Chapter 3412: Reunion

“My boy, you’re all grown up now…” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes glistened with tears as he hugged his son. He felt sorry for failing to carry out his duty as a father. Fortunately, his son was understanding and did not blame him.

“Father, we finally meet again… I thought we would only be able to meet after mother becomes a Celestial Emperor,” Duan Nian Tian said excitedly. He had idolized his father since he was a child, and it did not change even though so many years had pa.s.sed.

“The wait is over. I’m here now; we’ll never be separated again,” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes shone with determination as he said, “Believe me when I say we’ll never be separated again!”

“I believe you, father.” Duan Nian Tian nodded seriously; he did not doubt his father’s words. Although he did not know how strong his father was now, he had complete faith in his father. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was his father’s number one fan.

“Alright. Go and greet your grandparents, Aunt Tian Wu, and your sister,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile as he released his hold on his son.

Duan Nian Tian nodded and walked toward Duan Ru Feng and Li Rou. “Grandfather, grandmother.”

“Nian Tian, you’ve grown up.” Duan Ru Feng sighed emotionally.

“Nian Tian…” Tears trickled down Li Rou’s face. In a blink of an eye, her grandson had grown up. Although she did not know what had happened to him over the years, she knew it must not be easy for him to survive until now.

“Xue Nai.”

Overwhelmed with emotions, Han Xue Nai walked toward Duan Ling Tian and wept in his arms. “Brother Ling Tian… I miss you so much.”

Duan Ling Tian and Han Xue Nai were like siblings. In the past, she depended on him a lot and had idolized him. During the years she spent with his wife and son, she had missed him very much as well.

“Silly girl, you’re an adult now. Don’t you feel embarra.s.sed to cry?” Duan Ling Tian shook his head and said teasingly, “How are you? Did you meet anyone you like over the past years?”

“Brother Ling Tian, stop teasing me!” Han Xue Nai smiled. “I’ve already told you; I’d only be interested in a man if he’s as outstanding as you.”

Duan Ling Tian chuckled and said, “Then prepare to stay single for the rest of your life!”

“Brother Ling Tian, you’re being narcissistic again,” Han Xue Nai laughed and said, “We’re in the Devata Realm now… Is there really no other man as brilliant as you throughout all the Devata Realms?”

“Only time will tell.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head and smiled.

“Scoundrel!”

Duan Ling Tian was pulled back to his senses by Li Fei’s voice. He turned to look at her; at this moment, she was surrounded by Little Black, Little White, and Little Gold.

Li Fei glanced at the peerless white-clad beauty standing in the distance and asked, “Why didn’t you introduce us?”

Huan’er hand followed Feng Tian Wu and the others when they left Duan Ling Tian’s Little World.

Duan Ling Tian felt embarra.s.sed when he saw the meaningful gaze that Li Fei shot him.

All this time, Huan’er had been standing silently at the side as she watched Duan Ling Tian and Li Fei’s reunion. A faint smile could be seen on her face; she was genuinely happy for Duan Ling Tian since she knew how much he had missed Li Fei over the years.

“Huan’er.” Duan Ling Tian teleported next to Huan’er and said, “This is my wife, Li Fei.”

“Greetings, Sister Li Fei,” Huan’er greeted Li Fei with a smile, “Brother Ling Tian often spoke about you. You’re much prettier than what he’d described…”

“Thank you for your compliment, Younger Sister Huan’er… You’re really beautiful; no wonder this scoundrel is smitten with you,” Li Fei said with a nod and a smile to Huan’er before she looked at Duan Ling Tian knowingly. At the same time, she said to him through Voice Transmission, “Scoundrel! I don’t care about how many women you fall in love with. However, before Sister Ke’er is rescued from the Divine Offering Land, you aren’t allowed to marry them except for Tian Wu. Even if Sister Ke’er won’t blame you for it, I won’t allow it…”

“Little Fei’er, am I such a cold-blooded person in your eyes?” Duan Ling Tian smiled bitterly and replied through Voice Transmission, “Rest a.s.sured. Before Ke’er is rescued, I won’t marry any woman; this includes Tian Wu…”

Li Fei furrowed her brows slightly. “Don’t you think you’re being cruel to Tian Wu?”

