Celestial 'War God' Return

After three days, their mission at the Bone Ridge was finally completed. Tang Xiao and the others left the area to avoid the powerful beasts that lived there, and they looked for another place to rest, as it was already very late.

"How many missions are left?"

"Three." Fei Cangyu told Tang Xiao about the remaining three missions. "If all goes well, we can return to the sect in a week. After that, Yao Meiqing and I will go to the Yao Clan to meet her parents, and I will discuss our marriage with them."

"Okay." Tang Xiao nodded in understanding. "After we return to the sect, I will take them to the Taixu Kingdom to attend Chen Hongde and Su Xiulan’s wedding. So, when is your wedding with Yao Meiqing?"

Fei Cangyu smiled bitterly. "Our wedding date depends on our parents; I will tell you after they choose the date."

"Okay." Tang Xiao turned his head to Mu Yan, who was poking his waist. "What’s wrong, Yan’er?"

Mu Yan brought her face close to his ear. "Big Brother, tomorrow is my birthday, and I will be eighteen years old tomorrow."

"Hehe," Tang Xiao hugged her. "Are you impatient to be my wife, Yan’er?"

"Yes." Mu Yan nodded slightly. "I’ve been waiting for several months to be your wife, Big Brother."

Tang Xiao kissed her forehead. "I’ll take you as my wife after we return to the sect, okay?"

"You can’t go back on your word."

"I will never go back on my word." Mu Yan’s eyes beamed; she kissed Tang Xiao’s cheeks before going to clean her body. "What will happen if Qingge and Yan’er are in the same bed?"

"Why are you smiling to yourself?" Tang Xiao pulled Sun Xiang to sit on his lap, hugged her waist, and kissed her. "How is your relationship with my mother? Has there been any development between the two of you?"

Tang Xiao nodded. "The last time I saw your mother was three days ago, and she didn’t refuse when I kissed her. However, she hasn’t dared to move forward in our relationship, and she still needs a lot of time to think things over."

"At least my mother is no longer against our relationship." Sun Xiang leaned against his chest while holding his hands. "Honestly, I feel strange if I have to share you with my mother, but I feel that it is the best solution for all of us. That way, I will become your wife, and my mother will get out of her lonely life."

Tang Xiao lay his head on her shoulder. "Your mother has lived in loneliness and solitude for too long, so it’s time for her to look for new happiness. Even though I have several wives, including you, I am sure that I can give her a happy life."

"I already knew that; otherwise, I wouldn’t have decided to become your wife." Sun Xiang turned her head to the side. "I’m just confused about one thing."

"What are you confused about?"

"If my mother and I become your wife, I am confused about our future relationship, especially after we give birth to your children."

Tang Xiao was momentarily stunned when he heard that.

After all, Zhang Xingcai is Sun Xiang’s mother, and their future child will be her little sibling. On the other hand, his future child with Sun Xiang will be Zhang Xingcai’s first grandchild, which makes their relationship a little messy.

Sun Xiang shook her head helplessly. "Alright, you don’t need to think too much about it. We’ll have to adapt to the situation when the time comes."

"Yeah." Tang Xiao sighed. "Honestly, I want to have children with all of you, but I’m still not ready right now. This realm is our first step in the world of cultivation, but we won’t stay here forever, and we will go to higher realms in the future. We will meet many stronger cultivators there, and we will probably face much more dangerous situations, so I don’t want to have children yet."

"Me too." Sun Xiang leaned closer. "You haven’t even taken me as your wife yet, so I haven’t thought about having your child. Furthermore, my cultivation is still too low, and it’s difficult for me to protect myself. If I have a child now, my child will take up my time, and I’ll run out of time to cultivate."

Tang Xiao nodded slightly. "When we’re strong enough to protect ourselves, I’ll impregnate all of you, and we’ll have several children at that time."

"Yeah." Sun Xiang nodded in agreement. "What about your relationship with Situ Lingxi?"

"I met her mother and grandparents three days ago, and they don’t object to our relationship." Sun Xiang was quite surprised to hear that because the Situ Clan was one of the prominent clans in the Taixu Kingdom, and the queen of that kingdom came from that clan. "They want to meet you all, so I will take you to their clan to meet them."

"Are you sure it’s okay?" Sun Xiang’s tone was filled with worry. After all, they were ordinary people without status, and the Situ Clan was a royal clan.

