When Dongfang Yue saw her father arrive, she burst into tears of joy, "Father, you've finally come! I almost didn't get to see you again."
Although Qin Feng, Leng Yuexi, and Ao Ling had already guessed, they were relieved to hear Dongfang Yue's words.
The person who came was the head of the Dongfang family, named Dongfang Zhengyu, who was also Dongfang Yue's father.
Dongfang Zhengyu was very anxious, but he breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that his daughter was alright.
His tense face relaxed, revealing his fatigue.
It seems he traveled day and night, rushing here without stopping for a moment.
Dongfang Zhengyu sped up, flashed in front of Dongfang Yue, grabbed her wrists with both hands, and examined them seriously.
He was only truly relieved after confirming that Dongfang Yue was alright.
This is his precious darling; he would be heartbroken if it were lost even in the slightest.
When Dongfang Yue saw her father, she thought she should act cute and coquettish to seek comfort and at the same time hope to avoid punishment.
Little did she know, before she could make a move, Dongfang Zhengyu preemptively struck, his face hardening, his tone stern, and he rebuked her:
"Yue'er, you're being ridiculous! How dare you run away from home with your cultivation level? And you even traveled so far across several immortal realms! Are you out of your mind?"
What will your father and mother do if something happens to you?
Hmph, once you get back, you'd better stay home and be grounded for a few years to reflect on your actions.
And you, Dongmei, I told you to watch over the young lady, but you ran away with her. You too shall be punished.”
What could Dongmei say? Even though she felt wronged, she could only agree. This time it was really too dangerous. If it weren't for Qin Feng and the others, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
When Dongfang Yue heard her father's words, she felt as if the sky had fallen. Being confined to the house was worse than being killed.
She pouted and started to cry.
"Father, don't you love your daughter anymore? I just escaped death, and instead of comforting me, you punish me. I might as well be dead."
Looking at his beloved daughter, whose face was streaked with tears, and remembering that she had just escaped danger, Dongfang Zhengyu felt a pang of pity and said helplessly:
"Alright, we'll talk about this later. Go back and let your mother punish you."
"Tell me, what exactly happened? Who dares to be so bold as to touch my daughter, Dongfang Zhengyu? Humph!"
Dongfang Yue then recounted what had happened after she left home.
"To be honest, my running away from home this time is also related to you, Father. If you hadn't insisted on marrying me off to Sima Jie, I wouldn't have run away."
Dongfang Zhengyu frowned and said:
"The Dongfang family and the Sima family have always been on good terms. If you can arrange a marriage between yourself and Sima Jie..."
Our two families have a much stronger relationship, but why are you so disgusted with Sima Jie?
Dongfang Yue pouted and said, "I only met Sima Jie once not long ago, and he already wants to marry me. I always feel that he has ulterior motives."
Dongfang Zhengyu said irritably, "What's wrong with that? My daughter is so beautiful, if he's interested in her, it just means he has good taste."
Dongfang Yue said seriously, "Father, a cultivator's intuition cannot be ignored. This means that the two of us are not suitable."
Ao Ling raised an eyebrow, feeling that these words sounded somewhat familiar.
Qin Feng and Leng Yuexi exchanged bewildered glances, realizing that Dongfang Yue had run away from her arranged marriage.
Dongfang Zhengyu assumed Dongfang Yue was making excuses again and waved his hand, saying:
"Alright, since you don't want to, let's not talk about it anymore. I won't force you when we get back. Let's continue discussing what happened next."
Dongfang Yue continued, saying:
"After leaving the Purple Origin Immortal Realm, we went to the nearest Fuze Immortal Realm."
They didn't encounter any danger, after all, the reputation of the Dongfang family was still quite effective in the Fuze Immortal Realm.
Worried that someone might tell my father, I ran further away and went to the Wild Immortal Realm.
Now the Dongfang family's reputation is no longer effective; some people have started targeting us because of our generous spending.
I brought a lot of life-saving items from home, so there was no danger.
Later, I went to the Moon Palace, and somehow I was targeted. We fought and ran, and eventually arrived at the Netherworld.
Everything was fine at first, but unfortunately, it didn't last long. We were targeted by a force here called the Blood Shadow Sect, who wanted to capture me and Sister Dongmei and take us back.
I heard their methods are extremely cruel. If it weren't for Qin Feng, Ling'er, and Sister Yuexi, Father, you might not be seeing me again.
My daughter clearly didn't do anything to them, so why are they targeting me?
Dongfang Yue recalled the past and felt extremely wronged. What had she done to deserve this?
Listening to his daughter's story, Dongfang Zhengyu sighed:
"It's because your father has protected you too well. The outside world isn't as wonderful as it seems."
You didn't provoke anyone; you're just too weak for anyone to bully. Go back and train hard, and once you're stronger, no one will dare to bully you.
Dongfang Zhengyu sized up Qin Feng, Leng Yuexi, and Ao Ling, noticing their extraordinary demeanor and the unfathomable nature of them.
Qin Feng and the other two met his gaze, their expressions calm.
This Dongfang Zhengyu is likely beyond the realm of Immortal Kings. They have seen far too many powerful figures, so they are naturally not surprised.
Dongfang Zhengyu solemnly bowed to Qin Feng and the other two to express his gratitude, his attitude serious.
"Thank you three young friends for saving my daughter. I owe you a favor, and I will do my best to help you in the future."
Qin Feng and his two companions returned the greeting with clasped hands.
"You're too kind, senior. It was just something I did as a favor."
Dongfang Yue remembered Qin Feng's earlier words and her own promise to them, and interjected:
"Father, Qin Feng and his group are interested in Purple Origin Crystals. I promised them I would reward them handsomely. Could you give them some?"
Dongfang Zhengyu's expression changed, as if he was in a difficult position.
Dongfang Yue immediately changed her mind, "A few dollars is fine, and then we can compensate with other things."
