How are things going on your end?

Liu Qingyan wiped away the tears on her cheeks and asked.

"Fortunately, they're just petty scoundrels; it's just that some old fogies haven't dared to show themselves."

After Xu Yunfan finished speaking, a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

"When will you be able to return?"

Liu Qingyan bit her lip and asked.

"Perhaps soon, or perhaps very far away," Xu Yunfan said.

After saying that, he relaxed his brows, smiled slightly, and the bell in his hand rang out with a clear and melodious sound.

"This smoke is for you."

As he spoke, he tossed the bell in his hand.

The bell immediately floated in mid-air, then slowly flew into Liu Qingyan's palm.

Looking at the bell in front of her, Liu paused for a moment, then pouted slightly.

"This was specially crafted for you from ten-thousand-year-old spiritual jade; it will protect you in my place."

Xu Yunfan's voice was soft and gentle.

Liu Qingyan looked at him tenderly, her eyes filled with longing.

Until Xu Yunfan's figure gradually disappeared.

Although Xu Xiwang was unable to speak, his consciousness gradually returned, and he listened to his parents' mushy love words.

He suddenly realized that his parents were his true love, and that he was just an accident.

Xu Yunfan's mysterious power was constantly nourishing his body, and his extremely aged face began to slowly regain its rosy hue.

But his white hair remained as white as snowflakes, never fading away.

Listening to Liu Qingyan's murmured words as she sat beside Xu Xiwang.

Xu Xiwang opened her eyes and stared at Liu Qingyan's retreating figure.

There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"mom."

Xu Xiwang called out softly.

Liu Qingyan trembled upon hearing this.

He then turned around and looked at Xu Xiwang.

"Hope, you... what did you say?"

Liu Qingyan looked at him with surprise and delight, her eyes filled with relief.

She knew that her precious son had finally woken up.

I said, "I want to drink water."

Xu Xiwang said.

Xu Xiwang said.

"Alright, alright, you just wait."

Liu Qingyan quickly stood up and left the secret room.

A short while later, he came in with a cup of warm tea.

She handed the tea to Xu Xiwang.

"Come, Hope, have some water."

"kindness."

Xu Xiwang smiled and nodded, took the teacup, tilted his head back and drank the tea.

But then he coughed lightly, and as the water and blood mingled, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"hope!"

Liu Qingyan was startled and quickly hugged Xu Xiwang to check on him.

"Mom, I'm fine."

"Silly child, why did you take such a risk! If your father hadn't descended in his ethereal form, you probably wouldn't have survived much longer!"

Liu Qingyan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said.

"Why hasn't Father returned yet?"

"He will come back, but not now; he has a more important mission."

“Mom, what I did was for my mission. Two Transcendent Realm Demon Kings attacked the South China Sea. If I didn’t fight to the death, even more people in South China Sea City would die.”

Xu Xiwang explained.

"I know, but I hope you won't take that risk again."

Liu Qingyan's eyes were red.

She never sheds tears, but for the sake of hope, she cried uncontrollably.

"Mom, don't worry, I'm fine. I just used up too much energy just now."

"Silly child."

"By the way, Mom, I heard some news about Third Uncle from the demons we killed."

Xu Xiwang suddenly said.

"How is your third uncle... how is he?"

Liu Qingyan was taken aback upon hearing this.

"The Ghost Clan says that Third Uncle seized the Netherworld Flower, but in doing so, he also loosened the Ghost Clan's seal. Now, many powerful Ghost Clan members are hunting down Third Uncle."

Xu Xiwang continued, "I think Third Uncle is in great danger right now."

Liu Qingyan's face darkened, her eyes flashing with a cold light, but she remained silent.

"Mom, once I've recovered a bit, I want to go see Uncle San."

"No! In your current state, if you encounter a powerful ghost, you'll surely be captured and your soul refined and absorbed! I won't allow it!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyan resolutely refused; she would not allow her son to venture into any dangerous places.

"But Mom, I've already reached the third level of the Transformation Realm, and I have the strength to protect myself."

Xu Xiwang murmured, "Besides, my life is almost over. Han Shuang, in order to protect me, also only has a slim chance of survival. I'm going to find my third uncle, hoping to save Han Shuang."

"I won't agree!"

Liu Qingyan firmly rejected the idea.

"Mom, please let me go. I'll come back safely. I can't let Han Shuang die!"

Xu pleaded, his eyes filled with a hint of entreaty.
