Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

Moreover, she needs time to grow, at least a thousand years, before she can reach the point of sitting on the throne of the Holy Lord. But who can wait for the Li family to develop for a thousand years? Putting aside everything else, the rules of the Holy Land are simply unacceptable.

Now both sides need a compromise, which is to find someone acceptable to both sides to succeed to the Holy Lord in the future. After thinking it over, Li Muyun decided that his granddaughter-in-law was the most suitable candidate.

Not surnamed Li, but also possessing the bloodline of the Wang family of Shaoqing, Lin Aoxue's mother came from the Wang family, and Lin Aoxue is Ye Liuyun's wife, Ye Liuyun is the nephew of the Beiming family, plus the marriage relationship of six daughters, it couldn't be more suitable.

"Oh, Grandma, I can go to the Nine Heavens Holy Land, but the problem is, are the Li family's four palaces willing to compromise?" Lin Aoxue asked rhetorically.

Li Muyun gave a wry smile.

"That's hard to say, it will take time, but judging from the way Ancestor Ziwei looks, she seems to have some ideas, but this matter still needs to be negotiated by them," Li Muyun replied.

For the Li family, agreeing to Li Muyun's wish to relinquish power and then let Lin Aoxue or Ye Liuyun ascend to the throne of the Holy Lord was a last resort; they would not agree to this plan until the very end.

“Grandma, we don’t want to ruin our relationship with this matter. Since our fates are intertwined with that of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, we are willing to act as peacemakers,” Ye Liuyun said after a moment’s thought.

Li Muyun nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. If the ancestor compromises, I will inform you as soon as possible. By the way, this child actually possesses both Yin and Yang spiritual roots, so he must have some kind of heaven-defying physique. Aoxue, what kind of physique does your child have?" Li Muyun asked.

This matter could not be kept from Li Muyun. Ye Liuyun had already secretly told Lin Aoxue about the Chaos Body, but Lin Aoxue acted as if it were a matter of course and was not surprised at all.

“Grandma, it should be a Chaos Body,” Ye Liuyun replied.

Li Muyun smiled.

"Haha, as expected. This child needs to be properly trained. I have another idea now, but we'll talk about it later." Li Muyun said with a smile, holding Ye Qingxue in his arms.

The grandfather and granddaughter talked for a long time. Li Muyun did not stay at the Supreme Response Sect for long; she only stayed for three days before planning to return to the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

But as she was leaving, Ye Liuyun secretly told Li Muyun something. What was it? Naturally, she told Li Muyun that her grandfather, Ye Feiwu, was still alive and currently in the capital.

Li Muyun was stunned when she heard this. She hadn't expected that her husband was almost right under her nose.

After seeing Li Muyun off, Ye Liuyun sighed with a headache.

"Ugh! This is so troublesome. Why did we get involved in this power struggle within the Nine Heavens Holy Land?" Ye Liuyun said, quite annoyed.

"Who knows? It just goes to show how strange fate can be. Your grandfather's plans have influenced the fate and direction of the Nine Heavens Holy Land. By the way, I have an idea too. When Qingxue grows up, if we don't want to go to the Nine Heavens Holy Land, why don't we let her go in our place?" Lin Aoxue suddenly had a bold idea.

Ye Liuyun was taken aback.

"Huh? This? Aren't you pushing the child into a fire pit?" Ye Liuyun rolled her eyes.

"Please, is this a pit of fire? With our children's aptitude, if they go to the Nine Heavens Holy Land, they'll be treated like trash. Just because they carry the bloodlines of three families, they're more suitable to be peacemakers than I am," Lin Aoxue said.

That's the truth. This child has the blood of the Li family, the Wang family, and the Beiming family, perfectly fitting the power dynamics of this world.

Meanwhile, back in the capital, Ye Feiwu was still alive because she had taken Ye Liuyun's elixir, and even had more than a hundred years left to live.

