"Yes, and it's very simple. You should often tell her about the little things between you two, without any deception, to awaken her memories. Of course, you can't rush it; you have to take it slowly. After all, she has damaged her primordial spirit and needs to be recuperated. I'll go see if I can refine some pills to help her recover as quickly as possible." With that, he left the living room and headed towards the alchemy room.
The shimmering light of the alchemy room shone on Mo Mo's face, revealing his strange smile. "Donghua, enjoy the surprise I have for you."
Meanwhile, Bai Fengjiu, who should have been lying weakly on the bed in Fengjiu's room, was now rolling around on the bed full of energy, with a smile on her face.
"It feels pretty good. I thought I would be very resistant and feel guilty, but I didn't expect it to feel so good. I feel like I'm floating. It seems that my aunt and I were right about you. Your Majesty, you have finally fallen into my hands."
Thank you to the "Dusty Boy" for the donation, and thank you everyone for the votes and favorites.

Chapter 49 Little Feng Jiu's Happiness
At the summit of Junji Mountain in the Eastern Wilderness, a man in purple robes with white hair and a girl in red stood embracing each other. The girl had a red phoenix tail flower between her eyebrows, while the man, despite his full head of silver hair, did not look old. Instead, it added to his unusual handsomeness. The two stood embracing each other, watching the sunset, looking very happy.
That's right, they are Donghua Dijun and Bai Fengjiu. Mo Mo's original plan was for Bai Fengjiu to pretend to have amnesia until Mo Mo finished preparing for their wedding. Unfortunately, an accident happened when Mo Mo's prank was about to come to a perfect end. Mo Mo sent out the invitations in advance, which caused the news to be exposed in advance. The plan failed, and what was supposed to be a surprise for his old friend turned into a shock.
Mo Mo looked down at the two people snuggling together watching the sunset and sighed inwardly. "They say that even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman, but little do they know that beautiful women can also resist the charms of heroes, especially when someone who is usually aloof and unapproachable but is the one you love most suddenly starts to be gentle and doting on you. Fortunately, nothing irreparable has happened, and there has even been a bit of a blessing in disguise. But I should never do such things again."
Actually, it all started three days ago. Mo Mo's plan was going very smoothly. Feng Jiu pretended to have completely forgotten Donghua Dijun and treated Mo Mo as her lover, as agreed with Mo Mo. At first, everything went very smoothly. Mo Mo even began to doubt that Feng Jiu really thought of him as her lover Donghua. Donghua also came to tell Feng Jiu about their past every day. Zhi Yue also stopped bothering Mo Mo because of the play that Mo Mo and Bai Feng Jiu were putting on. During this time, Mo Mo also secretly began to prepare a dowry for Feng Jiu and started to send out invitations widely.
Mo Mo's invitations, ostensibly for his own birthday, were actually wedding invitations for Donghua and Fengjiu, concealed by magic. They would reveal their true form when the time was right. Based on this magic and Mo Mo's recent actions, some speculated that these were indeed his wedding invitations to Bai Fengjiu of Qingqiu, exposing his secret preparations for a dowry and his private discussions with the Fox Emperor about the wedding date. The entire Heavenly Palace then came to offer their congratulations. Donghua Dijun, sitting opposite Mo Mo, was naturally unaware of this, leading to an unexpected turn of events for Mo Mo.
Mo Mo never expected her plan to be misunderstood and cause such a misunderstanding. Moreover, Mo Mo underestimated the potential harm her plan could cause. What Mo Mo didn't know was that Donghua had once suspected that Mo Mo had fallen in love with Bai Fengjiu and was planning to steal her away from him. However, out of trust in Mo Mo, Donghua immediately nipped the idea in the bud. When he heard the news that Fengjiu was going to marry Mo Mo, Donghua couldn't bear the blow and vomited blood and fainted.
Such an event was almost inevitable. As you can see from the original novel, Donghua's love for Fengjiu is deeply ingrained. Although he has been hiding it and hasn't shown much concern for Fengjiu, when you recall Donghua's evaluation in the Heavenly Palace, you'll find that Donghua's love for Fengjiu is already too obvious.
What is the Heavenly Palace's assessment of Donghua? "Emperor Donghua is a god who sprang from a stone; he has no emotions, a god suitable only to be hung on the wall and worshipped." This shows how detached from worldly affairs Emperor Donghua is in his daily life. Mo Mo underestimated her position in Donghua's heart. Hundreds of thousands of years of friendship, being neighbors, and both former rulers of heaven and earth, fighting side-by-side, though their lives were never intertwined, Mo Mo was his only confidante in the world. How could anyone bear the betrayal of their only confidante, especially when she is about to marry the woman they love most?
