My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Upon hearing these words and combining them with the familiar name just mentioned, Mu Yuyan suddenly froze. Immediately, a freshly-robed Zhongren walked in, approached Gu Lan, looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on Mu Yuyan.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"... Are you Madam?"

Zhongren seemed a bit hesitant because everyone in Gu Residence had unanimously spoken about how beautiful and perfect Sister Madam was, a match made in heaven with Gu Lan...

However, now that he saw her in person, she seemed quite ordinary?

Gu Lan patted his head, saying, "Nonsense, is there anyone else in the room?"

"Oh!"

Although Zhongren was a bit puzzled, facing his big brother's wife, he had to show full respect.

"Greetings, Sister!"

The young Daoist bowed.

At this moment, Mu Yuyan scrutinized the young Daoist from head to toe. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and a deep shock flashed in her phoenix eyes!

Recalling the sleepy Daoist she encountered in the Tianji Peak Pavilion that day during the Tianji Ceremony, wasn't he the self-proclaimed "Poor Daoist Zhongren"? Moreover, the two looked exactly alike!

Could it be...

"Please rise, Daoist Zhongren."

Mu Yuyan suppressed her astonishment and approached, helping the young Daoist stand up.

Meanwhile, her jade-like fingers subtly probed his internal energy. Perhaps thinking she was just a mortal, he hadn't concealed anything. The aura of the King Realm was easily detected!

Mu Yuyan took a deep breath, her beautiful eyes shimmering.

At this moment, she finally confirmed that this young Daoist was the one she had seen on the mountain, an exact match!

He was also the "Senior Brother" of the Tianji Pavilion Daoists! The only direct apprentice of Elder Yunlong, the designated heir... the Young Master of the Tianji Pavilion!

"Master Gu... Is this young Daoist really someone you picked up on the road?" Mu Yuyan bit her lip, her phoenix eyes fixed on him without blinking.

"Indeed!"

Gu Lan nodded and explained, "He is from Tianji Mountain. Although he wears Daoist robes, he is not from the immortal sect. I saw him looking pitifully hungry, so I brought him home."

Not from the immortal sect, pitifully hungry...

Mu Yuyan looked at Gu Lan with an extremely serious expression. "What's wrong, Madam?"

Gu Lan felt a bit guilty under her scrutinizing gaze.

Zhongren, noticing this, thought it was time to lend a helping hand to his big brother.

"Yes, Sister. I've been an orphan since childhood, wandering the streets in great misery. Fortunately, Brother Gu gave me a meal and took me in. You won't chase me away, will you?"

Seeing the innocent look in his eyes, Mu Yuyan almost believed him!

Was it possible for the Young Master of Tianji Pavilion to struggle for survival in the mortal realm, fighting dogs for food?

However, what left her more shocked and puzzled at this moment wasn't the fact that these two were trying to deceive her together. It was Zhongren, the Young Master of Tianji Pavilion, calling Gu Lan "Big Brother" with such sincerity!

Mu Yuyan's thoughts were in chaos, and even with her intelligence, she found it challenging to sort through the possibilities.

"Master and Madam, dinner is ready. Shall I serve it now?"

Liu Yexi rushed in excitedly from outside. However, when she saw Zhongren's appearance, she suddenly stopped talking. After a brief moment of daze, her mouth twitched, and she looked sharply at the female Emperor.

"Yexi, this is the little brother picked up by Master Gu... Daoist Zhongren."

Mu Yuyan emphasized the last title.

Liu Yexi understood immediately! Oh my god! The Young Master of Tianji Pavilion, the Master's little brother, was introduced to her as a kid picked up on the road by Master Gu! Suppressing her shock, Liu Yexi helped him up and shifted her gaze away. "Master, shall I bring the food now?"

"Yes, let's sit down and eat first. We can talk as we eat."

Gu Lan smiled. At the dining table, Mu Yuyan silently ate her food, her beautiful eyes slightly lowered, gradually organizing her thoughts.

