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

Seeing his delighted expression, Su Qingluan smiled gently and nodded.

"Yes, of course."

Looking at Su Qingluan's gentle demeanor, Xu Yi couldn't help but stand up, take a step back, and look at her with a puzzled expression.

"Why are you being so gentle all of a sudden today?"

Su Qingluan's smile faded, and a complex emotion flashed in her phoenix eyes. She remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Because in a few days, I will be leaving you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yi was first taken aback, then rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Are you trying to tease me again?

Su Qingluan sighed and said earnestly.

"I'm not kidding you this time. In a few days, I really will be leaving you."

Xu Yi looked at her like this and was about to ask what was wrong when he was hugged.

Su Qingluan stretched out her jade-like arms and pulled Xu Yi into her embrace, holding him tightly.

Her face was pressed against the top of Xu Yi's head, her voice choked with emotion, as if she was about to cry.

"I...I'm going into seclusion. I'll miss you so much..."

Xu Yi was taken aback for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief, patted her back, and comforted her.

"No, so this is all there is to it."

"You looked like you were never going to see me again. You gave me quite a fright."

Wait, seclusion?

Xu Yi suddenly realized what was happening, looked up at her, his eyes filled with shock.

"Why are you in seclusion? Have you broken through to a higher level again?!"

Su Qingluan shook her head and tickled Xu Yi's itchy spot.

"No, it's just consolidating my realm."

After a moment, she raised her head, her phoenix eyes looking earnestly at Xu Yi, her tone carrying a hint of solemnity.

"Oh, right, I want to use an unconditional request."

Xu Yi rolled his eyes and asked.

"What?"

Su Qingluan's fingers gently traced his cheek, her tone carrying an undeniable forcefulness and a hint of possessiveness.

"Once I leave, that means only Jiang Xuange will be with you. You need to keep a certain distance from her, okay?"

Xu Yi was about to say something when Su Qingluan interrupted him.

"I don't want to receive news that she's pregnant as soon as I come out."

"If that happened, I would go crazy."

Xu Yi couldn't help but cough twice, and said somewhat awkwardly.

"Cough cough, probably not."

Cultivators have special physical constitutions, making it difficult for them to conceive in the first place. In addition, their cultivation levels are very high, making it even more difficult for them to get pregnant.

"Absolutely not!"

Su Qingluan emphasized her words and pinched Xu Yi's ear.

"Yes, yes, yes...it definitely won't happen, calm down."

......

Three days later, Jiang Xuange, who had recovered from her injuries, returned to the palace in the morning light.

She wore a light blue long dress, the hem of which was covered with morning dew, making her skin appear even whiter and more delicate. Her gentle demeanor remained, but her face still carried a trace of lingering pallor.

She had just reached the pond in the Imperial Garden when she saw a small, chubby boy standing under a willow tree.

The child was wearing a red brocade robe. He puffed out his cheeks and kicked at the pebbles on the ground. His figure looked somewhat familiar.

Jiang Xuange blinked and slowly walked forward.

Only when they got closer could they see that the child's features were clearly those of Xu Yi, indicating that he had been shrunk down by some crazy woman again.

Jiang Xuange couldn't help but chuckle, reaching out to gently pick up the sulking Xu Yi. Her fingertips touched his soft cheeks, her voice full of tenderness.

"Xu Lang, what happened...? Su Qingluan shrunk you again?"

When Xu Yi saw it was her, he pouted but didn't resist. He wrapped his little arms around her neck and nodded sullenly.

"Yeah, she can't take a bet when playing cards... she cheats when she loses, and used her spiritual power to turn me into this."

Xu Yi reached out his chubby hand and tugged at Jiang Xuange's sleeve, his round eyes filled with concern.

"Are you... are you healed?"

Jiang Xuange's heart melted instantly. She looked down at the miniature version of Xu Yi in her arms and gently brushed her fingertips across his cheek.

His eyes were full of gentle smiles, even the hint of his hidden stubbornness had faded somewhat.

"It's all better now..."

On the artificial hill in the distance, Su Qingluan leaned against the railing, her fair skin accentuated by a gold-embroidered phoenix palace dress. Her phoenix eyes were half-closed as she took in the whole scene.

Instead of her usual jealousy or anger, she stroked her chin, lost in thought.

"yes"

Su Qingluan's red lips curved slightly as she murmured to herself, her tone carrying a hint of sudden realization.

"Why don't I just turn Xu Yi into a child before I go into seclusion?"

"Jiang Xuange wouldn't go so far as to harm a child, would he?"

But then, upon further reflection, Su Qingluan frowned, clicked her tongue, and sounded rather troubled.

"It's that Xu Yi guy. He'll definitely throw a tantrum, make a scene, and threaten suicide. I'm sure I'll soften and can't take it..."

Su Qingluan tapped her fingertips lightly on the railing, lost in thought.

Sunlight shone on her stunning profile, highlighting her delicate jawline.

Her fingers paused, her eyes darted around, and she quickly came up with an idea, a sly smile playing on her red lips.

"Then I'll have to do it in the middle of the night... Once I've turned him into a tiny little guy, I'll immediately go into seclusion..."

By the pond, Jiang Xuange held Xu Yi as they sat on a stone bench under a willow tree, softly telling him some interesting stories.

Xu Yi leaned against her soft embrace, nodding his head as he listened silently.

Jiang Xuange looked down at Xu Yi in her arms and couldn't help but swallow.

Mmm...so cute...so cute...I wish it could stay like this forever.

Her fingers gently combed through Xu Yi's soft hair, her movements incredibly tender.

......

Two nights later, in Xu Yi's dream world.

In the air, Xu Yi lifted the curtain of the donkey cart, stood next to Qingqing, looked at the magnificent sea of ​​clouds before him, couldn't help but shake his head, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew... After taking so long, we've finally arrived near Meteor Pool."

Qingqing's driving skills are really bad, and she has a terrible sense of direction, often veering off course, which is why they're only arriving now.

Qingqing wiped her sweat, turned around, her eyes showing some fatigue, and spoke softly.

"My lord, let's go downstairs for a meal and rest for the day. I... I really can't go on..."

Bai Li also called out listlessly, her ears drooping, looking extremely tired.

Xu Yi glanced at the exhausted Qingqing, then at the listless Bai Li, and nodded.

"Alright, I'm hungry too. Let's go down to a town to rest for the day and set off again tomorrow."

The donkey cart slowly descended, landing outside a bustling town.

As soon as I stepped through the city gate, I was greeted by a cacophony of vendors' cries, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

"Eggs for sale! Eggs for sale! Eggs laid by fourth and fifth-tier demonic beasts, the Crimson Chickens. They are extremely nutritious, not only replenishing spiritual energy but also strengthening the body!"

"Don't question whether the eggs taste good or not. I eat forty of these eggs a day. If they don't taste good, I'll make them for you."

Bai Li's ears perked up immediately. It raised its little head and let out two soft, longing calls to Xu Yi.

The little nose sniffed lightly, its eyes fixed on the bright red egg.

Seeing its appearance, Xu Yi smiled and picked up an egg, preparing to ask the price.
