Lin Yi explained his prolonged absences, revealing he spent months in the ancient era while returning to his original timeline to avoid worry. Xiao Zihan, understanding his sacrifices, pledged to stay by his side through all trials. They then called Empress Dowager Ye, reassuring her before Lin Yi left with Xiao Zihan and Lin Ning to establish a new, covert base on the far side of the moon, entrusting the current lunar base to Ouyang Lei.

Ouyang Lei could only shake his head helplessly and then went on to do what he needed to do.

After handling everything here, Lin Yi finally piloted the spaceship with Xiao Zihan and his family towards the dark side of the moon.

Considering the current technology, the dark side of the moon couldn’t be monitored, which made it a very secluded spot.

"How is it? Are you ready?"

The speed of the spaceship was incredibly fast, and it didn’t take long to arrive at the dark side of the moon.

After parking the spaceship in a crater, Lin Yi gently held Xiao Zihan’s hand.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Zihan nodded affirmatively and softly replied "Mm."

Seeing that the other party was ready, Lin Yi took a deep breath, then scooped Xiaoluo Ning into his arms while wrapping an arm around Xiao Zihan’s waist.

Then, taking another deep breath, he spoke to the system in his mind:

"We’re ready. Send us over now."

As Lin Yi’s words fell, the system’s voice sounded in his mind, and they suddenly felt everything in front of them blur.

Immediately, they disappeared from the spot, and it wasn’t just them; the spaceship also vanished from its location.

When they opened their eyes again and saw everything clearly, they had arrived in this ancient society.

This time, Lin Yi hadn’t chosen to return to Zhao Country.

He had directly asked the system to teleport their family of three to the Imperial Palace of Dayou Country.

After all, Dayou Country was his original base.

This meant that compared to Zhao Country and Yan Country, Dayou Country was a stable rear, devoid of any danger.

Returning to this ancient time, Lin Yi felt a mix of familiarity and strangeness.

He had spent a long time in modern society after the last return, so he needed some time to adapt again.

Of course, that was a matter for Lin Yi Xuan.

Meanwhile, Xiao Zihan’s mouth had already opened wide in shock, her eyes bulging in disbelief at everything before her.

She could hardly believe what she saw.

Looking at the old-style palace in front of her, Xiao Zihan was thoroughly amazed.

She couldn’t begin to imagine that just a second ago, they were on the surface of the moon, and now, they were back on Earth.

And more than that, as Xiao Zihan looked around, she couldn’t help but feel as if she was touring the Forbidden City.

But in the Forbidden City, Xiao Zihan saw modern people and palaces refurbished later on.

Now, here, everyone around was dressed in ancient attire.

Palace maids and eunuchs hurried by, making it truly hard for a modern person like her to accept.

She pinched herself deeply, finding it hard to believe that this was real.

Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn’t help but smile and pinched Xiao Zihan’s cheek:

"How about it, can’t believe this is real, right?

But it exists, indeed it does.

Initially, when I first came here, I thought the same as you, believing this world was unreal.

But I can assure you, here, everything exists for real and every person is indeed alive."

Just then, a group of palace maids came up to them, and upon seeing Lin Yi, they trembled and quickly bowed to him, greeting him with shaky voices:

"The handmaid greets His Majesty."

As they spoke, the group of palace maids bowed to Lin Yi in salute, and judging by their stance, it seemed they wouldn’t dare make any move without Lin Yi’s permission.

Seeing this, Xiao Zihan was dumbfounded.

What did she just hear? Did she mishear?

Did these people just call Lin Yi His Majesty?

As someone from modern times, Xiao Zihan naturally understood what those words meant.

Seeing Lin Yi’s calm demeanor, watching him nod at the group of maids and wave them away, startled Xiao Zihan even more.

Who exactly was her man? Her man turned out to be the Emperor here?

For a moment, Xiao Zihan felt her mind couldn’t process it all.

On the contrary, Xiaoluo Ning didn’t have such feelings.

Instead, she seemed very excited, reaching out towards everything novel around her, grabbing at them while babbling.

Seeing this, Lin Yi laughed heartily.

This scene was within Lin Yi’s expectations, and Xiao Zihan’s reaction was not surprising to him.

This kind of shock was inevitably going to happen for Xiao Zihan.

After gently holding Xiaoluo Ning in his arms and giving her a kiss, he spoke to Xiao Zihan next to him:

"Haha, alright, don’t be so shocked. Let’s get inside first for some rest; you’ll gradually get familiar with things here."

At this moment, Xiao Zihan seemed unable to think, and after hearing Lin Yi’s words, she nodded instinctively before following him towards a grand palace.

When they arrived at the entrance of this palace, she saw the large characters "Imperial Study" written above.

All around, every palace maid and eunuch respectfully bowed to Lin Yi, further affirming his identity.

As they entered the hall, the ancient decor intrigued Xiao Zihan immensely.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi put Xiaoluo Ning down, letting the little girl trot toward the palace interior.

After all, the little girl was too young to feel any astonishment; she was merely curious about the new things around her.

"Are you really the Emperor here?"

After Lin Yi took Xiao Zihan’s hand and sat on his throne, she still looked incredulous.

But she gradually came to her senses and asked such a question.

To this, Lin Yi smiled and nodded, then shrugged:

"Absolutely real.

Ha-ha, how about it, is the surprise from your man big enough?"

Even if Xiao Zihan was extraordinarily intelligent, despite being used to many challenges, she remained in a state of shock.

Looking at Lin Yi’s triumphant appearance, watching him grin, Xiao Zihan found it hard to believe whether this was a dream, whether she hadn’t woken up yet.

No matter how hard Xiao Zihan tried to puzzle it out, she couldn’t believe this was real.

Long before, when Lin Yi said he would take her to another world, she had imagined fully.

But now, she realized her previous thoughts had been too simplistic.

Lin Yi knew this girl’s demeanor and tone would improve over time.

"Ha-ha, sometimes I also suspect this is a dream; I also feel it’s unreal.

Originally, I was the sole presence here, but now with your company, with you here, everything feels a lot more real."

However, just as Lin Yi spoke those words, Xiao Zihan suddenly asked a question.

A question that made Lin Yi pause instantly.

"So you being the Emperor also means you have Three Palaces and Six Houses with seventy-two concubines?"

As soon as these words were out, Lin Yi was dumbfounded on the spot.

For quite some time, he failed to respond, just staring blankly into Xiao Zihan’s eyes.

It was hard for him to wrap his head around how this girl thought, why she would ask such a question at that moment.
