"Let's go, kid!" White Star Soul glanced at Li Xiaonan and said lightly.
"Okay!" Li Xiaonan smiled as he approached White Star Soul, swinging his tattered clothes.
Lu Shang, who had been silently watching his back, grew anxious and hurried to his side. "Brother Li, where are you going?"
Li Xiaonan scratched his head, smiling awkwardly. "I have some personal matters to attend to. Why don't you stay with Lord Azure Emperor for now? I'll be back in a couple of days."
A flicker of disappointment flashed in Lu Shang's eyes as he lowered his head and gently tugged at Li Xiaonan's tattered sleeve. "Um... Shang'er will wait for Brother Li to come back..."
A drop of bright golden tear fell onto Li Xiaonan's hand, startling him and causing a pang of pain in his heart. He suddenly felt an urge to hold the girl tightly in his arms and comfort her.
Yet, he himself was unsure whether this sudden emotion was directed towards Lu Nishang or the Lu Shang before him.
White Star Soul broke the silence between the two and said, "Forget it, little girl Lu can come with us too."
"Really? Senior?" Lu Shang looked up suddenly, her eyes shimmering with enchanting tears.
White Star Soul turned to Li Xiaonan, who sighed softly. He took Lu Shang's hand, nodded, and smiled gently. "Yes, let's go!"
As he wiped away the tears from her cheek and gazed at her shy demeanor, Li Xiaonan felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity. But no matter how he thought about it, the person before him couldn't possibly be Lu Nishang.
Even if it were Lu Ni Chang, how could she not recognize me?
White Star Soul led the two of them towards the planet where Old Rice resided.
Li Xiaonan quietly observed the surroundings. In the vast universe, countless stars moved slowly along their designated paths; time was eternal, and space was eternal as well.
With each shift, Li Xiaonan felt an indescribable sense of understanding, as if he were close to a revelation, yet always just a step away.
He sighed, having already spotted the distant Pavilion.
"Lord Bai, Brother Li, what are we doing here?" Lu Shang asked curiously.
"What else can he do but open a backdoor for his own people?" White Star Soul replied dismissively as he walked toward the Pavilion.
Li Xiaonan rubbed his hands together excitedly; he could finally see his wives!
Lu Shang stood behind them, her expression suddenly changing, a flicker of panic flashing in her pearl-like dark eyes.
Neither Li Xiaonan nor White Star Soul noticed her distress as they hurried toward the Pavilion.
Lu Shang bit her red lip lightly, her right hand trembling as she formed a strange hand sign. A point of white light transformed into a butterfly, gently spreading its wings and flying toward the horizon.
"Shang'er, what's wrong?" Li Xiaonan noticed that Lu Shang had not followed and turned back to see her standing still, beads of sweat on her forehead, a considerable distance away from him.
At his question, Lu Shang seemed startled out of her wits and took a few steps back in alarm.
Li Xiaonan paused in confusion and flew to her side, asking with concern, "What happened? Why are you sweating so much?"
He produced a handkerchief from his hand and gently wiped Lu Shang's cheek.
Her eyes sparkled with light as she looked up and sweetly smiled. "It's nothing! As long as I can stay by Brother Li's side, Shang'er feels very happy!"
Li Xiaonan smiled lightly and handed the handkerchief to her left hand while taking her right hand to fly toward the Pavilion.
Before they could reach Old Rice, they heard his panicked voice.
"White Emperor! What brings you here? Is there something you need from me?"
The White Emperor replied coldly, "It's not me looking for you; it's him."
"Hehe..." Li Xiaonan grinned as he peeked out from behind the White Emperor, only to see Old Rice sitting awkwardly amidst a pile of documents.
Old Rice relaxed, letting out a sigh, and a smile returned to his face. "Ah, it's you, young brother! I didn't get a chance to thank you properly before! My Celestial Artifact is about to hatch into a Spirit Tool!" He shook the straw on his head proudly.
Li Xiaonan clasped his hands together and bowed slightly to Old Rice, saying with a smile, "You're too kind, senior. It's just a small gesture, nothing to be overly polite about."
Old Rice was no fool; he could tell that Li Xiaonan and the White Emperor hadn't come to reminisce with an old man like him. With a slight smile, he asked, "What can I do for you, Li Xiao Brother?"
Scratching his head, Li Xiaonan replied with a grin, "Senior Tian, I won't beat around the bush. I have a request—I want to bring my family over."
"Sure thing! Just say the word!" Old Rice agreed readily.
Li Xiaonan was taken aback; he hadn't expected it to be so easy to get a favor in the celestial realm!
Clearing his throat, he said, "Senior Tian, I have quite a few wives... um..."
"Just tell me their names and where they are now. I'll see if I can bring them over!" Old Rice pushed aside some documents and pulled out a straw from his head. He waved it lightly and blew gently, transforming it into a large Light Barrier.
Within the barrier appeared a cosmic scene filled with nebulae. Li Xiaonan immediately recognized that this star domain belonged to the Cultivation realm.
Narrowing his eyes, he focused on one planet and said, "That's the place!"
As Old Rice changed his hand seals, the scene within the Light Barrier drew closer. Gradually, mountains and rivers came into view along with a familiar city.
The city was pulled nearer until every detail of the palace could be clearly seen.
The spring breeze was gentle, and the willow catkins danced in the air. A Red-Clad Woman was smiling and chatting with a Blue-Clad Woman, who nodded continuously, her face full of satisfaction.
