Chapter 1974 - Meet Mother-In-Law   

Xia Hongzhu was more decisive than Han Fei had imagined.

If it were a normal person who slept for a hundred thousand years and woke up to hear this news, he would probably be stunned. But Xia Hongzhu was different. After seeing these kings, she directly ordered, “All kings, retreat. Don’t spread the news that I’ve woken up.”

“Yes, my queen.”

After the kings retreated, Xia Hongzhu looked at Li Qingdi. “Are you the only one who has advanced to the Sky Opening realm?”

Li Qingdi nodded slightly. “Yes, there is another person who may enter the sky opening realm within a thousand years.”

Xia Hongzhu looked at Chun Huangdian. “Is this still the Raging Sea?”

Chun Huangdian: “Yes.”

Xia Hongzhu asked, “Since we have the two sky openers of you, what about the human race and the other races?”

As she spoke, Xia Hongzhu looked at Han Fei as if sizing him up.

Chun Huangdian said, “When you were in a deep sleep, the human race established the Thirty-Six Mystic Worlds… Among them, there were four people in the Sky Opening realm. Among them, Huang Jingyuan from the Soul Sealing World contacted the An family through some means. In order to obtain power from the An family, he was reduced to a lackey of the An family. As for the hundred demon race, who are Half-Mermen and Sea Demons, now they have a Sky Opener named Shi Pohuang. As for the undersea human race, they have a Sky Opener called Kong Shen. These two races can be considered allies and are against us and humans.”

Xia Hongzhu looked at Han Fei. “Which world are you from?”

Han Fei: “Master of the Yin-Yang World, Han Fei.”

Xia Hongzhu asked, “The master of a Heavenly Palace is only a peak-level Venerable?”

Han Fei said, “This is my avatar. I’m invincible under the Sky Opening Realm.”

Xia Hongzhu couldn’t help being a little speechless. Was Invincible so easy to talk about now?

Xia Hongzhu asked, “Are you saying that you are the strongest in the Sea Establishment realm?”

Han Fei grinned and said, “Not only the Sea Establishment realm. I’m the strongest in every realm I’ve passed.”

If Xia Hongzhu had a gentle personality, he would just be a little modest. But Xia Hongzhu was obviously not. She was a very decisive person. Because of her powerful combat power, it was not good for her to be modest.

Xia Hongzhu couldn’t help but chuckle. “Brother Dian, call a strong master of our race over to test his strength.”

But this time, Chun Huangdian didn’t move. Instead, he said indifferently, “There’s no need to try. What he said is true. He has only been in the Sea Establishment Realm for less than 30 years, but he is almost invincible in this realm.”

“Less than 30 years?”

Xia Hongzhu couldn’t help narrowing her eyes. In less than 30 years, he became the first in the Sea Establishment Realm in the Raging Sea? Were there too few strong masters in the Raging Sea, or was this person too heaven-defyingly strong?

She had married the wrong man. Was her daughter going to embark on the same path as her?

However, she also knew that there might be bad humans, but there must be good ones too. But no matter what, although she hadn’t done her duty as a mother, now that she had woken up, she would naturally make up for it.

Ignoring Chun Huangdian and Li Qingdi, Xia Hongzhu looked at Xia Xiaochan. “Xiaochan, although I haven’t done my duty as a mother, you are still my daughter. Do you think you can completely believe this human being?”

Xia Xiaochan didn’t expect the first talk between her and her mother to be like this. Her mother’s aura was really a bit too strong.

But Xia Xiaochan was not afraid. “I was born in the human world. I have been cultivating together with Han Fei, Luo Xiaobai, Zhang Xuanyu, and Le Renkuang since we were young, entering the sea together, hunting treasures together, adventuring together, and growing up together… I know what’s right and what’s wrong. Han Fei is the person I trust the most.”

Xia Hongzhu asked, “Is he more trustworthy than your Uncle Dian?”

Xia Xiaochan looked at Chun Huangdian and couldn’t help shaking her head. “No matter if he meant well or not, no matter how many things he did in secret, I don’t like his way of doing things, from the day he killed Han Fei.”

Chun Huangdian couldn’t help but chuckle. “Like I said, if I could choose again, I would still have chosen to kill him. At that time, the talent he showed was too weak. The more intimate you two are, the more he must die.”

Xia Xiaochan said angrily, “Why? After I return to the Merman Royal Family, won’t I still have to face the An family? You said as if the An family doesn’t know of my existence!”

Chun Huangdian sneered. “One of the powerful techniques of the An family is the curse technique. If they could get anything of yours from Han Fei, with your strength back then, even if I protected you in person, you wouldn’t have been able to escape death.”

Xia Xiaochan snorted. “No matter how you explain, I just don’t like you.”

Chun Huangdian shook his head indifferently. “I don’t need you liking me.”

Hearing this, Xia Hongzhu roughly understood the whole story. She said, “So, now that you’ve returned the god’s blood to me, are you leaving?”

Xia Xiaochan pursed her lips and nodded. “I don’t like this place and don’t want to stay here.”

Xia Hongzhu pondered for a moment. “Cultivate in seclusion with me for three days. If you still want to leave in three days, I won’t stop you.”

Han Fei frowned slightly. At this point, there was nothing he couldn’t say. He said, “Mother-in-law, I have something to say. Xiaochan transcended the tribulation and returned the god’s blood to you, causing her foundation to be greatly damaged. As for me, I have the Heaven Enlightenment Divine Technique. It might be able to repair her foundation. If possible, please let me heal her as soon as possible.”

