TL: Moonlit
The little golden dragon shrank itself into a small ball and coiled on top of Shen Ye and Ye Ze’s heads.
It stared at its two owners with a sullen expression, even its dragon head radiating a sense of grievance.
Shen Ye: “…”
He finally understood why his husband had repeatedly confirmed if he really wanted to summon the little golden dragon. It was because the little golden dragon had a temper!
Ye Ze quietly held Shen Ye’s hand, silently showing his support.
Shen Ye: “…”
His husband had turned wicked and was secretly enjoying the spectacle!
Shen Ye silently locked eyes with the little golden dragon for a few seconds and apologized sincerely, “Sorry, I need to discuss something important with you…”
As a semi-owner, he found it quite challenging to appease his husband’s spiritual pet.
“Alright, I forgive you.” The little golden dragon raised its dragon head proudly. “What do you need?”
Shen Ye: “…”
This spiritual pet was really adorable. He instantly felt a burst of joy.
Shen Ye quickly explained the situation regarding the celestial energy.
The little golden dragon pondered for a moment with its paws clasped together and said, “There is no celestial energy at the bottom of the pool, and I haven’t sensed any celestial energy in other corners of this world. It’s likely that only that strand of celestial energy leaked out. Just imagine, if there were so much celestial energy leaked into this world, it would surely cause chaos.”
That made sense.
If this world were filled with celestial energy, it would undoubtedly disrupt the natural balance, something the heavenly dao would never allow.
As for why the celestial fairy was hit by the celestial energy, it was probably because she was born at the foot of Qi Lian Mountain and had been living here all along.
Shen Ye breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good to know.” He looked at the little golden dragon and said, “When my divine soul is complete, I’ll come to Qi Lian Mountain to find you.”
The little golden dragon nodded, gazing at Shen Ye for a while before suddenly saying, “Did you call me here just to ask about the celestial energy?”
Shen Ye confidently replied, “Yes.”
The little golden dragon was speechless. “…You can let your husband communicate with me. If he calls me in his mind and asks me questions, I can hear him… That way, I won’t have to run back and forth.”
Shen Ye sensed that something was off and squinted his eyes, staring at the little golden dragon. “You and my husband have a telepathic connection?”
His voice was particularly cold, and his whole body seemed to bristle.
Little golden dragon: “…”
Ye Ze: “…I don’t know.”
Shen Ye hmphed and continued to glare at the little golden dragon, saying, “He’s my husband. How can he have a telepathic connection with you? No, it’s not allowed!”
Even if the little golden dragon was a spiritual pet, even if it was cute, it was still not allowed!
The little golden dragon didn’t quite understand why Shen Ye was getting angry. It said, “What’s wrong with that? He is my master, of course, we can communicate. You are my semi-owner, and as long as you’re willing, you can also communicate with me.”
As soon as it finished speaking, Ye Ze casually interjected, “No need, I’ll communicate with it.”
Shen Ye: “…”
Shen Ye: “???”
Ye Ze held his hand. “Be good.”
Shen Ye pouted. “No, you can’t communicate with it either…”
He was feeling jealous too!
The little golden dragon’s eyes darted back and forth between Shen Ye and Ye Ze, finally understanding what the two owners were fussing about.
It couldn’t help but complain, “Are you even jealous of such trivial matters? How childish!”
Shen Ye: “…”
Ye Ze: “…”
The little golden dragon coldly snorted, “I have a marriage contract. I really like my fiancé. When I go back, I’ll propose to him and marry him!”
“You have a marriage contract? With whom?” Shen Ye was surprised. He had never heard of the Dragon King having a marriage contract with anyone… Could it be that he had blocked out the news while he was focused on cultivating in his previous world?
“It’s with the Phoenix Clan’s chieftain,” the little golden dragon said, its eyes shining brightly when talking about its fiancé.
Its fiancé was also a great beauty…
Shen Ye recalled the appearance of the Phoenix Clan’s chieftain and couldn’t help but look at the little golden dragon sympathetically.
That Phoenix Clan chieftain was several hundred years older than the little golden dragon, incredibly enchanting, and had profound cultivation…
Tsk tsk, the little golden dragon must be oppressed by its fate.
“When you two get married, my husband and I will definitely attend and give you a big gift,” Shen Ye said.
The little golden dragon flicked its tail and shyly said, “Sure.”
Its owner was favored by the heavenly dao, and the purple aura on him was beneficial to cultivators. It also wanted its fiancé to benefit.
