Chapter 346 The Road of Redemption is Long

Chapter 346 The Road of Redemption is Long

The rest of the trip took three weeks, and as they arrived at the town near the Spirit Land of the Yin Yang Unity Palace the previously tranquil small town turned into a lively bustling one in the middle of rapid growth.

The completely new district in the western part of the town was the just built headquarters of the Soaring Feather Trading Company, as well as the living quarters for the people who would be working there.

Wei Lan, Cao Xiang and Cao Mei came out to greet Wu Long as they felt him arrive from a distance.

He smiled and gave each of them a kiss, holding them in his hands.

"Greetings, I take it you are our new sisters. I am Wei Lan, a Grand Elder of the Yin Yang Unity Palace, though I assumed that position not long ago"

Wei Lan smiled at Sui Luxiao, Bi Rui and Yu Huan, the last of the three becoming flustered as she was counted among the 'new sisters'.

"I... I am... "

"Hahaha, the ones who I came back with are Rui'er and Luxiao, Lan'er. Fairy Yu Huan is the alchemist I have told you about"

Wu Long chuckled and gave an explanation as he still held Cao Mei, who he just greeted with a kiss, in his hands.

"Ah, pardon my negligence, Fairy Yu Huan. It is a great pleasure to meet such a brilliant alchemy master"

Wei Lan became flustered as well while Yu Huan looked down with slightly rosy cheeks. The Cao mother and daughter, as well as Wu Mengqi lightly laughed at the scene while Bi Rui shook her head with a sigh. Sui Luxiao, on the other hand, simply smiled.

"N-no problem, Grand Elder Wei. It is my fault as I was tagging along with Sister Rui to greet her new Dao Family"

There were still signs of being flustered in Yu Huan's demeanor. She had no problem dealing with one unfamiliar person, especially if it was a client, but she was fundamentally not very good with communication, especially with strangers as she preferred to spend her days locked up in her study, immersed in the Dao of Alchemy.

Meanwhile, slightly in the distance, Song Lingfei looked with widened eyes at the three beauties that showed up to greet Wu Long. It was obvious from their behavior that they were Wu Long's women, which made the Princess speechless.

Song Minfu knew how the world worked a little better than his daughter, but he was nevertheless almost as stunned as her at the sight. Though his astonishment was more due to the fact that all three of them were in the Foundation Building Realm, with Wei Lan even being at the peak, a step away from the Core Formation Realm. Such immense talents combined with their beauty would undoubtedly put them at the top of any force on the three continents, yet here they were all in one place.

At this moment, Cao Xaing came forward to break the awkwardness that Wei Lan found herself in and smiled.

"My name is Cao Xiang, I used to be-..."

"The P-Pirate Queen?!"

Bi Rui exclaimed as her jaw dropped from shock while Sui Luxiao widened her eyes. The latter was less surprised due to the fact that she already heard from Wu Long that she was one of his women, though did not expect this beauty that did not look as a savage to be the one known under that name. The former on the other hand was completely dumbfounded by the revelation that the infamous Pirate Queen was now part of the same Dao Family.

"Haha, it seems there is no need to bother explaining my origins, though I will add some information as we get closer"

Cao Xiang lightly laughed at the reaction, a little nervous and at the same time somewhat relieved. At this time Cao Mei approached them as well while Wu Long went to the side, taking out his communication jade and some communication talismans.

"Then this is..."

Sui Luxiao looked at the short haired beauty with the same hazel eyes as Cao Xiang, already knowing the answer, and the latter nodded with a gentle smile.

"Yes, this here is my daughter, Cao Mei"

Bi Rui and Sui Luxiao nodded to the Pirate Princess who smiled at them, and as the former started to open her mouth to start introducing herself, she froze at the same time as the latter.

""Eh?""

They both turned to Cao Mei again, and then to Cao Xiang. Their gazes then returned to Cao Mei, and they continued to alternate looking at the mother and daughter as a sudden realization hit them. Cao Xiang, Cao Mei, Wei Lan and Wu Mengqi wryly smiled as they could tell what their conundrum was.

"Y-You are... um... pardon me if I am wrong..."

Sui Luxiao carefully started, and Cao Mei nodded, smiling as she already guessed the question.

"Yes, I am Wu Long's woman. It somehow turned out this way, but now I feel that there is no other way this could be better"

"Eeeeeh?!?!?!"

She said with a shiny smile as the jaws of the two beauties dropped while Yu Huan finally caught up and loudly exclaimed in shock.

"Ahahaha"

Cao Xiang slightly awkwardly laughed at that reaction as she could tell where the alchemist was coming from.

"Khm, m-my apologies in being late to introduce myself. I am Bi Rui, used to be an Imperial Guard Captain"

Bi Rui returned to her senses first, continuing with the introductions. Sui Luxiao followed her lead next, dumbfounding Wei Lan this turn. All of which gave time to Yu Huan to calm down and greet the three beauties.

The ladies talked a little more when a young couple came from the direction of the sect.

Wu Long came up to them, as he was the one who summoned them out here. The two looked at him with determined expressions, and he smiled at them with a nod.

He turned to Sui Luxiao, who, upon noticing his gaze, returned it and saying a few words to others approached him, beckoning her youngest son to come near.

It was a rather short and dry meeting, during which Sui Feng knelt to the couple, begging their forgiveness. Xia Jung, in turn, requested a duel.

As Sui Luxiao became slightly flustered, Wu Long placed his hand on her shoulder, and she gradually relaxed.

Wu Long oversaw the duel between the two, which Xia Jung overwhelmingly won, giving his forgiveness after taking back the butterfly blade from the neck of Sui Feng, thus closing this chapter of their entanglement.

It was also the moment in which Sui Feng truly could start over, as he went to his brothers in tears.

Bit at this time, the middle son, Sui Mun, came forth to Wu Long, bowing to him.

"Mister Wu, I wanted to seek redemption as well. The last time, I have failed to be a worthy son to Mother. I wanted to ask if I have improved"

Wu Long looked at him, raising his brow.

"Do you truly wish to know?"

He asked, as the middle son raised his eyes with determination in them.

*Slap*

A resounding slap reverberated in the surroundings as Sui Mun unsightly tumbled through the snow.

"Haa~"

Wu Long sighed as he shook his head, and went toward Sui Luxiao who raised her hand to her mouth. She then sighed, shaking her head while thinking that her sons had a long way ahead of them still.

The two other brothers came to Sui Mun, helping him to stand.

"Was it no good after all?"

The eldest asked, and Sui Mun shook his head, his cheek red from the slap earlier.

"It seems I have to work even harder"

He said as a determination to improve himself filled him.

"No, not just you, we all need to work harder, you included, Feng. Don't think that just because you were forgiven by those you wronged it is over. We all have to work hard. The road to redemption is long"

The eldest of the brothers looked up with resolve, while the youngest nodded as well. A determination to redeem themselves and improve filling the three brothers while Wu Long lamented the failure of the theory once again.
