"YOU!" Zhao Hai finally realized that he had just insulted himself and shot an angry glare at Li Xiaonan.
Unfortunately, at that moment, his disfigured face made it impossible for him to convey any expression.
Li Xiaonan sighed and said, "It's time to add another big shot to the Seven-Level Pagoda. Don't worry, you won't feel a thing soon!"
"What... what are you going to do?"
Li Xiaonan chuckled and waved a hand, pulling Zhao Hai into the Seven-Level Pagoda. He then flashed his figure and joined the many Buddha's Envoys in enlightening this new friend.
Zhao Hai screamed, "Ahhh! I refuse! Ahhh..."
The sounds of his struggles grew weaker, and in an instant, his charred skin began to fade away, revealing smooth, fair skin underneath.
His expression became calm; he no longer acted out. Softly, he said, "Namo Amitabha Buddha. May the Buddha be merciful. Today, Zhao Hai is fortunate to encounter the Bodhisattva and receive enlightenment. From now on, I will devote myself to the Buddha and strive to do good deeds! Reflecting on my past actions truly goes against heavenly principles; I hope the Bodhisattva can forgive me."
This person's character was not something that could change so easily.
Li Xiaonan's forehead twitched as he coldly remarked, "Speak plainly!"
"I... I know I was wrong..." he lowered his head and said weakly.
"Who exactly are you? Which big shot from the Immortal Realm sent you down?" Li Xiaonan asked, nodding.
"I am Zhao Hai, a second-tier immortal official under the Azure Emperor of the Immortal Realm."
“Azure Emperor? What is that?” Li Xiaonan frowned, thinking to himself: The title sounds impressive!
“The Azure Emperor is not just anything… um, no, that’s not right, he is something… oh dear!” Zhao Hai awkwardly slapped himself and continued, “In the Immortal Realm, there are five emperors: the Azure, Yellow, Red, Purple, and White Emperors. Among them, the White Emperor is elusive and indifferent to worldly affairs, while the other four basically control the Immortal Realm.”
“Five Emperors?” Li Xiaonan nodded in confusion.
Isn’t that similar to the situation in the Demon Realm?
He asked Zhao Hai for some general information about the Immortal Realm.
In terms of territory, the Yellow Emperor occupies the largest area, followed by the Azure, Purple, Red, and White Emperors.
The White Emperor is particularly special; it is said that he possesses extremely high cultivation and is a disciple of the Supreme Deity. However, this person has grown accustomed to a leisurely life and has little desire for power or status.
Li Xiaonan perked up his ears and asked, “What is the Supreme Deity? Is there really a divine realm above the Immortal Realm?”
Zhao Hai clasped his hands together and replied, “In response to your question, it is said that such a realm exists, but no immortal has ever ascended to become a god. Generally, they stop progressing at a certain stage of cultivation.”
Li Xiaonan nodded. One day he would have to go to the Immortal Realm. With Zhao Hai as a companion, he could naturally avoid many unnecessary conflicts.
He then called over Ni Zhi and asked, “Which Immortal Emperor does the Outer Academy belong to?”
Ni Zhi glanced at Zhao Hai beside him and replied calmly, “We are under the Yellow Emperor.”
“Wow! From now on, I’ll steer clear of anyone from the Azure or Yellow Emperors!” Li Xiaonan propped up his chin and said to Zhao Hai, “You focus on healing; we’ll need your help in the battle against the Demon Realm!”
"Obey the Bodhisattva's command!" More than a hundred thousand voices of the Buddha's Envoy echoed in unison, creating an imposing atmosphere.
Li Xiaonan nodded in satisfaction and swiftly exited the Seven-Level Pagoda.
There, he saw the Ice Maiden grinning foolishly as she hugged Melt, who was bound to a wooden frame, resembling a koala.
Li Xiaonan shook his head and sighed, "Alas..." Before he could say more, Melt interjected, "Bastard! What have you done to the Ice Maiden!"
"Nothing much, just made her a bit silly," Luna explained calmly from the side.
"Silly? For life... will she be silly for life?" Melt furrowed his brow, gazing softly at the Ice Maiden. He gently said, "Bing Er, don't be afraid. Melt will always be here to take care of you!"
The Ice Maiden seemed to understand, slowly lifting her head to look at Melt. She cupped his face in her hands, tears welling in her eyes as she said, "Xiao Nan! Xiao Nan! I love you..."
Everyone was taken aback. Li Xiaonan shook his head helplessly and sighed, "I promise to spare your lives, but from now on, do not appear before me again!"
With a light flick of his finger, Melt relaxed and tightly embraced the Ice Maiden. He exclaimed excitedly, "Yes, I am your Xiao Nan! I love you too; we will never be apart for life!"
He smiled—a bittersweet yet happy smile.
Li Xiaobei was displeased and put her hands on her hips. "How dare you impersonate my father! I—"
Li Xiaonan gently patted her head and said, "It's fine. The Ice Maiden's fate isn't too bad; it's just a pity her taste isn't great. If only she had focused on Melt from the beginning. For them, this is a decent ending."
"Dad..." Li Xiaobei stared blankly at her father, looking utterly confused.
"Beep beep beep!" A buzzing sound suddenly rang out.
Li Xiaonan took out his Big Brother Phone and said, "Hello? Ling'er, has Little Jin arrived? That's great! Good! I've already met Xiao Bei. Yes, I'll be right back!"
After hanging up the phone, Li Xiaonan turned to Luna and said, "Great news! We have the design plans, a dedicated refining master, and there are about forty Divine Dragon Cannons ready. The cultivation world is saved!"
Although Luna and Li Xiaobei didn't understand what Li Xiaonan was talking about, seeing him so happy made them feel joyful as well.
