Chapter 328: Goddess Feng Ruoxue
Mu Yuyan gazed upon Fengyang City, her heart filled with longing. Despite her days in the Immortal Realm, she never forgot Jing Nation.
Each evening, she and Gu Lan would use the grand Mirrors of the Myriad Realms to observe the affairs of Jing Nation, to see Simu.
The splendid scenery of the Immortal Realm filled her with joy and ignited her ambition as a female emperor.
She eagerly anticipated the day when Jing Nation would shine as brightly as Fengyang Immortal Domain, where everyone would live in peace and prosperity.
"My dear, whatever you do, I stand firm as your strongest support," Gu Lan admired Mu Yuyan.

Mu Yuyan playfully rolled her eyes at him, then tossed a top-grade spirit stone to pay for entry into the city.
As the two entered the city, a slender figure stood atop the city wall, gazing in the direction they departed.
His expression softened as he fixated on one of their silhouettes, unable to tear his gaze away.
"What a beautiful person!"
"Such an unparalleled beauty exists in this world! With just one glance, like a sharp blade, it pierced my heart!"
"Guards!"
"Your subordinate pays respects, my lord."
Clad in armor, the guard approached.
"Locate the inn where these two are staying. Do not disturb them. Once found, make a discreet mark and immediately report back to me."
"Yes, my lord."
After issuing the orders, the lord of Fengyang City smiled, revealing a handsome face resembling a deity. His body trembled slightly, a sign of burgeoning emotions.
"To possess cultivation beyond my discernment, it only increases my curiosity."
"Unfortunately, there is no time today. Next time we meet formally, I will surely leave a lasting impression."
The lord of Fengyang City smirked, his demeanor exuding charm.
Night fell.
Fengyang City was illuminated, resembling daylight. Gu Lan led Mu Yuyan out of the inn's cave dwelling, obtaining a lantern artifact from the inn's front desk.
Flying was restricted within Fengyang City, and lantern artifacts were the only permitted means, limited to a height of ten zhang and following specified routes throughout the city.
"My dear, let's depart," Gu Lan exclaimed, exhilarated as he soared through the main street of Fengyang City with the lantern.
"Wait a moment, husband!"
"What is it?"
"Why aren't you... holding my hand?"
"Ah, my apologies! I forgot to hold your hand, my dear."
Gu Lan laughed heartily, taking the opportunity to hold Mu Yuyan's hand, reveling in her rare display of girlishness as they explored Fengyang City.
Tonight, Fengyang City was different from usual. The city activated its defensive formation, with twelve Immortal Emperors holding swords guarding each direction.
Regardless of where cultivators came from, they felt an unprecedented sense of security, able to roam the city without worry. This was the benefit brought by the top-grade spirit stone.
Initially, many harbored grievances, accusing Fengyang City of being greedy, but now, there was no complaint.
"Look!"
"A marvel of the Immortal Realm!"
"The Milky Way hangs upside down, and the Three Thousand Weak Waters fall from the Ninth Heaven!"
"No wonder Emperor Feng Yang scheduled the Battle of the Century three days later, to witness this spectacle before the battle. Truly delightful!"
"Ridiculous! The Immortal Emperors have lifespans of tens of thousands of years, what spectacle haven't they seen?"
"Hahaha! You, a mere Immortal King, dare to compare yourself with Emperor Feng Yang. Don't embellish yourself!"
In the highest tower of Fengyang City, powerful Immortal Kings humbly admired the spectacle of the Immortal Realm. Beneath such magnificent scenery, they were just ordinary cultivators.
The three thousand weak waters, even Immortal Kings couldn't touch or approach. Perhaps only figures like Emperor Feng Yang had the chance to witness the wonders of the weak waters.
"My dear!" Gu Lan, in a corner of the tavern, downed a glass of exquisite wine infused with spiritual energy, suddenly turning to Mu Yuyan.
"Yes?"
"Amongst the Three Thousand Weak Waters, I only desire a sip."
