He had just been reborn when he was imprisoned by his nemesis, the Empress?

Xu Yi suddenly looked up at Su Qingluan, who was standing to the side with a smile on her face, and angrily roared...

"Su Qingluan! Change back to normal! You bastard!"

Su Qingluan looked down at the small ball, suppressing her laughter, and quickly walked forward.

Then he reached out and carefully picked up little Xu Yi.

Xu Yi struggled to get down, but she held him tightly in her arms.

Su Qingluan lowered her head and pinched his chubby little face, which was very, very soft. She couldn't help but pinch it again, her voice full of laughter.

"It's more interesting to watch while I'm holding you..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yi's face turned red with anger, and he reached out and punched her collarbone several times.

Su Qingluan smiled nonchalantly, freeing one hand to gently pat his round bottom.

"Today is my birthday, can't you grant my request just this once?"

After an unknown amount of time, the last talisman exploded in the air, turning into a sky full of starlight, and slowly dissipated.

Xu Yi leaned on Su Qingluan's shoulder, reached out his small hand and tugged at her hair, urging her to hurry up.

"Take me back to being a human right now, this isn't over yet!"

Looking at his puffed-up little face, Su Qingluan found it incredibly cute and couldn't help but lower her head and give him two quick kisses on his soft cheeks.

Then, reluctantly, she put Xu Yi down, ran her fingertips across his head, and infused him with a wisp of spiritual energy.

A faint halo flashed by, and Xu Yi's body quickly returned to its original adult state, except that her kiss mark remained on his cheek.

As soon as Xu Yi steadied himself, he reached up and rubbed his face, muttering a complaint.

"So annoying..."

Upon hearing this, Su Qingluan was about to say something when she saw Xu Yi take out a neatly folded sheet of Xuan paper and a pen from his storage bag and hand them to her.

Write down a wish.

Xu Yi looked at her and said.

Su Qingluan was taken aback, then took the paper and pen, her fingertips lightly stroking the paper, her phoenix eyes curving slightly.

She glanced up at Xu Yi and saw that he was looking at the night sky and not at her. Then she used her spiritual power to levitate the Xuan paper and picked up her brush to write.

She looked at the Xuan paper, countless thoughts flashing through her mind, and finally, the tip of her brush touched the paper and slowly wrote a line of words.

The handwriting was elegant yet possessed a certain strength and grace.

I will always be with Xu Yi.

After finishing writing, she blew the ink off the paper, folded it into a small square, held it in her palm, and didn't show it to Xu Yi. She just looked up and smiled at him.

"It's finished."

After watching her finish writing, Xu Yi couldn't resist his curiosity and leaned closer to ask...

"What did you write?"

Su Qingluan slowly shook her head.

"If I don't tell you, will it still work?"

Xu Yi thought about it and felt that what she said made sense, so he nodded.

"Yes, give me the paper."

Su Qingluan glanced at him, handed him the folded Xuan paper, and said in a teasing tone.

"You're not allowed to peek."

Xu Yi took the Xuan paper and rolled his eyes.

"yes......"

As he spoke, he turned around and took out over a hundred lanterns he had bought that afternoon from his storage bag, placing them one by one on the open ground by the lake.

The candles for the lanterns had been prepared long ago. With a flick of his finger, Xu Yi lit a small flame and lit each lantern one by one.

In an instant, hundreds of lanterns lit up, their warm yellow light reflecting on the lake and complementing the full moon in the sky, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

Finally, he walked to the largest lantern, gently placed the wish written by Su Qingluan inside, and then sealed the lantern shut.

After doing all this, he raised his hand and waved it, activating his spiritual power. The largest lantern slowly rose, carrying Su Qingluan's wish, and flew into the night sky.

Other lanterns followed suit, with hundreds of lanterns slowly drifting in the night sky.

Like moving stars, they illuminated the entire night sky.

Su Qingluan stood beside him, looking at the lanterns in the sky, her lips slightly upturned, her eyes full of gentle smiles.

......

After returning home, Xu Yi looked at Su Qingluan sitting at the dressing table and couldn't help but ask...

"What about the reward you promised?"

The bronze mirror reflected Su Qingluan's stunningly beautiful face. She held an eyebrow pencil between her fingers, carefully outlining the curve of the corner of her eye.

Hearing this, he merely glanced at Xu Yi through the mirror, his tone nonchalant.

"Don't rush me, tell me first why you were staring at those women on the street on the way back."

Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, then scratched the back of his head, looking completely bewildered.

"No, aren't they opera singers? You don't have to get angry just because I glance at them a few times..."

Why is she becoming more and more possessive? No wonder she hasn't bothered me much lately.

Su Qingluan put down the comb, turned around, rested her elbows on the dressing table, her chin on her palms, and looked at him intently.

"Am I angry? I'm not angry."

Seeing her insincere expression, Xu Yi sighed helplessly and simply waved his hand, saying...

"Alright, since you're not angry, I'm going to sleep now."

With that, he turned and left, taking a few steps to the bedside and sprawling out on the soft quilt in a wide, unladylike manner.

Su Qingluan was initially only slightly annoyed, but seeing his nonchalant attitude, her anger flared up instantly.

She neatly tied up her silky hair, got up, walked to the bedside, and lay down.

The next second, Xu Yi felt a warm, soft body press against him, and then a pair of slender yet strong arms suddenly wrapped around his neck.

Xu Yi felt his chest tighten and his face turned red from being choked. He reached out to pry her arm off and gasped for breath.

"Quick, loosen your grip, I'm suffocating!"

Instead of letting go, Su Qingluan reached out and grabbed his chin, forcing him to look up at her. A fierce possessiveness surged in her phoenix eyes.

"If you ever dare to look at another woman again, I will make her disappear forever, do you hear me...?"

She gently traced his Adam's apple with her fingertips, her tone suddenly shifting to a softer, more alluring quality.

"Young master, you wouldn't want to see so many innocent girls disappear because of you, would you?"

Xu Yi froze, his grip on her wrist halting, a mixture of anger and helplessness welling up inside him.

"Su Qingluan, you..."

Xu Yi was extremely annoyed.

How did I make things worse...?

......

On the other side, in the Divine Continent, atop a mountain shrouded in mist, stands a simple and ancient bamboo building.

Inside the bamboo building, the air was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood, and a beautiful figure stood by the window.

She wore a light blue gauze dress, her hair was as black as ink, and she was gently stroking an ancient seven-stringed zither in her hand.

Standing beside her was a petite girl with her hair in two buns, who couldn't help but urge them on.

"Sister Jiang, now that we've retrieved the item, shouldn't we set off to find him?"

Jiang Xuange raised her hand, her fingertips gently pressing on the strings, producing a clear and melodious sound.

"No, that's not enough. We're missing one more thing. Once we get it, we'll go find him."

Su Qingluan, you're dead...
