As soon as Feng Jiu held the child in her arms, Xuanyuan Mo Ze walked to the front of the airship and peered into the distance for a long time. As if he had just remembered something, he turned back and added, “By the way, Mo Chen initially wanted to join us, but I declined. I believe he should first visit Peng Lai Immortal Island.”
“Oh, Mo Chen!” Feng Jiu nodded but did not think it odd. “Leave him alone! He should be able to go up the Immortal Ascension Ladder with his strength and temperament.”
“Let’s go meet your father, then send Feng Ye and Sunny back, and then travel right to Peng Lai Immortal Island,” she said as she walked to his side, carrying the child.
“Mm.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze agreed with a nod.
Feng Ye approached from behind and said, somewhat perplexed, “What kind of place is the Immortal Ascension Ladder, Little Jiu Jiu? What’s up there on top? What are you going to do over there?”
Feng Jiu replied with a slight smile, “It is a passage that can lead to another realm, but you need a great deal of power and strength of character to make it to the top. After you return, cultivate well. You can go there and give it a try sometime in the future.”
“Then, can Leng Hua and the others climb up there as well?”He cast a curious glance back towards Luo Yu and the others.
Feng Jiu pursed her lips and smirked, “They cannot climb, but I can get them there.” Feng Jiu understood what he wanted to say after observing his reluctant expression, so she patted his head and said, “You are still young. Here, you should cultivate well. Do not worry that you will lack opportunities.”
“But, Hao’er is even younger than me.” He muttered.
“Hao’er is different! I have to bring him along with me because he is still too little to be left alone.” She chuckled. “Alright, you see, Sunny is busy cultivating cross-legged there. You can’t afford to be lazy. Otherwise, you’ll end up being weaker than Sunny. It’s embarrassing to continue relying on him to protect you.”
“I am not going to be weaker than Sunny. I’ll be more powerful than Sunny.” As he talked hurriedly, he ran back, sat alongside Sunny, and cultivated with him.
The airship shuttled through the clouds, rapidly moving from one location to the next. Feng Jiu was the only one among them who did nothing except rest, cultivate, and eat what she had stored away.
When they arrived at Xuanyuan Empire, their airship landed right outside the palace’s entrance gate.
The sentry guard of the Imperial City was so taken aback by the appearance of the two people, one in black and one in red, that he did not care to salute and instead raced swiftly inside to spread the news.
The Xuanyuan Country Ruler was astonished when he heard from the subordinates that it was Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu on their way.
They were coming back? He couldn’t help but feel happy and a little nervous at the same time. After going to the Upper Continent for so long, the two of them finally decided to come back for a visit.
Xuanyuan Mo Ze escorted Feng Jiu inside the palace, and the two of them saluted the man on the throne. “I have met Father.”
“Country Ruler.” Feng Jiu greeted and saluted, but she was holding the child and only bowed slightly.
The Xuanyuan Country Ruler couldn’t help but smile joyfully when he saw the child in Feng Jiu’s arms. “Is, is this the child of both of you? My grandson? Come on over here and give me a look.”
When they heard this, they looked at each other and smiled. Feng Jiu went forward with the child in her arms. After taking the child and examining him from all angles, he asked,”Why doesn’t he resemble the two of you?”
“This is the child we picked up,” they stated with a smile.
