Back to Wu Tan City

After an unknown amount of time, a soft cry rang out in the room, and then everything returned to calm.

Ya Fei nestled shyly in Xiao Yu's arms, gazing at Xiao Yu profile with boundless tenderness in her eyes. She had never imagined what her life would be like before, but everything changed after meeting Xiao Yu Xiao Yu, especially after he helped her to cultivate.

When they first met in Wu Tan City, she was only curious about Xiao Yu. At that time, she was still the top person in her family and wanted to help her family make friends with a future fifth-grade or even sixth-grade alchemist.

Ya Fei gently played with the Storage Ring that Xiao Yu was still wearing on his hand and said softly, "Have you always carried this Storage Ring with you?"

Xiao Yu glanced at the Storage Ring on his left hand and chuckled, "This is the first precious gift I've ever received, so I have to keep it with me at all times!"

Ya Fei looked at Xiao Yu with eyes full of spring water and said, "Do you know? This Storage Ring is a keepsake left to me by my mother. When I first met you, I just wanted to befriend you. There are countless ordinary Storage Ring at the Mittel Auction House. Although Storage Ring are precious, there are plenty of ordinary Storage Ring available at the auction house. But I just impulsively gave this Storage Ring to you. Don't you think this is fate?"

Xiao Yu hadn't expected that this Storage Ring was actually a keepsake from Ya Fei's mother. He looked at Ya Fei with some affection and said, "Of course it's fate. Marriage is arranged by heaven, and now you've been conquered by me, haven't you?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Ya Fei Xiao Yu rolled her eyes at him and said, "I really didn't expect you to be so shameless!"

"You don't like it?"

Ya Fei shook her head and chuckled, "I don't like it. I still prefer the man who does everything with a calm and collected demeanor, like an immortal being, not someone like you, so shameless!"

Xiao Yu grinned mischievously, "Alright, so you had your eye on me all along. But from now on, you'll only see this wicked me, hahaha!"

After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he pounced on Ya Fei again. Instantly, the room was filled with beautiful music once more, and the moon outside was so ashamed of this scene that it hid behind the clouds. As the saying goes, "A young girl of sixteen has a body like soft butter, and she carries a sword at her waist to slay foolish men. Although no heads fall, she secretly makes people's bones dry."

The next day.

When Xiao Yu opened his eyes, he couldn't help but sigh, "I haven't been this tired in a long time, but this sleep was really good!"

Just as he was lost in thought, the door creaked open, and Ya Fei walked in carrying a basin of hot water, smiling at Xiao Yu and saying, "You're up?"

Xiao Yu sat up in bed and looked at Ya Fei teasingly, "Last night really exhausted me!"

"Go away! Get up now. Are you going back to Wu Tan City today?" Ya Fei, blushing and spitting out her words.

Xiao Yu got up and dressed, saying, "Now that everything's settled, let's head back to Wu Tan City. The Xiao Clan is also going to the Black Corner Region this time, so packing will probably take quite some time!"

While helping Xiao Yu wash up, Ya Fei said, "Alright, a month from now, we'll go to the Black Corner Region together. I'll find some flying beasts then!"

After washing his face, Xiao Yu looked at Ya Fei and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Ya Fei pouted and said, "Aren't you going to give me a reward?"

Xiao Yu's mind raced, and he pressed his lips firmly against Ya Fei's slightly pouting red lips, leaving Ya Fei completely bewildered.

"What are you doing?" Ya Fei asked, her face flushed, staring at Xiao Yu with wide eyes.

Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "This is the reward you wanted? Don't you like it?"

Ya Fei lowered her head slightly and murmured, "I do like it, but it's just a bit sudden!"

Xiao Yu laughed and said, "You'll get used to it!" Then he walked outside.

In the living room, Cai Lin was having breakfast with Little Xiao Nian. When Xiao Yu came downstairs, Cai Lin's eyes glared at him like knives, causing Xiao Yu to tremble slightly. He muttered to himself, "I don't think I've offended this woman, have I?"

By the time Xiao Yu reached the dining table, Cai Lin's gaze had already turned back. It seemed as if nothing had happened, but Xiao Yu could feel that the surrounding temperature had dropped somewhat.

Xiao Yu sat down next to Little Xiao Nian Little Xiao Nian whispered in her ear, "Did you offend your Aunt Cai Lin last night?"

While eating, Little Xiao Nian looked at Xiao Yu with some confusion and said, "Daddy, I didn't offend Aunt Cai Lin!"

Upon hearing Little Xiao Nian's words, Xiao Yu felt a chill run down his neck. Looking up, he met Cai Lin's deathly gaze. He chuckled awkwardly and said, "I don't think I've offended you, have I?"

Cai Lin said coldly, "Let's get going after you finish eating!" After saying that, she pulled Little Xiao Nian away and walked outside. Poor Little Xiao Nian didn't even know what was going on before Aunt Cai Lin dragged her away.

Xiao Yu also felt somewhat helpless. Seeing Ya Fei coming down from the second floor, he was immediately horrified and thought, "Damn, could it be that the commotion last night was too loud and kept her from sleeping well?"

The more Xiao Yu thought about it, the more likely this seemed.

After bidding farewell to Ya Fei, Xiao Yu, Cai Lin, and Little Xiao Nian headed towards Wu Tan City.

Throughout the journey, Xiao Yu dared not meet Cai Lin's gaze. Cai Lin carried Little Xiao Nian and flew straight towards Wu Tan City.

In just half a morning, Xiao Yu, Cai Lin, and Little Xiao Nian arrived outside Wu Tan City, landing not far from the Wu Tan City.

Upon entering the city gate, a cacophony of voices filled Xiao Yu's ears from all directions. As he stepped onto this land once again, he felt an immense sense of peace.

Looking at the familiar streets before him, after all, it was the place where he had lived for over a decade. "I've been away from home for almost three years, and it hasn't changed much at all!"

Little Xiao Nian peeked around curiously, and Xiao Yu picked her up and said softly with a smile, "Nian'er, this is Daddy's home now. You'll see Grandpa soon!"

When Little Xiao Nian was in the Imperial Capital, Xiao Zhan had held her in his arms. However, a year has passed, and Little Xiao Nian has grown up quite a bit. This is the first time she has met her grandfather, Xiao Zhan.

"Grandpa?" A hint of confusion appeared in Little Xiao Nian's big eyes. Xiao Yu chuckled and led Little Xiao Nian on a slow walk through the city, reminiscing about the past. When they passed by several of the Xiao Clan's markets, they went in for a stroll.

Just as Xiao Yu was about to leave, a tentative shout rang out, causing Xiao Yu to stop in his tracks.

"Young Master?"

Xiao Yu turned his head and saw that it was indeed an acquaintance. A middle-aged man led a group of the Xiao Clan guards through the market. Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "Uncle Pei En!"

Pei En looked at Xiao Yu with some excitement and said respectfully, "Young Master, it really is you! I thought I had mistaken you for someone else!"

Xiao Yu looked at Pei En and smiled, "I didn't mistake him. I came back to visit, and also to take care of some things with my father!"

Pei En nodded repeatedly and said, "Are you looking for the clan chief? The clan chief should be with the Jia Lie Family right now!"

Xiao Yu asked with some confusion, "The Jia Lie Family? What are they doing there?"
