My gorgeous wife Chapter 2279 - 2247: A Lifetime Without Worries

Little Tu is no longer Little Tu.

This was the information Cui He received when she looked into Little Tu’s eyes.

Because those eyes weren’t the ones Little Tu possessed.

Nor were they the eyes of the Little Tu who would squat at the village entrance all day, foolishly gazing at the tree of unknown origin, and would always give her a silly smile whenever she returned home.

"Nine transformations over nine years, planting nine causes, obtaining nine effects. To use reincarnation as guidance and calculate cause and effect, such a thing could only be done by you." Suddenly, a wave emanated from the tree that had silently rooted itself for nine years.

’Little Tu’s’ lips curled slightly as he bowed gently towards the ’tree’ with a hint of apology: "Thank you for your hard work over these years."

"It’s to be expected; after all, you’re my master now," the tree’s trunk trembled slightly, clearly indicating the significant consumption it had endured as the nine fruits fell.

After ’Little Tu’ consumed the nine fruits, the tree trunk showed numerous cracks, and even the leaves on the crown turned yellowish.

"Go back and nourish yourself properly; the energy of a cosmos should be more than sufficient to replenish you," Little Tu gestured dismissively, causing the entire tree to vanish, as if the space itself had twisted.

Only then did ’Little Tu’ turn his gaze towards Cui He, who was not far away.

Slowly, he walked to stand before Cui He.

Cui He’s eyes flickered with a strange yet somewhat fearful expression: "Are you... Little Tu?"

He paused, recalling the name he had used for nine years.

Li Xiao Tu.

Could Tu not be translated as the word Chen?

What a coincidence.

Is this... also cause and effect?

"I suppose so," Little Tu nodded slightly and spoke softly.

Cui He had never heard Little Tu speak before, but upon hearing him for the first time, she found his voice exceptionally gentle, extremely comforting to listen to, making her eyes sparkle ever brighter.

"Then... are you the god of legends, capable of soaring and disappearing at will? It was you who saved me that day!" Cui He said excitedly.

Little Tu fell silent for a moment: "I can soar and vanish but am not omnipotent. Indeed, the divine beings you speak of probably can’t either."

"Huh?" Cui He exclaimed and then fell silent.

For some reason, before the silly Little Tu who always smiled at her, she always had many things to say, from trivial matters to complaints, never hiding anything despite knowing Little Tu wouldn’t answer—she could talk on and on by herself.

But now, with Little Tu speaking, she found herself at a loss for words.

"Thank you for these years," seemingly recalling something, Little Tu spoke again: "Do you have any wishes? Although I am not omnipotent, I believe I can fulfill a relatively simple wish within certain limits as a repayment for your care over the years."

"No, no, no!" Upon hearing this, Cui He quickly shook her head: "Clearly, you’re the one who saved me. If it weren’t for you falling from Heaven and killing that Tiger, I would have already been a piece of meat inside that beast. I’m merely repaying you."

"Your repayment is already sufficient," Little Tu chuckled lightly: "Now, it’s my turn to repay you."

With that, Little Tu gestured softly.

In Distant Mountain Village, the wounds of many slain villagers quickly healed.

Even the ’Yang Blood’ that had been drained flowed swiftly back into their bodies, and the villagers, who had died, suddenly opened their eyes and revived.

Meanwhile, those demon lords were forcibly lifted from Distant Mountain Village by an invisible hand.

For ’Little Tu’, such miraculous acts seemed as easy as eating or drinking.

"What is your wish?" ’Little Tu’ asked Cui He.

Cui He’s eyes showed hesitation, unsure why but feeling that the current Little Tu was no longer Little Tu, and once she expressed her wish, he would leave.

And she truly couldn’t bear for Little Tu to leave.

Yet, she indeed harbored a wish she greatly desired to fulfill.

"I wish for my parents to return to me," Cui He eventually voiced her wish.

’Little Tu’ gently nodded: "Alright."

In the next moment, a phantom descended upon the mountain where the villagers often gathered herbs.

As the phantom arrived, all creatures on the mountain knelt, submitting to this supreme presence.

All creatures quivered, not daring to move.

The phantom’s gaze locked onto an exotic beast on the mountain.

Discovering it was being watched by a supreme, terrifying entity, the powerful exotic beast dominating the mountain couldn’t help but shiver, as if it faced its nemesis.

"There’s cause, hence there’s effect."

The phantom gently waved towards the exotic beast as if wiping blood and dust off weapons.

And the exotic beast vanished entirely.

Not vanished, but erased...

Erased entirely, not only its body and soul body, but its very existence was erased from the roots.

After this, other creatures in the forest would not recall such an existence having been there.

"’Cause’ has been erased, now comes ’effect’. "

The phantom waved its hand again, and suddenly a pair of man and woman appeared in the forest.

"This... is ’effect’. "

The phantom blurred and suddenly dissipated.

Meanwhile, in Distant Mountain Village, ’Little Tu’s’ true body coughed, with traces of blood seeping from its lips.

What he accomplished wasn’t as effortless as he said.

It involved complicated Life Law, Reincarnation Law, Time Law, and... Law of Cause and Effect.

Fortunately, Cui He’s parents’ souls hadn’t scattered but lingered on the mountain; without his intervention, the two remnant souls might have wandered for decades or hundreds of years before naturally dissipating.

That was why he managed to revive them.

"Cui He, farewell." Little Tu smiled at Cui He, the smile still being that silly one, yet also Cui He’s last memory of Little Tu smiling at her.

With the breeze blowing, Little Tu vanished with the wind.

Amidst the Starry Sky, Little Tu stood in a white robe hovering; he was no longer Little Tu, his name was... Li Chen.

Hongchen Ancestor, Li Chen.

Ye Qiu Sect’s Ye Xiangdong looked with astonishment at the group of demon lords that suddenly appeared, unable to move, at the mountain gate.

A voice abruptly came to his ear: "Help me take care of a place called Distant Mountain Village and its villagers, keeping them... safe for a lifetime."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiangdong was stunned, lightly bowing to the firmament: "Following the elder’s decree."

Li Chen’s figure flickered, disappearing amidst the Starry Sky.

"Old man, I’m coming to find you."
