My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Chapter 378 Something Involving Participation

"Could it be... Young friend already knows the positions of the Stele Eyes?" Daoist Yunlong asked tentatively.

Gu Lan's smile deepened, and she nodded lightly.

"If Daoist can figure this out, it seems your understanding of the art of celestial mechanisms has advanced another level..."

"Young friend, until we meet again!"

Before Gu Lan could finish speaking, Daoist Yunlong immediately unleashed his escape light and returned to the Tianji Ancestry Land. After busying herself for half a day, Gu Lan had taken care of everything she needed to do outside.

"Young friend, your surprises really hurt Daoist Yunlong!"

Daoist Yunlong hastened the speed of his escape light. Long-time dealings with extraordinary individuals like Gu Lan would inevitably make an old man feel inadequate.

"Elder, you forgot your whisk!" Gu Lan called from behind.

Ahead, the escape light hesitated for a moment. The next instant, it slipped away even faster.

"Haha!"

Gu Lan shook her head with a smile, picked up the whisk, and decided that she would return it to Daoist Yunlong next time she visited the Tianji Pavilion.

The journey was uneventful. Gu Lan returned to the Jing Nation Capital City. Her first stop was the palace, where she summoned all the Demon Clan masters and informed them of the locations of the three core array eyes.

When the array masters of the Demon Clan learned that the core array eyes were Stele Eyes, their eyes lit up with excitement. Their gazes toward Gu Lan became even more worshipful.

Only the female Enchanting Demon array master showed a hint of doubt and asked, "There are four Stele Eyes in the mortal realm, but we are setting up only three core array eyes. Could there be any hidden dangers?"

Upon hearing this, the other array masters in the room furrowed their brows. They didn't find the Enchanting Demon's statement unreasonable; rather, they thought her suggestion quite logical. At the same time, they were also puzzled by Gu Lan's arrangement.

"Heh!"

"Take another look at the array diagram I've given you. Are you sure there are only three core array eyes marked on it?"

Gu Lan chuckled softly and pointed at the giant array diagram behind the group of Demon Clan masters.

On the side, Mu Yuyan stealthily listened in the shadows. Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at the giant array diagram.

She saw Ling Mountain of the Western Buddhist Sect, Demon Realm's Immortal Desolation Cliff, and the East Sea Dragon Palace, standing as the three pillars, with the Jing Nation naturally positioned in the center.

In an instant, Mu Yuyan understood.

Originally, all the core array eyes were merely auxiliary. From the beginning, the grand blueprint constructed by her husband had only one array eye, which was the entire Jing Nation!

The implication behind this was self-evident.

Mu Yuyan looked at Gu Lan, and their eyes met. They exchanged a meaningful glance.

"Daddy! I found you!"

"Huh!"

"Mommy's here too!"

"Mommy found Daddy even faster than Little Suan Ni, amazing!"

Simu sat on little Suan Ni, smiling at her daddy and mommy, her eyes gleaming mischievously.

Mu Yuyan's cheeks flushed, and she immediately broke free from Gu Lan's embrace. She felt a bit embarrassed to be intimate with her husband in front of their daughter.

Gu Lan slowly raised his head, somewhat stiffly.

Looking at his once affectionate little cotton jacket, which was gradually becoming a little demon, he smiled kindly.

"Simu ah! At this time, shouldn't you be studying with your two teachers? Are you missing Daddy?" Gu Lan asked gently.

"Come, Daddy will teach you your lessons personally. Today, we'll study 'The Great Learning,' and tomorrow, we'll study 'The Doctrine of the Mean,' making every day fulfilling."

Upon hearing the titles of the books, Simu's smile instantly vanished, and she pouted, showcasing her acting skills.

"Each golden bean falls from its shell, drop by drop..."

Mu Yuyan couldn't stand seeing Simu shed tears. Her heart softened instantly.

"When can't you study? Don't cry, Simu!"

"Don't listen to Daddy's nonsense. He's just joking. Today, Simu won't study!"

"Today, Daddy and Mommy will play with Simu, okay?"

While comforting Simu, Mu Yuyan glanced at Gu Lan with a hint of blame, signaling him to come over and soothe their daughter.

"Don't cry, Simu. Daddy is just teasing you. Look what this is!"

Seeing Simu crying, Gu Lan also softened. Without further ado, he took out an Emperor-ranked Spirit Fruit from the system space and placed it in front of Simu.

Upon seeing the extraordinary Emperor-ranked Spirit Fruit, Simu immediately stopped crying. She carefully touched the Spirit Fruit with her golden tears, then swiftly brought it to her mouth.

Chomp! Chomp!

Then, she began nibbling on it.

Mu Yuyan: "..."

Gu Lan: "..."
