After hearing his words, everyone was very happy and said, "It won't be long before our whole family can reunite."
Soon after, they had someone bring a new television. As Dongfang Hao watched the content on the screen, he felt a sense of novelty, and all his previous unease and doubts vanished.
The next day, Yingqi went back to the forbidden area to search through those ancient books. However, he searched through all the ancient texts but could not find the latter half.
After not finding it once, he searched a second time, then a third... He searched more than ten times in total but still found nothing.
That night, he decided not to go home and continued searching in the forbidden area, pondering deeply, but still without results.
By the next day, he still hadn't found a feasible method. Exhausted in body and mind, he had no choice but to return home for now.
When Luo Bingbing and the others saw his expression, they knew he hadn’t found a way to obtain the latter half. However, they did not appear too disappointed because they understood that Yingqi had done his best, so they wouldn’t blame him at all.
"Grandpa, it's okay. We can take our time searching; maybe the timing just isn't right yet!"
As soon as Luo Bingbing finished speaking, Yijun Che chimed in, "Yes! Grandpa, don't you always say that everything depends on fate? Perhaps this fate just hasn't arrived yet!"
Hearing their words brought some comfort to Yingqi, and he stopped overthinking. He also realized his eagerness for quick results and recognized that he had been somewhat hasty.
In just one day, Dongfang Hao became fascinated with the television. Through its content, he gained a deeper understanding of this world and was amazed by this future world.
Therefore, when he saw Yingqi's expression soften considerably, he immediately said to him, "Grandpa, come over and watch TV with us; relax a bit!"
With a slight smile, Yingqi walked over to join them in watching television.
After this "disappointment," Yingqi no longer rushed for quick results or acted impulsively. He returned to his previous mindset of focusing on research and sensing carefully.
Meanwhile, Luo Bingbing and Dongfang Hao waited patiently for the results of his research and for the arrival of the child within her.
Every day, Dongfang Hao would accompany Luo Bingbing until she naturally woke up, then personally prepare breakfast for her and feed it to her. After breakfast, he would carefully prepare a variety of fruits, ensuring that each day's selection was different.
Needless to say, he would hold Little One in his arms and feed her the fruits piece by piece.
Although lunch and dinner were prepared by the household servants, Dongfang Hao still took the time to select some meals for Little One and asked the servants to prepare them.
Luo Tianyou and the others noticed that Dongfang Hao never allowed their precious one to reach for anything on her own and always took great care of her. They couldn't help but feel happy that their beloved had found such an excellent husband.
Gradually, they accepted Dongfang Hao and no longer held any grudges against him.
Yijun Che's mother, who was also Luo Bingbing's aunt, observed how Dongfang Hao cared for Luo Bingbing and often remarked that her husband should learn from the younger generation.
Everyone would chuckle at this, while the subject of the comment would excuse himself, claiming he had matters to attend to in his room. Over time, everyone realized this was just a way for him to avoid the conversation.
However, after a few months, Dongfang Hao had learned quite a bit about this modern world. At this point, he began to worry about the world they had left behind.
Although he didn't show it outwardly, Luo Bingbing could sense it. Previously, everyone had avoided discussing Ivyah living alone in that world to prevent Dongfang Hao from feeling burdened. He had been curious about this new world all along.
Thus, no one brought up matters concerning that world.
As soon as she reached the doorway, Luo Bingbing saw Dongfang Hao gazing up at the ceiling with a worried expression. She immediately understood that he was missing the ancient world again.
Lost in thought, Dongfang Hao suddenly caught a whiff of Little One's scent in the air. He quickly turned around and upon seeing Little One at the door, his face broke into a smile. He hurried over and carefully helped Little One into the room.
"Honey, are you worried about that ancient world?"
Not wanting her to worry about him, Dongfang Hao quickly shook his head and said, "No! I was just looking at the sky to see if it might rain today."
After hearing his words, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but feel a bit angry. She looked directly at him and asked, "Honey, do you think your little thoughts can be hidden from me?"
Knowing that he couldn't hide anything from the Little One in front of him, Dongfang Hao had no choice but to speak the truth. "Wife, although I know that Mommy will manage the Silver Moon Kingdom well, I'm worried that Master and the others will go looking for us. If they disturb those in the martial world, then the Demon Palace and Ghost Gate will be in danger."
Gently patting his hand, Luo Bingbing said to him, "Honey, don't worry! I believe Master will handle it well. Don't forget, when I appeared back then, he knew right away. Moreover, with Master's cultivation level, he probably knew we had just disappeared. Besides, isn't Grandpa researching a way to bring us back to ancient times?"
