She had just reached the entrance of the hall when, from a distance, she saw the Peony Fairy walking steadily and gracefully.
In a stunning peony flower dress adorned with gold hairpins and jade ornaments, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
The Peony Fairy saw Yu Yao and a complex look flashed across her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
"Sister Yu Qin, congratulations on your joyous event with the Dark God and the arrival of your cherished child. I regret not being able to arrive in time. Please forgive my tardiness."
The Peony Fairy bowed slightly, her voice soft and melodious.
Regardless of Yu Yao's thoughts, a smile was on her face as she replied, "As a sister, your presence to celebrate is enough to make me happy. By the way, I haven't congratulated you on becoming the new Flower Goddess."
The two engaged in polite banter before proceeding into the palace together.
When Yemeng heard that the Peony Fairy had come, he was slightly surprised, but showed no desire to leave, instead taking his three children out to play.
The Peony Fairy noticed that Yemeng was not there and felt a twinge of disappointment, but did not show it outwardly.
Yu Yao led the Peony Fairy to sit down in the palace, and the immortal servants served tea.
Looking at the Peony Fairy, she smiled and asked, "Sister, your visit today is not just for congratulatory purposes, right? You can just say what's on your mind."
The Peony Fairy sipped a mouthful of tea, put down the cup, and slowly said, "Sister, you are wise. The Peony does have something to ask for advice. Although I have tried my best to manage the Flower World, I still encounter some difficulties in cultivating rare flowers and managing it well."
Yu Yao glanced at the Peony Fairy, in reality, for these questions, the Peony Fairy could directly ask Flower Grandma. There was no need to specially come over to seek advice from herself.
In her heart, she knew this was just an excuse from the Peony Fairy, but she did not point it out. Instead, she patiently shared her own experiences in detail.
Actually, it was the original owner's experiences. She had never managed the Flower World before.
The Peony Fairy listened attentively, occasionally asking some questions.
They talked for a long time, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
After discussing the matters of the Flower World, the Peony Fairy's eyes flashed a hint of hesitation. She wanted to ask about where Nighteng had disappeared to and why he had not appeared yet.
However, such a question was too sensitive and she felt awkward to ask.
The Peony Fairy was in a quandary, her fingers unconsciously clutching the hem of her dress.
She several times wanted to speak but hesitated, her eyes frantically scanning the palace, hoping to catch a glimpse of Nighteng's figure or find some trace of him.
Yu Yao took note of her subtle actions and chuckled coldly in her heart, but she kept her expression neutral and asked, "Sister, you seem to have more to say?"
The Peony Fairy, like a startled deer, shook her head quickly, "No... nothing, Sister. I have already disturbed you for too long; it's time for me to go back."
Yu Yao nodded slightly, "If that's the case, I won't keep my sister here for long. I hope sister can continue to manage the Flower World better and better."
The Peony Fairy rose to her feet, bowed again, "Thank you, sister, for your guidance today. The Peony will certainly not live up to your expectations."
Just as she was about to turn and leave, the door suddenly burst open, and it was Bai Yun who stumbled in, shouting, "Mother, Father took us to see so many fun things and even flowers that glow!"
At this time, the triplets were over two years old and could speak and walk. They often ran around everywhere and could not be separated from people for a moment.
The Peony Fairy stopped in her tracks, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes. She bent slightly and couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Bi Yun, where is your father?"
Her eyes, however, were carefully examining the young Bi Yun in front of her.
She had long heard rumors that the three children of the Dark God possessed extraordinary talent and exceptional potential, born as Golden Daoists. However, why could she not sense any cultivation realm at this moment?
Could it be that the Dark God thought the children were too young to control their power and had sealed it away?
It must be said that the Peony Fairy's suspicions were confirmed.
Bai Yun blinked his big eyes, tilting his head to look at the Peony Fairy, wondering who this beautiful auntie was and why he had never seen her before.
However, he still truthfully answered, "Daddy is behind us. I said I wanted to find Mother, so I ran over here first."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Ming, holding Luofeng and leading Yao Guang, walked in with a low voice.
"Bai Yun, slow down, don't run so fast."
As soon as he stepped into the palace, he saw that the Peony Fairy wasn't leaving yet and furrowed his brow.
The Peony Fairy looked at Ye Ming, the love in her heart no longer able to be concealed. She stared into the eyes of the man before her, "Lord Ye Ming..."
Ye Ming's expression was cold. "Peony Fairy, have you not left yet?"
It was as if he had given her no face at all, directly opening his mouth to send her away.
The Peony Fairy's face turned pale. "I... I'll leave right away."
After saying this, she hurried away, her steps were disorganized, and she accidentally stepped on the hem of her dress.
Yu Yao watched the departing figure of the Peony Fairy, her eyes filled with a complicated emotion.