With thoughts of its fiancé, the little golden dragon’s mood became cheerful, and it stopped complaining about Ye Ze and Shen Ye. Instead, it took the initiative to provide a solution, saying, “Actually, you can unilaterally sever the connection with me. Just call me when you need me.”
Ye Ze and Shen Ye looked at it simultaneously.
“How can we sever the connection?” This was Ye Ze’s first time forming a contract with a spiritual pet, and he didn’t understand these matters.
“It’s simple. You can sever the connection with a single thought,” the little golden dragon said.
Shen Ye squinted at it suspiciously. “Are you lying?”
Although he hadn’t raised a spiritual pet in his previous world, he still had a general understanding of how communication between owners and spiritual pets worked. He hadn’t heard of using thoughts to communicate.
“I’m not lying. The way my owner and I communicate now is through thoughts. In the future, when my owner has divine consciousness, we can communicate using divine consciousness, which will be more convenient and flexible.”
With divine consciousness, even if it and its owner were in different worlds or different realms, they could still contact each other.
Hearing this, Shen Ye no longer doubted.
The little golden dragon was naive and unlikely to lie.
“In that case, establish a connection with me too. Then I can directly ask you questions when needed, without bothering my husband,” Shen Ye requested.
The little golden dragon had no objections. Shen Ye was also its semi-owner, so it had no reason to be unwilling.
Soon, the connection between Shen Ye and the little golden dragon was established. They both had divine consciousness and communicating through divine consciousness was indeed convenient. They could contact each other whenever they wanted and sever the connection whenever they wanted.
Shen Ye praised the little golden dragon, saying, “Not bad, now you don’t have to come back and forth.”
The little golden dragon chuckled mischievously, and flew away happily, completely forgetting about being oppressed and enslaved.
It was indeed adorable.
As soon as the little golden dragon left, Shen Ye immediately pounced on Ye Ze. “Quickly sever the connection! You’re not allowed to have a telepathic connection with the little golden dragon!”
Ye Ze hugged him by the waist, lifted him onto his lap, and laughed softly, “Are you jealous?”
Shen Ye pouted, “Hmm, I’m very jealous.”
Ye Ze lovingly kissed his cheek. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
Finally, Shen Ye smiled.
The two of them embraced intimately, with Shen Ye resting his head on Ye Ze’s shoulder, lazily saying, “I’ve already regained my immortal energy. It seems that when my divine soul is complete, I should be able to open the passage between the two realms.”
Ye Ze caressed his hair and said, “Don’t be in a rush, take it slowly.”
Shen Ye softly hummed in agreement.
With the nourishment of the purple qi from a man, his divine soul would eventually be complete.
Thinking this way, Shen Ye indeed stopped being anxious.
…
Around nine o’clock at night, the car arrived at the provincial capital airport.
Shen Ye and Ye Ze accompanied Ning Shihua through the security check.
“If there’s anything, you can always reach out to me,” Shen Ye said.
He and Mr. Shi were considered old friends, and Ning Shihua was, after all, the number one actress of Ba Jiao Entertainment. If she needed help, he wouldn’t stand idly by.
Ning Shihua quickly expressed her gratitude.
Shen Ye continued, “Don’t worry about your parents. Before leaving, I cast a spell on them to keep them calm and at least prevent them from falling ill due to anger.”
Ning Shihua was momentarily surprised, then immediately said, “Thank you!”
Throughout the journey, she had been worried about her parents’ health. She was afraid that they would be distressed, and if something happened to them, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
“It’s nothing,” Shen Ye shrugged.
Ning Shihua needed time to consider things, and during this period, he certainly couldn’t let anything happen to her parents.
“This is really thanks to you and Mr. Ye,” Ning Shihua expressed her gratitude repeatedly. “Don’t worry, I will take care of things at home.”
Without Fairy Aunt’s interference, her parents would at least not lock her up.
The conflicts between parents and children ultimately end with either the victory of the parents or the victory of the children, or both sides suffer losses. It depends on who can hold on stronger.
Ning Shihua sighed softly in her heart, hoping that her parents could understand each other.
She couldn’t simply marry a man just to fulfill her parents’ wishes. And she couldn’t quit the entertainment industry either. Not to mention that she had signed a long contract with Ba Jiao Entertainment, and even for the sake of her fans and audience, she couldn’t give up.
After seeing Ning Shihua off, Ye Ze and Shen Ye boarded the flight to the Imperial Capital.
They were seated in first class, and since it was nighttime, everyone was resting, and the surroundings were quiet. Shen Ye leaned on Ye Ze’s shoulder and fell asleep.
