“Kong You Yi? Who does he think he is?” Li Fei’s eyes flashed coldly as she narrowed them.
Kong You Yi could be considered as Li Fei’s senior brother. He was the only son of her master’s senior brother.
As soon as Li Fei arrived in the Heavenly Palace of the Floating Heaven, Kong You Yi had been trying to get close to her. Although he knew she was married and even had a child, it did not deter him at all. In his opinion, it was unlikely her husband was still alive. Even if her husband was still alive, he was confident and did not think her husband could compete with him at all.
“I’m just worried that Brother Ling Tian will suffer a loss.” Han Xue Nai smiled bitterly. Her forehead creased in worry as she said, “Sister Fei’er, although you have the support of the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor, he has the support of the Almighty Wind Celestial Emperor. Moreover, the Almighty Wind Celestial Emperor is the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor’s senior brother… Moreover, Kong You Yi is far stronger than us. Despite being less than 1,000 years old, he’s already a Celestial Emperor and has mastered all the profundities from the law of wind to the mastery stage…”
Upon hearing Han Xue Nai’s words, Li Fei’s expression turned grim.
Meanwhile, Duan Nian Tian said, “Mother, at most, we’ll just meet them outside. We don’t have to bring them back to the Heavenly Palace to meet the Heavenly Emperor.”
“Don’t have to bring them here?” Li Fei shook her head. “Impossible. Since your father is here, I naturally have to introduce him to master. After all, master has helped us too much…” Then, she continued to say in a solemn voice, “If Kong You Yi looks for trouble, I believe master won’t just watch and not do anything about it…”
In fact, Li Fei felt rather helpless when faced with Kong You Yi. Not only was she unable to defeat him, but her background was at most on par with his. He did not even fear her master, the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor.
After a while, Li Fei’s eyes suddenly brightened. “Tian Wu just informed me they’ve arrived in Nangu City…”
Duan Nian Tian and Han Xue Nai grew excited upon hearing these words. It had been too long since they had last seen Duan Ling Tian. Moreover, there were their family and friends as well.
“Let’s go!” Li Fei led Duan Nian Tian and Han Xue Nai out of her residence and left the Heavenly Palace.
Unbeknownst to the trio, a beautiful woman who was dressed in robes similar to that during the Tang Dynasty on earth was following them. She was none other than the subordinate of the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor whose strength was almost equal to a titled Celestial Emperor. She had been assigned to protect Li Fei and to prevent Li Fei from leaving the Floating Heaven.
As long as Li Fei remained in the Floating Heaven, she would be contactable through Communication Talismans. If she left the Floating Heaven, she would no longer be contactable. With that, the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor would not be able to track her whereabouts. For this reason, the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor was worried about Li Fei’s safety. Therefore, before Li Fei became strong enough to protect herself, she was prohibited from leaving the Floating Heaven.
The beautiful woman kept watch over Li Fei from a distance. Despite feeling suspicious, she had no plans of stopping Li Fei as long as Li Fei did not leave the Floating Heaven. “Young Miss rarely leaves the palace…. I wonder what happened…”
…
After leaving the Heavenly Palace of the Floating Heaven, the trio entered the Grand Mansion’s territory. Since the Grand Mansion was located near the Heavenly Palace of the Floating Heaven, it was directly under the command of the Heavenly Emperor of the Floating Heaven.
The Mansion Master of the Grand Mansion was also a titled Celestial Emperor of the Heavenly Palace of the Floating Heaven, but his position was not high in the Heavenly Palace. As an ordinary titled Celestial Emperor, it was not surprising he did not hold much importance in the Heavenly Palace of the Floating Heaven.
…
In Nangu City that was part of the Grand Mansion’s territory.
After entering Nangu City, Duan Ling Tian told Feng Tian Wu to inform Li Fei of their arrival.
After a moment, Feng Tian Wu replied, “Brother Duan, I’ve already spoken to Sister Li Fei. She’s on the way here with the others…”
“Alright.” Although Duan Ling Tian looked outwardly calm, great waves of emotions were surging in his heart. Even his heart was thumping quickly in his chest. At this time, his mind had traveled back to the time when he first saw Li Fei.
