My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

"We've arrived." Shangguan Yuyang, accompanied by Chen Feng, halted at the entrance of the Gu Mansion.

Why not the imperial palace? Chen Feng wondered.

However, the next moment, he beheld the magnificence of the mansion and instantly felt excited.

"I've heard that Her Majesty the Empress has numerous palaces outside the palace grounds; perhaps this is one of them?"

"Indeed, besides the empress, no one else in the imperial city could possess such a grand residence..." Chen Feng presumed with certainty.

Fortune favors the prepared mind; after waiting for so long, he finally arrived at this moment.

Chen Feng began to feel immensely hopeful.

"Lady Shangguan, how come you have the time to come back?" At this moment, Old Yang, who had just returned from a teahouse outing, approached the entrance.

Seeing Shangguan Yuyang, his face bore a gentle smile.

Shangguan Yuyang had always been a distinguished guest of the young master. As the most prestigious steward in the entire capital, he naturally had to give her ample respect.

"I've returned for some matters, and coincidentally, there are some tasks that I need to trouble you with, Old Yang. Could you assist in accommodating this person in the Gu Mansion?" Shangguan Yuyang politely asked.

"Of course, no problem. Lady Shangguan, please attend to your affairs."

"With me, Old Yang, here, I assure you nothing untoward will occur."

Upon hearing Shangguan Yuyang's request, Old Yang patted his chest and promptly agreed.

It was just arranging for one person; this small matter, he could certainly decide upon.

Shangguan Yuyang nodded and glanced at Chen Feng.

"You stay here for now; I'll be back."

With that, Shangguan Yuyang took out a badge from the Prince Jingyang Mansion, unleashed her martial skills, and flew off towards the direction of the imperial palace.

...

"As heaven corresponds to earth, rain corresponds to wind..."

"Brother—Spirit Fruit!"

"Don't eat the Spirit Fruit for now, Mumu. Come and learn the rhyme song that Daddy specially wrote for you." The empress's gentle voice echoed in the Imperial Garden, full of coaxing and tenderness.

"Rain corresponds to wind, continent corresponds to vast sky..."

Mu Yuyan was earnestly teaching Simu to speak and recognize words.

Simu was exceptionally bright and picked up things very quickly.

But as fast as he learned, he got distracted even faster!

As soon as he started recognizing words, he immediately looked towards Gu Lan. He said "brother" when opening his mouth and "Spirit Fruit" when closing it, hardly stopping...

Seeing that there was no other way, Mu Yuyan had to temporarily keep Gu Lan at a distance from the two.

Even so, Simu could still instantly detect Gu Lan's whereabouts.

He even got excited, thinking that his daddy was playing hide-and-seek with him!

Mu Yuyan: "..."

Gu Lan found himself powerless against his darling daughter's coquetry; when a super cute human cub showers you with affection, especially when it's your own flesh and blood, resistance becomes futile!

Mu Yuyan felt deeply helpless about this.

At this moment, she was starting to hope that the two Masters would come soon to assist Simu.

If only Grand Tutor and Master Zhang didn't insist on needing a few days to craft a perfect schedule for the little princess...

If Gu Lan continued to spoil her like this, Mu Yuyan genuinely feared that the little princess of the Jing Nation might turn into a little demon.

"Prince Jingyang, there's someone outside seeking an audience," a palace maid reported at this moment.

Mu Yuyan didn't say a word but carried Simu towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

In the court, she was the resolute empress, but at home, she was merely Gu Lan's wife.

That was the understanding between them.@@novelbin@@

Gu Lan smiled and waved his hand, signaling the palace maid to bring the visitor in.

"This item seems to be a treasure from the Immortal Realm. I have a vague feeling that it might be related to my return to the Immortal Realm," Shangguan Yuyang glanced lightly in the direction where the empress had departed, softly saying.

"Oh?" Gu Lan chuckled. "Such a precious thing, and the palace lord is willing to share it with me?"

Shangguan Yuyang's expression remained unchanged, and her tone softened a bit.

"But it's just a feeling. Only in the hands of the right person can it truly fulfill its purpose... You have more patience than I do, taking a look might lead to a solution, perhaps."

"Oh, I also snatched an extraordinary item from a fellow in the Demon Realm."

"Destiny's gifts are all unique; it's now in your residence."

"I'm entrusting both the person and the item to you, as a token of gratitude for letting me recuperate peacefully in your mansion for the past half year."

Shangguan Yuyang entered the Imperial Garden, cutting to the chase and directly tossing Chen Feng's mysterious ring to Gu Lan.

The Divine Sky Ring!

As Gu Lan caught the ancient ring engraved with divine patterns, he froze for a full three seconds!

When he first crossed into this world, he had imagined many possible scenarios involving this ring, which he had vehemently avoided at the time, considering it a cursed object...

But he hadn't expected this.

