Chapter 373 Returning to Mount Shu
After Xuejian and the others left, Jingtian sneaked back to Wuji Pavilion. He carefully looked around before closing the door. Then he went to Qingwei's side, circled her around and looked her over carefully several times, and occasionally glanced at Momo, who was also sitting to the side and had not left.
"Child, I knew you would come back. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask. I will answer everything I know without reservation." Qingwei wasn't annoyed by Jingtian's scrutinizing gaze; she remained as kind as ever.
"Old man, didn't you say that you would die if you eliminated the evil thoughts? How come you are still alive and well now that the evil thoughts have been eliminated? Were you lying to me before? Or did our mission fail because the evil thoughts were not completely eliminated?" With Qingwei's permission, Jingtian finally asked the question that was on his mind.
Qingwei stroked his beard and smiled as he looked at Jingtian, saying, "I didn't lie to you before. After the evil thought was eliminated, the five of us would indeed die. Your mission did not fail. The evil thought was indeed completely eliminated."
"You said you weren't lying to me, that eliminating the evil thoughts would kill you, but now that the evil thoughts have been eliminated, you're still alive. Isn't that contradictory? Old man, if you're going to lie, at least come up with a good reason. Although I'm quite happy that you're still alive, you don't have to lie to me! Besides, now that the mission is complete, you don't need to lie anymore. I won't mind." Jing Tian sat down in the chair next to Qing Wei, crossed his legs, and said casually.
Seeing Jing Tian's expression, Qingwei smiled and said, "I didn't lie to you. The evil thoughts were expelled from our bodies. Although they are no longer inside us, they are still a part of us. Logically, we should go with them after they dissipate. However, some accidents happened along the way. After you entered the Demon Realm, our connection with it was suddenly severed, as if someone had cut off our connection. That's why the evil thoughts were eliminated, but we were unharmed." After Qingwei finished speaking, she nodded gratefully to Mo Mo beside her. Seeing this, Jing Tian understood that this was most likely related to him or his "master".
Since this matter concerns Mo Mo, he doesn't need to concern himself with it; it's a matter between Mo Mo and Shu Mountain. After emphasizing their agreement to Qing Wei, he left. They had been traveling around for this mission, leaving them physically and mentally exhausted. On the other hand, Mo Mo had pulled this stunt on their way back, so he was truly tired. Now, a huge weight had been lifted from his heart, and he could finally go back and get a good night's sleep. Just thinking about how Xu Changqing would return and repair the Demon Locking Tower, and Yong'an Pawnshop would belong to him, made him feel lighter and even a little lightheaded.
After Jing Tian left, Qing Wei quickly stood up, bowed to Mo Mo, and said, "Thank you for saving me, Senior. On behalf of Shu Mountain, I thank you for your great kindness. If you ever ask for anything in the future, as long as it does not violate morality, the entire Shu Mountain will repay you with our lives." After saying that, Qing Wei bowed to Mo Mo again.
"No need for that. I saved you because although you five were the culprits behind this incident, you did care about the world and once saved countless lives. And most importantly, I didn't like that thing. Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll go back." With that, Mo Mo got up and left before Qingwei could agree.
Watching Mo Mo's disappearing figure at the doorway, Qingwei felt a deep respect. To accomplish something and then leave without a trace, concealing one's merits and fame—this was the conduct of a truly virtuous and accomplished person. They still had a long way to go to achieve that.
On the fourth day after Mo Mo and his group returned to Mount Shu, Xu Changqing and Zi Xuan also returned to Mount Shu with a baby. Soon after, news of Xu Changqing returning to Mount Shu with a woman holding a baby and their intimate behavior quickly spread throughout Mount Shu, causing a huge controversy among the disciples.
"Hey, junior brother, did you know? It seems that our senior brother brought a woman back, and that woman was holding a child. It's said to be our senior brother's child, but I don't know if it's true or not."
"Senior brother, you only find out now? It's not just a thought, it's certain. The elders have known for a long time, and it's said that the woman is from the Nuwa clan and has been in love with you for three lifetimes."
"This woman is quite devoted, and she's a good match for Senior Brother. I just don't know how the elders will handle this. After all, our Shu Mountain is a cultivation sect, and disciples are not allowed to get married."
"Yes, I hope Senior Brother is alright."