Upon hearing this news, Feng Jiu's face turned deathly pale. She rushed to Tai Chen Palace like a madwoman. Mo Mo stood there, filled with regret, and hurriedly ran to the alchemy room to fetch a bunch of pills to give to Dong Hua.
In the end, Feng Jiu confessed to Donghua, and Mo Mo also solemnly apologized to Emperor Donghua, vowing with his Dao heart that he would never let such a thing happen to him again. Emperor Donghua forgave his old friend and beloved, and concealed the truth of the matter, only saying to the outside world that it was Emperor Wangchen's prank. Mo Mo could only obediently take the blame, since he was the one who caused this whole thing.
Mo Mo's actions actually strengthened the relationship between Donghua Dijun and Feng Jiu. The two were inseparable and always together. For some reason, Donghua Dijun began to spoil Feng Jiu and indulge her in everything, which led to the scene described above.
"Hey, Donghua, Fengjiu, can you please consider my feelings? Besides, you're getting married tomorrow and you're here to watch the sunset? Is that really okay?" The two turned around and glanced at Mo Mo when they heard his words, while Bai Fengjiu rolled her eyes at him before turning back to watch the sunset.
Mo Mo
"I won't stoop to your level. I'm going back to being my matchmaker, but I'll wait until we finish this round of drinks. No rush."
To be honest, Mo Mo does have the potential to be a matchmaker. Although it feels a bit like he's just passing the buck, after half a month of hard work, he finally managed to match Zhi Yue, who was no longer bothering him, with Yuan Zhen. After successfully bringing Zhi Yue and Yuan Zhen together, Mo Mo's next step was to match Mo Yuan and Yao Guang. In fact, Mo Yuan and Yao Guang's relationship had already progressed further after the battle with Qing Cang. At least Mo Yuan no longer opposed Yao Guang's pursuit. And after Yao Guang's efforts over 70,000 years, the two were only one step away from becoming a couple.
The next day, the Nine Heavens were ablaze with rosy light, covered in auspicious multicolored clouds, and phoenixes danced in the air. A vast expanse of purple aura stretched for thirty thousand miles in the east, and even the mortal realm was shrouded in auspicious clouds. Outside the Southern Heavenly Gate, immortals and gods from all corners of the world arrived in droves. Some lesser immortals and gods who were not originally qualified to enter the Nine Heavens were now allowed to swagger into the Heavenly Palace, for today was the wedding day of Donghua Zifu Shaoyang Jun and Qingqiu Dijiu Bai Fengjiu. At this time, Donghua Dijun's Taichen Palace and Wangchen Dijun's Tianchen Palace were already brightly lit and filled with banquets, packed with immortals and gods from all corners of the world. Fortunately, their residences were large enough to accommodate so many people; after all, all the immortals and gods who received the news had come. However, only those who received invitations could sit at the front; those without invitations simply found a seat anywhere. There were simply too many immortals and gods present, but the food and drink were served equally to everyone.
It was nearly noon, and Mo Mo calculated that the auspicious time was approaching. So he stepped forward to prepare to begin the wedding ceremony, while the gods and immortals below gradually quieted down.
After the immortals and gods below quieted down, Mo Mo slowly spoke, "Today is the wedding day of Donghua Zifu Shaoyangjun and Qingqiu Bai Fengjiu. Thank you all for coming to witness their marriage today. I have prepared a small feast to express my gratitude. I, Wangchen, thank you all for coming." With that, he picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
The Third Prince of the Celestial Clan, Lian Song, stood up, raised his wine cup, and said, "It is our honor to attend the Emperor's wedding. Fellow immortals, let us drink this cup to the brim."
After all the immortals and gods sat down, Mo Mo calculated the time and found that the auspicious hour had arrived. So he called out, "The auspicious hour has arrived. Bring the bride and groom."
As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Donghua, who had changed his usual purple robe and white hair, walked over with a big red wedding robe and a big smile on his face, along with Bai Fengjiu, who was also wearing a wedding robe and had a red veil on her head.
After the two stood in place, Mo Mo spoke again, "Bow to heaven and earth, first bow, second bow, third bow."
After the ceremony, Mo Mo spoke again, "Husband and wife bow to each other, first bow, second bow, third bow, the ceremony is complete."