"Oh, you—"
Mu Yuyan's delicate brows furrowed shyly, her beautiful eyes showing slight reproach. She couldn't tolerate such romantic words.
Nestled in Gu Lan's embrace, she drank the wine he handed to her. Amidst this setting, the Empress felt herself melting away.
"My dear, I'm feeling intoxicated—"
Outside Fengyang City, Feng Clan's Goddess Feng Ruoxue, dressed in white, gracefully flew into the city. Taking a step ahead, she arrived in Fengyang City.
Even a goddess couldn't remain aloof from worldly matters forever. Naturally, she wanted to witness the bustling scene of the Immortal Realm's premier city and observe the people and things different from those of the Immortal Realm.
Feng Ruoxue and Emperor Feng Yang had known each other for a long time, technically... they were peers in age.
This skirmish excited ordinary cultivators, but in her eyes, it was merely a simple exchange of ideas.
It had been a long time since she last visited the Immortal Realm, and she felt it was a good opportunity to relax. Immortal Realm cultivators might not match those of the Immortal Realm, but the scenery was indeed impressive.
The three thousand weak waters in the Milky Way she had seen before lacked warmth, unlike the beauty and allure of the Immortal Realm's landscapes.
"So many years have passed, and it seems that the Immortal Realm has changed a lot," Feng Ruoxue remarked casually as she entered a tavern.
During her time in the Immortal Realm, she enjoyed drinking. Alcohol couldn't intoxicate her; she sought intoxication herself.
In the current Six Realms, only fine wine could provide her with solace.
"What wine would you like, sir?" The waiter was attentive, knowing that customers who wore veils were not simple.
"The best," Feng Ruoxue responded softly, choosing a seat at random.
"As tender as water, as dreamy as a rendezvous, heaven and earth unite today..."
In a corner of the tavern, Gu Lan was still reciting love poems to Mu Yuyan. He had almost exhausted his memory of Qixi poems; he had to make do with what he remembered.
His wife liked this kind of atmosphere, so he made every effort to satisfy her. Only in this way could she fully satisfy him a few hours later. He flirted with his wife wholeheartedly.
Gu Lan didn't notice the white-clad woman passing by, staring at them with a slightly dazed expression.
"What a pure aura, is she from the Lower Realm...?" Feng Ruoxue looked at Gu Lan, her beautiful eyes slightly dazed.
Of course, his appearance could attract ordinary women, but what surprised her more was that she couldn't discern Gu Lan's true cultivation.
She was already halfway into the Divine Realm; there weren't many people in the Immortal Realm who could conceal their cultivation from her, let alone the Lower Realm. Feng Ruoxue's curiosity about Gu Lan increased.
So, she looked at Mu Yuyan nestled in Gu Lan's arms again. With just one glance, her body stiffened abruptly!
"It seems... but why does it look like this?!"
"But this aura is clearly hers..."
Feng Ruoxue only sensed a trace of aura from Mu Yuyan and dared not look at her again. Her breathing became somewhat rapid, and she quickly found a seat to sit down.
Downing a gulp of wine, she felt her mind slightly calmed, then she looked back at the position where Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan were.
This time, Feng Ruoxue only saw the Empress. Countless images and thousands of words flashed through her mind. Fate, or perhaps destiny. She found herself somewhat unable to distinguish between them.
And for a moment, she felt at a loss. When the familiar aura returned before her eyes after waiting for countless ages, she didn't know when she started feeling a bit flustered...
At this moment, a hearty shout came from outside the tavern.
"What a beautiful night, under the flowers and moonlight, our young master invites you all to admire the moon!"
Then, a silvery moonlight suddenly rose into the sky. It merged with the moon in the sky and slowly separated.
"The Twin Moons, another great spectacle of the Immortal Realm!"
"With such a beautiful night, let's make a toast!"
"The Twin Moons, Emperor Feng Yang's renowned treasure, has actually been brought out. Fengyang City has indeed lived up to its name this time!"