“You know the Heaven Enlightenment Divine Technique? Are you related to the Human King?”

Han Fei said, “No, Mother-in-law. I’m not yet a hundred years old. How can I know the Human King?”

Xia Hongzhu thought for a moment and nodded slightly. “I see.”

Chun Huangdian looked at Han Fei. “If you call her ‘Mother-in-law’ again, your avatar won’t be able to return.”

Han Fei shrugged. “It’s none of your business. I’ll come to you for revenge sooner or later.”

Xia Xiaochan secretly pinched Han Fei, thinking to herself, Shut up. You can’t beat him now.

Xia Xiaochan said, “Wait for me for three days.”

Xia Hongzhu looked at the shattered Crystal Palace, and tapped the ground with the trident in her hand, and countless ice crystals rebuilt the Crystal Palace at a visible speed.

As Xia Hongzhu and Xia Xiaochan entered, the Crystal Palace closed.

Han Fei and Chun Huangdian hated each other, so Han Fei sat directly at the door of the Crystal Palace, not standing in midair with Chun Huangdian.

In fact, Han Fei was thinking about something else. From what Xia Hongzhu and Li Qingdi said, he could get a certain information, which was that Chun Huangdian had been a Sky Opener a hundred thousand years ago.

This made Han Fei speechless. If this guy had been cultivating for the last hundred thousand years, wouldn’t he have been able to become a monarch?

Han Fei knew that Chun Huangdian had been lying low for a hundred thousand years, but it was impossible for him to do nothing. If it were him, although he had to supply Xia Hongzhu with Immortal Qi, it wouldn’t limit his thinking, right?

Therefore, Han Fei guessed that since Xia Hongzhu had woken up, Chun Huangdian’s outbreak might be coming soon. At that time, he really suspected that no one on the human side could be his opponent. After all, this guy was too powerful.

…

Three days passed.

Han Fei sat cross-legged at the gate of the crystal palace, only to see the crystal palace suddenly open.

Han Fei quickly got up and saw Xia Xiaochan come out of the Crystal Palace with a swish. “Han Fei, my mother calls you in.”

Han Fei was surprised. “Me?”

Xia Xiaochan pushed Han Fei away with a smile. “Don’t be afraid. My mother is actually quite easy to talk to.”

Han Fei clearly felt that Xia Xiaochan was more lively, so he immediately smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll go, I’ll go.”

When Han Fei entered the Crystal Palace, he heard the sound of the door closing, but Xia Xiaochan didn’t follow him in, which meant that Xia Hongzhu wanted to talk to him alone.

Facing a mother-in-law in the Sky Opening realm, he was still a little restrained. At this moment, Xia Hongzhu was sitting on a big ice chair, holding the trident.

Seeing Han Fei approach, Xia Hongzhu said, “You can’t hide your personality from me. But I’m not a narrow-minded person. Since the Monarch Palace is about to open, I won’t make things difficult for you. Since you say that you are talented, I can believe you. I can even let Xiaochan go back with you now, but…”

Han Fei’s eyes glittered. “But what?”

Xia Hongzhu said, “If you survive the Monarch Palace, your original body should come to me.”

Han Fei thought for a moment. Does she want to see my original body because she wants to kill me? However, it’s more important to take Xia Xiaochan back first. She didn’t ask me to make a Great Dao oath. So what if I don’t come?

Han Fei immediately said, “No problem.”

Xia Hongzhu said, “Since you want to be with Xiaochan, I have to confirm that you have the strength to protect her. I won’t let you take her away from the Raging Sea rashly. Don’t you have a navigator? I don’t ask you to wipe out the An family, but I need you to gain a foothold in the outside world. Then if you still want to marry Xiaochan, I may consider marrying her to you.”

Han Fei was about to speak, when Xia Hongzhu said, “While you are still in the Raging Sea, I will watch your performance. Didn’t you say that you were first place in the Sea Establishment Realm? I’ll leave the Soul Sealing World to you.”

Han Fei thought for a moment. Although Xia Xiaochan had already transcended the tribulation and become a king, the outside world was really dangerous. It wouldn’t be a problem for him to go explore the outside world first. As for the Soul Sealing World, even if Xia Hongzhu didn’t mention them, he would still kill them. His growth required resources. It wasn’t appropriate to attack any world now. It would be good if he could take down the Soul Sealing World.

Han Fei asked, “Will she be willing to stay in the Raging Sea?”

Xia Hongzhu said, “I have my own arrangements, but you’ll meet again anyway. The premise is that you can survive the Monarch Palace and the An family.”

Han Fei thought for a moment. He hadn’t left the Raging Sea yet. There were still the Thirty-Six Heavenly Palaces to be unified, and the hundred demons and the undersea human race to be annihilated, so he was very busy. According to the resources of the Raging Sea, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to open the sky here. Then, he would have more say.

Han Fei thought that Xia Hongzhu’s confidence came from her strength. Although he couldn’t see her strength clearly, he knew that it couldn’t be low. Since she could escape from the An family, she must have some strength.

Besides, Xia Hongzhu’s environment was very different from the environment of the divine son he knew. It was only natural that she was very strong.

Han Fei thought to himself, Take Xia Xiaochan away first. Anyway, I won’t leave the Raging Sea soon.

Therefore, Han Fei gladly accepted it. “Okay, deal.”
