"That's great!" Li Xiaonan said, but her expression quickly turned cold. "How can I face the Mother of the Mountain in this state..."
"Stop with the nonsense and come with me," Yun Moyu insisted, pulling Li Xiaonan along as they flew out.
Ling Kui shook his head with a smile; everything seemed to return to its original state, except for the fact that Li Xiaonan's cultivation had mysteriously vanished.
"Can you fly a bit slower? I have a fear of heights..."
"Stop pretending. I can already sense Mother; I see her just ahead!"
"Mother." Upon seeing Yun Yiluo, Yun Moyu abruptly released Li Xiaonan's hand and excitedly leaped into her embrace.
Li Xiaonan pouted, feeling a pang of jealousy.
Fortunately, they had already landed; otherwise, she might have ended up as a pile of mush...
Yun Yiluo smiled as she ruffled Yun Moyu's hair, but her gaze fell on Li Xiaonan. "It's been a while since I've seen you, kid. You haven't made any progress at all. At least before, you knew to greet people. Now look at you—no basic manners whatsoever!"
Yun Moyu shot a reproachful glance at Li Xiaonan.
Li Xiaonan chuckled awkwardly and said, "Xiao Nan has met the Mother of the Mountain. Mother of the Mountain, please come with me to Cloud Sky Pavilion to rest!"
Yun Yiluo frowned slightly. "Cloud Sky Pavilion? What is your relationship with Yun Xinghe?"
Li Xiaonan was taken aback and exclaimed, "Mother of the Mountain knows my older brother? That's wonderful!"
"Mother, let's go quickly," Yun Moyu said as she pulled Yun Yiluo into the air.
Li Xiaonan jumped anxiously on the ground, "Mo Yu, wait for me! Take me with you!"
"Oh dear, I forgot," Yun Moyu replied, sticking out her tongue as a white ribbon wrapped around Li Xiaonan.
Suddenly, Li Xiaonan found himself like a kite hanging in the air, his arms crossed over his chest, looking quite sullen.
Yun Yiluo asked in confusion, "Mo Yu, what's wrong with him?"
"I don't know; anyway, right now he's just a celestial being without Celestial Energy!"
Yun Yiluo nodded and changed the subject, "You know Yun Xinghe too!"
"Of course I do. That guy is so annoying. But he often goes into seclusion, so I don't see him much. Don't worry, Mother; I won't let that guy bother you!"
Li Xiaonan hanging in the air protested, "Don't talk about my brother like that! He's a good person!"
"I'm not saying he's a bad person. If you keep interrupting my chat with Mother, I'll throw you down!"
"Hmph! You're murdering your own husband! You think I'm bothering you? Why did you have to take me along?"
"Because I want to fly a kite," Yun Moyu said nonchalantly.
Li Xiaonan was about to lose it. After finally making up his mind to return from Earth, not only was he without Golden Yuan Power, but he was also constantly bullied by the girls.
It seemed that after being suppressed for so long recently, all sorts of little demons from the girls had come out to play.
After a while, the three of them arrived in the courtyard.
"Vice Master, this is the newly refined Great Pill of Rejuvenation. You should try it and see if it works," Mei Chunhui said as he ran over to Li Xiaonan, holding a jade vial.
Li Xiaonan nodded and swallowed the entire vial of elixir in one go, which truly startled Yun Yiluo.
Yun Moyu immediately reassured her, "Mother, it's fine. Xiao Nan has always eaten like this!"
"Burp..." Li Xiaonan let out a satisfied belch and shook his head. "No reaction... Oh right, how's business lately?"
"Thanks to you, our performance is better than ever. However, Golden Jade Good Fortune's business remains strong!"
Li Xiaonan nodded and said, "No rush. What about Big Brother? Is he still in seclusion in the cave?"
Mei Chunhui nodded.
Li Xiaonan pouted and remarked, "That place is quite cold. Why doesn't he choose a different location?"
He turned to Yun Moyu and said, "Alright, Mo Yu, take me to Northern Peak!"
