Otherworldly-Cultivator

Zhao House

Meanwhile, Zhao Junye sat with Yun Mingyue, discussing about Long Jiuxiao's call earlier. "What do you think? Should I accept his offer to replace Xiao Xianglin?"

"No." Yun Mingyue replied with a shake of her head. "I know that becoming a bureau chief was your dream for a long time, but have you forgotten what happened with those families? And also about Qing'er's kidnapping not long ago? Moreover, you already knew about Xiao Xianglin's condition before she resigned, she would be dead by now if it wasn't for Li'er, so I don't want you to also suffer like her."

"All right, I will refuse his offer." Zhao Junye unhesitatingly agreed with his wife and directly contacted Long Jiuxiao to convey his decision.

Although Long Jiuxiao tried to persuade him, Zhao Junye did not budge on changing his decision, for his family was far more important to him.

"What happened? Why are you sighing like that, Jiuxiao?" Wang Yu asked him.

Long Jiuxiao told him directly. "Zhao Junye just contacted me and refused to replace Xianglin."

Xiao Yang was surprised to hear that, for he knew that Zhao Junye had always dreamed of taking his granddaughter's place, but he suddenly changed his mind. "In that case, we have no choice but to invite Xuanyuan Wan'er to come here, especially since there is no more suitable candidate than the two to replace Xianglin's position."

"Do you think that woman will accept the position?" Qin Feng suddenly asked them.

Long Jiuxiao shook his head at him. "Even if we invited Xuanyuan Wan'er here, I'm not sure she'll accept the position, but we can try talking to her first."

"All right, I'll contact her now." Xiao Yang said as he took out his smartphone and directly contacted Xuanyuan Wan'er, but he did not tell her of their decision, for he was sure she would reject him outright. "She's coming here tomorrow but seems a little angry that we disturbed her."

Long Jiuxiao and the others smiled bitterly after they heard that, for they had already expected that she would have such a reaction. "Anyway, all of you had better behave yourself when she comes tomorrow, especially you, Qin Feng."

Qin Feng raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean by that?"

"You are the most emotional among us, and Xuanyuan Wan'er isn't easy to deal with either." Wang Yu said as he walked out of the room. "Since it's already midnight, we should end here first, and I want to go home to rest."

Long Jiuxiao and the others also left the room, but Xiao Yang immediately contacted his granddaughter, for he felt that Xiao Xianglin was hiding some things from him.

[Grandpa, I will be moving somewhere else tomorrow morning, and I will send the address to you, so you can go directly to meet me there tomorrow.]

"All right, I'll see you tomorrow."

Elsewhere, Xiao Shijian, who had closed her eyes for a long time, finally woke up; she floated to the side of her bedroom window and looked up at the sky. "Old friend, I can feel that our old connection is starting to return, but it seems you still can't remember things clearly."

Xiao Shijian then moved her little fingers, and many images appeared in the sky, and she smiled sweetly, looking at all the memories. "Billions of years have passed since your death, and you have also gone through so many reincarnations, but you can never return to being who you were completely. However, I am sure you will be able to return to being the complete Long Wang in your reincarnation this time, and we will be able to be together again like in the past."

Soon, all those images disappeared, and Xiao Shijian returned to bed. "Wait for me, Old Friend. My strength has almost recovered, and I will go to your side afterward."

At dawn, Chen Li opened his eyes and tried to recall all the memories that had appeared in his mind before. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember all those memories. 'Sigh, I still have to wait for all those memories to return to me completely.'

[Chen Li, you can go to Shu Yan's shop later; she might have some herbs I can use to make the pill for you.]

"All right, I will go to meet Shu Yan later."

[Anyway, Liu Zhen is already a cultivator, and I've sent him out of the Tianyi Realm.]

"That's good." Chen Li replied as he nodded. "Then what about Shen Qing and Zhao Ying? Have they not come out of their seclusion yet?"

