In retrospect, it had been ten years since Ling Xiao had left the Southern Wasteland with Feng Xianyun.
For a cultivator, ten years was but a blink of an eye.
But for Feng Xianyun, who rarely left her family, ten years was a long time. She missed her grandfather and her son.
As a considerate woman, Feng Xianyun rarely told Ling Xiao about her own mental state. She must have known that Ling Xiao was a man who did great things, and had many things to take care of, so how could she distract Ling Xiao? Furthermore, she had many sisters by her side, which was why she was able to persevere for these ten years.
Now, Ling Xiao's reputation had shaken the Central Region, and he had developed the Proud Smiling Palace. Even if the Black Demon Sect came to attack, they could make them retreat. She believed that the Proud Smiling Palace would be stable for a short period of time.
Therefore, Feng Xianyun couldn't help but ask Ling Xiao to go home and have a look.
Looking at Feng Xianyun's pleading expression, Ling Xiao's expression darkened. He knew that he had neglected his wife's feelings for all these years.
Ling Xiao gently held Feng Xianyun in his arms and caressed her hair, "Well, it's time to go back and have a look. I miss them too."
"Husband, you … you promised me?"
Feng Xianyun was surprised and then said, "If you don't have time, I can go back alone."
"Silly, how can I let you go back alone? I miss my parents too. This time, I'll go back and bring them here. Let's not be separated from each other. Moreover, letting them live in the Central Region will be good for them." Ling Xiao gently scratched Feng Xianyun's nose as he said.
Ling Xiao could be considered to have thoroughly established himself in the Central Region. It was time to bring his family and live together.
Who didn't miss home?
Who didn't miss home?
Ling Xiao was not a person who forgot his roots. He also had the seven emotions and six desires of a normal person.
Now that Feng Xianyun had suggested going back to take a look, Ling Xiao also felt that it was time to prepare for the next step. At the same time, he hoped that Yun Mengqi had escaped from the evil clutches of Yin He and returned to the Northwest.
Although he knew that this idea was unrealistic, Ling Xiao felt that it was necessary for him to go back.
Hearing Ling Xiao's words, Feng Xianyun was naturally overjoyed.
Then, Feng Xianyun told the news to her sisters.
These women had followed Ling Xiao to the Central Region, and they all had the intention to return with Ling Xiao.
When they heard the news, they were naturally overjoyed.
The happiest one was Bai Yuxi. She couldn't help but shout, "We can go back and see godparents now!"
She had been taken in by the Ling family in the early years and treated Ling Xiao's parents as her own. Ling Xiao's parents also treated Bai Yuxi as their daughter. Their relationship was extremely good.
"Yuxi, Xiao said that he would bring Master and Madam to the Central Region this time so that they can see each other every day," Feng Xianyun said.
"Yes, we should have done that a long time ago," Bai Yuxi replied happily.
"With Master and Madam here, we as daughters-in-law must be filial to them," Cai Xiayue chimed in from the side.
She had become Ling Xiao's woman but she had never seen Ling Xiao's family. According to the customs of the commoners, it was a bit improper for her to be a daughter-in-law.
Yu Lieyan and Wu Meiniang were also quite happy. They wanted to go back to the Charm Sect and at the same time, they planned to bring their Master to the Central Region to be filial to him.
Seeing how happy all the women were, Ling Xiao felt extremely guilty.
He had so many confidantes in this life, what else could he not be satisfied with?
Ling Xiao's heart changed unconsciously. All of a sudden, he cast aside all the fighting and cultivation matters. He just wanted to enjoy the happiness of returning to his hometown. He wanted to enjoy the contentment of ordinary people.
Ling Xiao's state of mind suddenly became clear and his temperament suddenly changed.
If one looked at Ling Xiao before, they would think that he was a sharp and domineering hero. But now, he was like an ordinary handsome young man who gave off an amiable and approachable feeling.
In this aspect, he actually gave off a similar feeling to Wu Bufan of the Spirit Martial Court.
If Han Kai was here, he would definitely be able to see that Ling Xiao had actually returned to his natural state. All of his temperament and aura had been restrained.
This state was not concealed by some kind of cultivation technique. It was a very natural state. This was very beneficial to one's cultivation.
Before leaving, Ling Xiao called Xuan Yao over for a chat.
Naturally, Xuan Yao couldn't go back with Ling Xiao. He definitely had to stay and guard the Proud Smiling Palace.
Ling Xiao talked to Xuan Yao because he wanted to hear what Xuan Yao had to say. After all, he knew that this trickster had a heavenly secret that others couldn't understand.
Xuan Yao was sure that nothing major would happen in the Proud Smiling Palace in a short period of time, so Ling Xiao was relieved.
Ling Xiao brought his women Feng Xianyun, Cai Xiayue, Ji Beixin, Bai Yuxi, Bing Ruoshui, Yu Lieyan and Wu Niang Mei back. Wei Dai 'er and Yao Qingmin didn't go with them.
