Since that's the case, let's call off the engagement.

Since Ye Hua doesn't know her true identity yet, proposing to annul the engagement now would greatly increase her chances of success.

So Bai Qian acted swiftly, first sending a message to her parents, earnestly urging them to return quickly to discuss the annulment of the engagement.

After that, she rushed to the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest to ask Zheyan for help.

Tang Yu saw Bai Qian approaching from afar and immediately guessed what she was thinking.

However, Bai Qian did not immediately seek help from Zhe Yan, but instead turned her attention to Tang Yu.

"You once researched a drug that would induce a deep sleep and cause dreams of happy memories. Is that drug still available?"

Tang Yu was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Zhe Yan with a face full of doubt: "I've even researched this kind of medicine?"

Zheyan chuckled helplessly.

"These things should be kept in your own space."

So, Tang Yu calmed down and began to communicate with Xiao Qi in her mind.

At the same time, Bai Qian turned around and discussed with Zhe Yan how to quickly annul the engagement.

A few days later, Zheyan accompanied Bai Qian's father to the Heavenly Palace.

Bai Qian stayed in the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest and drank with Tang Yu.

"Should we break off the engagement first and then seek revenge?"

When Tang Yu asked this question, Bai Qian nodded in response.

"If I retrieve my eyes prematurely, my identity might be discovered by the Celestials, so I should be patient and deal with something more important first."

Actually, apart from the intense emotions she felt when she first recalled that humiliating and painful memory, after these past few days of calming down, Bai Qian felt that she no longer cared much about it.

What she misses most are the days at Kunlun Mountain; romantic love isn't really that important to her.

The reason might be that she has experienced several romantic relationships over the years, which has made her more open-minded.

Tang Yu took out a medicine bottle, a drug that could put people into a deep sleep and into a happy dream.

Consider this my gift to you for breaking off our engagement.

Bai Qian smiled as she took the medicine bottle, then asked a question that had been troubling her as well.

“I don’t dislike Ali, but I don’t want to bring Ali into my life. Am I being too cold-hearted?”

Mothers all over the world seem to care deeply for their children, but I feel a little strange about myself.

This question troubled Tang Yu, and she asked Xiao Qi in her mind, "Have I ever had a child?"

"Yes, I have." Hearing Xiaoqi's answer, Tang Yu asked again, "Then would I like the child very much and care about him a lot?"

Xiaoqi's answer was rather strange.

"Humans are inherently incapable of fairness. Even with their own children, if there are too many, comparisons will inevitably arise."

"Your gut feeling has never led you to want children; do I really need to tell you that?"

So, Tang Yu answered Bai Qian's question based on her intuition, and it was probably only she who could answer it.

"In fact, you have already abandoned this child once, ever since you chose to forget your memories, so your affection for him was never very strong to begin with."

As for whether this approach is right or wrong? To me, it's none of my business, and it's none of the business of most living beings in the world either.

Only A-Li will probably be quite saddened and concerned, and of course, Crown Prince Ye Hua will likely care about this matter as well.

So don't have any doubts. You may be a bit indifferent, but whether you're a human or a deity, since you have emotions and desires, you'll definitely care about things you like. You can only choose to give up or keep what you want.

If you feel guilty and regretful, then make it up to the child. If you don't care, then be prepared for the child to resent and hate you in the future.

You can't be indifferent to him and yet expect him to love and respect you.

Bai Qian listened quietly to Tang Yu's words and fell into deep thought. After a long while, she slowly raised her head, the confusion in her eyes fading away, replaced by a sense of relief.

"You're right, I really should think it over carefully and make a decision I won't regret."

She gently shook the medicine bottle in her hand, a slight smile playing on her lips. "But first, thank you for this medicine. Maybe I can find some comfort in my dreams."

By the time Zheyan returned from the Heavenly Palace, Bai Qian had already returned to the Fox Cave to meet her parents.

The family should have their own ideas about what to do next.

Tang Yu had no interest in getting involved; she was just bored, so she started urging Zhe Yan to join in.

"I don't want to sleep, nor do I want to eat, drink, or have fun. What I want right now is to fight a few battles. Can you find me some secret realms to explore?"

Tang Yu's eyes gleamed with eager anticipation, her excitement seemingly igniting the very air around her.

Zheyan smiled helplessly, then summoned his mount.

The mount radiated a strange light, looking majestic and awe-inspiring. It let out a neigh, as if responding to its master's call.

Zheyan leaped lightly and landed steadily on the back of his mount. He then reached out his hand to Tang Yu and said gently, "Come on up."

Tang Yu's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, she grabbed Zhe Yan's hand, used the momentum to leap up, and sat steadily behind Zhe Yan.

She wrapped her arms around Zheyan's waist, leaned forward slightly, and urged impatiently, "Hurry up, hurry up!"

Zheyan lightly patted his mount, and the mount flew away into the distance like an arrow released from a bow.