When the plane landed in the Imperial Capital, it was already late at night, around eleven o’clock.
Yawning, Shen Ye sleepily followed Ye Ze as he led the way to the underground parking lot.
“Be good, endure a little, you can sleep when we get home,” Ye Ze whispered in his ear, afraid that he might stumble with his eyes half-closed.
Shen Ye yawned again and casually agreed.
But the next second, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked ahead.
Ye Ze asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”
“There’s an old lady ahead, I want to say a few words to her,” Shen Ye pointed to the left. There was indeed an old lady walking around the garage, probably trying to catch a taxi.
Ye Ze didn’t ask what he wanted to say, he just held his hand and walked towards the old lady’s direction.
The old lady came from Qixian and was on the same flight as them. However, she was in the economy class, so they hadn’t crossed paths before. After getting off the plane, she asked the airport staff about the taxi pick-up area and was planning to take a taxi to see her son.
Shen Ye caught up and called out, “Excuse me.”
The old lady was in a state of confusion, as it was her first time at the Imperial Capital Airport and she couldn’t find the taxi pick-up location.
When she saw two handsome young men walking towards her and greeting her, she felt like she had encountered saviors and hurriedly asked, “Excuse me, do you know where to catch a taxi?”
She had a slight Qixian accent, but both Shen Ye and Ye Ze understood.
Shen Ye said, “I’ll have someone take you there in a moment.”
The old lady looked at him in astonishment, confirming that she didn’t know this young man, and quickly said, “You can just show me the way.”
Shen Ye replied, “What I meant was, I’ll have someone take you to the hospital.”
Now the old lady was even more surprised.
Before she could say anything, she noticed several tall and intimidating men in black suits standing behind Shen Ye and Ye Ze.
“…,” the old lady became a little flustered.
Sensing her fear, Shen Ye quickly reassured her, “Please don’t be afraid, we are good people.”
The old lady remained silent but clearly remained somewhat cautious.
“You want to go to the hospital to visit your son, right?” Shen Ye said. “I’m a Taoist priest and can tell fortunes. The blackness in your children’s palace indicates that your son’s life is in danger, is that correct?”
The old lady was taken aback.
She did receive a notification saying that her son had collapsed during work today. She was extremely worried and hastily packed a few things before rushing to the Imperial Capital.
Shen Ye took out a talisman and handed it to the old lady, saying, “Put this talisman under your son’s pillow, and he will wake up tonight. As long as he wakes up, he will be fine.”
The old lady’s son was a cardiovascular surgeon who had a perfect record of ten years without a single failed surgery. He was highly skilled and therefore extremely busy.
These past few days, he had been performing surgeries continuously, sleeping only two hours in three days and three nights. He collapsed during a surgery today.
If the old lady hadn’t encountered Shen Ye today, and if Shen Ye hadn’t seen the blackness in her son’s children’s palace, her son might have never woken up tonight.
Shen Ye handed the talisman to the old lady and whispered, “Your son is a good person. He has saved many lives. After this ordeal, he will live a long and healthy life.”
Today, the old lady met Shen Ye, and that was because her son’s life was not meant to end. They say that after surviving a great calamity, there will be great fortune. Her son would have a safe and prosperous future, and he would save more patients and do more good deeds.
The old lady initially didn’t take Shen Ye’s words to heart, mainly because Shen Ye was too young and didn’t look like a Taoist priest.
But when Shen Ye mentioned her son’s collapse and handed her the talisman, for some unknown reason, she found Shen Ye very trustworthy.
She held the talisman, choked with emotion, and said, “…Thank you.”
Shen Ye spoke in a gentle voice, “I’ll have someone take you to the hospital right away.”
Saying that, he turned to look at Ye Ze.
Ye Ze patted Shen Ye’s head and instructed the two bodyguards to escort the old lady.
The old lady took a few steps but turned back, saying, “Young man, I still don’t know your name…”
If her son really woke up today, if he was truly out of danger, she would definitely repay this young man…
Having lived for so many years, she had gained some insight into life. When she came to the Imperial Capital this time, she had been uncertain in her heart. She had a feeling that she might permanently lose her son… On the plane just now, she had been restless, feeling a tightness in her chest. When she got off the plane and looked for a taxi, she was disoriented because she was so worried about her son and because… she had a premonition about her son.
But she encountered this young man!
This young man gave her a talisman, and all the grievances in her heart seemed to disappear instantly. She had a feeling that her son would definitely wake up and be fine!
Although she was a rural old lady, she knew about repaying kindness.
