189: Chapter 189 Family Reunion

Li Tianmingyue approached step by step, her entire body trembling incessantly. The sound of her shoes scraping against the ruins was exceptionally clear in the silence, the short distance of a few steps feeling like an eternity.

When she finally reached Jiang Xuan, and saw his incomparably handsome face, the infant in her memory gradually overlapped with this face.

Li Tianmingyue's body suddenly shook. Her thin hand tightly gripped Jiang Xuan's sleeve, her nails digging deep into the fabric. She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word. Tears welled up like a spring, rolling down her cheeks and leaving two shallow trails.

After an unknown amount of time, a hoarse, trembling voice came, "Xuaner... my Xuaner..."

This address, which she had called countless times in her heart, now came out with an uncontrollable tremor. She was afraid, afraid that Jiang Xuan would resent her for leaving him when he was young, for not having received a mother's love.

Jiang Xuan froze in place. He had imagined countless scenarios for their reunion, believing his Heart-Nature was stable enough. But at this moment, he felt a sensation he had never experienced in this life or the last, a Bloodline connection that made it impossible for his inner self to remain calm.

Seeing that Jiang Xuan hadn't spoken for a long time, a hint of pain flashed in Li Tianmingyue's eyes. Her body trembled slightly, as if she might collapse at any moment.

"Mother..."

Just then, a soft call broke the silence. Li Tianmingyue's expression trembled, her heart overwhelmed with endless joy. She had waited over twenty years for this address, this sound that had echoed countless times in her dreams now finally became reality.

She didn't speak, but stepped forward and tightly embraced Jiang Xuan. This was her child... Jiang Xuan gently patted her back, feeling the weak Qi within her, his voice low and firm, "Mother, I've come to take you home. From today on, no one will ever be able to harm you in the slightest."

"Let's go home..."

...The Great Li Dynasty's current first capital, Qinglin City, Xuan Mountain.

In the Void Realm, Li Tianmingyue looked at the Jiang Family below, which had become as grand as an Imperial Clan, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. It was vastly different from the Jiang Family in her memory.

She couldn't help but turn to look at Jiang Xuan beside her, her heart aching. "Xuaner, it must have been very tiring all these years."

Jiang Xuan smiled and shook his head, "Mother, it wasn't tiring."

"Let's go down. Father will definitely be very happy to see you."

Li Tianmingyue's face uncharacteristically flushed, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes. She hastily asked, "Xuaner, Mother... Mother hasn't aged, has she...?"

Jiang Xuan was stunned, then immediately understood and chuckled. "Mother, you are still the most beautiful woman in the world. Father will probably be unable to take his eyes off you when he sees you."

Li Tianmingyue's expression was joyful. Then she narrowed her eyes and asked, "Did your father remarry?"

"No, he thinks about you every day."

"Hmph, good for him for being honest..."

Jiang Family, Clan Chief's residence. Jiang Yuntian looked at the portrait of a stunning woman in his hand, his eyes filled with longing. "Qing'er, how are you...?"

"Creak..."

As he murmured to himself, the door was suddenly pushed open. Jiang Yuntian frowned. Who was so ill-mannered as to enter without knocking?

He turned his head and saw Jiang Xuan standing at the doorway, smiling. "Xuaner! You..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a stunning woman walk into the room, tears shimmering in her eyes.

"Clatter!"

The portrait in Jiang Yuntian's hand instantly fell to the ground. His body stiffened abruptly, and he stared at the woman before him in disbelief, his lips trembling. "Qing... Qing'er..."

Li Tianmingyue revealed a captivating smile, her face streaked with tears. "Tian Ge..."

Hearing this 'Tian Ge', Jiang Yuntian's body trembled violently. He rushed forward and pulled Li Tianmingyue into his embrace.

Seeing this, Jiang Xuan rubbed his nose and left the room with a smile.

That night, the family of three sat in the courtyard, recounting the events of the past years. Bursts of laughter occasionally echoed through the night sky.

"Xuaner, these are clothes Mother tried to make for you over the years. Mother didn't know your size, so I could only imagine. Hurry and try them on to see if they fit."

