In the days that followed, the Chuxuan Shen Jun continued to seclude himself in contemplation and penitence, seemingly isolating himself from the world.
He knew that the fate between him and Yuji had come to an end, and those memories could only be deeply buried in his heart.
But whenever the night deepens and people are still, he would always recall the past of the two, feeling regretful in his heart.
Bielu Yao Tai.
After the full moon banquet, life returned to normal.
Yuyao also came out of the postpartum period, looking radiant and healthy, with her figure and complexion recovered to an excellent condition. Her face was flushed, and she looked as beautiful as ever, without any signs of a woman who had given birth.
She was sitting by the cradle, gently watching the three children.
Biyun lay in the cradle, waving her tiny fists and making coo-coo sounds with her mouth.
Yao Guang's eyes shone brightly, and she looked curiously around at everything.
Luofeng was quietly sleeping, her small face flushed with adorable color.
Yemeng slowly approached, sat beside Yu Yao, gently embracing her waist, and gazed at the children with an affectionate look in his eyes.
"Are they still well? Did they disturb you?"
He smiled and asked in a low voice.
Yu Yao turned her head to look at him, smiling softly, "The children are quite well-behaved. It's just that they are still too young and sometimes soil their diapers. I need to keep an eye on them."
She didn't have the intention to express disgust, as these were her own children, how could she possibly be disgusted? It was just a casual remark.
Yeming heard this and chuckled, affectionately saying, "Let others take care of these things. Why do you have to do it yourself?"
"Although this is said, but their own children, always take care of oneself better."
She smiled lightly as she spoke, and reached out to pick up a rattle from the edge of the cradle to amuse the three children, who reached out and grasped at it with cooing sounds.
In the celestial realm, the Lingxiao Palace, the Heavenly Emperor sat proudly on the dragon chair, gazing down at the numerous celestial beings who had descended to the mortal realm.
He recalled when Sheng Nu Yu Ji resigned her position in the Flower World, and he couldn't help but feel a bit of sorrow.
But no matter how much he regrets, Yu Ji is now living in seclusion with the evil deity on the Bielu Yao Tai, and they have jointly brought up three children. It's likely she has no intention of managing the Flower World anymore.
"Cloud Wave Immortal."
The Heavenly Emperor's gaze fell on Cloud Wave Immortal, and he asked, "How is the matter of selecting the new flower realm sovereign from the original plan you had? Is it going well?"
Upon hearing the Heavenly Emperor's words, the celestial beings present were somewhat surprised but quickly accepted the situation.
Yu Ji, the celestial maiden, is now residing in Bielu Yao Tai and the man is Yeming, the evil deity. It is indeed not suitable for her to continue managing the Flower World.
Thus, selecting a suitable candidate for the Flower World's sovereign is a necessary matter.
Cloud Wave Immortal stepped forward and answered respectfully, "Your Majesty, my lord has carefully screened and believes that the Peony Immortal is the most suitable candidate among the current candidates. Whether it be cultivation, moral character, or other aspects, she is the best."
In fact, the Peach Blossom Immortal was also quite suitable, but considering that the Peony is the first among all flowers, when compared, the Peony Immortal naturally took the upper hand.
The Peach Blossom Immortal could never have imagined that she would be disqualified in such a peculiar way simply because of her inherent issue.
Upon hearing Cloud Wave Immortal mention the Peony Immortal, the celestial beings present couldn't help but think of her in their minds.
Even though she is not as noble in origin as Sheng Nu Yu Ji and her cultivation is somewhat inferior, when compared to the numerous female celestial beings in the Flower World, she is indeed the most suitable candidate.
The Heavenly Emperor nodded slightly, "The Peony Immortal... she is indeed a good choice. Send for her."
In no time, the Peony Immortal gracefully stepped into the Lingxiao Palace.
She wore a splendid peony-colored gown, with the hem like blossoming petals radiantly, the peony hair accessories on her head gently swaying with her steps, emitting a faint glow.
As she walked to the center of the hall, she bowed gracefully, "Peony pays homage to the Heavenly Emperor."