Li Xiaonan exclaimed excitedly, "Yanrong! Ling'er! Yes! Yes! Senior, these two are both my wives. Can you bring them up?"
Old Rice looked over and laughed, "You really are lucky, aren't you? Two wives! They both look so beautiful. The one in blue is almost ready to break through to the Tribulation Stage. The one in red may be a bit weaker, but it shouldn't be a problem to bring her up."
Li Xiaonan sighed in relief and smiled, "There are three more!"
"Ah? So many?" Just as Old Rice finished speaking, three women appeared within the Light Barrier: Yun Moyu, Yuan Xian'er, and Li Baobao.
Li Xiaonan was about to speak when Old Rice interrupted, "Alright, these few are also your wives, right? Fine! I'll bring them all up for you. However, the girl in white and the one in yellow are too weak; they’ll need at least another ten years. Do you want me to bring the other three up first?"
Li Xiaonan frowned slightly and pondered for a moment before saying, "Let's have them all ascend together! A hundred years is just a blink of an eye for cultivators. I'll stay here and focus on my cultivation!"
Old Rice nodded and closed his eyes to rest.
Li Xiaonan was about to find a place to sit when White Star Soul said, "Since we’re waiting anyway, why don’t you come with me? Where I am has a rich Celestial Aura; it would be much more effective for your cultivation!"
Li Xiaonan scratched his head and replied, "I'd rather not. I'll just stay here. Thank you for bringing me over. Once all my wives are here, I'll come find you at your Life White Star."
White Emperor frowned slightly and nodded, saying, "Suit yourself! I have nothing else to do either; I’ll just meditate here!" Without giving Li Xiaonan a chance to respond, he sat down abruptly and closed his eyes.
Li Xiaonan stared blankly with his mouth agape, thinking to himself: Flower Rubbing! What’s going on here? Does he really think of me as just a good buddy? Ugh… so cold… I should just focus on my cultivation!
He glanced at Lu Shang and said, "Shang'er, I plan to cultivate here for a while; how about you…"
Lu Shang immediately replied, "Then I’ll meditate too. It’s been a short time since my ascension; my cultivation isn’t stable yet. This is a good opportunity for me to practice."
Li Xiaonan nodded and said, "Alright!" With that, he directed his consciousness into his Dantian and began practicing the Martial Soul Technique.
Lu Shang glanced at the two and her smile faded, revealing a hint of fatigue in her eyes.
Taking a deep breath, she slowly closed her eyes and began to meditate.
The Celestial Mist swirled around her, moving without wind, while time flowed like a traveler, never pausing in its journey.
A hundred years passed swiftly. Li Xiaonan awoke twice during this period; once out of boredom, he helped Old Rice refine a Celestial Artifact that resembled Three Straws, and another time he chatted with Lu Shang.
Now, he awoke again, his spirits lifted. He anxiously walked over to Old Rice.
Old Rice chuckled at his eagerness, saying, "You are quite punctual! Don't worry, young brother; all your wives will be fine. I will definitely bring them up safely!"
"Thank you, senior!" Li Xiaonan bowed respectfully, rubbing his hands together in excitement, his face slightly flushed with anticipation.
White Star Soul and Lu Shang also awakened from their meditation and looked towards the Light Barrier summoned by Old Rice.
After a century apart, Li Xiaonan's gaze was fixed intently on the women.
Suddenly, the sky over Qingyu City changed color, as darkness enveloped the entire city, resembling a giant beast with its mouth wide open, greedily eyeing everything within Qingyu City.
Large chunks of Calamity Cloud flew in from all directions, and in an instant, the sky appeared thick with oppressive darkness that left one speechless.
In the courtyard, five women stood back to back in a circle, nervously watching the sky.
Nearby stood Spirit Weapon, Mei Yingluo, Fei Ji, Luna, and others.
Seeing these familiar faces stirred a wave of longing within Li Xiaonan's heart like ants crawling restlessly.
As Old Rice waved the second stalk of rice above his head, the first bolt of Tribulation Lightning descended.
A bolt of Blue Lightning struck down fiercely, transforming into five beams of radiant light that landed on five individuals.
Li Xiaonan paced back and forth nervously, anxiety and worry flooding his heart.
Lu Shang gently took his hand and comforted him, "Brother Li, you don't need to worry. Good people have their own protection from the heavens. I believe the sisters will ascend safely."
Li Xiaonan bit his lip tightly, nodding silently.
As another bolt of Tribulation Lightning fell, Old Rice summoned the Three Straws. A pillar of five-colored light suddenly split the ground and descended upon the five women within the Light Barrier.
Li Xiaonan grasped Lu Shang's hand, joyfully exclaiming, "It worked! It worked!"
The five women slowly ascended into the celestial realm with the light pillar, their brilliance gradually fading. Each beautiful woman looked at the man before them with delight and called out in unison, "Xiao Nan!"
Li Xiaonan opened his arms, ready to embrace them, when suddenly the space around him twisted. He could hear nothing and see nothing; all his senses were lost.
It felt as if heaven and earth had merged into a great vortex. In an instant, the sky remained sky and the earth remained earth, but his wives had vanished before him!
He stood there in shock, "Where are my wives? Damn... that's my wife! Not a Malaysia Airlines flight! Where did they all go?"
He turned around in confusion, looking around as the others wore equally bewildered expressions.
