Li Ye was difficult to appease. Even though this person’s voice was sweet and soft, he still maintained a cold expression, snorting through his nose: “You’re not hundreds of years old now.”

“My body isn’t, but my heart is.” Er’er grabbed his index finger and swayed it gently, smiling mischievously as she said, “Anyway, we’ll be living together in the future, whether it’s hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of years. What does age matter now?”

That was quite reasonable.

Li Ye softened his expression, pressing his lips together, feeling perhaps he was being too narrow-minded. Why should immortals care about age? Once her physical cultivation was complete, she would be the same as before.

But before he could calm down for long, several immortals came riding clouds from the distance.

“Greetings, Supreme God Li Ye.” The messenger immortal, carrying heavy lacquered boxes, landed before him with a face full of joy, bowing respectfully. “Upon hearing of your joyous occasion, our Gen clan has specially brought gifts. Please accept them.”

“Our Zhen clan as well.”

“These are gifts personally selected by Supreme God Qian Tian. Please have a look.”

Several boxes opened simultaneously, and the treasures inside emitted dazzling golden light.

…

…

Er’er immediately exclaimed “Wow!” and curiously asked Li Ye: “What happy event have you had recently that deserves such a grand ceremony?”

Li Ye was also confused. The protocols in the Nine Heavens were complicated, and these people wouldn’t easily come to flatter him, let alone have their rulers send gifts.

Perhaps they also knew about the disruption at the Moon Elder’s Island, which prevented immortal couples from being matched, so they simply sent gifts to comfort him, indicating they knew of his and Er’er’s happy news?

Li Ye’s eyes brightened.

As the golden light dispersed, the treasures in the boxes revealed their forms. Er’er peered in and saw they contained children’s gold-threaded clothes, auspicious locks, longevity locks, and a small spirit beast.

The items were quite valuable, but…

Er’er scratched her chin and asked the gift-bearing immortals with a forced smile: “Did your rulers send any messages?”

“Yes,” the Qian clan’s immortal hastily replied. “Supreme God Qian Tian offers congratulations to Supreme God Li Ye for finding his precious daughter, and wishes that your bloodline flows through the world for generations in good health.”

Li Ye: “…”

Er’er: “…”

The surrounding air suddenly became as sharp as if laced with blade edges, scraping painfully against one’s face.

The several immortal messengers hurriedly raised their sleeves to shield themselves, confusedly looking up to see the little girl on Supreme God Li Ye’s shoulder hugging him tightly, then frantically signaling to them: “Thank your immortal sects for your kindness, but the Supreme God doesn’t have a daughter yet. You should go back quickly.”

“But…” The immortal messengers looked at each other in confusion, still holding the gifts, not knowing what to do. One bolder one asked another question, “Aren’t you born of Supreme God Li Ye?”

“…No.” Caught between laughter and tears, Er’er sensed Li Ye’s intense anger and hurriedly hugged his head tighter, covering even his eyes. “Go quickly—”

Divine fire cascaded down from the red robe. The immortal messengers cried out in fear, hurriedly supporting each other as they fled back, turning their heads to witness the divine fire burning through half the sky.

Er’er stretched out her tender white hand to stroke his chest repeatedly: “They didn’t know, they didn’t know.”

Li Ye was furious: “You look like my daughter?”

Looking down at her own petite body, Er’er was silent for a moment, then smiled stiffly: “No, I don’t.”

Li Ye turned and left Taihe Immortal Gate, heading straight for the Nine Heavens.

“Hey, don’t be impulsive! Peace is hard-won. How can you go pick fights again?” Er’er tugged hard at his collar, her small face scrunched up. “This isn’t a big deal. It’ll be fine once I grow up.”

“I’m not going to fight anyone,” Li Ye said in a low voice.

Yeah, right! With the murderous energy emanating from him, Er’er feared that in a moment of impulse, he might again do something world-destroying.

However, when they reached the Qian clan’s immortal gate, Li Ye truly didn’t resort to violence.

He simply went to Qian Tian’s treasury and, right in front of Qian Tian, slipped his beloved golden phoenix into his sleeve.

Qian Tian smiled uncomfortably: “Hasn’t the Supreme God always disliked such showy but impractical items?”

“You regret it?”

“No, I was thinking of sending it as a gift to the Supreme God.” Qian Tian gritted his teeth. “I just thought it might not be suitable.”

“It’s quite suitable.” Li Ye calmly pointed to the person on his shoulder. “She will like it.”

Following his gesture, Qian Tian finally looked carefully at the little girl’s appearance, and his face immediately turned green.

This was disastrous.

Why had no one informed them that Immortal Er’er had undergone soul rebirth?

“About this matter…” he hurriedly opened his mouth to smooth things over, but Li Ye had already turned away, with an attitude that clearly said: I don’t want to hear a single word from you, you’re all just blind.

Qian Tian wiped his face heavily.

Looking innocently at Qian Tian, Er’er quietly began: “I don’t…”

“Hold this.” Shrinking the golden phoenix and placing it in her arms, Li Ye said, “This thing becomes alive when kept by your side and can even shell melon seeds for you.”

That was his Qian clan’s guardian treasure! It could subdue all gold artifacts in the world, transform wood into gold, and gold into fire—how could it be used for shelling melon seeds!

Qian Tian suppressed the blood welling in his heart. Glancing at Li Ye’s expressionless face, he didn’t dare speak out, only forcing himself to swallow it down before smiling: “Please, Immortal Er’er, take good care of it.”

Er’er felt somewhat embarrassed. She didn’t like taking others’ prized possessions, but seeing that Li Ye hadn’t resorted to violence was already the best outcome. She didn’t dare persuade him further and could only honestly hold the golden phoenix as she followed him to the next immortal gate.

This act of going to others’ immortal gates to seize their guardian treasures was tyrannical, shameful, and inhumane. Yet, from the Qian clan to the Kan clan, not a single person resisted.

By the time they reached the Kan clan, Er’er’s arms were already too full to carry anything more. She used her chin to push aside the treasures blocking her view and looked at Kan Ze with a mixture of laughter and tears: “Could your clan’s guardian treasure be a bit smaller?”

Kan Ze had likely received the news already. When they arrived, he was already standing at the entrance. Hearing her words, he smiled: “My Kan clan’s guardian treasure doesn’t require Supreme God Li Ye to come personally—it’s already with you.”

Er’er was startled, remembering the piece of jade inscribed with the character “Kan,” and was surprised: “That was a guardian treasure?”

“It can control all water sources in the world and summon wind and rain—indeed, it is a guardian treasure,” Kan Ze smiled. “You’ve just used it for other purposes.”

Li Ye coughed discontentedly.

As if just noticing him, Kan Ze turned to face him with clasped hands, then smiled: “I was just about to find you on a matter. Since you both are here, why not come in for a discussion?”

“Your guardian treasure is already gone, what else do I have to discuss with you?” Li Ye said coldly. “I don’t have time.”

With that, he turned to leave.

Kan Ze stood in place watching his back, sighing lightly: “The guardian treasure may be gone, but there’s still the heaven-stabilizing treasure. Don’t you want to ask if Er’er would like it?”