The Heavenly Emperor looked at her, his expression stern but with a touch of gentleness, "Peony Immortal, as Yu Ji, the celestial maiden, has retreated to Bielu Yao Tai and the man is Yeming, the evil deity, it is imperative that the Flower World have a ruler. After consultation with the celestial beings, it has been decided that you are the most suitable candidate. Are you willing to take on this responsibility?"
The Peony Immortal was not surprised, knowing that this position would inevitably be hers since the moment Sheng Nu Yu Ji retreated to Bielu Yao Tai.
Although she was overjoyed in her heart, her expression remained dignified. "Peony will give it her all, not to disappoint the Heavenly Emperor and the celestial beings."
"Very well, then, from now on, you are the ruler of the Flower World. Take care of the various matters of the Flower World."
The Heavenly Emperor said.
"Peony accepts the command."
The Peony Immortal bowed again in gratitude.
Since then, the Peony Immortal has become the new ruler of the Flower World, taking over the responsibility of governing all the flowers.
Upon hearing that she had been disqualified, the Peach Blossom Immortal became so angry that she stewed in her own palace for several days.
She couldn't understand why, despite having nothing but advantages over the Peony Immortal in all aspects, she was disqualified just because she was a peach blossom and not as noble as the peony. It was so unfair.
How could she not be upset in her heart?
Feeling this anger, she decided to descend to the mortal realm for some cultivation and experience.
Outside the window, Yu Yao leaned against it and looked out at the fluctuating clouds. Her heart was filled with a mix of emotions.
Initially, the Peony Immortal fell in love with Yeming at first sight. She was jealous, so she had the Peony Immortal banished far away.
Now, upon hearing that the Peony Immortal had become the new ruler of the Flower World, she felt surprised but also somewhat expected.
But there are still some regrets in her heart.
"Yao'er, what are you thinking about again?"
Yeming's voice came from behind, laced with a touch of tenderness and affection.
Yu Yao gently smiled, turned and leaned against his chest, softly saying, "I was thinking about the Peony Immortal. She has become the new ruler of the Flower World. What do you think?"
Yeming was slightly taken aback, gently lifting her head, he looked at her helplessly with a smile and a laugh, "Yao'er, your envy is not just a little bit. From the beginning to the end, I have never given her a proper look. Just because she had an extra glance at me and had feelings for me then. You still hold this grudge until now, even now you are still trying to keep me from being attracted to her? Hmm~"
As he spoke, his voice trailed off with a lingering tone, stretching out long and very charming.
Yu Yao's face turned a slight pink, scolding, "Who is jealous? I was just lamenting the changes in the world. When I was the ruler of the Flower World, she was just an ordinary celestial being. Now that I have retired, she has become the ruler of the Flower World. This destiny is truly remarkable."
Yeming's lips curled into a smile, his eyes filled with love: "No matter who is the ruler of the Flower World, in my eyes, you will always be my Yao'er, the most special being in this world. As for the Peony Immortal, becoming the ruler of the Flower World has nothing to do with me."
She listened happily and leaned against his chest again, not mentioning the Peony Immortal, and instead talked about something else.
On this side, in the Flower World.
Over the years, the Peony Immortal had never let go of her feelings for Yeming the evil deity, and she had fantasized countless times about being able to stand beside him.
Initially, she was just a small immortal and had no extravagant expectations. But now, as the ruler of the Flower World, that buried emotion deep within her heart began to stir again.
But then, thinking of the three children that both Yeming the evil deity and Sheng Nu Yu Ji have, she felt desolate once more.
After thinking about it repeatedly, she couldn't resist going to Bielu Yao Tai to see for herself.
She wanted to go and see him, she missed him too much.
The Peony Immortal knew that this was not good, but she couldn't help herself.
Secondly, as the new ruler of the Flower World, she indeed has many things to ask for advice from Sheng Nu Yu Ji, the celestial maiden.
One day, Yu Yao was wearing a simple dress, her long hair cascading down like a waterfall, playing with the three children in the room.
Suddenly, a celestial attendant reported, "Immortal Yu, the Peony Immortal has arrived."
Yu Yao was slightly stunned. She had just mentioned the Peony Immortal to Yeming a few days ago, and now she was here.
She didn't know the Peony Immortal's intention, hesitated for a while, and told the people beside her to look after the three children. She then tidied up and got up to meet her.