"Congratulations, Donghua! From now on, you're no longer all alone. And I'm not saying anything more, let's drink!" With that, he grabbed his wine glass and ran off. As for shielding Emperor Donghua from drinking? Mo Mo was already being generous by not kicking him when he was down.
The banquet lasted until the moon was high in the sky before it ended. When Donghua Dijun finally got rid of everyone and returned to the bridal chamber, he was already staggering.
When Donghua Dijun returned to the bridal chamber and lifted Bai Fengjiu's veil, he was immediately stunned by her beauty, just as he had been when Mo Mo lifted Bai Qian's veil.
"Feng Jiu, you look so beautiful today. I wish I could just keep looking at you like this forever."
Although the two were already an old married couple, that was back in the mortal realm. This was the first time Donghua Dijun had spoken to her like this, and Bai Fengjiu couldn't help but blush, which added to her unusual beauty. When Bai Fengjiu came to her senses, Donghua Dijun had already pulled her to drink the nuptial wine.
After drinking the nuptial wine, Donghua Dijun held Bai Fengjiu in his arms and felt that Bai Fengjiu was becoming more and more beautiful and charming, while he himself was getting hotter and hotter, and Bai Fengjiu felt the same way. So Donghua Dijun pressed his lips hard against Bai Fengjiu's alluring red lips, and for a moment the room was filled with spring light.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this newly developed tonic wine is quite effective. We need to brew more." Listening to the groans coming from the house, Mo Mo stroked his chin and thought, "I'll send a few jars to Mo Yuan in a couple of days. They're old friends, and I'm not being fair to him. Maybe I should send a few jars to Zhe Yan as well?" Muttering to himself, Mo Mo left Emperor Donghua's Taichen Palace.

Chapter 50 You're welcome, please call me a Young Pioneer
On Kunlun Mountain, Zi Lan had just returned from taking care of the cranes when he heard them all calling out. He immediately suspected that a distinguished guest had arrived. Sure enough, when he returned to the front of the hall, he found his master chatting with a young man in white robes. Zi Lan then glanced at the seat next to his master, Mo Yuan, and sure enough, the Goddess Yao Guang was there as well.
"Zilan has met the Goddess Yaoguang and the Emperor Wangchen."
"Hmm, Zilan, it's been quite a while. I remember you and Qianqian were very close. This is a little thing I made recently. I don't have any use for it, so I'll give it to you to play with." With that, he waved his hand and handed a simple-looking longsword to Zilan.
"This?" Zilan looked at the sword in front of him, then looked at his master. Only after his master nodded did he reach out and take the sword.
This was certainly not a trivial matter that Mo Mo casually crafted. He had put in a great deal of effort to forge the sword in Zi Lan's hands. The blade was made by Mo Mo using meteorite iron collected from the Nine Heavens and mixed with ten-thousand-year-old cold iron, making it incomparably sturdy. Furthermore, the addition of ten-thousand-year-old cold iron would unleash a chilling aura within the sword to freeze the opponent's magical power during combat. The hilt was made from the heartwood of a peach tree, which Mo Mo carefully selected, and it had the effect of nourishing the soul. Although this sword was insignificant to Mo Mo, it was already a top-tier magical treasure in the world of Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms.
Mo Mo gave the sword to Zi Lan simply to settle a karmic debt with him. After all, Mo Mo had ruined his relationship with Yan Zhi, even though it was a tragic fate that would never end. However, Mo Mo was not the main character in the story, and he had no right to judge them. Perhaps what you hate is what someone else desires.
"Emperor Wangchen, it's been tens of thousands of years since we last met. What brings you to my Kunlun Mountain today?" Mo Yuan slowly sipped the wine Mo Mo had brought him and then asked gently.
"Didn't Donghua and Bai Fengjiu of Qingqiu become Daoist partners a few days ago? I remembered that you and Yaoguang have been together for over ten thousand years. I wanted to come and ask when you two are getting married so I could prepare a gift. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fun if we were caught off guard." Mo Mo smiled, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the two of them.
Mo Yuan was taken aback by Mo Mo's answer, and after a moment's thought, he looked at Yao Guang, whose face was full of anticipation, and said, "It should be soon. May I ask what advice Your Majesty may give?"
"I think next month would be good, how about the ninth of next month? As long as you agree, I guarantee I'll handle it perfectly, no less than Donghua's."
"No need, Your Majesty, please feel free to come. However, although Zheyan's Peach Blossom Wine is delicious, the quantity is too small. I wonder if Your Majesty has any in stock?"
