Chapter 3, Immortals

Zhou Zheng could only retreat in defeat, sitting in his chair and pondering for a while, truly unable to find any clues

Indeed, Aoying blinked her eyes and said, "My husband has a heart-shaped birthmark on him, which I have verified, and I can absolutely never mistake my husband's aura."

Cough! Cough, cough, cough!

A celestial being is indeed a celestial being

Zhou Zheng, with the help of online consultations, quickly organized the folk tales before the great catastrophe, and then asked: "Are the Three Realms comprised of immortals, humans, and the underworld?"

Fumando Clinic, in the consultation room on the second floor

However, in this world, I am already without father or mother

No, officer, I really saw the serial killer!

Ao Ying replied softly, gathering her skirt, and sat on the side chair with a small part of her bottom.

Zhou Zheng: "... ... I'm tired, just do as you please"

She happily stood on tiptoe and cheerfully said, "It is only right to protect my husband!"

She spoke softly, her eyes clear and her lips slightly pursed, already appearing somewhat pitiful

Ao Ying immediately revealed a hint of a happy smile, her beautiful face, full of collagen, now glimmering with a subtle radiance

The little grey dog hurriedly said

Your esteemed self may take the seat of honor, while I shall sit at the lower position

Hmm? How do you know that

Whether to report or not is of no consequence; I, an old man, do not wish to concern myself with such trivial matters

Friend?'' Ao Ying tilted her head slightly

He called the police, but when they arrived, they scolded him.

Therefore, at the time of salvation, I vowed that once I have completed my cultivation, I will dedicate all my efforts to repay my husband's kindness

Hmm, Uncle Fu took the prescription book and a ballpoint pen, pondered for a moment, and seemed to hesitate a bit

It has just occurred to me that the fish tank must have been brought here by her herself

The little goldfish swam back and forth in the fish tank, watching Zhou Zheng lead two police officers in recreating the scene that had just occurred

Zhou Zheng not only read "Journey to the West," but also various versions prior to the great catastrophe

I

Ao Ying looked at Zhou Zheng and said softly

There is not a single reliable person to depend on

This is indeed the case

But my lord need not worry, for in my past life, when I fell, I had not yet pledged my heart to anyone, nor had I ever... ever had a marriage contract.

There is no way around this; if such matters were to be disclosed to ordinary people, they would inevitably be regarded as the ramblings of a madman

It seems that there are some issues in the celestial realm. My memories from my previous life have been integrated into my bloodline. Currently, my strength is too weak, and some memories have been sealed by my mother. I also do not remember why I have been reincarnated.

It is about being able to chat together, go out and have fun together, comfort each other during times of sadness, and lend a helping hand when faced with difficulties

In my previous life, I cultivated for three thousand years, always following my mother closely.

"Great Formation?" Zhou Zheng expressed some confusion

Zhou Zheng continuously searched for various strange legends on his phone

Zhou Zheng was startled.

The spherical Fubor stretched lazily with some effort, picked up the cake placed in front of him, took a slow bite, and let out a few comfortable hums.

It is located on the buttocks

Is that so? She tilted her head slightly and called out softly, "Zhou Zheng?"

Uncle Fu leisurely wiped his mouth, and the consultation room door opened. A small gray-haired puppy slipped in, which appeared to be a few months old Siberian Husky.

She raised her hand to cover her eyes, yet peered through her fingers with a pair of apricot-shaped eyes, shyly and timidly saying

Mr. Zhou, if you continue like this, we will have to sue you for making false reports

My name is Zhou Zheng, you can just call me Zhou Zheng, what is your name?

To Zhou Zheng

"Well," Ao Ying immediately smiled happily, "From now on, I will call you 'Husband' in front of others, and we will address each other by our names when we are alone."

That ... ...

Let's talk to Uncle Fu again and ask for his opinion

Have I caused you any trouble

Good husband! This humble servant is named Ying, and you may also call me Yingying.

The little grey dog was momentarily stunned, wondering if it had misheard something.

Now, there are two significant formations in the sky, which even the husband can see

Zhou Zheng spread his hands and explained with a smile

He just remembered that he brought this fish tank back a week ago, when the fish tank, along with a small goldfish, was placed at his doorstep, with a note on top that read in a crooked handwriting:

In the past, the posts that I thought were jokes turned out to be true

Gululu--

However, this ... ...

Zhou Zheng weakly asked, "Miss Ao, was that just now a monster? Is it the kind of monster mentioned in mythology?"

