Heavenly Court Imperial Palace.
In the mist-shrouded rear garden, a clear, sweet child's voice echoed.
Ye Xuan wore white robes.
Having shed the lofty majesty of a Heavenly Emperor, he now bent down with a gentle smile.
Two exquisitely adorable little girls circled around him.
The girl on the left radiated pure life energy, like the Nine Heavens Profound Lady descending to the mortal world; the girl on the right had deep eyes, with faint laws of darkness flowing around her, giving her an eerie yet beautiful charm.
They were the daughters of Ye Xuan and the two Willow Deities.
Ever since these two little lives had been born, Ye Xuan had completely become a doting father.
He handed the many affairs of the Heavenly Court over to his subordinates, spending most of his time accompanying these two treasured daughters instead.
"Daddy, I want the Star Fruit from the highest place!" the little girl on the left cried in a childish voice.
She pointed at the dazzling river of stars above.
"All right, all right."
Ye Xuan chuckled.
Then, with a raised hand, a brilliant star in the heavens turned into a streak of light and descended, becoming a crystal-clear Spirit Fruit that landed steadily in his daughter's hand.
The little girl on the right refused to be outdone. Tugging at Ye Xuan's robe and pouting, she asked for Chaos Divine Liquid.
Ye Xuan granted their every request. Carefully feeding the divine liquid to his daughter, his face was filled with an indulgent smile.

Huo Ling'er wore a red dress. Resting her cheeks in her hands, her beautiful eyes were filled with envy.
Qingyi gently stroked the strings of her zither, her gaze drifting from time
