After finishing his homework, Shi Bao went straight to Feng Hong Yuan.

The little immortal lord ran fast and steadily, like a graceful little white ball of fluff tied with a ribbon.

Little Stone Treasure ran to the main hall, stopped, straightened his clothes, and slowly and properly entered the side hall.

He approached the fire spirit stone bed and saw that his mother was still asleep. He pouted, a little disappointed.

Shi Bao squeezed past Feng Yu to the pillowside and whispered in Shen Yao's ear, "Mother, wake up soon, Shi Bao misses you so much."

"Shi Bao, come here." Jiang Ming told Shi Bao to be quiet, then picked him up and took him outside.

In the courtyard of Fenghongyuan, under the red maple tree that can be embraced by three arms, the swing made of red maple wood is particularly stable.

Shi Bao sat on the swing, and Jiang Ming gently pushed it from the side: "Shi Bao, you look just like your father. Does your mother like your face?"

After asking the question, he waited anxiously for the answer, fearing that Shi Bao would say he didn't like it.

Shi Bao recalled his childhood and smiled sweetly: "My mother loved me very much. She praised me for being good-looking every day!"

Jiang Ming smiled contentedly.

Shen Yao liked Shi Bao's face. Shi Bao looked just like her, and Shen Yao still liked his face.

On the morning of the third day, Shen Yao finally woke up. She opened her eyes slightly, feeling as if her bones and muscles had been crushed: "It hurts..."

"You're awake!" Feng Yu excitedly cupped her face in his hands: "Yanzhou, you're finally awake!"

All the cultivators immediately surrounded them.

With the light blocked in front of the bed, Shen Yao felt as if it were pitch black.

"It's good that she's awake." Jiang Qi's voice was bright. She handed the exquisite wooden box to Feng Yu: "Give her these three days' worth of life-sustaining medicine."

Shen Yao looked at Jiang Qi and asked weakly, "Jiang Qi?"

Jiang Qi smiled brightly at her, just like she did at the True God Sect in Emperor Immortal City: "What should you call me?"

Shen Yao paused for a moment, her eyelids drooping, and she spoke in a voice barely audible: "Sister."

"Hahaha." Jiang Qi laughed heartily, "Yes, still call me sister! Now that you're awake, I have other things to do, so I won't stay any longer. Shen Yao, remember to take your medicine."

After Jiang Qi left, Jiang Ming stood in Jiang Qi's place. He felt a little timid and hesitantly called out, "Yao'er."

Shen Yao shuddered, her pale face full of confusion.

What's going on? Why are Jiang Qi and Jiang Ming both here?

She slowly looked at the faces beside the bed: Yunhe, her father, Brother Wu, Jiang Ming… Jiang Qi who had just left… and this environment… Maple Red Garden, Fire Spirit Stone Bed?

No matter how you look at it, all of this shouldn't be in one frame.

They're probably still dreaming.

But why does it hurt so much in a dream?

Never mind, I'll try taking another nap.

She endured the pain, shrank deeper into the blanket, closed her eyes, pulled the blanket up over her head, and covered herself with it.

Her reaction gave everyone the impression that she didn't want to see Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming saw all this and understood everything. His expectations vanished, and without waiting for Huo Die to chase him away, he left the side hall on his own.

He stood in the courtyard, the falling red maple leaves making him even more unsettled.

She calls Jiang Qi "sister" but doesn't say a word to him.

She even covered her head to avoid looking at him, showing how guilty she was.

She still hates him, and this is definitely revenge.

Jiang Ming grew angrier the more he thought about it, and he unleashed a burst of spiritual energy at the wall of Maple Red Garden, causing it to collapse with a loud crash.

Shen Yao wanted to doze off a little longer and see if she could wake up from her dream, but a loud noise made her feel unwell all over.

She opened the quilt covering her head, and Feng Yu had already ground the medicine. He helped Shen Yao up with one hand and let her nestle in his arms to drink the medicine.