In the courtyard, Li Tianmingyue held a white mystic robe and handed it to Jiang Xuan, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Jiang Xuan looked at the pile of clothes on the table, ranging from infant to adult sizes, and was deeply moved. "Thank you, Mother."

Not long after, Li Tianmingyue looked at the peerlessly elegant and ethereal Young Master in white before her, her eyes revealing satisfaction. "As expected of my son. With this appearance, I don't know how many girls he will charm."

Jiang Yuntian, drinking wine nearby, proudly said, "Hehe, my Jiang Yuntian's son is naturally handsome, he takes after me."

Li Tianmingyue rolled her eyes at him. "Go on, what does that have to do with you?"

After speaking, she turned back to Jiang Xuan, her expression quite solemn. "Xuaner, the Li Tian Emperor Clan no longer exists. Your uncles and their faction all stood with your mother. Without them, Mother might not have had the chance to see you all. You must not blame them."

Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mother. All those who deserved to die have been killed. I have already arranged for your uncles to enter the Heaven Realm, and established the Bright Moon Palace in your name. You will be the Palace Master from now on."

Li Tianmingyue looked at Jiang Xuan gratefully, her eyes full of maternal love. Now, their family could see each other often... On the peak of Xuan Mountain, Jiang Xuan looked up, a smile playing on his lips. Tonight's moon seemed even rounder.

He then looked at the staircase in the Void Realm that connected to the Three Realms Battlefield, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. It was time to leave.

Although he had brought his mother back, there were still more powerful enemies waiting for him.

Looking down at the brightly lit Jiang Family, Jiang Xuan's hands clasped behind his back tightened. To preserve this warmth, his current strength was far from enough.

[Ding, detecting host's current situation. Now releasing a mission: Go to the Three Realms Battlefield and annihilate the Demon Race Prodigies! Reward: 20 million limit points, one mysterious gift package.]

The System's notification pulled Jiang Xuan's thoughts back. It seemed that the Three Realms Battlefield was a place he absolutely had to go!

The next day, Jiang Xuan gave his mother the white jade token for the Heaven Realm, then left the Jiang Family. With the Heaven Realm, they could meet anytime, so there was no grand farewell.

A few days later, at the Emperor Alliance's location in the center of Shenzhou, all Prodigies above the Saint level from across the Nine Provinces gathered. Some were excited, their bodies radiating strong Battle Intent, their eyes filled with killing intent. Others had fear in their eyes, afraid of dying on the battlefield.

Above the crowd, all the Human Race Great Emperors, except for the few guarding the borders, were present. Gu Zhongtian and Old Ancestor Gu Ni of the Gu Imperial Clan had gloomy expressions, their gazes constantly sweeping through the crowd.

"Old Ancestor, if Jiang Xuan doesn't come, won't our plan be ruined?"

"Don't rush, wait a little longer."

In the crowd, Desolate Heaven and a few others stood in place. Man Dali whispered, "Boss, when will your main body arrive?"

Desolate Heaven shook his folding fan and smiled, "Isn't he here?"

Upon hearing this, the others immediately turned around. They saw a Void Realm door appear, and Jiang Xuan's figure stepped out from within. All the Prodigies, including the Great Emperors, looked towards Jiang Xuan.

"Boss, I've missed you so much!" Man Dali shouted excitedly. Although Desolate Heaven was also Jiang Xuan, he still preferred Jiang Xuan's main body.

Above, the two Great Emperors of the Gu Imperial Clan, Gu Zhongtian, had cold expressions. "Hehe, Jiang Xuan, you've finally come!"

...Demon Realm, below the battlefield staircase. Countless Demon Race Prodigies stood in the Void Realm. From a distance, their numbers were several times greater than those of the Human Race. An evil aura enveloped the surroundings, and every Demon Race member had a cruel, bloodthirsty smile on their face.

At the very front of them was a young figure, his forehead covered with black runes, his eyes like abysses, and his aura terrifyingly abnormal.

"Jiu You, this time, you will lead our race to bring back the Yao Race and Human Race blood food!"