After hearing her words, Dongfang Hao's uneasy heart gradually calmed down. He then accompanied Luo Bingbing to rest on the bed.
Luo Bingbing's guess was completely correct. That night when they left, he arrived at Prince Luo's Residence, only a little later than they did.
It turned out that when Luo Bingbing became pregnant, a faint Purple Star appeared in the sky, nestled between the Emperor Star and Otherworldly Phoenix Star.
Upon seeing this, Xuan Ye immediately detected a change. However, he couldn't figure out what the specific change was.
What he could confirm was that the sudden appearance of the Purple Star must be related to Luo Bingbing and Dongfang Hao. Without hesitation, he packed his things and set off to find them.
During his journey, the light of the Purple Star grew brighter and even seemed to overshadow the Emperor Star and Otherworldly Phoenix Star. Seeing how bright the Purple Star was shining made him quicken his pace.
However, as soon as he arrived in Silver City, the Purple Star suddenly vanished along with the Emperor Star and Otherworldly Phoenix Star.
Upon seeing that the Otherworldly Phoenix Star had disappeared, he immediately thought to himself: "Not good, Bing'er and Dongfang Hao have gone to the future world."
Thus, he hurried straight to the palace. Once there, he went directly to find Ivyah and informed her that Luo Bingbing and Dongfang Hao had already gone to the future world.
Ivyah was shocked upon hearing this and immediately asked, "Master Xuan Ye, are you saying they went to the Twenty-First Century?"
Nodding slightly, Xuan Ye slowly replied, "Yes, it should be. Before Old Man entered the palace, he saw that the Purple Star and Otherworldly Phoenix Star as well as Emperor Star suddenly disappeared from the sky. The Emperor Star is Dongfang Hao; the Otherworldly Phoenix Star is Bing'er; and that Purple Star appeared not long ago. Old Man doesn't know who it is yet but can be sure that this person is around Dongfang Hao and Bing'er."
After a moment of contemplation, Ivyah said, "Could it be that Bing Bing is pregnant with a child?"
"Yes, that seems likely. Perhaps it was his sudden appearance that caused Bing'er to return to the future world early," Xuan Ye replied. As soon as he finished speaking, Ivyah immediately asked, "Does that mean they won't come back?"
"According to ancient texts and my previous speculations, Bing'er’s connection to this world is not yet severed, and Dongfang Hao originally belongs to this time and space. Therefore, they will definitely return."
Hearing this, Ivyah felt a slight sense of relief.
Suddenly, she thought of a serious issue: with Luo Bingbing and Dongfang Hao gone, what would happen to the Silver Moon Dynasty?
But this concern was clearly not something she needed to worry about, as Xuan Ye had already considered it when he arrived.
He turned to Ivyah and said, "Although Bing'er and Dongfang Hao have left, the Silver Moon Dynasty cannot be neglected, nor can we let outsiders know they are not in this world. We must inform Lo An Lord of the situation to prevent any chaos."
Upon hearing this, Ivyah immediately responded, "Today is Luo Wenhan's wedding day; he should still be at Prince Luo's Residence. I will send someone to invite him to the palace."
"No," Xuan Ye interrupted. "Since today is Luo Wenhan's wedding day, there will surely be many people at Prince Luo's Residence. With so many people around, it could lead to gossip. I think it's best if I go personally to bring him here."
With that, he swiftly left Ivyah's palace and headed directly to Lo An Lord's chamber.
As soon as Lo An Lord sensed his presence while in a deep sleep, he woke up with a start and leaped up. Upon seeing his aggressive stance, Xuan Ye quickly said, "It's me, Xuan Ye."
Hearing his voice, Lo An Lord relaxed his guard and asked, "Master Xuan Ye, what brings you here? I thought it was..." He didn't finish his sentence, but Xuan Ye had already guessed what he was implying.
Xuan Ye then directly informed him about Luo Bingbing and Dongfang Hao leaving this world. However, Lo An Lord found this hard to believe and thought Xuan Ye was joking. He insisted that Luo Bingbing and Dongfang Hao were resting at Piaoyun Pavilion in Prince Luo's Residence.
Seeing that he did not believe him, Xuan Ye had no choice but to take him to Luo Bingbing's room for confirmation.
