Yan Aohan answered with a grin, though he kept the most important point to himself.
Zhu Yanyi didn’t know about the other functions, but just hearing this one made her eyes light up.
“That’s great. With this space, I won’t have to worry about not seeing you,” Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.
Yan Aohan nodded. “Also, the Black Emperor said that if we have relatives in the mortal world who already have descendants, he doesn’t suggest we have children after marrying in the mortal realm. When we leave eventually, we can’t take the children with us, which would be very sad for us. He suggests we wait until after we ascend to think about having children.”
“Then we’ll wait until after we ascend to have children,” Zhu Yanyi nodded seriously.
If Yan Aohan hadn’t told her this, she might have felt a knot in her heart if they married without children in the future. Now that she had explained it, she understood clearly that it was indeed unsuitable to have children in the mortal world.
No qualified parents would bear to be separated from their children.
Especially for Zhu Yanyi, whose previous marriage had failed and left her without her own children. She treated her nephew like her own son. Because of this, she would cherish children even more in this life. Since she knew she couldn’t take them when ascending, she would simply wait. It wasn’t that she wouldn’t have them, just that the timing was delayed.
She was different now. If needed, she could have more children after ascending. There was no family planning policy for immortals, so she didn’t need to worry about penalties for having too many.
Zhu Yanyi realized that being a cultivator had its perks. Once they ascended, they wouldn’t have to worry about fines for having extra children.
Thinking about this, Zhu Yanyi couldn’t help but smile.
Seeing her expression, Yan Aohan raised an eyebrow slightly. “What are you thinking about that makes you so happy?”
Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. “I just thought of one benefit of ascending for cultivators.”
“Forever young and beautiful?” Yan Aohan asked.
“No.”
“Longer lifespan?”
“No.”
“Being able to eat delicious food forever?”
“You’re thinking in the wrong direction.”
“What is it then?” Yan Aohan became even more curious.
Zhu Yanyi grinned. “One benefit of ascending is that you don’t have to worry about fines for having too many children.” She burst into laughter.
Yan Aohan looked at his playful little fiancée, speechless, and could only laugh helplessly.
“So my Ani is in such a hurry to have children with me,” Yan Aohan said with a sigh, looking sentimental.
Zhu Yanyi made a funny face at her. “What are you talking about? What do you mean I’m in a hurry? That’s not true at all. Don’t talk nonsense.”
Yan Aohan laughed again, then put on a look of fear of his wife. “Alright, my wife is the boss.”
Zhu Yanyi made another funny face. “It was always my call.” She giggled.
Seeing Zhu Yanyi happy, Yan Aohan felt particularly joyful. The years of separation had not created any distance between them.
Zhu Yanyi cherished this bond even more. Being with Yan Aohan was something she had never dared to dream of. Now that they were together, trust was essential. Over the years, Yan Aohan had never betrayed her trust. So why would there be any distance?
Some say time fades feelings, but those people don’t understand the true nature of love. Time only hides feelings, allowing them to brew deeper and become more fragrant.
One day, when the opportunity arises, these hidden feelings will burst forth, becoming even more intense. Therefore, feelings do not fade. What fades is not true love.
Zhu Yanyi understood this, and Yan Aohan did too. So, no matter what, there would be no distance between them.
Zhu Yanyi didn’t ask where Yan Aohan was taking her. She trusted she wouldn’t bully her, so she stayed silent.
Seeing Zhu Yanyi’s relaxed demeanor, Yan Aohan suddenly moved to her side. “Wife, you haven’t kissed me.”
Zhu Yanyi looked at Yan Aohan. She said it seriously. “Wife, we’ve been apart for so long. Since we met, you haven’t properly kissed me yet.”
Zhu Yanyi was speechless. “How old are you, asking for kisses?”
Yan Aohan smiled lightly. “Age doesn’t stop me from asking for kisses.”
Her shameless look made Zhu Yanyi sigh helplessly. She leaned in and kissed her cheek.
“Wife, you’re too reserved. A kiss shouldn’t be like that.” she lowered her head and kissed her thoroughly, her way, before saying, “A kiss should be like this.”
Zhu Yanyi touched her slightly swollen lips, looking at Yan Aohan speechlessly. “Looking at you, it seems you gathered all your strength, wanting me to compensate you all at once.”
Yan Aohan replied, “All at once? How is that possible? I want to be with you for a long, long time. Once is definitely not enough.”
Zhu Yanyi was speechless. Her thick skin was beyond words.
But it also showed that time had not created distance between them. Instead, it had deepened their affection.
After his playful antics, Yan Aohan began to talk business. “The medicinal materials for Di Ting are all collected. I think we should resolve this matter sooner rather than later, so I’m taking you to treat Di Ting first.”
Zhu Yanyi knew Zhan Di Ting was no ordinary person. She had made medicine to repair her body; the rest she could do herself. She didn’t need her care. No wonder Yan Aohan said seven days would be enough.
“Actually, it won’t take seven days. I’ll take the materials into the Ruyi Space to refine them. I think there will be plenty of time,” Zhu Yanyi said.
Yan Aohan answered naturally, as if it were obvious. “We’ll use the extra time to get together and talk about our years apart. You can’t just take care of others and ignore me.”
Here, Yan Aohan couldn’t often appear by Zhu Yanyi’s side. All she could do was watch over her silently, but that wasn’t enough for them. As engaged couples who loved each other, this separation made her cherish every reunion even more.
“Okay, I understand. Then I’ll take good care of you,” Zhu Yanyi said, smiling.
“You should take good care of me,” Yan Aohan smiled, pushing Zhu Yanyi gently. Their time together was short, so now that they were reunited, they had to cherish every second.
Fortunately, the journey was long enough for Yan Aohan to satisfy his craving.
When they arrived at their destination, Zhu Yanyi discovered it was another small world.
“What is this place?” Zhu Yanyi asked curiously.
