293: Chapter 293 Feng Wu, I've finally seen you again.

Long Hao popped out from the side, his dragon tail swaying back and forth, and said with a smile:

"Exactly, exactly, Sister Feng Wu, no need to be shy. We all understand and support you!"

"Right, right, right, we all support you. You are the only candidate for Empress!"

"You guys..." Feng Wu bit her lip and glared at them, but the blush on her cheeks could not be suppressed.

Feng Xi held her aunt's arm, her eyes curving into crescent moons with laughter.

She leaned into Feng Wu's ear and whispered, "Auntie, ignore them. When you see the Great Emperor later, make sure to perform well!"

Feng Wu pinched her face and said nothing, but a hint of softness flashed in her eyes.

"Let's go, let's go, time to see Uncle Jiang!" Little War Emperor was already impatient and was the first to step onto the Golden Light Avenue.

"Wait for me!" Feng Xi hurried to follow.

Everyone stepped onto the Golden Light Avenue with laughter.

As soon as he stepped on the Golden Light Avenue, Little War Emperor marveled, "This Golden Light Avenue is really beautiful and so grand!!"

Feng Xi also kept turning her head to look, her eyes shining: "Yes, and there are Dragon and Phoenix phantoms flying on both sides. It's so beautiful!"

After watching for a while, Little War Emperor turned to look at everyone and said seriously:

"I've decided, I'm going to have a Golden Light Avenue too in the future. It's both beautiful and imposing!"

Feng Xi nodded vigorously: "Me too, me too! The Great Emperor has such great taste!"

Battle Saint Venerable laughed upon hearing this and touched Little War Emperor's head:

"Are you envious? Then you'll have to work hard. You have to at least prove the Dao, otherwise, how could you have the face to use a Golden Light Avenue just like your Uncle Jiang's?"

"Uh..." Little War Emperor was stunned, then said confidently, "Then I'll prove the Dao. It won't be long before I prove the Dao and become an Emperor!"

He was the Little War Emperor, never lacking in confidence. If he had to prove the Dao, then he would!

"Keep it up!"

Everyone chatted and laughed as they walked forward along the Golden Light Avenue.

Soon, they reached the end of the avenue.

A majestic hall stood before them.

A plaque hung above the hall door with three large characters written on it—Lingxiao Palace.

The hall doors were wide open, and a figure stood at the entrance, looking at them with a smile.

Black clothes, black hair, a peaceful face, and gentle eyes.

It was indeed Jiang Hao.

"Old Jiang!" Long Hao was the first to rush up and give Jiang Hao a big hug.

He hugged very tightly; this was the eruption of a long-lost friend's longing after two hundred thousand years.

Long Hao sized Jiang Hao up, his eyes a bit red:

"Two hundred thousand years have passed, and you're still so young, not changed at all. It's truly like a legend. Heavenly Emperor Jiang is indeed invincible!"

Jiang Hao laughed, patted his shoulder, waved his hand, and pretended to be modest, "It's alright, it's alright!"

"Haha, you fellow."

Battle Saint Venerable strode over and, without a word, gave him a bear hug.

"Old Jiang!" He let go, his golden eyes staring at Jiang Hao as he grinned, "Still the same vibe, no change!"

Jiang Hao also smiled: "You haven't changed either. Long time no see!"

"Long time no see!"

Ancient God Child stepped forward to greet him, "Brother Jiang, long time no see!"

Jiang Hao smiled and said, "Brother Ancient, long time no see."

Ancient God Child looked at Jiang Hao, a look of emotion flashing in his eyes: "Two hundred thousand years, and the Great Emperor's grace is even greater than before."

"Haha, everyone is the same."

Sword Demon stepped forward, bowed with his sword in hand, still silent.

Jiang Hao nodded to him, everything understood without words.

Then Luo Hongchen and the others also greeted him one by one; the reunion of old friends was very warm.

After all the peers had met, the three juniors finally squeezed forward.

Feng Xi was the first to rush in front of Jiang Hao, her eyes shining like stars.

