Hearing the childish voice of the little rabbit, Yu Yuan also realized that the current situation was extremely indecent.

His tall figure stood on the ground, his body completely unclothed.

And Chang'e was sitting in a heap holding the Jade Rabbit just in front of him.

The distance between the two was extremely close.

So close that when the tall Chang'e looked up, Yu Yuan could even feel her hair gently brushing against...

"Cough cough, my Daoist robe was shattered..."

Yu Yuan explained, then conveniently took out a spare robe from his Qiankun Ruyi Bag.

As the pale cyan robe embroidered with cloud patterns covered his tall and perfect body, Chang'e's suddenly wide-open eyes finally blinked once and then she abruptly turned her head away, her ears turning bright red.

"Um~"

Chang'e bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes revealing shyness and embarrassment.

Beneath the beaded curtain, her cheeks were dyed with a full blush, seeming uneasy about the violent beating of her own heart.

She had been anxiously waiting in the Qiankun Ruyi Bag, worried that Yu Yuan wouldn't last until reinforcements arrived, but she never expected to encounter such an embarrassing scene upon emerging.

Does he not use Spiritual Treasures to protect his body when in combat?

Even without protective Spiritual Treasures, he should protect himself with mana, shouldn't he? How come his clothes were destroyed?

That's right, this Immortal Yu Yuan seems to specialize in physical cultivation. In battle, he's probably as wild as those from the Witch Clan, not finding it strange to have torn clothes.

But he's much better looking than those brutish, uncultured witches.

Especially that...

"Sister, your heart is beating so fast!"

The childish voice of the Jade Rabbit rang out again, and Chang'e quickly threw her out before floating up herself, trying hard to regain composure.

Her heart as clear as ice, unshaken by the falling sky.

Unchanging amidst countless changes, her spirit serene and her energy calm.

...

As the Clear Heart Technique flowed through her mind, Chang'e quickly regained her composure, but when she looked at Yu Yuan again, the image of his unclothed body flashed across her mind.

Especially the view from below when she looked up...

Damn it... She couldn't shake that image!

Chang'e had to turn away again, silently reciting the Clear Heart Technique to herself.

Her white Immortal Dress, billowing in the wind, was like a layer of mist, or a blossoming lotus, exuding a particularly enchanting charm in the quiet surroundings.

"So, erm..."

Yu Yuan pretended nothing happened, seriously said: "I hope the Immortal doesn't speak of today's events to anyone. I don't want outsiders to know that those few came specifically for me."

When Chang'e heard his words, she finally remembered the dire situation from before, and nervously turned back to speak: "May I ask the Immortal, Taowu and the others..."

"Taowu, Taowu, Mie Meng, all three exploded their Primordial Spirits outside the Taiyin Star, and Chi Ru was brought here by me using the Chaos Bell and has also just self-destructed his Primordial Spirit, completely annihilated..."

Yu Yuan gave her a straightforward summary of the situation, telling her what could be disclosed and what must not be revealed.

Upon hearing that all four Demon Gods had perished, Chang'e's hanging heart finally settled.

She gave Yu Yuan a deep curtsy, respectfully said: "Thank you, Immortal, for risking your safety to rescue me! I will remember this life-saving grace in my heart, and in the future, will bind grass and loop rings to repay this kindness."

Yu Yuan nodded slightly, his expression showing a trace of discomfort.

After all, Chang'e's predicament was actually because of his involvement.

He even had the intention to test Chang'e from the beginning.

Initially, he suspected that she led him to the Taiyin Star as a trap set by those four Demon Gods, but later, seeing Chang'e resolutely self-destructing her Primordial Spirit, he completely believed that she was innocently caught up in the event.

However, since she was unaware of this, he naturally wouldn't bring it up.

"Your Guanghan Palace has been destroyed. I have some experience in crafting palaces, and I have quite a few Treasure Halls in the Qiankun Ruyi Bag to choose from... or I can help you refine a new Guanghan Palace if you wish."

"Thank you for the kind offer! But I was thinking..."

Chang'e hesitated as she gently bit her red lips.

Yu Yuan hated being kept in suspense, frowning, he said: "Just speak straightforwardly if you have something to say."

Urged by him, Chang'e felt even more timid and, after hemming and hawing for a while, still couldn't make up her mind.

At that moment, Yu Yuan's heart stirred slightly, and his gaze drifted to the distance.

In his line of sight, a Green Bird with feathers as lush as jade soared in the sky, a Bright Pearl atop its head shining with a clear light, as beautiful as the starry sky.

Sitting atop the Green Bird was a petite and exquisite Fairy.

Long Ji?

Yu Yuan was somewhat surprised, not understanding why the Princess of Heavenly Court would appear here.

Her determined gaze suggested she had a clear destination in mind.

At this time, the Heavenly Court should be on high alert, conducting a massive search, right?

Why would a Princess of Heavenly Court run here at such a time?

Puzzled, Yu Yuan sent out a thread of Divine Thought, curiously following behind Long Ji to see what she was up to.

The Green Bird, as a Divine Bird of the Feather Clan, was incredibly fast in flight.

In just the blink of an eye, it had already reached a quaint and elegant Heaven Palace above the clouds.

It was a grand Heaven Palace composed of many pavilions and towers.

The gate of the Heaven Palace was tall, guarded by several Heavenly Soldiers and Generals in silver helmets and armor.

Yu Yuan glanced at the signboard above the gate and saw the words "Xiang Huo Lin Palace" written in Ancient Demon Text.

Clearly, this was a Heaven Palace that had survived from the Ancient Demon Court era.

Yu Yuan's curiosity deepened, and seeing as there was Chang'e, an "Ancient Demon God," nearby, he directly asked: "Do you know about Xiang Huo Lin Palace?"

