Xu Lai rambled on with his story.
Ruan Tang listened intently at first, but she grew increasingly drowsy and soon fell fast asleep in Xu Lai's arms.
Under the moonlight, Xu Lai gently stroked Ruan Tang's hair, his eyes brimming with love. "The peach grove has no fairy, but I have one right here by my side."
Xu Lai leaned down and kissed Ruan Tang on the forehead.
"The Supreme Emperor," a divine sense flickered. It was Divine General Taotie, who was not near Mount Haitang.
Taotie sounded somewhat uneasy. "Princess Yiyi has left Earth. Should I follow and protect her?"
"No need," Xu Lai replied calmly. "You focus on what you're doing."
Whether it was Ruan Lan, Qian Xiao, or even his and Ruan Tang's own daughter, Xu Yiyi, they all needed to be tempered by the trials of life and death. Chang'an City was a very suitable place for that, especially today's Chang'an City, which was destined to be anything but peaceful.