Was it this hasty?

To be casually thrown by Shangguan Yuyang like this... just like that?!

Gu Lan focused slightly, lowering his head to examine the ancient ring.

Indeed, it was the crucial treasure of the original protagonist who roamed the six realms, completely unknown in rank, a cheat item beyond the bounds of the game rules... the Divine Sky Ring!

"Shangguan Yuyang actually obtained the Divine Sky Ring. It seems the person she brought to Gu Mansion is the original main character..." Gu Lan narrowed his eyes slightly, deep in thought.

At the same time, he ran his fingers over the patterns of the Divine Sky Ring, the luminous patterns on it shimmering as if responding to its master's call as if gradually awakening...

"Based on the timeline, that fellow shouldn't have risen yet; his strength might not even match Xiaoqi and the others..."

"You take your time to contemplate; I'll take my leave," Shangguan Yuyang said. "After unlocking the secret of the ring, remember to inform me."

With that said, Shangguan Yuyang paid no heed to Gu Lan's absent-mindedness and briskly turned to leave.

Did she really give it to me? She should have noticed how rare this thing is... Gu Lan shook his head helplessly.

However, ...

Regardless, with the Divine Sky Ring, Shangguan Yuyang had done him a great favor.

What favor for letting her recuperate in his mansion? Compared to such a powerful treasure... it meant nothing!

What a lucrative deal!

Moreover...

Just as Gu Lan laid eyes on the Divine Sky Ring, a sudden plan formed in his mind...

"Husband, what did the palace lord of the Yin God Palace give you as a token of gratitude?"

While Gu Lan was planning, Mu Yuyan appeared by his side, her eyes full of meaning as she looked at the ring in his hand.

Gu Lan found it somewhat hard to withstand her gaze.

"Cough, cough!"

"Darling, please don't misunderstand!"

"This ring is actually a top-tier treasure from the Immortal Realm, the Divine Sky Ring."

Gu Lan coughed twice and began to explain the origin of the Divine Sky Ring.

"Legend has it that there was an unparalleled powerhouse in the Immortal Realm who once lost his beloved in his youth due to an unfortunate incident, and her remnant soul was swept away by chaotic spatial currents."

"To search for the remnant soul of his beloved and see her once more, the powerhouse spared no expense to create this Divine Sky Ring."

"This item, once activated, allows the wearer to travel freely between the six realms and even between various mortal realms, making it an unparalleled treasure in the world."

"The powerhouse, holding the Divine Sky Ring, searched for nine thousand years, traversed the six realms, searched countless mortal realms, yet failed to find the remnant soul of his beloved and ultimately vanished in one of the unknown mortal realms."

[You've fabricated an Immortal Realm legend, Cultivation +1000]

[Obtained Profound Dao Secret Technique: Three Thousand Worlds]

[Obtained Supreme Heavenly Treasure: Soul-Cutting Blade]

[Obtained Sacred Bloodline Elixir x10]

[Destiny +1000+1000......]

[......]

Huh??

He just made up a story to distract his wife's attention, but Destiny unexpectedly increased again!?

Gu Lan, disregarding the rewards he received, immediately chose to check Destiny.

[Destiny: Golden]

[Fate: Defy Heaven, acquire Destiny Boy as servant, pass on Immortal Stage secret technique, unite to eradicate the demonic forces, reach the peak of Emperor Realm...]

Sure enough, after accumulating Destiny for so long, today, with the story of the Divine Sky Ring, he successfully elevated his Destiny to golden!

The main character's things were indeed useful!

He had to scavenge more in the future!

Gu Lan looked at the Divine Sky Ring in his hand, quite satisfied.

Hmm... with a golden Destiny, did he now have the aura of a Destiny Boy?

With the precedent of the Divine Sky Ring, Gu Lan felt confident that his plan could be fully realized.

While Gu Lan received rewards, Mu Yuyan was still immersed in the story, her autumn-water eyes blinking slightly, still enjoying her husband's storytelling as before.

"To traverse the six realms for nine thousand years, just to see the beloved once more..."

"I never expected that, apart from my husband, there could still be such devoted lovers in this world."

Mu Yuyan glanced at Gu Lan, her cherry lips slightly parted, about to speak.

Gu Lan extended a finger and gently pressed it against her thin lips.

"Darling, I'm not the unparalleled powerhouse of the Immortal Realm; I won't let such a thing happen."

"I don't want to search for you for thousands or even tens of thousands of years; I only want to be with you for thousands or even tens of thousands of years."

"Husband..."

Mu Yuyan couldn't resist this, her heart fluttering, her eyes brimming with affection, truly soft and tender.

Seeing her like this, Gu Lan shook his head with a smile and continued to softly speak words of love, "Even if it's for thousands or tens of thousands of years, it's still not enough for me. I want forever, and ever..."

"Yes, we both want forever and ever..."