As he spoke, Chang'e, having made up her mind, said: "I intended to earnestly request... uh, Xiang Huo Lin Palace? That's the residence of Immortal Fu Yuan."

"Immortal Fu Yuan?"

Yu Yuan raised an eyebrow, the image of a white-haired old Daoist emerging in his mind.

He had recently seen this person in Yaochi Fairyland.

But besides that, he always felt he had heard this title somewhere else.

Seeing that his attention had shifted elsewhere, Chang'e could only inwardly sigh, collect her thoughts, and said seriously: "Fu Yuan Immortal is a Great God in charge of the marriages of all beings in the Three Realms. His status was extraordinary even during the Ancient Demon Court.

It is said that he was able to manage the marriages of the Three Realms under the guidance of Nuwa Saint, and even the Demon Emperor held him in high regard."

Managing the marriages of the Three Realms?

Then this is truly a Great God!

Wait a minute!

Suddenly, a flash of insight crossed Yu Yuan's mind, and he summoned the Chaos Bell to predict the Heavenly Mechanism.

The small broken bell shone "BlingBling" with five-colored aura and soon a plethora of thoughts burgeoned in his heart.

He also remembered where he had heard the name Fu Yuan Immortal.

That was from the memories of his previous life.

In his past life memories, Long Ji would be demoted to the mortal world during the Flat Peach celebration and ultimately during the Divine Enthronement period, entering into calamity, and under the arrangement of Fu Yuan Immortal, marries her defeated general Hong Jin...

At that time, Yu Yuan was very curious about who this Fu Yuan Immortal really was, that he could even make the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor marry!

Now he thinks about it, such a Great God really does have the power!

But, why is he targeting Long Ji?

These two seem unlikely to have any intersections... Wait, what is Long Ji doing at Xiang Huo Lin Palace at this moment?

At this time, Fu Yuan Immortal should still be in Yaochi Fairyland, right?

Yu Yuan was moved in his heart, it seems that this is the fate that binds the two together!

Alas, indeed, there is a predetermined fate for every little thing.

At the same time, inside the main hall of Xiang Huo Lin Palace, Long Ji looked up at the two thick Divine Trees in the center of the hall, which were intertwined as if they were one, her eyes brimming with excitement.

These tightly connected Divine Trees were said to have once been Innate Spirit Roots and were later refined into an Acquired Merit Spiritual Treasure, known as the Marriage Tree.

This was the Treasure used by Fu Yuan Immortal to manage the marriages of the Three Realms.

Looking at the Marriage Tree, its crown was broad and lush, branches dense and hanging down, tied with red strings.

One end of these red strings was tied to the branches, and the other end was tied to small clay figures underneath the trees.

Each clay figure had one or two red strings, while some had three or four, but not many.

For those with long affinities, the red strings would be longer;

For those with short affinities, the red strings would be shorter.

The positioning of these clay figures was not fixed but constantly changing.

Flickering near and far, mingling and distant.

Some collided with each other and then entwined.

When red lines connect, two clay figures would be entwined together.

They might separate later or collide with a new figure, evolving into three figures intertwined.

However, this situation was the minority.

All this was operated by the Merit Spiritual Treasure Marriage Tree itself without the need for others' intervention.

Long Ji glanced at the clay figures for a while and wasn't sure how to proceed.

Still young, she had come here out of a whim to make trouble for Fu Yuan Immortal but began to ponder as she observed the ever-changing figures.

"If I mess these up, won't it affect other people?"

Long Ji murmured to herself, feeling troubled.

"Right."

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, reminded of something.

"Now that Yu Yuan Immortal's fate between life and death is uncertain, if I check his marriage through the Marriage Tree, then I should be able to know if he is still alive, right?"

The Marriage Tree, being a Merit Spiritual Treasure, could freely observe the marriages of all beings in the Three Realms.

Each clay figure represented a living being.

If anyone perished, the clay figure representing them would also shatter.

Even Daluo Golden Immortals could not escape this.

Of course, no one would dare to interfere with the marriage of those high-level beings.

Being a forthright person, Long Ji immediately reached out with her Divine Thought and communicated with the Marriage Tree to check Yu Yuan's marriage.

The Marriage Tree glowed slightly, and soon many clay figures flew forward, forming an arrangement like stars surrounding the moon.

The distance between the clay figures, based on their closeness and possibility of forming marriage bonds, varied.

She picked up the clay figure in the middle, turned it over to look, and saw "Yu Yuan" written boldly on the bottom of one foot, and on the other foot, there was a line of small text — Jie Sect third-generation Inner Sect Disciple.

"He's really still alive!"

Unsurprisingly, Long Ji laughed out loud, about to leave, but her gaze was again captured by the clay figures.

She saw that the red strings tied to other figures were quite long, the shortest being several inches... however, Yu Yuan's clay figure only had one red string, and it was extremely short, just barely peeking out.

"He..."

Long Ji frowned slightly: "Why is his so short?"

She looked at the clay figures surrounding "Yu Yuan" and clicked her tongue.

"To think Yu Yuan Immortal was born so handsome, yet has so little marriage fortune... How about I help you by connecting the red strings? Previously, you helped the Immortal me, so consider this as repaying you."

With that, Long Ji decisively stretched out her hand and pulled Yu Yuan's red string to a long length, and then wrapped it around the red strings of the surrounding clay figures.

When she entwined the string with smaller-headed clay figures, suddenly many images surfaced in her heart.

Those images were all of a tall man wielding a Mixed Gold Hammer descending from the sky to rescue her from danger.

"Huh?"

A trace of confusion flashed in Long Ji's eyes, and she instinctively turned over the clay figure in her hand, and saw a few small characters inscribed on the base —

Daughter of the Heavenly Emperor!

Long Ji!
