"Brother Tian," Dongfang Yu smiled and asked gently, "Do you not feel my warmth? It's really me. I'm not dead and I've come back to you now."
Hah!
Grand Lord Hong Lian raised his hand and forcefully pulled the woman in white into his arms. He held her tightly as he let out all of his longing for her over the past years in that one embrace.
"Yu'er, my yu'er, you're back. You've finally come back to me. How wonderful, so wonderful..."
At that moment, Grand Lord Hong Lian was so emotional that he could barely form a full sentence. To him, everything and everyone in the heaven and earth has disappeared. They were the only two people left in the world...
Gu Ruoyun rolled her shoulders. Her clear and cold gaze was filled with joy as well.
As it turned out, the woman who had slain the black dragon a while ago was indeed her mother, Dongfang Yu. Unfortunately, Dongfang Yu had left too quickly back then so she had not managed to say a thing...
"Lady Gu, isn't that the cultivator who had slain the black dragon?" Feng Yuqing clearly recognized the woman and looked at Gu Ruoyun in shock.
Is this powerful woman her mother?
"Brother Tian, is this little girl our daughter?" Dongfang Yu wiggled out of the man's embrace before her gentle gaze turned towards Gu Ruoyun.
When their eyes met, a surge of connection rushed through her blood. It was a feeling which gave her a huge urge to pull the girl into her arms and shower her with affection.
Grand Lord Hong Lian was staring dazedly at Dongfang Yu's incomparably beautiful face. His eyes were following her every move and he did not even hear her question. He looked like a lovestruck fool who had fallen for someone for the first time. He could only see her and her alone.
"Father," Gu Ruoyun chuckled humorously, "Mother is back now. If you're going to stare at her, go to the bedroom tonight and stare at her as much as you want. Let's settle the matter at hand first before we talk."
Upon hearing Gu Ruoyun's remark, Grand Lord Hong Lian finally returned to his senses and laughed, "Little girl, you're actually making fun of your father. Ah, that's right. Yu'er, she's our daughter, Gu Ruoyun. We also have a son but unfortunately, he is not here."
Grand Lord Hong Lian sighed when he thought about Gu Shengxiao who was currently not by his side. His voice filled with exasperation.
Our family is reunited but he's the only one who isn't here!
"Brother Tian," Dongfang Yu looked around Wind Valley which was now decked in red. She then chuckled softly and said, "I heard that you're getting married to the Eldest Lady of Wind Valley, Feng Xiaoxiao. Is this true? Looks like you've fallen in love with another woman so quickly in my absence."
Dongfang Yu's voice carried a hint of rebuke yet her eyes were filled with joy as she asked her question with a forced smile.
Upon hearing this, Grand Lord Hong Lian was immediately plunged into a panic. He was so anxious that sweat began rolling down his forehead as he hurriedly clarified, "Yu'er, let me explain, this had nothing to do with me. I had never agreed to marry Feng Xiaoxiao, she had done this all on her own. I exist only to search for you in this lifetime, other women are not fit to hold my gaze."
It was true, he really never promised Feng Xiaoxiao to marry her.
Even when he had pretended to be under the control of her glamor spell, he had never said anything like that.
Feng Xiaoxiao had assumed that Grand Lord Hong Lian had lost his ability to think so she made the decision to organize this wedding which will soon become the laughing stock of First City.
"Hehe," sniggered Dongfang Yu. "Brother Tian, why are you so tense? I wasn't blaming you, I'm only angry that someone else... Had taken advantage of my absence and coveted you. She's really digging her own grave!"Geez Gu Tian, you make it sound like your son kinda just popped out of nowhere, and like your wife wasn't even aware that she even had the baby. ( ̄  ̄|||) Although, it's kinda cute that he's kinda reduced into this pile of goop in front of the woman he loves. :3