At that time, Li Fei, who was from the Li clan, was the number one beauty in Aurora City. Duan Ling Tian could vividly remember her eighteen-year-old self who was dressed in a light purple robe and her mature charm that was a stark contrast to Ke’er. Her beautiful eyes were capable of capturing the souls of men who looked at her. She was the first woman who had invoked a strong desire in him just based on appearance alone. From the beginning, she had held an extremely high position in his heart. It had been a long time since he heard her calling him a scoundrel. Not long after she gave birth to his son, they were separated; the separation lasted for 300 years. With all these thoughts in his mind, his eyes glistened slightly with tears.
At this moment…
“Brother Duan, Sister Fei’er is here…”
Upon hearing these words, Duan Ling Tian could not help but tremble. His eyes lit up like the brightest star in the night sky immediately. As though guided by a mysterious force, he instinctively looked north. Soon after, he saw four figures flying toward him from the distance. Three figures flew in the lead while one figure flew at the back. He was not familiar with the person flying at the back of the trio.
Duan Ling Tian was incredibly familiar with the two women flying at the lead. After so many years, his wife’s appearance did not change much; her biggest transformation seemed to be the otherworldly air around her. On the other hand, Han Xue Nai seemed to have matured a lot, no longer resembling the mischievous young girl from the past. As for the young man who resembled him, it was not hard to guess that the young man was his son, Duan Nian Tian.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Before Li Fei and the others arrived, several figures appeared next to Duan Ling Tian one after another. They were none other than Feng Tian Wu, Duan Si Ling, Li Rou, and the others.
At this time, Duan Nian Tian and Han Xue Nai tacitly came to a stop when they were near Duan Ling Tian and the others as Li Fei rushed forward toward Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian flew forward to Li Fei as well. The husband and wife were finally reunited after being separated for so long. They embraced each other tightly to the point where they could feel each other’s breaths. Neither of them spoke as though worried the happiness of the moment would be broken as soon as they spoke. They continued to embrace each other tightly as though they wished they could merge into one.
Meanwhile, the beautiful woman caught up to Duan Nian Tian and Han Xue Nai and came to a stop. She was taken back as she watched Li Fei embrace the purple-clad man with a dazed expression. She had never seen Li Fei acting in such a manner. After following Li Fei for so many years, it was not difficult for her to guess the situation. Moreover, she paid close attention to Li Fei since she treated Li Fei as her daughter as well. “That man must be her husband…”
Li Fei was usually aloof. She would only show hints of happiness when she was with her son, Duan Nian Tian, and Han Xue Nai. When Li Fei was with her master, she seemed to be able to relax slightly, letting her true self peek out. However, this was the first time she was so unabashedly happy.
After a long time, Duan Ling Tian finally broke the silence. “Little Fei’er, you’ve suffered…” As he spoke, he ran his fingers through Li Fei’s long hair that cascaded down her back.
As soon as Li Fei heard Duan Ling Tian’s voice, she felt the tension in her body, accumulated over the years they were apart, melt away. Tears rolled down her face like pearls as she buried her face in his chest and said, “Scoundrel! Do you know how much I missed you! I miss you so much!”
“I’m sorry, I’m late.” Duan Ling Tian embraced Li Fei tightly. His voice was indescribably gentle, and a tinge of guilt could be heard in it.
“No, you’re not late…” Li Fei shook her head, feeling overwhelmed by her emotions.
After a while, the lovers finally seemed to be aware of the gazes that were trained on them.
When Li Fei raised her head, her cheeks were red. After that, she pulled Duan Ling Tian’s hand and made her way toward Li Rou and Duan Ru Feng.
Li Fei bowed at Duan Ling Tian’s parents and said, “This unfilial daughter-in-law greets mother and father…”
Duan Ru Feng laughed happily before he said, “How are you unfilial? Fei’er, if Tian’er ever bullies you, you have to let me know; I’ll definitely discipline him on your behalf.”
“That’s right.” Li Rou stepped forward and held Li Fei’s hand. “Fei’er, if Tian’er bullies you, you have to tell mother. I’ll definitely teach him a lesson…”
Duan Ling Tian smiled wryly as he stood at the side. He wondered if these people were really his biological parents.
At this moment, Li Fei turned around to look at Duan Nian Tian who stood frozen in the distance and called out, “Nian Tian, come and meet your father and grandparents.”
Upon hearing his mother’s words, Duan Nian Tian immediately flew forward. When he arrived in front of his father, he looked at his father emotionally with a burning gaze as he called out, “Father!”