"Don't worry, it's not a lot, but it's not a small amount either. It's enough for Donghua to have another round. However, we used up all the peach blossom wine last time, and now we only have pear blossom wine left. Is that alright?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mo Yuan stood up and bowed.
Mo Mo stood up, smiled and nodded, then winked at Yao Guang. Immediately afterwards, Mo Mo pulled all of Mo Yuan's disciples out.
"Your Majesty, may I ask why Your Majesty has summoned us here?" Die Feng asked Mo Mo respectfully after they went outside.
Mo Mo glanced at Die Feng and said indifferently, "If I don't pull you out, will you be the third wheels in there? Besides, how can we watch this show if you don't come out? I originally thought that Mo Yuan wouldn't accept Yao Guang so easily, so I made some extra preparations. I didn't expect Mo Yuan to give me a surprise. But my preparations weren't wasted. Now I'll show you some good stuff."
With a wave of his hand, a light screen nearly four meters long and three meters wide appeared in front of Mo Mo. The screen was initially blurry, but images gradually appeared on it, and then the images became clearer and clearer.
"Isn't this our Kunlun Mountain's main hall? Your Majesty, you..." Zi Lan exclaimed in surprise as the image became clear.
"Shh, keep your voice down, or you'll be in trouble if your master finds out." After hearing Mo Mo's words, the group covered their mouths and nodded repeatedly like chickens pecking at rice.
In the scene, Mo Yuan and Yao Guang sit quietly in the hall. Mo Yuan sips his wine quietly, while Yao Guang lowers her head and sips her wine with a flushed face. Suddenly, as if they were telepathically connected, they look up at each other, their eyes filled with passion.
Looking at Yao Guang's flushed face, Mo Yuan felt that Yao Guang was exceptionally beautiful and charming today. Even he couldn't help but have the urge to rush over and take a bite. At this moment, Yao Guang felt that Mo Yuan's gaze was burning hot today. Although she found it strange, she was filled with anticipation. In the end, Yao Guang lost the upper hand in the eye contact and lowered her head.
"Awooo!" Zilan's strange cry startled Mo Mo. Not only Zilan, but even Mo Mo was startled by Mo Yuan's actions, because just now, Mo Yuan took advantage of the moment when Yao Guang lowered her head and carried Yao Guang back to the room.
After Mo Yuan's door closed in the scene, Mo Mo waved his hand and withdrew the spell. "Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect Mo Yuan to be such a man. I thought that this wine would at most allow the two of them to hold hands and watch the sunset, but I didn't expect it."
"Your Majesty, how could our master act so impulsively? Based on my understanding of him, he wouldn't do that. Is it because Your Majesty..." Although he saw that his master had finally taken action, Die Feng still voiced his doubts.
"That's right, it's because of the reason, but actually I just gave them a trigger. Remember the jar of wine I brought? That's my latest wine, it doesn't have a name yet. It only has one effect: after drinking it, it will evoke the most unforgettable memories deep in your mind, especially for couples. It also has a little bit of the effect of nourishing yin and yang, yes, just a little bit."
Mo Yuan's disciples
"Is it really only a little bit? Why did my master carry our future mistress into the room in broad daylight?"
"Ah! The weather is so nice today. I've picked all the peach blossoms in my peach grove. I'm going to pick some more from Zheyan. I'm off now." With that, he left Kunlun Mountain without looking back.
In fact, Mo Mo was not lying; he really did go to the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest.
In the ten-mile peach blossom forest, Zheyan, upon hearing that Mo Mo only wanted to pick some peach blossoms to make wine, generously allowed Mo Mo to pick as many as he wanted before returning to drink with Bai Zhen. Half an hour later, Mo Mo returned to the hut in the peach blossom forest to thank Zheyan, leaving behind several jars of wine before quickly leaving the ten-mile peach blossom forest, his expression seemingly somewhat subtle as he departed.
After Mo Mo left, Zheyan and Bai Zhen continued drinking and admiring the flowers. However, after finishing a pot of wine, they felt something was wrong. The fragrance of the flowers was much weaker than usual. Thinking about Mo Mo's expression when he left and that Mo Mo had said at the beginning that he needed a large amount, Zheyan's heart skipped a beat.
Zheyan threw down his wine glass and flew over the peach grove, tears welling up in his eyes. The once lush and vibrant scene of ten miles of peach blossoms had completely vanished. Except for the area around his hut, everything else was barren. There wasn't a single remaining petal on the trees, let alone any intact peach blossoms.
