788 14.64 Last Violet Star – Death Valley (8)
Fan Yunya’s comeback had been a success. He was no longer a living corpse; he was now once again a human. He had also regained his previous cultivator strength.
Fan Yunya: Ascension Stage
Xue Yueguang: (Sealed) True Immortal/ (Current) Ascension Stage
They were both strong cultivators who engaged in combat with the Xie Clan and the Devil Race.
Infernal Region invaders were previously the responsibility of Xue Yueguang and Fan Yunya, but after what happened ten years ago when they were duped by Jin Baihua and Cao Rumin, their duties were forcibly suspended owing to a variety of reasons. This is the cause of Chun Hongyun-Jun’s rise to fame, which made even tiny towns aware of him. He gains his notoriety as a result of his travels throughout the realm in an effort to vanquish evil when in reality he is only looking for some traces left behind by his beloved.
Fan Yunya, who is aware of Hei Anjing’s lineage, greeted him according to their respective ranks rather than their familial ties. Hei Anjing instantly stops Uncle Fan because he is being unfair to the family’s elder members.
Then Hei Anjing said, “Uncle Fan, don’t forget about your wife’s standing; this one is simply a junior before the seniors of the family.”
Fan Yunya immediately switched from his formal and respectful tone to a casual and pleasant one, saying, “You’re correct, Wu’er. This Uncle is glad to meet you and your other half.”
Fan Yunya asked after Jin Shiyan, who the other three had mistakenly disregarded. “By the way, this young guy is?”
.....
As soon as someone finally acknowledged his existence, Jin Shiyan’s face lit up. It was his joy to meet the Senior. He introduced himself as Shiyan Jin, the husband of Bai Lili. Xue Yueguang was aware that his second sister had wed into the Bai Family because he had previously met her. One of the largest sects in the Mortal Realm is led by this large clan. The youngest princess, Bai Lili, and the current Sect Master, Bai Qiyin, are the two children of the Bai Couple.
Xue Yueguang exclaimed, “Oh! Are you Lili’s husband? I seem to recall Qiqi saying you are quite wealthy.”
Jin Shiyan is surprised to hear this response, yet he is currently without money. His wife and son received ownership of all of his enterprises after his death, and when he returned to life, Jin Baihua had already kidnapped him before he could report to his family. Except for Jin Baihua, who had kept him in this prison, no one is aware that he is still alive at this point.
“That... Hehe, I was captured by Baihua immediately after I came back to life so... All my money is with my wife and I am absolutely impoverished right now,” Jin Baihua replied with an innocent expression.
Pfft!
Entertained, Xue Yueguang remarked, “Funny kid! It’s okay. Just ask Wu’er to heal your meridians and golden core. After he is done with you, you will return to normal and be able to resume your cultivation.”
Fan Yunya stated, “This is dangerous, we need to go right away. I feel tons of the undead approaching this spot. Must be the one I’ve called.”
“They should arrive shortly,” said Chun Hongyun-Jun. When He suddenly controlled his blade and created a sizable hole above them.
Jin Shiyan asked, “Who?”
When they all turned to gaze upward, they noticed a medium-sized flying ship that had been hovering over the hole. They were being waved at by two individuals, and three children. Yun Fan and Zhi Yue are the ones who are most ecstatic.
“Master! Hei-gege! We come to get you up,” Yun Fan yelled.
Jin Shiyan had never before seen such a flying machine. He was looking at the flying ship with shining eyes when he suddenly became interested in it.
“What is that? I couldn’t believe such a big thing could fly,” Jin Shiyan exclaimed.
Hei Anjing said in a serious tone of voice, “It’s a flying ship covered with formations and runes plus with the best resources for creating immortal artifacts.”
“Wow~ are we riding it?” asked Jin Shiyan.
Jin Shiyan was so happy when Hei Anjing nodded that he wanted to give his brother-in-law a bear hug, but Chun Hongyun- Jun’s harsh look prevented him from doing so.
Eck!
Hei Anjing said, “A’Xia, don’t scare him.”
Yun Xiajie acted like a selfish little brat who doesn’t get enough attention by not responding and only hugging from behind. Hei Anjing couldn’t help but spoil him after seeing him behave in this manner, regardless of his age.
“We should return home,” Hei Anjing replied.
When Yun Xiajie hears the words “Okay. Go home together,” his lips begin to curl a little.
Suddenly, all four soared up to board the flying ship. Jin Shiyan floated alongside them after being transported by Chun Hongyun- Jun’s Qi among the group of five. The only person who couldn’t fly was one whose cultivation was barred. He has to be taken up to the flying ship by someone. A large group of the undead had gathered where they had just departed the area a short time after they had flown up to the ship.
They discovered that the undead was undoubtedly summoned by Fan Yunya’s growls while he was still an undead via the hole that Yun Xiajie had made. His rank is too high considering he was once a living corpse; consequently, low-level undead was forced to obey him. He may have summoned these zombies out of impulse, but he did so anyway. Fan Yunya was unsure of how to respond when he saw these many people approaching.
“It’s better if you don’t turn into an undead again in the future since you can be mistaken for an Undead King,” Xue Yueguang remarked. “Hiss~ to think this many came for you, sweetheart,” he said.
Fan Yunya bowed his head and murmured, “I... don’t know that many would come.”
Zhi Yue, who was observing things from the perspective of the system, was aware that Fan Yunya recently engaged in combat with the Lord God after having previously been an undead. He had also assessed his own power and was aware that, in Death Valley as a whole, he is the strongest zombie.
Zhi Yue remarked, “Actually, he might have been the Undead King before he was revived.”