Li Xiaonan hurriedly brought his wife and daughter back to the Underworld Demon Sea.
From a distance, he spotted his adoptive father Duan Yu along with dozens of Divine Dragon Cannons. He waved his hand and shouted, "Father! Father!"
Duan Yu was startled and joyfully exclaimed, "Xiao Nan, you're back! That's wonderful!"
"Father, this is just my wife Luna and daughter Li Xiaobei. Call someone!" Li Xiaonan put away the flying device, ignoring Duan Yu's curious gaze.
"Father..."
"Hello, Grandpa!"
"Good!" Duan Yu snapped back to reality, a gentle smile on his face.
"Grandpa is so handsome, even more than Daddy!"
Li Xiaonan chuckled and winked at Li Xiaobei, saying, "Of course! He's even richer than Daddy!"
"Wow! Grandpa is amazing! I only have the Late Stage of Heart Movement. When will I be as powerful as Grandpa?" Li Xiaobei exclaimed, her eyes shining with envy.
Duan Yu felt his right eyelid twitch twice and couldn't help but think of the gluttonous Li Dogdan. He swallowed hard.
Seeing that Duan Yu was lost in thought, Li Xiaonan reminded him, "Adoptive father, you should at least give some small gifts!"
It was going to be quite a cost for their first meeting.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiaobei suddenly said, "Daddy! This isn't right; how can you ask Grandpa for small gifts?"
Duan Yu's eyes lit up. This little girl is quite something; she seems to take after her mother. Hmm? Li Xiaoyang's wife is special; she doesn't seem to be a Cultivator and has wings behind her. Could she be a demon?
Li Xiaobei smiled and said, "Since Grandpa is so amazing, even if it's just a meeting gift, it has to be something grand!"
Duan Yu nearly choked on his own saliva!
He secretly pinched himself hard. The children of the Li Family have completely inherited Li Xiaonan's genes—opportunistic and fond of small gains.
No! It's a big gain!
He took out a necklace from his Storage Ring and said, "Xiao Bei, this is a meeting gift from Grandpa. It's called the Azure Breeze Chain. It has a calming effect and is perfect for your current Late Stage of Heart Movement cultivation."
Li Xiaobei glanced at her father, happily accepted it, and exclaimed, "A treasure! It can defend, calm the mind, and has a large storage space. Grandpa really loves Xiao Bei!"
She jumped up, hugged Duan Yu, planted a kiss on his cheek, and joyfully began to play with her new treasure.
Duan Yu chuckled softly, his gaze once again fixed on the neatly arranged Divine Dragon Cannons ahead, a hint of red glimmering in his eyes.
Li Xiaonan smiled gently, fully aware of Duan Yu's thoughts.
He stepped forward and lightly patted Duan Yu's shoulder, saying, "Foster father, I have been away for some time. I wonder what you think? Once the Demon War begins, the Cultivation world will surely be thrown into chaos. This is a great opportunity to break free from the constraints of the Outer Academy!"
Duan Yu was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head after a long pause. He sighed and said, "The Outer Academy... I can't let go!"
Li Xiaonan sighed helplessly, retracting his hand behind his back. "I'll give you two Divine Dragon Cannons!"
Duan Yu's eyes lit up with joy, but then he furrowed his brow and said, "You are known for being stingy; no one has ever gained anything from you, Li Xiaonan!"
Li Xiaonan chuckled awkwardly, his gaze drifting into the distance. "The Outer Academy holds things I can't let go of either, like Brother Hao, my master Yu Jizi, and Huang Yan."
"Are you suggesting...?" Duan Yu asked cautiously.
"Foster father, you're a smart man. Three people for two Divine Dragon Cannons is definitely worth it!"
"Absolutely not!" Duan Yu flatly refused, a flicker of anger flashing in his eyes.
Li Xiaonan sighed and laughed. "I was just joking. Take the two Divine Dragon Cannons as a token of filial piety from your son..."
As he spoke, he left the still-stunned Duan Yu behind and joined Luna, Li Xiaobei, and his wives.
A smile lingered on his lips, but inside he felt as if a bottle of mixed flavors had been overturned—nothing tasted quite right.
Indeed, he was a modern-day Li Bapi. It was impossible to gain any advantage from him, but the Outer Academy had masters, a Master's Wife, and senior brothers. No matter how one looked at it, they had two more Divine Dragon Cannons, which could ensure their safety.
What truly troubled him was the rift that had developed between him and Duan Yu—a seemingly irreparable divide.
Luna and Li Xiaobei both possessed Divine Power. Although they wouldn't pry into what Li Xiaonan was thinking at that moment, the mother and daughter could sense his gloomy mood.
They exchanged a glance, with one of them moving to his side, taking his hand without saying a word, simply holding it gently to offer encouragement.
Li Xiaonan would eventually come to his senses; the smile on his lips grew increasingly charming as he glanced at his wife and daughter. What could be more joyful than this familial bliss?
"Xiao Nan is back!" Yun Moyu exclaimed joyfully in front of the bamboo house.
"Back?" Ling Kui pulled the girl out from inside.
Li Xiaonan happily introduced his daughter, and Li Xiaobei was obedient, calling out to each auntie until… she jumped from four to six.
Li Xiaonan paused and asked, "Where's Lu Ni Chang? The Divine Dragon Cannon is back, but that mischievous girl hasn't returned."
Ling Kui frowned slightly and sighed, "Xiao Nan, don't worry. Lu Ni Chang was called by her father; otherwise, he wouldn't be willing to give us anything."
Li Xiaonan silently lowered his head, muttering to himself: No wonder that old man at the valley suddenly became so generous; it turns out he had kidnapped Lu Ni Chang!
Damn it! Once I finish this battle, I will definitely make a trip to the Underworld and rescue Lu Ni Chang!
