Since the closure of the Heavenly Tomb, Ye Feng spent some time constructing a modest heavenly palace of his own within the Doupo Plane.
This new Heavenly Palace towered with ninety-nine floors—sixty-six more than the one in the Douluo Plane. Although most of the palace remained undeveloped, it floated steadily in the sky like a divine stronghold. As a Dou Emperor, it had only taken Ye Feng thirty days to build the entire structure.
Shrouded in mist and clouds, the palace exuded a dreamlike, fairyland charm.
After absorbing the soul essence of the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Yixian had become its new master. Within a quiet corner of the palace, she constructed a passage that connected directly to the tomb.
"Ye Feng, come here! I want to show you something I've been working on," she called excitedly.
The Little Medical Fairy dragged Ye Feng to a secluded, foggy expanse. The ground had been cleared, revealing several saplings quietly growing in the soft mist.
"A tree?" Ye Feng raised a brow.
"It's not just any tree." Xiao Yixian beamed with pride. "I fused the Dragon and Phoenix crystals that Zi Yan and Feng Qing'er didn't absorb, along with several other rare materials, to cultivate this peach tree."
"Peach tree… Peach Garden?" Ye Feng muttered, the words tumbling out instinctively.
"Yes, Peach Garden," she replied, mulling over his words. "Actually, I've been meaning to ask you for a name. What do you think about... Pan Tao Garden? I like how that sounds."
"Pan Tao Garden?" Ye Feng was stunned.
His gaze drifted toward the distant Yunxiao Palace. The entire Heavenly Palace had been inspired by hazy memories of his past life. Queen Medusa managed it, with Yun Yun presiding over the Western Wing. Though not as refined as the Central Plains' palaces, the energy density here was superior—perfect for cultivation.
And now… even the Peach Garden from his previous world had appeared.
Something stirred deep within Ye Feng.
"How about Fairy Peach Garden? Or maybe Golden Peach Grove?" he offered.
"Nope! Pan Tao Garden it is," Xiao Yixian declared cheerfully. With a wave of her hand, three bold characters carved themselves into the blank plaque hanging at the garden's entrance: 盘桃园 (Pan Tao Garden).
Just then, a soft, melodious voice rang out from behind.
"Ye Feng, you're here. Xiao Yixian, you too."
A woman in a flowing multicolored robe approached. Her figure was tall and alluring, and every movement radiated enchantment. Her phoenix eyes sparkled mischievously, and even her voice carried a captivating charm.
"Sister Cai Lin," Xiao Yixian greeted her.
"What are you two up to?" she asked, eyeing them curiously.
"I asked Ye Feng to name my Peach Garden."
"Peach Garden?" Queen Medusa raised a brow.
"Yeah! It's officially called Pan Tao Garden now. Do you need something from Ye Feng?"
"I'm just exhausted." Queen Medusa sighed, shooting Ye Feng a tired glance. "Honestly, I think this guy built the palace just to give me more work. I need a break."
"Fair enough," Ye Feng chuckled. "Actually, the Space Trade Fair should be starting soon. Let's head out together."
"Great idea." Cai Lin moved beside him with a small smile.
"Xiao Yixian, want to join us?"
"I'll pass. You two can take the Colorful Scale Barrier with you. I still have to look after my new disciple."
"Disciple?" Ye Feng blinked. "You took on an apprentice?"
"She's unbelievably slow-witted," Xiao Yixian groaned.
A sudden boom echoed in the distance.
"Speak of the devil. She messed up again." Xiao Yixian shook her head. "You two go ahead—I'll deal with my dumb apprentice."
A spatial ripple shimmered around her, and she vanished from sight.
Ye Feng stared after her, stunned. "She really accepted a disciple?"
"She did," Cai Lin replied. "Calls herself the Queen Mother of the West. Strange name, right? Surname Xi—pretty rare."
Ye Feng didn't respond. He was frozen, his mind reeling.
The Pan Tao Garden. The Queen Mother of the West.
Coincidences? Or something deeper?
Cai Lin noticed his strange expression. "Ye Feng, are you okay?"
"Yeah… just thinking."
He glanced at the Peach Garden, then toward the path Xiao Yixian had taken. This couldn't be random. It all felt too familiar.
"She's lonely, you know," Cai Lin murmured. "She clearly likes you, but you've never given her a clear answer. Is it so surprising she took on a disciple for companionship? It's not just her. Ya Fei, Zi Yan—they've all taken in disciples recently. Everyone's doing it."
"Who did Ya Fei and Zi Yan take in?" Ye Feng asked, trying to stay calm.
"Ya Fei's disciple is named Zhu Rong. Incredible fire affinity. Zi Yan picked someone from the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. His name's... Ao-something. I can't recall exactly."
Ye Feng's eyes widened. "Cai Lin… did you just say Zhu Rong and Ao?"
Without warning, he grabbed her shoulders.
"What's gotten into you?" she frowned. "You're a Dou Emperor, not some panicked teen."
Ye Feng was pale. His expression resembled someone who had seen a ghost.
And in truth, he had.
He finally released her and exhaled deeply. "Sorry. I just… It's strange. Too many things are aligning with the myths from my past life."
He remembered them clearly—ancient Chinese legends. A grand Heavenly Palace. The divine Peach Garden. Zhu Rong, the god of fire. Dragons guarding the seas, all surnamed Ao.
Were the stories from his world becoming real in this one?
He turned to Cai Lin. "Come on. Didn't we say we'd take a walk?"
He reached out, her cool, jade-like hand slipping into his. The sensation grounded him.
As they walked, Cai Lin suddenly spoke up.
"Ye Feng, there's something I want to discuss."
Her next words stopped him cold.
"In our Snake-Person tradition, mothers name their children. So when we have ours in the future… if it's a boy, I want to name him Di Jun. If it's a girl, let's name her Nüwa. What do you think?"
Ye Feng stood there, petrified.
Di Jun—Emperor of the Three Realms. Nüwa—the goddess who created humanity, often depicted with a serpent's tail.
