My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

"Yuyan…"

Feng Ruoxue, her face glowing with joy, had just caught sight of the scene before her: Mu Yuyan's fair shoulder and the subtle, lingering sparkle as her and Gu Lan's lips parted. She had never witnessed such a scene in over ten thousand years. It was a feeling she had never experienced before, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

Gu Lan, noticing the intrusion, quickly erected a barrier in front of himself and his wife. Meanwhile, Feng Ruoxue, slightly turning her head, began to communicate via sound transmission.

"I apologize for my untimely arrival… Please, continue as you were. I'm just outside… When you're finished, call my name. I have important matters to discuss."

With that, Feng Ruoxue transformed into a gust of wind and vanished from sight.

Mu Yuyan: "…"

Gu Lan: "???"

What is going on!

Gu Lan felt some anger. He didn't understand why Feng Ruoxue had arrived suddenly or what urgent matter she had, but wasn't it customary to at least knock before entering such a private place? Moreover, the barrier in this cultivation chamber was so poor that even though Feng Ruoxue was a Goddess, she should not have been able to intrude without any warning. A serious review was needed!

Beside him, Mu Yuyan's face was flushed red. She had grown up being attended by palace maids and was accustomed to being seen in various states of undress by women. However, seeing Feng Ruoxue, another woman, had made her feel a strange sense of embarrassment. This embarrassment seemed to be linked to the lingering memories of the Snow Clan Saintess.

After a moment, Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan had dressed and stepped outside the chamber. Feng Ruoxue had already returned to her former Goddess composure, as if nothing had happened. She faced Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan, raising a hand.

"In my search for the Snow Clan ruins, I found this key," she said, revealing a snowflake-shaped crystal key in her palm. "I detected the presence of the Frost Cloud Condensation Sword and Yuyan's aura, so I used a secret technique to locate this chamber."

"I apologize for any rudeness caused by my hasty arrival."

Seeing Feng Ruoxue's calm demeanor and clear eyes, Mu Yuyan's strange feelings dissipated considerably. She felt it was just a minor misunderstanding and nothing serious.

The snowflake key felt familiar to Mu Yuyan, vaguely reminding her of something from the past.

Gu Lan's anger had also subsided, but he couldn't shake the feeling that Feng Ruoxue's gaze toward Mu Yuyan was a bit odd. Why did she call Mu Yuyan "Yuyan"—when did they become so familiar?

"This key opens the Snow Clan ruins that were sealed long ago," Feng Ruoxue continued. "You carry Snow Clan's legacy, so this key might help you access the ruins."

"There may be some remnants of Snow Clan's sacred elders inside, who might know the truth behind the Snow Clan's extinction."

Feng Ruoxue handed the key to Mu Yuyan and said, "Before the Great Competition of All Clans begins, I want you to try to unlock the Snow Clan ruins."

Her expression was serious, her gaze filled with hope.

Mu Yuyan hesitated slightly but then nodded in agreement.

Then she turned to Gu Lan. "Since honey wants to go, I'll naturally accompany you."

Gu Lan smiled. "If we're going to the ruins of the Snow Clan, which has survived to this day and hasn't been destroyed by the current Seven Upper Clans, it indicates that the protective formations there are still quite strong. I'm sure there will be valuable things inside."

As this matter concerned Mu Yuyan's cultivation and development, Gu Lan was more than willing to visit the ruins.

Seeing Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan both deciding to go, Feng Ruoxue immediately took out two Immortal Realm maps and handed one to each of them.

"The Snow Clan ruins are located in the Xiantian World, at this position!" Feng Ruoxue said.

Her map was detailed, covering not only the Xiantian World but the entire Immortal Realm's nine heavens. It even included the divisions of the Seven Upper Clans.

Gu Lan took the map, his face showing delight. The map he had previously purchased was nowhere near the level of this one. With this map, navigating the Immortal Realm would be much more convenient.

After accepting the map and thanking Feng Ruoxue, Gu Lan reinforced the formations around the chamber before leaving. He had originally intended to vacate the chamber due to its poor formations, but given the urgency, he decided to strengthen the existing barriers himself.

As the trio left the chamber, they ran into Qin Huangmo, who was out for supplies.

Stimulated by Gu Lan's display, Qin Huangmo had decided to invest more in his disciples and was preparing to procure cultivation materials in the 33rd Sky of Immortal Realm.

"Brother Gu, Mrs. Gu, where are you headed?"

"Eh?"

"This is… Cloud Clan's senior!"

Qin Huangmo was initially just greeting them, but when he saw Feng Ruoxue behind Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan, he was stunned. The powerful aura Feng Ruoxue radiated and the fact that she was listed in the "Immortal Realm's Notable Figures" book he had read left him in shock. The Cloud Clan Goddess was following Brother Gu, and it was evident they were acquainted, seemingly even friends.

What kind of background does this Earthly Realm Realm Ruler, Brother Gu, have?

How could an Earthly Realm Realm Ruler suddenly befriend a Goddess? Was he possibly the illegitimate child of the Cloud Clan's patriarch left in the mortal realm?

Qin Huangmo's mind suddenly filled with dramatic scenarios.

"Brother Qin, are you alright?"

Gu Lan's question snapped him out of his daze.

"I'm fine, I'm fine."

"Brother Gu, if you have urgent matters, please don't mind me."

Qin Huangmo glanced at Feng Ruoxue, who was completely ignoring him, and quickly turned his attention back to Gu Lan, his tone becoming unusually polite.

Gu Lan, noticing his strange behavior and frequent glances at Feng Ruoxue, understood what was happening.

He didn't say much, summoning the Void Divine Ship to take Mu Yuyan and Feng Ruoxue towards the Snow Clan ruins.

Watching the Void Divine Ship depart, Qin Huangmo's expression turned excited.

"Brother Gu is definitely a major figure. My judgment has proven to be as sharp as ever!"

"Whether we can achieve a good ranking in the Great Competition of All Clans may depend on how well we can align with Brother Gu!"

"I wonder what Brother Gu likes. Next time we meet, I must prepare a substantial gift for him!"
