After three additional hours of conversation, Long Xiu, Shen Yin, and Lie Ning, who had been chatting a short distance away from Xu Fang, were suddenly drawn to a radiant light that illuminated the upper half of the black door. The light's movement, starting from one side and concluding on the other, took only a few seconds.
"PeakZhaiose Valley," Long Xiu, Shen Yin, and Lie Ning murmured in hushed tones as they read the name that appeared on the door after the light vanished.
'Even after using spiritual senses, it takes more than four hours.' Xu Fang thought in his mind, and opened his eyes, rose to his feet, and turned his gaze toward the three stunning women in front of him—one in a black dress, another in blue, and the third in pink. These enchanting figures were his wives, Long Xiu, Shen Yin, and Lie Ning.
"Husband, did you build the valley here?" Long Xiu exclaimed with excitement after Xu Fang acknowledged their presence.
Xu Fang nodded and extended his arms. Without a moment's hesitation, Long Xiu, Shen Yin, and Lie Ning rushed into his embrace simultaneously.
"Husband, why did you name this valley 'PeakZhaiose Valley'? Wouldn't 'Xu Fang Valley' be fitting, just like you named the Mansion?" Long Xiu inquired with curiosity.
"I chose the name 'PeakZhaiose Valley' because I crafted this valley by blending elements from three different valleys I experienced in my dream life. 'Peak' comes from 'Valley of the Ten Peaks,' 'Zhai' from 'Jiuzhaigou,' and 'Ose' from 'Yosemite Valley.'"
"So, it's a blend from the world of your dream. Is it more magnificent than the valleys in this world?" Shen Yin asked, her excitement evident, especially after witnessing the mansion that surpassed the designs of this world.
"I can't say for sure because I haven't explored any valleys here yet," Xu Fang replied to Shen Yin, leaving the question open for discovery.
"Husband, I really want to see the valley you've built," Lie Ning expressed in a sweet tone.
"Sure, let's go. I crafted it for you all. Whenever you want to relax or enjoy your free time, this is the place to be. I also want to ensure all the arrays are functioning as intended. I've implemented a real-life time concept here with an artificial moon and sun. Additionally, there's a Yin and Yang Qi gathering array, which I've connected to the mansion's Yin and Yang Qi Chambers," Xu Fang explained, providing insights into the arrays he incorporated into the valley.
"That means we're living in the actual world outside of this treasure world," Long Xiu remarked after grasping the intricacies of Xu Fang's explanation.
"And we get to witness the sunrise and sunset in this valley," Shen Yin added with a joyful expression.
"Husband, let's go inside. I can't wait any longer after hearing all of this," Lie Ning declared, seizing Xu Fang's hand and eagerly pulling him toward the door.
"Hahaha..." Xu Fang chuckled at their excitement as they prepared to explore the marvels of PeakZhaiose Valley.
As Xu Fang and his wives approached the massive black door, it swung open without any physical contact, emitting a brilliant light that prompted all of them to close their eyes.
After a few moments, they reopened their eyes and stepped into PeakZhaiose Valley.
"Wow..." escaped from their lips, including Xu Fang.
"Beautiful," Long Xiu and Lie Ning were still entranced by the captivating scenery.
"Beautiful..." echoed Shen Yin, equally mesmerized.
Within the confines of PeakZhaiose Valley, the landscape unfolded like a masterpiece crafted by the gods. Towering peaks reached toward the heavens, their rugged silhouettes etched against a sky transitioning from the soft pinks of dawn to the fiery oranges of sunrise.
Jewel-like lake waters mirrored the heavens above, each ripple whispering tales of countless romantic stories. The vibrant foliage, a masterpiece of nature's palette, adorned the valley floor in a tapestry of reds, golds, and greens.
Waterfalls cascaded from towering cliffs, their voices echoing through the valley like a chorus in nature's symphony. Mist swirled in graceful arcs, kissed by the morning light, creating halos around ancient trees that stood as sentinels over the valley floor. Rare and diverse creatures wove through the underbrush, their presence a testament to the sanctuary this valley provided.
The air hummed with life—a blend of fragrant pine, the tang of crisp mountain air, and the sweet perfume of wildflowers. This haven, born from the fusion of distant lands, bore witness to a harmony that transcended borders. It was a convergence of beauty, a celebration of nature's magnificence. In various locations, a few bumbo houses could be seen, adding a touch of distinctiveness to the picturesque scene.
"Husband, it surpasses any valleys I've seen in the real world," Shen Yin exclaimed with a joyous and excited expression.
"Husband, Sister Yin is right. It's the most beautiful place I've witnessed in my entire life," Lie Ning echoed with happiness and excitement.
"Husband, I'm delighted to have seen this most beautiful place in my life," Long Xiu added with a smile and an excited expression.
At that moment, Xu Fang's gaze was drawn to the sun's rays as the first day of PeakZhaiose Valley unfolded, marking the beginning of a new era.
