“Divine Phoenix Country? Why are we going there!” Xiao Lingxi’s expression became even more anxious, because for all the citizens of Cangfeng, this was a nightmare-like name. She tightly grasped Yun Che’s hand and said, “Three years ago, you were in Divine Phoenix Country. How could… How could…”
“Don’t worry,” Yun Che said confidently, “It wasn’t the Divine Phoenix Empire that caused me trouble three years ago. On the contrary, the Divine Phoenix Empire couldn’t do anything to me three years ago, and it’s even more impossible now.”
“No… No way! I don’t want you to do anything dangerous again!” Xiao Lingxi shook her head firmly and looked at Xiao Lie for help: “Dad, please stop Xiao Che. He’s going to do something dangerous again.”
Xiao Lie stared directly at Yun Che. As his mentality changed, his eyes became much clearer than before. He said slowly, “Che’er, you are so eager to go to the Divine Phoenix Empire. Are you asking them to withdraw their troops?”
“Yes!” Yun Che nodded. “As a little boy, I am a citizen of the Blue Wind Nation. As a big boy, I am the son-in-law of the Blue Wind Imperial Family. My homeland has been trampled upon and my father has been murdered. No matter what, I cannot remain silent. As long as the Divine Phoenix Nation is under my control, my Blue Wind will suffer one more day of disaster. Therefore, I must go to the Divine Phoenix Nation as soon as possible. The 200,000 Divine Phoenix Army in the east of the city is also full of strangeness. If I cannot find out the truth as soon as possible, I will not be able to rest easy.”
Xiao Lie nodded slowly, then smiled faintly: "No matter what, you must ensure your own safety. Even if it's for Lingxi and me... don't put yourself in danger again."
“Yes!” Yun Che nodded vigorously: “I will definitely do it.”
Xiao Lingxi suddenly became anxious: "Dad, you..."
"Lingxi, we can't stop him." Xiao Lie laughed and said sadly: "Che'er has grown up completely. The world he can now access is much bigger than what we can see with our eyes. Moreover, he is not doing this for his own grudges, but for the entire Cangfeng Nation. If he can really save countless Cangfeng compatriots from danger, we can only be proud of it, so why would we stop him?"
“Dad…” Xiao Lie’s words melted Xiao Lingxi’s determination into weakness. She lowered her head and bit her lips softly, “But, I’m scared… I’m really scared…”
The Heavenly Sword Villa five years ago... The Ancient Mysterious Ark three years ago... Behind the two times of loss and recovery, there were two heavy blows that made her collapse. The changes in her state of mind over the years also made her more and more clear about what was the most important thing in her heart. Now that she was reunited with him, she only hoped that he would be safe and sound, without any more risks and hardships. Everything else... was not important.
“Aunt, don’t worry.” Yun Che gently consoled her, “Three years ago, I already made a slip of the tongue to you, and made you sad for three whole years. This time, I will definitely not make a slip of the tongue to you again… I will be back in a month at most, and even though I am going to the Divine Phoenix Country this time, there will definitely not be any substantial risks. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Xiao Yun.”
"Right, right, right!" Xiao Yun nodded, of course. "Big brother is super powerful now. No matter where he goes, it is difficult for him to be in danger. Moreover, big brother has a very magical profound boat that can travel through space in an instant. Even if there is any danger, big brother can escape immediately and no one can catch up with him. Therefore, I am completely relieved about big brother, and my aunt can also rest assured."
Xiao Yun was not deliberately helping Yun Che to comfort Xiao Lingxi, but rather he admired and trusted Yun Che from the bottom of his heart... After all, he was the one who brought the Ming Wang forces that covered the entire Illusory Demon Realm to a complete defeat and saved the Demon King Clan. The Ming Wang's scheming, power, and ambition were so terrifying that he almost replaced the Demon King Clan to dominate the Illusory Demon Realm, but because of Yun Che, he failed at the last minute and ended up being exterminated. There was also the Sun and Moon Divine Palace, which was famous in the Illusory Demon Realm. They came with great momentum, but were fooled around by Yun Che and almost had to flee...
Plus the ancient profound ark that can travel through space... Although Yun Che's strength is not top-notch, Xiao Yun firmly believes that in this world, it is definitely more difficult to take his life than to kill a peak emperor. What he needs to worry about is the people he targets or those who are his enemies.
“…” Xiao Lingxi bit her lips even tighter, holding onto Yun Che’s hand and unwilling to let go. After a long while, she finally raised her face and looked at Yun Che with her bright eyes: “Then… can you leave tomorrow? You just came back, and I didn’t even have time to take a good look at you… Oh, by the way, Xiao Yun and Xiao Qi are going to the back mountain to pay respect to their father tomorrow, and you can take them with you, so don’t leave today, okay?”
How could Yun Che refuse such a gentle request? He nodded gently: “Okay, then I’ll leave tomorrow… Well, I haven’t eaten the food cooked by my aunt for many years.”
“Hmm…” Xiao Lingxi smiled faintly. She looked quietly at the face so close to her. Her eyes and smile became blurry and infatuated.
Xiao Lie’s gaze had been fixed on Xiao Lingxi the entire time. Looking at her current appearance and the way she looked at Yun Che, he knitted his brows slightly, then immediately relaxed again, with a faint smile on his lips.
————————————
As night fell, a sumptuous dinner was served, and everyone was happy. Xiao Lie, who always had a hard time swallowing food, ate three bowls of rice, his face became more rosy, and he laughed more loudly than in the past three years. Perhaps, he never dared to hope that he could have a reunion dinner with his grandson at the same table.
