Ji Fengming rolled his eyes at Ghost Face, too lazy to bother with him:
What's a combat strength of 280? Even if his combat strength exceeded 10,000, it wouldn't affect him at all, since he doesn't plan to find a wife anyway.
When the group returned to Shending Peak, Ji Fengyao was still refining pills.
Shang Xiye was eager to see his new wife and wanted to see her as soon as possible, so he moved a grand chair to sit in front of the main hall and wait for her.
Upon hearing that Shang Xiye had returned, Wuying and Wuhen abandoned their stroll and rushed back to Shending Peak, kneeling in a military salute with tears in their eyes.
"Your subordinate, Wuying, greets Your Highness!"
"Your subordinate, Wuhen, greets Your Highness!"
On the way back, Ghost Face had already mentioned the two of them, but when Shang Xiye actually saw them, he couldn't help but smile.
He personally helped the two up, patted Wuying and Wuhen's arms, and said, "Your cultivation hasn't improved at all these days apart. Were you in a difficult situation before?"
Wuying and Wuhen scratched their heads sheepishly and briefly recounted their experiences, as well as those of Zhao Qinglian and Jun Xiandan.
Finally, he said, "This subordinate lacks aptitude and my cultivation progress is slow, which has disappointed Your Highness."
"I can't blame you for this. You protected my mother and father, and I have to thank you," Shang Xiye said sincerely.
"Your Highness is too kind to say that. Actually, we didn't do anything. It was all thanks to Lord Jun's men that we were able to help. If it were just Wuhen and me, we definitely wouldn't have been able to rescue the Empress Dowager and Lord Jun. We might still be scratching our heads in frustration on the Ice Crystal Continent right now!"
"Yes, Your Highness, we should thank Lord Jun. If it weren't for Lord Jun leading us through the teleportation array of the Ice Crystal Continent, Wuying and I might not have been able to arrive at the Danling Continent so quickly!"
Wuying and Wuhen both declined the offer.
They knew that Shang Xiye had always treated them like brothers, but in their hearts, Shang Xiye would always be their master.
They dared not accept a single word of thanks from their master!
After gesturing for everyone to take a chair and sit down, Shang Xiye said earnestly, "Let bygones be bygones, but right now, you really need to put in a lot of hard work to improve your cultivation."
Once things have calmed down a bit, I will personally prepare body-tempering and aptitude-enhancing pills for each of you. The process will be very painful. But no matter how painful it is, I hope you can grit your teeth and persevere.
If you truly cannot hold on, I will have no choice but to find a slightly more stable ordinary world and send you there to settle down.
It's not that I despise you, but the Danling Continent is not like the Great Zhao; the struggles in the cultivation world are a hundred times more brutal than those in the mortal world. I don't want you to die so easily after finally securing your chance to live.
"Your Highness, rest assured, even if it's excruciating pain, I can endure it. I will definitely cultivate diligently and live well, so that I can be worthy of the soldiers who gave us the chance to live," Wuhen said loudly, patting his chest.
"Me too, me too!" Xi Que quickly echoed, saying with great enthusiasm, "Miss had mentioned this to me before, but these days the Dan Sect has been busy with important matters, and Miss has been too busy to deal with them, so it has been delayed. Otherwise, we would have started refining it long ago."
Everyone chuckled at the magpie, and all looked at the young couple with amusement.
Cao Xiaosi smiled warmly and said, "Your Highness, Miss Xique is not exaggerating. We have finally come here and finally reunited. No one wants to be separated again, so we will all put in more effort."