When "Emperor Wangchen" saw the peach grove he had carefully nurtured turn into such a state, even Zheyan, with his good temper, couldn't help but roar in anger.
Meanwhile, Mo Mo had returned to the Ninth Heaven. After looking around, he muttered to himself as he walked toward the council hall, "Huh, I think I just heard someone calling me, but no one's here. Did I hallucinate? That shouldn't be the case."
An hour later, Mo Mo walked out of the council hall with satisfaction. "All done, that's a wrap. Little Ye Hua, Little Ye Hua, although Su Jin in the original drama was quite scheming, she truly loved you to the core. Otherwise, she wouldn't have tried so hard to drive away the women around you and monopolize you. Now, she is about to become your principal wife. With her shrewdness, she is more than capable of helping you manage the Heavenly Clan and stabilize the harem. Now that everything that needed to be done has been done, after drinking your wedding wine, I should start a new journey. I originally wanted to wait for your child to be born, but it seems I'll have to wait until next time."
Three months later, at Ye Hua and Su Jin's wedding banquet, after warning Su Jin, Mo Mo took his wine glass and went to a secluded place to drink alone in silence.
"Wangchen, you're not the type to drink alone. What happened?" Mo Mo had just finished his drink when Donghua Dijun came to Mo Mo's side.
"I'm leaving, and I have a feeling that it might be a long time before I can come back," Mo Mo said softly, gazing into the distance.
"That's a real pity. It seems my daughter is not meant to be with you."
"Oh! Donghua, congratulations! Although I may not be able to witness the birth of your daughter, I still need a gift. However, most of the things I have on me are things I need, so I can't give them to her. In that case, I'll give her my Imperial Palace instead. I don't know how long I'll be gone, and perhaps when I come back next time, everything will have changed. So I might as well give it to her."
"Take care, come back alive."
"Don't worry, I'm just going on a long trip, not going to my death. I'm leaving now, take care." With that, he took the wine pot from Donghua's hand, filled a cup to the brim, and drank it all in one gulp.
At Taichen Palace, Bai Fengjiu saw Donghua Dijun return and hurriedly went to greet him, saying, "Did you tell my uncle? What gift is he planning to give our daughter?"
"He's gone, and before he left, he gave his mansion to our daughter. So many years have passed, and one old friend after another has departed. Who will be next?" Emperor Donghua held up the wine cup in his hand with a complicated expression. It was the same wine cup that Mo Mo had just used.

Chapter 51 Reunion with Ye Fan
A raging inferno shot into the sky, incinerating everything on the earth. Strangely, however, there was no burning material on the ground, nor were there any cracks. Moreover, as far as the eye could see, there was nothing but fire. Suddenly, in a certain part of the endless fire domain, space rippled slowly like the surface of water, and then a young man dressed in white robes stepped out.
"What's going on? Why are there fires everywhere? Luckily, they're not too powerful. But isn't this the world of Shrouding the Heavens? Let's leave here first and figure out what's going on." As soon as he finished speaking, the space in front of the boy began to crack, filled with countless fissures, but it didn't completely shatter.
Mo Mo frowned as he looked at the cracked space in front of him, stretched out his hands and tore open the nearly broken space, then stepped inside.
"Strange, what's going on? Why are there these strange regions everywhere, and there's not a single person in sight?" As he spoke, the young man continued to tear through space above a world of ice and snow.
After tearing through space for the eighth time, the boy's eyes narrowed. Instead of continuing to tear through space to travel, he flew to the right. After flying for about half an incense stick's time, the sound from ahead grew louder and louder. After flying forward for less than a minute, the boy suddenly stopped.
"This is an imperial war! And it's actually a war between multiple emperors! No wonder the spatial interference here is so strong, no wonder there isn't a single living being here. In a war between multiple emperors, even a quasi-emperor would be reduced to ashes, let alone ordinary living beings."
Mo Mo was shocked when he saw the scene before him. He then began to doubt whether his supernatural powers had failed him. However, when he sensed the familiar aura of the Emperor-level beings fighting in front of him, Mo Mo knew that he had not come to the wrong place. This was the world of Shrouding the Heavens.
Looking at the crowds fighting in front of him, and thinking about the plot of "Covering the Sky," a sudden thought flashed through Mo Mo's mind: "Holy crap, could it be that I've come to the time of the Battle of the Heavens?"
Suddenly, Mo Mo's eyes sharpened, and he quickly moved to the left using the "Xing" technique. Then he turned around and threw a punch backward, which collided with a golden fist. Only then did Mo Mo realize who had ambushed him.