"Great Emperor, Great Emperor!" She pulled on Jiang Hao's sleeve, her face red with excitement, "I haven't seen you for two hundred thousand years, I missed you so much. I finally see you again. Did you miss me!"

Jiang Hao smiled and reached out to pat her head.

"Little Feng Xi, long time no see. Welcome back. You've become even more beautiful."

As for Feng Xi, Jiang Hao quite missed this girl; she had a cheerful personality, was sensible, and was the descendant of an old friend, making her very well-liked.

Feng Xi's face turned even redder, but her eyes curved into crescent moons, and she smiled happily.

Little War Emperor leaned in, looking up at Jiang Hao, trying hard to act like an adult: "Uncle Jiang, long time no see!"

Jiang Hao looked at him with a smile and said, "Long time no see, little guy."

Little War Emperor looked more and more heroic and Divine Might, increasingly resembling his father's style.

Then Jiang Hao greeted Chu Changge as well.

After the three juniors finished, only one was left.

Feng Xi pushed her aunt and whispered, "Auntie, it's your turn. Good luck!"

The others also tactfully stepped back.

Feng Wu took a deep breath and walked up to Jiang Hao.

Their eyes met.

The surrounding sounds seemed to fade away.

Feng Wu looked at the person before her.

Two hundred thousand years.

This face, this gaze, this reassuring aura—not a single thing had changed.

She had once thought that after waking from her self-seal and seeing him again, she could be like any other old friend and calmly say, "Long time no see."

She could be like the Lord of the Phoenix Realm she once was—dignified, composed, and unperturbed.

But at this moment, with Jiang Hao standing right there and those eyes looking at her, she found that all the calmness she had prepared for so long was completely useless.

Her heart was beating faster and faster!

So fast it didn't seem like the heart of a powerhouse who had once been the Lord of the Phoenix Realm.

It turned out that in front of him, she was still just a young girl, unable to control her emotions.

Just like she used to be.

Jiang Hao looked at Feng Wu.

She was still so beautiful.

Those phoenix eyes were deeper than before, and there was more majesty in her features.

But at this moment, that majesty had faded, leaving only the hidden softness of a woman looking at the one she loved.

Two hundred thousand years!

Jiang Hao took a step forward, raised his hand, and gently stroked Feng Wu's cheek; it was all so natural.

Feng Wu's body trembled slightly for an instant, and she stared blankly at Jiang Hao.

"Feng Wu." Jiang Hao called her name softly, with a tenderness settled over two hundred thousand years, full of love.

"I finally see you again."

Feng Wu's eyes suddenly turned red.

She opened her mouth to say something, but nothing would come out.

Two hundred thousand years.

She had waited for these words for two hundred thousand years.

Back then on the Ancient Path, she had followed behind Jiang Hao, fighting enemies alongside him and healing him when he was injured.

She watched him sweep through everything, watched him prove the Dao and become an Emperor, watched him reign over the All Heavens!

She had said nothing, only followed silently, watched silently, blessed him silently, and silently hid her feelings.

She thought her life would just be like this.

To be able to watch him from afar was enough.

To be able to help when he needed it was enough.

To be able to leave a small mark in his heart was enough.

But at this moment, with him standing right there, his hand stroking her face, and hearing him say "I finally see you again"...

All the tenderness and love she had hidden for two hundred thousand years came rushing up.

"Jiang Hao..." she called his name softly, her voice trembling.

She spoke that name again, the name she had silently recited countless times in her heart on the Ancient Path.

Jiang Hao looked at her reddened eyes and the surging emotions within them, and a part of his heart softened intensely.

Jiang Hao reached out and gently pulled her into his arms.

This time, Jiang Hao no longer hid his feelings and expressed his love directly.

Because it was no longer necessary; if he liked her, he would express it directly.

Feng Wu's entire body froze; excitement, joy—no words could express her current state of mind.

Then, she slowly relaxed and buried her face against Jiang Hao's shoulder.
