Chapter 61 –  Extra Chapter 1 – Radiant Love

The elderly immortals had never witnessed such a lively scene in the Upper Realm. They craned their necks, eager to catch a glimpse of the Divine Lord coaxing his wife. However, with the gates of the immortal palace tightly shut, not even a rabbit’s hair could be seen, let alone any coaxing.

But…

Fairy Jiaojiao’s authoritative demeanor was truly something to behold.

On her very first day among the immortals, she had stormed into the Underwater Cave and nearly swallowed her “rival” whole. The Matchmaker God strolled over, gazing at the withered Qingyao Grass on the ground and sighed softly, “Why did you provoke her?

“Times have changed. Now, she has a powerful backer.”

Rabbits eating grass is a natural cycle. Fairy Qingyao had intruded into the Mortal Tribulation of the Literature Star without permission. Now that the two had achieved their destined union, the backlash of their love’s karma had affected this poor grass, which was also in accordance with the natural cycle.

Just as he was about to walk away, Fairy Qingyao stubbornly lifted her head, her face pale. “Matchmaker God, save me…”

In the Literature Immortal Palace.

Outside, the storm raged on, but inside the palace, the doors remained closed. The immortal attendants wisely finished their tasks and retreated. Cui Ti stayed in her large rabbit form, as if remaining this way would keep her “fierce” for a bit longer.

Pei Xuan indulgently let her be, gazing at the rabbit with eyes filled with affection for her beloved.

Her gaze was so intense that Cui Ti felt both shy and annoyed. She was embarrassed to be stared at so intently, and annoyed that it had taken eight lifetimes to finally win over this beautiful rabbit.

Foolish!

The two of them were foolish together, their love progressing slowly and awkwardly. Cui Ti flicked her fluffy, short rabbit tail, not noticing the Divine Lord’s eyes shining behind her.

His gaze was like fire.

Radiant as blooming peach blossoms.

In the mortal world, Dou Qingyue was actually an immortal grass growing beside the Ink-washing Pool in the Literature Immortal Palace. Day after day, she observed the Divine Lord’s figure, her heart filled with infatuation, purified by his aura.

Seeing the Literature Star secretly admire the rabbit spirit across lifetimes, she sneaked down to the reincarnation platform without anyone knowing and was reborn into the Dou Family as Pei Xuan’s younger female cousin.

That was Cui Ti and Pei Xuan’s seventh lifetime.

They were supposed to achieve their destined union and soar together.

But Dou Qingyue, coveting her “older male cousin” and consumed by jealousy, murdered Cui Ti, who had become her “cousin’s wife,” by pushing her into a lotus pond to drown.

This caused the two lovers to finally achieve their destined union only after eight lifetimes.

On the day of their ascension, Cui Ti’s mind was clear, and the past became evident.

The giant rabbit trotted over to the Ink-washing Pool, her long ears twitching, and her front paws raised high. Before Pei Xuan could remind her to be careful, the rabbit’s paws had already destroyed the pool.

The Ink-washing Pool, as the name suggests, was used by the Literature Star for cleaning her brushes and inkstones. The water was pitch black, with a subtle flow of literary aura and immortal essence. Now, the ink splashed everywhere, staining the white-furred rabbit.

…

Pei Xuan’s heart tightened. “Titi?”

Cui Ti turned her head to look at her, a complex expression on her rabbit face.

Destroying the Ink-washing Pool had turned the snow-white rabbit into a mismatched black-and-white one. Her bright red eyes, round and sparkling, outshone all the rubies in heaven and earth.

She was just…

Too adorable.

The Literature Star suppressed her excitement, clenching her fists, her radiant immortal robes betraying her inner joy.

The giant rabbit remained silent for a moment, thinking: Making silly mistakes is a rabbit’s job, what does it have to do with “Titi”?

Feeling justified, she glared at Pei Xuan. “It’s all your fault.”

“My fault, my fault…”

Pei Xuan raised her lips and rubbed her beautiful long ears. They were soft and warm to the touch, making the rabbit immortal stomp her feet in embarrassment.

“Stop stomping.” The Literature Star’s tone was gentle, holding back laughter. “You’ll shatter the jade tiles of the immortal palace.”

…

The rabbit froze, then reacted by biting Pei Xuan’s shoulder.

