His Highness the Madman gave in again today.

"I originally planned to tell you when there was progress."

Feng Xingyu made no attempt to hide anything from Mo Sangyu, and immediately told her when she asked.

It turns out that Feng Xingyu had been trying to use spatial magic to find an absolutely safe haven during this time.

He dared not take any chances in this matter.

Even with the soul contract, if the heavenly lightning strikes, he will bear eight-tenths of the damage, while the remaining two-tenths will hit Ayu, a pregnant woman, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

He absolutely could not risk Ayu and the child; he had to find a way to ensure absolute safety.

Everything that happened tonight has proven that the heavenly tribulation really will come, and it is aimed at the children.

Feng Xingyu's hazy memories told him that his and Ayu's child was a child of gods and demons, and would attract heavenly tribulation on the day of its birth.

Because newborns are the most vulnerable time for a baby, at which point not only can the baby not be saved, but the mother's body will also suffer severe damage.

Upon hearing this, Mo Sangyu remained silent for a long time before asking him, "Then, have you found a satisfactory place?"

Feng Xingyu's eyes darkened slightly, and he slowly shook his head.

"Based on fragments of memory in my mind, Cangxuan Realm is actually the best sanctuary."

"That was a small world created by the ancestors of the Yun and Rong clans, transcending the Three Realms and not subject to the rule of Heaven. Unfortunately, it has already been exposed."

"If we hide inside, the Nine Heavens Thunder will pour down, not only will it fail to protect us, but it will also completely annihilate the entire Cangxuan Realm."

"The rest of the major continents are all within the Three Realms, and they cannot escape the detection of the Heavenly Dao at all."

Mo Sangyu pondered for a moment, then said softly, "Doesn't the Three Realms exclude the demon race and the monster race?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Xingyu nodded and patiently explained it to her in detail.

"The orthodox Three Realms have always consisted of only three places: the Heavenly Realm, the Human Realm, and the Underworld."

"Demons are all living beings, while evil spirits are formed from the primordial chaos. They are disorderly, bloodthirsty, warlike, and disregard the rules of heaven. They are evil and extremely chaotic."

"Therefore, they are the ones that Heaven relentlessly pursues, but it is precisely because of the chaos that they have become a blind spot outside the rules."

"If we can find a place where neither demons nor monsters dwell, and where spiritual energy is scarce, we can hide our presence and perhaps escape this calamity."

Feng Xingyu reached out and placed his hand on her lower abdomen, his palm warm: "Once the child is safely born, we will seal the innate divine and demonic energy within him, which will temporarily avert this calamity."

"If you put it that way, there's a place that would be quite suitable."

Mo Sangyu's eyes flickered, and she smiled faintly, "It's the world I used to live in. Although there are some hidden anomalies there, the spiritual energy is extremely scarce, so they can be almost ignored."

"If we can find the entrance, we should go back there."

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Feng Xingyu's eyes.

In fact, he had this thought as well.

He had always wanted to see what the place where Ayu used to live was like.

However, the world is vast and there are countless planes. To accurately find the entrance to that world is like finding a needle in a haystack, which is extremely difficult.

Mo Sangyu looked at him and suddenly asked, "How many places have you been to during this time?"

Feng Xingyu thought for a moment and replied truthfully, "About a hundred."

Every time he goes to a new place, he gets a general feel for the spiritual energy and rules there. If he doesn't like it, he immediately leaves and moves on to the next place.

Mo Sangyu pondered for a moment, then asked, "Do you remember the entrances to those places? It would be best if you could draw a map."

Feng Xingyu paused for a moment, then nodded: "I'll give it a try."

Having said that, he lightly touched his brow with his index finger, and a wisp of divine thought overflowed, slowly outlining in the void.

Before long, a complex star map appeared in front of the two of them.

The surface was covered with countless dots of light, each dot representing a world he had once visited.

But this map only shows the places he has been to; the areas he hasn't visited are blank.

Looking at the incomplete star map, Feng Xingyu frowned slightly.

At this rate, finding the entrance to Ayu's world remains an extremely difficult and hopeless endeavor.

"If there's anything to guide you, or any scent you can sense..."

Before Feng Xingyu could finish speaking, Mo Sangyu's eyes suddenly lit up.

His reminder made her remember something.

"I have a jade pendant with my surname engraved on it. The pendant is connected to my soul and should still be in the hands of my adoptive parents."

Mo Sangyu's tone became lighter: "I can give it a try."

Upon hearing this, Feng Xingyu's eyes lit up with joy: "That's wonderful."

At this point in the conversation, the matter that had been weighing on my mind finally made substantial progress.

