The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife-Chapter 553: Reunion After the Calamity

"You’re awake?"

A familiar cold voice came to her ears. Jiang Nuo slowly opened her eyes, her vision becoming clear. Seeing it was her, she immediately smiled and raised the corners of her lips: "Mm, I’m awake! Honey, look, we escaped. I told you, we’d be alright."

"Mm!" Mu Qiuniang nodded.

"Honey, I feel like my cultivation seems to have increased again." Jiang Nuo checked her body and grinned mischievously.

Mu Qiuniang laughed, "My cultivation has also increased."

"Really?! Honey, what’s your cultivation level now?" Jiang Nuo quickly asked.

"Mahayana."

"Wow!? Honey, you’re about to ascend..." Jiang Nuo was pleasantly surprised.

Mu Qiuniang smiled and nodded, "All thanks to you."

"Hehehe... It’s not thanks to me; you’ve always been amazing, honey. Who knows, maybe we can ascend together now. I’m also in the Mahayana realm."

"Sure, then we can ascend together."

"Honey," Jiang Nuo held her hand, "do you think when we reach the Immortal World, will your Master and senior brothers give me a hard time?"

"You’ve already asked."

"Hehehe... I just wanted to confirm again."

"Generally, they won’t give you a hard time, but they’ll make you practice a bit."

"Alright, I’ll prepare myself mentally. But honey, do you want to come to bed with me?" With skillful strength, Jiang Nuo pulled Mu Qiuniang onto the bed.

Mu Qiuniang lay down compliantly, directly into his arms.

"Honey, thank you!" Even knowing that entering the Demon Evil Array might mean no return, she still ran in without hesitation to share life and death with him.

At that moment, he actually had some regrets. He wasn’t afraid of dying himself, but he was afraid for her...

"I’m your wife, no need to thank me." Mu Qiuniang reminded him, he’d been awake for a while, should he check on his mother?

"Let’s wait a bit, right now I just want to be with my wife."

Although it felt a bit unfilial, hearing these words from him made her very happy.

Actually, Jiang Nuo was a bit envious of Murong. Although Murong’s mother, Wang Yuan, didn’t seem very reliable, perhaps not as smart as Zhan Zhengtong, she had one principle—the son or daughter is always right. No matter how much controversy there was, she would only stand by her son’s or daughter’s side.

She didn’t need to do anything, just be the greatest support for her son or daughter.

Especially now, she had her own beauty business, her confidence greatly boosted, yet her principle remained the same.

Jiang Nuo increasingly felt like he didn’t know how to face Zhan Zhengtong, truly unsure of what to say to her, afraid that once they started talking, they wouldn’t be on the same page, only ending up hurting each other.

That day, after the Demon Evil Array was broken, Mr. Black Dragon, to avoid risks, took Zhan Zhengtong into the "world" he created as soon as he exited the Demon Evil Array.

There, she was the only human.

Mr. Black Dragon didn’t bother with her much, went off to play with the little Spiritual Essence, only leaving some food to prevent her from starving, then never showed up again.

Time is quite frightening. Perhaps Jiang Nuo only spent one night outside, but inside, Zhan Zhengtong spent a year.

In that year, except for a few birds, almost no one spoke to her. At first, she almost went crazy.

Later, it was Mr. Black Dragon who said, "You’re lucky to be alive, your son doesn’t even know your situation now." It would never tell her that her son was happily enjoying life outside long ago.

She survived a year, endured everything. Many naive and innocent ideas from before gradually disappeared. She finally understood, Cultivation wasn’t as simple as she thought. And her son’s growth over twenty years, without her company, involved suffering far more complex than she imagined.

And it was precisely because of these hardships that her son had extraordinary trust in Mu Qiuniang, making the tacit understanding between her son and daughter-in-law impossible for others to interrupt.

She originally thought her son was being controlled, but perhaps it was the "companionship" and "trust" her son needed.

These, she had never provided.

She also thought a lot about how she used to treat Yan Hao well, everything she did when she thought of him as her own son.

She had never wronged Yan Hao, wronged Yan Shanchuan, wronged Lady Dongfang. The only one she wronged was her son—Jiang Nuo.

More than twenty years ago, she’d missed out on his life, and now she had no way to be a part of his life. The only thing she could do was stand a bit further away, silently "blessing" him.

"Have you thought it through?" Mr. Black Dragon suddenly asked when delivering breakfast again, a bit surprised after hearing her say that.

Zhan Zhengtong answered, "I’ve thought it through. He’s done well without me all these years. He won’t need me in the future either. Why should I seek unhappiness?"

"Better if you thought like this earlier. Everyone has their own life now. Jiang Nuo has been independent for so many years; you don’t understand his world. Forcing your way in will only make him unhappy, further weakening the already shallow mother-son relationship. Rather than that, let him strive on his own and see him live happily. Isn’t that good?"

"Yes, seeing him happy is also good. Why do I need to complicate things and make everyone unhappy?"

...

Jiang Nuo didn’t meet Zhan Zhengtong. Before bringing her out of the "world," he had Mu Mingyu notify the Zhan Family to come retrieve her. So, when Zhan Zhengtong emerged, Zhan Jingwen was already there, ready to take her back to the Zhan Family.

"He doesn’t want to see me?" Zhan Zhengtong felt a bit disappointed.

"Aunt, I think it’s not the best time for you to meet. You need to give him some time."

"Time, huh..." Zhan Zhengtong recalled the year she spent in another world.

Indeed, time can change many things.

Her attitude toward Jiang Nuo, her hatred for Yan Shanchuan.

She nodded lightly, "Take me to the prison. I want to see Yan Shanchuan."

Zhan Jingwen was a bit surprised, "Aunt, meeting him..."

"Some things need to end, to allow me to start anew."

Zhan Jingwen looked at his aunt’s "enlightened" demeanor, feeling a bit lost. However, he couldn’t refuse such a reasonable request, so he made slight arrangements to let her meet Yan Shanchuan.

But to prevent accidents, he insisted on accompanying her throughout the process.

Zhan Zhengtong didn’t refuse.

Yan Shanchuan seemed surprised that she would still want to see him, his first words being, "I thought you’d never see me again in this lifetime."

"I used to think that way, but after some time, some things became clear. I realized ending some things allows me to start a new life," Zhan Zhengtong replied calmly.

Yan Shanchuan was a bit stunned, "You’re starting a new life?"