Hidden in the shadows, the immortal attendants shed tears of joy. After eight lifetimes in the mortal world, their Divine Lord finally learned how to flirt. Holding the rabbit’s chubby little paw, Pei Xuan suggested, “Shall we wash up in the Qingying Pool?”

The Qingying Pool was the sacred bath of the Literature Star, elegant and ethereal, filled with immortal aura.

To accommodate both of them was truly extravagant.

Cui Ti felt fortunate that she was still in her rabbit form. When she appeared in her original form, she was more carefree, relying on her fluffy white fur to hide any blush. Boldly, she hooked the Divine Lord’s pinky finger and stepped into the water.

Her actions made Pei Xuan’s heart itch.

In the same immortal palace, many years ago, on a whim, she had used the Heaven-Gazing Mirror to look at the mortal world. A snow-white rabbit had caught her eye.

The white rabbit had been crouching on the ground, then transformed into a human. Her moist, slightly red eyes, and her naked, beautiful body were like a painting. Her delicate white ankles brushed against the low branches of the mountain. She looked up slowly, eyes full of innocence. “How strange, who is watching me?”

Through the mirror, they locked eyes-one in the light, the other hidden in the shadows. A faint sound echoed in Pei Xuan’s heart, planting a seed of affection that slowly took root, sprouted, and grew into an unignorable towering tree.

Thus began her secret love.

For eight hundred years, she watched her through the mirror, too reserved to utter a single word.

Every time she saw her, her breathing would shallow, and sometimes she even had to hold her breath.

This was a sensation the Literature Star had never experienced before.

She watched her transform from an innocent, naked girl into the rabbit tyrant of Qiong Mountain. She witnessed her get injured and use another body to venture into the Mortal Realm.

The rabbit spirit would tug at Pei Xuan’s clothes, cry out in pain, her wet, soft eyes turning red and bright. Without questioning the cause, without any reason, Pei Xuan stepped into her Mortal Tribulation.

Her Mortal Tribulation came many years later than other immortal lords, but it struck with ferocity.

The rabbit’s lips lightly brushed against hers, snapping Pei Xuan out of her reverie. Her fair face gradually reddened, her ink-black hair cascading over her jade shoulders. Cui Ti’s heart fluttered as she peeled off Pei Xuan’s robe.

The wet fabric clung to her perfect figure, half-revealing, half-concealing, reminiscent of their wedding night.

Cui Ti’s heart trembled, but her hands were unrelenting.

On the first day of the Divine Lord’s return, a rabbit had managed to make her blush furiously, an amusing sight.

The rabbit immortal laughed softly in her arms, the sound melodious. Pei Xuan’s expression softened, her embarrassment fading in an instant. She thought this was quite wonderful. Her flustered state made Titi laugh more, and nothing could be better than that.

She loved Titi in her human form, and she loved the stubborn rabbit who refused to transform back.

Her heart felt warm.

It was as if, after drifting for years, she had finally found her home.

“Xingguang, why do you blush so easily?”

Her voice was like licking sugar, soft and sweet. Pei Xingguang loved being called “Pei Xingguang.” When she called her “Xingguang,” the name sounded so fitting coming from her lips.

Her feelings surged like flowing water, boiling and unstoppable.

She held the rabbit immortal’s soft, plump waist and whispered tenderly, “Niangzi.”

After countless lifetimes, their love was finally complete. She called affectionately, “Niangzi, my dear Niangzi…”

The passionate affection was overwhelming, making Cui Ti belatedly feel flushed.

The rabbit melted into water, emerging from the pool as a woman with bright eyes, white teeth, and a face like rosy clouds.

She was moved.

Unable to maintain her rabbit form, she revealed her delicate, graceful figure, as soft as spring water, before Pei Xuan. Realizing this, Cui Ti gasped, burying her face in Pei Xuan’s neck, showing her only the jade-white, graceful curve of her back and the subtle hollows of her waist.

Pei Xuan’s eyes darkened, her hand tightening around Cui Ti’s waist. Cui Ti couldn’t resist, responding weakly with a soft hum. Her breath brushed against the Literature Star’s sensitive skin, sending an unseen shiver through her.

One hand caressed her back, the waves of passionate heat making the titi rabbit inexplicably want to cry.

Tears trickled down, flowing over the Divine Lord’s elegant, straight collarbone.

Pei Xuan lowered her head, just as the tearful beauty looked up.

Their eyes met, and Cui Ti couldn’t help but hold her tightly, wanting to be close to her for all lifetimes, never to be separated again.