When her son woke up, she would definitely express her gratitude to this young master.
Shen Ye waved his hand and said, “It’s just a small matter. You don’t need to worry about it. Goodbye.”
He pulled Ye Ze and walked towards the car.
The old lady watched Shen Ye and Ye Ze’s figures, her eyes turning red, and she didn’t move for a long time.
She secretly thought that she would ask the bodyguards later for the young master’s name and address. She must express her gratitude properly.
Meanwhile, Shen Ye and Ye Ze got into the car and continued to yawn. “I’m so tired, Uncle. Hold me quickly, I want to take a nap.”
Ye Ze indulgently glanced at him, cradling him in his lap and gently stroking his hair.
“Did I forget to tell you that the golden aura of merit on your body has become more prominent?” Ye Ze kissed the forehead of the person in his arms and said softly.
Shen Ye was surprised and instantly felt awake, staring at the man with wide eyes. “…Really?”
Ye Ze nodded lightly.
Shen Ye tilted his head, pondering, “What did I do to increase my merit?”
“When you asked me to check if you had a celestial aura, I saw that the merit on your body had become even more substantial,” Ye Ze held his hand and said softly, “You saved the woman and child who were abducted by Dahe villagers, you freed the girls in the town from the control of the fairy aunt, and just now you helped the old lady’s son, who is a doctor and can save many lives… These are all great deeds, so it’s normal for your merit to increase.”
Rarely hearing such a long speech from a man, and it actually made sense.
Shen Ye couldn’t help but smile and hugged the man’s waist, saying, “It seems I need to do more good deeds.”
Ye Ze cupped his face and kissed him. “My little one is the best.”
Shen Ye felt sweet in his heart. “Then kiss me again.”
Ye Ze chuckled softly and kissed him again.
When they returned to the old mansion, it was already past midnight, and everyone in the family was asleep. They didn’t want to disturb them, so they quietly returned to the courtyard.
“Uncle, I’m not sleepy at all now. What should we do?” As soon as they entered the house, Shen Ye pushed Ye Ze against the door and looked at him with a mischievous smile.
Ye Ze received the signal and couldn’t help but laugh.
He pinched the child’s face and lifted him horizontally, walking towards the bathroom. “Then let’s do some exercise.”
The next morning, when the two appeared in the living room, the family members were taken aback.
“When did you come back?” Xu Sisi was astonished.
Shen Ye and Ye Ze hadn’t been in contact much during these few days they were away. They only reported their safety on WeChat. Xu Sisi only knew yesterday evening that Shen Ye and Ye Ze should be done with their business and would probably return to the Imperial Capital today, but she didn’t expect to see them after just one night’s sleep.
“We came back in the middle of the night, and you were all asleep, so we didn’t want to wake you up,” Shen Ye said with a smile.
Grandpa Ye did know that they had returned in the middle of the night. As the head of the family, he couldn’t be kept in the dark about anything, and the servants had already informed him early in the morning about Ye Ze and Shen Ye’s return.
“You must be tired from traveling at night. Rest well today,” Grandpa Ye said.
In his heart, he was still thinking about seeking revenge on the old Taoist priest. It was a sore spot for him, an unhealed wound. But he didn’t immediately ask Shen Ye and Ye Ze about it. He knew well about Shen Ye’s abilities, and he knew that this time, Shen Ye and Ye Ze must have taken their revenge. Therefore, he wasn’t too anxious.
Shen Ye and Ye Ze exchanged glances.
Ye Ze said, “Grandpa, let’s go to the study.”
“Don’t you want to rest?” Grandpa Ye was surprised.
Shen Ye grinned and said, “We’re feeling refreshed.”
After returning home last night, they had been noisy for half the night and didn’t fall asleep until dawn.
But they were both cultivators, and their fatigue didn’t have much effect.
The two of them accompanied Grandpa Ye to the study.
Shen Ye explained his plan, “I brought the old Taoist priest back. I plan to imprison him for ten years and let him endure car accidents, the Knife Mountain, the Sea of Fire, and the boiling oil pot day and night in the array I set up… After ten years, I’ll let his soul completely dissipate. If you want to personally taste the feeling of taking revenge, I can release his soul, and you can stab him with a knife as many times as you want.”
That old Taoist priest had instructed his two disciples to kill Ye Ze’s parents and his uncle and aunt. He intentionally provoked Ye Ze’s father’s brother to go against his own brother… The upheaval ten years ago was a permanent pain in Grandpa Ye’s heart.
