Chapter 1044: Reunion with Elder He
She didn't hide anything, nodding with a smile, her tone carrying a straightforward concern.
"Of course I want to, don't you want to, sister?"
After Long Qingfei landed, she walked over and sat down beside her.
Her fingertips lightly brushed across the leaves of the spiritual herb on the stone table, and a gentle smile curved her lips.
"You should call me Master!"
"Didn't we agree that we're sisters with my husband, and you should call me Master?"
"I don't care!" Long Wanning said indifferently.
We've covered it so many times already, why bother with this!
"Sister, I'm asking you, don't you miss your husband?"
Consort Long Qing didn't know what to say.
But she nodded still: "I want to, but my husband is burdened with heavy responsibilities!"
"After slaying that Emperor Yu Cangtian, there will certainly be many things to deal with."
"Let's just wait here patiently."
Her tone was calm, but a barely perceptible expectation lingered deep in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, Long Wanning suddenly moved closer and reached out to hug her arm.
A mischievous glint flashed in his eyes, and he chuckled, "Whether it's a matter of fact or not, I don't know."
"But I bet my husband is busy enjoying himself with his sisters, eating and drinking well, like roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) and stockpiling grain."
"Isn't that what you're thinking about, sister? Your husband really likes your food reserves!"
"You silly girl, you're being ridiculous!"
Consort Long's cheeks flushed slightly at her words.
She gave her a slight glare with her beautiful eyes.
He reached out and tapped her forehead.
She hesitated for a moment before finally saying softly, "I'm thinking about when my husband will return, unlike you, whose mind is filled with these colors."
While saying this, the smile on his lips was impossible to hide.
The chilling aura emanating from him had mostly dissipated.
All that remains is the intimacy between sisters.
Long Wanning laughed even harder and moved closer to her.
The sound of the flowing spring water accompanied the two of them whispering.
"Sister, you'll have to endure even more of that trick next time we cooperate to exploit our husband!"
"You still say such embarrassing things..."
The two sisters were playing around.
It added a touch of warmth to this tranquil courtyard.
Little did they know the figure that haunted their dreams.
They had already landed outside the gates of the Hermitage Palace.
Jiang Yantian has arrived.
However, he did not head straight for the sleeping quarters to find Long Wanning and Consort Long Qing.
As soon as I stepped into the gate of the celestial palace, my gaze was drawn to the figure under the corridor not far away.
His tall and straight figure, the white hair at his temples, and the way he walked with a confident stride.
They're old acquaintances.
Elder He!
A hint of a smile flashed across Jiang Yantian's eyes when he caught sight of Elder He.
After a slight pause, he took the initiative to step forward.
With her left arm around Xue Haifu Ling's shoulder, her right hand was still gently held by Zhong Li Qingwan.
He led the two women toward the corridor.
"Elder He!"
He greeted us, his voice gentle.
With a touch of familiarity, as if after a long separation.
The chilling imperial might that had annihilated the Heavenly Emperor was completely gone.
Elder He paused, then blinked blankly.
His brows furrowed slightly.
"That voice...it sounds so familiar."
He slowly turned around, and when he saw the silver-haired, black-robed figure in front of him...
His eyes widened suddenly, and his pupils contracted sharply.
He blurted out a curse word without thinking: "Holy shit!"
He quickly stepped forward.
His expression was extremely respectful, with his hands clasped in a fist and his back bent very low.
"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor!"
He truly hadn't expected Jiang Yantian to come.
Jiang Yantian raised his hand and waved it lightly, his tone casual.
"There's no need for formalities here. It's more appropriate to call me son-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Elder He's voice trembled with excitement.
He nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with unbelievable joy.
"Son-in-law! It really is you! You're back!"
He never expected that the Demon Emperor, who now suppresses all realms, would still recognize him, an old acquaintance who was nothing special.
And so approachable.
Jiang Yantian glanced around at the quiet corridor.
The question then fell back to Elder He, who asked in a relaxed tone.
"Has that family matter you mentioned been resolved?"
Elder He, who had been all smiles just moments before, stiffened for a second.
Jiang Yantian thought he had forgotten and reminded him.
"It's the son your father and daughter had, who had a child with your mother. Now that the child is born, what should you call that child?"
Upon hearing this, Elder He's joy froze instantly, and then his face fell.
His brows were furrowed, and his whole face was filled with pain.
It's as if they're wearing a mask of pain.
That messy family affair, involving all sorts of complicated matters, has always been the deepest knot in his heart.
It's really hard to say.
He could only rub his hands together with a forced laugh, looking embarrassed.
Seeing his troubled look, Jiang Yantian coughed lightly.
"Alright, alright, I've put you in a difficult position!"
"However, I'm really curious, how good is your family relationship?"
"Are they getting along well? Do you have time to call them all over so I can see an orthopedic doctor?"
Elder He's lips twitched a few more times.
"We get along really well, but son-in-law... what is an orthopedic surgeon?"
He didn't quite understand.
Jiang Yantian usually likes to teach others, so there's nothing wrong with him answering their questions.
He released his woman's hand and took a step back.
He swung his arm right in front of Elder He.
What's this move called?
Elder He glanced at it and said, "Swing..."
"Hmm... what about something so haphazard..." Jiang Yantian said casually.
"chaos....."
"Uh..." Elder He almost burst into tears!
Xue Hai Fu Ling and Zhong Li Qing Wan were beside Jiang Yan Tian.
The red dress and white skirt reflected the radiant light under the corridor.
He looked at Elder He with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
What the hell?
My husband's gossipy manner must mean something big is going on.
However, seeing Elder He's reaction, the two women gently squeezed Jiang Yantian's hand.
It seemed to be a signal to him to stop teasing him, as he was about to cry.
Jiang Yantian stopped and smiled, "Alright, I'm going to find my wife now. Elder He, please make yourself at home!"
Jiang Yantian then walked away.
Elder He quietly wiped away his tears.
After walking away for a while, the two women finally couldn't help but ask.
"Husband, what news is there about Elder He?"
"That sounds so exciting..."
On the way to the bedroom, Jiang Yantian chatted with them about gossip.
"That's right, Elder He married his cousin and they had a daughter."
"After their daughter came of age, she went out to gain experience and met Elder He's father. The two fell in love at first sight and began a May-December romance!"
"Later, Elder He's father, unaware of the situation, married Elder He's daughter as his seventeenth concubine."
"Then, Elder He's father and Elder He's daughter had a son!"
"Years later, the son born to Elder He's father and Elder He's daughter was out training when he caught the eye of Elder He's mother, and they became Daoist partners again."
"Now, the son born to Elder He's father and Elder He's daughter is with Elder He's mother."
Elder He's father and daughter had a son, who then fathered a child with Elder He's mother. Now that the child is born, what should Elder He call the baby?
"????"
"????"
"Sigh~~"
The two women involuntarily stopped in their tracks; their CPUs were starting to overheat.
"Elder He's near-crying state just now is actually understandable..."
Zhong Liqing smiled awkwardly.
