Dao Equaling the Heavens

Spirit Charm Mountain Immortal Mansion, the residence of Gu Wen and the other two.

Yu Hua, as usual, is sewing clothes, with fine needles and dense stitches. Feathered garments and robes, accompanied by the misty spiritual energy of the Immortal Mansion, make her resemble the legendary weaver girl.

She has been reincarnated for over a hundred years now, which can be considered her most peaceful century.

Initially, Yu Hua devoted much effort to Gu Wen, her attention almost entirely on him. The two were like young lovers tasting forbidden fruit for the first time, almost inseparable.

After thirty years, the passion subsided, and they settled into the state of old spouses, marking the beginning of Yu Hua's true reconciliation with Chi Yu Zi.

She began to pay attention to "world affairs and the affairs of the people," and she started intervening in the workings of Little Heaven and Earth's society.

After another ten years, Yu Hua lost interest in her career, also realizing that the development of Little Heaven and Earth had already reached a bottleneck.

Once everyone had achieved a comfortable standard of living and no longer needed to struggle for survival, her efforts were only about patching up some loopholes.

In Gu Wen's words: "What the people truly need, only history can tell. Just let things take their course; anyway, everyone at least has enough to eat and won't starve."

As the Master of Heaven and Earth, Gu Wen never interfered with social development or the life of the people. He would only make a slight move when requested by relatives like Li Yunshang.

"Yu Hua Sister~"

A crisp voice, carrying a hint of pleading, entered her ears, as a pair of pure white hands hugged Yu Hua from behind.

Chi Yu Zi's petite and exquisite body pressed against her back, with her chin resting on her shoulder, saying: "Why do you always use mundane fabric to weave? Once these clothes are worn out after a retreat, they're old and wrinkled again, and even without a retreat, you need to change them every year."

"Because they need to be changed when worn out, allowing us to feel the passage of time, reminding us that time hasn't been wasted."

Yu Hua gave a profound answer, which Chi Yu Zi understood but did not quite agree with, saying: "Pursuing the life of mortals, why should one cultivate? Both Little Heaven and Earth and the cultivation world, most people cultivate to achieve immortality and transcend mortality."

Being mortal is very hard; Chi Yu Zi experienced this back in the Immortal Land. Just having her cultivation suppressed made her feel breathless, and she would prefer death over completely losing her cultivation.

Yu Hua's way of life, from Chi Yu Zi's perspective, was akin to feigning happiness while enduring suffering, dragging herself into hardship.

Three meals a day, seasonal clothing rotation, eating grains and vegetables, bathing before sleep, along with various rules.

Yu Hua said, "You'll understand after becoming Immortal; the disappearance of a big limit causes you to lose perception of time. And since I didn't become Immortal by my own power, my personal will is difficult to resist the body of an Immortal; some external help is needed."

Having said that, she continued sewing clothes.

"But we're not mortals, can't be completely like them, right?" Chi Yu Zi revealed her intentions: "Like dual cultivation, only a few hours a night, not even enough for a Grand Circulation, and we haven't gone out to play for a long time."

"But since you're not truly practicing cultivation power, everything needs to be moderate; we have plenty of time, no need to rush."

Yu Hua's voice was clear and calm, yet permeated with a sense of tranquility. Her hand moved the needle smoothly, as if the flow of time, with ancient trees and shade forever present.

This is one of the costs of borrowing fruit to become immortal, making Yu Hua's already cold temperament even more composed and unhurried, and that's why she's the master at home.

Ferocious as Chi Yu Zi may be, she could only hold onto her arm, sweetly pleading: "I feel a bottleneck approaching, needing Gu Wen to lend a helping hand. Yu Hua Sister, please let me have an exception. Just a month, a month will do, let's go for a spring outing for a month."

"How impolite; you should call him husband."

Yu Hua sighed, saying: "Just a month, after a month we come back; I do not enjoy human activities, so I will not go out."

Chi Yu Zi sweetly said: "Thank you, Yu Hua Sister!"

"What's happening that's so pleasing?"

Gu Wen walked in from outside the door, saw the two Daoist partners snuggling together, and also went to embrace them, inhaling the fragrance of their hair.

"Without decorum, how is cuddling and hugging decent in broad daylight."

Yu Hua frowned slightly, looking very much like an old-fashioned person.

Gu Wen was already accustomed to his Daoist partner's abstinent nature, instead, he embraced more unrestrainedly, cheekily laughing: "There's no outsider here, why so much decorum between husband and wife, right Chi Yu Zi?"

Chi Yu Zi repeatedly nodded: "Gu Wen is right."

"Are there couples who address each other by their names?"

Yu Hua showed helplessness, but did not resist.

She was already accustomed, after all, living together for decades, and they'll have at least tens of thousands of years ahead.

Even if bickering every few days, there's always a day to tire; fighting over jealousy for hundreds of years will eventually return to peace. Time will gradually strip them of the short-lived species concept, as long as they continue living together, conflicts will eventually resolve.

Yu Hua remained a principle: They have ample time, problems that can't be solved are temporarily set aside.

Gu Wen asked: "So what's making you so happy?"

Chi Yu Zi radiantly smiled: "Yu Hua Sister agreed to let us go out and have fun, let's go out drinking. I heard that after mortals achieved prosperity, they've created all sorts of new wines."

"How long can you go?"

"A month, after this trip I will retreat, striving to become Immortal soon."

"Then go prepare, we'll set off soon."

"Are you in such a hurry?"

Chi Yu Zi expressed doubts, then did not think much, got up to leave the room, preparing what was needed for travel and spring outing.

Money, itinerary, places, and so on.

Inside the room were only Yu Hua and Gu Wen left, the two snuggled together, the former sewing with needle and thread, asking slowly and unhurriedly: "Did you encounter something?"
