My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty-Chapter 378: Something Involving Participation

"Could it be... Young friend already knows the positions of the Stele Eyes?" Daoist Yunlong asked tentatively.

Gu Lan’s smile deepened, and she nodded lightly.

"If Daoist can figure this out, it seems your understanding of the art of celestial mechanisms has advanced another level..."

"Young friend, until we meet again!"

Before Gu Lan could finish speaking, Daoist Yunlong immediately unleashed his escape light and returned to the Tianji Ancestry Land. After busying herself for half a day, Gu Lan had taken care of everything she needed to do outside.

"Young friend, your surprises really hurt Daoist Yunlong!"

Daoist Yunlong hastened the speed of his escape light. Long-time dealings with extraordinary individuals like Gu Lan would inevitably make an old man feel inadequate.

"Elder, you forgot your whisk!" Gu Lan called from behind.

Ahead, the escape light hesitated for a moment. The next instant, it slipped away even faster.

"Haha!"

Gu Lan shook her head with a smile, picked up the whisk, and decided that she would return it to Daoist Yunlong next time she visited the Tianji Pavilion.

The journey was uneventful. Gu Lan returned to the Jing Nation Capital City. Her first stop was the palace, where she summoned all the Demon Clan masters and informed them of the locations of the three core array eyes.

When the array masters of the Demon Clan learned that the core array eyes were Stele Eyes, their eyes lit up with excitement. Their gazes toward Gu Lan became even more worshipful.

Only the female Enchanting Demon array master showed a hint of doubt and asked, "There are four Stele Eyes in the mortal realm, but we are setting up only three core array eyes. Could there be any hidden dangers?"

Upon hearing this, the other array masters in the room furrowed their brows. They didn’t find the Enchanting Demon’s statement unreasonable; rather, they thought her suggestion quite logical. At the same time, they were also puzzled by Gu Lan’s arrangement.

"Heh!"

"Take another look at the array diagram I’ve given you. Are you sure there are only three core array eyes marked on it?"

Gu Lan chuckled softly and pointed at the giant array diagram behind the group of Demon Clan masters.

On the side, Mu Yuyan stealthily listened in the shadows. Upon hearing this, she couldn’t help but turn her head to look at the giant array diagram.

She saw Ling Mountain of the Western Buddhist Sect, Demon Realm’s Immortal Desolation Cliff, and the East Sea Dragon Palace, standing as the three pillars, with the Jing Nation naturally positioned in the center.

In an instant, Mu Yuyan understood.

Originally, all the core array eyes were merely auxiliary. From the beginning, the grand blueprint constructed by her husband had only one array eye, which was the entire Jing Nation!

The implication behind this was self-evident.

Mu Yuyan looked at Gu Lan, and their eyes met. They exchanged a meaningful glance.

In the end, Mu Yuyan was the first to relent. There were still many outsiders present, and even though the attention of the Demon Clan masters was now focused on the giant array diagram, she still felt a bit embarrassed.

Mu Yuyan slipped back into the shadows.

"I see! I see! I understand now!"

One of the Demon Clan array masters gazed at the giant array diagram, his eyes becoming increasingly bright. In a moment, his aura unexpectedly rose, breaking through a small realm on the spot.

Upon hearing his words, the others also came to understand one by one.

They stared in stunned silence at the layout of the giant array diagram.

At the same time, an infinite admiration for Gu Lan surged within their hearts.

At this moment, they couldn’t help but wonder if the hundred-year contract was too short. With the level of array skills passed down by their predecessors, it would be enough for them to study for a lifetime!

Even the Demon Clan’s artifact refining masters, drawing insights from analogy, also saw improvements in their understanding of inscribing arrays on treasures.

"Now that everyone understands..."

"Come forward and accept the task!"

Gu Lan began assigning tasks. Several high-level array masters were arranged to set up the core array eyes at Ling Mountain. The rest were sent to the Melted Origin Cave to train and work, under the pretext that learning was more important, but it also served to squeeze their labor force.

After witnessing Gu Lan’s terrifying organizational skills and array mastery, regardless of how Gu Lan arranged things, the Demon Clan masters were all extremely willing... After all, this learning opportunity was hard-won back in the Demon Realm!

They eagerly accepted their tasks and promptly departed with the soldiers of the Jing Nation, all of whom had been arranged by Mu Yuyan in advance.

Even if it was just a few troops, Mu Yuyan wouldn’t hesitate to mobilize the entire military force of Jing Nation if Gu Lan requested.

After dismissing the maidservants around her, Mu Yuyan stepped out from behind the screen.

"Husband..."

"You’ve been doing so much for the mortal realm without telling me. As the Empress of Jing Nation, I feel so out of touch... Next time, don’t leave me out!"

Mu Yuyan lightly touched Gu Lan’s chest with her finger and unconsciously leaned against his chest. Listening to his strong and steady heartbeat, she felt her own heart racing faster and faster.

She peeked up at Gu Lan and met his passionate gaze.

"They’ve all left. How about we do something that involves the Empress?" Her cheeks blushed slightly, but she remained obedient.

She closed her eyes lightly, lips slightly parted...

Creak!

Just as their lips were about to touch, the palace door was pushed open by a small hand.

"Daddy! I found you!"

"Huh!"

"Mommy’s here too!"

"Mommy found Daddy even faster than Little Suan Ni, amazing!"

Simu sat on little Suan Ni, smiling at her daddy and mommy, her eyes gleaming mischievously.

Mu Yuyan’s cheeks flushed, and she immediately broke free from Gu Lan’s embrace. She felt a bit embarrassed to be intimate with her husband in front of their daughter.

Gu Lan slowly raised his head, somewhat stiffly.

Looking at his once affectionate little cotton jacket, which was gradually becoming a little demon, he smiled kindly.

"Simu ah! At this time, shouldn’t you be studying with your two teachers? Are you missing Daddy?" Gu Lan asked gently.

"Come, Daddy will teach you your lessons personally. Today, we’ll study ’The Great Learning,’ and tomorrow, we’ll study ’The Doctrine of the Mean,’ making every day fulfilling."

Upon hearing the titles of the books, Simu’s smile instantly vanished, and she pouted, showcasing her acting skills.

"Each golden bean falls from its shell, drop by drop..."

Mu Yuyan couldn’t stand seeing Simu shed tears. Her heart softened instantly.

"When can’t you study? Don’t cry, Simu!"

"Don’t listen to Daddy’s nonsense. He’s just joking. Today, Simu won’t study!"

"Today, Daddy and Mommy will play with Simu, okay?"

While comforting Simu, Mu Yuyan glanced at Gu Lan with a hint of blame, signaling him to come over and soothe their daughter.

"Don’t cry, Simu. Daddy is just teasing you. Look what this is!"

Seeing Simu crying, Gu Lan also softened. Without further ado, he took out an Emperor-ranked Spirit Fruit from the system space and placed it in front of Simu.

Upon seeing the extraordinary Emperor-ranked Spirit Fruit, Simu immediately stopped crying. She carefully touched the Spirit Fruit with her golden tears, then swiftly brought it to her mouth.

Chomp! Chomp!

Then, she began nibbling on it.

Mu Yuyan: "..."

Gu Lan: "..."
