Chapter 1885 “Reunion (1)”

“Suzaku,” Bai Yan pinches her eldest’s nose before turning to the phoenix woman, “I will be leaving the four of you in charge of the Demon Realm while we’re away. If anything happens, contact me immediately, understand?”

She and Suzaku have a contract in their bodies so passing on the message would be as simple as a will of their mind.

“Don’t worry Mistress, I will be here in the Demon Realm until your return.” Nodding in confirmation, the phoenix gives off an air of confidence and reliability.

Holding the twins with both hands, Bai Yan led the way in front: “We’re leaving, I’ll take you two to meet your grandshifus.”

……

It’s another year of plentiful blossoming for the peach trees on the island where Bai Yan once called her home of the Holy Land. It’s beautiful and serene here, but not all was at it may seem from the surface.

Standing on the edge of the lake surrounding the island, several disciples of this great power curiously voiced their opinion as they took in this sight.

“I didn’t expect such beautiful scenery to be in the Holy Land, but…. why is such a good place not being used by the little princess? (Chu Yi Yi) Can it be, this is where the lord’s deceased wife once lived?”

Another disciple to one side immediately sent a look at this ignorant peer of hers as she shot the theory down. “You are new so it’s normal that you don’t know. However, there are some things you must not spout without the pertinent details.”

“Senior Sister Zhang Yun, does that mean you know about the Holy Island’s secret?” The girl in pink turned her head to look at the older female disciple known as Zhang Yun, her bright green eyes curious and nosy.

“That is of course. It is said that the master of this island is the strongest person of the human world, and she’s also the apprentice of the three great elders. Even the Holy Lord and Princess are extremely fond of her, making her position within the Holy Land equivalent to the Holy Lord himself.” Zhang Yun crosses her arms around the chest and gloats her chin high like some superior lecturing their subordinates, “Such a person is one that we should all aspire to be. Sadly, I’m afraid even meeting that person would be impossible…”

The pink girl popped her mouth into a round shape at this incredible story: “But I have been in the Holy Land for nearly two years, why have I never seen her? Is she not coming back to the Holy Land?”

“Who knows?” Zhang Yun shook her head, “I heard that she married and followed her husband to some far-off place. The three great elders believe she would return soon though, that’s why we’re all cleaning the Holy Land of late.”

“But isn’t the Holy Island’s owner the strongest person in the human world already, what man can win her heart?” The pink girl sways her hip left and right like an innocent maiden that’s captivated by this wondrous story, “If I were her, I would rather be on my own since I already have such strength. It wouldn’t sit well with me to be overshadowed by a man when I can clearly be at the forefront.”

“Don’t mess around, that kind of thinking is best kept to yourself.” Zhang Yun hurriedly pulled her peer over and cusped her running mouth so other unrelated disciples wouldn’t hear, “Before I was only a disciple at the outer ring, that’s why I never got to meet that incredible woman. But her deeds and achievements, just listening to some of the stories from the older seniors would get my heart burning with excitement. And guess what, I heard she already has a son before coming to the Holy Land….”