Chat with a few colleagues

Are there many demons now

This person is named Zhou Zheng, and the little princess of the Dragon Palace is currently residing in his home

I do not know why the celestial beings do not wish for mortals to know the truth of the calamities, perhaps it is also to spare mortals from excessive panic

It is more or less the same, but the term "fairy realm" is rather vague; we refer to it as the "heavenly realm"

Finally, I no longer have to hear the words "my husband"

Immortals are primarily cultivated by humans, and any spirit that seeks refuge in the heavenly court, provided it is free from karmic obstacles, has the opportunity to attain a position among the immortals

Zhou Zheng seemed to hear the sound of a police siren

You have also had quite a difficult time

This is how it looks

Having said that, she blinked and awaited Zhou Zheng's next question

About five or six minutes later

Therefore, my lord need not thank me; rather, it is I who have caused you trouble

Ao Ying pondered for a moment and said softly

Come in

It is truly rare for someone of such stature to show hesitation regarding people and matters

Zhou Zheng looked at the beautiful young girl beside him, and the aura of elegance that radiated from her made him, an ordinary person, feel truly ashamed of his own mediocrity

Zhou Zheng was forcefully pulling at the door, anxiously shouting outside: "Officer, what I am saying is true! I am really not insane!"

The little fish person tilted its head slightly and blinked gently

Zhou Zheng tightened his collar, with a hint of sorrow and indignation.

Indeed, there is such a matter

The one who has gone missing is that little princess who has just been reincarnated for a little over ten years, but now they do not dare to call themselves the Dragon Palace, as there are only three true dragons in total

A few days ago, while my husband was taking a bath, I happened to see...

Ao Ying

Ao Ying tilted her head slightly, and the bangs on her forehead swayed gently

Several images surfaced in Zhou Zheng's mind, depicting a few of his colleagues gathered together, either engrossed in playing games on their phones or enjoying meals and drinks while discussing the world outside the protective shield

Beside me stands a beautiful girl who seems to have stepped out of a myth, leaving a person hanging there, which is rather impolite

It is late at night

... ...

His birthmark is

Zhou Zheng blinked and said, "You mean the energy shield surrounding the city is a great formation from mythology?"

Zhou Zheng suddenly felt grateful that he did not skimp on a few hundred yuan when buying the table, and he gritted his teeth to purchase two dining chairs, which finally came in handy today

Miss Ao, we are having a serious conversation. I have another question, Zhou Zheng frowned and said, "Are you sure it was I who saved you?"

Adaptation is not the same as random compilation

Woof woof

Within the grand formation, it is fortunate that the focus is concentrated in a specific area, and all are engaged in virtuous deeds, with cultivators patrolling discreetly in various locations

What is this thing

The little grey dog skillfully jumped onto the chair, assumed a sitting posture, opened its mouth, and uttered a phrase in human language

Zhou Zheng turned his head and sprayed a mist of water, accompanied by a small arched rainbow

Ao Ying smiled and said: "Otherwise, how can we maintain peace in this land? The twelve great cities near the East Sea are like twelve great formations. Judging by the scale, it indeed took a considerable amount of effort from the Immortal of the Temporal World."

Yes

Uncle Fu said softly: "Xiaoyue, the little princess of the Dragon Palace is missing?"

Her face was flushed, as if it were about to drip with water

Later, when the Heavenly Court became stable, it began to recruit deities based on virtue, character, and merit, with civil and military officials assigned distinct roles to govern the three realms. My father often told me that the most formidable figures in the Heavenly Court were those civil officials who ascended in earlier years

Such loneliness and hardship, yet I have never encountered such difficulties; it is a hundredfold, a thousandfold more painful than being killed immediately.

Zhou Zheng sighed, saying: "However, if you wish to repay my kindness, then let us be friends. I am also all alone, and I lack friends in life."

In the heavenly realm, those who were strong became deities, and those who did not submit to the powerful gods were beaten and turned into demons

It is the "Journey to the West" before the catastrophe, the content of that supernatural novel is largely derived from the evolution of local operas, which is another compilation of stories from the human world

Zhou Zheng walked back to the dining table in distress, looking at the already cold dishes, and despondently held his head in his hands, trying to calm himself to analyze what to do next

Zhou Zheng originally wanted to nod, but seeing the situation, he felt a bit reluctant. He said softly: "It's not a trouble, just a little... a little confused. You saved me just now, and I haven't had the chance to thank you yet"

Hmm! Hmm!

Uncle Fu ultimately put pen to paper, writing a line in small characters, and spoke softly:

Approximately thirty years ago, a spiritual energy suddenly emerged in this world, which consequently led to some calamities and attracted the attention of demons and monsters.

