We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

”His Majesty has likely gone to Consort Muʼs palace,” Yan Ruxue said with easy composure.

Xiao Chun immediately became anxious. ”Young Mistress, His Majesty has gone to Consort Muʼs palace. Does that not mean His Majesty and Consort Mu might... what if Consort Mu conceives the imperial heir first? This...”

”All right, all right.” Yan Ruxue patted her on the head. ”I am going back to my room to rest. Go do what you need to do. But remember, the palace is not like the Yan residence. Do not break the rules. Understood?”

”Yes, Young Mistress...”

Xiao Chun lowered her head, wondering in her heart how her young mistress could be so utterly unworried.

Competing for the emperorʼs favor in the inner palace was a serious matter.

She had read about it in story books. Competing for favor in the inner palace could even come down to a fight to the death and yet her young mistress remained exactly as she always was, as though no matter what happened, nothing was ever truly a great matter in her eyes, always so utterly unhurried and composed.

Yan Ruxue said nothing more, turned, and walked back into her bedchamber and the very instant Yan Ruxue stepped into the room, a formation that blocked all divine sense from probing inward was laid out within the chamber.

When Yan Ruxue turned around, a young girl in a pale green dress was standing before her.

”Elder Sister...” Little Green called out softly, her expression carrying a hint of urgency.

Little Green had followed the procession into the palace the previous day, but had not had a chance to speak with her elder sister alone this entire time, and had very nearly been driven mad with anxiety.

”Whatever it is, say it slowly. Have a cup of tea first.”

Yan Ruxue gently smoothed her skirt and sat down, pouring a cup of tea for Little Green. ”What did the ruler of the Nine-Tailed Kingdom say? Did she agree to our terms?”

About half a year prior, great movements had stirred throughout the Demon Realm. The Nine-Tailed Kingdom in particular had been annexing surrounding smaller kingdoms, showing signs of intent to advance upon the Ten Thousand Laws Realm.

In order to keep the ruler of the Nine-Tailed Kingdom from disrupting her plans and interfering with her wedding, Yan Ruxue had sent Little Green to the Nine-Tailed Kingdom to ensure that it would not stir up any great trouble in the near future.

”That ruler of the Nine-Tailed Kingdom is as unreasonable as ever. She said that whatever she intends to do, she will do, and that no one will influence her decisions.”

Little Green shook her head and let out a sigh.

”Fortunately though, this ruler does not appear to have any intention of attacking the Ten Thousand Laws Realm at present. But ten years from now, there is no telling. After all, she is that old manʼs granddaughter, having inherited her grandfatherʼs will. She even seems to be on the verge of becoming the supreme ruler of the entire Demon Realm.”

”Speaking of which, Elder Sister, what exactly did Elder Brother Xiao do to that ruler of the Nine-Tailed Kingdom in that one lifetime of his? Why does she hate him so deeply and to the very bone? Killing him once was not enough, and she has kept hunting him down all the way to now, refusing to let go across life after life?” Little Green asked her elder sister with puzzlement.

”Who knows?”

Yan Ruxue shook her head, her gaze drifting toward the sky beyond the window.

”The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan is born of love, attains the Dao through love, and how many have died because of love? Among all the words in the world, it is this one word, ʼlove,ʼ that is the most impossible to fathom.”

Yan Ruxue drew her gaze back and continued, ”Since the ruler of the Nine-Tailed Kingdom is unwilling to reach an agreement with us, then let it be. We need only manage our own affairs. As for the Great Wall side of things, we must help where help is needed. Understood?”

”Understood, Elder Sister.”

Little Green answered but Little Greenʼs eyes shifted, and she looked as though she had something more she wanted to say but hesitated to voice.

Yan Ruxue glanced at Little Green and said gently, ”There is nothing between the two of us that needs to be hidden. If you have something to say, say it directly.”

”Elder Sister... when will you be able to tell Elder Brother Xiao the truth and take him away with you? Even if there is still a broken deity above the clouds, beyond the Heaven Ascending Gate, what of it?”