"My Beautiful wives, it's time for the sunrise. Witnessing the first sunrise of PeakZhaiose Valley is a moment to be cherished together," Xu Fang announced, and Long Xiu, Shen Yin, and Lie Ning turned their heads to marvel at the captivating sunrise.
As the sun breached the horizon, its golden rays cascaded over the merged valley, awakening a symphony of colors and shadows that danced upon the landscape. Towering peaks reminiscent of the legendary Ten Peaks stood proudly, their snow-capped summits glistening in the morning light.
Below, a tapestry of vivid hues unfolded in homage to the kaleidoscopic beauty of Jiuzhaigou. Crystal-clear lakes, their depths mirroring the sky's cerulean hue, nestled amidst verdant forests ablaze with the fiery reds, oranges, and yellows of autumn.
Majestic waterfalls thundered down sheer granite cliffs, reminiscent of Yosemite's grandeur, casting ethereal mist that swirled around ancient trees. Their leaves whispered secrets carried by the breeze, as diverse wildlife—a mosaic of creatures from three distant lands—thrived in harmony within this enchanted realm.
The air hummed with the melody of nature, the rush of water, the rustle of leaves, and the distant calls of birds echoing off the valley walls. It was a sanctuary where time seemed to stand still, inviting wanderers to lose themselves in its captivating embrace—a testament to the fusion of three of Earth's most revered valleys.
"Husband, having real birds and beasts here adds to the beauty of this valley," Lie Ning expressed with a joyful demeanor.
"Ning Er, indeed, there are various types of birds and other animals that I encountered in my dream. However, they are artificial, unlike the magical beasts present in the real world outside, they didn't cause any harm to anyone in here." Xu Fang explained to Lie Ning with a smile.
"Husband is correct. Sister Ning spotted that bird, and I haven't seen that type of bird before," Shen Yin affirmed, pointing towards the birds perched on a nearby tree.
"Husband, I love this place," Long Xiu declared with a smile as she embraced Xu Fang, expressing her affection for the enchanting PeakZhaiose Valley.
"HUSBAND, I LOVE YOU!" Shen Yin exclaimed louder in the valley, her words echoing throughout the entire expanse.
"I LOVE YOU, HUSBAND!" Following Shen Yin's lead, Long Xiu broke their embrace, and her proclamation resounded through the valley.
"I LOVE YOU, MY HANDSOME HUSBAND!" Not to be outdone, Lie Ning joined in, shouting her love with equal fervor.
"Hahaha..." Xu Fang chuckled at the enthusiastic declarations from Shen Yin, Long Xiu, and Lie Ning.
"Husband, why are you laughing at us? We want you to do the same for us too," Shen Yin remarked with a slightly annoyed expression.
"I don't want to," Xu Fang replied to Shen Yin with a smile, teasing his wives playfully.
"Please, Husband, please," Shen Yin pleaded, pouting her lips.
"I love you too," Xu Fang replied, stepping forward to embrace Shen Yin and whispering sweet words in her ear.
"Husband, not like this. I want you to shout out loud with our names," Shen Yin insisted after breaking the embrace, a sentiment echoed by the other two wives, who nodded in agreement.
"I LOVE YOU, YIN ER!" Xu Fang declared, shaking his hand, turning to face the other side, and shouting in the valley. His words resonated through the entire expanse, joining the declarations of his three wives.
"I LOVE YOU, XIU ER!"
"I LOVE YOU, NING ER!"
After Xu Fang's spirited declarations, Shen Yin, Long Xiu, and Lie Ning embraced him from all sides, their smiles filled with love and admiration.
"Husband is the best," Long Xiu whispered with a soft tone, expressing her admiration for Xu Fang.
"Let's sit here for a few more minutes before heading back to the real world. There are other things I need to attend to," Xu Fang suggested to his wives with a smile.
Walking a short distance towards the lake, they found a patch of grass to sit on. Xu Fang settled down first, with Long Xiu to his right and Shen Yin to his left, both embracing him.
"Sister Xiu, Sister Yin, did one of you switch places with me? I want to hug our Husband as well," Lie Ning playfully remarked, looking at Long Xiu and Shen Yin with a smile.
"Sister Ning, you can sit there for a few minutes, and then we can switch seats," Long Xiu suggested with a smile.
"Sister Ning, please wait a little. I also want to hug our Husband for a few minutes," Shen Yin added, also smiling at Lie Ning.
'Ning Er, leave them be. There's a seat for you here,' Xu Fang conveyed to Lie Ning in her mind, subtly directing her attention towards his lap.
Without hesitation, Lie Ning took her place, sitting on Xu Fang's lap and facing him as she hugged him from the front. Long Xiu and Shen Yin, seeing Lie Ning's action, realized their mistake.
"Sister Ning, come over here if you want to snag my spot," Shen Yin beckoned to Lie Ning with a friendly smile.
"Sister Yin, I'm good with my spot, thanks. It's just perfect," Lie Ning replied, chuckling.
