    Qinglian’s Heartfelt Extra: Different Paths and Destiny Extra: Talking on the Lotus Pond Couch (continued)

    The moonlight outside the window gradually moved to the side of the couch, shining on the tips of Qinglian’s slightly scattered hair, glowing with a faint soft light.Gu Baifei lowered his head and saw that the tips of her ears were still red. He couldn’t help but pinch them gently again, causing her to groan and burrow into his arms again.

    “That girl Lian Xi’s formations have been improving a lot recently,” Qinglian suddenly remembered what happened during the day, her voice was soft, “The clear lotus water flower formation she set up the day before yesterday, even you had to break half a stick of incense to get in. It’s much better than the formation I used back then.”

    Gu Baifei laughed and stroked the top of her hair with his fingertips: “It’s up to you, and it’s up to me. She has a fierce temper, and there is a tenacity in her formation skills. She is more calm than you were back then.”

    “How could I lose my composure back then?” Qinglian raised her head and glared at him, but there was lingering tiredness in her eyes, “It’s just a little temper from time to time.”

    “Yes, you are the calmest,” Gu Baifei responded with a low smile, and then thought of Lian Yuan, “Lian Yuan looks more and more like you. Yesterday Fancheng came to report that the lotus water barrier he set up in the west border protected tens of thousands of victims, and even the Emperor of Heaven specially sent a message to commend him.”

    Mentioning her eldest son, Qinglian’s eyes filled with warmth: “He has been soft-hearted since he was a child and does not want to see others suffer. This temperament does not follow a cold-faced immortal like you.”

    Gu Baifei raised his eyebrows and flicked her forehead with his finger: “When did I become cold to you? I have never been cold to you.”

    Qinglian shrank her neck after being bounced, but she laughed out loud, stretched out her hand to hook his neck, and rubbed her nose against his chin: “Yes, Gu Xianjun is the best to me.”

    When these words fell into his ears, Gu Baifei’s heart softened. He lowered his head and kissed the top of her hair, and then kissed along the ends of her hair to her eyebrows. Finally, he stopped at the corner of her lips and rubbed them gently: “It’s not just the best, it’s only good for you.”

    The lotus fragrance in the hall is mixed with the moonlight, becoming more and more affectionate.Qinglian closed her eyes and let him hold her, her fingertips unconsciously caressing the Double Veins Concentric Jue on his wrist. The blue light pattern of the jade bracelet complemented the one on her wrist, creating a gentle halo.

    I don’t know how much time passed, but she became increasingly sleepy and her voice became lower: “Tomorrow… I will go to the pond to pick new lotus flowers and make lotus cakes for the children…”

    Gu Baifei responded, tightened his embrace, moved her to the couch, and covered her with a thin quilt: “Go to sleep, I will accompany you tomorrow.”

    Qinglian groaned, leaned into his arms, and soon began to breathe evenly.Gu Baifei lowered his head and looked at her sleeping side face, his eyes were full of softness, his fingertips gently brushed the jade bracelet on her wrist, and whispered: “It doesn’t matter if it’s hundreds of millions of years or ten thousand years, with you here, it will be the best years.”

    The Lingxi River outside the window is still gurgling, and the moonlight envelopes the Lotus Heart Palace. Even the light and shadow of the memory crystals have become gentle, quietly reflecting the figures hugging each other on the couch. Over the years, they have condensed into eternal stability.

    Qinglian’s Heartfelt Story·Different Paths and Destiny Extra·Still a Young Man after Returning

    It is the Lotus Festival of the Three Realms of the year again. The Holy Land of Qinglian is decorated with lanterns and colorful lights. The Lingxi River is filled with water lanterns decorated with auras. Common people and immortal officials from the immortal world gather together. Even the Emperor of Heaven in the Holy Land of Lingxiao sends God Bai Fei to send congratulatory gifts.

    Gu Baifei was accompanying Qinglian in sorting out the gifts in Lianxin Palace, but was distracted by a commotion outside the palace.When he went out, he saw that it was Gu Lianxi who was tugging on the sleeve of Bai Zhan, insisting on snatching his new “Star Pattern Spiritual Bamboo”. Bai Zhan jumped to his feet anxiously: “I picked this from Lingxiao Galaxy, just one! You have robbed me of so many treasures!”

    “The star-patterned spiritual bamboo can weave luminous bamboo dragonflies, which is perfect for the children in the training area to play with,” Gu Lianxi said confidently, with a wisp of Surabaya spiritual charm wrapped around her fingertips, “Besides, you stole my mother’s spiritual lotus back then, so that’s even!”

    Qinglian leaned against the door and couldn’t help laughing, but Gu Baifei suddenly remembered something and whispered: “Look at her, does she look like you back then?”

    Qing Lian was startled, and her memories suddenly came flooding back – hundreds of millions of years ago, she was still the little lotus demon that had just transformed at the bottom of the pond. In order to grab a star stone that fell into the pond, she also dragged Gu Baifei who was passing by like this. She was obviously trembling with fear, but she held on and said, “I saw this first.”

    While he was lost in thought, Gu Lianyuan also rushed over. Instead of trying to persuade his sister, he took out a “condensation grass” that he had just found in Fan City from his sleeve and handed it to Bai Jian: “Sir Bai Jian, this grass can nourish the Star Pattern Spirit Bamboo. Can I give half of it to the children to play with?”

    Bai Jian was not really stingy at all. He took advantage of the situation by borrowing the donkey down the slope, broke off the Lingzhu in half and handed it to Gu Lianxi. He then turned around and moved closer to Gu Baifei, winking and saying: “These two children in your family, one is as soft-hearted as the Goddess Qinglian, and the other is as stubborn as her. They have copied your temper.”

    Gu Baifei didn’t answer and only looked at Qinglian.Under the moonlight, she was bending over, smiling as she helped a mortal child adjust the wick of a water lamp. The green light on her fingertips was gentle, and the smile between her eyebrows was clear. She was no different from the timid but stubborn little lotus demon that protected the lotus pond when they first met hundreds of millions of years ago.

    Halfway through the Lotus Meeting, everyone dispersed, and the two of them walked side by side by the Lingxi River. Under their feet were scattered lotus petals, and above their heads were the intertwined blue auras.Gu Baifei suddenly stopped and held her hand: “You haven’t changed at all in hundreds of millions of years.”

    Qinglian raised her eyebrows and shook Tongxinjue on her wrist: “Aren’t you the same? Back then you thought I was pestering, but now you still let me make trouble?”

    Gu Baifei laughed and held her in his arms, looking at the bamboo dragonflies released by the children in the distance. The light spots were mixed with the stars, just like the starry sky when the two first met hundreds of millions of years ago.

    “To me, you will always be the little lotus demon who protects the lotus pond,” he whispered, “and I am still the immortal king who stopped for you. Even though the journey to immortality is long, you will still be a young man when you return. Your heart has not changed, and neither has your love.”

    The tip of Qinglian’s nose was slightly sour, but she smiled and stood on tiptoes to kiss the corner of his lips. The evening breeze blew by, and the lotus fragrance spread, wrapping their figures in the eternal gentle moonlight.