"No way," Yun Moyu flatly refused.
"Is Yun Xinghe at Northern Peak? I'll take you there; I also want to meet the owner of Cloud Sky Pavilion," Yun Yiluo said coldly.
Li Xiaonan laughed and said, "Mother of the Mountain is indeed righteous!"
Just as he finished speaking, he realized something important.
Yun Yiluo seemed quite familiar with her elder brother. Did they know each other? But when did they meet?
Li Xiaonan scratched his head, a thought flickering in his mind, yet he couldn't grasp it clearly.
Yun Yiluo grabbed the back of Li Xiaonan's collar and flew all the way up to Northern Peak.
The North Wind howled, and ice particles stung his face painfully.
Li Xiaonan rubbed his face and said, "My elder brother is inside!"
Yun Xinghe frowned slightly as he heard the noise at the door.
This younger brother of mine really doesn’t give me a moment’s peace, seems like he brought someone along.
He forced himself to focus and opened his eyes, and Yun Yiluo's stunning face instantly came into view.
He was taken aback. "Yun Yiluo... you ascended too!"
Yun Yiluo nodded, her tone cold. "I suppressed it for a hundred years to avoid coming to the Celestial Realm, but unfortunately, fate is hard to defy. In the end, I couldn't hold it back. I didn't expect to hear news of you as soon as I arrived in the Celestial Realm. Isn’t that ironic?"
"Yun Yiluo... I..."
Yun Yiluo shook her head, interrupting him. "Don't worry, I'm not here to cling to you. I just came to see if you were dead or not!"
Guitar, Earth, Yun Xinghe, Yun Yiluo.
Li Xiaonan suddenly slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Elder brother, so the owner of that guitar is you! No way! So the girl you mentioned who you saved before and had a good relationship with is Mo Yu's mother!"
Yun Xinghe frowned slightly as he glanced at Yun Moyu, his inner thoughts racing: No wonder this girl looks so familiar; she is her daughter.
"Mother, didn't you say the guitar was left by Father? Then he..." Yun Moyu pointed at Yun Xinghe in panic.
Li Xiaonan's mouth fell open. It was over; she had spoken out of turn and seemed to have said something she shouldn't have.
I should have realized it earlier. The guitar, the guitar from Earth. My brother's surname is Yun, and Mo Yu also shares that surname. Does this mean I should start calling him Father-in-law?
This relationship is quite unpleasant...
Yun Xinghe's pupils constricted sharply, his heart racing erratically. He suppressed the discomfort in his chest and asked, "She is our daughter!"
Yun Yiluo chuckled lightly, her expression cold as she replied, "She is my daughter, not ours. Her biological father has been dead for a long time. Cloud Master, starting today, I will live here with my daughter. I hope you can eat well, sleep soundly, and remain free of illness and pain so that you may protect us orphans."
With that, she turned and walked outside. Yun Moyu stomped her foot in frustration and hurried after Yun Yiluo.
Li Xiaonan frowned and said, "Brother... I think I said something wrong. Um, does this mean I should start calling you Father-in-law now...?"
Yun Xinghe suddenly snapped back to reality, climbing off the icy bed and urgently called out, "Wait, Yun Yiluo—"
A mouthful of dark red blood suddenly spewed from his lips as he clutched his chest and collapsed to the ground.
Li Xiaonan gasped in shock, bending down anxiously. "Brother, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"
"Help... help me... chase..."
Li Xiaonan clenched her fists tightly and rushed out of the cave. Just as she was about to exit, her left foot tripped over her right, causing her to fall flat on her face. She looked up just in time to see the Yun mother and daughter flying down the mountain.
The snow continued to fall, and the North Wind howled, chilling Li Xiaonan's heart.
He angrily ran back into the cave, only to find Yun Xinghe lying in a pool of blood, his eyes tightly shut and his body cold.
A shock ran through him as he shouted, "Big Brother, wake up! Big Brother!"
