Chapter 227 Departure
Yun Yi has undergone a complete transformation; she is now a true Golden Elixir Fairy, with her hair half-tied into a bun and secured with a jade hairpin and white silk.
With a delicate hand gesture, a woman in a pink and white gauze dress transformed into light and gracefully arrived, nestling into Leng Huan's arms like a swallow returning to its nest, her voice sweet and innocent: "Mother, I formed my core before Yun Fei!"
She lingered with Leng Huan for a while before looking at Fu Xun, "Father, it's been so long! Wow, you really are the same person!"
"Yun Yi is great, keep up the good work, your brother is about to break through too." Leng Huan supported her arm and looked her over carefully. After more than two years, she was still a beautiful and adorable little girl.
She just has a more composed demeanor and more striking features. Leng Huan secretly thought that Yun Yi was simply a female version of Fu Xun, bright and enchanting. If she were to return to the Eastern Sea Continent, she would be pampered to the extreme!
"Hmm." Fu Xun hummed in agreement, took out a storage bag and handed it to his daughter: "Here, this is your breakthrough gift. Congratulations on forming your core."
The surrounding cultivators, seeing that Leng Huan and his group hadn't left, realized that the second cultivator undergoing tribulation was with them again.
Good heavens! Who are these people? Two combined-stage protectors, two Golden Core cultivators undergoing tribulation at the same time, they seem to be from the same family.
Horror!
The Heavenly Dao is so biased towards this family. Isn't it said that high-level cultivators don't have many offspring?
For three days, lightning struck. After Yun Fei underwent her tribulation, everyone waited anxiously for a long time until the sky grew brighter, the spiritual energy dissipated, and the thunderclouds disappeared. Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief. Finally... finally, no more tribulations came.
"Father, Mother!" In the blink of an eye, Yun Fei landed in front of them. "That's wonderful! We haven't seen each other in so long. Wow, Yun Yi broke through a few days earlier than me..."
After scanning the area and not seeing Yun Du, Yun Fei muttered, "Has Big Brother not come out of seclusion yet?"
"Yes, Yun Du is still in seclusion." Fu Xun stood with his hands behind his back, looking at his two children and feeling secretly comforted.
Yun Fei has also transformed from a carefree teenager into a composed young man. His features resemble Leng Huan's, but his eyebrows are as sharp as his father's, giving him a heroic air.
This guy loves to wear white clothes, unlike his older brother who always wears black. He has a purple bamboo folding fan hanging from his waist. It looks ordinary, but it is actually his usual high-level magic weapon, the Qingxuan Treasure Fan.
"Let's go back to the cave first." After opening the teleportation channel, Fu Xun led Leng Huan in first, followed by Yun Yi and Yun Fei. After the spatial fluctuations, the family had disappeared without a trace.
Only then did the nearby cultivators dare to breathe heavily.
Everyone was wondering, could this be some reclusive family?
"Greetings, Miss. Congratulations, Young Master. Congratulations, Second Young Master. Congratulations, Third Miss, on your breakthrough."
When they returned to their cave, they saw Qiuyue and Dongxue. Like ordinary cultivators, their cultivation had increased, but they had not yet reached the point of breakthrough. Let alone five or six years, it would take ten or twenty years, or even a lifetime. It was common for ordinary cultivators to be stuck at this stage and unable to form their core.
Leng Huan nodded to the two of them: "Once Yun Du leaves the pass, we will set off back to the Eastern Sea Continent."
Another month passed before Yun Du, having reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, finally emerged.
Leng Huan sent a message to Holy Snow Valley, asking the Valley Master to bring his people to meet him.
"Mother, what happened? What's going on in Holy Snow Valley?" Yun Du had just come out of seclusion and was completely confused.
Leng Huan: "It's nothing. Saint Snow Valley is our kin."
"Same race? How could that be?"
"Oh, big brother, the Valley Master and the others will be here soon. Just ask us if you have any questions."
Having already learned the whole story, Yun Fei and Yun Yi pulled Yun Du aside to talk.
The twins have recently realized that they want to give their parents some space to be alone, but having several "third wheels" is just too much of a problem.
Leng Huan tilted her head and looked at the siblings whispering over there. They were all quite unique. Yun Yi was even a point taller than her, and she even inherited Fu Xun's height.
