The Xuanyuan Country Ruler was momentarily taken aback upon hearing this. “You didn’t give birth to the child?”
“No, but we did adopt the child.” Feng Jiu answered.
“I see. It is no surprise that the child does not resemble you at all, but he is cute and delicate.” The Xuanyuan Country Ruler returned the child to Feng Jiu. “It’s taken you two so long. I heard your big brother recently married. Why don’t you plan to get married?”
“Father, we’re not in a rush about this.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze stepped forward. “This trip is mainly to visit you because we may not be able to return for a while.”
The Xuanyuan Country Ruler was astonished after hearing his remark. “Why? The Upper Continent is only a short distance away. You can return as long as you take your time. Why are you unable to return? What happened when you were there?”
!!
“No, we are planning to go up the Immortal Ascension Ladder on Peng Lai Immortal Island. Then, we are going to cultivate in another realm, so we may not come back for several years.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze stated.
When the Xuanyuan Country Ruler heard this, he nodded. “I see, there is indeed such a legend there. But, can you locate it? It is stated that climbing the Immortal Ascension Ladder is difficult. If you are not careful, you will fall from it, destroying your whole cultivation.”
“We found it, and I’ve been there; there’s nothing to fear.” Feng Jiu stated.
“Now that you’ve decided, I respect your decision, but proceed with caution.” The Xuanyuan Country Ruler spoke to them. “Since you haven’t been back for quite some time, go get some rest first. I will host a reception for you this evening.”
“The reception is unnecessary. I’ll show them around the city in the evening, and we’ll leave the next day,” Xuanyuan Mo Ze stated.
When the Xuanyuan Country Ruler saw this, he nodded. “That’s fine. Do what you think is right. You can go.”
The two withdrew and led everyone outside the palace to rest.
Feng Ye and Sunny were playing around the palace without tiring. Leng Hua followed them to prevent them from sneaking out of the palace when no one was looking.
Several people, including Luo Yu and the others, gathered in the garden to enjoy a meal and some drinks that had been prepared by the royal chef. Leng Shuang and Bai Qingcheng took Hao’er to rest in the room.
Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan Mo Ze were also drinking in the courtyard. Since this wasn’t in Feng Manor, the contract beasts were put inside the s.p.a.ce as soon as they got here, making the atmosphere much calmer.
“Are we leaving tomorrow? Isn’t it too soon? It won’t be so easy for us to get back after we leave. ” Feng Jiu spoke as she took a mouthful of food.
“We have no reason to stay longer, so we might as well leave a little sooner.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze stated as he poured a cup of wine.
Feng Jiu smiled as she heard his words but said nothing else. The two were dining in the courtyard and then taking a nap for a while before going to the city with them in the evening.
As morning approached, while the sky was still dark, they departed on the airs.h.i.+p…
A few days later, when the airs.h.i.+p landed on the Upper Continent, Feng Ye and Zhao Yang were not in the mood to cultivate, as they knew that the day of their separation was approaching.
Feng Jiu, who saw everything, called the two dejected kids to her and asked, “What’s wrong? Not interested in going back to cultivate? Or, are you unwilling to let us leave?”
“I don’t want to be apart from you,” Feng Ye murmured. He had become so accustomed to having them around that he was naturally reluctant to part with them.