[Not yet, the two girls seem eager to increase their cultivation, and I don't know when they will come out. Oh, one more thing, Keiko was looking for you when you were sleeping, but she has now also entered into seclusion.]

"Why was Keiko looking for me?"

[I don't know, Keiko didn't tell me about that, so you can ask her yourself after she comes out of seclusion.]

"All right then, I will ask Keiko later." Chen Li then turned to his wife, who was still fast asleep, and he decided to accompany her to sleep again.

In the morning, Feng Xian'er opened her eyes and looked at her husband with a sweet smile, but she felt something strange was happening to her, for she couldn't remember everything that happened after she started her awakening process.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Chen Li asked as he opened his eyes.

Feng Xian'er immediately lay down on top of her husband and asked seriously. "What happened to me last night? I don't remember anything after I lost consciousness."

Chen Li sighed in his heart and told her everything about the action of the werewolves kidnapping Liu Ying and the Dongfang Twins, plus the appearance of Jiu Feng and the Phoenix. However, he did not tell his wife about how the werewolves died, and he said to her that he was the one who killed them.

"Fortunately, you managed to save Sister Ying and the others before they could do anything to them, Hubby." Feng Xian'er said as she breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression turned sad. "Sigh, I didn't expect my old self to appear last night, but I still can't remember anything about her."

"It's fine; you will definitely remember everything soon." Chen Li then told his wife. "Anyway, Uncle Liu is already a cultivator now."

"That's good." Feng Xian'er nodded smilingly after hearing that; she got down and pulled her husband. "Let's dual cultivate in the bathroom, Hubby."

Chen Li laughed softly after hearing that, and he followed his wife into the bathroom, but they did not dual cultivate for long because they had to return to Beijing.

Sometime later, Chen Li and others were already at the airport, and Su Mengyao said to him. "Big Bad Gege! Early this morning, a person from my management contacted me; she said that Liang Xijian has decided to resign as my manager and is looking for someone else to replace his position."

"Oh?" Chen Li was surprised to hear that, but he then rubbed Su Mengyao's head. "Isn't that great? Since that guy resigned, you can be a little freer now."

"Hehe." Su Mengyao giggled at that. "That's true, but I don't know who will replace him yet, and I hope the new guy won't act like him. If he's no different from Liang Xijian, you have to help me get rid of him, okay?"

"All right." Chen Li nodded to her. "Since you are my fiancé now, I will help you if that person acts like Liang Xijian."

On the other hand, the Dongfang Twins looked terrible, especially after Feng Xian'er told them that the werewolves kidnapped them last night, and they didn't even notice because they were too tired.

"Xue! We have to train harder; I don't want what happened last night to happen again." Dongfang Hanyue said with a serious look.

Dongfang Hanxue nodded to her. "En, you are right. We must train to become stronger, or we will continue burdening Little Chen later."

Chen Li said to them. "You two are my closest people, so I will protect you."

"No!" The Dongfang Twins shouted at him as they shook their heads.

Dongfang Hanxue then said to him. "Little Chen, there are so many people by your side, and you can't continue to protect us, so we must be able to protect ourselves."

"Xue is right, Little Chen." Dongfang Hanyue said as she nodded. "Moreover, I'm used to protecting you, so I don't want the situation to reverse."

Chen Li smiled, hearing them. "All right, you can train inside more often later, so you can get stronger quickly."

Although Liu Ying didn't say anything, the Dongfang Twins' words also motivated her to become stronger, for she felt angry at herself because she couldn't do anything when Vienna kidnapped her last night.

Meanwhile, Chen Wei'er smiled, seeing her best friend standing at the door of the Qingshui Mansion, and she immediately pulled her inside. "I'm glad you decided to stay with us, Xianglin."

Xiao Xianglin then told her. "Anyway, I resigned from the bureau yesterday, and I will focus on taking care of the Qingshui Security Company later."

"That's great! I'm glad you're finally free from the clutches of those people." Chen Wei'er replied as she nodded in satisfaction, and she then brought Xiao Xianglin to the 3rd floor to organize her things.
