Chapter 2895

Some guests felt a hint of disdain, believing the Strategist Alliance’s actions were a slight against them. However, the Alliance members were all wise; those with such thoughts kept them strictly to themselves. Most invitees attended the nearby celebration venues arranged by the Alliance.

The Alliance also invited a few long-absent figures. The Sect Master of the Ethereal Sect, who had not appeared in two thousand years and was thought to be merely a legend, attended. The Palace Master of the Ink Palace also came. This information was kept secret, so few knew of their presence.

Most importantly, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan, as family, were present. The Immortal Emperor, who managed the Immortal Realm, arrived with the Immortal Empress. As expected, the Black Emperor and her Empress also came upon receiving the news.

Although no ordinary mortals were present, the attendees within the Strategist Alliance were still shocked by the gathering’s magnitude.

“It’s a pity Mom and Dad couldn’t come, but they asked me to bring gifts for you,” Zhu Yanyi said, tossing a storage ring to Zhu Zhibin.

Zhu Zhibin glanced at the contents and smiled. “I see much of this was prepared by you and Brother-in-law.”

“Mom and Dad gave us funds to prepare it. Since you aren’t a soul, we had to handle it ourselves,” Zhu Yanyi stated directly.

“Sister, do you really wish for your brother to die?” Zhu Zhibin said, amused.

Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. “Who do you think I’m doing this for? If not for you, why would I come here with a heavy belly?”

Indeed, Zhu Yanyi had been pregnant for fifty years. This was one reason she had been recuperating in the Underworld. Originally, she and Yan Aohan had no plans for children. However, after accidentally consuming a Natural Fruit from the Empress during a visit to the Supreme Imperial Palace, she became pregnant. Since the child was already conceived, they decided to keep her, resulting in a fifty-year pregnancy.

“Is it a nephew or a niece?” Zhu Zhibin asked curiously.

“A niece.” It was strange. In the Divine Realm, gods often had sons. Yet Zhu Yanyi’s first child was a daughter, and this one was also a girl. Many gods were already eyeing her unborn daughter, hoping to marry her as a daughter-in-law.

Zhu Zhibin said, “Sister, this means my niece will be very sought after.”

“Don’t flatter yourself. Your brother-in-law and I have already calculated that her destiny lies elsewhere. In fifty years, when she is near birth, we plan to send her to the lower realm for a mortal life. She will return only after overcoming her emotional tribulation.”

As the Underworld Empress, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan knew half of their daughter’s future. The other half was for the child to forge herself.

“You really intend to send her down?” Zhu Zhibin asked seriously.

Zhu Yanyi smiled. “She has consciousness in my womb. I have taught her what she needs to know. Besides, a small plane has some issues. She can go there to fix them.”

“What issues?” Zhu Zhibin asked.

“Nothing major. Just a reborn person and a transmigrator appeared there. Such occurrences shouldn’t happen in a small plane. Someone needs to handle it, so my unborn child will do it.”

Zhu Yanyi looked at Zhu Zhibin. “Besides, I am her biological mother. I won’t let her suffer. I will give her a Life Ring and some cultivation methods before she leaves. There is no need to worry about her safety.”

Zhu Zhibin raised an eyebrow. “I was just saying. But Sister, you and Brother-in-law have big hearts.”

Yan Aohan disagreed. “When you have children, you will understand. Sometimes, a big heart comes from foreseeing the future.”

Zhu Zhibin did not doubt Yan Aohan. As the Underworld Emperor, Yan Aohan’s abilities and insight far exceeded his own.

“As long as my niece is safe, I have no objections,” Zhu Zhibin said.

“You sound like you are her father,” Yan Aohan said, looking at her brother-in-law with mild disdain.

Zhu Zhibin smiled, ignoring the complaint.

The day of Zhu Zhibin’s wedding arrived.

Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi sat as the honored elders. Zhu Zhibin welcomed Zhang Weixi to a nearby inn. They performed the wedding ceremony, bowing to heaven and earth, followed by the Heavenly Dao Oath.

When the heavenly light descended, it signified the Heavenly Dao’s recognition of their union.

After sending the couple to the bridal chamber, Zhu Yanyi looked relieved. “Mom and Dad were most worried about Doumiao. Finally, Doumiao has a true home.”

Yan Aohan nodded, holding Zhu Yanyi’s waist. “Stop worrying about Doumiao. She is over two hundred years old. If she cannot protect her wife, your teachings were in vain. Now, you must focus on your health.”

Zhu Yanyi nodded. “The Empress said the child will be born in a hundred years. Since she came from a Natural Fruit, we must send her to reincarnate immediately after birth. Husband, please arrange this.”

Yan Aohan gently touched Zhu Yanyi’s belly. “Rest assured. I will send her to a turbulent era in a small plane.”

“A turbulent era?” Zhu Yanyi knew Yan Aohan had reasons.

“Turbulent eras have many events. Though chaotic, they offer many opportunities. I plan to let her accumulate karmic merit and power of faith there. It will be fine.”

Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. “Which era?”

“The 1960s,” Yan Aohan said. “That era lacked medical resources. Due to the turbulent times, she will experience human suffering and joys. Most importantly, the college entrance examination resumed in 1976, allowing her to enter a period of normal development.”

Since the trial would last a lifetime, Yan Aohan needed to plan carefully.

“Leave it to you,” Zhu Yanyi said. The hardships of turbulent times were nothing for cultivators. The most important thing was tempering the mind.

Yan Aohan spoke to Zhu Yanyi’s belly. “Guai Guai, cultivate well in your mother’s womb. When you are born, Father will personally send you to reincarnate. You must show everyone your charm.”

Yan Aohan looked proud, as if his daughter had already been born.
