Chapter 208: The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West

“Zhao Munv, you can do it. Where there is a will, there is a way. Professor Lou will definitely say yes to you.”

“Professor Lou, come out! Professor Lou, say yes to her! Professor Lou, you can do it!”

“Be together, be together, be together, be together…”

…

Many students who liked to stir up trouble shouted for Lou Guangzhi and Zhao Munv to be together. Zhao Munv was the future Queen Mother of the West and now a senior student from the School of Foreign Languages, placing candles to confess her love to Lou Guangzhi.

Lou Guangzhi, the future Jade Emperor, was currently the youngest professor at Tianhai University. He was knowledgeable and humorous in his lectures, making him the most popular professor in the School of Foreign Languages and the crush of many female students.

Girls often wrote Lou Guangzhi love letters, but they were all turned down. Even the most beautiful girls in the department were rejected. Lou Guangzhi never agreed to any of them.

Others did not know why the single Lou Guangzhi always rejected these confessions, but Jiang Xincheng knew the reason: Lou Guangzhi had secretly married years ago to an ordinary girl from a common family, and she had already given him a child.

Lou Guangzhi was the heir of the Lou Family, a somewhat well-known family in Tianhai City. Because of a fight years ago, Lou Guangzhi’s twin brother was killed, leaving Lou Guangzhi as the only heir. The Lou Family invested heavily in him.

However, due to that fight and his brother’s death, Lou Guangzhi had no interest in cultivation or becoming the head of the Lou Family. Even though he was a prodigy with top-tier cultivation talent and the support of the Lou Family’s resources, he had only reached the Bone Tempering Late Stage and not even the Cloud Condensation Realm.

The higher-ups of the Lou Family were very disappointed in him but had to keep pushing him to cultivate diligently and not focus on teaching. Lou Guangzhi strongly opposed this because of the incident years ago.

Not only that, but years ago, Lou Guangzhi had also defied his family and secretly got together with a girl from a common family, having a child with her. He rejected the noble ladies his family had chosen for him.

To protect his hidden woman and child, Lou Guangzhi never dared to reveal this, fearing his family’s harsh actions would ruin his happiness. So, he claimed to prefer being single and remained unmarried until nearly thirty, disappointing the Lou Family even more.

But Lou Guangzhi never expected that his humorous teaching style, kind demeanor, and vast knowledge would attract many young girls at the university. Zhao Munv, the Queen Mother of the West, was one of them, and the most extreme.

Lou Guangzhi thought Zhao Munv would quietly leave like the other girls he had rejected, but he did not expect her to make such a crazy public confession.

After her confession failed, Zhao Munv used her family’s power and sent two Great Yuan Warriors from the Cloud Condensation Realm to capture Lou Guangzhi. They destroyed his Primordial Force and imprisoned him in the basement of a private villa’s backyard.

She kept him imprisoned for five years, stubbornly shouting that she wanted Lou Guangzhi to stay with her forever.

Unexpectedly, five years later, Lou Guangzhi used his clever mind and strong will to dig a secret tunnel out of the basement. He escaped when Zhao Munv was away on a business trip and disappeared into the vast crowd.

After returning to Tianhai City after being missing for five years, Lou Guangzhi found that his girlfriend and child had vanished without a trace. He could not find them anywhere.

Even after he became the Jade Emperor and controlled the Immortal Realm, one of the strongest forces in the Shenxia Alliance, he still could not find his ex-girlfriend and child, even with the entire Immortal Realm’s power.

They seemed to have evaporated from the world, becoming Lou Guangzhi’s lifelong pain. Heartbroken over losing his girlfriend and child, he finally decided to work hard, gain power, and find them.

Later, by chance, he obtained a large piece of Golden Body Stone, repaired his damaged Dantian, and started cultivating again.

Reborn and renewed, Lou Guangzhi worked harder and more diligently than anyone else. After his Dantian was destroyed and then restored, his talent unexpectedly became even stronger.

With his top-tier cultivation talent, unyielding will, and a bit of luck, Lou Guangzhi soared in just a few years, reaching the Stream Formation Realm and becoming a Pillar of the Nation.

During this time, he joined the Flourishing Tang Empire and became one of its Ten Princes, the Celestial Strategist King. Later, to gain more power and find his woman and child, he founded the Immortal Realm and became the ruler of the Celestial Court, the Jade Emperor.

But even with such incredible power and wealth, Lou Guangzhi still could not find his woman and child. Then, Zhao Munv appeared again, wanting to marry him.

Unable to find his woman and child, Lou Guangzhi was furious with Zhao Munv. He attacked her fiercely, nearly beating her to death.

But at the last moment, he realized that Zhao Munv truly loved him and was even willing to die for him.

In the end, Lou Guangzhi could not bring himself to kill her and let her go. After that, Zhao Munv joined the Immortal Realm and became the sharpest blade at Lou Guangzhi’s side.

She helped him build the famous Immortal Realm and even betrayed the Zhao Family to assist him, making Lou Guangzhi have mixed feelings of love and hate for her.

From then on, Lou Guangzhi became the Jade Emperor of the Immortal Realm, and Zhao Munv became the Queen Mother of the West. Everyone hoped they would be together.

But if Lou Guangzhi could not find his woman and child, he would never be with Zhao Munv.

Although they were together day and night, they never married or even confirmed their relationship by the time Jiang Xincheng jumped into the sea and was reborn.

This was the story of Lou Guangzhi and Zhao Munv. It was the pain of both their lives, and it all started with this doomed confession.

Zhao Munv did not know that Lou Guangzhi refused her and so many other girls because he already had a woman and even a child.

To keep his woman and child safe, Lou Guangzhi would not tell Zhao Munv this secret. He never expected this misunderstanding would lead to a lifetime of pain for both of them.

Watching the boys and girls happily cheering for Zhao Munv, Jiang Xincheng let out a long sigh and walked into the crowd. In this reborn life, he would do his best to help Lou Guangzhi and Zhao Munv.

Even if they could not be together, he could at least prevent the tragedy from happening again.

If he could take this chance to recruit the great Jade Emperor, Lou Guangzhi, to his side, that would be even better.