The next step is to adopt a two-pronged approach.

On one hand, they wait for Mo Sangyu to use the jade pendant, in conjunction with Feng Xingyu's spatial manipulation, to accurately locate the entrance to the modern world.

On the other hand, before they leave, Da Chen's affairs must be properly arranged.

This departure could last at least a year, or at least half a year, before I can return. I need to make arrangements in advance for the affairs of the country and the government.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, before the sound of firecrackers outside the palace had even stopped, Gu Jinzhi entered the palace early in the morning.

He talked with Feng Xingyu in the imperial study for more than two hours before coming out. When he did, his usually gentle face was tinged with a heavy expression.

This time, it's unclear whether he will be allowed to rule directly, or whether a dummy will be left for him to rule from behind the scenes.

Mo Sangyu didn't ask how they discussed and decided on it, but it was settled in the end.

In the end, the throne of the Great Chen Dynasty fell on Gu Jinzhi's shoulders.

After that, Feng Xingyu went to Cangxuan Realm alone again.

He went to the Yun Clan and the Rong Clan respectively, and explained the situation to Yun Wangshu and Rong Xuanci, but concealed the dangerous part, only saying that he would be leaving Da Chen for a period of time, hoping that they could take care of Da Chen within this year.

Just before he was leaving, Yun Yihe suddenly called out to him.

Then, he awkwardly pulled out a communication device from his sleeve—a device possessed only by the Cloud Clan's lord—and shoved it into Feng Xingyu's hand.

"Take this and give it to the person in charge of Da Chen."

Yun Yihe turned his head, his tone arrogant: "If you encounter any difficulties, you can contact me through this. I...we'll be there right away."

This time, Feng Xingyu did not refuse.

Holding the item in his hand, he surprisingly said, "Thank you, cousin."

After saying that, he disappeared on the spot, running away incredibly fast.

Yun Yihe looked at the empty space in front of him, scoffed softly, and when he turned around, a faint smile couldn't be helped to appear on his thin lips.

the other side.

On the other hand, before leaving, Mo Sangyu also had many things she was worried about to tell him one by one.

She summoned all the unmarried men—Yazi, Luo Ming, Yueying, Yuan Zhao, Lu Jin, and Han Xiao—to her.

They had the generous betrothal gifts, which had been prepared for them long ago, delivered to them one by one in advance.

Looking at the familiar faces before her, Mo Sangyu said with expectation, "I hope that when His Majesty and I return, we will see that you have all married and have your own stable families."

Luo Ming, Yuan Zhao, and Han Xiao all have someone they like in the future, and getting married is only a matter of time.

Lu Jin is the only one who still has no one by his side.

Mo Sangyu gave him a few extra instructions: "I have already prepared the house and betrothal gifts for you, General Lu. You will have to take good care of them yourself."

"Understood, Your Majesty," Lu Jin replied, bowing his head, but a pang of sadness welled up inside him.

Not only him, but everyone else felt the same way, feeling both touched and saddened as they listened to Mo Sangyu's words of advice.

They had learned from Chief Minister Gu that His Majesty and the Empress would be leaving Da Chen for some time.

Although Gu Jinzhi only said that he had a reason to leave and did not reveal any danger, everyone sensibly did not ask further. However, the sudden prospect of a long separation made it impossible to suppress the bitterness in their hearts.

Especially before their departure, the Empress still thought so carefully about each and every one of them.

This made them all tear up.

In truth, they longed to leave with His Majesty and the Empress, but Da Chen also needed them to stay and guard it.

This is the empire they built side by side; they can't just leave the entire burden to Old Gu alone.

After a reluctant farewell, Mo Sangyu deliberately kept Ya Zi and Yue Ying behind.

Ya Zi immediately knelt down heavily before Mo Sangyu.

He didn't say a word, but his straight back and slightly trembling shoulders conveyed a thousand unspoken words.

Mo Sangyu sighed softly and said gently, "Yazi, after I leave, Wanwan will be in your care. Your betrothal gifts, along with Wanwan's dowry, are all being handed over to you today."

Ya Zi remained kneeling upright, her eyes already red-rimmed, but she simply pursed her lips and remained silent.

Mo Sangyu said no more; the trust between them never needed many words to embellish it.

She waved gently, indicating that he could leave.

Ya Zi respectfully performed the full kneeling ceremony and said in a hoarse voice, "Miss, take care."

Only then did he rise and slowly and heavily leave the main hall.

Mo Sangyu watched his departing figure, and there seemed to be a hint of loneliness hidden in that figure.

After Ya Zi left, only Yue Ying remained in the hall.