Needless to say, Yun Du and Yun Fei were both a head taller than her, possessing Fu Xun's physique—slender and strong.
"Tsk!"
Turning her head, Leng Huan glanced at Fu Xun. Recently, this man had started growing a beard for some reason. She was a little disgusted by it, feeling that it pricked her mouth. As soon as Leng Huan mentioned it, he gave up the beard and started to grow a few strands of white hair from his black temples.
Time is always kind to high-level cultivators; most of them don't seem to age, but their children have all grown up. Fu Xun felt he should have the dignity of an old father, so his hair turned a little white.
"What's wrong, my wife?" Feeling the person staring intently at him, he subconsciously raised his hand to touch his temples.
Leng Huan leaned closer to him: "Actually, even if you look very young, when you stand with the kids, they can still recognize you as their father."
"...I'm not..." Fu Xun originally wanted to argue, but in the end he sighed: "Okay, I just feel that the kids are all grown up, and the two of us standing next to them don't look like parents at all."
Leng Huan blatantly used his sleeve to cover his hand and scratched his palm. "Hehe, if you say that, I suspect that all high-level cultivators deliberately age like this."
Grasping her hand, Fu Xun nodded seriously: "Hmm... there are indeed quite a few. Those in high positions put on an act to maintain their status and prestige."
"Fu Xun, I actually like you looking a bit older. But let's skip the beard, just leave it as it is, a little gray hair looks good too. What do you think, should I change it up a bit?"
“No need. My wife is very special. No one will ever mistake you for Yunyi’s sister.” Fu Xun didn’t know how to describe her temperament.
Leng Huan roughly understood that this meant she was very much like a married woman, and he rolled his eyes inwardly.
She shook off his hand and pouted, "Then you're still a husband."
His aura of authority grew stronger, and coupled with his outstanding appearance, he possessed a suffocating yet captivating composure.
Two days ago, when he accompanied the twins to a nearby training camp, a beautiful female cultivator showed interest in him and offered to become his servant.
For cultivators with limited resources, clinging to the coattails of powerful cultivators is also a viable option.
Leng Huan was unhappy. Who doesn't have someone who likes them?
She'll definitely have people who'll try to act young when she goes back...
"My lady, they're here." Fu Xun leaned in and quickly kissed her cheek when she wasn't looking. Usually, if she was a little angry, he would quickly coax her back.
"You—" Leng Huan covered his face, about to have a friendly argument with him, when a rainbow light suddenly appeared right in front of him. It really was someone from Holy Snow Valley.
"Lord of Water Valley, you have finally arrived. We are ready."
The valley master was named Shui Wuwang, and he led one Nascent Soul cultivator and two Golden Core cultivators.
"Holy Maiden Senior, I've finished explaining things in the valley, which will take some time. I apologize for keeping you waiting."
Leng Huan: "Soon, the Valley Master will be ready, so let's set off for Wanghai City in the east..."
At this moment, Yun Du came over with his younger brother and sister. Leng Huan waved to him and said, "Yun Du, come here quickly. Let your mother introduce you to the Valley Master."
The Valley Master was stunned to discover that Yun Du and the others were actually Leng Huan's children. He was both envious and surprised: "I didn't expect that the Holy Maiden Senior already has such talented children, each of them a prodigy. How wonderful!"
Leng Huan swore he had no intention of showing off, but he was always happy to hear others praise his cub.
Perhaps all parents in the world feel this way. She humbly cupped her hands in greeting: "Master, you flatter me. The children are quite obedient, hahaha."
Yun Du led the way, cupping his hands in respect to the Valley Master and the others, and together they greeted them with "Greetings, seniors."
"No need for formalities, please just call me Uncle." The Valley Master smiled and closed the distance, presenting a generous gift.
"Well, we still need to go back and check the family tree to see who we're from. It's more appropriate for the children to call him 'senior'," Leng Huan explained tactfully, mainly because she didn't feel that she and the Valley Master were of the same generation.
The Valley Master didn't care about any of that: "It's alright, it's alright. The young masters are truly the future hope of our Snow Clan."
A young lady is also a young master.
Fu Xun spoke up only after they had finished speaking: "Master Shuigu, it's better to set off sooner rather than later."
