Aiqing's group finally arrives at the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire, yet, Aiqing remained unconscious.

Huotian and the other two started to get worried, expending one's own Spiritual Energy would require ample amount of time before the cultivator could recover, usually, for a Heaven Encompa.s.sing ranked, they'll need at least three days, but Aiqing had already slept for more than six days.

Their group immediately made their way towards the s.h.i.+ Clan, one of the top clans inside the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire.

"Welcome, Young Master!"

"Welcome, Young Miss!"

"Welcome back, Elder s.h.i.+!"

Huotian and the group were welcomed by the servants immediately, Huotian nods his head and led the group inside.

As they arrive in a room, Huotian instructed one of the servants: "Please prepare a room for this child, she needs a good rest. Also, prepare a banquet full of all types of delicious sweets, it will be for her as well."

"Yes, Young Master." The servant nods her head and immediately departs to prepare everything necessary.

Huotian nods his head, he then looks at Vielka: "Miss Vielka, kindly stay together with Aiqing for a while."

"We will greet the Clan's patriarch first."

Vielka nods her head: "Do as you will, I will guard this little girl while you're not here."

"Thank you." Huotian bows his head respectfully and departs together with Shenyu and s.h.i.+ Lue Yu.

As soon as Huotian and the other two left, Vielka looked at Aiqing: "How much longer are you planning to pretend to sleep?"

Vielka spoke to Aiqing, yet, the latter didn't even budge, she then added: "Haaa, suit yourself."

Aiqing's eyes opened slightly as her lips curves slightly upward before returning to that of an expressionless face.

Vielka couldn't help but sigh, still, she didn't hate Aiqing's willfulness, she actually likes it to a certain degree.

Back to Huotian.

After a while, his group arrives at a huge hall, there are elders sitting on both sides of the hall, meanwhile, in the center, there is a chair that's made of some kind of wood, a man between 50s to 60s is currently looking at their group with a stern face, the Patriarch of the s.h.i.+ Clan, s.h.i.+ Li Mang.

s.h.i.+ Lue Yu proceeded and sat at the closest chair for the elder: "Brother."

s.h.i.+ Li Mang nods his head at his little brother, but his eyes gazed at him for a while: "You've broken through, brother?"

s.h.i.+ Lue Yu smiled: "Yes, let's talk about that later."

s.h.i.+ Li Mang nods his head, his gaze then s.h.i.+fts to his son, Huotian.

Huotian bows: "Father, I am back."

"Shenyu greets Father-in-law." Shenyu also bows and offered her greetings.

s.h.i.+ Li Mang remained stern from Huotian's greetings, yet, hearing Shenyu's greetings, his face softens: "I hope that my unfilial son didn't cause too much damage in your Kingdom, Yu'er."

Shenyu shook her head: "Father-in-law, he's a very remarkable partner for me, I doubt he'll cause ruckus there."

s.h.i.+ Li Mang smiled, s.h.i.+fting his gaze towards his son again: "How had you been?"

Huotian smiled: "I've been doing great, Father."

s.h.i.+ Li Mang's face remained stern, but then, a smile appeared on his face as he asks: "So... Any progress?"

Huotian chuckles: "I believe... Father will be expected to be a grandpa in less than a year's time."

s.h.i.+ Li Mang smiled, he then laughs: "Hahaha, good son, you didn't let this old man down."

Hearing the words of these two, Shenyu couldn't help but blush, her head bowed greatly, still, a smile could be seen from her face.

Pak!

A crisp, loud noise echoes, making the father and son duo's laughter stopped.

s.h.i.+ Li Mang's head was bent in an odd way, a figure from behind him had smacked his head with an extreme force that caused a shock to explode inside the Grand Hall.

s.h.i.+ Li Mang didn't even look back as he looks at his son with an angry expression: "You unfilial son! What kind of thing are you speaking of in front of my daughter-in-law!!!"

s.h.i.+ Li Mang's words caused everyone to tremble slightly due to the mere power of the voice.

He then continued: "You should repent yourself later!"

He paused, his head then recovers as he looks at the silhouette from behind him slowly: "Isn't that right my dear wife? This unfilial son of ours really is such a troublesome child! Hmmp! He should be punished severely!"

The one that smacked s.h.i.+ Li Mang's head was his one and only wife, Lin Bing bing.

