Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

Chapter 211 I really want to hit him!

Three years later.

Through Bei Yan'an's persistent efforts, Gu Yue finally granted him a formal status.

In no time, the news of the regent's upcoming marriage spread throughout Chang'an.

In the teahouse, many people were discussing this matter.

"The Regent has finally won the heart of his beauty; it wasn't easy!"

"That's right, that's right! The little princess is already so grown up. If the prince doesn't get a proper title soon, he might have to watch his daughter get married before him!"

"Hahahaha! You're right!"

During these three years, Gu Yue was always busy, as if she wanted to make up for all the time she had been asleep, and would often take Gu Meng out to play.

The common people often saw their cold-blooded regent going around searching for his queen. At first, they found it novel, but later they got used to it.

They had all met Gu Yue. Not only was he outstanding in appearance, but he was also very approachable. He would often set up a simple shop in Jin Yi Trading Company and help some ordinary people get medical treatment without asking for anything in return.

Over time, Gu Yue's popularity in Chang'an City even surpassed that of Bei Yan'an.

Two young men sat by the window, listening to the crowd making fun of their prince.

"Judging from what they're saying, it seems that the prince must love his wife very much," one of them remarked, slowly waving his fan.

"Hmm," the other person replied indifferently.

The people at the next table overheard their conversation and said with a smile, "You're not locals, are you? Everyone knows how much our prince loves his princess, otherwise he wouldn't have waited until now to get married!"

"Yes, yes, but with Miss Gu Yue being so wonderful, it's no wonder the Prince likes her so much!"

The person fanning themselves stopped and looked at the next table. "You guys say that princess's name is Gu Yue?"

The person at the next table nodded. "That's right, our young princess also takes her mother's surname and is named Gu Meng. By the way, do you know Miss Gu Yue?"

The two young men exchanged a glance and then smiled. "What a coincidence, isn't it? I know both of them."

After Ji Chen paid the bill, the two went outside, asked some passersby for directions, and headed towards the Regent's Palace.

"I never expected that Gu Meng would actually be Senior Gu Yue's daughter!" Ji Chen exclaimed.

Among alchemists, apart from those from the Dan Sect, Gu Yue was the most famous among the independent cultivators back then. Her superb alchemy skills made many people want to become her apprentices.

However, for some reason, she suddenly disappeared at the height of her fame. And now, she has reappeared here, and is even going to become a queen in the mortal realm.

“Although they both share the surname Gu, it’s really unexpected,” Lu Yunqi added.

Ji Chen recalled the stubborn but soft-hearted little girl from back then, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. "I wonder what that child is like now."

Suddenly, an unknown object pierced through the crowd with perfect precision, accompanied by a strong gust of wind, and hurtled towards Ji Chen's head.

As if sensing something, Ji Chen suddenly turned around and grabbed the thing. He opened his hand and looked at what he was holding with a puzzled expression.

Candied hawthorn?

"So, whose child were you calling just now?"

Ji Chen looked up at the sound and gazed in the direction from which the candied hawthorn had flown.

Gu Meng, dressed in a pale yellow dress, was walking towards them, carrying a bag of freshly made candied hawthorns.

Three years have passed, and Gu Meng's originally delicate features have gradually matured. Perhaps it's because she has spent so much time with Gu Yue, but her eyes are becoming more and more like her mother's, with her peach blossom eyes exuding liveliness and playfulness.

Ji Chen smiled and said, "Oh, it's Xiao Meng'er! You've grown so tall!"

Ji Chen gestured with his hand, indicating that Gu Meng was almost up to his chest.

Seeing his smug look, Gu Meng couldn't help but throw the hawthorn in her hand at his face again.

Ji Chen caught it again and put it in his mouth. "It's been so long since we last met, and you're offering me hawthorn berries right away! Thank you so much, Xiao Meng'er!"

Gu Meng: "..."

I really want to punch him!

Lu Yunqi was speechless at Ji Chen's attitude and reminded him, "Don't you have important business to attend to?"

Ji Chen finally remembered and said to Gu Meng, "Little Meng'er, I'm here to find your mother. My master has a message for her. Could you please lead the way, Little Meng'er?"

Gu Meng frowned slightly. What does the sect leader of the Dan Sect want with his mother?

Despite thinking this way, Gu Meng still led the way for them.

Because she was getting married, Gu Yue was unusually able to lie in the palace, leisurely basking in the sun.

"Senior, this is what my master asked me to give you."

Ji Chen dropped his casual demeanor in front of Gu Yue, handed her the letter his master had given him before his departure, and then stood aside.

Gu Meng rolled her eyes silently upon seeing this.

"Master! Master!" the Azure Light Cauldron suddenly exclaimed excitedly.

"Gu Meng possesses a divine artifact! I sense it! It's her!"

After saying that, the Azure Cauldron appeared and kept circling around Gu Meng.

Gu Yue raised an eyebrow. "This is... the Azure Light Cauldron?"

Why does it look like a puppy?

"Jiuli! It's you! I can't be wrong!" Qingguang Ding exclaimed excitedly.

"It's so noisy! Who's calling me?"

Jiu Li rubbed her eyes as she came out, yawned deeply, and sat on Gu Meng's shoulder.

Then, she saw the blue-green cauldron swaying up and down.

"Xiao Qing?" Jiu Li asked hesitantly.

"It's me! It's me! You still remember me!"

Ji Chen couldn't help but cover his face as he looked at the scene before him.

Both are divine artifacts, so why does his Azure Light Cauldron look so worthless?

Xiao Meng'er's artifact looks very powerful, and even its spirit is in human form!

The two divine artifacts hadn't seen each other for nearly a thousand years, so naturally they had a lot to say to each other upon meeting.

Gu Yue put away the letter. "Alright, I understand. I'll go find him after I get married."

"Yes," Ji Chen nodded.

He didn't know the contents of the letter, only that his master had sent him to deliver it when he heard the news that Senior Gu Yue had reappeared.

"You can stay and have a drink at the wedding. By the way... could I borrow that Azure Light Cauldron?" Gu Yue rubbed her hands together and said with a smile.

No alchemist could refuse to use the Azure Light Cauldron to refine pills.

Ji Chen replied politely, "If it's willing..."

Upon hearing this, Jiu Li nudged the Azure Light Cauldron, "Quickly agree."

Qingguang Ding hurriedly replied, "Yes! Yes!"

Gu Yue's smile grew even brighter, while Ji Chen was utterly exasperated.

Xiaoqing! Can't you bring some honor to your master?!

Gu Yue acted quickly, leading the Azure Light Cauldron toward the alchemy room, and before leaving, she didn't forget to tell Gu Meng.

"Tell your father not to bother me. I will come out on my wedding day."

Gu Meng nodded to indicate that she understood.

Gu Yue then looked at Ji Chen and Lu Yunqi, "You two should stay here for now. I reckon it won't be long before more people come..."
