Hanno chuckled, "It's about saving money, but I won't be able to help with the video work anymore. You'll have to manage on your own."
"That's fine," Jia Qianjun laughed heartily, having devoured a three-thousand-year-old Peach of Immortality. Now at the level of Earth Immortal, it would take him some time to digest the peach. Hanno and Elder Brother Li decided not to disturb his cultivation and bid farewell before teleporting back home.
Looking at the dimmed Eastern Emperor Bell in their home, Hanno and Elder Brother Li sighed deeply, realizing they had worked hard only to make someone else rich. However, they felt content; they possessed a treasure that allowed them to travel between two worlds.
Elder Brother Li placed his hand on the bell's top and watched as the portal of time and space rose from it. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's great," Elder Brother Li said to Hanno. "Nono, I haven't returned in a while. I should check if there are any abnormalities over there."
"Sure, go ahead," Hanno understood Elder Brother Li's concerns. She had also worried about whether they could still connect the two worlds and about Li Zhoule and Li Yishu in the other world.
After Elder Brother Li returned to the Great Zhou, Hanno opened the door and walked into the living room. Han Dad and Mom Han both sighed in relief upon seeing her. "You're back? Next time you and Wei Feng go to Great Zhou, let us know so your dad and I won't worry thinking something happened to you."
Hanno smiled as she walked over and wrapped her arm around Mom Han's shoulder. "What could happen to us? Don't worry about us; we're both immortals now!"
Hanno didn't mention Jia Qianjun's situation, assuming he wouldn't want his identity exposed either. It was better for Han Dad and Mom Han to think they had simply gone to Great Zhou.
"Immortals? Aren't you just Cultivators? You really think you're immortals now?" Mom Han replied skeptically.
Hanno chuckled lightly, "Look at your daughter! Hmph, I'm a legitimate immortal now, registered with the court."
Mom Han laughed twice, "Is there even a court in this world?"
Hanno replied, "Not in this world, but there is in others."
"Really?" Mom Han paused her actions, and even Han Dad stopped watching the news to turn and look at Hanno.
Hanno nodded with a smile. "Yes, Wei Feng and I traveled to another world where we could cultivate. We spent a thousand years there, survived tribulations, and ascended to become immortals."
"A thousand years?" Mom Han was taken aback. "It's amazing you still remember who you are and that you remember your dad and me."
Hanno touched her nose playfully. "How could I forget my dear parents? I even brought you gifts."
Hanno took out a Peach of Immortality from the space and handed it to Mom Han.
Mom Han looked at it with disdain. "Just one peach?"
"You shouldn't underestimate this peach," Hanno replied. "This is the Peach of Immortality from the Queen Mother's Peach Garden. It takes three thousand years to ripen, and anyone who eats it will instantly become an immortal."
Mom Han was taken aback. "Is that true?"
"Not really." Hanno pulled out a white jade box engraved with a preservation array to store the Peach of Immortality. "This peach contains too much celestial energy. If a person eats it, they won't become an immortal; instead, they'll end up in the Underworld having tea with Yama King."
Han Dad chimed in, "So we can only eat a little bit?"
Hanno nodded and directly handed the box and the peach to Han Dad for safekeeping. "However, both of your powers are too low. Eating just one bud each month should be enough to ensure your cultivation."
Han Dad carefully accepted the box and stored it in his storage bag. The storage bag was something Hanno had obtained from another world, and after Han Dad and Mom Han cultivated their powers, he gave each of them one for important items. It wasn't very large, only three cubic units, just enough for some essential belongings.
Mom Han licked her lips excitedly. "The Peach of Immortality must taste great, right?"
Hanno nodded. "It's quite good; otherwise, Sun Wukong wouldn't frequently sneak into the Peach of Immortality Garden to steal peaches."
"What? The world you just visited is from Journey to the West?"
"Not exactly; it's just that there are indeed courts, Yang Jian, Dragon Princess, Sun Wukong, and other immortals in that world. By the way, in that world, Zhan Zhao has also become an immortal, and he is the son of Yang Jian and Dragon Princess!"
Mom Han's interest was piqued. "Quickly tell me more about that world!"
"Well, this time I crossed over as a princess of a fallen Song Dynasty..."
...
After more than an hour, Elder Brother Li returned. There were no issues on the Great Zhou Dynasty side; the time-space portal was stable as well, which relieved both Elder Brother Li and Hanno. Jia Qianjun had started casting for a new movie; becoming an immortal seemed to have no effect on him as he continued enthusiastically pursuing his passion for filmmaking.
Chang Miao dropped her son off at home and went to find Hanno. During her pregnancy, she had entrusted her Taobao store to Second Aunt Han. Now that she had given birth and her body had recovered, she was ready to manage the store again, and this time she was there to pick up goods from Hanno.
"The goods are ready. You can move them yourself later," Hanno said, having cleared out a room in the house to store the items brought back from Da Zhou.
"Oh," Chang Miao replied, flopping onto Hanno's bed and rubbing her stomach with one hand.