The discussions among the Shu Mountain disciples outside the hall did not affect Xu Changqing and Zi Xuan, who were deeply in love inside. The two leaned against each other, teasing Xiao Qing'er, their faces full of happiness. The Yuan Shen Elder, who had rushed back in a rage to reprimand Xu Changqing, trembled at the sight. All his anger slowly dissipated in the warm and sweet smiles of the two.
"Is this what you wanted?" Yuan Shen recalled the past and realized that his beloved disciple had never shown such a happy smile before. Even when he received praise in the past, although he was happy, the smile on his face was faint.
Just then, Qingwei came up behind him, gently patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Changqing is very happy. I've never seen him smile so happily since I came out. We really shouldn't force the burden of Shu Mountain onto his shoulders. Perhaps he prefers his current life to becoming an immortal."
Just then, Zixuan nudged Xu Changqing with her elbow, and Xu Changqing snapped out of his sweet reverie while teasing his daughter. He quickly bowed to Qingwei and Yuanshen, who came out from the side hall, and said, "Greetings, Sect Leader, Master."
After the two nodded in response, Xu Changqing suddenly bent down and knelt on the ground, saying, "Changqing has failed the cultivation of Master and the elders. Please punish me, Sect Leader." Seeing this, Zixuan was about to kneel down as well, but Qingwei quickly stepped forward to help her up and prevent her from kneeling, saying, "No, we can't bear you kneeling like that."
“The two elders are Changqing’s elders, and I am Changqing’s wife. It is only right that I kneel.” As she spoke, Zixuan knelt down again. At this moment, Yuanshen suddenly pulled Qingwei away and accepted Zixuan’s kneeling with him. Xu Changqing was overjoyed when he saw this. He pulled Zixuan down to kneel and bow to the two of them. After three bows, the two of them were pulled up by Yuanshen and Qingwei.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master." Xu Changqing's eyes were filled with tears. He had never expected that his master, whom he had always thought was the most stubborn, would be so easy to talk to this time.
"Don't rush to thank me. Although I've agreed to your request, it doesn't mean you're no longer related to Mount Shu. You'll still be the senior disciple of Mount Shu, but you won't be qualified to succeed as the sect leader. Who told you to bring your wife and daughter back before becoming the sect leader? Also, since you've accepted Zixuan, you have to shoulder the burden of the Nuwa clan with her. Otherwise, don't blame me for cleaning up the sect." The Yuan Shen Elder's tone was as stern as ever, but it softened considerably towards the end.
"Congratulations, Changqing! When will you invite us to your wedding?" At this moment, Mo Mo and Jing Tian also came out from the side hall. They had seen everything that happened in the main hall.
Looking at the genuine smiles on Mo Mo and Jing Tian's faces, filled with joy that he and Zi Xuan deserved happiness, Xu Changqing felt a surge of pride and said loudly, "Don't worry, you'll get your share. There will be plenty of wine."

Chapter 374 Wish Fulfilled
Three months later, the entire Shu Mountain seemed to be dyed a festive red, and cultivators from all over the world flocked to Shu Mountain in various flying vehicles. All of this was because Xu Changqing, the eldest disciple of Shu Mountain, was getting married, and his bride was from the Nuwa clan. This news shocked the world, and all sects, whether they had received an invitation or not, rushed to Shu Mountain.
A disciple from another sect looked at the endless stream of guests in the square with a shocked expression and exclaimed, "This is truly an unprecedented spectacle! I never expected that the Shu Mountain sect, which always forbids its disciples from getting emotional, would hold such a high-profile wedding for its disciples. No wonder it's such a grand occasion."
The disciple from another sect next to him exclaimed in agreement, "Who says otherwise? I've heard that almost every sect with a bit of fame in the world has gathered here. It's truly a grand gathering in the cultivation world!"
Just then, a beautiful young woman who had just stepped down from a snow-white crane heard their conversation and said with a look of infatuation, "Such a grand event is just a wedding. That woman named Zixuan is so lucky. I wish I could take her place."
On a pavilion opposite the square, Xuejian grabbed Jingtian's ear with one hand and pointed at the endless stream of guests below, saying loudly, "Stinky tofu, do you see that? If our wedding isn't as grand as Changqing and Zixuan's, hmph, don't blame us for turning our backs on you."
