Chapter 486: Chapter Four Hundred Eighty-Two: Becoming Young Again_1
 

Wei Zhan finally stopped crying, and grasped onto Yingbao’s sleeve with a wistful look, leading her to see his mother, Lady Wang.

Lady Wang’s appearance hadn’t changed much, but her temples were already gray. Seeing her daughter-in-law finally returning home, she heaved a sigh of relief and was overjoyed. She immediately ordered a servant to prepare some nourishing meals.

Yingbao has been bedridden for many years, giving her a slender appearance. She needs a good deal of nourishment.

Yingbao replied, “Thank you, mother, but there’s no need to trouble yourself. I will take you to a special place.”

Lady Wang, surprised, asked, “Where do you want to go?”

Wei Zhan nervously clutched onto Yingbao’s sleeve, asking, “Wife, where are you thinking of going again?”

Yingbao, on one hand holding Wei Zhan and on the other leading her mother-in-law, instantly transported them into her Divine Mansion.

Her Divine Mansion was incredibly vast at this time, with a clear blue sky, bright sun, tall mountains, forests, and lakes, stretching as far as the eye could see.

She brought them to a valley. The valley was furnished with pavilions, flowers, birds, fish, and insects, along with all kinds of divine birds and spiritual beasts.

In the middle of the valley, there was a large pool. This was the fusion of the Holy Spirit Spring and her Divine Pupil.

A multitude of transparent dragon spirits were frolicking gleefully within. Upon seeing Yingbao, they all flocked over and in landing, transformed into an array of stunningly beautiful youths.

They curiously looked over at Wei Zhan and Lady Wang, startling the two.

Just as they were getting confused, a beautiful woman with ice-like silver hair approached, smiling beamingly at them.

“Mother, Wei Zhan, this is my Divine Mother,” Yingbao introduced. “Divine Mother, these are my mother-in-law and husband.”

Lady Wang instantly realized, giving Lanyue a slight bow, “So you are the mother of our families.”

Wei Zhan stuttered a greeting, “Divine Mother.”

Lanyue helped Lady Wang up, smiling without uttering a word, and with a simple touch, a divine light entered Lady Wang.

Upon contact, Lady Wang’s appearance noticeably rejuvenated, her skin transformed to be smooth and white, and her hair turned black and shiny, making her look like a beautiful young woman.

Overjoyed, Yingbao gave Lanyue a bow, “Thank you, Divine Mother.”

Lanyue chuckled lightly, then proceeded to touch Wei Zhan’s forehead.

Wei Zhan’s cultivation base began to soar, reaching the Nascent Soul Realm.

With the rise in his cultivation base, he gradually became younger, and now standing side-by-side with Yingbao, they matched each other even better.

Although Wei Zhan had cultivated before, reaching only the fifth-layer, he understood what he was receiving now.

He gave Lanyue a fist-and-palm salute, saying, “This son thanks the Divine Goddess for her blessings.”

Lanyue gave a slight smile before gradually fading away.

Lady Wang was shocked, thinking something terrible had happened. She guiltily reacted, “Yingbao, what happened to your Divine Mother? Did she… because she transformed us…?”

Yingbao reassured, “Divine Mother has gone to cultivate. Mother, you need not worry.”

For the Divine Mother to transform her husband and mother-in-law, she indeed did pay a little price. However, being the Dragon God, even despite losing her physical form, she remained a considerably powerful entity. Given a little while of recuperation within Yingbao’s Divine Mansion, she would gradually recover.

Upon hearing this, Lady Wang and Wei Zhan felt much better. They then toured around the Divine Mansion with Yingbao.

At this point, the Divine Mansion was comparable to a vast Mortal World, and it was impossible for them to see everything in such a short time.

Nonetheless, both were impressed and marvelled at the existence of such a divine and holy place in the world.

Yingbao slowly spoke, “Mother, you and Wei Zhan could also stay here and cultivate. I have allocated an area for a manor where you could live with the children.”