Soon after, the two of them headed straight to the Piaoyun Pavilion to find Luo Bingbing. However, before they could reach Luo Bingbing's door, Shadowless suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Your Highness, Old Master, the master has already gone to bed. If you have any matters to discuss, please come back tomorrow," Shadowless said. As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Ye quickly replied, "Shadowless, are you sure your master is still in the room?"
Upon hearing his words, Shadowless felt a wave of confusion. After a moment of concentration, he immediately said to Xuan Ye, "Old Master, you knew the master had returned to the palace long ago, didn't you?"
Xuan Ye shook his head slightly and frowned. "I'll tell you about it later." After saying this, he turned to Lo An Lord beside him and said, "Lord An, please go in and take a look."
Having heard Shadowless's words, Luo Bingbing's heart began to waver. However, he still found it somewhat absurd and stubbornly walked into the room to check.
As soon as Lo An Lord saw the empty bed, he furrowed his brows. At that moment, he completely believed Xuan Ye's words.
Thus, he quickly turned around and exited the room, following Xuan Ye to the palace. Shadowless accompanied them back as well. Just as they were leaving, Miyazawa appeared and ultimately joined them on their way back to the palace.
Xuan Ye knew that Shadowless and An Ruo Ran were both loyal aides of Luo Bingbing, so he allowed Shadowless to accompany him to Ivyah's palace. As for Miyazawa, since he was unfamiliar with him, he did not invite him along.
At this point, neither Shadowless nor Miyazawa was aware that their master had left this world for a distant future. Therefore, they had no objections to Xuan Ye's words.
Afterward, Shadowless followed them to Ivyah's palace while Miyazawa headed directly to the study in the Demon Palace. He wanted to see if Dongfang Hao was there.
However, upon arriving there, he discovered that Dongfang Hao had not returned at all. So he began searching for Dongfang Hao in other areas of the palace.
Just as he was searching for a while, he noticed an urgent communication signal from the Tiger Legion appearing in the sky outside Castle Palace. Upon seeing that signal, he assumed it was sent by Luo Bingbing. Since Luo Bingbing was usually accompanied by Dongfang Hao wherever he went, he rushed over without a second thought.
Yet when he arrived there, he only saw Shadowless standing alone. Realizing that it wasn't who he was looking for, he immediately turned to leave. But just as he turned around, Shadowless suddenly called out to him and said, "Miyazawa, don't leave just yet."
"I need to find my master; I don't have time to chat with you." As soon as the words were spoken, Miyazawa lifted his foot again.
"I know where your master is." Upon hearing this, Miyazawa immediately stopped and turned to ask, "Is that true?"
"Absolutely. First, wait here with me for An Ruo Ran. Later, we will go together to meet Senior Xuan Ye and the Empress Dowager; they will tell us where your master is now."
Without asking another question, Miyazawa quietly stayed by Shadowless's side, waiting for An Ruo Ran's arrival.
The reason he was contacting An Ruo Ran here must be due to Ivyah's orders, and he knew that An Ruo Ran was attending Luo Wenhan's wedding these days, which should be in Silver City.
So, after hearing Ivyah's words, he immediately sent a message to contact An Ruo Ran.
After a while, An Ruo Ran came in through the secret passage. After meeting up with Shadowless, Shadowless led the two of them to meet Xuan Ye and Ivyah.
Xuan Ye was surprised by Miyazawa's appearance, but before Shadowless could explain, Ivyah directly asked Miyazawa to stay. After hearing Ivyah's words, Xuan Ye immediately understood that there was indeed a necessity for Miyazawa to remain.
Then, Ivyah quietly set up a barrier in the hall using Ability.
Once the barrier was established, Ivyah nodded at Xuan Ye, who then began to recount Luo Bingbing's background to everyone.
It was evident that everyone was quite astonished after hearing this, but they did not interrupt and continued to listen quietly.
After he finished speaking, Ivyah began to talk about his relationship with Luo Bingbing and the connection between his current body’s original owner and the fake Empress Dowager.
At this point, everyone was even more surprised, including Xuan Ye.
However, after listening to their words, the doubts and astonishment in everyone's hearts disappeared. Shadowless and An Ruo Ran were the first to express their stance, stating that no matter who Luo Bingbing was, she would always be their master.
As soon as their words fell, Miyazawa immediately said, "He will definitely protect the Silver Moon Kingdom for his master."
Lo An Lord's thoughts were originally quite conservative, so when he heard that Luo Bingbing was not his biological daughter, he was taken aback. However, seeing that no one else cared about Luo Bingbing's identity, he quickly came to terms with it. After all, the body belonged to his daughter.
