My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty-Chapter 431: Another One, Please
The layers of the sea of clouds rippled with a ring of colorful halos, resembling a fairyland. This vibrant scene marked the entrance to the 33rd Sky of Immortal Realm, the Rainbow Cloud Heaven.
On their Void Divine Ship, Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan embraced each other and enjoyed the scenic beauty as they swiftly passed through the sea of clouds and entered the 33rd Sky of Immortal Realm.
"Junior greets the two seniors!" a young cultivator said upon their arrival. "I'm not sure if this is your first time in the 33rd Sky of Immortal Realm. If so, I can serve as your guide."
"If I don't do a good job, feel free to dismiss me. If I do well, a small reward of spirit stones would be appreciated."
As Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan landed and prepared to disembark from their Void Divine Ship, a cultivator at the Imperial Stage approached swiftly. His skills were respectable, and although young, he was a talented individual in the Earthly Realm. However, in the Immortal Realm, he was just another ordinary free cultivator, not sought after by major powers.
"Take us to a major sect's guesthouse, preferably one with large cultivation chambers," Gu Lan instructed. Noting the guide's ability to converse and his perceptiveness, Gu Lan agreed to let him serve as their guide.
The 33rd Sky of Immortal Realm was vast, and having a local guide would make things much more convenient. Additionally, when it came time to meet with Li Xiong and others, local assistance would be beneficial.
"Certainly!" the guide responded eagerly. "I'll make sure you find a suitable sect guesthouse!"
Seeing the generous manner of Gu Lan, the guide's expression brightened. Recently, he had met many cultivators coming for the Great Competition of All Clans, but few were as generous as Gu Lan. Those who could afford a sect guesthouse were usually high-ranking figures or exceptionally powerful Lower Realm Rulers.
Without being able to discern Gu Lan's true cultivation level, the guide assumed him to be one of these prominent figures.
The 33rd Sky of Immortal Realm was not only large but also home to the highest-grade cultivation grounds. The sect guesthouses here were priced exorbitantly due to the upcoming Great Competition of All Clans. Renting a large cultivation chamber was charged daily at top-grade spirit stone rates.
Such an expense was too expensive for many Lower Realm factions, so they would set up their camps in areas with slightly thinner spiritual energy. Consequently, many sect disciples would start at a disadvantage in the competition due to inadequate preparation.
When the guide led Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan to the most luxurious sect guesthouse in the 33rd Sky of Immortal Realm, many onlookers thought the two might be overcharged or made to look foolish. The daily rent for such a guesthouse started at ten top-grade spirit stones, with higher prices for better options.
Qin Huangmo, arriving a bit later, happened to see Gu Lan casually pay for a massive sect cultivation chamber.
"This one will do!" Gu Lan said, pulling out a storage bag and retrieving one thousand top-grade spirit stones.
The guide's eyes widened in delight. Such a substantial transaction meant that even if Gu Lan did not provide a tip, the sect running the cultivation chambers would still give him some symbolic benefits. As long as the deal was done, his work was not in vain.
Watching from a distance, Qin Huangmo instinctively touched his pocket. He could also produce one thousand top-grade spirit stones, but he had not planned to use such an amount for renting a guesthouse for his disciples. Seeing Gu Lan so effortlessly make the payment, he realized that Gu Lan's resources might not only exceed his own but possibly even surpass them.
An Earthly Realm Realm Ruler with such substantial resources was certainly someone with abundant opportunities. After a brief hesitation, Qin Huangmo also rented a cultivation chamber at the guesthouse, feeling a strange intuition that being neighbors with Gu Lan might increase Jianmu Earthly Realm's chances of making the top one thousand in the Great Competition of All Clans.
Providing his disciples with a good preparation environment was beneficial as well.
"Brother Gu, we should stay in touch and perhaps arrange a pre-competition practice session before the Great Competition of All Clans!" Qin Huangmo suggested.
Gu Lan agreed, appreciating the suggestion. He was eager to see if there were areas where the Lanyan Royal School disciples could improve.
After a few more exchanges, Gu Lan bid farewell and entered the rented sect guesthouse. He and Mu Yuyan took the key to their cultivation chamber, which was tailored for two.
The chamber was rich in ice and snow energy, ideal for Mu Yuyan's cultivation. Gu Lan planned to focus on his studies during the day and cultivate diligently at night.
Inside the chamber, they discovered a natural hot spring bath with abundant spiritual energy. Upon seeing it, Mu Yuyan expressed her desire to bathe.
"Darling, I want to bathe…" she said softly.
Understanding her expression immediately, Gu Lan waved his hand, causing a shower of flower petals to fall over the hot spring bath.
"If my honey wants to bathe, of course, I should join!" Gu Lan said, gently placing his hand on Mu Yuyan's waist.
Even though such moments were common, Mu Yuyan's cheeks flushed slightly when it came to reality.
"Your Majesty, don't move. I'll help you out of your clothes," Gu Lan said skillfully as he undressed Mu Yuyan and himself using a secret method.
The two, clad in only their undergarments and holding hands, stepped into the bath. They pressed close together, sipping fine wine and discussing what preparations were needed before the Great Competition of All Clans. They also talked about visiting the former Snow Clan territory after the competition to uncover the truth behind its destruction.
After their conversation, Mu Yuyan, blushing, whispered, "Husband, should we have another child for Mumu? A little brother or sister?"
Gu Lan, understanding her intent, kissed her in response.
After a while, they emerged from the bath and cuddled on a soft couch nearby, reminiscing about their daughter's childhood and wondering if a new child might be as mischievous as Simu.
Both had drunk spirit wine, and as they chatted and kissed, Mu Yuyan's recently donned gauze slipped from her shoulders.

At that moment, a gentle breeze swept through.
"Yuyan, I found the Snow Clan…" a familiar voice came from outside the chamber, and soon Feng Ruoxue's figure appeared nearby.