"What's wrong? Is your stomach uncomfortable?" Hanno asked.
Chang Miao said, "I've been a bit constipated lately; my stomach feels bloated and uncomfortable."
Hanno reached out, "Let me check your pulse."
Chang Miao extended her right hand and watched as Hanno expertly felt her pulse with a few fingers. She laughed, "Wow, you're getting better at this! You've even learned traditional Chinese medicine now. Nono, tell me, is there anything you can't do?"
Hanno smiled, "I'm so talented that I really can't think of anything I can't do."
Chang Miao pretended to gag, "Nono, I've just realized how thick-skinned you are; the Earth can't accommodate you anymore. You should go back to Mars."
Hanno's smile faded as she replied flatly, "You're pregnant."
"What? No way!" Chang Miao screamed. "I just had a baby; how could I be pregnant again? My husband and I took precautions. Nono, you must have misdiagnosed me!"
Hanno exclaimed, "Ah! This isn't based on my diagnosis; it's a conclusion drawn from your behavior."
"What behavior?" Chang Miao asked, momentarily confused.
Hanno chuckled, "Nausea—it's a symptom of pregnancy."
"Hanno—" Chang Miao realized she had been tricked and shouted as she lunged at Hanno, reaching out to tickle her.
Hanno laughed and dodged away, and the two began to playfully wrestle on the bed. Their laughter soon attracted Mom Han, who came in to remind them to be mindful of their actions since Hanno was still pregnant.
"Don't worry, Aunt," Chang Miao repeatedly assured Mom Han. "We won't cause any more trouble."
Edge shot a glance at Hanno, silently conveying his thoughts: You’re in better shape than I am, and your skills are superior; how can you possibly look like someone who is pregnant?
Hanno placed a hand on her waist, feigning weakness. "Oh dear, the baby in my belly is kicking! It hurts so much!"
Chang Miao raised an eyebrow. "What a performance! Keep it up!"
Once Mom Han left, the two collapsed onto the bed together.
"Nono, what’s wrong with me? Am I getting overheated?" Chang Miao asked.
Hanno replied, "It's a case of yin-yang imbalance, with cold rising and heat sinking—specific symptoms."
Chang Miao frowned. "I don't understand; please speak plainly."
"You've been afflicted by the poison of heat and cold," Hanno explained.
Chang Miao gasped. "Have you been binge-watching Nirvana in Fire with Aunt lately? Should I be happy? I’ve caught the same illness as Mei Changsu?"
Hanno chuckled. "No, it's different. Mei Changsu became that frail due to heat poison combined with toxic insects, while you have issues from not taking care of yourself during pregnancy and eating too many heating foods. You have some problems, but fundamentally, you're still a tough girl—not a delicate flower."
Chang Miao gritted her teeth. "Thanks for the compliment."
Hanno smiled. "No need to thank me; we’re sisters."
Chang Miao rolled her eyes dramatically. "What should I do now? Can you prescribe something for me? Maybe some herbal medicine?"
"No need for herbal medicine; just adjust your diet," Hanno advised. "Eat more peanuts and dates to nourish your qi and blood, along with plenty of fruits and vegetables. Avoid fried foods and barbecues. I'll teach you some acupressure techniques so you can massage the points yourself to expel the internal heat and toxins."
"Acupressure? Great! Hurry up and teach me," Chang Miao said eagerly.
"Bring out your right hand."
Chang Miao quickly extended his right hand, and Hanno opened his palm, positioning the thumb and index finger at a forty-five-degree angle. He tapped on the intersection of the bone's extension line and said, "This is the He Gu Point. Pressing the He Gu Point can alleviate or eliminate ailments related to the Large Intestine Meridian, helping to expel accumulated toxins from the body. You should press twenty times with both hands."
Hanno bent Chang Miao's elbow inward and pressed on the hollow area on the inner side of his elbow, asking, "How does that feel?"
Chang Miao replied, "It hurts a little."
Hanno said, "This is the Qu Chi Acupoint. The Qu Chi Acupoint is closely related to the body's metabolism. Regularly pressing this point can help you detoxify and relieve stress during your busy daily routine."
After releasing Chang Miao's hand, Hanno continued, "Before going to bed each night, press on the abdominal pivot point. This point is closely linked to the gastrointestinal tract and has a significant bidirectional therapeutic effect on regulating bowel movements; it can stop diarrhea as well as relieve constipation. Use your fingertips to massage the pivot point fifty to one hundred times in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions."
Chang Miao asked, "Where is the pivot point located?"
Hanno answered, "It's located three finger widths to the left and right of your navel. Additionally, you need to exercise more to improve your physical strength."
Chang Miao frowned, "Exercise? Can't I just skip that? Don't you know I'm like a turtle?"
Hanno sighed: "If you don't exercise and don't improve your physical strength, even if you massage repeatedly, it will be difficult to expel the heat and toxins smoothly."
Chang Miao exclaimed as he leaned back dramatically, "Then I might as well take medicine!"