As soon as they set foot on the ship, Xue Yueguang and Fan Yunya observed Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang with the kids. In order to serve his nephew and his other half, the former discovered that these two ought to be cultivators as well. The issue is that it was unable to recognize their cultivation strength and believed the duo to be much stronger than they appeared to be.
Now that the secret event concerning his husband’s rebirth had only been seen by a select few, and this man was not among them, he was startled for a brief period before vigilantly observing Zhi Yue.
Hei Anjing observed their conversation and even witnessed Zhi Yue’s other incident, in which his tongue slipped.
Sigh~
Hei Anjing reassured his uncle, “Uncle, don’t worry about him. He had the ability to monitor the scenes in a given region. He might not have been with us at that time, but he had undoubtedly seen what happened there. Just consider it as an ability of his.”
“Is he your subordinate, Wu’er?” demanded Xue Yueguang.
“He followed me down,” Hei Anjing confirmed.
Xue Yueguang didn’t feel at ease until he learned about this. Sometimes cultivators from the higher realm were born with special abilities. Hei Anjing came up with this justification for Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang’s existence as a result.
“I’m Zhi Yue, and this is my partner, Zhi Yang. It’s nice to meet you.”
Xue Yueguang said, “Nice to meet you. Are you two brothers?”
“Lovers. My Dao Companion,” Zhi Yang murmured after giving him an expressionless glance.
“Please pardon me, I’m sorry, but you two look a little alike,” Xue Yueguang replied.
“Hahaha, no worries, everyone says that,” Zhi Yue remarked.
He really is thinking, ‘It’s normal that we look alike. We are twin systems that our creator created
based on the Sun and Moon.’
Fan Yunya and Xue Yueguang abruptly appeared on the ship, and Yue Fan, who was often loud, became silent. When his parents abandoned him in the Fan Clan’s care as an infant, he was only three years old. At that point, the Fan Clan chose to send him to the Lan Zhuayun Sect, also known as the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect). He has become emotionally detached enough to not feel anything when he observes this couple, even when they both resemble him so much.
His response was seen by Yun Xing and Yun Anjie. Despite their suspicion that these two individuals might be Yun Fan’s parents, they didn’t press Yun Fan to identify them and instead said otherwise.
“A’Fan, it’s okay. They would undoubtedly recognize you,” Yun Xing muttered.
Yun Fan shook his head and kept his mouth shut while gazing at his feet.
“There are no parents who don’t love their children,” so Yun Anjie pats him on the back and says, “Don’t you miss them? They would absolutely love you. A’Xing is right. They would recognize you.”
“I hear from Brother Zhi Yue that... that they’ve been imprisoned underground for years. They’ve left me as a baby but... I’m grown up now. I’m terrified. What if... What if they don’t remember me anymore.”
Unknown to Yun Fan, Xue Yueguang and Fan Yunya had longed to notice him even before they rode on the ship. But they’ve failed their responsibilities as parents and don’t have the confidence that Yun Fan can accept them as his parents. Even then they couldn’t help but peek at him from a distance.
Hei Anjing was a little irritated by watching their interaction. His expression was emotionless, but a tiny flutter of an eyebrow caught Yun Xiajie’s attention, who had been staring at him practically nonstop ever since they had reunited. The latter observed this and grinned. Chun Hongyun-Jun couldn’t help but gaze lovingly at his beloved while kissing his eyes.
“Are these two always like this?” Xue Yueguang questioned.
Everyone on the ship, including the young disciples, nods their heads except for the main couple.
“Don’t worry, Senior Xue. I’m sure you’ll adjust to it quite quickly,” Zhi Yue chuckles.
Even a serious and mature man like Fan Yunya temporarily lost his sense of reason when he first heard this kind of comment, as seen by the twitching of his lips. Hei Anjing turned away from them after observing their response, flicked his finger lightly, and Yun Fan soared in the direction of Xue Yueguang and Fan Yunya.
AAAAAHHHH~
The Fan Yunya and Xue Yueguang couple embraced their kid despite their fear.
“Wu’er that’s dangerous! What if your cousin fell off the ship?” complains Xue Yueguang.
Hei Anjing drew his beloved into the deck rooms while disregarding the others who were left behind, saying, “I’m sure you would catch him. Anyway, it’s your business what would happen. Yang, Yue, you took care of the rest. I and A’Xia would be having our rest. Call us only after we reached the sect.”
“Please excuse these disciples as well,” Yun Anjie adds gently. “Let’s go and rest, A’Xing.”
Yun Xing looked over to Yun Fan, who was mute in his parents’ embrace, and muttered, “Um.”
Although Yun Fan might try to appear calm in front of his parents, his crimson ears reveal him.
“All right, Senior Brother Anye!” responded Yun Xing.
Jin Shiyan, who took note of the atmosphere, made the decision to enter with the kids. “Please bring me along,” he begged.
To avoid repeating themselves, Jin Shiyan, Yun Anjie, and Yun Xing also sneak inside and return to the ship’s interior after exchanging hello.
“There appear to be some new guests, so leave it to us to confront them,” said Zhi Yue.
Zhi Yang added, “We also need to assist with the cleanup. Pardon us.”
The troop of cultivators was ready to approach their flying ship while riding on their flying mounts, so Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang left the ship to halt them. The Hou Long Sect domesticated the fire salamander (Red Dragon Sect) as their flying mount.
The three-person family was abruptly left alone on the flying ship’s deck. The mood was uneasy and hushed around them.
“L-Let go of me!” said Yun Fan.
Yun Fan wasn’t used to his parents hugging him and shoving them away while having shaking eyes as he looked into their sad eyes filled with regret and guilt.
Red eyes indicated that Xue Yueguang was doing his best to hold back tears.