Ye Feiwu's years of planning led to the disintegration of the vast Tang Dynasty, which was almost entirely his doing.

His next task is to reintegrate the fragmented Tang Dynasty and establish a new dynasty, and she has already begun preparations.

Just as Ye Feiwu was checking messages from various places, a figure silently appeared at the window of her room.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Li Muyun. Li Muyun looked through the window at the young Ye Feiwu inside, and his eyes lit up.

Ye Feiwu, being just an ordinary person, certainly didn't notice Li Muyun's presence. But perhaps due to some unspoken connection, he glanced at the window beside him, and upon seeing it, Ye Feiwu was completely stunned.

Although the person in front of her was wearing a veil, she could never forget those eyes.

Ye Feiwu stood up in disbelief and walked towards the window.

The couple, who hadn't seen each other for over two hundred years, finally met.

With tears in her eyes, Li Muyun stared at Ye Feiwu, while Ye Feiwu, with an expression of disbelief, reached out and removed the veil from Li Muyun's face.

When Li Muyun's veil fell, a familiar face came into his view. Although the women of the Ye family were almost identical, there were still obvious differences. Only someone who was not familiar with them could mistake one for the other.

Li Muyun took the initiative to reach out and grab Ye Feiwu's hand, placing it on her face.

"My husband, we've finally met," Li Muyun murmured.

After saying that, Li Muyun flickered and entered Ye Feiwu's room, embracing her.

"Mu Yun, am I...am I dreaming?" Ye Feiwu was still in a daze.

He wondered if he was hallucinating because he missed his wife so much.

But the moment he touched her, he knew it was all real; his wife, whom he hadn't seen for over two hundred years, was truly standing before him.

Chapter 542 Life with a Child (5000 words + 800 monthly votes bonus chapter)

Three months later...

At Yaofeng, in the alchemy room of Ye Liuyun's dojo, Ye Liuyun, who had already regained her female appearance, was refining medicine in her own alchemy room.

Ye Liuyun looked utterly dejected.

The funniest thing wasn't her expression, but that in Ye Liuyun's arms, a chubby little boy with a naked bottom was grabbing at Ye Liuyun's shirt and making incessant babbling noises.

"Ugh! That's so irresponsible! How could they just leave like that? They should at least have given me some mental preparation," Ye Liuyun complained, recalling the scene from that morning.

In the morning, Lin Aoxue arrived at Ye Liuyun's residence in a huff, carrying their daughter. She then handed the child to Ye Liuyun without any ceremony and left the Taishang Ganying Sect without looking back, heading to the Tianlan Mountains to participate in the conflict between the two domains.

It seems she was really itching to go, so she insisted on going and no one could stop her.

Fortunately, Ye Qingxue grew exceptionally fast in these three months, unlike the growth of an ordinary baby. She was already able to crawl in just three months.

"Eeya, eeya."

Little Qingxue, perhaps hungry, kept staring at Ye Liuyun's chest and meowing incessantly.

To help his daughter adjust to having two mothers as soon as possible, Ye Liuyun basically showed her her real face after she opened her eyes.

"Oh dear! My little darling, I don't have any milk, so don't pull on my clothes. Besides, your mother said she fed you before she left, how could you be hungry so soon? Do you want to go play again?" Ye Liuyun asked while refining medicine.

The couple had a tough time for the past three months, especially after the little one started crawling. It was incredibly frustrating, as the little one would wander off to other places if they weren't careful.

Therefore, the two of them could only take turns keeping watch.

As for Lin Aoxue, she had already been holding back for a whole year, and if you ask her to patiently take care of the child, she really can't do it.

This isn't about being irresponsible; it's about her personality. Or rather, she wasn't psychologically prepared to be a mother at all. Wanting to have a child was purely a rash decision.

Humans are strange creatures. When you don't have children, you might really want one, but once you have children, you find that taking care of them is a very stressful thing.

For the past three months, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue have barely slept a wink. The little guy would cry for food several times a night, especially during the first month.

