Guo Jing's Happy Life

Peach Blossom Forest.

Across from Chen Yu sat a middle-aged man. He was tall and lean, with refined features, an easygoing air, and eyes so bright he seemed like an immortal. Dressed in a long azure robe with a matching square kerchief on his head, he looked every bit the cultured gentleman.

"How has Senior Huang's cultivation been progressing?"

This extraordinary middle-aged man was none other than Huang Rong's father, Huang Yaoshi. After discussing it, Huang Rong and the others had decided that Chen Yu should proceed from easy to difficult, step by step. Naturally, his first stop was Huang Rong's world.

"Haha, it feels quite good."

Huang Yaoshi smiled. His daughter had encountered a great opportunity, and he had benefited alongside her.

Aside from Chen Yu and Han Li, everyone else in the group had brought someone to Ye Fan's place to cultivate. Naturally, Huang Rong had brought Huang Yaoshi.

"Father, little brother, dinner's ready—"

At that moment, a crisp and pleasant voice rang out. Chen Yu turned at the sound, his gaze falling beneath the eaves.

At some point, Huang Rong had appeared there. She wore white, her sash fluttering gently in the wind and making her seem even more ethereal. Her skin was fairer than snow and her beauty was peerless; one glance made people afraid to look again, as though even an extra moment of staring would be presumptuous. Her long hair draped over her shoulders, loosely tied with only a golden ribbon. Its gleam accentuated her flawless radiance.

Huang Yaoshi slowly rose to his feet, the hem of his robe swaying lightly. With a smile, he raised a hand in invitation and said warmly, "Young friend, please."

Chen Yu left his seat, stepped aside, and gave a slight bow. "Senior first, please."

Host and guest had their proper order; etiquette could not be neglected. Chen Yu moved aside and respectfully waited for him to proceed.

Huang Yaoshi nodded slightly without standing on ceremony, then stepped forward.

Chen Yu and Huang Rong flew side by side through the air, with the boundless sea stretching below them.

After eating, Chen Yu left Peach Blossom Island together with Huang Rong.

Huang Yaoshi knew why Chen Yu had come and did not try to keep him. Besides, Chen Yu had already copied and taken away every type of book he had collected.

The Record of Ten Thousand Daos did not necessarily need to take away the original books to collect them; it could consume energy to make copies. The amount of energy consumed was not fixed. If a book contained the insights and Dao aura of powerful experts, it would naturally require more energy.

Before coming here, Chen Yu had stored plenty of Divine Spring Water within the Lotus Platform. Forget the books of one martial arts world—even several hundred worlds like this could be packed away.

Huang Rong tilted her head toward Chen Yu beside her. "Where do you want to go first, little brother? The Quanzhen Sect, the Beggars' Sect, Dali, or Mongolia?"

"Anywhere is fine." Chen Yu smiled faintly. "We have to visit them all anyway, so the order doesn't matter. Wherever Sister Rong wants to go, we'll go."

"Since you put it that way, then I'll take you somewhere first to meet a few people."

"There's a surprise."

Huang Rong gave a mysterious smile and flew off with Chen Yu in another direction.

Since there was a surprise, Chen Yu did not ask further. If he knew in advance, could it still be called a surprise? So he obediently followed Huang Rong.

The two landed outside a small town. Huang Rong first bought some gifts before taking Chen Yu to visit her friends.

What puzzled Chen Yu, however, was that Huang Rong had bought rattles, tiger-head shoes, tiger-head hats, and other things meant for children. What child was important enough to receive Huang Rong's care?

Soon, a small village came into view, and Huang Rong led Chen Yu inside.

"Sister Mu, Hua Zheng, I've come to see you."

Chen Yu's footsteps abruptly halted. Sister Mu? Could that be Mu Nianci? And Hua Zheng... could she be Mongolia's Princess Hua Zheng?

After a while, Chen Yu came back to himself and quickly caught up with Huang Rong. He looked in the direction she was heading.

Before a courtyard, two elderly women each held a child in their arms. The children were only about one or two years old. An elderly man nearby was amusing them, while two young women and a young man stood nearby watching the heartwarming scene.

Upon hearing Huang Rong's voice, everyone looked over. When they saw her, their faces lit up, and the young man and women approached with broad smiles.

"Sister Rong, it's been quite some time since you last came."

"Yes, you have to stay a few more days this time. After you left last time, the two little ones made a fuss for quite a while."

The two young women spoke one after the other. Though both wore coarse linen clothes, they could not conceal their delicate and stunning beauty.

"Ahem, I've been busy lately. I was only passing by today, so I came to see the two little ones."

"This is my friend, Chen Yu."

Huang Rong stopped them before they could continue. She was an unmarried young lady—how could she frequently come and disturb them? It would be troublesome if rumors spread. She did not want to disrupt someone else's family.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Chen Yu."

Seeing everyone turn their attention to him, Chen Yu politely greeted them as well. He was now extremely curious about what Huang Rong had done after returning from cultivation.

Just as Huang Rong had said, they were merely passing through. They left after staying for only an hour.

Before leaving, Chen Yu infused every person with a drop of diluted Divine Spring Water. Living to a hundred would not be a problem. He gave some to the two children as well. Nourished by Divine Spring Water from childhood, their innate talent and physique would surely be exceptional once they grew up.

By then, Chen Yu had figured out these people's identities. They were Guo Jing, Mu Nianci, Princess Hua Zheng, Guo Jing's mother, Yang Tiexin, and Bao Xiruo.

Before Chen Yu joined the group, Xiao Yan had already spoiled the story for Huang Rong. Although Huang Rong had decided not to become Lady Guo, she still could not stand Yang Kang. So she had brought Huang Yaoshi out to travel, "coincidentally" met Guo Jing, and "accidentally" let slip Guo Jing's identity. She put an end to the martial arts marriage contest, after which Yang Tiexin arranged Guo Jing and Mu Nianci's engagement.

For safety's sake, they had not immediately brought back Guo Jing's mother. Only after Huang Rong returned from cultivation did she forcefully visit Mongolia, suppress its entire territory with her pressure, and take away Guo Jing's mother and Princess Hua Zheng.

And just like that, Guo Jing gained two beautiful wives. Mu Nianci was gentle on the outside but strong within, kind and upright; Princess Hua Zheng was frank and sincere, pure and true. Chen Yu was envious. He even wanted to take Guo Jing's place and enjoy such a happy, wonderful life here.

Mu Nianci had borne Guo Jing a daughter, while Princess Hua Zheng had borne him a son. To thank Huang Rong, Guo Jing's family let her name both children. In the end, she did not change the girl's name; she was still called Guo Fu. The boy was named Guo Xin—new beginnings, a new life, and a symbol of their family's new life.

Chen Yu looked at Huang Rong. Why had he never encountered such a kind person who delivered beautiful wives to him?

Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about Guo Jing and began attending to his own business.

With Chen Yu and Huang Rong's strength, no one else could detect them. They easily copied away all the martial arts manuals.

Even so, it took them more than two months to finish—the greater part of that time had been spent sightseeing and enjoying themselves. Their relationship also became especially close during that period.

Before leaving, however, Chen Yu brought Huang Rong to an island and purged its inhabitants. He swept through it three times, back and forth, ensuring that not a single person was left alive. Since they had come to this world, there was no need for the Little Island Nation to exist. While acting, he also explained to Huang Rong why he was doing this.

He then purged the Japanese pirates between the Little Island Nation and Great Song as well. If they could still rise from the ashes after that, he would return another time and clean them up again.

After finishing all this, Chen Yu gazed at the sky and murmured, "I wonder if doing this will earn me any merit."