Since the body was his daughter's, she naturally was his daughter as well. Thus, he readily accepted Luo Bingbing's identity and felt proud to have such a daughter.
Ivyah and Xuan Ye were very pleased with their expressions and immediately began to formulate a plan to manage the Silver Moon Kingdom.
Miyazawa could disguise himself as Dongfang Hao to attend morning court and review memorials. For larger matters, he would report to Ivyah and Lo An Lord. An Ruo Ran was responsible for managing those factions and keeping track of the world situation, while Shadowless stayed by Ivyah's side to relay messages.
Lo An Lord first needed to take Luo Wenqing and Lawen Yu to the military camp for training before handing over responsibilities to them. He would then return to Silver City to oversee matters alongside Ivyah.
Publicly, they declared that Luo Bingbing had been taken back to Ling Mountain by Xuan Ye for rest due to her pregnancy and poor health.
In this way, they managed the Silver Moon Kingdom effectively, and outsiders remained unaware that Luo Bingbing and Dongfang Hao were not in this time frame.
Before Luo Bingbing and the others had left, Wuyang had already begun establishing his own power in secret. His actions were very cautious; thus, despite their effective management, they remained oblivious to Wuyang's malignant presence.
With Luo Bingbing's departure, Shadowless became Ivyah's dedicated liaison, which further reduced Shadowless's opportunities to return to the Dark Gate. This allowed Wuyang's audacity to grow bolder as his influence expanded.
From initially a few hundred people, it grew into thousands. He quietly took control of the Dark Gate, using poison and inhumane methods to turn everyone within into his subordinates who worked for him.
As autumn turned to winter, a year passed in the blink of an eye. At this point, the Dark Gate Headquarters located in the Underworld was completely under Wuyang's control. After fully taking over the headquarters, he became even more reckless in capturing people for training.
Of course, his recklessness was confined within the Underworld. Once outside its borders, he immediately concealed his ambitions. After all, he was well aware of his own limitations. Until he devised a perfect revenge plan, he would not act rashly.
Therefore, An Ruo Ran and Shadowless had no idea that tremendous changes had already occurred within the Dark Gate.
The time in these two realms is completely different; a year in ancient times is only half a year in modern times. In other words, time in the ancient world passes twice as fast as in the modern world. Therefore, Luo Bingbing and Dongfang Hao have only experienced half a year in the modern era.
However, Luo Bingbing's belly has grown quite large, making it difficult for her to walk.
One day, Yingqi hurriedly returned and said, "I found a way to go back to ancient times."
Upon hearing this, they immediately asked, "Grandpa, are you sure this will work?"
"One hundred percent certainty." Everyone was overjoyed at his words, but before their smiles could fully blossom, he continued, "However, we need to find a specific pearl."
After hearing this, Yijun Che immediately said, "Grandpa, does that mean if we can't find that pearl, everything else is pointless?"
"Well... um..." Yingqi was momentarily at a loss for words after his grandson's blunt remark.
Seeing Yingqi's hesitation, Dongfang Hao understood that this matter was somewhat mysterious. However, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would not give up. So he quickly asked, "Grandpa, what does that pearl look like?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Bingbing also chimed in, "Yes! Grandpa, what are the characteristics of that pearl?"
"Of course it has characteristics. When I was very young, my grandfather told me that the pearl has a beautiful name called Love Pearl and is a rare pink color all over. However, no one has ever seen it."
After hearing this, Luo Bingbing and Dongfang Hao couldn't help but ask in unison, "Grandpa, are you sure it's the Love Pearl that is pink all over?"
Seeing their expressions and words were the same, Yingqi couldn't help but ask, "What’s wrong with you two?"
After exchanging smiles with each other, Luo Bingbing said, "Grandpa, please answer our question: is it or isn't it?"
"It is. What's wrong?"
Upon hearing that certain statement, Dongfang Hao immediately said, "Because that Pink Pearl belongs to Bing Bing."
While they were talking, Luo Bingbing was reminiscing nearby, pondering where the pearl she always carried with her had been left.
After some reflection, Luo Bingbing was completely sure that the pearl had been with her before she returned to the modern world; however, she now had no idea where it was.
So, when Yingqi and the others excitedly asked where the Spirit Orbs were now, Luo Bingbing simply shook her head and said she didn't know.
Just as everyone felt disappointed, Yijun Che suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "It's here, it's here! I know where that pearl is."
Everyone turned to look and saw him sitting on the sofa laughing heartily, holding a newspaper that had just been delivered that morning.
