Chapter 501: Seniors Concerns
Tang Huang no longer discussed Tang Xiao and Xuanyuan Yueyao’s relationship, and they enjoyed dinner while chatting lightly.
Xuanyuan Yueyao actively built communication with Tang Xiao’s family, especially Tang Yuan and Zhao Qing. Despite her status as Emperor Xuanyan’s niece, she was down-to-earth, making them feel relieved.
Since today was their first meeting, Huo Yan felt uncomfortable being in their midst. After dinner, she and Duanmu Jingjing immediately returned to the sect.
Unlike them, Xuanyuan Yueyao decided to stay behind; she wanted to build closer relationships with everyone in the residence. Some of the women returned to their rooms, while others accompanied her.
Tantai Lingyan did not return to the Nine Profound Sect; instead, she entered the ark to make preparations.
Meanwhile, Tang Xiao gathered with the four seniors, drinking wine. He looked at Mu Lin, who continued to laugh to himself. "Congratulations, Father-in-law. I’ve heard about my mother-in-law’s pregnancy from Qingge and Xing’er, and your second child will be born in the next few months."
"Hahaha," Zhang Fei laughed. "I didn’t expect you to have a second child at your age, Old Mu."
Mu Lin took a sip of the wine. "Compared to cultivators in this realm, my wife and I are not that old, right? Although Xuanyuan Yueyao looks younger than us, she is older than my wife."
"That’s right." Zhang Fei turned to Sun Quan. "Why don’t you two look for another wife?"
Sun Qian shook his head. "I already have a son, two daughters-in-law, and three grandchildren. Their presence is enough for me, and I will enjoy my old age while waiting for my grandchildren to give me great-grandchildren."
"I think the same as you, Old Sun." Zhang Fei looked at Tang Xiao. "Kid, we are waiting for you to impregnate Xiang’er, and the two of us will help you raise your child."
Tang Xiao smiled bitterly. "I will definitely impregnate Xiang’er, but I’m not ready to have children now. Moreover, you still have two grandsons, so you can ask them to give you grandchildren first."
"Hiss," Zhang Fei hissed. "They’re not even married yet, so how are they going to give me grandchildren?"
"Hahaha," Tang Xiao softly laughed. "There are so many beautiful women in this kingdom; you should ask them to go on a trip and have a look around. Who knows, they might find their soulmate later."
Zhang Fei could only shake his head. "What about you, Old Huang? Do you have any thoughts of getting married again?"
"Married? For what?" Tang Huang looked toward another direction. "I still have Yuan’er, remember? Xiao’er has many wives, and they will give me many grandchildren in the future."
"To accompany you in your old age, Grandpa." Tang Huang frowned at Tang Xiao. "You do have us, but we want your old age to be happy. If you have a wife by your side, your old age would surely be even happier. Do you want me to introduce you to a woman?"
"No need." Tang Huang waved his hand. "Instead of thinking about this old man, you should think more about your future. You will have six wives soon, and they will give birth to your children in the future, so you should prepare for their future from now on."
"Speaking of the future, I plan to go to the Misty Ridge four days after my wedding with Situ Lingxi."
Tang Huang, Sun Qian, Mu Lin, and Zhang Fei immediately focused their gazes on Tang Xiao.
"What kind of place is the Misty Ridge? Is that place very dangerous?"
"Too dangerous."
Tang Xiao took out a device and displayed the Misty Ridge, according to what Xuanyuan Yueyao had shown him a few days ago. He also explained several things to them, including other cultivators, beasts, demons, and treasures.
"I’ll go in there with my own team."
Tang Huang looked at his grandson with a serious look. "Are you going to take Yin’er and the others to that dangerous place? Who are the other members of your team?"
"At first, I didn’t plan to take them with me, but I changed my mind." Tang Xiao revealed the identities of his team members, which left them shocked. "I understand your worries, Grandpa. However, you must remember that danger is inseparable from a cultivator’s life, and it will make us stronger. Furthermore, several powerful seniors from the Taixu, Situ, and Xuanyuan Clans will be joining our group. Besides, I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve, so you don’t have to worry about us."
Sun Quan patted Tang Huang’s shoulder. "Old Huang, you must remember all of Xiao’er’s actions on Earth II. Back then, he was still a novice cultivator, yet he managed to accomplish things we couldn’t, and he was always cautious in all his actions."
"I agree with him, Old Tang." Mu Lin sipped his wine and continued. "If it weren’t for Xiao’er, we would have fallen into Xie Shun’s hands long ago, and we would probably be dead by now."
Zhang Fei looked at them. "Shall we join them?"
"I will join them," Tang Huang decided without a second thought. "Old Mu, your wife is pregnant, so you can’t join us."
Mu Lin smiled bitterly; he also wanted to go on an adventure, but he couldn’t leave Chu Lingxi and the fetus in her womb. "If the three of you want to go with Xiao’er, then go. I will stay here to accompany my wife and oversee our people."
"Good!" Tang Huang clasped his hands. "When and where will we depart from?"
"We will depart from this kingdom in a few days."
After hearing that, the three old men immediately stood up. "We will prepare ourselves first."
"Hey! Why are you three in such a hurry?" Tang Xiao shook his head. "You should go into the ark and take supplies from the treasury vault."
Sun Quan, Zhang Fei, and Tang Huang exchanged a brief glance before entering the ark.
Mu Lin shook his head. "When will Situ Lingxi and her family arrive here, Xiao’er?"
"I’ll pick them up tomorrow night." Tang Xiao stood up. "I’m going to see Xingcai first."
"Okay."