"Ouch, let go, let go." Jing Tian moved closer to Xue Jian and said with a smile, "How could that be? Don't worry, I promise our wedding will be ten times grander than theirs." Xue Jian snorted and released her grip on Jing Tian's ear.
After playfully fighting for a while, the two looked down at the dwindling number of guests and then glanced at the sun in the sky. Feeling that the time was almost up, they went down from the pavilion and headed towards the main hall of Mount Shu. Calculating the time, it was almost time for the wedding ceremony.
At this moment, the originally solemn and dignified main hall was decorated with a festive atmosphere. The Holy Maiden and the Primordial Spirit sat in the main seats representing the elders of both the bride and groom. The Primordial Spirit and other elders stood on both sides. Chang Yin, as the master of ceremonies, stood on the right side of the entrance of the hall, next to Qing Wei. Mo Mo and Jing Tian stood on both sides of the hall. With Chang Yin's announcement that "the auspicious time has arrived," Xu Changqing and Zi Xuan, dressed in the bride and groom's bright red wedding robes, walked in from outside the door.
As Chang Yin chanted and shouted, the wedding ceremony officially began. The first bow to heaven and earth, the second bow to the parents, the couple bowed to each other, and the third bow ceremony quickly ended. However, this was not the end, but the beginning. Toasting the guests, returning the greetings, and so on, the banquet slowly dispersed when the moon was high in the sky. If it weren't for Mo Mo and the bridesmaids serving as best men and bridesmaids to shield them from the drinks, Xu Changqing would probably have been drunk to a pulp by his ignorant junior brothers, and his wedding night would have been completely ruined.
Watching Xu Changqing stagger towards the bridal chamber, Mo Mo suddenly recalled the four great joys he had heard of before: rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, passing the imperial examination, and the wedding night. At this moment, Xu Changqing and Zi Xuan were probably enjoying the happiest and most joyful time of their lives, especially Zi Xuan. She had endured hardships for more than a hundred years, and now she was finally able to fulfill her wish and be with him.
When Mo Mo saw Xu Changqing's drunken junior brothers, he suddenly remembered the four great sorrows added by later generations: a long drought meets with a single drop of rain; meeting an old friend in a foreign land is met with a deadly enemy; passing the imperial examination is met in a dream; and the wedding night is met with a neighbor's house.
Mo Mo didn't know if Xu Changqing's junior brothers were sad, but Mo Mo was definitely not sad. However, Jing Tian was definitely sad, because although Xue Jian and Long Kui had decided to follow him, unfortunately, the two sides had not yet gone through the marriage arrangements and had not been married. So when Xu Changqing returned to his new house and was being affectionate with Zi Xuan, he could only watch Xue Jian and the others drool, but he could not cross the line in the slightest.
Demon Lord Chonglou also attended Xu Changqing's wedding, but due to his sensitive identity, he did not reveal it to avoid unnecessary trouble. Jing Tian, provoked by Xu Changqing, is currently challenging Demon Lord Chonglou to a drinking contest, but judging from his appearance, he won't last much longer. Mo Mo doesn't plan to participate in this contest. Although he still enjoys drinking, his palate has long been spoiled. If he hadn't been able to thoroughly humiliate Jing Tian and the others the previous two times, he wouldn't have drunk so much. And it's not fun to always torment the kids, so Mo Mo decided to let them go today.
Upon returning to his room, Mo Mo found that the little fox was indeed already waiting for him. Realizing that he hadn't been back to the small world for many days, he set up an isolation array in his room and then took the little fox back to the small world.
After showing the little fox around the small world and finding everything normal, Mo Mo led the little fox back to their home in the small world. Their home was on a wide platform halfway up a mountain, planted with all kinds of flowers and fruits. Their house was nestled against the mountainside, and in front of the house was a lake, a thousand meters in diameter. From above, it looked like a huge gem embedded in the mountainside. Near the house, a vegetable garden had been cultivated, lush and green, with all kinds of fruits and vegetables growing freely.
Looking at the lush vegetable garden, Mo Mo patted the little fox's head and said with a smile, "Is this the vegetable garden you cultivated? It's not bad. Go pick some vegetables, and I'll go hunt some game. I'll cook you something delicious later."
