entire body emerald green, shaped like a blooming lotus.

"Mother, return it to its rightful owner."

"You have completely refined the Lotus Lantern, reaching the point of perfect harmony between you and the lantern. The power of this lantern in your hands is far greater than in your mother's hands. You should keep it."

"I have the Heaven-Opening Axe, so this lamp has naturally become a useless thing."

The white-haired, brown-clad boy placed the Lotus Lantern directly into the hands of the Holy Mother.

"Your uncle said you borrowed the Heaven-Opening Axe, so you have to return it later, right?"

Zhuang Buran said somewhat lazily:
"Why should I return what I borrowed through my own abilities?"

The Holy Mother of the Three Saints: "."

Time flies like an arrow, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Huashan.

In a peach grove that resembled a fairyland, a white-haired boy in brown clothes lay lazily under an old peach tree.

At a stone table not far away, the Third Holy Mother was chatting and drinking tea with Ao Tingxin when suddenly three beams of light fell down, revealing Yang Jian, Xiaotianquan, and Chang'e.

"Chenxiang, your uncle and your aunt Chang'e are here. Why don't you come over and say hello!"

The Third Holy Mother called out towards the old peach tree, only to see the white-haired, brown-clad boy still fast asleep with his eyes closed. He merely raised his hand and waved, as if to say hello.

"This child is getting lazier every day," the Third Holy Mother sighed helplessly.

Yang Jian said dismissively:

"Third sister, you don't know this, but Chenxiang already looked like this when he was in Liujia Village."

The Celestial Dog chuckled:
“I can testify that when I descended to the mortal realm to accompany Chenxiang for over sixty years, I saw that he spent his days sleeping, which made me develop a habit of taking afternoon naps.”

After listening, Ao Tingxin was only interested in another matter, and a meaningful smile appeared on her face:
"Erlang Shen, you and Chang'e descended to the mortal realm together today. Could it be that you are about to have a happy occasion and have come to deliver a wedding invitation?"

"Fourth Princess, how come you've started to enjoy teasing people just like Chenxiang?" Chang'e said somewhat awkwardly, her ears slightly red.

Ao Tingxin spoke slowly and deliberately:
"Now that you two are in love, what kind of teasing is this?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian smiled and said:

"Chang'e and I are indeed together. As for marriage, we should talk about it after we've finished being busy for a while."

As the Third Holy Mother and Ao Tingxin showed surprise and delight, the Celestial Hound began to explain:
"Because the Heavenly Court has just changed its rules, there are many things to do. So the master plans to marry the fairy Chang'e after he has dealt with all these matters."

"That's wonderful!" said the Third Holy Mother, her face beaming with joy.
"Second brother, you've finally overcome all your hardships and gotten married to Chang'e." She lowered her voice as she said this:
"Howling Celestial Dog, you've lived with Chenxiang for decades, haven't you ever felt any affection for him?"

"No, there really isn't." The Celestial Dog scratched the back of its head.

“I once asked him why he didn’t want to get married and have children, and this is what he said to me.”

The Third Holy Mother pressed on with questions:

"What?"

"I didn't understand at all. What did they say about worldly prosperity? I just laughed it off. My mind changes with my environment, and my environment disappears with my mind."

"What else is there to be indifferent to staying or leaving, unmoved by favor or disgrace, in accordance with the way of heaven, and carefree and unrestrained?"

Upon hearing this, Ao Tingxin shook her head:

"It's obvious that Chenxiang has absolutely no feelings for him."

Just then, a beam of light descended from the sky, revealing a girl in pink:
"Which of you is the Third Holy Mother of Mount Hua?"

"Young lady, what brings you here?"

"Are you the Third Holy Mother?" the girl in pink couldn't help but ask, "Chenxiang's mother?"

"Indeed, you know Chenxiang?" The Third Holy Mother suddenly remembered something, her eyes crinkling into a smile:
"You must be Fox Sister's daughter, named Xiaoyu, right?"

"Has Chenxiang mentioned me to you?" Xiaoyu's expression was no longer as cold as before.

With a gentle smile, the Third Holy Mother stepped forward and took Xiaoyu's hand in a very friendly manner:

"Chenxiang said you are the only person he has ever been close to in his life. He also said that you are pure and kind-hearted, not like a monster at all. He added that if you hadn't met him, you would probably have been completely deceived, or even sold out, and you would still be counting the money for the seller."

"I'm not as stupid as he says." Xiaoyu could no longer maintain her cold expression.

The Three Holy Mothers nodded:
"Yes, that's what I think too. I even scolded him back then, and told him that I was an old friend of your mother's and that he should take good care of you and not bully you."

Xiaoyu couldn't help but plead:

"There's no need to scold Chen Xiang. I was able to master the 'Heaven-Splitting Palm' entirely thanks to his help."

After hearing this, the Holy Mother sighed and said, "You really are just like your mother."

She immediately pulled the girl in pink:

"Xiaoyu, let me introduce you. This is Chenxiang's uncle, this is Ao Tingxin, the fourth princess of the East Sea, and this is the fairy Chang'e from heaven."

"After your parents passed away, I originally planned to adopt you. However, my second brother, who is also Chenxiang's uncle, couldn't help but feel sorry for you and took you to Guanjiangkou. If your maternal grandmother hadn't taken you away in the end, you should have called Uncle Chenxiang your godfather."

Xiaoyu shook her head repeatedly, seemingly lost in thought.

"I don't want to be called godfather."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian's lips curled slightly, and he said:
"Actually, you can call me Uncle, just like Chenxiang did."

"This"

Xiaoyu looked around, unsure whether she should call out or not.

“Xiaoyu, you need to stand up straight. Judging from your posture, you’re here for revenge. How can you let yourself be led into a trap so easily?”

The white-haired, brown-clad youth not far away stood up and said lazily:

"Even if you don't have any thoughts of revenge now, it shouldn't turn into a family reunion!"

"Why don't you come and have a drink with me of the peach blossom wine I brewed myself? Maybe when the wine takes effect, you'll have the ruthless thought of killing your enemy with a single blow."

After hearing this, the Third Holy Mother and the others had a strange look on their faces, but Xiao Yu didn't think much of it and ran over as if she had been granted a pardon:
"I've come to drink with you."
