To be honest, Feng Jiu’s feelings at that moment were rather complicated. The Azure Emperor had shielded Yue’er from the heavenly tribulation’s lightning and helped her overcome the tribulation of life and death; the bond between the two of them would surely only grow deeper.

Watching her daughter, who was supporting the Azure Emperor with a look of anxiety and concern on her face, and recalling the divine soul energy surging through her earlier, as well as the words she had spoken to the Azure Emperor—"Master, I’m back"—

She knew her daughter had regained her memories from her past life.

Feng Jiu let out a soft sigh. Well then, children have their own destinies. Whatever her future holds, it is entirely up to her to decide. As her Mother, all she could do was support her and offer her blessings.

"Protecting her is my duty," said the Azure Emperor, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"Master!"

Yue’er’s eyes reddened slightly, her heart clenching in anxiety as she looked at her Mother: "Mother, Mother, please save Master! Mother..."

"Let’s return to the Immortal Island first!" Feng Jiu said. With a wave of her hand, a spatial teleportation array appeared before them.

"You all go back! I’m going to visit an old friend, so I won’t be joining you," Mo Chen smiled at them and said gently.

"Alright," Feng Jiu replied, adding, "Come visit us sometime."

"Mm hmm," Mo Chen nodded, then lightly touched the ground with his toes, soaring into the air and riding the wind until he vanished from their sight.

"Shen Shiqi." Feng Jiu turned to Shen Shiqi, who was still standing there in a daze, and smiled.

"Yes." Shen Shiqi snapped out of his daze and replied quickly.

"You’re Yue’er’s friend. In a while, have her bring you to the island to visit." Feng Jiu said with a smile.

Hearing this, not only was Shen Shiqi pleasantly surprised, but the few Shen family members behind him were overjoyed as well.

"Alright, thank you, Phoenix Empress," he said quickly, bowing his hands in a gesture of respect.

Yue’er, supporting the Azure Emperor, said to Shen Shiqi, "I’ll take my master back first. We’ll get in touch with you later." With that, she helped the Azure Emperor into the teleportation array.

Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu also stepped inside. As the teleportation array vanished, the group disappeared from the spot, leaving only Shen Shiqi and the others standing there.

Three days later, on the Immortal Island.

"Mother, why hasn’t my master woken up yet?" Yue’er asked her mother, looking at the Azure Emperor on the bed.

"He’s been asleep for three days since we returned. His injuries have been gradually healing over the past couple of days, so I expect he’ll wake up tomorrow." Feng Jiu said, handing her a small vial: "This is a potion I just refined. Apply it to his back, and once he’s healed, there won’t be any scorched scars left."

"Thank you, Mother." Yue’er took it and held it in her hand.

Looking at her, Feng Jiu paused for a moment before asking, "Yue’er, what are your plans from here on out?"

Yue’er turned to face her, thought for a moment, and said, "Mother, once Master’s injuries have healed a bit, I want to accompany him back to Yunxiao Mountain."

Hearing this, Feng Jiu paused and asked, "Yue’er, have you fallen in love with the Azure Emperor?"

Hearing these words, Yue’er froze for a moment, then broke into a smile. "Mother, when I underwent that tribulation, I regained my memories from my past life. I remembered every little thing Master did for me back then, as well as the years Master and I spent together on Yunxiao Mountain."

She reached out and took her hand, saying, "I know that Master has always treated me only as his disciple. He cares for me and spoils me—I know all of that. I’ve known it since my past life. Since my past life, my heart has been filled with thoughts of Master. But I didn’t dare say it, nor did I dare let him know. I was afraid that if he found out, he would drive me away from Yunxiao Mountain, away from his side."
