After Xiao Yun and his number one brother in the world returned to the Demon King City with everyone who had come to the Fantasy Demon Realm for the first time, they headed straight to the Yun family.
The Yun family received the message in advance, and Yun Qinghong and Mu Yurou were already waiting in front of the gate.
Seeing Yun Qinghong and Mu Yurou looking forward to it from afar, Xiao Yun ran over and bowed heavily to the ground: "Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Number One Under Heaven also came over and bowed, saying, "Master Yun, Madam Yun, it's been a long time since we last met."
Yun Qinghong smiled and nodded, then reached out to help Xiao Yun up. He looked gently at the unfamiliar faces behind them and the dazzlingly beautiful Ice Palace girls. Just as he was about to ask, he heard Mu Yurou hurriedly ask, “Yun’er, where’s Che’er? Didn’t he come back with you? And the Little Demon Queen… has she returned to the palace?”
“Dad, Mom, about big brother and the Little Demon Queen…” Xiao Yun had already thought of the right words along the way, but facing Mu Yurou’s concerned eyes, he was still flustered. He swallowed silently and said in a relaxed tone, “Actually, big brother was injured before he came back, so after he came back, the Little Demon Queen took him to the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley to find the Golden Crow Saint to heal big brother’s injuries.”
“Ah!!” Mu Yurou screamed, her face full of anticipation and joy instantly turned into panic. She grabbed Xiao Yun’s arm and pinched her knuckles until they turned white: “Che’er…how could he be injured…is he seriously injured…who hurt him…how is he…”
"I...my eldest brother..." Xiao Yun was a very bad liar, especially when he was facing his closest and most respected mother. He was at a loss for a moment, stammering and unable to utter a complete sentence.
“Yurou, don’t worry.” Yun Qinghong smiled and patted Mu Yurou’s shoulder. “You are really worried. Have you forgotten that Che’er not only has great medical skills, but also has an extraordinary physique. He can recover quickly from serious injuries. Even if he is seriously injured this time, hasn’t the Little Demon Queen personally taken him to the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley? With the power of the Golden Crow Saint, no matter how serious the injury is, he will definitely recover safely.”
"Right, right, right!" Xiao Yun nodded hurriedly. "Although Big Brother's injury this time is... a little serious, he will definitely get better soon after he reaches the Golden Crow Saint, so Mom doesn't need to worry at all. Maybe Big Brother will come back safely tomorrow."
Yun Qinghong's words finally calmed Mu Yurou's flustered heart a little: "Yes... Golden Crow Saint God values Che'er so much, he will definitely not be stingy with his divine power, Che'er will definitely be safe."
“Haha, of course.” Yun Qinghong smiled and nodded, but at the same time, a hint of heaviness flashed in the depths of his eyes.
He was well aware of Yun Che’s extraordinary recovery ability… but this time, he was so injured that he didn’t even have time to return home, so he went straight to the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley.
The injury he received this time must have been extremely dangerous...
What exactly happened over at Tianxuan Continent?
"Oh right! Dad, Mom, I found Grandpa in Tianxuan Continent."
Xiao Yun quickly came to Xiao Lie's side, helped him walk forward, and said to Yun Qinghong and Mu Yurou: "He is my biological grandfather, and it was my grandfather who raised my eldest brother. Grandpa, these are my parents in the Illusory Demon Realm. They have raised me for more than 20 years and treated me as their own. In my heart, I have always regarded them as my biological parents."
Xiao Lie looked at them, then bowed slightly and said, "Excuse me for bothering you two. I, Xiao Lie, will never be able to repay you for your kindness in raising Yun'er."
Xiao Lie's voice fell, but there was no response for a long time. The moment Xiao Yun revealed his identity, Yun Qinghong's whole body trembled, and the whole person froze there as if petrified, staring at him blankly with his eyes trembling, and then even his body trembled slightly.
"Dad?" Xiao Yun looked at Yun Qinghong doubtfully, who seemed to have suddenly lost his soul.
Plop!!
Yun Qinghong knelt heavily on the ground, in front of Xiao Lie.