Li Fei furrowed her eyebrow slightly.

“Little Fei’er, I’ve spoken to Tian Wu regarding this matter… She understands my situation and feels it’s the right thing to do as well,” Duan Ling Tian said.

“Tian Wu is too kind,” Li Fei said with a sigh.

Duan Ling Tian had been worried Li Fei and Huan’er might not get along. To his relief, the two women seemed to get along rather well, and Li Fei seemed to like Huan’er as well.

At this time, Han Xue Nai asked with a gleam in her eyes, “Brother Ling Tian, is she my new sister-in-law? She’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen in my life; how did you trick her to follow you?”

Duan Ling Tian feigned indignance when he heard Han Xue Nai’s teasing words. He said, “Hey, watch your words. Where did you pick up such bad habits?”

Now that they were reunited, they naturally had so much to catch up on.

Duan Ling Tian asked curiously, “Little Fei’er, how did you end up in the Heavenly Palace of the Floating Heaven? I heard from Tian Wu that you’re now the disciple of the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor who’s the true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Floating Heaven?”

“Everything started when I was in the mundane realm, the Purple Spike Realm…” Li Fei said before she briefly recounted her experience in the Purple Spike Realm after she left the Divine Offering Land. “Coincidentally, Nian Tian and Xue Nai were also in the Purple Spike Realm. After I found them, we ascended to the Floating Heaven and joined the Heavenly Palace of the Floating Heaven.”

Duan Ling Tian sighed in relief and grat.i.tude. “You’re lucky to have come across such a fortuitous encounter…”

“It’s all thanks to the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Divine Offering Land. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to come so far. Naturally, if given a choice, I’d rather for all of us to live peacefully in the Saint Province Realms instead of being forcibly brought to the Divine Offering Land. It would be great if we could live in peace in the Saint Province Realm,” Li Fei said as a hint of wistfulness shone in her eyes.

“Don’t worry. I promise we’ll have peaceful days in the Devata Realm as well,” Duan Ling Tian said resolutely. He was determined to grow stronger to gain a foothold in the Devata Realms to ensure his family would be able to live peacefully.

Li Fei nodded. Then, she said, “Scoundrel, let’s go meet master…”

…

While Duan Ling Tian and Elder Huo followed Li Fei back to the Heavenly Palace of the Floating Heaven, Duan Nian Tian and Han Xue Nai followed the others back to Duan Ling Tian’s Little World.

“This is father’s Little World?”

Duan Nian Tian and Han Xue Nai were shocked when they discovered the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in Duan Ling Tian’s Little World was similar to the one in the Divine Offering Land.

The inhabitants of the Realms of G.o.ds were extraordinarily gifted due to their superior Heaven and Earth Spirit Energies. Before becoming celestials, they were tempered by the superior Heaven and Earth Spirit Energies in the Realms of G.o.ds, resulting in them having high innate talent and potential.

Han Xue Nai still had not recovered from her shock. “The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in here is exactly the same as the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Divine Offering Land.”

The others were naturally no longer shocked since they had been staying in the Little World for some time now.

“The cultivation environment here is excellent… I’ll become a Celestial Lord very quickly if I cultivate here!”

“Me too!”

Duan Nian Tian and Han Xue Nai could not wait to begin cultivating.

Li Rou and the others could not help but chuckle at the duo’s reactions. After all, their reactions were all similar when they first entered Duan Ling Tian’s Little Word.

…

Outside of Duan Ling Tian’s Little Word.

Duan Ling Tian asked Li Fei, “Little Fei’er, you should have the others’ Soul Pearls, right?”

Li Fei’s expression turned grim immediately. “Apart from mother, father, Ke’er, Si Ling, Senior Sister Mu Yi Yi, Tian Wu, and Tian Wu’s father, the other Soul Pearls have shattered…”

Although Duan Ling Tian was already aware of this, his expression could not help darken again. He clenched his hands tightly as he gritted teeth. He swore to himself inwardly, “Yun Qing Yan, one day, I’ll make you pay for everything!”