After dinner, Yun Che called Xiao Yun and said, “Xiao Yun, come with me for a moment. I have something to tell you alone.”
Xiao Yun was pulled out of the courtyard by Yun Che. Seeing Yun Che’s serious expression, Xiao Yun asked nervously, “Brother, is it something important?”
Yun Che raised his hand and tapped his chin, then took a step closer and said in a low voice: “Actually, what I said this afternoon about Seventh Sister being pregnant… was false.”
Xiao Yun was stunned, and then he jumped up: "What! Fake... fake!?"
“Shh!! Keep your voice down!” Yun Che pressed Xiao Yun’s shoulders and said, “Of course I didn’t say that to trick you, but for Grandpa!”
“You’ve also seen Grandpa’s physical condition!” Yun Che’s face became solemn. “A person who has been cultivating Xuan for half his life has become like this in three years, only because he has long been determined to die! I’ve heard from some people in the Xiao Clan that Grandpa and Grandma had a very deep relationship. Grandma died of depression not long after giving birth to my aunt because of the death of Uncle Xiao… that is, your father. If Grandpa hadn’t been there to raise me and my aunt, he would have died with her. Later, as my aunt and I grew up, Grandpa’s mental state became increasingly depressed. At that time, I used revenge and the hope that you were still alive to support him… As a result, when the news of my death came three years ago, Grandpa completely developed the determination to die in the past three years. If it weren’t for my aunt, he might have committed suicide long ago.”
"Now that I'm back and you're back too, Grandpa is very happy and satisfied. But even so, the determination to die that has been lingering for three years is hard to eradicate. It has almost become a habit. Once his wish, which he has been looking forward to for many years, is fulfilled, he may feel more inclined to end his life and accompany grandma and his son. So, I had to make up the story that my seventh sister was pregnant to give Grandpa a huge surprise and hope."
Listening to Yun Che’s words, Xiao Yun quickly calmed down. He thought for a moment, nodded, and said with a worried look on his face, “Big Brother, what you said makes sense, but things like this can be easily exposed. Besides, deceiving Seventh Sister and Grandpa is… not good at all. They are so happy. If they knew it was fake, they would definitely… be very sad.”
“You don’t need to worry about this at all.” Yun Che smiled mysteriously, then stretched out his hand. In his palm were two nail-sized pills, one white and one red: “Take these two pills, take the red one yourself, and give the white one to Seventh Sister, and then… Seventh Sister will be pregnant after tonight.”
“Ah? Really…really?” Xiao Yun opened his mouth wide, stretched out his hand to take the pill from Yun Che’s hand, looked at it curiously, and said in astonishment: “There is such a magical medicine? Really…will it definitely work?”
“I can easily make a lot of Overlord Pills, not to mention this simple medicine for couples.” Yun Che said casually: “As long as your seventh sister is not having her period today, there will be absolutely no problem.”
"Hehe, of course I have no doubts about Big Brother's medical skills, that's great." Xiao Yun carefully held the red and white pills, then raised his head and asked, "Big Brother, what do you mean by 'menstrual period'?"
“…” Yun Che quickly recalled the complexion of Number Seven Under Heaven today and the pulse he had taken, and said, “This is medical terminology, you don’t need to know it. Anyway, as long as you and Seventh Sister take the two pills, there will be no problem.”
"Oh! I'll go right away!" Xiao Yun nodded, and just as he raised his leg, he retracted it, and said nervously: "But...but how should I tell Seventh Sister? If I tell her that the pregnancy is fake, she might be sad and angry, but if I don't tell her...I don't know how to tell her about the pill...I have never lied to Seventh Sister, this, this..."
Yun Che rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand, grabbed the white pill in Xiao Yun’s hand, jumped up on the spot, and shouted, “Seventh Sister!”
Number Seven Under Heaven in the courtyard turned around and said, "Brother Yun, what's the matter?"
Yun Che flicked his fingers, and the white pill flew towards Number Seven Under Heaven. “You’ve just arrived at Profound Sky Continent, and I’m afraid that the unfamiliar climate and water may affect the fetus in your belly, so I prescribed a pill to stabilize the pregnancy for you. Take it quickly.”
Number Seven Under Heaven took it, took a look at it, and ate it without thinking, saying with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Yun."
In the Illusory Demon Realm, Yun Che was known to everyone as a miracle doctor who could cure any disease. One of his medicines was worth a fortune, and even if she believed that there were ghosts in the world, she would not doubt that Yun Che was worthy of the medicine.
Yun Che landed lightly and said to Xiao Yun: “Okay, it’s solved.”
Xiao Yun smiled foolishly and embarrassedly, then quickly swallowed the red pill.
Yun Che looked at Xiao Yun and suddenly said, “I killed the leader of the 200,000 Divine Phoenix Army in the east of the city. Now that they have no leader, they should not act rashly. I cannot predict what the result will be after I go to the Divine Phoenix Country tomorrow, and the movements of the 200,000 Divine Phoenix Army are also unpredictable, but I cannot rule out the possibility that they will receive an order to attack Floating Cloud City… So, during this period of time, Floating Cloud City will rely on you and Seventh Sister to protect it. And if you don’t want to stain your hands with blood like me, then take Grandpa and Little Aunt away safely as soon as possible… Or, send me a message directly, saying that I have the Primordial Profound Ark and I can come back at any time.”
"Don't worry, big brother. No matter what, even if it costs my life, I will not let anything happen to grandpa, my aunt, and my seventh sister." Xiao Yun said firmly.
Yun Che turned around and looked towards the south, his eyes gradually becoming gloomy: Divine Phoenix Empire... Divine Phoenix Sect! Prepare to bear my wrath!