Ye Ming approached, putting down Luochun and holding Yao Guang's hand, gently stepping forward and encircling Yu Yao's waist, "Don't worry about her. I have no interest in her."
She glanced at the man in front of her and nodded slightly, "I know. It's just that she acts like this... it does cause some trouble."
Ye Ming chuckled and kissed her gently, "What trouble is there? Just don't come again next time. If she doesn't show up, it means she understands. If she keeps coming back, she will eventually understand the meaning."
"That's what I say."
Yu Yao softly smiled, thinking to herself that she was worrying unnecessarily. As long as Ye Ming showed no interest, what was there for her to worry about?
In the following days, the Peony Fairy frequently came to Bialuo Yao Tai, claiming to come for consultation. Initially, Yu Yao would offer a smile. However, later on, she no longer bothered to respond and directly avoided seeing her.
Or, she would simply go out to play with the three children and Ye Ming.
The Peony Fairy had eaten several times of closed doors, and she knew in her heart that the other party did not want to see her, making her feel very awkward.
She originally thought that after becoming the Flower Goddess, Ye Ming would have a different view of her. However, in his eyes, she was still nothing.
From then on, she felt ashamed to disturb them anymore.
Indeed, it was a relief for Yu Yao and Ye Ming.
A thousand years had passed like a white horse galloping by, and it had vanished in an instant.
In this long yet fleeting span of time, Yu Yao and Ye Ming walked together, their days filled with sweetness and warmth, living a very happy life.
Bai Yun, Yao Guang, and Luofeng also grew up gradually, just like healthy seedlings that grow bigger and stronger day by day. They not only became more adorable and smart but also demonstrated an exceptional talent in understanding spells.
Ye Ming watched the children grow up, filled with joy. He began to gradually unseal the power within their bodies and teach them how to master and utilize it.
As dusk fell, above the Bialuo Yao Tai, three streaks of light would cross the sky each night, a sound and movement caused naturally by the three children.
They would either fly around aimlessly or go to the mountain to hunt magical beasts, and Yu Yao didn't bother them. She only sent immortal servants to watch over them.
Occasionally, she would also teach the three children spells.
The three children were smart and quick, understanding things with just a little guidance and learning everything quickly.
Bai Yun and Luofeng are boys, so they are not suitable for Yu Yao's spells. Although Nighting is powerful, his spells are from the evil path, which is not suitable for the children to learn.
Yu Yao and Ye Ming discussed and decided where to send the two boys to learn the Dao better.
In fact, the highest cultivation and power in the heavenly realm belongs to Lord Chu Yuan, followed by Lord Ling Xu, who has withdrawn to Kunlun Mountain.
Although Lord Ling Xu is a godly realm practitioner, his combat prowess is not as high as Lord Chu Yuan. However, he excels in teaching and imparting knowledge, with many disciples under his tutelage.
Many little demons and immortals go to Kunlun Mountain to learn from a master, and he only accepts male disciples, not females.
After discussing with each other, Yu Yao and Ye Ming decided to send Bai Yun and Luofeng to Kunlun Mountain to learn the Dao.
As for Yao Guang, she stayed with them to teach her. Yu Yao is a goddess herself, and her cultivation is also high, more than enough to teach Yao Guang.
Before Yu Yao and Ye Ming could send Bai Yun and Luofeng to Kunlun Mountain for their Daoist studies,
When Chu Yuan finally emerged from his seclusion, the first thing he did was announce that he wanted to open a mountain and take on disciples.
Chu Yuan is the top-ranking being in the heavens, with the strongest cultivation and power. Although he has not taught disciples in the past, his strength and status are there for all to see.
Upon the announcement, countless immortals, gods, and demons sent their children to Yunyuan Palace, hoping that Master Chu Yuan would take a liking to their child and adopt them as a disciple.
The Emperor heard this and pulled his lips, recalling that he had heard recently that the goddess Yu Jie and Lord Ye Ming were worried about where to send their children to learn the Dao.
This quickly turned around, and Lord Chu Yuan was boasting about opening a mountain to take on disciples. If he said it wasn't intentional, he wouldn't believe it himself.
Bieluo Yao Tai.
Yu Yao didn't say anything, Lord Chu Yuan wanted to take on disciples, that was his business. Anyway, she would not let her children serve as his disciples.
Such a matter is rather embarrassing to think about.
Ye Ming heard this and chuckled. He didn't understand what the other party was up to, but coldly snorted and immediately sent Bai Yun and Luofeng to learn from Lord Ling Xu, who was in Kunlun Mountain.
In fact, Lord Ling Xu was overjoyed. He treated the two disciples like treasures and showered them with his knowledge and wisdom, teaching them with all his might.
Upon hearing this, Lord Chu Yuan's face turned dark and heavy. After casually accepting two children with decent potential, he no longer took on any more disciples.
But he had little patience to teach them, and simply gave them divine arts. He told them to go learn by themselves, and only ask him if they had any questions.
