This Is the Master's Husband

While Su Xiangxue was flying, Kazama Haruka gave Bai Qiuran and the others a lesson on the world's structure in Fusang.

First, there is Reed Plain Middle Country, where humans, Yaoguai, and other races live together. In Fusang, this refers to the Mortal World, which consists of those four islands that are not very large.

However, Fusang currently has a small population, and although it is incredible, according to Kazama Haruka, these four islands have been divided into more than sixty countries by the Daimyo within Fusang State.

They all nominally submit to the rule of the supreme ruler of Fusang State, but in reality, they are divided and ruled. The nominal supreme leader of Fusang's control over the country is also weakening day by day. According to Kazama Haruka, these countries are still fighting each other.

No wonder many places on Fusang Island look like they are in a state of utter misery.

Beneath Reed Plain Middle Country Root Stout Land, also known as Land of Yomi, the place where the dead go for Reincarnation. It was once ruled by the Heavenly Gods Izanami, but is now governed by Yama King.

The Fusang Gods doesn't seem to describe how the Land of Yomi was established, but Kazama Haruka said that her master told her that the Land of Yomi was created by a powerful being in ancient times.

Based on Bai Qiuran's estimation of the powerful beings from ancient times, this so-called Land of Yomi is probably just a police station under Xue Ling's command...

Judging from Kazama Haruka's nonchalant tone, there probably isn't anything particularly powerful among them.

Then there's High Plain of Heaven, the place they're heading to. In Fusang Gods, it's the abode of the Heavenly Gods, and even the Special Heavenly Deity who created them reside there.

However, Kazama Haruka told Bai Qiuran and the others that there are no true Heavenly Gods in this world anymore. High Plain of Heaven is actually the dwelling place of some nature Elves. The cultivation, worship, and establishment of their own beliefs by these nature Elves are all taught by the Fusang Immortal Palace.

As she spoke, Su Xiangxue had already passed through the clouds. Guided by Kazama Haruka, she passed through an Illusion Realm Magic Array that no one knew who had set up there, and entered High Plain of Heaven.

As its name suggests, High Plain of Heaven is an archipelago suspended in the air. Many buildings unique to Fusang have been built on the islands. It is spring-like all year round, and cherry blossoms bloom everywhere like pink snowflakes, which is similar to the Cloud Continent in the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou.

However, compared to the Cloud Continent, whose area is comparable to that of a state, this place is far too small.

When Su Xiangxue's enormous dragon body emerged from the clouds, the inhabitants of High Plain of Heaven were thrown into chaos. Su Xiangxue's demonic body was only slender compared to other Monster Race of the same level, but it was still several hundred meters long. Such Behemoths was beyond the imagination of the inhabitants of Fusang Island.

Therefore, the moment they leaped into the clouds, Bai Qiuran and the others saw many "gods" of various shapes and sizes flying out of this sky archipelago. They wore robes or armor in the style of Fusang, and some of them had strange halos or huge ropes on their backs.

Fortunately, as a member of the Fusang Immortal Palace, Kazama Haruka seemed to hold a high position here. Relying on her connections, she managed to persuade these Fusang "Heavenly Gods" to return.

After the local gods left, Kazama Haruka Bai Qiuran and her group to an isolated island suspended high in the sky. Unlike other islands, this island had no other buildings except for a wooden pier and a weather vane.

"This is the Spaceship docking station."

Kazama Haruka explained, "I've already sent out a signal, Spaceship will be here soon to take us to the Fusang Immortal Palace."

After waiting for a moment, the group was suddenly greeted by a burst of golden light in the eastern sky.

It was as if a golden sun had appeared in the sky over there, the Cloudmist were surging, and then a huge Ships with full sails broke through the Cloudmist and slowly sailed out from the sea of clouds.

Two thick Iron Chains extended from the front of the Ships, connecting to the sea of clouds ahead. There, a massive black Black Tortoise, as large as a mountain, rode the clouds and pulled the Spaceship toward the island.

Grandpa, it's been a long time.

Kazama Haruka waved to the Black Tortoise Spaceship, and the Behemoths slowly nodded in response.

The Spaceship successfully docked, and then a flight of steps descended from the ship, where a beautiful woman in a black kimono stood.

"Grandmother!"

Upon seeing this woman, Kazama Haruka went to greet her.

"Yes, I heard from the host that you brought guests back."

The beautiful woman in black patted Kazama Haruka's head affectionately, then she looked up and saw Bai Qiuran standing at the very front.

She paused for a moment, then released Kazama Haruka and quickly walked over amidst the latter's puzzled gaze. Then—amidst the horrified gazes of Kazama Haruka and the group of curious "Fusang Gods" gathered around by High Plain of Heaven, she slowly knelt down before Bai Qiuran.

"This servant Lin Rui."

The woman in black bowed her head and said, "Greetings, sir."

"Cough."

Su Xiangxue started coughing.

"Who are you..."

Bai Qiuran carefully examined the beautiful woman in black. The aura emanating from her seemed somewhat familiar, yet subtly different.

Moreover, the fragrance emanating from the other person had a strange, sweet-smelling fishy scent. Bai Qiuran took a couple of breaths and suddenly felt a tickle on her nose.

He paused for a moment, then pointed at the Human Path, "Could you be Lan'er's snake?"

"It is indeed this servant."

Lin Rui remained prostrate and replied, "The poison that Master mixed into that Nectar Tree was made from my own Poison."

"I see."

Bai Qiuran nodded.

"You should get up first."

Lin Rui stood up from the ground. At this moment, Kazama Haruka, who was still in shock, also came to her senses and quickly walked over to ask, "Grandma, what exactly happened?"

"This is the master's husband."

"Lin Rui answered."

In other words...

Kazama Haruka was so surprised she couldn't speak.

"Yes."

Lin Rui said, "In other words, he is also the male master of the Fusang Immortal Palace."

At the same time, Su Xiangxue came to Bai Qiuran's side and asked him, "Qiuran, who is this...?"

"She was Lan'er's pet."

Bai Qiuran glanced at Lin Rui.

"He should have achieved success in his cultivation and taken Shapeshift by now."

Su Xiangxue looked at the Lin Rui, whose depths she herself could not discern, and felt a chill run down her spine.

She couldn't even tell the true nature of this pet, let alone its owner.

"Are they the master's confidantes in this era?"

Lin Rui walked over, glanced at Su Xiangxue and Tang Ruowei, and asked.

"Disciple, disciple's friend."

Bai Qiuran introduced the two of them again, despite Li Jinyao's displeased look, and then glanced at Su Xiangxue.

"In other words, only this one is... I understand."

Lin Rui bowed to each of the three women, then said, "Please board the ship first, so as not to keep the master waiting."
