Chapter 2737

The blacksmith from the forge stepped out, placing a tray on the counter. On it sat five swirling mists. "Customers, today’s five sets of Fantasy are ready. The rules remain the same: approach them one by one. The Fantasy will choose their masters. Once chosen, you may pay and take them."

"Great!" the crowd cheered, showing how eager they were.

A father and daughter came forward first. The girl was the one buying.

"It seems the owner must be present to buy a Fantasy," Zhu Yanyi said.

Emperor Yun nodded. "Indeed. Fantasy chooses its master. If the intended owner isn’t there, buying it is a waste of money. No one else can take it away. It is a rare treasure."

The father led her daughter to the mists. She passed the first, second, and third with no reaction. But when she reached the fourth, a faint blue light glowed from the mist.

"Congratulations, little girl. You may purchase number four," the blacksmith said with a smile.

The girl’s eyes lit up. She looked back at her father, who smiled, paid the money, and handed the mist to her.

As she held it, the mist slowly took shape. To everyone’s surprise, it formed into a small bird.

The girl beamed. "My Ayin is back."

Her father rubbed her head. "Yes, your Ayin is back. Let’s go home."

Hugging the bird, the girl walked away happily.

"That transformation doesn’t look like a mechanical work," Zhu Yanyi observed, watching the bird.

"The wonder of Fantasy is that it manifests what you miss most in your heart," Emperor Yun explained.

Zhu Yanyi laughed. "Interesting. If I didn’t have everything I need, I’d want to try it."

All five Fantasy were sold quickly. Zhu Yanyi did not participate.

Yan Aohan said, "You are my wife. Even if you lack something, I will find a way to get it for you."

"Do you two show off your love wherever you go?" Emperor Yun asked, looking slightly helpless.

"It’s natural," Yan Aohan replied. "We are husband and wife. We should show our love everywhere."

Emperor Yun shook his head. "To be honest, I don’t understand this. I do not cultivate the Path of Emotion."

"Actually, we don’t cultivate the Path of Emotion either," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "Among us eight, only the Fairy Empress cultivates that path. The rest of us do not."

"Yet your bond is deep and strong," Emperor Yun said, confused. "If you don’t cultivate the Path of Emotion, why do you value feelings so much?"

"Feelings exist regardless of the path one cultivates," Zhu Yanyi explained seriously. "My husband and I didn’t lose our love because we don’t follow that path. Instead, because we don’t rely on it, we cherish each other more. That is how we have supported each other until now."

Seeing Emperor Yun’s confusion, she paused and added, "It’s simple. We never thought our Dao was for cultivation alone. We cultivate for each other. Though we don’t follow the Path of Emotion, our bond is stronger than those who do."

Emperor Yun still didn’t understand. Zhu Yanyi shrugged. "If you don’t get it, I can’t help. Maybe you should try falling in love someday. Then you’ll understand."

Yan Aohan saw Emperor Yun’s puzzled look and chuckled, rubbing Zhu Yanyi’s head. "Don’t tease her like that."

She then turned serious, looking at Emperor Yun. "But my wife is right. To truly understand this, you should try loving someone. However, love isn’t something you can just find. All we can tell you is: if love comes, don’t hate it. Even if the person isn’t your type, hurting sincere feelings is wrong. So, be decisive. If you don’t like them, refuse clearly. If you do, think carefully."

"If you shouldn’t hurt them, why refuse?" Emperor Yun truly didn’t get it.

Zhu Yanyi glared at her. "If you don’t like someone but don’t refuse, you’re not a good man. You’re a scumbag. True love is singular, like having only one heart. You give one heart and one feeling to each person you love. If you can love several people at once, you’re a scumbag."

Emperor Yun was confused by love, but he understood this part.

"I remember the Empress’s warning. If I meet someone I like, I will cherish them. If not, I will be clear about it," Emperor Yun said. He now hoped to find such a person.

Yan Aohan smiled. "If you have the heart, you will find your love."

When love arises, no one knows when. So, there is no need to search for it deliberately. Of course, Yan Aohan wouldn’t say this directly.

Because he didn’t say it, when Emperor Yun’s feelings arose, he didn’t realize it. This led to his emotional tribulation.

At that moment, no one knew Emperor Yun would face such a tribulation, as his calmness was well-known to all.

"Have you two visited the Treasure Pavilion in the Divine Realm?" Emperor Yun asked. "It was opened by a former Emperor."

"Really? Where is it?" Yan Aohan asked.

"Just ahead. There are many good items inside. You can also consign your own treasures there for sale." Emperor Yun led them to the Treasure Pavilion.

Inside the Divine Realm Treasure Pavilion, there were indeed many rare treasures. Ordinary gods could buy items, but with restrictions. Ordinary gods could only shop on the first floor, while powerful gods shopped on the second or third floors.

Guided by Emperor Yun, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan skipped the first floor and went straight to the third.

"The items on the second floor are numerous, but not particularly rare," Emperor Yun explained.
