, only you and those two little ones can see me."I let out a breath of relief, that's good."Some things always need to be revered, and some rules always need to be followed, no matter if they are gods...That hand was broad and kind, with a touch of comfort, like a loving yet solemn elder soothing a lost younger one.

"Heavenly Venerable, where is he Can I still see him"

I closed my eyes and whispered softly my infatuation.

A solemn voice echoed from above, "Seven emotions and six desires cannot escape the clarity of karmic retribution. Five limbs and four extremities suffer most from the torment of wind and moon... His inner demon is your inner demon. Quickly go and eliminate his demonic obstacles, help him break free from demons and overcome adversity..."

The sound seemed to reverberate directly in my mind, deafening and shocking. I stared blankly as the lotus platform within the brilliance gradually faded, leaving only a little boy carrying a large gourd, grinning at me.

"Little Lady, let's go. I'll see you off."

I took a deep breath, gathering myself from the long haze of uncertainty.

"Where should I go" I asked.

He pouted and said, "Oh, my celestial lord didn't tell you He asked you to go and resolve your inner demons, and by the way, also resolve the Emperor's inner demons... Your inner demons are the same, hehe."

"I don't quite understand these immortal verses," I pleaded with the young boy, "could you please explain them clearly You keep saying I'm still young and that I wouldn't know how to subdue my heart demon. "

The little boy tilted his head and thought for a moment: "How do I put it A heart demon is something that drives you mad... As for how to quell a heart demon, that's finding a way that keeps you from going crazy and calms your mind... Hee hee, is that clear enough"

I nodded, saying "I understand."

It's just the longing that drives me crazy. If I could see him, where would I get this anxiety and fear of being separated from him

This mountain pierces the clouds, with white mist swirling around it. I felt a chill and rubbed my arms, looking at the little boy in the Taoist robe: "The dwelling place of the Heavenly Venerable is truly cold..."

“Huh Oh…only you would feel cold, I suppose. Everyone who comes here is immune to the heat and cold. You haven't reached that stage yet. Let me get you a robe…” He patted his head. “The last time the Emperor came, his cloak was left here. It'll do nicely for you.”

He dashed into the mountain gate, but I could only see this gate in front of me. I couldn't see the boundless scenery inside, perhaps because my cultivation is too shallow.

The cloak carried by the child, when I put it on, became a trailing tail. However, in this pure land of immortals, it doesn't matter.

He looked at my knee with concern and asked, “Can you still walk The Yin-Yang Nether Sea is a long way ahead. You can't just float through the air, and you wouldn't be able to ride a celestial beast anyway, you'll have to walk.”

My knee is bleeding, and I don't know if I've stained these white jade stone steps.

The little boy tilted his head and thought for a moment: “Let me get some lotus pond water. Washing the wound should make it heal… I’ve never treated a mortal’s body before.”

I sat at the foot of the mountain, hugging my knees, waiting for the little boy to come with his gourd filled with water from the lotus pond. He picked a leaf at random, dipped it in the lotus pond water, and applied it to my knee.

A chill spread across the wound on her knee as the lotus pond water seeped into the raw, broken flesh. She could see it healing quickly, turning a rosy pink.

"Tsk, mortal bodies are such a hassle. Even this lotus pond water, so divine and miraculous, can't instantly heal them... Eh, what did the Emperor use to treat your wounds back then" The little boy asked curiously.

I was taken aback. What did he use to treat my wound!

He… he used his own…

On the banks of the Yellow Springs River, my body was covered in wounds, as fine as a shredding blade, and blood had almost drained away. After he dragged me ashore and tossed me among the flowers, I was stripped bare and licked with meticulous care.

Back then, his cool tongue gently grazed the wound, and it truly healed quickly.

"You... can I borrow your gourd" I asked softly.

"What are you doing here" the child exclaimed in surprise.

“I want to use the lotus pond water from inside to save the gluttonous wolf… that’s a kid by my side. He jumped into the black blood of the Corpse Swamp to save Yu Gui and You Nan, his whole body was soaked in the poisonous blood of the corpse demons, he’s seriously injured, his skin keeps bleeding blood beads…” I thought of the pitiful sight of the gluttonous wolf, and couldn't help but feel my nose sour.

The little boy widened his eyes and asked, "Is he a mortal"

"Well, a child, though tall for his age, was only eleven."

The little boy's mouth formed an "O": "Mortal Child Jumping into the poison blood of a Corpse Demon and not dying!"

"Don't curse him, okay"

“Um… I’m surprised! This is no ordinary human anymore! Ordinary humans’ children are not very stable until they reach twenty years old. That means they are easily ‘cut short’. It has to do with the stability of their life soul, which relates to their lifespan. For example, if infected by zombie virus, a ten-year-old child might only last three or five days, while a man in his twenties could last for ten or fifteen days before becoming a living corpse.”

"Well... Qiyun said that the Greedy Wolf is a person with the Fiery Fate, with strong Fire Fate, so maybe he's quite special."

The little boy touched his chin and said, “If the Celestial Emperor finds it special, then I’ll send you to the Yin-Yang Nether Sea, and after that, I’ll go take a look at yours.”

"Can you help me save him" I reached out excitedly to grab the little boy, but my hand came up empty.

"Little Empress, don't be so agitated. My cultivation is too shallow, I don't know if I can save him. But this lotus pond water should help his bodily functions recover... As long as the corpse poison is removed, he should be alright."

"Okay, okay, okay! When I get back, I'll definitely set up a shrine for you at home and burn incense every day to show my gratitude for your kindness!" I quickly stood up.

The little boy burst into laughter: "You're the esteemed Empress Dowager of the Emperor! How dare I enjoy your incense Hehe... You're so kind, Little Empress, not a bit haughty... If you want to thank me, perhaps..."

He blushed and fidgeted a little.

What about it

"How about... we offer each other some candy" he whispered.

This!

Here it is!

I can't help but feel sorry for them—the Immortal Realm is too cruel to children, isn't there even candy

Immortals absorb wind and dew, drinking only clear tea and nectar, and eating only fresh fruits from the fairy realm. It is estimated that they do not have any mortal food.

"No problem, not just candy, pudding, snacks, milk... I'll give you all of it, in every way imaginable!" This temptation was simply too easy to resist!

His eyes sparkled: "Thank you, Little Madam! Let's go quickly! After you finish your business and dispel the demonic obstacle, come back! I'll go check on that boy named Gluttonous Wolf!"

I followed him toward the Yin Yang Nether Sea. I had no concept of what this place was until I saw a vast expanse of white waves.

Is this really the sea! Am I supposed to jump in from here! behave and don't cause trouble."He spoke to me in a low voice, right by my ear, and the tingling sensation was driving me crazy."This thing is too difficult to raise!" I couldn't help grinding my tee...
