First visit to Nangong's house

The red-eyed youth flew at top speed, heading towards the Nangong Family.

After he left, in the desolate red mountain range, a few tiny figures peeked out.

They flapped their fiery red wings, and their crimson bodies could not hide the burning rage in their eyes.

“Big Brother, our clansmen are all dead.”

“Father, Mother, and Uncle Chi Huo, they’re all gone.”

A group of helpless little Phoenixes sobbed silently there.

Looking at the tragic deaths of their clansmen, their hearts were filled with endless sorrow.

Why did this disaster happen? Why did our Scarlet Flame Phoenix clan suffer such a calamity?

“Big Brother, we must take revenge.”

“Yes, revenge.”

“……”

The leading Phoenix did not cry, but its gaze was somewhat dim.

He was now the largest among the Scarlet Flame Phoenix clan and had to step forward to steady the emotions of his younger siblings.

He said, “With our strength, can we defeat that person?”

“So, we just let it go?”

“Of course not! I’ll go find Grandpa and the others to come and seek justice!”

The big Phoenix appeased the other surviving little Phoenixes and set off alone to find reinforcements.

That person must pay for the blood debt!

The young man was completely unaware that he had left behind trouble.

But even if he knew, it wouldn’t matter.

Those Divine Beasts attacked first; he merely retaliated a few times.

Who could have known that the other side was so weak, collapsing with a single strike?

As the young man flew, a green pendant hanging on his chest emitted a thought, clearly entering his ears.

“Chen Ye, are you really going back to the Nangong Family?”

“The Nangong Family is a Saint’s lineage. If you anger them, both you and I will die there.”

This thought carried a steady tone, advising him not to test the authority of a Saint’s lineage.

“Don’t worry, I’ve planned everything.”

“Do you think my years of cultivation have been in vain?”

“During these one hundred thousand years, I have constantly made friends, and my network extends across most of the Heavens. Any major power has received my favor.”

“Although I am only a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, my strength is comparable to a Chaos.”

“Unless a Saint appears, I am invincible!”

“Moreover, even if I can wait, my mother cannot.”

“She is suppressed beneath Lihuo Divine Mountain, enduring the torment of flames day and night. As her son, how can I not go and rescue her?”

Chen Ye was extremely angry. Why was his mother suppressed under Lihuo Divine Mountain?

Was she no longer a member of the Nangong Family?!

Or was it that his father’s status was lowly, unworthy of the Nangong Family’s threshold!

The thought from the pendant said, “As you wish. You have grown up, and I will no longer interfere excessively.”

“But I want to ask one more thing: what will you use to split open Lihuo Divine Mountain?”

Chen Ye said with a hint of pride, “Of course, it’s this.”

He drew out a gleaming, cold white jade axe, carved with Dragons and Phoenixes, faintly emitting the cries of Divine Beasts.

“This is?”

“The Extreme Cold White Jade Axe, which I commissioned from the people of Hundred Refinements Immortal Mountain. It’s made of excellent ice-cold Chaos jade, specifically designed to counter Lihuo.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve already made thorough preparations.”

The thought from the pendant said no more, only, “It’s good that you’re prepared.”

……

At this moment, the Nangong Family was filled with gongs and drums, decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers.

Countless auspicious clouds and colorful rays filled the sky, and rare Divine Beasts flew back and forth across the firmament, bringing an endless stream of people.

Nothing else, it was the Nangong Family Head’s millionth birthday, and friendly forces came one after another to offer congratulations.

These people were all here to celebrate, but there were so many that it looked like a surging crowd.

“Fellow Daoist Liu, long time no see.”

“Brother Cai, you are truly a rare guest. It’s been thirty thousand years since we last met, hasn’t it?”

“Alas, I’ve been busy with secluded Cultivation, and there’s still no progress. I feel my talent is shallow.”

“Haha, Fellow Daoist Liu is joking. You’re only one step away from achieving the Dao of Chaos, yet you still say your talent is shallow.”

“Let’s not talk about this. Is this your son? His middle-parted hair is quite unique.”

“This is my son, Xu Kun. He lost in the Holy Temple’s training camp not long ago. He’s just an unaccomplished child.”

“……”

Many people took this opportunity to bring their children.

They hoped to find suitable Dao Companions at this high-end gathering.

As the Dragon begets Dragon and the Phoenix begets Phoenix, only young prodigies and noble young misses from such circles could enter their sight.

The Nangong Family’s retinue had long been waiting at the main gate.

The leading butler even shouted, “All of you, perk up!”

“Today is Young Miss’s day to return home. If anyone makes a mistake, be careful, I won’t show any mercy!”

At the main gate, the guards and maids all perked up, not daring to breathe loudly.

Young Miss, she was a peerless Prodigy who had joined the Tiandao Sect and became the Tiandao Sect’s Divine Maiden.