The bold, mischievous rabbit immortal was nowhere to be found; taking charge was the “Young Madam Pei,” who couldn’t withstand any teasing. Pei Xuan adored them both.

Ripples stirred in the Qingying Pool.

On the third day of the Literature Star’s return and the rabbit spirit’s ascension to immortality, Qing Yao, a young immortal whose cultivation had regressed significantly, followed the Matchmaker God’s guidance. She erased her memories and descended to the Mortal Realm to endure her “unattainable tribulation.”

Eight lifetimes, with countless unattainable desires.

The document was submitted to the Literature Star’s immortal palace. Pei Xuan didn’t say much, she carried a document into the inner chamber, presenting it to her still-drowsy wife.

Cui Ti, half-awake, struggled to sit up. The hibiscus quilt slipped, revealing her jade-white shoulders. Unaware of how alluring this scene was, her voice was slightly hoarse, “Let her go.”

She had already fought.

Her anger had dissipated.

Offending the Divine Lord and meddling in another’s Mortal Tribulation was a capital offense, punishable by stripping one of their immortal bones and destroying their immortal status.

But Cui Ti had already given a lesson upon her return.

In the Mortal Realm, the reincarnated Qing Yao had caused her death, a blood debt that Xingguang had avenged in the seventh lifetime.

The rabbit’s heart was as vast as a boat, and she softly said, “I have no objections.”

Pei Xuan leaned down to kiss her forehead, “Sleep a little longer?”

Cui Ti’s body was utterly exhausted, an indescribable fatigue.

In the Mortal Realm, she had been Young Madam Pei for over a decade, yet never had she felt so drained after just one night.

Watching her fall asleep, Pei Xuan stayed by the bedside, full of regret for her recklessness the previous day. As she stepped outside, she suddenly remembered the Matchmaker God’s words that morning, suggesting good news was imminent. She tried to calculate it with her fingers but couldn’t make any sense of it.

Even as a Divine Lord, one of the highest beings in the Upper Realm, calculating one’s own destiny still depended on the will of the heavens.

She didn’t force it.

After approving the red ink and finalizing the plan for Qing Yao to descend to the Mortal Realm, she stood alone on the cloud bridge, watching the magnificent sight of the vast Milky Way flowing gradually.

“Divine Lord! Something’s wrong! Madam…” An immortal attendant named Wendao came rushing over.

Pei Xuan’s heart skipped a beat; the next moment, she was already at the gates of the immortal palace.

“Greetings, Immortal Lord!”

The immortal attendants hurriedly bowed to her.

They hadn’t expected her to return so quickly.

“How is Madam?”

“She started complaining of abdominal pain about a quarter of an hour ago…”

Abdominal pain?

Pushing aside the beaded curtain, Pei Xuan stepped into the inner chamber, only to see a snow-white rabbit lying on the bed, having reverted to its original form. Startled, she exclaimed, “Niangzi?!”

Cui Ti was in such pain that beads of sweat dampened her pristine fur. Not wanting Xingguang to see her in this state, she kicked her legs, misjudging her strength and causing Pei Xuan to stumble back two steps, her eyes dazed: “You…”

How embarrassing.

The rabbit immortal covered her face with her front paws.

The next moment, a stronger wave of pain hit, as if her abdomen was being twisted by a knife.

Pei Xuan dared not take any chances. She stepped forward to examine her, her palm glowing with divine power as she placed it on Cui Ti’s furry belly.

The pain subsided but was quickly replaced by waves of unbearable fullness, like she had overeaten.

People from the Literature Star Palace arrived, and the Immortal Healer, carrying a medical box, hurried over nonstop.

As soon as one foot crossed the threshold, a peculiar force filled the vast immortal palace.

It was…

The divine power of the Literature Star?

Pei Xuan’s brows furrowed as she placed her palm on her wife’s belly, her righteous and mighty divine power continuously infiltrating. Unable to withstand the pressure of her divine power, Cui Ti felt nauseous.

Her mouth opened slightly, and a strange scene unfolded-

A pure white light orb reluctantly floated out of her mouth, rose into the air, and then, under the threatening gaze of the Literature Star, fell to the ground.

The light orb rolled on the ground, transforming into a small rabbit.

Its eyes were red, its ears drooping, and it looked timidly at the parents who had given it life.

It was about to cry.
