496: Reunion (I)
“Marshal Su!”
Upon seeing Su Xiaobai, everyone called out excitedly.
Su Xiaobai landed on the ground and said with a smile, “Everyone, rest assured, the Demon Emperor of the Raging Sea and the Mamba Demon Emperor have both been executed. We… won!”
He raised his arm.
“We won!!!”
Everyone immediately embraced each other and wept. Surviving a disaster, there was nothing more exciting and comforting than this.
Su Xiaobai couldn't help but smile, and at that moment, two soft bodies threw themselves into his arms.
The Empress and Dongfang Qian Yue hugged him tightly, as if afraid that what they saw was just an illusion and would disappear in the next moment.
Su Xiaobai could even feel their bodies trembling.
He gently patted their backs and softly said, “It’s alright, I’m back, and I won’t leave again.”
“Really?”
The two women looked up, their beautiful Faces already tear-stained, making one feel pity.
A strong sense of guilt rose in Su Xiaobai’s heart. When he went to the Outer Heavens, he didn't even have time to see them one last time, leaving only a farewell letter.
He could see that their Faces were much more haggard than before.
“Really, I won’t leave again…”
He held the two women tightly.
The others saw this and did not disturb them; instead, warm smiles appeared on their Faces.
“This is great! I knew Brother Xiaobai wouldn't die!” Ling Xiao clenched his fists excitedly.
Black Abyss’s heart pounded violently, and his feet trembled as he retreated. “I… I need to go tell my sister this news!”
Bing Ling’s eyes were slightly red, and her jade hands tightly clutched her skirt. “This is great, Xiaobai isn’t dead, my Disciple is still alive…”
“Cough cough!”
Suddenly, an untimely cough broke the tranquility.
“Although it’s a bit rude to interrupt your reunion so abruptly, leaving me aside like this makes me lose a lot of Face!”
Jiang Yunqing’s tone was resentful.
“Ah!”
Only then did everyone realize that their Heavenly Dao Lord had been standing by all along!
Dongfang Qian Yue and the Empress immediately blushed and quickly pushed Su Xiaobai away.
Then they looked at Jiang Yunqing.
Their first impression of this white-haired girl was her beauty that amazed everyone, and their second impression was her boundless power.
Dongfang Qian Yue blinked. This white-haired girl seemed to have a very strong connection with her, indescribable, but she felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to her.
Just like… a Mother…
Ling Xiao also had this feeling.
Because the two were Dao seeds left by Jiang Yunqing, pure individuals extracted from the Great Dao of Hun Yuan Heaven, they would instinctively feel close to her, who was the Heavenly Dao.
The Empress, on the other hand, felt a hidden sense of alert. She hadn't expected that their Heavenly Dao not only had a physical form but was also such a beautiful woman.
Coupled with her intimate behavior with Xiaobai, she felt a little flustered.
Women are always wary of another woman, especially when that woman is more outstanding than themselves!
Everyone belatedly realized and quickly bowed down.
“Greetings, Heavenly Dao Lord!!”
Only then did Jiang Yunqing nod contentedly. “Not bad, not bad, you all did very well. I am very pleased.”
Su Xiaobai looked at her speechlessly: “ (lll ¬ ω ¬ ) ”
At this moment, he felt someone pull him and turned around in confusion.
The Empress looked at him with concern: “Xiaobai, what happened after you went to the Outer Heavens? What about that Devil Emperor’s remnant soul? And how did you Breakthrough to the Immortal King Realm?”
“And…” She subtly glanced at Jiang Yunqing and whispered, “What is your relationship with the Heavenly Dao Lord?”
Everyone remained silent, their ears perked up to listen.
The Empress’s questions were also their questions.
How could Su Xiaobai not know her thoughts? To avoid a harem fire, he immediately said solemnly, “Your Majesty has misunderstood. Actually, she is my sister, my biological sister.”
“What?! The Heavenly Dao Lord is your sister?!”
The Empress’s eyes widened.
This answer was even more shocking than “she’s my new wife”!
Not only her, but everyone else was also like this, looking at Jiang Yunqing and Su Xiaobai in disbelief.
Marshal Su is actually the Heavenly Dao’s brother!
“Cough cough!” Jiang Yunqing coughed, her hands behind her back, in an old-fashioned posture: “As the saying goes, an elder sister is like a father. When you see me… you don’t even greet me?”
The Empress and Dongfang Qian Yue also quickly reacted, hastily cupping their hands and bowing to her.
“This concubine, Lin Yao, greets Elder Sister!”
“This concubine, Dongfang Qian Yue, greets Elder Sister!”
Their humble and respectful posture was something even Su Xiaobai had never seen.
Indeed, is this the pressure of meeting the family?
The two women’s hearts pounded violently, afraid that their performance just now would displease Su Xiaobai’s sister.
But at this moment, Jiang Yunqing stepped forward, patted their shoulders, and laughed heartily: “Don’t be so reserved, Elder Sister, I am very kind. I was just joking with you!”
“Alright, little brother, I won’t disturb your reunion anymore. I’ll be going.”
Having made her presence known, Jiang Yunqing left contentedly.
Su Xiaobai then took the Empress and the others back to the Su Manor.
He knew they had many questions in their hearts and wished they could dissect him right now to get clear answers.
…
Su Manor.
That night, the Su Manor, which had been desolate for a long time, became lively again.
Su Xiaobai once again started a barbecue in the manor.
Even after becoming an Immortal King, he still believed that eating could not be neglected! If life lacked food, what was the point of living?
The maids in the manor, who had thought Su Xiaobai was dead, were overjoyed and cried when they saw him return.
Even Si Nan, who always wanted to take over as host, was stunned when she saw Su Xiaobai return safely, and tears unconsciously streamed down her Face.
Although this guy usually had a foul mouth and often gave her empty promises, it wasn't until you lost someone that you realized you had already grown accustomed to his presence and made it a motivation for life.
That night.
Many people came to the banquet; all of Su Xiaobai’s relatives and friends were present.
Even Lin Tiantian and Li Luo swaggered into the Su Manor to freeload a meal.
“So, Xiaobai, your real surname is Jiang, but you changed it to Su to repay your Master for raising you?”
Bing Ling said in surprise while stroking the fur of the kitten on her lap.
“Meow~”
Little Ling let out a soft, sweet meow.
After Su Xiaobai became an Immortal King, he also provided it with ample Immortal Qi, allowing it to awaken from its slumber.
This little cat had also suffered many misfortunes; ever since it followed Su Xiaobai, it hadn't had a single good day.
It was either unconscious or on its way to becoming unconscious.
And compared to Su Xiaobai, it seemed to cling more to Bing Ling, perhaps because it was truly scared.
“Yes, good men who know how to repay kindness like me are rare!” Su Xiaobai proudly patted his chest. “However, now that his kindness has been repaid, I will slowly change back to the surname ‘Jiang’.”
He had just confessed his experiences after going to the Outer Heavens to everyone.
Of course, there were some exaggerated and self-beautifying parts.
But the general course of events had been clearly explained.
Everyone listened with great interest.
Especially his little fanboy Ling Xiao, who wished he could get his autograph on the spot.
“Holy Monarch, you are a man of deep affection and righteousness. Li Luo admires you. I toast to the Holy Monarch!”
Li Luo stood up and raised his cup, looking at Su Xiaobai with admiration.
“Eh~, low profile, low profile~”
Su Xiaobai waved his hand, but in his heart, his nose was already pointing to the sky.
“Heh, monkey farts, this Emperor has never seen such a shameless person!”
A female voice suddenly rang out.