However, as the most probable answer became clearer, she felt increasingly nervous! The hand holding the steamed bun turned slightly pale.

Even the Young Master of Tianji Pavilion, cooperating with Gu Lan in deceiving her, wouldn't have Zhongren become a mortal's little brother! Only with extraordinary strength could one earn such respect in the world's top sects!

Thinking back to the recent events around her, from the appearance of the Primordial Sword at Heavenly Sword Sect months ago, the battle between the extraordinary experts and Emperor Yu outside Langzhou city, the recent black gunpowder workshop incident in the capital where Tianji Pavilion Consecrator saved countless lives with four Primordial Sword auras, and today, Gu Lan presenting a bunch of so-called Immortal Stage techniques from a street vendor...

All these events pointed to the final truth: the third possibility she had overlooked when analyzing the Primordial Sword aura, the one she didn't consider - Tianji Pavilion Consecrator wasn't aimlessly picking fights or keeping an eye on Gu Lan and herself, but...

"He is Master Gu!?"

When this idea surfaced, Mu Yuyan's mind went blank. Yet, after repeatedly confirming, there was only one result.

"Indeed... No wonder I always felt that the Consecrator was secretly following us. It explains why, despite our close interaction, I couldn't discern his cultivation level. It's because of this!"

"Not only is it hard to recognize him even when he's right in front of us, but even if we spend every day together..."

Mu Yuyan chuckled, looking deeply at Gu Lan. Who would have thought that Tianji Pavilion Consecrator, a figure countless people in the world sought to be associated with, including the various empires who wanted to win over this extraordinary expert...

Was actually her husband!?

This was too amazing!!

"Madam, why are you staring at me like that?"

Seeing Mu Yuyan smiling at him, Gu Lan smirked. Taking advantage of her distraction, he leaned in and planted a vigorous kiss on her rosy cheek.

Not content with just a kiss, due to the long separation and his longing, he even gave her a gentle bite, leaving a strawberry mark on her exquisite face.

The crowd erupted in cheers.

Well! He was being a bit too much in front of so many people...

Mu Yuyan, kissed by surprise, felt a bit dazed. Her face turned as hot as a burning cloud. However, after this sudden attack, a warm feeling involuntarily flowed through her heart.

It's good.

Her husband was the formidable expert whom everyone revered.

And despite her initial worries about her concealment of aura technique, making her appear like an ordinary mortal woman, he not only didn't despise her but was willing to accompany her for a lifetime.

While strong cultivators might be indifferent, he was different!

Mu Yuyan looked at Gu Lan, her beautiful eyes filled with emotion.

"Still looking? Want another kiss?"

Gu Lan raised an eyebrow, teasingly.

Mu Yuyan snorted softly, turning her head away.

A moment later, Gu Lan, still smiling, pushed a cup of medicinal wine toward her. "My lady, have a cup of medicinal wine."

Mu Yuyan looked at him in confusion.

But this excessively strong man, with a mischievous smile, raised his eyebrows at her... Why did it seem like there was a hint of mischief in his intentions?

"Lady, doesn't the Master know that you don't like drinking?" Liu Yexi questioned.

"I'm well aware!" Gu Lan replied.

Everyone knew that, apart from special occasions, Madam seldom drank alcohol.

Yet, seeing Gu Lan intentionally persisting in this, there was some confusion among the onlookers.

Then, Gu Lan approached Mu Yuyan's ear, whispering something gently. Mu Yuyan's face instantly turned so red it seemed like blood would drip from it.

However, she then, under the doubtful gazes of her family, cast a glance at Gu Lan, gave him a resentful look, and slowly tilted her snow-white neck, gulping down the cup of medicinal wine with a series of "thud, thud, thud."

Everyone was stunned!

They hadn't expected the Madam to have such an open-minded side!

Of course, they wouldn't know that the eight words Gu Lan said to her were, "Nourish your body; We'll practice tonight!"