"Delicious?" The little fox's eyes lit up, and she swallowed hard. Then she looked at Mo Mo expectantly and said, "Can I eat Phoenix Tail Chicken?" But after she finished speaking, the little fox's eyes dimmed again, and she murmured softly, "Let's forget it. Sister Kaguya said that Phoenix Tail Chicken has the bloodline of the Heavenly Phoenix. It was something that Brother Mo Mo found with great difficulty. It can't be eaten casually. Besides, I can't withstand that violent spiritual power right now."
Looking at the little fox with a disappointed face, Mo Mo affectionately patted her head and said with a smile, "Silly girl, in this world, whether it is an animal or a plant, as long as you can withstand the spiritual power it contains, as long as you can capture and kill them, you can enjoy them to your heart's content without affecting the continuation and growth of their species. Of course, there is one condition for all of this, which is that you cannot waste them."
"Really?" The little fox's eyes brightened again, and as if she had thought of something, a glistening smile appeared on her lips. Mo Mo gently flicked her pretty nose and said with a smile, "Of course it's true, but before that, wipe your drool."
The little fox raised her delicate hand and wiped her lips, only to find that no saliva had actually come out. Slightly embarrassed and annoyed, she punched Mo Mo with her pink fist and then hopped away. The direction she left was the vegetable garden. After the little fox left, Mo Mo also left, as he still needed to prepare some meat ingredients.

Chapter 375: Solving the Mystery and the Wedding March
More than an hour later, a sumptuous feast with excellent color, aroma and taste was laid out on an antique round table. The ingredients used in the dishes were all-encompassing, including everything that flies in the sky, crawls on the ground, and swims in the water. There was also dragon liver and phoenix marrow. Although the dragon and phoenix were not purebred, they were still rare and exquisite. Mo Mo had prepared seven phoenix tail chickens, which the little fox had been longing for, and they were made into various different flavors.
"Wow, my favorite Phoenix Tail Chicken! All of mine is mine!" The little fox couldn't take her eyes off the Phoenix Tail Chicken on the table. She pounced on the table and started eating, not caring about anything else. She didn't care whether she would overeat and get indigestion or be overwhelmed by the spiritual energy in the food. At this moment, all she could see were the delicious food on the table.
"What a little glutton." Looking at the little fox with oil all over his mouth, Mo Mo affectionately wiped it with a tissue. But as soon as Mo Mo finished wiping it, she turned around and had oil all over her mouth again. Mo Mo shook his head at this. Seeing this, Hui Ye and the others smiled slightly and picked up their chopsticks to taste the food on the table. After all, Mo Mo rarely had the opportunity to cook for himself, and this meal was no ordinary dish. All the ingredients used were rare and precious materials that Mo Mo had specially collected in the small world. It could be said that after eating this meal, they would not need to absorb any spiritual energy for a year. They could just refine the spiritual energy in their bodies.
An hour later, Mo Mo carried the six girls, whose bellies were round from eating, one by one, to the hot spring inside the house. The hot spring was oval-shaped, about seven or eight meters in diameter. At its shallowest point, the water only reached the thighs, just enough to submerge the shoulders when sitting down. At its deepest point, it reached the chin when standing up. The water was crystal clear, without a trace of sulfur, but instead filled with a faint fragrance that soothed the mind and body. Moreover, this hot spring could not only relieve fatigue, but also promote the absorption of spiritual energy, making it an ideal place for cultivation. This was why Mo Mo had carried them here.
Of the six, the little fox was the last one Mo Mo picked up, because she ate the most. When Mo Mo carried the other five people back to the hot spring, she was still eating in small bites, which made Mo Mo quite amused and exasperated. Finally, Mo Mo promised to cook her a full meal of the same size after she had digested all the spiritual energy, which finally made the little foodie stop.
After placing the little fox in the hot spring, Mo Mo prepared to leave. He still had to clean up the mess. The leftovers still possessed abundant spiritual energy, and it would be a waste to throw them away directly. He planned to tidy them up and then add some ingredients to make feed for the fish in the lake near the cabin. However, the little fox held him tightly and wouldn't let him leave. Seeing this, Mo Mo didn't insist and carried her to sit in the hot spring.
Mo Mo held the little fox in his arms and leaned against the pool wall. The little fox rested her head on Mo Mo's shoulder, closed her eyes, and nestled peacefully in his embrace. After about ten minutes, the little fox opened her beautiful, ethereal eyes and stared intently at Mo Mo's face. After five or six seconds, she reached out her jade-like little hand and stroked Mo Mo's face, saying with dreamy eyes, "Why are you so good to me? I won't want to leave you."