Mo Sangyu looked at her, then turned and walked to the imperial desk, took out a pre-prepared imperial edict, and handed it to Yueying.

A hint of doubt flashed in Yueying's eyes. She took the imperial edict with both hands, opened it, and froze on the spot.

It turned out to be an imperial decree bestowing marriage upon her, betrothing her to Feng Tingye.

The wedding date above is blank, obviously left for them to fill in themselves.

Mo Sangyu's usually cool voice softened slightly: "Although His Majesty and I cannot attend your wedding in person, as his elder brother and sister-in-law, his betrothal gifts have long been prepared."

She paused, then added, "Later I will have someone send your dowry and his betrothal gifts to your residence together."

Holding the imperial edict, Yueying was already in tears.

She could no longer hold back and knelt down to kowtow to Mo Sangyu.

Mo Sangyu bent down and helped her up, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Now that you are pregnant, you should take care of your health. While the pregnancy is still in its early stages, you should hold the wedding as soon as possible. After that, you will go back to the capital with him to be his princess and keep an eye on him for the rest of your life."

This last sentence made Yueying, who was crying her eyes out, laugh again.

The luckiest thing about her life was first meeting such a good master as Feng Xingyu, and then meeting such a good mistress as Mo Sangyu, which led to her having such a fulfilling life.

She never even asked for anything, yet His Majesty and the Empress had already done everything for her.

"Your Majesty, you are a person who appears cold on the outside but is passionate on the inside. We have all been melted by your warmth."

"Oh?"

Mo Sangyu was taken aback, then chuckled softly, "Really?"

Is her heart burning with passion?

But isn't she a great demon?

Does a person's personality change drastically after reincarnation?

Temperament may change, but one's true nature... will never change.

"Um."

Yueying nodded, a knowing smile on her face: "Your Majesty is the best person I have ever met."

After saying this, she bowed deeply again, then took two steps back and turned to leave.

In the following days, Mo Sangyu gave some instructions to Granny Yu and took some time to go out of the palace to see Feng Mian and Wen Zhixia.

After Feng Xingyu finished his work, the couple began to search for the entrance to the modern space.

Mo Sangyu's jade pendant was a vessel created by her biological father to preserve her soul from dissipation.

Therefore, the jade pendant still retained the aura of her soul, and she could still sense it even across time and space.

Combined with Feng Xingyu's spatial manipulation techniques, finding the modern entrance became much easier.

It took them three days to roughly determine the location.

To ensure everything went smoothly, the couple decided to act together.

However, before entering the spatial vortex, they went to one more place.

They had promised Chu Canglan that if they were to go to the world where Yin Yue lived someday, they would take him with them.

As for whether they will ever see Silver Moon again, that depends on their own fate.

Feng Xingyu teleported with Mo Sangyu and Bai Tuanzi to the outside of Youdu City. Seeing the familiar scenery, it was as if he had returned to three years ago.

However, compared to three years ago, there have been quite a few changes here.

Ordinary people no longer need to pay money when entering the city; they only need to have their ID cards and passes checked. Female merchants are treated much more kindly.

After entering the city, the couple discovered that a women and children's aid station had been set up there.

It took in many orphans and widows, as well as some helpless women, providing them not only with a place to live, but also hiring people to teach them how to be self-reliant.

As I walked along, I saw the long street bustling with activity, a rare sense of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of the city.

The guards patrolled with gentle expressions, and women and children did not need to hide themselves from the passersby. Women could show their faces openly and confidently, their expressions relaxed and serene.

There was no bullying of the weak, only an orderly and peaceful atmosphere.

Looking at this thriving scene, Mo Sangyu thought to herself, "It seems that Chu Canglan has indeed put in a lot of effort over the past six months."

"It's all thanks to Silver Moon," said Phoenix Emperor.

After wandering around for a long time, the two finally arrived at the gate of the city lord's mansion.

The guards at the gate did not recognize them, but upon seeing the two—a woman with silver hair and a man with red eyes—both possessing celestial beauty, they were deeply shaken.

Has His Majesty and Empress of the Great Chen Dynasty arrived?

I've heard that Her Majesty has silver hair, while His Majesty has red eyes!

But how did they end up here?

The guard dared not speak rashly, and could only cautiously inquire, "Excuse me, gentlemen, is there anything I can help you with?"

At that moment, a person walked out from the adjacent courtyard.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Upon seeing Feng Xingyu and Mo Sangyu, the newcomer quickly stepped forward, knelt on one knee to pay his respects, and then glanced at them.

His gaze fell on Mo Sangyu, his eyes slightly trembling: "Your Majesty, you..."

"It's you! Long time no see."