Mr. Zhou Zhengfu

Fair and radiant, resembling the effects typically seen in skincare advertisements

What kind of female demon or fairy is that, who even escaped from the base of the wall! What is at the base of your wall? Do you know what reinforced concrete is? Young man! You must believe in science!

Have you read "Journey to the West"?

Is it true

He is somewhat out of breath

The young girl looked up with her almond-shaped eyes, filled with hope as she gazed at Zhou Zheng

The door was slammed shut, leaving Zhou Zheng standing behind it in a state of confusion.

Would you like to heat it up

You may consider Zhou Zheng as one of my nephews, and it is not of great importance for him to be aware of certain confidential matters, but there is no need to make it overly special.

Zhou Zheng was suddenly choked by his own saliva and hurriedly said: "No, we shouldn't speak carelessly! How can we talk about husband and non-husband... Can we sit down and have a good chat?"

Make a phone call to the family

Just like now, when I call you Ao Ying, you call me Zhou Zheng. Being able to directly address each other by name signifies that we have become friends

Then you call me ... ...

The little grey dog was somewhat puzzled: "Is she involved with people? Have you found her location?"

Zhou Zheng picked up his phone, opened several frequently visited forums on strange tales, and searched for a few posts

Ao Ying suddenly pursed her lips and said softly

The howling moon beside was somewhat surprised

A few minutes later, Zhou Zheng let out a long sigh, tossed his phone aside, and sat in the chair as if he had been petrified.

"Your husband should be able to see it too," Ao Ying said with a smile, "It is the layer of light wall in the sky outside the window, this is the city defense formation."

Zhou Zheng tentatively asked: "What is a deity? How should we define a deity?"

Upon discovering that Zhou Zheng had not "betrayed" her as per her request, Ao Ying gradually let go of her anxiety

If this little girl suddenly shouted "husband" outside, even if she is not considered a pervert, she might still be directly taken to the police station by well-meaning bystanders

Zhou Zheng stood up, looking at the young girl with a hint of tension

Upon saying this, her face slightly flushed

Moreover, remember that regardless of the time or the events and books that occur, the priority is to ensure the safety of Zhou Zheng.

Upon careful recollection, Zhou Zheng vaguely remembers that when he was six or seven years old in the orphanage, he indeed encountered a fisherman uncle who drove a tractor to deliver fish to the orphanage. At that time, he was captivated by a small fish and pleaded to keep it. Ultimately, it was released into the artificial river near the orphanage, and he even took a bath by the riverbank

Miss Ao, I believe it is better to approach the matter of marriage with caution, regarding a husband and such...

A bark echoed through the corridor that was supposed to be empty

Well, I don't have much family.

After all, from childhood to adulthood, mythological and supernatural tales have accompanied the cultural experiences of Zhou Zheng, with many television dramas and literary works related to these themes

Puff!

A crisp call came from one side, and the girl transformed from the little golden carp floated over in an ancient dress

Uncle Fu pushed up his glasses and said in a low voice: "However, at present, I am quite concerned about those who have been involved with this Dragon Lady."

Zhou Zheng immediately lost his temper upon seeing this, smiling and nodding his head

Although he ultimately decided to report to the police, he did not 'betray' the little deity who saved him, resulting in a significant gap in the story he told the police, which lacked any persuasive power

At that time, I had just regained the memories of my past life, and my heart was filled with despair and gloom. I accidentally got caught by a fisherman, who intended to send me off as a drinking companion.

"Master Fu, you summoned your subordinate here; is there any instruction you wish to give?"

Zhou Zheng smiled with satisfaction, picked up his 'old cadre' thermos, and took a sip of tea

Bang

The world in which my husband exists coexists simultaneously with other worlds

To be honest, although the current situation is absurd, it has not reached a level that Zhou Zheng cannot accept

Call Zhou Zheng! Zhou as in circumference, and Zheng as in rescue

She felt somewhat uneasy, her delicate fingers fidgeting with the hem of her skirt. She glanced up at Zhou Zheng and quickly lowered her head again, asking in a soft voice:

The female demon who just attacked my husband may have been attracted by a trace of spiritual energy within him. This trace of spiritual energy... is something I, as his wife, intentionally infused, in hopes of assisting my husband in prolonging his life.

Although they are all listed among the immortals, these three true dragons were merely minor deities responsible for controlling clouds and rain in their previous lives. Therefore, my subordinate believes that this is not a significant matter and did not report it in a timely manner