Fortunately, this little guy is a natural cultivator, and the food he eats is completely digested, so there is no problem with diarrhea.

This is a good thing. If it ate, drank, and defecated like an ordinary baby, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue would probably explode.

"Wah...wah..." When the little one saw that Ye Liuyun was ignoring her, she immediately started crying loudly again.

After being tugged at by the little guy several times, Ye Liuyun had no choice but to give up.

"Eh? Okay, okay, Mom will take you out for a walk after I finish this batch." Ye Liuyun was very annoyed.

This little one doesn't always want to eat; rather, she doesn't want to stay here any longer and wants to go out for a walk.

Although it was the first time for both she and Lin Aoxue to become mothers, they had gained some experience after three months.

Lin Aoxue said she would be staying in the Tianlan Mountains for a month, which meant Ye Liuyun would have to take care of Xiao Qingxue for a month.

After Ye Liuyun finished refining this batch of pills, he could only pick up the little one and then take out some small clothes to dress her.

However, Xiao Qingxue really dislikes wearing clothes and prefers to be naked and held by Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun. But after all, she is a little girl, and she will definitely need to wear clothes when she goes out.

“Come on, let’s go out for a walk. By the way, your heartless mother won’t be back for a month. For the next month, you’ll only be able to drink animal milk. Don’t worry, Mom has added something special to make it taste good,” Ye Liuyun said.

This little guy can already understand what others mean, which is quite a gift. He just can't speak, he can only speak baby talk.

"Eeya eeya." The little guy nodded, as if telling Ye Liuyun that he understood.

As soon as Ye Liuyun stood up, she transformed back into a man. The little girl seemed unfazed by this; she had initially been curious as to why her mother frequently changed her appearance.

Sure enough, the first thing Xiao Qingxue did after turning back into a man was to touch Ye Liuyun's chest.

She was probably curious why her breasts seemed to have disappeared, but they were actually still there, just invisible; she could feel them.

When the little girl first touched her chest, Ye Liuyun was a little uncomfortable. But in the past three months, she and Lin Aoxue discovered something: the little girl liked to touch their chests, especially when they were sleeping.

I can't sleep without **.

As soon as Ye Liuyun stepped out, Luo Mei and the others immediately gathered around.

"Master, are you taking your junior sister out to play?" Luo Mei and the others stared at Xiao Qingxue with shining eyes.

"Yes, I'll take the little one for a stroll," Ye Liuyun replied.

After exchanging greetings, Ye Liuyun went to Nalan Yan's place. Nalan Yan had hardly done anything lately, staying at her residence to take care of her child. She had no choice but to stay home, as she didn't have a partner.

By the way, her daughter's name is Nalan Rou, given to her by Ye Liuyun.

A few minutes later, at Nalan Yan's residence.

"Sister Nalan." As soon as Ye Liuyun arrived at Nalan Yan's residence, he saw Nalan Yan sitting idly in the courtyard with a child in her arms.

Upon hearing Ye Liuyun's voice, she quickly looked outside the courtyard.

"Haha, Liuyun is here! Little Qingxue is here too! Xiaorou, quickly say hello to your little sister Qingxue!" Nalan Yan said with a smile, picking up Nalan Rou from her arms.

Ye Liuyun walked directly into the courtyard. Once inside, she took out a thick blanket and placed it on the ground.

"Sister Nalan, let the two little ones play by themselves," Ye Liuyun suggested after placing Xiao Qingxue on the blanket.

Nalan Yan nodded, then placed her daughter on the blanket as well. This wasn't the first time the two little ones had met.

After the two little ones got together, they started babbling and talking, and it was hard to tell what they were saying, but they were clearly talking.

"By the way, has Sister Aoxue already gone to the Tianlan Mountains?" Nalan Yan asked.

Ye Liuyun sighed heavily.

