Nangong Jiu carefully told his family the details of the battle with Qiongqi.
Nangong Bayi jumped three feet high.
"Great! The beast has been eliminated, and the high priest is dead. The mess left behind will take them a while to clean up."
Xiang Ning took out Zhu Huai's inner elixir from her storage ring and handed it to Nangong Jiu.
"Zhu Huai's inner elixir is too high a level for us to refine, so it's better to give it to you. Refining it will be of great help in improving your cultivation."
"Thank you, Daddy and Mommy. I will also wait until my cultivation is more consolidated before refining it."
Xiang Ning nodded and asked, "What are your plans next?"
"Now that there are no more annoying people causing trouble, I want to rest for a while, spend time with my family in Dongling, and spend time with you. I can talk about other things later."
"Well, you've been practicing since you were a child, and you're really tired. So now, are you going back to the heavens with us or back to Dongling?"
"We've been in the Demon Realm for so long, I guess my parents have already returned to Dongling Capital. I haven't seen them for a few months, so let's go back to Dongling first."
"Okay, then you go back to Dongling first. We'll go back and arrange things at the mansion, and then we'll pick you up in Dongling, or you can come up by yourself."
"good!"
Little Wang Xiaoxing looked at Nangong Jiu pitifully.
"Your Majesty, what about us?"
Nangong Jiu scratched his head and said, "Whether you follow me or return to heaven, it's up to you to decide.
By the way, when you first came down, what did the higher-ups tell you?"
"You told us to protect you and wait for you to achieve enlightenment before returning to heaven together. You haven't achieved enlightenment yet, have you?"
"Of course not!"
"Then we must follow Your Majesty!"
Little Wang Xiaoxing happily high-fived and hugged Nangong Jiu, then stood behind him.
Everyone waved goodbye.
Xiang Ning took her family back to heaven, while Nangong Jiu took little Wang and Xiaoxing back to the capital of Dongling.
The flower hall of the general's mansion.
In the afternoon, the old man, Nangong Honglie and his son, Liu Hao and others were drinking tea and chatting in the flower hall.
Nangong Yunxue excitedly stepped into the flower hall.
"Grandfather, Daddy, Jiuer is coming back. She just sent me a message saying that she has gone to the demon world to seek revenge and is on her way back."
The old man stood up immediately and said, "Great, now no one can harm our Jiuer!
Jiuer's life has not been easy. Before she was even born, people were constantly trying to harm and plot against her. She was either practicing hard or busy with this and that. She never had a few days of comfort.
Now I don't have to be busy cultivating, no longer have to be on guard against this and that, I should be able to live a few days like a child, free from worries."
Nangong Honglie continued, "Yes, Jiuer has been shouldering various responsibilities since she was young. She has been worried about so much at such a young age. It's time for her to take a good rest.
When she comes back, we will spend a few days with her.
She likes to be lively, so our families get together every day to make her happy."
Liu Hao nodded in agreement: "The Prince's Mansion also counts as one. The family gathers for one day, and the whole cycle will pass for several days."
"That's a great idea! We rarely get together on weekdays, so it's a rare opportunity to get together. Let's take advantage of this opportunity and have a good time together."
Nangong Honglie called Chu Feng over and said, "Send a message to the Chu and Wang families, telling them that Jiuer is coming back, and ask them to come to the house for dinner.
Also, tell the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes that Jiuer likes. We're all family, so we don't need to be too particular about the dishes, as long as they're delicious and easy to make."
"The princess is coming back? That's great, I'll arrange it right away!" Chu Feng walked as fast as the wind and disappeared in the flower hall in a few steps.
Liu Hao called the secret guards and borrowed Nangong Honglie's words.
"Go to the Prince's Mansion and tell Xi Bo that I will invite the General's Mansion, the Chu Mansion, and the Wang Family to gather at my mansion the day after tomorrow.
Ask him to prepare a few more dishes that the princess likes. They are all family, so they don’t need to be too particular. Just delicious and easy-to-make home-cooked dishes will do."
The secret guard responded and left to do it.
The Chu family got the news and arrived the fastest.
General Chu was still at the gate of the general's mansion when he started shouting, "Jiu'er is back?"
The doorman came forward and said, "Please come in, old man. The princess will be back today, but she doesn't seem to have arrived yet."
General Chu led his family into the mansion happily.
Chu Xia's two children, Xiaoyang and Xiaoyue, were familiar with the route and rushed to the front: "Ninth Sister, Ninth Sister..."
Hearing the call, Xiaokang Xiaole brought Nangong Bo and Nangong Yuying out: "Brother Xiaoyang, Sister Xiaoyue, my sister hasn't arrived yet, we will play with you."
"Okay, okay..."
The adults who came out to greet them looked at the children playing together and said: "Xiao Kang and Xiao Le know how to entertain guests."
Chu Ruoyan greeted General Chu: "Dad, you are here!"
"Since Jiu'er is back, of course we have to come. It's been seven months since we last saw her. I miss her so much."
"Now that you mention it, it's true. I've been dreaming about her these past two days."
The two families entered the flower hall and took their seats in a lively atmosphere.
Not long after, Chu Xi and his wife also arrived: "My parents have gone to visit relatives with the children, so it's just the two of us at the mansion.
When we heard Jiuer was coming back, we hurried over."
Nangong Jiu, who everyone is talking about, is currently in the military tent at the northern border, chatting and laughing with Nangong Yunzhan.
"Uncle, your place is still the best. Every time I come here, they have roasted rabbit. It's so fragrant and delicious."
Nangong Yunzhan narrowed his eyes and smiled: "You sent me a message before you went to the Demon Realm, and I prepared it for you. I didn't know when you would come back, so I kept the rabbits I caught. Who knew it would take so long to raise them."
"We can only blame that old monster, the high priest. He had no moral principles and brought out the world-suppressing beast, Qiongqi, to deal with us, which is why we spent some effort.
You know, one day up there is one year on earth, so it took us about an hour there, and a month here, which is normal."
Nangong Yunzhan asked, "Is everything going well in the Demon Realm?"
"It went very smoothly. We beat them to a pulp!"
Nangong Yunzhan smiled and said, "Then you guys eat, I'll go clean up and leave."
After an incense stick of time, Nangong Jiu and Xiao Wang Xiaoxing took Nangong Yunzhan out of the military camp and headed for the capital.
Soon, a group of people appeared in the front yard of the general's mansion.
Nangong Jiu looked at the little guys running around the yard and shouted, "Xiaokang and Xiaole, we're back!"
Hearing the sound, everyone came out to greet them.
"Jiuer is back!"
Nangong Jiu cheered and rushed towards everyone present. After getting intimate with each one, he asked curiously, "Why is it such a coincidence that everyone is here today?"
Nangong Yunxue explained with a smile: "It's not a coincidence, I received a message that you were coming back, so I specially invited them to get together."
Liu Hao also nodded in confirmation: "Not only that, our families rarely get together, so we're getting together these few days to have a good time."
Nangong Jiu's eyes lit up: "So, how many days do we have to feast?"
