Bai Huaxiu gazed at the raging fire in the distance, lost in a trance, unaware of what she was thinking.
Soon, the news of the Demon’s defeat arrived at the palace and the panicked crowd regained their calm.
Bai Huaxiu was surprised to hear the people’s description, and when it came to the part about the Immortal with two children, she instinctively felt that those were her children, and the one who acted must be the man her husband referred to as Mr. Lu Yu.
At that moment, she suddenly noticed that the surroundings seemed to become illusory, as if a curtain of water had risen to separate her from the people around her.
Turning her head, she saw a man in a green robe in the distance, walking towards her with two children, chatting and laughing. It was surprisingly her children whom she had thought of day and night.
When the children saw their mother, they looked up at their father, who smiled and nodded, then they excitedly ran toward their mother.
They crashed into Bai Huaxiu’s arms, and the crisp voices of children rang in her ears, "Mother, we missed you so much!"
Bai Huaxiu held the two children, gently stroking their heads, with tears streaming down her face.
"Mother missed you too," she murmured.
Lu Yu stood by, quietly watching, without disturbing their family reunion.
Bai Huaxiu had thought it would be a long time before she could see her children, but it had only been a few days before they were reunited. The joy in her heart was immense as she held her children tight.
After a long while, she emerged from the joy of the family reunion and realized that Lu Yu was still beside her. She quickly wiped her tears and apologetically said, "You must be Mr. Lu. Please forgive me for my earlier condition."
Bai Huaxiu bowed gracefully, with a posture that was naturally fluid, evidently trained.
Lu Yu inwardly sighed; as expected of a princess, her etiquette and posture were indeed impeccable.
"Princess need not be so formal; I can understand how you feel," Lu Yu said with a smile.
Bai Huaxiu felt that Mr. Lu before her seemed like a gentle breeze, a rare gentle person, and she felt increasingly fortunate that her children could be under the tutelage of such a teacher.
"Mother, the teacher is so powerful. There was such a huge python, and he simply flicked a spark and burned it to death," her elder son eagerly boasted to his mother about his teacher’s prowess.
"Exactly, so many pythons wanted to eat us, but the teacher took a bottle and swoosh, he trapped them all inside," her younger son’s voice was a bit muffled, but his eyes were very bright at the moment, reflecting how deeply the scene of Lu Yu taking action had impressed them.
Bai Huaxiu tenderly watched the two children, quietly waiting for them to finish, her lips curved in a satisfied smile.
Seeing her children’s smiling faces, she knew they liked and admired Mr. Lu a lot. This confirmed that Lu Yu was indeed a trustworthy person, allowing her to be at ease.
"Mr. Lu is so powerful, you must listen to him well, don’t be naughty, and strive to learn skills," Bai Huaxiu earnestly advised her children.
The eldest son nodded first, filled with confidence as he said, "Mother, rest assured, I will cultivate diligently. Once I master the teacher’s skills, I will return to reunite with both father and mother."
The younger son, seeing this, hurriedly raised his little hand, shouting, "And me, and me. I will come to reunite too."
Seeing such an innocent scene from her children, a smile of relief immediately appeared on Bai Huaxiu’s face.
She indulgently smiled and said, "Very well, very well, both of you, father and mother will wait for our little darlings to come and reunite with us."
The two children burst into joyful cheers, for receiving their own mother’s approval was a matter of great excitement for them.
"You must pardon my laughter, teacher. My children are spoiled by me. I hope you will be patient with them in the future," Bai Huaxiu said apologetically to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu just smiled and responded, "I have always believed that children should be allowed to act their age and not be forced into premature maturity. People often speak of youthful ignorance, but it later proves to be an indispensable landscape in life."
"I’ve heard about your husband’s and your affairs from Monkey. Be patient, and the moment of reunion will come in due time. I will meticulously teach the two children. You can rest assured."

Bai Huaxiu brought her two children in front of her, and they knelt down together, saying, "Teacher, I, Bai Huaxiu, have no way to repay your great kindness and mercy, I can only pray daily, and hope that all your aspirations are fulfilled. Please do take extra care of these two children."
"Why the necessity? Whatever Lu has promised, he will do with all his might. Princess, you just wait at ease here."
Bai Huaxiu, holding back tears, pushed the children forward with a strained smile on her lips, "Go now, don’t linger here, follow the teacher back. Mother will take care of herself, waiting for you brothers to come for me."
In that moment, Bai Huaxiu showed the strength of a mother. She held back her unwillingness and sadness, feigning happiness, hoping her children would soon adapt to days without them.
Lu Yu also could not help but inwardly sigh, ’Though women are gentle, a mother’s resolve is steely.’
After the mother and sons finished their conversation, the two children obediently stood beside Lu Yu. Although they looked back at their mother with reluctance, they did not move their feet. At that moment, they deeply understood what growing up meant.
Growing up means learning to face the hardships of life on your own, bearing the suffering alone, and learning to give and sacrifice.
Seeing that the children were mentally prepared, Lu Yu bowed to Bai Huaxiu and said, "Princess, I shall take the children back now. Should the opportunity arise, I will bring the children to visit you."
Having said this, he summoned clouds and mist, and carried the two children towards Mountain Luoxia.
Bai Huaxiu watched the direction in which Lu Yu departed, full of reluctance. Her children, so young, had already had to leave the embrace of their parents to begin their journey of cultivation.

She only hoped her children would cultivate diligently under Lu Yu’s guidance. This world will always be dominated by the powerful; only with great strength can one protect oneself and those one loves. Otherwise, one could only passively accept fate like they did.
"Princess, what’s wrong? Be careful not to catch a cold in the breeze." The maid, noticing her mistress had been standing there for quite some time, reminded her. As a personal attendant, should anything befall the Princess, she would be the first to be implicated.