This was bad.
Li Xiaonan clenched his fists in frustration. Although he had no Golden Yuan Power at that moment to assess Yun Xinghe's condition, it was clear to anyone with eyes that Yun Xinghe was close to death.
Moreover, he was the only one on Snow Ridge; there was no one to call for help.
"Big Brother, you can't die! I'm taking you down the mountain right now; you mustn't die!"
Li Xiaonan hoisted the unconscious Yun Xinghe onto his back, tightly binding him with a strip of cloth before slowly making his way down the steep mountainside.
Fortunately, his physical condition had not changed, and he managed to reach the bottom of the mountain without incident. As he ran toward the main hall of Cloud Sky Pavilion, he shouted, "Everyone come out! Damn it, where is everyone? Get out here! Big Brother is dying; hurry up!"
Mei Chunhui was the first to rush out. He looked at Yun Xinghe, whose silver hair was stained with blood, and exclaimed, "Master! What happened to Master?"
"I don't know! Ancestor, quickly gather everyone! Bring out all the life-saving pills you have!"
Li Xiaonan untied the cloth binding Yun Xinghe and carefully laid him flat on the ground in the courtyard.
Mei Chunhui grabbed Yun Xinghe's wrist with one hand and fell back onto the ground in shock, muttering to himself, "How... how could this happen..."
"What’s going on? Just tell me!" Li Xiaonan was nearly frantic but faced a hesitant Mei Chunhui.
“Master, your lifespan has come to an end, and there is nothing we can do…”
“No, that can't be! How could an immortal die? How could their life be over? Brother, brother, please wake up and tell me!”
“Xinghe.” Yun Yiluo also heard Li Xiaonan's cries and rushed out.
Though she spoke those heartless words, she had never truly let go of Yun Xinghe in her heart.
He was her first man and the last man of her life.
She hurried to his side, carefully wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with her pure white sleeve, her eyes already filled with mist.
Yun Moyu stood behind Yun Yiluo, stunned and unable to believe what was happening.
Li Xiaonan furrowed her brows and said, “The Great Rejuvenation Pill, Ancestor, where is the Great Rejuvenation Pill? First, let’s extend Brother’s life, then gather everyone from the Mei Family for a meeting. There must be a way!”
Mei Chunhui frowned tightly and sighed. She turned her palm over and handed a jade vial to Li Xiaonan, wiping her eyes before striking a gong as she flew toward the Assembly Hall.
Li Xiaonan took a deep breath and poured out a pill. The rich fragrance of the medicine filled the air. She handed the pill to Yun Yiluo. “Please help Brother take this pill, Mother of the Mountain!”
Yun Yiluo nodded, placing the pill in her mouth and using her Celestial Energy to catalyze it, passing it over to him.
Yun Xinghe coughed lightly, furrowing his brow as he slowly opened his eyes.
“Yun Yiluo… Moyu… is she…” His gaze drifted toward Yun Moyu as he gasped for breath.
“Yes, she is our daughter. Xinghe, don’t speak. You must get better; you owe so much to us both. You can’t just leave us like this!”
"Ha ha... Heaven has not treated me poorly; in the end, I still got to see you all... It was worth it... all of it..."
Yun Yiluo shook his head repeatedly, already in tears.
"Xiao Nan..." Yun Moyu said, his eyes red as he looked at him.
"Take good care of your brother. No matter how many faults he has, he is still your father. I will find a way; you can rest assured..."
Li Xiaonan finally understood that the only possibility for Yun Xinghe to suddenly exhaust his lifespan was one thing.
Yun Xinghe had forcibly torn through space to bring the women to his side and then returned with them, which must have taken an immense toll on him.
In the end, Yun Xinghe's condition was because of her.
Li Xiaonan glanced at Yun Xinghe and said, "Brother, if you die, I will feel guilty for a lifetime. Before I find a solution, just stay alive for me!"
Li Xiaonan slowly stood up, fists clenched tightly as she ran towards the Assembly Hall.
