?
Long Qingxuan rushed forward, her eyes brimming with tears of joy. "Mom!" she exclaimed, embracing Long Xi tightly.
Long Xi returned her daughter's embrace, her heart overflowing with love and relief. She had been given a second chance at life, and she would cherish every moment of it.
As the three of them basked in the afterglow of the healing, Long Xi's gaze returned to Yun Lintian. Her eyes, once filled with weariness, now sparkled with newfound clarity.
"You should stay here for the time being," Long Xi said softly.
"Understood," Yun Lintian nodded weakly.
"Take him to your room," Long Xi patted her daughter's back gently.
Long Qingxuan quickly parted from her mother's embrace and supported Yun Lintian out of
the hut.
"How is it?" Long Xuan quickly stepped forward and asked expectantly.
Before Yun Lintian could reply, Long Xi's voice resounded from within the hut. "Come in. Do not disrupt a young couple."
Long Qingxuan smiled and led Yun Lintian away.
Long Xuan was ecstatic but he didn't dare to go in. He was afraid his natural deathly aura would harm her.
"Have you forgotten about me?" Long Xi asked softly.
"I..." Long Xuan stuttered.
"Then let me see your face." Long Xi said.
Long Xuan hesitated briefly and then walked into the room.

"Thank you, Husband," Long Qingxuan said softly as she placed Yun Lintian on the bed. Her eyes filled with endless tenderness.
Yun Lintian smiled weakly. "Why are you being polite with me again?" he asked and reached out to hug her. "I miss you so much."
He still didn't know why he felt as if he had been away for a very long time.
Long Qingxuan raised her head on his chest and closed her eyes. "I miss you too."
Yun Lintian, his body and spirit exhausted, smiled and closed his eyes. The warmth of Long Qingxuan's presence was a comforting balm to his weary soul. His mind then gradually drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, Yun Lintian woke up naturally. It was the best sleep he had in a while. The first thing that came to his senses was the food aroma. He tilted his head to look at the living room and saw Long Qingxuan walk out of the kitchen with a few delicacies.
"Morning, Husband," Long Qingxuan smiled gently as she saw him.
"Morning," Yun Lintian slowly got up from the bed and walked to the living room.
"Go wash your face," Long Qingxuan pushed him towards the backyard.
"Oh." Yun Lintian walked to the backyard and took a deep breath while appreciating the beautiful scenery. He suddenly felt that this was the life he had yearned for.
After freshening up, Yun Lintian returned to the living room and sat down, looking at the delicacies on the table.
"Looks delicious," he said with a smile.
Long Qingxuan handed him a pair of chopsticks and said, "I don't know if it's good."
Yun Lintian picked up a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into his mouth. The sweet and salty flavor immediately exploded in his mouth.
"It's delicious," he gave her a thumbs up.
"I'm glad you like it," Long Qingxuan smiled sweetly.
As the meal went on, she asked, "What's your next plan, Husband?"
Yun Lintian swallowed a mouthful of rice and said, "Honestly, I don't know. I originally planned to look for the other inheritors as Senior Tian suggested, but I have no idea how to find them. Maybe I should visit the Celestial Realm."
It had been a long time since Master Bai and Yang Chen went to the Celestial Realm. He didn't know how they were doing right now. Perhaps they had already met with the inheritor of the Sun God.
Long Qingxuan thought for a moment and said, "There's no news from Senior Lin. I don't know where she is right now."
Yun Lintian suddenly remembered that Lin Yitong went out to search for the Primordial Gods' inheritors for a long time now.
"Nothing should happen to her," he spoke. "Right. She seems to have left something behind."
Yun Lintian thought of a way to contact her that she left for him. Without thinking further, he concentrated his mind and tried to contact her.
A moment later, Lin Yitong's voice resounded from the other side. "Where are you right now?" her voice filled with urgency.
Yun Lintian's expression changed slightly. "I'm inside the Dragon God Realm. What's happening, Senior?"
"Listen to me carefully. The inheritor of the God of Darkness has joined hands with the Primordial God Tribe. They are now planning to invade the Divine Realm again," Lin Yitong spoke solemnly.
Yun Lintian exchanged surprised glances with Long Qingxuan.
"Moreover, I found out that the inheritor of the Star God had been killed by the leader of the Primordial God Tribe. From the clues I got, this person is likely to be the inheritor of the God of Mortals. You are also their top target," Lin Yitong said further.
Yun Lintian's expression turned solemn as he spoke, "It is indeed the inheritor of the God of Mortals. His name is Fan Shen. You must come back now, Senior. He has the power of time. If I guess correctly, he must be trying to refine the power of the Star God right now."
"You know it already?" Lin Yitong asked.
"Yes. Long story short, we must stick together now. If possible, we must recruit the remaining Primordial God's inheritors to our side or at least give them a warning," Yun
Lintian said.
"How could he do it?" Lin Yitong was shocked. She had never heard such a thing before. Someone could actually absorb the power of the other Primordial Gods.
"I have no idea as well," Yun Lintian responded. "Aside from this, have you found the
others?"
"I found another clue. Apparently, Yao Xi is the inheritor of the God of Light. However, her whereabouts are unknown," Lin Yitong said solemnly.
Yun Lintian was stunned. "Are you sure, Senior?" he asked attentively.
"I'm quite sure. It's hard to explain at the moment but she is indeed the one. This is perhaps
the reason she can suppress the inheritor of the God of Darkness back then," Lin Yitong
replied.
Yun Lintian immediately thought of the Devil Valley. It was no wonder the Beyond Heaven
King could imprison Yao Huang inside for many years.
"I'm going back now," Lin Yitong said. "Let's meet in the Divine Realm."
"Be careful on the way, Senior," Yun Lintian said and hung up.
He looked at Long Qingxuan and said, "We will go back to the Divine Realm after treating
Senior Dragon Ancestors."
