Three days later, outside Demon Breath City, Song Yanran, having concluded her meeting in the Demon Realm, boarded her imperial carriage to return to the Central Region.
Jiang Haitian and Yu Xiyan also went along.
Since the Central Region borders the Dao Region and the group happened to be traveling the same way, they decided to travel together.
When Jiang Haitian set off, the entire Demon City was in an uproar.
Nearly a million people spontaneously came to see their father off early in the morning, crowding every street in the city.
When Jiang Haitian's ghost carriage appeared, everyone excitedly erupted in cheers.
"Father, may you rest in peace."
"Father, my father!!!"
"Wow……"
A large number of wild sons cried their hearts out and kept chasing after the ghost carriage in that direction.
"When parting blossoms, new branches stretch out."
Like winter passing and spring returning, we wait for the snow in our hearts to melt.
Every time you leave home, you carry with you the longing for what lies beyond.
The city's prosperity obscured the crescent moon.
Some even organized bands, singing songs their fathers taught them, and personally saw their fathers off with tears in their eyes.
The scene was incredibly chaotic; wherever Jiang Haitian's ghost carriage passed, countless people cried until they almost fainted.
The kindness of my father is endless, and can never be fully expressed.
Jiang Haitian's forehead was covered in black lines in response.
Is this a farewell or a funeral?
As the procession marched towards the city gate, Ling Yuxuan, covered in bandages, chased after the ghost carriage, shouting:
"Father, please take good care of my junior sister along the way. Whatever she wants to eat or drink, please try your best to satisfy her. You can put the bill on my tab for now."
My junior sister has lost a lot of weight in the past six months. It really breaks my heart to see her like this. I beg you, Father, please take good care of her. I will always remember your great kindness.
Sitting in the ghost carriage, Jiang Haitian scoffed at this, yanked back the curtain, and cursed:
"Useless trash, do I need you to teach me how to do things? Be a good boy and stay in the city to heal your father's injuries first. When I come back, I'll send you back to the Eastern Region."
Ling Yuxuan hurriedly said, "Father, could you please let my junior sister go back as well? If it's really not possible, I'll stay and save only my junior sister."
"Useless trash! You keep calling her 'Junior Sister' all the time, but look at how badly you're injured. Has your Junior Sister even glanced at you once?"
Ling Yuxuan immediately shook his head and argued, "Father, I won't allow you to say that about her. Actually, my junior sister definitely has feelings for me."
She didn't come to see me because she didn't want to embarrass me. I understand her good intentions; she's very good to me.
Jiang Haitian was taken aback and didn't know how to respond.
Is this what a real simp looks like?
I can't understand the thought process of this kind of person.
"So, Father, if it's possible, please save her! I beg you, Father, you are all-powerful, you must have a way."
"As long as my junior sister can leave the Demon Realm, I will stay by your side and take care of you for the rest of my life, okay, Father?"
Jiang Haitian, unable to bear it any longer, retorted directly, "Why did I ever take in such a useless son like you?"
Have you ever considered that your junior sister doesn't even have feelings for you? You're just being delusional!
Ling Yuxuan nodded: "Father is right, there is indeed another person in Junior Sister's heart."
But it doesn't matter. I'll wait, until the day she changes her mind and is willing to look at me properly.
I believe time will prove everything; my junior sister will then realize how good I am.
"Useless trash, get the hell out of here! I regret wasting my time with you. How can there be such an idiot like you!"
After speaking, Jiang Haitian immediately steered the ghost carriage and sped away.
"Father, I'm entrusting my junior sister to you. I'm leaving everything to you, Father—"
Ling Yuxuan chased after it for more than ten steps, but finally stumbled and fell to the ground. He watched the carriage drive away, opened his palms, and burst into tears.
...
The large group headed towards the Dao Domain.
Around noon, the group stopped in a field on the outskirts of town for a short rest.
Inside the luxurious imperial carriage, Song Yanran personally cut a fruit platter and handed it to her personal guard, Xu Qingran: "Take these spiritual fruits to Vice-Commander Jiang."
Xu Qingran looked puzzled: "Your Majesty, why send a fruit platter to that kind of person? You prepared it yourself and never give it away."
Song Yanran lay on her side on the cot and smiled slightly: "Don't ask any more questions, just send it over."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Xu Qingran accepted the order and left.
Outside the ghost carriage, Jiang Haitian was intently simmering a bowl of soup.
Seeing this, the wild son standing nearby immediately said in a fawning tone, "Father? I've never seen you cook before. Let your son do this kind of work."
Jiang Haitian waved his hand dismissively: "Can you cook?"
"I know how to make boiled noodles. You just blanch the noodles in boiling water, sprinkle them with salt and chopped green onions, and drizzle with a little aged vinegar. The taste is amazing..."
"Alright, if you don't know how to do it, don't point fingers. Just stand aside and don't get in my way."
At this moment, a delicate and refreshing fragrance wafted from the soup, instantly filling the wilderness.
Jiang Haitian carefully controlled the heat, afraid that if he overlooked any step, the soup would be completely ruined.
Not far away, Yu Xiyan was also attracted by the fragrant aroma.
Just smelling it makes me feel refreshed.
This was a fragrance she had never smelled before; it was incredibly refreshing and made her mouth water.
Looking in the direction of the fragrance, I realized it was coming from the Jianghaitian direction, which was several dozen steps away.
Yu Xiyan hesitated for a moment, and was just about to approach Jiang Haitian to ask for a bowl when she saw Xu Qingran walk up to him.
Xu Qingran was also tempted by the aroma, but she still forced herself to hand the fruit plate to Jiang Haitian: "Vice-Commander Jiang, His Majesty asked me to give this to you."