"Dad!" Xiao Yun was shocked.
"Ah! The... the head of the family!" All the elders and disciples of the Yun family in the back were also shocked.
Xiao Lie was so shocked that he took a half step back, then quickly reached out to help him up: "This... what are you doing... this is unacceptable!"
But he tried his best, but Yun Qinghong just knelt there, not moving an inch. Beside him, Mu Yurou also knelt down with him, tears in her eyes.
“Senior Xiao…” Yun Qinghong said as tears welled up in his tiger eyes. “I, Yun Qinghong, am so sorry for you… It was me who caused Brother Xiao Ying to die young, and it was me who caused your family to be torn apart, and you have been separated for more than 20 years… And you not only have no hatred or resentment, but you also treated Che’er like your own flesh and blood, and raised him for more than ten years, so that my family can finally be reunited…”
“Even if I, Yun Qinghong, live ten lifetimes, I will never be able to atone for my guilt towards you, nor will I be able to repay your kindness…”
When he first heard from Yun Che that Xiao Ying had died more than 20 years ago, he was in agony. His endless gratitude and shame towards Xiao Ying had planted a deep knot in his heart. Now that he saw Xiao Lie, all the emotions that had been pent up in his heart burst out like a mountain torrent. The head of the Yun family, who was respected and admired by so many people, cried like a child in front of this frail old man.
Mu Yurou cried with him, she knew clearly the pain in his heart. Now in front of Xiao Ying's father, he could finally vent it out.
Xiao Lie's eyes also moistened. Opposite him was the head of the most powerful family in the Illusory Demon Realm, whose status was comparable to the Supreme Holy Land of the Profound Sky Continent. And such a person actually knelt down to an ordinary old man like him in front of everyone... This friendship was as heavy as ten thousand feet. He finally understood completely why his son Xiao Ying was willing to do that for him.
"Get up... get up quickly." Xiao Lie tried to help the two of them up again and again. He said with tears in his eyes, "What happened back then was never your fault, and you don't owe us anything. My son Xiao Ying died for friendship and loyalty, without any regrets, and I have never had any hatred towards you. Now, Yun'er and Che'er have grown up and achieved great success. All the past is gone, so why should we dwell on it?"
Not only did she not blame him or feel any resentment, but she also tried to persuade him not to suppress his anger. Yun Qinghong was overwhelmed with emotions, and for a moment, he burst into tears and kowtowed heavily to Xiao Lie.
The people of the Yun family at the back finally understood that the person Yun Qinghong was kneeling to was actually the one who raised Yun Che in the Profound Sky Continent. They stopped making a commotion for a moment, and everyone stood in awe.
“Senior Xiao,” Yun Qinghong said word by word, “Xiao Ying and I are brothers. Xiao Ying’s father is my father. My biological father was murdered by a traitor and passed away. I was unable to fulfill my filial duty. From now on, you are my father, Yun Qinghong, and I, Yun Qinghong, am your son… If I am unfilial, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!”
“Father, please accept my greetings.” Yun Qinghong looked solemn, and he and Mu Yurou bowed deeply together.
Although Yun Qinghong was much older than Xiao Lie in terms of age, there was no disharmony in this scene, and almost everyone present had tears in their eyes.
Xiao Lie was already in tears. He had no intention of rejecting Yun Qinghong. He accepted the couple's greetings and reached out to help them up: "Okay, good kids, get up quickly..."
This time, Yun Qinghong finally obeyed and was helped up by him.
"That's great!" Xiao Yun's nose was sour: "My father must be very happy and relieved if he is still alive... Oh, by the way, besides grandpa, I also have my aunt."
“Dad, Mom, this is my aunt, her name is Xiao Lingxi.” Xiao Yun pointed at Xiao Lingxi and introduced her.
“You are such a disrespectful kid. You actually address your elders by their names.” Yun Qinghong wiped away his tears, laughed and scolded Xiao Yun, then said to Xiao Lingxi in a gentle voice, “Miss Xiao, I often hear Che’er mention you. He has taken good care of you since you were a child. I am so grateful to him. From now on, you are my biological sister, Yun Qinghong. If anything happens, don’t be polite to me, your brother.”
