Chapter 121: Meeting Zhang Weiyun Again

Looking at his son ahead, Wang Yulun felt a deep sense of pride. Seeing his son surpass him was the greatest joy for an old father.

A year ago, when he saw his son, he was overjoyed, but then he realized that his peak Golden Core cultivation couldn’t quite keep up with his son.

During a discussion about swordsmanship, his son became the strongest fighter in their family, leaving him in second place.

At that moment, the Nascent Soul stage bear demon that had knocked Wang Yulun away charged at the father and son.

“What does being a Nascent Soul matter?” Wang Xiangchi’s eyes sparkled with battle intent.

Suddenly, an exhilarating battle theme music began to play (please refer to Zhou’s theme from Huo Yuanjia for the intro).

The fire of battle ignited in Wang Xiangchi’s eyes as he held a thunder sword, its wind-like form darting around him.

In my theme music, no one can defeat me,

Wang Xiangchi transformed into a blur, charging towards the Nascent Soul stage bear demon.

Sword light flashed, and wind and thunder roared.

After an intense battle, the father and son returned to their courtyard in the main camp, which was exclusively theirs.

Murong Qianer had prepared food and drinks for the two of them. After a great battle, sharing a drink had become their habit over the past year.

“A year ago, the Elder Council sent your master something, it should have arrived by now,” Wang Yulun said, lifting his cup for a sip.

Wang Xiangchi remained silent, quietly drinking, pondering how to explain his long absence when he returned.

Wang Yulun glanced at his son, not paying much attention.

“Dad,” Wang Xiangchi called out.

“Hmm? What is it, son?” Wang Yulun responded.

“Stay here a bit longer and come back to Hidden Spirit Sect with me to improve your skills.”

“Your strength is too weak. You’ve only learned one of the secret techniques the master taught back then.”

“A standard fighting strength of Golden Core stage on this battlefield is just cannon fodder.”

“I don’t want to lose you.”

Wang Xiangchi uncharacteristically spoke so much at once.

“Are you saying you find my strength lacking?” Wang Yulun took some time to understand his son’s meaning.

“Dad, you should cultivate in Hidden Spirit Sect and come out after reaching Transformation Stage; your fighting strength is even weaker than mine was at Foundation Establishment stage,” Wang Xiangchi said, putting a piece of sauced meat in his mouth.

“Okay, I’ll stay here a bit longer and return when it’s time for me to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, and let your mother cultivate properly too,” Wang Yulun thought for a moment and said, honestly feeling a bit unaccepted by his son’s criticism.

“Just so happens, I have a pile of rare and strange things here; your master should like them.”

At that moment, Xu Fan, who usually fished lazily outside, was staring blankly at the treasure ship not far away, accompanied by two little followers.

It wasn’t because the ship was impressive, even though it was a Dao artifact, but rather because of the person and deer aboard.

The person was his wife, now a major practitioner at the Nascent Soul stage, and the deer was the Huayun deer that he brought back from the secret realm.

“They shouldn’t be together,” Xu Fan thought, believing that deer should have long since ended up in the belly of some beast race.

“Husband~~”

The woman flew directly from the boat and landed gracefully in Xu Fan’s embrace. Behind her, the proud Huayun deer trotted on clouds, looking at Xu Fan as if to say, "Look, I brought your wife."

“For so many years, I have been thinking about you, but the cultivation world is so vast…”

“I didn’t expect you to come find me yourself,” Xu Fan said with surprise. After establishing the Hidden Spirit Sect, he often thought of this wife. To be honest, it had been over 60 years since they last met.

“It’s my fault for only coming to find my husband after all these years,” Zhang Weiyun said while hugging Xu Fan. She had just reached the Nascent Soul Stage and had finally convinced her master to grant her a two-month leave.

“It’s okay, it’s okay.”

“Now, I just want to ask, what’s the story with this Cloud Flower Deer? Wasn’t it outside Que Tian Gate?” Xu Fan asked curiously.

“You mean Little Flower Deer? It ran to the outside of my cultivation place, and later, when my master discovered it, he gifted it to me, saying that we have a bond.”

“Well, okay.”

“Come on, I’ll take you to see our sect.”

As Xu Fan spoke, he released the Spiritual Wind Boat, carrying his wife, two little followers, and the Huayun deer into the protecting grand formation.

“Wow, it’s so beautiful!” Zhang Weiyun exclaimed, gazing at the fairy-tale garden.

At that moment, the Huayun deer was fixated on a hovering Divine Beast, showing great interest.

Suddenly, the bell chimed, signaling a gathering at the sect—a message from the Hidden Spirit Sect announcing good news.

During the meal, Xu Fan announced to everyone Zhang Weiyun’s identity.

“Hello, Teacher’s wife~~” Since Xu Fan was their teacher, the voice rang in unison, instantly giving Zhang Weiyun a sense of belonging to the Hidden Spirit Sect.

Later, being generous with treasures, she gave every disciple in the sect a suitable treasure. According to Xu Fan’s estimation, this spendthrift woman had at least given away treasures worth two hundred million spirit stones.

After dinner, when they returned to their little courtyard, Xu Fan eagerly asked Zhang Weiyun, “Weiyun, where did you get so many exotic treasures?”

“On the way to find my husband, I stumbled upon an ancient sect’s ruins, and I found everything there.”

“If my husband wants, I have plenty more.” Zhang Weiyun said nonchalantly.

“No need, your husband has treasures.” Xu Fan shook his head and said, he would never depend on anyone else, not even for a moment.

“Really?” Zhang Weiyun said with a hint of disappointment. She still had more than a hundred pounds of time-space sand, which she had collected while accompanying her master to the Extreme Void Domain. She heard that all sects needed this item now.

“Why would I want my lady’s treasures?”

The term "lady" made Zhang Weiyun shyly lower her head.

Later, the couple chatted for a long time in Xu Fan’s room, talking until late at night.

At this time, Xu Fan swallowed nervously and said, “Weiyun, let’s sleep.”

Suddenly, Zhang Weiyun remembered something her master had said.

“Husband, my master said that until I fully control the Spirit Body of Great Fortune, I cannot follow the path of human affection.”

“Then, that means I can’t have children with you,” Zhang Weiyun said, looking down, appearing as if she had done something wrong.

“…………”

“Since that’s the case, we can only sleep.”

“Hmm.”

A temporary separation feels even more like a newlywed bliss, and the joyful moments with a wife always feel so fleeting.

A month later, amidst Zhang Weiyun’s reluctant farewell, the Xuanqing Bird flew into the distance.

“Don’t look back; weren’t you very happy on Hidden Spirit Island?”

“From now on, you’ll continue following me. If anything happens, I won’t abandon you,” Xu Fan patted the Huayun deer’s head and assured.

“Boohoo~”

“You don’t believe me?” Xu Fan frowned.

“Boohoo~” The Huayun deer looked at him with disdain in its eyes.

“Fine, since you don’t believe me, how about a hearty deer meat hot pot?”

Looking at the Huayun deer, Xu Fan began to seriously think about how to approach it.

“Boohoohoo~~~” The Huayun deer instantly started to whine sweetly.

“That’s more like it! No one’s backing you up, so why act tough?” Xu Fan said triumphantly as he watched the fleeing Huayun deer.