"Leave me?" Mo Mo, who was thinking about other things, was startled by the little fox's sudden words, so he lowered his head and asked with some confusion, "Why are you suddenly saying such things? Why do you want to leave?"
Finally, under Mo Mo's persistent questioning, the little fox revealed the truth. Looking at the earnest little fox, and then at Chu Jian and Chu Chen sitting beside them, fully refining their spiritual energy, Mo Mo felt a mix of amusement and pity. Chu Chen and Chu Jian were clearly joking, but the little fox had taken it seriously. However, the little fox's next words made Mo Mo fall into deep thought.
According to the little fox, Mo Mo concluded that Chu Jian and Chu Chen were indeed joking at first, but later it might not have been a simple joke. They might really have such thoughts, because during this period they began to cultivate as hard as the little fox, and from time to time they would cultivate with Mo Mo like the little fox. Moreover, when they were in the small world, they also began to learn alchemy and weapon crafting techniques, and frequently entered the library, memorizing a large number of secrets and cultivation methods. Mo Mo knew that they might not really want to leave Mo Mo now, but he believed that as long as there was an opportunity and conditions that were attractive enough to them, the two of them would definitely leave Mo Mo.
However, Mo Mo didn't care at all. He didn't believe anyone else could have such abundant resources and such preferential treatment as him. Besides, Mo Mo's relationship with them was only like an employment relationship. They worked for Mo Mo, and Mo Mo provided them with resources. Although some amusing things happened, it was all consensual and mutually beneficial, without any real love involved. So even if Chu Jian and Chu Chen left, Mo Mo wouldn't feel anything. Therefore, Mo Mo wasn't too concerned. But the little fox was different. He genuinely liked this innocent and cute little fox. Moreover, the little fox was too naive. If she really left Mo Mo, she would probably be devoured by other monsters. Therefore, Mo Mo would never allow the little fox to leave.
After Mo Mo comforted her, the little fox finally gave up the idea of leaving him. She also realized that Chu Jian and Chu Chen had been joking all along, and that Mo Mo was indeed very good to her. She really enjoyed being with Mo Mo, so after receiving his assurance, she fell asleep sweetly in his arms. Looking at the little fox's sweet smile, Mo Mo's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. He gently adjusted his hands to make the little fox more comfortable.
A month later, red lanterns were hung at the door of every household in Yuzhou City, and red ribbons were tied to every tree. The entire city of Yuzhou was draped in a bright red, and the road from Yong'an Pawnshop to Tangjiabao was covered with red ribbons. Everyone in Yuzhou City had a face full of joy. The reason for all this was very simple: the eldest daughter of the Tang family was going to marry Jing Tian, the great hero who had saved the world, and two princesses from the Jiang Kingdom would be with her.
The wealthy and powerful Tang family lord generously declared that the wedding day would be a celebration for the entire city, with every household receiving ten coins and a jar of wine. Of course, this was beyond the Tang family's means, but let's not forget that Jing Tian had a good brother, Xu Changqing. Although Shushan was a Taoist sect, it was not lacking in gold and silver. Thus, the scene before us came to be. Moreover, this celebration for the entire city was not just a formality. On the wedding day, all the cooks in Yuzhou City sprang into action, starting preparations at midnight and working in two shifts to continuously prepare various kinds of food. The people then went to serve the dishes themselves. The entire city of Yuzhou was filled with banquets, from the streets to the alleys. It was truly a celebration for the entire city, meaning that anyone in Yuzhou City could enjoy this celebratory drink.
Before dusk, while the entire city of Yuzhou was immersed in a sea of celebration, carts covered with red cloth were unloaded from the back gate of Tangjiabao. After leaving Tangjiabao, these carts headed to various parts of Yuzhou. These were fireworks that Tangjiabao had been working day and night to produce. They would be set up all over the city, and when the time came, the entire city of Yuzhou would be enveloped in a dazzling display of lights that would never sleep.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 376 Having Children
The wedding proceeded very smoothly. Jing Tian, dressed in a red groom's robe, rode a tall brown horse, amidst the envious, jealous, and blessing gazes of countless people. He walked along the streets draped with red silk, accompanied by music and celebration, towards Tangjiabao. After a series of ceremonies, he successfully received Xue Jian, dressed in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, and two Long Kui. However, a small incident occurred when he was picking them up. Because the bride's feet could not touch the ground when she left the house, the groom had to carry her to the bridal sedan chair. But Jing Tian had three brides for this wedding, so choosing who to carry first became a very difficult question.