"Sigh! She said she'd be gone for a month. To be honest, I'm very busy. I have to refine medicine every day, and this little one is always causing trouble. I just finished refining one batch of medicine, and she started fussing about coming out," Ye Liuyun said.

Nalan Yan kept laughing.

"You'll get used to it. You and Aoxue can take turns taking care of them, but I can't. By the way, if you really don't have time, I can come over to your place and help you take care of them. You see, these two little ones will definitely be best friends when they grow up." Nalan Yan smiled warmly as she looked at the two children who got along very well.

Indeed, the little guy is more well-behaved whenever he's with Nalan Rou.

“That’s good. Anyway, Sister Nalan, you don’t have anything to do right now. I have so many things to do. The sect consumes too many antidote pills every month. I can’t keep up with the demand. Haven’t they developed an antidote for the Five Poisons Sect’s poisons yet?” Ye Liuyun asked.

Yao Feng is indeed researching an antidote for the Five Poisons Sect's Gu poison, but progress is very slow.

“You know my master also had a baby and doesn’t have much time left. Relying solely on Senior Uncle Tai Fu and the other senior brothers and sisters will be very slow. Why don’t you help them out? With your alchemy skills, you should be able to concoct a targeted antidote for them sooner,” Nalan Yan suggested.

It's true that Ye Liuyun had the same idea. It's not that she didn't want to take care of the child, it's just that she didn't have much time. If she didn't need to refine medicine every day and could just take care of the child, Ye Liuyun would be very happy.

"I've thought about it, but I don't have time right now. Let's talk about it after Aoxue returns from the Tianlan Mountains. If I want to refine an antidote for the Five Poisons Sect, I have to go to the Tianlan Mountains myself," Ye Liuyun replied.

Only by personally conducting on-site investigations can the most effective conventional detoxification pills be refined in the shortest possible time.

"Oh, it's so nice to have a partner. At least you don't have to keep an eye on things like I do every day," Nalan Yan said with a hint of envy.

Actually, it's already quite remarkable that Ye Liuyun and the others are able to personally take care of their child, especially given their busy schedules.

If she and Lin Aoxue were still on Earth, they would probably hand the child over to their parents to take care of after the baby was weaned.

On Earth, most young couples don't have much time to take care of their children; it's usually the grandparents who do.

Many young parents, especially those from families with average financial means, only see their children a few times a year.

Therefore, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue had absolutely no experience in taking care of children, and could only rely on themselves to figure it out. This was bound to be frustrating, but the children of cultivators were already quite easy to take care of.

Ye Liuyun smiled awkwardly upon hearing this.

Three more days passed, and we looked at Lin Aoxue's side again.

In a certain part of the Tianlan Mountains, a beam of azure light shot into the sky, tearing through the heavens. Several small mountains around it exploded with a deafening roar. The area was as if a category 10 hurricane had been generated, completely destroying the mountains, trees, and vegetation.

After the azure light dissipated, a woman in white, wielding a top-grade earth-level wind-attribute sword, descended from the sky, looking down at a Five Poisons Sect cultivator lying in the ruins.

"Pfft! Damn it, how could I, a cultivator at the first level of the Nascent Soul Realm, be no match for someone at the late stage of the Divine Soul Realm? Why? This is impossible!" The disciple of the Five Poisons Sect was severely injured and could no longer get up.

As for the person who attacked him, it was naturally Lin Aoxue. Ordinary people at the early stage of the first level of the Nascent Soul realm were nothing in front of Lin Aoxue.

"Consider yourself lucky. I haven't wanted to kill anyone lately; I just wanted to fight. Unfortunately, you're too weak to satisfy me. Goodbye." Lin Aoxue said calmly, then prepared to leave.

The Five Poisons Sect cultivator was stunned when he saw that Lin Aoxue was not going to kill him.

"You? You won't kill me?" the Five Poisons Sect cultivator asked incredulously.

"If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn't even have had a chance to activate your primordial spirit dharma form just now," Lin Aoxue replied calmly.
