The grass in the factory should be plucked

After feeding him a bowl of spiritual liquid, Jiang Li carefully placed the egg back on the jade bed.

After eating and drinking his fill, he curled up into a ball and started snoring softly.

Jiang Li sensed through the Heart-to-Heart Pact that his health was good, and she couldn't help but ask, "Master, when will Egg wake up?"

Mingxuan Zhenjun pondered and said, "Master has never raised dragons before, so he is not very clear about it. According to the ancient records in the sect, newly hatched dragons are about the size of calves. This young dragon is congenitally deficient, so it will probably need to be fed until it reaches a normal size before it wakes up from its slumber."

Jiang Li was speechless. Egg was only as thick as a wrist right now. When would it grow to the size of a calf?

She suddenly remembered something else, "Master, what will happen to Egg after I marry into the Sword Sect?"

Her natal spirit pet will naturally follow her. But once she arrives at the Sword Sect, who will help her raise the dragon?

She tugged at Mingxuan Zhenjun's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Master, could you go and stay at the Sword Sect for a while?"

Mingxuan Zhenjun almost laughed out of anger. So she wanted her master to be her dowry?

He was furious and poked her forehead, saying helplessly, "Didn't Master say it's just a temporary measure? It's not like I'm really making you get married!"

"After you and Chonghua form your bond of unity, we'll return to the sect."

Jiang Li was overjoyed: "Really? We don't need to stay in the Sword Sect?"

Mingxuan Zhenjun glared at her: "Are you stupid? You are my personal disciple, bearing the future of the sect on your shoulders. How can you give yourself to the Sword Sect? This is not a marriage in the mortal world, where you become part of the husband's family after marriage. We cultivators don't care about this when forming a Daoist couple!"

Jiang Li suddenly realized that finding a Daoist partner didn't mean you had to follow the chicken or the dog!

She also gained a Nascent Soul sword cultivator "summoned beast" that could be summoned and dismissed at will!

It seems like a pretty good deal?

Overjoyed, she said happily, "Master, I want to tour my Dragon Palace. Could you watch over Egg for me?"

Mingxuan Zhenjun waved his hand: "Go, go."

"Xiao Teng, let's go!"

Jiang Li called over the Rejuvenating Vine and asked her to continue acting as a guide.

Behind Xuanyuan Palace is the "Liuli Palace".

"The Glazed Palace? Is that the Dragon Queen's palace?" Jiang Li asked curiously.

The Rejuvenating Ivy asked in surprise, "Master, is this you and..."

She suddenly couldn't speak, as if her throat had been choked.

Mingxuan Zhenjun had previously placed a "silencing spell" on several spiritual plants, preventing them from speaking about anything involving Xie Chang'an and his four children.

Jiang Li did not notice anything unusual about the Rejuvenating Vine and excitedly pushed open the palace gate.

The palace is named "Liuli Palace" because it uses large areas of glazed tiles. When sunlight penetrates the deep seawater, the walls refract iridescent halos that flow endlessly, as if the entire Milky Way has been shattered between the palace buildings.

Behind the screen was a glass and jade bed, the bed frame carved from pink crystal glass, with a moon-white silk gauze curtain hanging from it. A gentle breeze seemed to carry a faint fragrance.

The bed was covered with four layers of soft satin brocade quilts, and a pair of mandarin duck jade pillows were placed side by side.

On the east side of the sleeping quarters, there was a dressing table, on which were casually placed a gold comb, a mother-of-pearl box full of rouge and powder, and a box full of hairpins and jewelry...

Jiang Li became increasingly alarmed as she looked around. Every single item and decoration seemed strangely familiar to her.

Could it be...

A row of gilded glass wardrobes stood against the west wall. Jiang Li walked over and opened the wardrobe doors.

A wardrobe full of clothes, both women's and men's.

Jiang Li silently took out a jade lotus skirt. The skirt was made of soft, light green silk and embroidered with pale pink lotus leaves and lotus flowers. The veins of the leaves were outlined with silver thread, and tiny pearls were adorning the petals.

She didn't even need to try on the skirt; she knew it would fit her perfectly.

This palace is where she and Xie Chang'an once lived.

Jiang Li closed the wardrobe door in a daze and walked out of the Glass Palace without a word.

She then went to the Lingxi Palace, Tingchao Palace, Nuanxiang Palace, and Hanyu Palace on both sides.

Each palace bears traces of past human habitation; clothing and other personal belongings indicate that it was inhabited by two men and two women.

Who are they?

Jiang Li felt a sharp, throbbing pain in her heart; she seemed to have forgotten something very important...

"Xiao Teng, who lived in these four palaces?"

Jiang Li looked at the Rejuvenating Vine with a bewildered expression.

"Uh……"

Hui Chun Teng shook her head anxiously; she couldn't say anything!

Jiang Li immediately understood: her master had placed a silencing spell on Xiao Teng!

She stormed back to Xuanyuan Palace.

"Master, why did you cast a silencing spell on Xiao Teng and the others? What are you trying to hide?"

Mingxuan Zhenjun's face darkened, and he said irritably, "How would your master know about what you did in the lower realm? Go ask Chonghua!"

Jiang Li pouted and ran back to the Glazed Palace, taking out the communication jade talisman that Xie Chang'an had given her from her bosom.

"Senior Brother Chang'an, are you there?"

Xie Chang'an's joyful voice came from the jade talisman: "Junior sister, I'm here! I just returned to the sect."

Jiang Li asked directly, "Who lived in the side hall of the Dragon Palace?"

Xie Chang'an's heart began to pound wildly, and her eyes reddened slightly. Could it be that her memories had returned?

"Little Tanuki," his voice choked with emotion, "you...you remembered?"

"Little Tanuki? Who is that?"

Xie Chang'an sighed softly, "Your nickname when you were in the mortal realm was Little Fox."

"Oh," Jiang Li said again, "you still haven't answered my question."

Xie Chang'an asked in a low voice, "Do you really want to know?"

"Yes! Tell me quickly!"

Jiang Li was incredibly curious; why were they all so secretive?

"Thank you for never leaving, thank you for never abandoning, thank you for being carefree, thank you for being worry-free."

Xie Chang'an's soft voice held a heartache and sorrow that Jiang Li couldn't understand.

"Who...are they?"

Jiang Li's heart ached again, her subconscious telling her that these four names were closely related to her!

"They are the children you and I had in the mortal realm..."

Xie Chang'an's words struck her heart like a heavy hammer!

The child he had with her?

She gave birth to four children in the mortal realm?!

"They are two pairs of twins, two boys and two girls. The girl is 'Bu Li Wu Chou' (不离、无愁), and the boy is 'Bu Qi Wu You' (不弃、无忧).

Jiang Li asked blankly, "Are they in the lower realm now?"

Xie Chang'an paused for a moment, then said, "Hmm."

"How old were they when we left?"

"Standing by each other through thick and thin at eighteen, carefree and without worries at sixteen."

Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, they've all grown up.

She couldn't imagine that she had given birth to children and been a mother in the mortal realm!

"What do they look like? Do they look like you or me?"

Jiang Li was very curious.

Xie Chang'an smiled slightly, "I am like you, inseparable and carefree."

"Really? Exactly the same as me?"

"Ah."

"Master is so annoying! Why did you seal my memories? I can't remember what they looked like at all!"

Jiang Li felt very sorry.

"I'll draw it for you when I have some free time in the future," Xie Chang'an said softly.

"Okay, don't forget!"

"Yes, I won't forget."

The two were chatting and laughing, while Mingxuan Zhenjun stood outside the door, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.
