In the warm spring of March, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the lights reflect on the water, creating a dazzling spectacle, just as prosperous as ever.

Beside the still lake, in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, the lights are dim, yet the space is as bright as day.

There was a private room with its window open, offering a perfect view of the shimmering water, a gentle breeze, and the glow of the moon on the horizon.

Yun Xinrou sat by the window once again. She and Xiao Zixin had sat here last time. Now, she was filled with mixed emotions as she admired the magnificent prosperity of the world.

"The moonlight is beautiful tonight, a perfect day for family reunion. I promised to come and explore first, now everyone else should be here by now."

I waited for a long time, and it felt like the flowers had almost withered several times over, but the scenery along the way was still quite nice, so it wasn't a complete waste.

However, the dishes were served while we were watching the show. Zuixianlou was indeed fast; it truly deserves to be called the best restaurant.

Xiao Zixin held Xiao You's hand in one hand and Xiao Le's hand in the other, and the three of them walked into the familiar house with smiles on their faces.

"Let me tell you, this Drunken Immortal Pavilion is the most fun place in the entire capital. And, what do you think? You get a real eye-opener, don't you?!"

Xiao You smiled and pointed to the bright moon in the sky, tilting her head to look at Xiao Zixin. After thinking for a moment, she said, "It's so nice to sit by the window and enjoy the moon and the scenery. Let's sit next to Mother."

"The moon is really full tonight, but... it's a bit of a pity that the Big Dipper that my uncle mentioned can't be seen."

“Xiaoyou is right. Uncle said the moon is bright and the stars are few, so we definitely won’t see many stars today.”

"Did your uncle teach you anything? Why do you keep talking about your uncle?!"

"Yes, my uncle talked a lot about my aunt. He said that my aunt also likes to stargaze and admire the moon, and especially likes to listen to him talk about celestial phenomena."

Lu Qingyan followed closely behind, her expression calm, but the light in her eyes revealed her true feelings.

"Hmph, you honest uncles, I can teach you a lot too. For example, I know which girls in the capital play the zither well, which ones play the pipa well... I know all about them."

"Do you want to know? Auntie will tell you one by one later!"

"Xiao Zixin! Shut up! Don't you dare corrupt my child, or I'll make trouble for you."

Xiao Zixu's face darkened, and he shouted angrily. At the same time, he helped the elderly Empress Dowager lift her leg and sit down in the room.

Author's Rant Session:

Xiao Zixin's face fell to the ground. She slammed her hand on the table and pointed at 'Jiujiu,' her dissatisfaction written all over her face.

The next second, he jumped up and shouted, wishing he could spit on 'Jiujiu's' face, in a fit of impotent rage.

"Was this written by your own hand? How come other people's writings seem to have some brains, while mine looks like I have no brains at all! Look at what other people are saying about me!"

Xiao Zixu crossed his arms angrily, rolled his eyes, and wished he could curse him eight hundred times to vent his anger.

Where's your brain? Where's your persona? Where's my ruthlessness? Where's my domineering aura?! Aaaaaah... Where's my lifelong reputation?!

Jiu Jiu helplessly shrugged, her mischievous side kicking in, and spouted complete nonsense: "My brain's been eaten by zombies, so I can't keep up with my persona, I've thrown my sinister side to the back of my mind, and I have no reputation for a lifetime."

Hahaha, Jiu Jiu gave an awkward laugh, touched her nose, and pretended nothing had happened.

Yun Xinrou took a swig of wine, as was her habit, and closed her eyes helplessly. She couldn't bear to look... Alas, she just couldn't bear to look!

"What happened to my character?! Even if my brain doesn't have a problem with it, it's so stupid I don't even dare watch it a second time?! Oh my god?!"

Hurry up and let me find a place to hide. I'm a little blind. I need to find a place where I don't know anyone, just hide... cough cough cough, three words: cover my head.

Jiu Jiu smiled again, trying to hide her head, and helplessly touched her nose.

Lu Qingyan, holding a Bagua plate, appeared gracefully before everyone, looking at Jiu Jiu calmly and speechlessly for a long while.

Jiu Jiu was covered in cold sweat, swallowed hard, and was so flustered that she couldn't explain herself to anyone else: "...".

"Why did they have to kill off my husband and me?! Divination... such powerful things, such amazing divination, it makes me feel like I'm from a different world than everyone else. I... it's like I'm a cultivator, and then I died..."

Lu Qingyan was still the same calm and collected man, with the long flute hanging from his waist, standing there with an air of otherworldly grace.

Cough cough cough... Jiu Jiu herself also felt that the Gu technique part was indeed... a bit unlike ordinary people, making it seem a bit like immortal magic.

Jiu Jiu gave an awkward smile, touched her nose again, unsure how to express herself, speechless and choked with emotion.

Xiao Zixin stood up, gritting her teeth, feeling incredibly choked up. She pointed at 'Jiujiu's' nose and launched into a tirade.

"What are you doing? What's going on? Do you have to kill us off?! I... I'm a princess who protects the country!! How dare you, you actually killed us off?! Ah!? I'm a princess of a country, so adorable, how could you bear to let me die?!"

Xiao Zixin glared at Jiu Jiu, finally blurting out the question she'd been wanting to ask. After all, some things just had to be said; she needed to get it off her chest to feel better.

Jiu Jiu lowered her head and wiped away her tears, trying to evoke the princess's pity: "I swear, I really didn't mean to kill you off. Really, it just happened as I was writing."

This ending was your own choice. Jiu Jiu cried while watching it. You two are the most satisfying of the first story.

Regardless, I feel that you are characters that Jiu Jiu cannot replicate, especially the ending. It would be difficult to write with that same feeling again.

Who understands? Although looking back, I feel that what I wrote was a mess, I was still moved by the deaths of the two people.

Um... well, it's like this," Jiu Jiu chuckled sheepishly, touching her nose again. Hmm... Jiu Jiu thought the only decent thing about the first story was these two.

"Alright, alright, this princess is magnanimous and won't hold it against you. I'll forgive you for the sake of you bringing us back to life in the extra chapters, Jiu Jiu. Just this once, okay?"

Xiao Zixin waved her hand haughtily, raised her eyebrows, and generously forgave Jiu Jiu.

Jiu Jiu bowed her head in gratitude, and the lackey touched his nose, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness, for sparing my life. Thank you, Your Highness."

Lu Qingyan looked at Xiao Zixin, a slight smile playing on her lips: "I once glimpsed the secrets of heaven and wanted to defy fate, but in the end, destiny cannot be defied. However, fortunately..."

"Fortunately...fortunately, Jiu Jiu has some conscience. She brought us to life in the extra chapters, allowing you to meet your two nephews and nieces."

The former head of the Heavenly Calculation Sect stroked his beard, raised an eyebrow, and pondered, "Disciple, although Jiu Jiu is ruthless, your master has warned you. It's your own fault for disobeying..."

Anyway, I'm just reminding you that the author still calls the shots in this world. *cough cough*... There are still some readers who like you, my disciple, aren't there?

Lu Qingyan, whom her master considered disobedient, slightly broke down: "..."

Aunt Xiang raised an eyebrow and smiled, watching the children argue indifferently, thinking to herself that no one would say anything to her anyway.

Hmm... Hahaha, that's right, it's just so awesome.

Although, well... I died in the end too, but it doesn't matter, my son and daughter-in-law died too!

Jiu Jiu was speechless again, and helplessly spread her hands: "..."

I once glimpsed the secrets of heaven and wanted to defy fate, but in the end, destiny cannot be defied. — Taken from the comments section, thank you for your support, Bao.