After listening to Shen Ye’s words, Grandpa Ye fell silent for a moment and said, “Then do it according to your plan.” After a pause, he added, “I won’t personally take action.”
He didn’t want to see the old Taoist priest. Whenever the old Taoist priest was mentioned, he would be reminded of his two sons and two daughters-in-law… Those memories were too painful, and he didn’t want to experience the pain of losing a child again.
Shen Ye could also sense Grandpa Ye’s thoughts and didn’t insist.
He stepped forward and held Grandpa Ye’s arm, smiling as he said, “The grudge of the Ye family has been avenged, and let me tell you, Dad, Mom, Uncle, and Aunt have already been reincarnated. They were not supposed to die early, so the underworld compensated them and granted them nine lives of wealth and prosperity. Now, can you feel at ease? You can live a happy life from now on, alright?”
Upon hearing that his sons and daughters-in-law were not meant to die early, a somber expression appeared on Grandpa Ye’s face. But upon hearing that they had been reincarnated and granted nine lives of wealth and prosperity, he felt relieved.
Everyone has their own destiny, and if his sons and daughters-in-law have found a good destination, that is enough.
“Good child, you are the lucky star of our Ye family. Thanks to you, the great grudge of the Ye family has been resolved,” Grandpa Ye patted Shen Ye’s hand and sincerely said, “Xiao Ze is also happy and content because of your presence.”
Shen Ye scratched his face and grinned, “Grandpa, you don’t have to praise me so much. I might get arrogant.”
Grandpa Ye laughed, “You are deserving of praise.”
Shen Ye nudged Ye Ze with his elbow, “Husband, did you hear that?”
Ye Ze’s lips curled up into a joyful smile as he walked over and pinched Shen Ye’s face. “Mmm, you are amazing.”
From then on, the grudge of the Ye family from ten years ago was completely resolved.
Grandpa Ye was in a good mood and continued to praise Shen Ye.
Shen Ye was feeling a little inflated, and as he walked out of the study, he held his head up high, full of pride.
Ye Ze found it amusing but also thought that Shen Ye looked particularly adorable like this.
Shen Shimu received news of their return and immediately rushed over to the Ye family.
When he saw the two of them, he greeted them, “You finally came back. You have to help me serve the guests at the wedding banquet the day after tomorrow, and you’re not allowed to refuse!”
From the perspective of the Shen family, the Ye family had a superior status. If Ye Ze and Shen Ye helped serve the guests, it would bring great honor to the Shen family. From Shen Shimu’s perspective, Ye Ze was his childhood friend, so it was only natural for him to help with serving the guests. When Ye Ze and Shen Ye got married, he would also help out.
Ye Ze and Shen Ye naturally had no objections.
“Sure, just prepare the red envelope for us,” Shen Ye said.
Shen Shimu replied, “Shouldn’t it be you giving the red envelope since it’s my wedding?”
Shen Ye glanced at him, “But we’re helping you serve the guests, shouldn’t you give us compensation for our hard work?”
“Fine, I’ll give it,” Shen Shimu didn’t dwell on the matter of the red envelope. Nobody was lacking money, so it was just said in jest.
However, there was one thing he had to discuss with Ye Ze.
“Big Brother, give Zong Yiming a few days off, I want to go on a honeymoon with him.”
Before Ye Ze could even respond, Shen Ye exploded, “You haven’t married yet, why go on a honeymoon! I haven’t even gone with my husband after getting our marriage certificate!”
Shen Shimu was speechless and said, “Then let’s go together.”
Shen Ye seriously considered this proposal and shook his head, “I don’t feel like moving.”
Shen Shimu gritted his teeth, “Are you deliberately picking a fight?”
Xu Sisi chimed in, “Xiao Ye, you’re in the wrong here. You didn’t go on a honeymoon, but you’re stopping others from going. That’s a bit too much.”
Shen Ye said, “…I was just joking.”
He didn’t have any other intentions, he just felt a bit unhappy seeing Shen Shimu smiling so brightly.
Hmph, who doesn’t have a partner, who doesn’t have a husband!
It was just a marriage banquet, he wasn’t jealous at all…
Shen Shimu clicked his tongue and turned to Ye Ze, “Big Brother, aren’t you going to comfort him?”
Ye Ze gently held Shen Ye’s hand, and with a leisurely tone, he said, “Oh, I refuse to give Zong Yiming time off.” Then he purposely lowered his head and asked Shen Ye, “Are you happy?”
Shen Ye nodded happily, grinning from ear to ear. “Mmm, very happy.”
Shen Shimu sighed, “…”