The wind whistled past her ears, and Tang Yu's hair danced wildly. Zhe Yan turned his head and teased Tang Yu.

"Do you intend to kill all the demons and monsters of the four seas and eight wastelands?"

Tang Yu smiled, her eyes crinkling.

"No, no, this is clearly a matter of mutual consent. They wanted to eat me, so naturally I wanted to fight back. Even if I lost, it's a matter of accepting the consequences. Don't talk nonsense about me."

Zheyan chuckled. That's just how his wife is—quirky, mischievous, and full of adventurous spirit. What else could he do?

We can only indulge her.

Chapter 14 Three Lives Three Worlds 14

In the secret realm, Tang Yu and Zhe Yan explored freely, outwitting and outfighting various rare and exotic beasts, and gaining countless wonderful experiences.

Time flows by, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, Tang Yu stretched, a hint of anticipation for the new journey on his face, and turned to Zhe Yan, making a suggestion.

"We've been in this secret realm for too long. Why don't we change our mood and go travel around the human world?"

Zheyan smiled and nodded, his eyes full of affection, and replied, "Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking."

Over the years, the two often traveled to the human world, and Tang Yu had become very familiar with everything there.

Every time she stepped into the human world, it felt like returning to her second home, so her trip with Zheyan was naturally a breeze.

Since immortals cannot arbitrarily interfere with the fates of mortals, the two of them indulged in the pleasures of eating, drinking, and having fun. They would only observe the rise and fall of dynasties in the mortal world from afar and would never get involved.

Upon entering the human world this time, I looked around and saw that the entire world had once again fallen into division, with numerous small countries standing side by side and fighting each other.

The two tacitly pretended to be a merchant couple, leisurely traveling and playing between countries.

On this day, they finally arrived at the capital of the Song Dynasty.

This capital city is bustling and lively, with people coming and going in the streets and alleys, and the sounds of vendors hawking their wares and laughter mingling together.

Tang Yu strolled along the streets of the capital, took a deep breath, and savored the atmosphere of everyday life, a contented expression on her face.

Suddenly, she frowned, her eyes sharpening instantly as she keenly sensed something amiss.

She frowned slightly, turned to look at Zheyan, and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Why is there such a strong celestial aura in the palace?

Zheyan has extremely wide channels of information and connections throughout the immortal realm.

Upon hearing Tang Yu's question, he narrowed his eyes slightly and began to calculate the current situation using his fingers.

After a moment, he smiled and slowly began to speak.

"Donghua Dijun is undergoing tribulations in the mortal realm and is currently the emperor of this Song Kingdom, so the palace is filled with immortal energy."

Upon hearing this answer, Tang Yu's eyes widened slightly, revealing a hint of shock.

She has been in this world for a long time and has heard many stories of gods undergoing tribulations, but strangely, the Heavenly Dao has never made such an arrangement for her.

Filled with curiosity, she couldn't help but ask.

"Even at this level, does Emperor Donghua still need to undergo tribulation?"

In Tang Yu's mind, Donghua Dijun was the deposed ruler of heaven and earth.

With such a noble status, to undergo another tribulation—is this an attempt to ascend to the Heavenly Dao?

Zheyan didn't actually know the real reason why Emperor Donghua was going through tribulations, but based on his understanding of Emperor Donghua, he guessed.

"It's probably to temper one's mindset. After all, the Star Lord of Destiny specially arranges one's fate, and Emperor Donghua must have agreed to that fate before going to the mortal realm."

After listening, Tang Yu blinked in confusion and asked, "Are all destinies predetermined?"

Zheyan thought of the rules for those who descended to the mortal realm to undergo tribulations in the Heavenly Palace, and nodded as he began to explain.

"The deities who descend to the mortal realm to undergo tribulations are all destined for a specific fate. Sometimes, if they make a mistake in the Heavenly Palace, they will be punished by undergoing a miserable tribulation."

Upon hearing this answer, Tang Yu pursed her lips and couldn't help but complain.

"So, Emperor Donghua chose the destiny of an emperor, is he here to enjoy wealth and glory in the mortal world?"

As soon as the remark left his mouth, Zheyan couldn't help but burst out laughing. He found Tang Yu's idea really interesting and nodded in agreement.

“Yu’er’s understanding is not bad. The emperors in the human world have already gathered power and wealth. It seems that Donghua must be bored with his life and came to the human world to find some fun.”

Just as the couple were complaining about Emperor Donghua, a familiar figure appeared in front of them without warning.

The newcomer was Bai Qian. She smiled broadly, her eyes sparkling with a teasing light, and immediately joined the chorus of complaints.

"You two are mistaken. I have personally gone to Si Ming Xing Jun to inquire about Dong Hua Di Jun's tribulation."

The Emperor came to experience the human suffering of birth, aging, sickness, death, resentment, separation from loved ones, and unfulfilled desires.

Although I think this suffering is nothing compared to having his eyes gouged out, it must have been a great ordeal for Emperor Donghua.