The Dragon God could become a deity because there was a Divine Mansion within its divine soul. After countless years, when the Dragon God perishes, before its divine soul disperses, it can choose to sacrifice it as a place for the survival of the dragon clan.

Her Divine Mansion will now become the dwelling place of the dragon clan in the future.

Madam Wang felt rather moved, but remembering her granddaughter was still outside, she shook her head: “Nuannuan is still outside, I… I’ll just stay with her.”

Her granddaughter was still young, she had to get married in the future. By no means should she be trapped here.

Seeing her mother-in-law’s worries, Yingbao didn’t insist.

She brought them to the manor. The layout of the houses here differed little from the Princess Residence, but it had an additional Book Pavilion and Treasure Building.

The entire collection of the Wuji Sect had largely been moved to this place by her, including the medicine cauldron for refining elixirs and the alchemy storage room.

She also moved in a large Spiritual Medicine Garden and a Spiritual Beast Garden, all of which were set up close by.

However, she had placed restrictions in many places, prohibiting casual entry.

Yingbao handed a jade slip to Wei Zhan: “This is the key to the Book Pavilion and the Treasure Building, you are free to read the books when you have time. Also, the restrictions in the medicine garden and the spiritual beast garden won’t stop you. If you need anything, you can take it at will.”

Wei Zhan took the jade slip and responded.

Even though his cultivation base had increased, he had no clue about how to use spells, so he must read the books.

Wei Zhan was anxious in his heart, worrying that his weak strength would make his wife look down on him.

Then, Yingbao left the Divine Mansion with her mother-in-law, but Wei Zhan stayed in the Divine Mansion to study the spell books.

Madam Wang and Yingbao returned to the Wei Mansion, startling all the servants and maids in the Jiqing Yard.

Especially her personal maid, Ding Xiang, widened her eyes when she saw her mistress, who was decades younger: “Madam? Are you… are you Madam?”

Madam Wang smiled and nodded, saying: “Of course, it’s me. The Commandery Princess has already woken up, and I’ll write a letter to Nuannuan, asking her to come back and see her mother.”

The Crown Prince had invited her granddaughter to Beijing to play a while ago, she was not at home at the moment, and so she said.

Only then did Ding Xiang realize that the beautiful young girl next to her mistress was the Commandery Princess.

She quickly knelt down before Yingbao and paid her respects, “I did not recognize the Commandery Princess, please forgive me.”

Yingbao: “You’ve done nothing wrong, get up.”

The Ding Xiang standing before her was now in her forties, appearing significantly aged. She was likely old enough to be a grandmother.

Ding Xiang thanked the Commandery Princess, stood up, and curiously scrutinized her mistress.

As the Commandery Princess hadn’t changed in many years, Ding Xiang, who had never seen her in her thirties, didn’t feel anything different. But Madam Wang, who was in her fifties, despite being well-maintained, still looked like an old woman in her forties or fifties. The fact she suddenly looked like she was in her twenties, younger than the ladies in the front yard, was indeed shocking.

Madam Wang laughed: “What are you looking at? Go to the kitchen and tell the cooks to prepare a feast.”

Not only her appearance changed to be younger, but her entire being was also in its healthiest and most vibrant state. Today, she was going to taste the foods that she dared not eat before.

Ding Xiang exclaimed and hurried to the kitchen.

Soon, the entire mansion knew that the Commandery Princess had awakened, and Madam Wang had astonishingly regained her youth, standing together with the Commandery Princess, they looked like sisters.

When the master of the Wei family returned from inspecting his shops, he heard the servants’ discussions and couldn’t help but rush to the Jiqing Yard out of curiosity.

The several concubines exchanged looks, wanting to follow but afraid of Madam Wang’s punishment; thus they sent maids to Jiqing Yard to sneak a peek.

In the Jiqing Yard, Yingbao didn’t avoid anyone and waved out two jars of Spiritual Wine, shocking the maids on both sides dumbfounded.

This scene was also witnessed by the master of the Wei family. He tripped as he stepped into the threshold, almost falling.

When he saw Madam Wang, the old man’s eyeballs nearly fell out of their sockets: “You you… Are you really Ajin?”
