“Martial Uncle, you have a good relationship with master and Headmaster Yuan?” Sima You Yue asked.

“Yes. When we were young, we were just like you and your friends, but we also had another relationship. We came from the same sect. Later, Old Second and I became the Valley Master of Divine Devil Valley, and he became the headmaster of the sect. By the way, by seniority, we should call him Martial Uncle.” The Divine Valley Master said.

“Then isn’t he my grand Martial Uncle?” Sima You Yue’s eyes widened. The sect’s headmaster was her grand Martial Uncle. She wondered if she could enter through a back door.

Divine Valley Master shook his head. “That guy ever since he accepted the headmaster’s position, as per request, left our sect.”

Past headmasters of the set did not belong to any force. This was a practice that had been handed down through time. It was to prevent the sect from becoming a vassal of some force.

However, that didn’t hinder their private relationship. Such that Old Man Devil, Divine Valley Master, and Yuan He Tian although were no longer of the same sect, their private relationship was still very good.

Soon afterwards, Sima You Yue understood Yuan He Tian’s condition, such as his likes, his personality.

“Martial Uncle, is my Master not in the valley?” Sima You Yue asked.

“The last time he came back from the Bloody Tunnel, he told me he needed to go on a long journey before leaving.” Divine Valley master answered. “I want to ask you what did you say to him that made him run away despite everything?”

“I asked him if he knew Aunt Feng.” Sima You Yue said.

“Aunt Feng? Do you mean Feng Ru Yan?” Divine Valley master asked in surprise.

“Does Martial Uncle also know Aunt Feng?”

Divine Valley master shook his head. “I heard from your master when he was young that he once met a woman who helped him. She was very special to him. He hasn’t seen her after that, but he can’t let it go. You Yue, how do you know her? You even have such a great relationship with her.”

“Aunt Feng’s body isn’t well. I’ve treated her before.” Sima You Yue explained the situation simply.

“I once heard from your Master that she was like this when he was a child. I didn’t expect that she would still be like this after so many years.” Divine Valley Master commented.

Martial Uncle, according to you, Master doesn’t know Aunt Feng’s identity. Where is he going to find her? I’m not sure if Jun Cang would tell him Aunt Feng’s whereabouts.” Sima You Yue was worried about old man devil.

“I don’t think it’s possible.” Divine Valley Master said, “Since the other party has never heard anything from them, it shows that they are very secretive. In fact, my biggest worry is that he knows the news.”

“Why?” Ying Bai Chuan asked.

“According to You Yue, Feng Ru Yan’s strength is extremely high, which is definitely not owned by any of us here. If in the inner regions, she’ll be the apex existence. If your Martial Uncle is alone and rushes to find her, I’m afraid he’ll be in danger.” The Divine Valley Master said.

“Can you still contact Master?”

“Last time he sent back a message, he said not to worry about him, but he didn’t reply after we had someone sent a message.” Divine Valley Master said, “You have a very different relationship with Xuan Yuan Pavilion now. If you can, ask about Feng Ru Yan identity. That way, we can have some place of finding him.”

“Alright.” Sima You Yue nodded in reply.

In the next few days, Sima You Yue went to treat the Empress again. Perhaps of her Violet Water clan and dragon blood, once her body started moving, her injury started recovering speedily.

“Empress, your body is almost recovered. Your strength has regressed. You can only recultivate again.” Sima You Yue examined Shui Qing Man’s body.

“It’s already very good. Without you, I would still be half dead person.” Shui Man Qing said, “As for strength, I have only regressed two ranks, which is much better than I expected. Thank you, child.”

Sima You Yue smiled and spoke to Wu La Mai, “Your Majesty, since Empress’ injury has recovered, it’s time for me to go back.”

“Wait here, we have presents for you.” Wu La Mai was very pleased at Sima You Yue. Thinking of the Empress’ proposal, he thought it was good.

“Your Majesty needs not be courteous. I came to save the Empress because His Highness and I came to an agreement. He gave me black sea cucumber and I came to treat the Empress. How can I accept your things?” Sima You Yue waved in declination.

Although she was a bit covetous to their collection of things, there was an agreement made, she had to follow through.

Shui Qing Man warmly smiled, “Child, I know you’re a girl. I’ve always wanted a daughter, but Li’er and his brothers are all sons. My wish for a daughter has not been fulfilled. I have discussed with His Majesty. We want you to be our daughter. Are you willing to recognize spirit beasts as your adoptive father and adoptive mother?”

Adoptive father and adoptive mother? Sima You Yue was stunned. She had never thought about this before, and didn’t react for a while.

Shui Qing Man saw Sima You Yue was speechless. The smile on her face froze. She spoke in an embarrassed manner, “Well, how could humans want to recognize beast clans as their relatives. It’s our abruptness, you…”

Sima You Yue didn’t want to see such a gentle woman sad. She took her hand and smilingly said, Empress, I’m not unwilling. It’s just that this news came too suddenly for me, and I was too happy and unable to react for a moment. I was sent to Grandpa by my father when I was a baby. I still haven’t seen my parents till now. I want to have a mother, too. It’s my blessing that you treat me so well and want me to become your daughter.”

“You don’t disdain our beast clan?” Shui Qing Man questioned.

“What differences are between humans and beast clan? They’re all living beings of the world.” Sima You Yue answered.

After Shui Qing Man woke up, Sima You Yue often chatted with her, and their affections grew day by day, which was why she did not reject this proposal.

“Imperial mother, like I said, You Yue won’t disdain such matters.” Wu La Lu chimed in aside.

“You also knew?” Sima You Yue stared at the two brothers.

“Of course. We’re very happy when we know that imperial mother had this idea.” Wu La Lu chuckled, “I didn’t expect that we would have another human sister.”

“I really didn’t expect it.” Wu La Li nodded.

“Has Kong’er and them returned yet?” Wu La Mai asked.

“They’ve been told that imperial mother has woken up.” Wu La Lu answered. “They’re on their way.”

Sima You Yue knew that Wu La Li and then had several more brothers that also traveled all over the continent to find a way to cure the Empress. This family possessed a rare friendship among the beast clans.

Shui Qing Man patted Sima You Yue’s hand. “I know you are in a hurry to leave. But we have to tell all the clansman about you becoming our clan’s princess, and you have to meet your brothers. So just stay here a little longer before you head back.”