Wei Dai 'er's only relative was Leng She, and she didn't have any relatives in the northwest. In addition, she had a good relationship with Lone Eagle, Li Kuanghu, Poison Scorpion and Eight Generals in the Ten Thousand Broken Mountain Range a few years ago. They wanted to stay in the palace to recruit a new generation of disciples, so she took the initiative to stay and help them with this matter.
As for Yao Qingmin, she had followed her master Li Xue since she was young. Although she really wanted to accompany Ling Xiao and the others to the northwest and the Southern Wasteland, she didn't want to leave her master alone in the palace. Furthermore, she still had to preside over the auction in Wind Cloud City. After thinking about it, she finally decided to stay.
"Oh right, Yun 'er, Yue' er, shouldn't you guys dress up before going back?" Ling Xiao said as he looked at his beautiful wives and concubines in front of him.
The few women looked at Ling Xiao in confusion, but Yu Lieyan knew what Ling Xiao was thinking and said with a smile, "He's laughing because he's afraid that we, the femme fatale, will bring him trouble."
"Hehe, I just don't want too many insensible flies to come over and buzz around!" Ling Xiao laughed.
Yu Lieyan was right, every single one of them was as beautiful as a fairy, with a myriad of temperaments. Which man wouldn't be moved by them, especially Yu Lieyan and Wu Mei Niang, these two women who had a seductive body. After they cultivated a set of high level seduction techniques, their temperaments had undergone a huge change, as if they could make a man feel a great desire with just a raise of their hand.
Ling Xiao's temperament could be considered to be especially firm, but when the two of them joined hands to use seduction techniques on him, he found it difficult to control them.
It was also because of this that Ling Xiao's strong physique was ruthlessly tortured by the two of them to the point of weakening him several times.
Ling Xiao couldn't help but curse the two women in his heart for being so bewitching!
It wasn't that the two women were more beautiful than the other women, but that they were born with a bewitching bone and cultivated seduction techniques. The temptation they emitted was much stronger than the other women.
"Then let's change into some commoner clothes!" Feng Xian Yun suggested.
Of course, the women wouldn't object, and immediately got someone to bring some commoner clothes to change into.
The women's beauty was outstanding, so how could it be covered up by a few sets of clothes? After they changed, not only did it not cover up their beauty, but it also made them exude the pure aura of a village girl, making them even more seductive and seductive.
Ling Xiao thought for a moment and said, "You should all change back to your original clothes. With your current appearance, there will be even more flies looking for trouble!"
Their original appearance exuded an elegant and cold aura, ordinary people wouldn't dare to casually look for trouble with them, but after they changed their clothes, they became as pure and lovely as the mountain girls. When other people saw them, they might think that they were weak commoner women, and would definitely have the guts to look for trouble with them.
In that case, it was better to let them maintain their original appearance, and only hope that the flies would be a little more tactful.
When Ye Yunfeng and Cruel Leopard heard that Ling Xiao wanted to return to the northwest, they hurried over.
"Boss, let me follow you back!" Ye Yunfeng pleaded as soon as he saw Ling Xiao.
"Young Master, this servant is also willing to follow you back!" Cruel Leopard said.
Ling Xiao waved his hand and said, "This time, I'll go back to pick up my family. It won't take long, so you guys don't need to follow me."
"Boss, how can this be? There will definitely be a lot of things to do along the way. It will be easier for me to help!" Ye Yunfeng said.
"What could possibly happen? Stay in the palace and keep watch. If anything happens, I'll hold you responsible!" Ling Xiao shouted as he brought out the authority of the Palace Lord.
Ye Yunfeng and Cruel Leopard didn't dare to disobey Ling Xiao's words, so they could only shut up.
However, this didn't mean that no one would follow Ling Xiao back.
Other than his women, there were also many people who followed him.
He was now a palace master, and his every move represented the movements of the palace. His safety was no longer a matter of one person.
Ling Xiao actually didn't want to make a big fuss, but after experiencing Xuan Yao's pain, he thought of the women by his side and his enemies. If he didn't have some people to protect him, he was really afraid that something would happen. If he couldn't split himself, then it would be a sin.
Thus, Ling Xiao brought Geng Hong, Fang Chen, and Luo You, the three emperors, along with a dozen or so Empyreans.
Such a force was no longer something an ordinary force could contend against. Unless it was a large force that attacked with all their might, it would be possible to cause them harm.
Although he had these people following him, Ling Xiao didn't plan to make a big fuss. He made them dress like commoners and restrain their auras. They definitely couldn't attract too much attention, so that they could avoid a lot of trouble.
Before leaving, Ling Xiao found Mad Tooth.
After the battle with Shi Yidao, Mad Tooth's protective spirit beast was already dead, so he didn't have another protective spirit beast for the time being.
Ling Xiao handed the four-horned Demon Cow he had subdued to Mad Tooth and let him sign a master-servant contract with it.
Mad Tooth knew that this was a peak mid-eighth rank dark-attribute spirit beast, so he naturally agreed happily.
With Han Kai, Mad Tooth, and this peak mid-eighth rank spirit beast in the sect, Ling Xiao felt much more at ease.
After doing this, Ling Xiao led the group from Wind Cloud City back to his hometown.