This problem truly stumped Jing Tian. Although the three of them had a good relationship and were willing to share Jing Tian, they were still very concerned about the importance they held in Jing Tian's heart. Therefore, if Jing Tian did not handle it well, it could easily cause resentment among them.
Jing Tian was naturally quick-witted, and he also knew that he couldn't show favoritism in this matter. So he made a very clever decision: since carrying them one by one wouldn't work, he would carry them together. So he carried Xue Jian on his back and held one in each arm, thus solving this thorny problem. From then on, there were no more surprises at the wedding.
As Jing Tian rode his horse back to Yong'an Pawnshop with the wedding procession, night had already fallen. This was not an accident, but rather a time that Jing Tian had deliberately timed. Just as Jing Tian led Xue Jian, Long Kui, and the other two women across the brazier into the hall, a sharp whistle pierced the air, and a brilliant firework burst into bloom in the sky. That firework seemed to be a signal; before it had even completely faded, one after another, brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky, enveloping the entire city of Yuzhou in a sea of fireworks, perfectly embodying the phrase "a night sky ablaze with lights." Amidst this dazzling display of fireworks, the wedding ceremony officially began.
With the announcement of "Send them to the bridal chamber," the wedding ceremony officially ended. However, the bride and groom did not leave. Instead, they gazed up at the breathtaking scenery in the night sky. But Jing Tian quickly snapped out of his reverie, pointed to the fireworks blooming in the night sky, and said in a deep voice, "Do you like it? This is my gift to you. I, Jing Tian, swear that I will never fail you in this life. You will be my love for life, until death do us part."
Xuejian and the two Longkui were already deeply moved by the fireworks that kept blooming in the night sky. When they heard Jingtian's heartfelt vow, they were moved to tears. Joyful tears silently slid down their faces and fell onto the bright red carpet, disappearing without a trace.
After their wedding, Jing Tian and his family didn't relax; instead, they became even busier. While Xu Changqing and the Tang family had helped with his previous wedding, he was now handling the entire wedding preparations for Xu Maoshan and Hua Ying himself. Xue Jian and Long Kui, however, didn't complain at all. They knew that Xu Maoshan was Jing Tian's most important brother and family member, and he wanted to personally prepare a grand wedding for him. A week later, Yuzhou City was once again ablaze with lights, a scene of unparalleled splendor. However, the city-wide celebration didn't repeat itself. Nevertheless, the wedding was still quite grand, no less impressive than those held by wealthy merchants in the area.
On Xu Maoshan's wedding day, Mo Mo gave him a gift that, while not particularly valuable, was especially suitable for him: a Marrow Cleansing Pill that could change Xu Maoshan's physique and improve his aptitude. With this pill, Xu Maoshan could cleanse his marrow and bones. Although he could not return to his innate physique, cultivation would be no problem. Moreover, his aptitude would be better than most people's. As long as he had sufficient resources and worked hard enough, catching up with Jing Tian and the others would not be a problem.
After staying in Yuzhou City for three more days, despite Jing Tian and the others' repeated attempts to persuade him to stay, Mo Mo still left Yuzhou City. The story of Chinese Paladin 3 had ended, and there was no point in staying here any longer. Moreover, there were still several decades before the story of Chinese Paladin 1 took place, so Mo Mo decided to travel around with the little fox and show her the world.
More than a year after Mo Mo traveled the world with the little fox and the others, Mo Mo received a message from Jing Tian via his flying sword. Xue Jian had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and asked Mo Mo to help him decide what to name them. Mo Mo was happy for Jing Tian, but he decided against naming them, as he knew his own naming skills. So he replied that Mo Mo could decide for himself.
