The memory ended.
Xiao Se woke up from his cultivation state.
Tears streamed down Xiao Se's right cheek in a continuous line.
He remembered everything.
Whether it was Bibi Dong or everything about Xun'er, during the seven days he was asleep from drinking kuchikamizake, he spent a total of seven years in a different dimension—five years on the Douluo Continent and two years in the Doupo World.
Now, recalling that time feels like it was just yesterday.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
A blue light drifted out from the magic sword pattern on Xiao Se's right hand, landed in front of him, and materialized into Long Kui's perfect silhouette.
Long Kui wiped the tears from the corners of Xiao Se's eyes and said with concern, "You can tell me anything; I can share the burden with you."
"I'm fine." Xiao Se held Long Kui's cold little hand and pulled her into his embrace, saying gently, "It's just that after my SoulRealm broke through to the Spirit Realm, I recalled the events that happened during the time I drank the kuchikamizake."
"Then Long Kui congratulates you, Brother." Nestled in Xiao Se's embrace, Long Kui showed a relieved smile.
Xiao Se nodded, then opened a spatial rift, and the two walked out of the void.
"It seems you've finished absorbing it." Seeing Xiao Se and the other emerge from the void, Gu Yuena, who had been waiting outside for a long time, slowly opened her eyes.
"Mm, yes." Xiao Se was quite emotional.
"Who is she?" Gu Yuena looked at Long Kui, who was very close to Xiao Se, her brows slightly furrowed, and a hint of wariness and faint displeasure flickered in her beautiful eyes.
"She's my sister, Long Kui. Due to some circumstances, she has been a Soul body all along, but it won't be long. Once I gather the last material, I can start the process to revive her." Xiao Se gently stroked Long Kui's jade-like hand.
"Is she really just your sister?" Gu Yuena stood in front of Xiao Se, leaning her upper body slightly forward, closing the distance until her face was almost touching Xiao Se's.
"Of course." With Gu Yuena so close, Xiao Se couldn't help but blush. He noticed that her skin seemed even more supple and radiant than a month ago. He then averted his gaze and changed the subject, "Long Kui, this is the Silver Dragon King, the sovereign of Spirit Beasts. She'll be our companion from now on. You can just call her Nana."
"Hello, Sister Nana." Long Kui gave a graceful bow.
"Hello." Gu Yuena responded simply, then continued to look at Xiao Se and asked sternly, "When did I say my name was Nana?"
"Last time I called you that, you didn't object, did you?" Xiao Se shrugged and continued, "I can't keep calling you Silver Dragon King all the time, can I? Like the Ice Dragon King, I gave her the name Ice Heart. I think from now on, you should just be called Gu Yuena!"
"Gu Yuena..." Gu Yuena murmured, finding the name surprisingly fitting. She then crossed her arms over her chest, turned her head away, and said in a cool voice, "As you wish."
"What a tsundere." Xiao Se chuckled and looked around. He noticed only Xiong Jun was there, so he asked, "By the way, where are Xian'er, Zhuqing, and Ice Heart?"
Gu Yuena said, "They went to the Sunset Forest, the former site of the Ice Fire Dragon Kings' fall. They should be back soon."
Xiao Se nodded, sat down with Long Kui, and closed his eyes to wait quietly.
Then Gu Yuena also found a clean spot and sat cross-legged. Occasionally, her gaze would sweep over Xiao Se, and she would gently stroke her flat belly.
This scene naturally did not escape the perception of Xiao Se and Long Kui, who had immense Soul power.
Long Kui sent a telepathic message to Xiao Se, "Brother, Sister Nana seems a bit off."
"I noticed it too." Xiao Se's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, Oh no, could it be? Just once and it took? I'll have to treat her better from now on.
Soon, a spatial rift tore open between the two, and Xiao Yi Xian, Zhu Zhuqing, and the Ice Dragon King stepped out of the void.
"Xiao Se, look what I've brought!" Xiao Yi Xian approached Xiao Se and raised her right hand, where a pale white light sphere materialized. Through the light curtain, a hot spring could be faintly seen, one part white and one part red, clearly distinct.
"How did you bring the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well here?" Xiao Se asked with a smile.
"Hehe, with this and the green liquid produced from your little bottle, we'll never lack medicinal herbs again." Xiao Yi Xian chuckled.
"As long as you're happy." Xiao Se smiled faintly, then swept his gaze over the girls: "Alright then, we should be going. Oh, and Zhuqing, didn't you want to go home and visit? I'll accompany you to the Star Luo Empire later."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a knowing smile. Zhu Zhuqing said, "I went with Xian'er half a month ago while you were in closed-door cultivation. Not only that, but I also persuaded them to side with the Spirit Empire. The Star Luo royal Family, the Dai Family, and several families loyal to the crown were all controlled by Xian'er's poison. By now, the Star Luo Empire is probably in the process of surrendering and completing the handover to the Spirit Empire."
"That's good." Xiao Se looked at them with some surprise, a hint of undisguised appreciation flashing in his eyes. It seemed he wouldn't have to make a wasted trip.
He didn't like war. It was best if fewer people died.
"Xiong Jun, I'll be taking Nana to the Fighting Qi Continent. For now, the Lake of Life is in your care." Xiao Se casually tossed out a scroll and a token engraved with the word'spirit': "This is a Profound Rank High Level metal-element Cultivation Technique suitable for you. You can switch to it. Also, if you encounter any humans from the Spirit Empire, try not to conflict with them. If there's trouble, just show the token, and they'll retreat on their own."
"Yes, Lord Xiao Se." Xiong Jun licked his lips and took the token and scroll respectfully. Clearly, since being revived, he had been coveting Cultivation Techniques from the Fighting Qi Continent for a long time.
"Long Kui, it's time to go." Xiao Se gestured for Long Kui to enter the magic sword pattern space on his right hand, then his figure flickered and shot up, heading toward the direction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Xiao Yi Xian, Zhu Zhuqing, Gu Yuena, and Ice Heart followed closely behind.
"Farewell, Your Majesty and Lord Xiao Se." Watching the disappearing figures of Xiao Se and the others, Xiong Jun bowed respectfully, then eagerly opened the scroll.
A moment later, Xiao Se and the five arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"DiscipleNing Rongrong greets Teacher and several Mistresses." As soon as they arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Rongrong approached them.
Her words instantly made the girls blush. Xiao Yi Xian and Zhu Zhuqing were fine since they had already confirmed their relationship, but Gu Yuena and Ice Heart were a bit embarrassed. After all, they were still in a cooperative relationship with Xiao Se.
"Rongrong, there's no need to call us mistresses. You can call me Zhuqing like before." Zhu Zhuqing approached Ning Rongrong and took her hand, then turned to Gu Yuena and Ice Heart, smiling, "And these two are not your mistresses yet; they are still in a cooperative relationship with Xiao Se."
"Ah?" Ning Rongrong looked embarrassed, her face turning red. She had thought all the beauties around Xiao Se were his wives, but it turned out there were exceptions.
