Ji Jiuying picked up the Hunyuan Pearl given to her by Yu Bugui and began to study it, but she couldn't figure it out after a long time.

Just then, Hei Xiangling slowly opened her eyes.

"Sister Xiangling, you're awake?"

Little Phoenix, who was standing beside her, had her eyes shining and said with delight.

Hei Xiangling slowly sat up, rubbing her head: "How long have I been unconscious?"

"Not long, about half a month."

Ji Jiuying walked up and gave her a helpless look.

Hei Xiangling gathered a ball of power in her hand, her eyes flickering slightly. Now that she had lost 20,000 cultivation points, she couldn't even defeat the old dragon from the East. How could she avenge her clan's annihilation in the God Realm?

"What? Regretting it?"

"No!"

As they spoke, Hei Xiangling's gaze fell on the Chaos Pearl in her hand, and she asked in surprise, "Huh, where did you get the Chaos Pearl?"

"It was given to me by my cheap master, but I've studied this Chaos Pearl for a long time and still haven't found a way to open it."

Hei Xiangling was slightly taken aback, looking at Ji Jiuying as if she were an idiot: "Why do you want to open it? Why don't you just put it in your dantian and use the Nine Heavens Profound Fire to refine it? That way you can get the power inside it."

Upon hearing Hei Xiangling's words, Ji Jiuying stood up abruptly: "Xiangling, are you serious?"

Hei Xiangling nodded: "Back in the God Realm, I personally witnessed those gods using divine fire to refine the Chaos Pearl, and they finished refining it in less than a day."

"Since you also possess divine fire, refining it in your dantian might just help you break through to the Heavenly Venerable realm."

Ji Jiuying was overjoyed. It turned out that it needed to be refined with divine fire. Divine fire was rare in this world, so it was no wonder that those people couldn't open such a precious Chaos Pearl. They could only look at it but couldn't eat it, so it was indeed of no use to them.

However, just in case, Ji Jiuying still planned to go and train to consolidate her strength before consuming the Hunyuan Pearl.

Without hesitation, Ji Jiuying returned to the Feng family, bid farewell to Feng Lan, and left Xiao Huang'er and Xuanwu by her side to keep her company. Then, she went to the Dragon Abyss Forest alone, where she stayed for two months.

During this time, Qi Yun also successfully fused with the Immortal Lotus Spirit Jade and ascended ahead of schedule. Before ascending, she took the initiative to give her soul blood to Ji Jiuying. After all, she was able to have this chance to be reborn entirely because of Ji Jiuying's help, and she had never forgotten what she had promised her before.

The Feng family.

Feng Lan, Feng Qingxue, and Xiao Huang'er were making pastries in the courtyard.

"Grandma, this is the best pastry I've ever eaten. I'm sure Mother will love it too."

"Eat more if you like it," Feng Lan said with a smile.

Xuanwu, standing nearby, nodded hurriedly: "This is the best pastry I've ever eaten. Mistress, you must make more, so we can go to the God Clan in a while... Waaah!"

Before Xuanwu could finish speaking, Xiaohuang'er covered his mouth and gave him a warning look. Only then did Xuanwu realize that he had almost let something slip.

But Feng Lan and Feng Qingxue weren't stupid; they naturally understood the meaning behind the words.

Just as he was about to ask something, Ji Jiuying appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.

"Mother, Second Aunt."

"Jiu'er is back." Feng Lan quickly stood up.

Feng Qingxue also stepped forward. Although she and Feng Che had been married for several months, she was still not used to being called that by her.

"Little Ninth Sister".

Ji Jiuying smiled and nodded, her gaze falling on Xiao Huang'er and Xuanwu: "Have you two caused any trouble?"

"No, no, we've been very good. Grandma even taught us how to make pastries today, and they were delicious."

Feng Lan laughed and said, "Yes, with the two of them here, Qinglan is quite lively."

Thinking about leaving soon, Ji Jiuying lowered her eyes, then her gaze fell on Feng Qingxue: "Second Aunt, I feel like you've gained weight since I last saw you a few months ago, could it be...?"

Ji Jiuying looked at her with a smile, and Feng Qingxue's face flushed red instantly: "I'm already more than three months pregnant..."

Ji Jiuying raised an eyebrow. Her second uncle was so quick. As if remembering something, she took out a storage ring from her space and placed it in Feng Qingxue's hand.

"This is a gift I prepared for the baby."

Feng Qingxue and Feng Lan exchanged a glance, and thinking of what Xuanwu had just said, they had their answer.

"Then I will accept it on behalf of the baby."

Ji Jiuying then looked at Feng Lan: "Mother, I've been busy cultivating lately and haven't been able to spend much time with you. I'm sorry."

“When I was young, I always longed for the outside world too. I understand you,” Feng Lan said with a smile.

The group chatted for a long time, and soon it was time for dinner. At this time, Feng Che and his brothers came to Qinglan Courtyard. Although so much time had passed since the incident of the Feng family's ancestral precepts, Ji Jiuying still treated them with a lukewarm attitude.

That night.

Ji Jiuying and her daughter Feng Lan lay on the same bed, and Feng Lan looked at Ji Jiuying with deep reluctance in her eyes.

"Jiu'er, are you leaving?"

Ji Jiuying nodded slightly. Feng Lan's eyes reddened at the sight. She sniffed and said, "Jiu'er, be careful in everything when you get to the God Realm."

"Yes, Mother."

“Mother, we’ve been searching for so long but haven’t found any trace of Baili He. Have you ever considered that he might not be in the Heavenly Realm?”

Hearing Ji Jiuying's words, Feng Lan was slightly taken aback. In the past few months, she had used the connections of the Feng family and the Lan family, but she had not found any information about Baili He. Could it be that, as Jiu'er said, he was not in the Heavenly Domain? But if he was not in the Heavenly Domain, then on which continent would he be?

"Jiu'er, have you heard any news about him?"

Ji Jiuying nodded, then asked, "Mother, what if he has a fiancée? What will you do then?"

Feng Lan lowered her eyes and smiled, "I have thought about this question before. If it is really as Jiu'er said, then I will choose not to disturb you. Having Jiu'er in this life is enough."

Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuying already knew the answer in her heart.

“Mother, Baili He is a member of the God Clan. He has a fiancée in the God Clan, but they have not yet married. As for the reason, no one knows.”

Upon hearing that Baili He was a member of the divine race, Feng Lan stood there stunned. She recalled the first time she met him, and how her first impression of him was that he was an otherworldly immortal, whose innate noble aura she could never forget.

When she heard the second half of the sentence, her heart trembled involuntarily, and she gave a bitter smile.

"Mother, will you hate him?"

Feng Lan shook her head: "I don't hate him. On the contrary, I'm grateful to him."