Then, everyone rushed over to snatch the newspaper to take a look. With just one glance, Luo Bingbing immediately denied it.
After hearing this, Yijun Che said somewhat unconvinced, "How do you know it's not? You haven't seen the actual item."
With a slight smile, Luo Bingbing calmly replied, "First, this pearl is much smaller than that Love Pearl. Second, I don't feel the warmth from this pearl. You see, that Love Pearl contains my master's life and soul; as soon as I see it, I feel as if he is right beside me."
At this point, Luo Bingbing paused slightly before continuing, "Moreover, the phoenix once told me that this Love Pearl is formed from the purest love in the world combined with the most selfless familial affection."
Everyone had heard Luo Bingbing talk about the familial affection before, but they were unaware of what the love aspect entailed.
Luo Bingbing believed that it was related to her past life and had nothing to do with her current self, so she did not share it with everyone.
Dongfang Hao was the first to ask, "Wife, what is the love aspect about? How come you've never mentioned it before?"
"Exactly! I've never heard about it either," Yijun Che chimed in quickly.
Then, Luo Bingbing slowly recounted the events involving the Demon King Silver Wolf and her past life to everyone present, who all reacted with expressions of understanding.
Of course, Dongfang Hao was the exception; he immediately sat down on the nearby sofa and pulled Luo Bingbing into his arms, seemingly displaying his ownership to everyone.
They had found a solution, but without the Love Pearl, their family immediately began searching for it. To ensure nothing went wrong, Yingqi continued to research in the forbidden area to see if there were any other feasible methods.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye, yet they had no news about the Love Pearl, and Yingqi had not discovered any other viable solutions.
One day, Luo Bingbing and Dongfang Hao were taking their usual walk along the path of the villa when suddenly, Luo Bingbing felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. Initially, she thought it was just the baby kicking, but the pain became increasingly pronounced.
"Ah! Husband, it hurts so much! My stomach hurts! It really hurts!"
Upon hearing Luo Bingbing's cries of pain, Dongfang Hao quickly scooped her up and rushed back to the villa while shouting, "Grandma, Grandma, Bing Bing is going into labor!"
There was no need to say more; both of them knew this was a sign that the baby was about to be born, and Luo Bingbing's due date was just around the corner.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the villa sprang into action—those who could drive took the car while others gathered supplies. They swiftly transported Luo Bingbing to the nearby Central Hospital.
To prepare for the baby's arrival, their family had made meticulous arrangements. Therefore, as soon as Luo Bingbing arrived at the hospital's premium maternity ward, the Obstetrician-in-Chief came to attend to her immediately.
After conducting a thorough examination on Luo Bingbing, she promptly wheeled her into the operating room.
However, since it was Luo Bingbing's first pregnancy, labor proved to be quite difficult, causing her to cry out in distress.
The operating room door was tightly shut, so those waiting outside did not hear Luo Bingbing's cries. However, Dongfang Hao possessed over two hundred years of Power and could hear sounds clearly even from kilometers away; thus he heard every cry from next door.
Upon hearing Luo Bingbing's screams, he nearly lost control and destroyed that door.
Fortunately, just before he was about to take action, the door suddenly opened from the inside, and he was asked to sign. Since the characters in both time periods were quite similar, after signing his name, it did not raise any suspicion from the doctor. Moreover, after months of practice, he had already developed a beautiful handwriting.
After signing, the doctor said to him, "Please wait a moment; the child's head is already out. It will be over soon."
This brief statement acted like a calming pill, instantly soothing Dongfang Hao's restless heart.
Then, the doctor went back into the operating room.
After a short while, Dongfang Hao heard a loud cry of a baby coming from the adjacent room. Upon hearing that sound, he immediately turned to those beside him and said, "It's born! I heard the sound!"
Everyone was well aware of his Power, so upon hearing his words, they all smiled and looked forward to the opening of the operating room door.
However, before the door could open, Dongfang Hao said again, "Another one has been born! I heard two babies crying!"
Since Luo Bingbing had not gone for any check-ups after returning to the modern world, even her due date was calculated by the Imperial Physician in the Silver Moon Kingdom Palace. Therefore, their family did not know that Luo Bingbing was expecting Dragon and Phoenix Twins.
Soon after, the operating room door opened. As Dongfang Hao and others waited outside, they rushed to the side of the stretcher as soon as they saw Luo Bingbing being wheeled out with the two Dragon and Phoenix Twins.
"Wife, you’ve worked hard! How do you feel? Is it still painful?"