After Shen Yao finished drinking her medicine, she asked him, "Yunhe, is this a dream?"

Feng Yu wiped the medicine from her lips: "It's not a dream. You've been unconscious for three days and have finally woken up."

Shen Yao asked Huo Die again, "Father, is this a dream?"

Huo Die laughed and said, "It's not a dream."

She looked at Hu Yawu again, and before she could ask, Hu Yawu waved his hand and said, "It wasn't a dream, you really slept for three days."

Shen Yao: "Then why are Jiang Qi and Jiang Ming both at the Mingshan Sect?"

"Sigh!" Hu Yawu sighed, "The Mingshan Sect was defeated and has been occupied by the True God Sect. This place is now the Chongcheng branch of the True God Sect."

Shen Yao asked anxiously, "Where's Shi Bao? Where's Shen Yu?"

Hu Yawu: "Don't worry, Shi Bao is here too. You'll see him soon. Shen Yu went to the demon realm with A Yuan and Gou Yue."

Shen Yao: "I want to see Shi Bao."

"Okay, I'll go get him." Huo Die left the side hall and ordered Jiang Ming, who was standing in the courtyard, "Shen Yao wants to see Shi Bao, go get him."

Jiang Ming left immediately.

After thinking it over carefully, Huo Die was still a little uneasy, so he went along too.

Feng Yu's heart was pounding, which reassured Shen Yao. Hu Yawu silently left the side hall, leaving the couple alone.

Having not been alone together for a long time, Shen Yao nuzzled his chest and said coquettishly, "Husband, my body hurts so much, it feels like it's been crushed."

Feng Yu pressed her head down: "Don't move, your..."

After thinking for a moment, he decided not to say anything yet, since Yanzhou had just woken up and was still very weak: "Your injuries are very serious."

Shen Yao: "Is this the price for using the God-Slaying Technique?"

Feng Yu: "Mm."

Shen Yao: "How did we get here?"

Feng Yu: "Your injuries are too severe, and your life is in danger. Jiang Qi has a life-extending elixir. Take it once every three days, and it can extend your life for three days."

"What?" Shen Yao looked up, her brows furrowed. "How could this be? Does that mean we're now at Jiang Qi's mercy?"

Feng Yu pressed her forehead against hers and whispered, "It won't always be like this. Don't overthink it. Dad said he has a way."

Shen Yao felt guilty and kissed his face through the mask: "I'm sorry to have wronged you."

Feng Yu gently shook her head: "I'm not wronged, it's just that Jiang Ming will come over eventually. If you have to bear with it, please don't clash with him. Staying alive is more important, okay?"

Shen Yao's eyes reddened, and she hugged Feng Yu with heartache, saying, "I'll listen to whatever you say."

Upon hearing that his mother had woken up, Shi Bao broke free from Jiang Ming's arms as soon as he arrived at Feng Hong Yuan and rushed into the room like a wild horse.

"Mother! Mother!" Shi Bao ran very fast, rushed to the side hall and jumped onto the bed, trying to throw himself into Shen Yao's arms.

Jiang Ming stopped him and lifted him up with one hand: "Your mother's injuries haven't healed yet, she can't carry you."

As he spoke, he gently placed Shi Bao inside. Shi Bao crawled toward Shen Yao and carefully leaned against his mother's arm: "Mother is finally awake! Shi Bao missed you so much!"

Upon seeing Shi Bao, Shen Yao was overcome with maternal love, her smile radiant. Forgetting all her physical pain, she pulled Shi Bao into her arms, exclaiming, "My dear Shi Bao, Mother missed you so much!"

Jiang Ming was deeply moved; at least she loved their child very much.

The mother and son rubbed their faces together.

"Mother, I miss you so much!"

"My darling, Mommy misses you so much!"

As he rubbed against her, Shi Bao suddenly burst into tears: "Waaaaah..."

Shen Yao felt extremely sorry for him and cupped his chubby face in her hands: "Oh dear, why are you crying?"