Xiao Lingxi was extremely nervous when she first met Yun Che’s biological parents. She had just finally figured out how to greet them, but Yun Qinghong’s words “From now on, you are my, Yun Qinghong’s biological sister” completely stunned her. Her beautiful eyes widened, her heart was in turmoil, she didn’t know whether to say yes or no, she stammered and couldn’t utter a word.
A woman’s unique sense of touch allowed Mu Yurou to discern vague clues from Xiao Lingxi’s behavior. She smiled and walked forward, taking Xiao Lingxi’s hand affectionately. She then rolled her eyes at Yun Qinghong and said, “Look at you. She’s still a half-grown little girl, but you, an old man, come up and claim to be your brother or sister. You’re even treating her like an old girl.”
Looking at Xiao Lingxi, Mu Yurou's face suddenly became warm: "Lingxi, don't worry about him. From now on, just treat this place as your home. If you need anything, just tell me, don't be shy. As for the address, if you like to call me sister, then call me sister. If you like to call me aunt, then call me aunt. There's no need to follow the way men do."
Yun Qinghong was completely confused by Mu Yurou's stare and had no choice but to keep silent.
“Yes… Uncle… Auntie.” Xiao Lingxi became even more nervous as Yun Che’s mother held her hand, and she confusedly called out the title “Auntie”.
This title also made Mu Yurou smile. At this moment, her eyes suddenly caught a girl. She was standing there quietly. Her profound energy was quite weak, but her whole body exuded an indescribable gentleness and nobility. This nobility was definitely not something that could be cultivated by an ordinary family. Looking at all the women she had met in this life, she only had such a feeling in the Little Demon Queen.
Coming to this strange world for the first time, coming to the Yun family for the first time, everyone was more or less nervous and reserved. Only she was as peaceful as a dream, as elegant as a painting.
"Who is this girl?" Mu Yurou was distracted for a moment and asked directly.
“Hehe,” Number Seven Under Heaven came up and said with a smile, “Dad, Mom, weren’t you always talking about that princess daughter-in-law you’d never met? Now she’s standing right in front of you.”
"Ah... Could it be that she is..." Mu Yurou screamed in shock, and Yun Qinghong's gaze suddenly fell on Cangyue, with a flash of amazement in his eyes.
Cang Yue stepped forward and bowed, "Daughter-in-law Cang Yue, greets parents."
Finally seeing the daughter-in-law she had been talking about day and night, Mu Yurou hurriedly stepped forward to help Cangyue up, looking at her again and again, and was so excited that she didn't know what to do: "Good child... Look at me, as a mother, I even forgot to prepare a gift for meeting..."
"Just make up for the meeting gift. Mother, I have a secret to tell you." Seventh Under Heaven said with a sweet smile: "Sister-in-law is no longer a princess now, but the empress of Cang Yue Country. She is well-known throughout the Tianxuan Continent. She is so powerful."
“Hahahaha!” Yun Qinghong laughed loudly and sighed sincerely: “As expected, she is the girl that Che’er has chosen. Che’er is really blessed.”
"We, your parents, were unable to be present on your wedding day... child, we really wronged you." Mu Yurou looked at Cangyue and said lovingly. The more she looked at him, the more she felt that he was one in a million, even rarer in heaven.
Cang Yue shook her head gently: "It is my life's blessing to marry you, my husband. How can I feel wronged? Today I finally got to see my parents, and I have fulfilled a big wish. From now on, I will serve you well with my husband."
"What a good kid." Mu Yurou's eyes were filled with tears of joy, but she did not forget that there were other guests. She looked at the women of Bingyun behind her. Even with her experience, she had never seen so many beautiful women with outstanding temperaments at once. At a glance, she was dazzled. She hesitated and said, "Are these... all... Che'er's concubines?"
Although the number is a bit exaggerated. But since the wife is the emperor, it doesn't seem too exaggerated to find him thousands of concubines. Isn't it said that there are 3,000 beauties in the harem?