Lin Bing Bing is an expert at initial stage Immortal Foundation rank, although s.h.i.+ Li Mang is at the peak stage of Immortal Foundation rank, he wouldn't put nor harm a single strand of hair from his wife, after all, it is his duty to protect her as a husband.

Lin Bing Bing frowns: "And who do you think our son took after to? You go and receive the punishment with him later!"

s.h.i.+ Li Mang's face sank: "But wife, I still have many things to do!"

"I will do it in your stead, just receive it!" Lin Bing Bing ordered.

s.h.i.+ Li Mang's face became serious: "I am the Patriarch of the s.h.i.+ Clan!"

"And I am your wife!"

s.h.i.+ Li Mang sighs: "Son, let's go..."

Huotian chuckles as he nods his head, he then looked at his mother: "Mother, I'm home."

Lin Bing Bing smiled, she then approached Huotian and gave him a huge hug: "Yes, mother missed you so much... Now go and receive your punishment first!"

"Yes, mother." Huotian smiled as he let's go and followed his father to their ancestral home.

As soon as the father and son duo left, Lin Bing Bing looked at Shenyu and smiled: "Little Yu'er, let's go and have our womanly talk."

"Yes, Mother-in-law." Shenyu smiled as she followed Lin Bing Bing.

Lin Bing Bing nods as she placed her hand on her shoulder: "Just call me mother, after all, you will be part of the Family soon. So... Is it a boy or a girl?"

Shenyu became embarra.s.sed again: "I have no way of finding out, mother."

Lin Bing Bing nods her head repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I will teach you something, we will definitely look into the gender of your child, come, come."

Another duo left the Grand Hall.

As these four people vanished, the elders couldn't help but chuckle and converse amongst one another before returning to their duties, they could just hear the good news some other day.

After a while, Huotian came back to the courtyard that he left Aiqing and Vielka before, this time, he's together with both his father and mother.

s.h.i.+ Li Mang looked at Aiqing who's sleeping on the bed: "This is the girl that defeated all of those enemies?!"

s.h.i.+ Li Mang couldn't believe it, he heard from both his little brother and son that Aiqing defeated an ambush from the Dark Guild, it consists of thirty Immortal Foundation ranked experts, although all of them are at the initial stage, he, s.h.i.+ Li Mang would find it hard to fight such numbers alone, he might also die in the process.

"Haaa, such a talented child, she's also very beautiful, a talented young child indeed." s.h.i.+ Li Mang commented.

Lin Bing Bing nods her head: "Yes, she's definitely going to join the ranks of the top experts of our human continent in the future."

Aiqing hearing this felt proud inside her mind; 'Yes, praise this G.o.dly lady in front of you... my sweets... where are they... I'm hungry...'

Huotian nods his head: "She wished to have an ample feast of sweets, I ordered the servants to prepare one, they should be ready now."

Lin Bing Bing nods her head: "Yes, let the servants bring all of it here."

Huotian nods her head and signaled a servant.

Lin Bing Bing then started to walk closer towards Aiqing as she uttered: "Thank you for saving my son and family."

She then kissed Aiqing's forehead and stood up again.

"Young Master, we're here."

Huotian nods his head: "Prepare it, also, even if she didn't wake up today, prepare another one tomorrow."

"Yes!"

As they replied, one after another, servants brought in the sweets that Huotian requested.

It became a huge very colorful banquet!

Then, as the last servant entered, he opened a green jade jar and placed it on the table.

Aiqing's nose moved at this moment, she smelled a very familiar scent.

Huotian and the others noticed it, they all looked at Aiqing in shock.

Aiqing's body started to float in the air, her eyes gracefully opening as her gaze s.h.i.+fts towards the green jade jar.

The sweets inside the jar is something she couldn't forget, this is the same type of sweets that the Sword Emperor gave her before.

Aiqing's hovering body started to move towards the banquet table, her hand then slowly, yet, gracefully touched the jar and took two pieces from the five beads inside.

Aiqing's lips trembles slightly, her gaze from soft turned to fierce. She opened her lips as she uttered softly: "My precious..."

All of them looked at Aiqing in shock; 'Weren't you in a coma earlier, what happened?!'

Only Vielka, the one that knew Aiqing pretended the whole time laughs as she covered her lips.