Zhang Xingcai, who was cultivating in her room, immediately opened her eyes the moment Tang Xiao entered. "Why are you here?"
"I missed you." Zhang Xingcai’s heart skipped a beat when she saw Tang Xiao’s smile. "Did you miss me, Xingcai?"
"I’m not." Zhang Xingcai turned her face to the side.
Tang Xiao immediately moved in front of her, pinned her on the bed, and kissed her.
Zhang Xingcai froze for a moment. She closed her eyes and kissed him back. They had kissed twice before, and her feelings for him had started to grow, so she didn’t refuse.
Tang Xiao didn’t do anything excessive, and he stopped kissing her a few moments later. He lay beside her, hugged her, and asked. "Has Xiang’er told you about the Misty Ridge?"
"Yes." Zhang Xingcai curled up in his embrace and breathed in his scent. "I can’t just stay idle like this; I need to improve myself, so I decided to join your group."
"Don’t worry, I will protect you all."
"I know."
Tang Xiao lifted her head and kissed her again. "I’ll take you around the city tomorrow."
"Do you need anything in the city?"
"Even though I have plenty of supplies in the Ark, I can’t afford to waste them, so I’ll use them for emergency situations."
"I see." Zhang Xingcai nodded in understanding. "If that’s the case, I’ll accompany you shopping tomorrow."
"Let’s sleep."
"Xiao’er."
"Hmm?"
"Nothing."
"What’s up?"
"Really nothing."
Tang Xiao could guess her thoughts, but he didn’t force her. He chose to wait until she was ready to open herself to him.

Liao Yexue looked at the sleeping Song Chenglin with a complex gaze. She didn’t know what was really going on with her, but she couldn’t control her lust, and she couldn’t stop herself from having sex with him.
Even after having sex since morning, Liao Yexue felt her lust remained unsatisfied. If not for her high cultivation, she would have died of exhaustion after such prolonged sex.
On the other hand, Song Chenglin’s cultivation was still low because he was too lazy to cultivate, and he fell asleep exhausted after having sex for hours.
Liao Yexue suppressed her surging lust, got out of bed, and got dressed.
After getting dressed, Liao Yexue glanced at the sleeping Song Chenglin for a moment. She cautiously left the room so as not to be seen by others. ’What actually happened to me? Why does my lust overflow every time I see him? If I continue like this, my husband will find out about our relationship, and he will definitely kill me.’

The next morning, Tang Xiao took Zhang Xingcai to the city after finishing their breakfast. Although his main purpose was to buy supplies, he also took her to other places to spend time together.
Mu Yan wanted to go with them, but her mother forbade her.
Mu Qingge had been friends with Zhang Xingcai for a long time, and she was familiar with her character. She knew her friend was beginning to open up to Tang Xiao, so she wanted to give them some time together.
As soon as Xuanyuan Yueyao left, Tang Yin and the others entered the ark to make their preparations.
After their discussion yesterday, Tang Yuan decided to join them on the trip to Misty Ridge. Although her cultivation wasn’t as high as Tang Huang and the other seniors, it was higher than Tang Yin and the others. Moreover, she hadn’t been on an adventure in a long time, and she was eager to try new challenges.

Because of their busy lives, the day passed without realizing it.
After bringing Zhang Xingcai back to their residence, Tang Xiao immediately went to the Taixu Kingdom to pick up Situ Lingxi and her family.