Jing Tian was quite troubled upon receiving Mo Mo's reply, as he had been driven nearly mad by the task of naming his children these past few days. It wasn't that he couldn't think of a name, but rather that there were too many to decide on. He had already given each of his two children a name—one red and one blue—as well as Xue Jian, and even Old Master Tang had chosen one. What infuriated Jing Tian the most was that even the old man Qing Wei, who was far away in Mount Shu, had gotten involved. He was already at his wit's end, which was why he wanted Mo Mo to suggest a name so that no one would object. However, to his surprise, Mo Mo directly refused.
Finally, in a fit of anger, Jing Tian decided to resolve the issue through a vote. The results showed that the boy's name was Jing Yi and the girl's name was Jing Tian. Everyone was relatively satisfied with the names, but the thought of similar situations happening again in the future sent chills down Jing Tian's spine. Both Long Kui were already pregnant, and at the same time, Zi Xuan was also pregnant with Xu Changqing's child. However, since most of the Nuwa bloodline in Zi Xuan had been transferred to Qing'er, the child's Nuwa bloodline would not be very strong even after birth. But this also had its advantages, namely that the child might not be a girl, but a boy.
Almost a year later, Mount Shu became lively again, because Zi Xuan and the two Long Kui who had come to Mount Shu to rest and prepare for childbirth were about to give birth. As soon as the news came out, people came in an endless stream to congratulate them. Mo Mo also returned to Mount Shu with the little fox who had been traveling for two years.
The reunion of old friends was naturally a great joy. That very night, Jing Tian, Xu Maoshan, and Xu Changqing got completely drunk, leaving behind only the word "pervert" before collapsing to the ground. However, even though Mo Mo had gotten them drunk, the three of them still had smiles on their faces, a joy that came from the reunion. The consequence was that the three of them had to kneel on washboards all morning the next day, leaving the little fox who followed Mo Mo dumbfounded.
Three days later, Zi Xuan and the two Long Kui gave birth one after the other. At the moment of their birth, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky, and the entire Shu Mountain was bathed in golden light. After the golden light dissipated, three little lives were born into this world. To everyone's surprise, Zi Xuan gave birth to a boy. This news shocked the world. This was the only male offspring born in the Nuwa clan in thousands of years. No wonder a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky.
The two Longkui gave birth to a boy and a girl. The Longkui in red gave birth to a boy, and the Longkui in blue gave birth to a girl. After the children were born, Qingwei presided over a baptism for the three little babies. After the baptism, the three children not only became free from all diseases, but also became more extraordinary. However, only a wealthy and powerful sect like Shushan could baptize three children at once. Other sects usually did it one by one, and only those with the best aptitude received this honor.
After the baptism was completed, Mo Mo left with the little fox. Their journey around the world was only halfway complete, and there were still many places they hadn't visited. So the two continued their unfinished journey. Along the way, Huiye, Chuchen, Chujian, Wu Yu, and Wu Qian would also come out. They didn't feel lonely at all, and Mo Mo's correspondence with Jing Tian and the others had not been interrupted. Jing Tian and the others were also very eager to see the scenery in the places Mo Mo had described, but unfortunately, they were tied up with other things and couldn't get rid of them.
Two more years passed. Although Mo Mo and his companions had not traveled the entire world, they had visited every worthwhile place. So they returned to the Tang Dynasty, found a beautiful island in Linhai and settled there, waiting for the next chapter of the story to begin.
P.S.: This greeting is a little late, but I still want to say it: Happy Holidays, everyone! Have fun!

Chapter 377 Solution
As the saying goes, new talents emerge in every generation. After the incident at the Demon Locking Tower, Mo Mo and Jing Tian fell into obscurity. As time went by, the legends of Mo Mo and his companions were gradually forgotten by the world. Thus, with the parties involved deliberately downplaying the matter, apart from the older generation occasionally mentioning it, very few of the younger generation knew of Mo Mo and his companions' existence.
Time flies, and fifty years have passed in the blink of an eye. Most of the older generation have retired to the background, and now it is the era of the younger generation. The current Shu Mountain is dominated by Chang Yin's disciples, the Sword Saint and the Drunken Sword Immortal.
Sword Saint and Drunken Sword Immortal are the best of the younger generation of Shu Mountain. They are exceptionally talented and capable of standing on their own at a young age. Chang Yin, the head of Shu Mountain, had long admired Xu Changqing and his companions' travels and sightseeing. He decided to test the two of them and choose one of them to become the head of Shu Mountain so that he could extricate himself from the situation.
