The next few days.
Nangong Jiu, his master and his servant wandered through the streets and alleys of the capital and tasted all kinds of delicacies in the capital.
That night, several people returned to the general's mansion.
"Dear elders, during this time back in the capital, we have eaten and played a lot and had a very happy time.
Tomorrow, I am going to the heavens to take care of some things."
Nangong Honglie nodded: "If you have something to do, go ahead and do it. As long as you are fine, that's all that matters!"
"Well, don't worry, everyone. With my current level of cultivation, I can walk freely in the Three Realms. There is no danger."
The old man said with concern: "We are relieved that there is no danger. No matter where you are, just send us a message occasionally to let us know that you are well."
"I will!"
Nangong Jiu handed the sound transmission mirror to Nangong Yunxue.
"Once you go to heaven, the paper bird won't work anymore. Take this sound transmission mirror. If you have any questions, speak into the mirror and I'll be able to hear you in heaven."
Nangong Yunxue put away the sound transmission mirror and said, "Give our regards to your family in heaven and invite them to visit us when they are free."
"Okay!" Nangong Jiu nodded heavily.
"One day in heaven is one year on earth. This time I go there, I might only stay for a day or half a day.
Come, let me check for everyone before I can leave with peace of mind."
Nangong Jiu checked the health of the elders one by one, and only after confirming that there was no problem did he go back to his room to rest with peace of mind.
The next morning, he took little Wang and Xiaoxing and quietly left the general's mansion and went to heaven.
At the gate of Nangong Mansion.
Little Wang and Xiaoxing accompanied Nangong Jiu to the gate of Nangong Mansion, and then they went their separate ways.
The guard saw Nangong Jiu and quickly passed the news back to the main courtyard.
"The Empress is back, the Empress is back..."
The family, who were discussing something in the main courtyard, came out happily to greet them.
"Xiaojiu, you're back!"
"Daddy, Mommy, Brothers, I'm back!"
It was the first time since his reincarnation that Nangong Jiu returned home openly and cheered as he rushed towards his relatives.
The family hugged each other happily.
Passersby, upon seeing this, exclaimed excitedly, "We just heard this morning that the Empress had recovered her cultivation, causing a disturbance in the heavens and earth, and now in the afternoon we've seen the Empress herself!"
They gathered around and saluted: "Greetings, Empress!"
Nangong Jiu raised his hand slightly: "Everyone, please stand up!"
After a warm conversation, the family finally dispersed and returned home.
Go back to the flower hall and sit down.
Xiang Ning looked at Nangong Jiu and said, "Xiaojiu, the Jade Emperor sent a message saying that he would hold a homecoming banquet for you."
"Returning feast?"
"Yes, it means that you have successfully recovered 100% of your cultivation and are able to travel through the three realms, which is equivalent to returning."
Nangong Jiu frowned and said, "I should go see the Jade Emperor. As for this homecoming banquet, there's no need for that, right?"
"We can't refuse the Jade Emperor's kindness."
"But I haven't truly returned to heaven yet. Holding a homecoming banquet now is a bit... Never mind. Let's wait until I see him."
"Do you want to rest for a while before going, or go now?"
"Go now. It's the same if you come back and rest later."
Xiang Ning thought about it and nodded: "Okay, let's go, we'll go with you!"
Lingxiao Palace.
Xiang Ning brought her family to the Lingxiao Palace.
After saluting, Nangong Jiu stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking care of me and the Nangong family these days!"
The Jade Emperor looked at Nangong Jiu carefully and said, "I'm glad you're back!
During the war between gods and demons, your family made great contributions to protecting the heavens. You even sacrificed yourself to save countless lives in both the human and immortal worlds.
It's our responsibility to take care of you and your family!
Now that you have been reincarnated and restored to your cultivation, and are once again wandering the Three Realms, this is a great joy for us in heaven.
Therefore, I have decided to hold a homecoming banquet for you, inviting all the immortals to gather..."
Nangong Jiu thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!
But I haven't truly returned yet. Besides, as a member of the heavens, I have the responsibility to protect them. Your Majesty, there's no need to hold a grand return banquet for me."
The Jade Emperor waved his hand and said, "Don't refuse. This matter has been prepared long ago. We are just waiting for your return. The homecoming banquet will be held tonight.
Since the war between gods and demons, there hasn't been a banquet in heaven, so this is a good opportunity for everyone to get together."
The Jade Emperor had said so much, Nangong Jiu could no longer refuse, so he nodded and agreed: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty. We will go back first and come back later."
The Jade Emperor nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, go ahead."
Xiang Ning and her family left the Lingxiao Palace.
Nangong Jiu pointed in the direction of Tiandao's residence: "Dad, Mom, I still want to go see Tiandao, I have something to tell him."
Nangong Xuan quickly replied, "Is it something important? But Tiandao has already left."
"Left, when did it happen?"
"After you recover your cultivation."
Nangong Jiu said a little sadly: "He told me last time that he would leave, but I didn't expect him to leave so soon.
He saved me, and I haven't even had the chance to thank him properly."
Xiang Ning spoke out to comfort him, "Tian Dao, as the law of heaven, is everywhere. He will always be with you and protect you."
The family returned home.
The housekeeper had already ordered people to clean Nangong Jiu's Jiuru Residence again and again. When he saw the group coming back, he hurried forward to greet them.
"Young Master, your Jiuru Residence has been cleaned and decorated. If you need anything else, just let me know."
"Thanks a lot!"
Xiang Ning accompanied Nangong Jiu to Jiuruju: "Xiaojiu, take a look, if there is anything missing, just tell me."
Nangong Jiu looked around with red eyes: "Mother, this is already very good, everything is still the same as before.
When I was offering the sacrifice, I never imagined that I would be able to live in this Jiuruju again. I am very content! "
Xiang Ning embraced Nangong Jiu's small body: "It will be better in the future. Come up this time and stay a few more days."
Nangong Jiu smiled: "Mother, it's not possible to stay for a few days!
If I go back after the dinner, several months will have passed in the mortal world. As you know, I am at home in Dongling and I have an elderly great-grandfather.
They say one shouldn't travel far when one's parents are still alive, but I have elderly great-grandfathers around, so I can't travel far."
Xiang Ning patted her daughter's head with relief.
"Our Xiaojiu has always been a filial child. You must take good care of and accompany the elders, so that they will not be in vain in their love for you."
"Yes, I know! By the way, mother, before I left, they asked me to say hello to you on their behalf and asked you to go to Dongling when you are free."
"Okay, things in the mansion have been arranged almost completely. After the banquet, we will go back with you."
Nangong Jiu hugged his mother's neck and said, "Mom, you're the best! This way, we can spend more time together."
This time I go back and spend a few days with my family, then I plan to take Xiao Wang, Xiao Xing, and Qing Chen on a trip."
"Mom, do you want to come together?"
