Hearing this, Di Yan was at a loss for words. A hint of helplessness crossed her face as she stood up, walked behind Meng Chun, and grasped his shoulders, trying to turn him around.

But after exerting a little force, she found that Meng Chun didn't move at all. She had no choice but to walk in front of him, looked down, and saw that he was crying again.

Emperor Zhao had never encountered such a situation before, and felt a little helpless for a moment. He opened his mouth several times but couldn't say a word.

Meng Chun stubbornly refused to look up at her, but instead said with self-pity, "I know you don't like me and have no feelings for me. I'm not likable anyway... You don't have to worry about me. I'll adjust myself sooner or later anyway..."

Di Qi frowned. How could she leave him like this? However, her previous life experience did not teach her how to coax her Taoist partner.

I have never thought about what I would do if I encountered such a situation.

In this situation, she didn't even know what to say. After all, she had just told the truth and made the person cry.

Seeing that she hadn't made any move, Meng Chun didn't want to be angry, but now he suddenly felt a little angry. He brushed away Di Qian's hand and turned his back again.

Meng Chun raised her hand to wipe away her tears and said unhappily, "If you really don't like me, I won't force you. Anyway, I like you. Once I adjust myself, I will naturally come back to you happily."

When Emperor Taizu saw that he suddenly got angry, he felt a little confused for a moment.

How come there is a problem with speaking and also a problem with not speaking?

She didn't understand, but the current situation triggered her instinctive sense of crisis. If it wasn't resolved in time, there would definitely be bigger problems in the future.

She helplessly grabbed Meng Chun's hand and said very carefully, "You are not unlovable."

When Meng Chun heard this, he turned to look at her, and asked with red eyes: "Then why don't you ever say you like me?"

"!" Emperor Zhao was stunned where he stood, his eyes, which were usually cold and calm, now had a hint of nervousness.

Seeing that she didn't say anything again, Meng Chun became even angrier.

A mixture of grievance and inexpressible emotions surged in his heart. With red eyes, he questioned, "You said I'm not unlovable, but you never said you liked me. Even back in the little world, you just said "hmm" twice..."

Seeing that he was about to cry again, Dizha had no choice but to hold him in his arms and pat his back soothingly.

The action is no different from coaxing a child.

"Meng Qian, I'm not as bad as you said..."

"Look, you call me by my full name..." Meng Chun interrupted her in a muffled voice in her arms.

Emperor Qian was confused again. Why couldn't he call her by her name?

Meng Chun withdrew from her embrace and looked at her with tears in his eyes. "You even call me by my full name. What am I to you now?"

"Could it be that I am still your disciple? Or... are we just the kind of people who can separate at any time?"

When Emperor Qian heard his words, he directly denied them, "Since I have already admitted that I have you in my heart, then we are naturally Taoist companions. How can we have such a casual relationship?"

Taoist companion? !

Meng Chun stared at her blankly, all the emotions in his heart were suddenly soothed by these two words.

"You said...we are now a couple?"

"Of course. Could it be that what you did back then was just to test my tolerance for you?" Di Zhao looked at his stunned reaction with a frown.

Meng Chun finally shook his head, put his arms around her waist, took a deep breath in her arms, and said, "I thought... with your cultivation and status, it was impossible for you to be my Taoist partner..."

"Why?" Emperor Qi asked doubtfully.

Meng Chun explained, "Because...anyone with a bit of status or background in this world will choose to have three wives and four concubines. This is true even for cultivators, let alone cultivators like you who have a mysterious identity and powerful strength..."

Emperor Qian looked down at him, his tone particularly serious: "Others need to use three wives and four concubines to show their status and position, it's because they are incompetent."

"If a person cannot even uphold the most basic loyalty, how can such a person become the most powerful person in the world?"

"I, Diqian, only have one Taoist companion, which is enough. As for my status, position, and strength, they are all earned by myself."

She reached out and wiped the tears from Meng Chun's eyes, speaking in a slow tone, "You just need to practice well now. Don't think too much, as it can lead to illness. To reach the Immortal Realm in the future, you need a firm heart to survive the thunder tribulation."

The uneasiness in Meng Chun's heart finally subsided, and he asked, "Can you kiss me?"

When Dizaka heard this, his eyes fell on his lips. Thinking of the soft touch he had felt last time, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Meng Chun looked at her expectantly, only to see Di Qi put his hand on the back of his head and then gave him a very light kiss on the forehead.

Meng Chun was stunned for a moment, then pointed at his lips and said angrily: "I told you to kiss here, not on the forehead!"

The fragrance of his hair still lingered on Dizha's nose. She looked at Meng Chun's angry expression with a faint smile in her eyes, "Wait until you grow up, then we'll kiss again."

Meng Chun still looked furious. He turned his head away and said, "Then you said you liked me, really liked me! And you are not allowed to call me by my full name anymore. I am now your Taoist partner, so how can you call me by a name that anyone else can use?"

It is true that the second half of the sentence was a bit difficult for Di Qie, after all, she thought there was nothing wrong with calling a Taoist partner like this.

Meng Chun, also known by his courtesy name Qi'an...

Calling him Qi'an would feel weird, but calling him An'an would be too intimate. They haven't become Taoist partners yet, so this would be somewhat impolite.

But calling Chun'er would make others feel like they were calling a child.

This... For a moment, Dizaka was also confused.

She pondered it for a moment, but decided she had to test Meng Chun's feelings first. "You haven't even reached adulthood yet, so who chose this name for you?"

Meng Chun lowered his head and stopped pretending to be angry. He just whispered, "My parents gave me the name... Although I have never met them, the elders of the clan said that they actually love me very much..."

"That's why I've always carried this word with me and haven't changed it."

After he finished speaking, he looked up at Dizaka, only to see her eyes looking at him sincerely. "This word is very good. It means praying for peace every year."

Emperor Qian took him in his arms, patted his back gently, and said, "Your uncle and aunt must love you very much. Don't be sad."

Meng Chun hugged her back and called out in a hoarse voice, "Senior..."

"I'm here."

"Can you call me Chun'er..."

Just like his father and mother in his previous life, Qi'an is a good name, but Chun'er is his real nickname.

Dizha only thought about it for a moment, then whispered seriously in his ear, saying gently: "Chun'er, be good, I will love you from now on."
