Chapter 22 Later, they returned to the prince's mansion. After the battle where Xingyi went north to Zhao ended with the ringing of the retreat gong, the entire nation settled into peace—a scene of tranquility and prosperity. The young emperor, having completed the three proverbial fires of a new official, successfully overthrew the Empress Dowager who had ruled from behind the curtain, and from then on wielded sole power. At the same time, a purple star emerged among the newly selected imperial…-

Chapter 23 After that conversation with Little Phoenix about "who pursued whom first," Xingyi took it to heart. From then on, he kept thinking—if he really had to take the initiative to pursue someone, how should he go about it? He was someone almost indifferent when it came to matters of romance. He visited Little Phoenix a few times in a businesslike manner. Hearing that he wanted to go out and play, he took him out. When Little Phoenix sprained his ankle, he had him rest properly in his own…

Chapter 25 Kissing—they did this often in their previous life, and it seemed like the most ordinary thing. Because Little Phoenix was uninhibited, he was always the one who initiated kisses, asked for hugs, or sidled up to Xingyi, wanting to play with him. When Xingyi was busy and couldn't spare him any attention, he would turn back and give him a kiss, as a sort of reward. Sometimes Little Phoenix would run off to play elsewhere, go find books to read on his own, or paint and play the qin. When he…

Chapter 26 Little Phoenix was actually quite clever, learned things quickly, and understood social conventions. Ever since marrying him, Xingyi had often pondered this question. Most people he had encountered were either worldly-wise but stodgy and pedantic, or lacking in worldliness and dull-witted. But his little Fenghuang seemed to be an anomaly—intelligent, a quick learner, knowing what could and couldn't be done, and his perspective wasn't as narrow as children from common families. He…

Chapter 27 The marriage customs of the Miao village were somewhat different from those in Hanzhong. The place they had come to wasn't truly Miao territory in the strict sense, but rather the southwestern riverside area where three rivers met the sea—a boundary region inhabited by Qiang people, Tujia people, and Miao people. The marriage customs had been passed down here for hundreds of years, with some details changing again and again, though the general process remained similar. Their "yagou"…

Chapter 28 After returning from the Miao village, they resumed their previous life. Xingyi had previously led troops to guard Jiangling, this military stronghold, and after half a year, these duties had been completely taken over by the head of the Xie family. Xingyi supervised everything every ten days or half a month, and after confirming that everything in Jiangling was operating normally, he could finally completely let go. The official seal and tiger tally had actually always been in the hands…

Chapter 29 For now, Xingyi didn't tell Little Phoenix about his plan to move away from Jiangling. He felt that it wouldn't be too late to tell him once everything was settled. Little Phoenix thought everything about Jiangling was fine, but this place held memories he disliked, and it was far too quiet. He loved all things bustling, jubilant, lively, and prosperous. Once Xingyi had taken care of everything, he could follow his beloved husband elsewhere and start a brand new life—completely casting…

Chapter 30 They had never discussed the topic of life, old age, illness, and death during their time in the mortal realm. Xingyi frequently went to the battlefield. Even after marrying Little Phoenix, he went on two campaigns—once the day after their wedding, and another time when he took Little Phoenix on a trip to Jiangnan. Little Phoenix had made his life-protecting pearl into a necklace and given it to him, and Xingyi had worn it ever since. Though Little Phoenix never said anything, Xingyi…

Chapter 8 After the court session dismissed, everyone withdrew, except for Phoenix Ming Zun alone, who remained seated in his place without moving, only slowly sipping his tea. This Ming Zun could be considered the youngest Zun Shang in Fan Tian. Aside from the recently ascended Wuxin Ming Wang who had hired the little phoenix to deliver messages, Phoenix Ming Zun had always been the most beloved by the younger generation, because despite his deep cultivation, his temperament was easygoing, and his…

Chapter 9 Both Xingyi and the little phoenix froze for a moment. The little phoenix was adorable, and since he could never transform into human form, remaining a round, plump little bird, though it would invite mockery if he went out, he was still well cared for by everyone in Fan Tian. Wuxin Ming King kept raising the little phoenix's salary again and again. The guardian who tended the five trees and six flowers before Buddha built nest after nest for him, and even allowed the little phoenix to hop…