"Don’t worry, okay?" Tang Xiao explained to her about the members of the Situ Clan. "I have never met Situ Zengyan and his two other wives, but Murong Xianyin and her parents-in-law are very nice, so I’m sure our meeting will go smoothly and warmly."

"I hope so," Sun Xiang sighed. "What if Situ Zengyan doesn’t approve of your relationship with Situ Lingxi?"

Tang Xiao shook his head. "Situ Lingxi never cared about Situ Zengyan’s opinion, and her grandparents will fully support her, so I don’t need to worry about her father. Instead of her father, I’m more worried about Situ Lingshan because she’s the queen of the Taixu Kingdom, and her opinion holds weight in the Situ Clan."

"Are you ready to meet Situ Lingshan?"

"Whether I’m ready or not, I still have to meet Situ Lingshan. Even if I’m worried about her, I won’t be afraid of facing her because her level is on par with Huangfu Lingxuan." Tang Xiao looked at Tang Yin, Xing Xing, and Mu Yan, who had just returned from cleaning up. "You guys should rest now. We’ll continue our journey early in the morning."

"Okay."

Meanwhile, Shangguan Qingyin and Song Zhentian were conversing in their royal chamber, discussing Huo Mianmian’s disappearance.

"Our subordinates reported that the Taixu Kingdom has increased security in their kingdom, so they can’t move freely there," Shangguan Qingyin said helplessly. "If Huo Mianmian returns to the Huo Clan, she will reveal everything to them."

"Do you think they have a way to remove the effects of the Forgetful Soul Elixir from her body?" Song Zhentian asked.

"Yes," Shangguan Qingyin nodded. "The Forgetful Soul Elixir is not permanent, and there is an antidote that can remove its effects from her body. She has been missing for three days, and I’m afraid that she is already free from its effects. Unfortunately, our subordinates haven’t been able to check on the Huo Clan, so they don’t know whether she has returned to her clan or not."

Song Zhentian sighed. "This matter is truly serious, Wife. If she recovers and returns to the Huo Clan, this matter will reach the ears of the Dugu Clan. If that happens, Dugu Jiuyou will mobilize his clan’s people to attack us, and our two clans will not be spared."

"I think Dugu Jiuyou wouldn’t dare attack us, husband." Song Zhentian raised an eyebrow in response to Shangguan Qingyin. "Did you forget that Xuanyuan Yueyao is in our palace now? She is Tianzun’s future, and Emperor Xuanyuan will support us, so I believe Old Dugu won’t dare do anything to us."

Song Zhentian nodded in agreement. "However, we can’t rely on Xuanyuan Yueyao and Emperor Xuanyuan, and we must resolve this matter quickly by capturing Huo Mianmian again."

"Yes," Shangguan Qingyin contacted their subordinates in the Taixu Kingdom, ordering them to find a way to infiltrate the Huo Clan as soon as possible. "Let’s sleep now."

.

Meanwhile, Shangguan Qingyue stood on the balcony of her room at the Shangguan Clan, her expression extremely tense. She couldn’t calm down because her clan members hadn’t yet found Huo Mianmian, and she was terrified that the woman would return to the Huo Clan, exposing her vile deeds.

Shangguan Qingyue tried to contact Dugu Cangxu again, but he didn’t dare tell her that Huo Mianmian was back. "Tch! He’s just a useless bastard! What should I do now? Should I go to the Taixu Kingdom myself to check out the situation?"

After thinking for some time, Shangguan Qingyue slipped away from the Shangguan Clan and used her flying artifact to go to the Taixu Kingdom. Even though Shangguan Qingyin had warned her not to go to that kingdom, she was still determined to go there.

Shangguan Qingyue stood at the front of her flying artifact. "No matter what happens, I have to find Huo Mianmian and bring her back."

Unfortunately, Shangguan Qingyue’s plan would never succeed because Tang Xiao had hidden Huo Mianmian inside the Primordial Divine Ark, and no one could enter it without his permission.

Morning came quickly; Tang Xiao led his group to their next mission location. They had been away from the sect for two weeks, so they couldn’t wait to return because they had to leave for the Taixu Kingdom soon.

In the forest, Cui Jing was already waiting for Tang Xiao’s clone and Ning Zhiya in front of the cave.

"Is she going with us?" Ning Zhiya asked, glancing at Cui Jing.

"She’s familiar with every area of ​​this forest, and she’s one of the three overlords here, so she’ll protect us from those beasts." Tang Xiao’s clone carried Ning Zhiya onto Cui Jing’s python head. "Let’s go now, Jing’er."