She was not only exceptionally talented but also possessed unparalleled beauty.

A perfect woman, unique in the world.

Outside the main gate, some visitors were also impressed by this display.

The Nangong Family’s Young Miss, the Tiandao Sect’s Divine Maiden, that title was quite grand.

Many also became interested and stopped to watch, wanting to see what kind of demeanor this Nangong Family’s Young Miss possessed.

Among the crowd, Chen Ye blended into the retinue of a certain power.

This power was on good terms with him, so accommodating him was not a problem.

He was about to enter the Nangong Family with the group, but when he heard the term “Young Miss,” he stopped.

“After rescuing Mother, if I want to escape safely, I need an extra safeguard.”

“Perhaps I can use her as a hostage.”

Therefore, Chen Ye said to the others, “You go in first. I want to watch the excitement.”

The people from that power didn’t think much of it and allowed him to stay outside.

And Chen Ye did not act too ostentatiously, discreetly blending into the crowd.

Suddenly, the butler saw a magnificent and mighty procession slowly flying from the distant sky.

Leading the way was a white-browed tiger with boundless Aura, its roar swallowing mountains and rivers.

The banners at the front also bore the words [Tiandao].

The butler immediately said solemnly, “It’s Young Miss’s procession. All of you, perk up!”

“Rise!”

At the butler’s command, the maids voluntarily flew up.

Starting from the main gate, they slowly paved a hundred-mile-wide path of colorful clouds.

Golden lotuses dotted it, emitting bursts of fragrance.

It stretched for more than ten thousand miles, extending all the way to the feet of the Tiandao Sect’s procession.

This display left all visitors awestruck.

This Celestial Jade Lotus was a treasure for Cultivation, effective in clearing the mind and calming the spirit, and greatly useful even for Taiyi Golden Immortals.

A ten-thousand-mile golden lotus bridge, just to welcome Young Miss home, was somewhat wasteful.

Chen Ye stared intently at the Tiandao Sect’s extravagant carriage, wanting to remember the appearance of this Nangong Family’s Young Miss.

To avoid capturing the wrong person.

……

Inside the carriage, NanGong XiMeng and Xiao Fang became familiar with each other.

Knowing that Xiao Fang was Xiao Fan’s adopted daughter, she felt at ease.

She had thought Xiao Fan had a child.

Xiao Fan doted on Xiao Fang very much, and loving the house for the sake of the person in it, NanGong XiMeng was the same.

Outside the carriage, a maid respectfully said, “Young Miss, we’re home.”

NanGong XiMeng said, “I know.”

“Pretty big sister, is your home fun?” Xiao Fang snuggled in her arms, asking expectantly.

NanGong XiMeng gently replied, “Of course. There are many children like Xiao Fang. If you play together, you might have common interests.”

“Yay! Then I’ll follow you.”

“Daddy, I’ll be playing with Big Sister Nangong these days. Don’t miss me too much.”

Xiao Fan was a little helpless. Alas, she doesn’t want me anymore.

Xiao Fang hugged NanGong XiMeng’s jade neck tightly, her eyes full of anticipation.

NanGong XiMeng extended her Divine Sense and saw the grand display, feeling a little speechless.

Why this kind of display again? Is Father afraid others won’t know I’m back?

She casually conjured a purple veil and lightly covered her face.

Xiao Fan asked, “What is this?”

NanGong XiMeng, holding Xiao Fang with her left hand, naturally linked her right arm with Xiao Fan’s and smiled, “I only reveal my face to those I care about.”

Xiao Fan’s heart was extremely satisfied. He admitted that NanGong XiMeng was very good at fulfilling his possessiveness.

“I’ll help you.”

He waved his hand, and layers of hazy, invisible Qi covered her face.

NanGong XiMeng nodded and walked out, still linked arm-in-arm with him.

The crowd, who had been waiting for a long time, saw a woman with a purple veil covering her face emerge.

However, they couldn’t make out her features, only vaguely seeing a noble and sacred Aura emanating from her.

Before they could even marvel, everyone was shocked by the little girl in her arms and the youth with unparalleled immortal beauty beside her.

Ah? The Nangong Family’s Young Miss had a child?

Many felt a hint of jealousy. Who was this boy?

To actually win the Nangong Young Miss’s heart.

……

In a grand hall of the Nangong Family, a middle-aged man, five-tenths similar to NanGong XiMeng, flew up, excitedly setting off to greet his beloved daughter whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.

But before he could even move, he witnessed a scene that left him dumbfounded.

A little girl, a young man, and they’re holding hands so intimately?

What does this mean? Are they stealing my daughter?!

He was furious, exclaiming, “Where did this brat come from, daring to abduct my Meng’er!”

“The child is already so big, haven’t you ever died before?!”
