Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

"Little Stone, are you punished to copy books again?" Zheyan teased the little guy in front of him leisurely.

Beside the stone table under the bellflower tree, he was lying on it, writing seriously, his white hair combed into two small tufts like a schoolboy. Hao Shuo raised his childish face and said, "It's you, old Phoenix."

"What old phoenix? You really just followed your father and didn't learn your lesson." Zheyan scolded him neither lightly nor heavily, but with a certain sense of indulgence.

"I can learn it just by following Mom." Hao Shuo sighed and poked his face with the brush tip. "It's a pity that Mom is always occupied by Dad. I'm scared to sleep alone at night, and I can't even find Mom to sleep with me."

"Daddy is so overbearing. Mother doesn't belong to him alone."

"You're right." Zhe Yan smiled and rubbed Hao Shuo's head. "Your father is indeed too overbearing. If I were you, I would go cry in front of your mother and complain to him!"

"I want to, too." Hao Shuo nodded and then shook his head, "But there will always be a time when mother is not by my side, and then I will be miserable."

Looking at the serious look on the little purple crystal stone's face, Zhe Yan couldn't help but laugh: "You are quite clever."

"Of course!" Hao Shuo raised his chin proudly. "When a strong person encounters someone weaker than him, he will directly crush them with force. When he encounters someone stronger than him... he will have to rely on his brain."

"As long as I don't look for Mother for a few days, she will naturally come to find me. If she finds out that I am being punished by Father to copy books, Father will definitely make things difficult for me!"

Zhe Yan: “…”

Zheyan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

This kid is worthy of being Donghua’s biological son. He and Donghua are simply cut from the same cloth.

Fortunately, his little phoenix has not hatched from the egg yet, otherwise... if the only little girl among three children starts fighting for Ruan Ruan, he will be in trouble.

Simply sitting across from Hao Shuo and straightening his sleeves, Zhe Yan asked with some interest, "Then why were you punished to copy the book this time?"

Hao Shuo pointed to his snow-white hair and said, "I want to dye my hair black."

Zhe Yan was amused: "Do you dislike it?"

"It's not that I dislike it," Hao Shuo said, his face wrinkled in misery, and he was very distressed. "Daddy said that my white hair, like his, is a symbol of power and status, but my brother Mo Chen has black hair, and my sister Ruoying, who is still in the egg, must also have smooth, beautiful black hair like silk. I am the only one in the world who is special."

"When I was in the Heavenly Palace, the other children were afraid of me and didn't dare to play with me. The only ones who did were Mo Chen and A-Li. Now Mo Chen is detained by his father in Kunlun Xu to study, and A-Li spends all day chasing after the goddess Bai Qian with his father. He even had to run to the Medicine King to treat his father after he was injured by the goddess Bai Qian. He has no time to play with me. I'm alone now, and there's no one to play with me. I'm so lonely..."

"Then why don't you go play with your mother?" Seeing through Hao Shuo's little trick, Zheyan continued to ask.

Hao Shuo sighed again like a little adult: "Mom went to the mortal world for free medical treatment, and Dad went with her. Because of the hair issue, Dad punished me to copy books, so I can only be alone in the Blue Sea Cang Ling."

"By the way, I haven't asked yet, what is Father Zheyan doing here?"

Zhe Yan smiled at Hao Shuo and said, "Come and take your mother to the Ten-Mile Peach Forest to reunite with your sister Ruoying and the three of them."

"Ten years have passed so quickly..." Hao Shuo put down the pen in his hand, tears rolling down his eyes. He said sadly, "Brother Mo Chen is in Kunlun Xu, A Li and his father went to pursue the goddess Bai Qian, and my father always punishes me. Now my father Zheyan wants to take my mother away from me. I have nothing left..."

"Good boy, you've been waiting for me here." Grabbing Hao Shuo's soft, baby-fat cheek, Zhe Yan looked towards a large tree and said deliberately, "Come on, I'll take you to Kunlun Xu to find Mo Chen!"

"No, no, no! Don't go to Kunlunxu to look for me!" The little boy in green clothes came out from behind the tree and waved at Zheyan: "I, I'm here."

"You two little guys, can't bear to leave your mother, so you come up with this method to frame me?" Pointing at the two little guys in front of him who bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes, Zheyan couldn't hit or scold them. He was not angry in his heart, but felt that these two children were very cute.

"We can't beat you. Father Zheyan is smart and cunning." Mo Chen, who is only three thousand years old, inherited Mo Yuan's powerful bloodline. He grew up slowly and has only recently started to speak fluently. He doesn't know how to use words well yet.

He spoke slowly and looked so soft and tender that people wanted to hold him in their arms and caress him.

Hao Shuo, who was twenty thousand years older than Mo Chen and slightly taller, looked about five or six years older. He poked Mo Chen lightly with his finger and said, "Don't use careless words. If Father Zheyan gets angry, not only will he not let us see Mother, he won't let us see Sister Ruoying either."

Zheyan, who was trying to scare them with a stern face, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He held each child in his arms, "You two little ones make me sound cold and heartless. If you can't leave your mother, then come with me to live in the Ten-Mile Peach Forest. That way, you won't have to use this trick on me every time I come to pick up your mother."

"But there is one thing, you are not allowed to secretly take Ruoying to do anything naughty."

"Yes! We promise!" the two children said in unison.

"If I get scared sleeping alone at night, can I go find my mother?" Hao Shuo looked at Zhe Yan expectantly.

Zhe Yan smiled at him: "No."

……

Ten thousand years later, Zheyan himself transformed into a phoenix and the phoenix egg he hatched finally began to move.

The little phoenix named Ruoying broke out of the shell. Her eyes and eyebrows looked very much like Jiang Ruan. As the only girl among three children, she was pampered by everyone since birth. She had everything she wanted and even rode on Donghua's shoulders.

When Ruoying grew up a little, the three children plus A-li gathered in Kunlun Xu and were taught by Mo Yuan.

With sixteen senior brothers, a senior sister who is a deity, and their aunt, General Su Jin, the four children can get whatever they want.

When he was at that age, he was a mischievous child and would cause chaos wherever he went. However, he was well-behaved and quiet around Jiang Ruan, and he also liked to follow Jiang Ruan to the human world to practice medicine and consult patients.

Influenced by Jiang Ruan, the four children kept the world in their hearts and always thought about doing good deeds and accumulating virtue when they went out.

Ruoying, the youngest of the four children, has the final say.

She is very much like Jiang Ruan, whether she is talking or doing things, a slight glance from her eyes will make the two brothers dare not say a word for a moment, and with a cough, Ali will say yes repeatedly.

Therefore, she often took the three of them to travel around the world to do justice, and wherever they went, there was justice.

Being a god means giving everything for the people of the world. This idea still deeply affects Jiang Ruan, Donghua, Mo Yuan, and Zheyan, who hold real power in the world, even after they have responded to their calamities and returned to the way of heaven.

Hao Shuo, Mo Chen, Ruoying and A Li joined forces to manage the world in an orderly manner.

The Three Lives Three Worlds story is concluded.

Tomorrow I will return from my dream.
