Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 746 - 668: Finally Seeing Ao Le!_4

Catching up was indeed not an easy feat.

Fortunately, he wasn’t the kind of person who always had to be the best, and since it was his own sister, there was nothing but joy in his heart.

Sitting next to his mother.

Lu Xiao praised while eating shrimps, "The fish and shrimp raised in Cousin Ao Jun’s Tian Shu Mansion is truly top-grade."

Ao Le heard this, looked at Lu Yao, and instantly laughed.

As expected.

"What do you mean?"

"The shrimp is good."

"My cooking is bad?!"

Lu Yao bristled, pushed the shrimp aside, and said, "If you like Cousin Jun’s shrimp so much, go feast at Tian Shu Mansion."

"..."

Lu Xiao smiled bitterly, "That’s not what I meant."

Lu Yao ignored him, her interest piqued at the mention of cousin Ao Jun, and she gossiped with her mother, "Mother, do you know that the Yu Mountain Sect has a new True Immortal named Ye Qian?"

"Yu Mountain Sect’s Ye Qian?"

Ao Le shook her head upon hearing this.

She had been in seclusion on Fu Long Mountain for years, paying little attention to worldly affairs.

Even though the Yu Mountain Sect had connections with her lineage, the emergence of a new True Immortal was hardly enough to surprise her, a "Fu Long Saint Mother."

Lu Xiao was beside her.

Hearing his sister bring up ’Ye Qian,’ he immediately knew what she was going to say.

He couldn’t help but laugh too.

Ao Le, curious at heart, heard Lu Yao take delight in the misfortune, "Cousin Jun once desperately sought the ’Little Sword Immortal’ Su Mu of the Jiuzhen Immortal Sword Sect, but to no avail, and has remained unwed. Yet in recent years, he was chosen by this ’Ye Qian,’ who resigned the Shang River God Position to join the Tian Shu Mansion, now following Cousin Jun around day and night. Now inside and outside the Tian Shu Mansion, everyone is saying: ’The Combat War God’s iron tree is about to blossom!’"

Lu Yao was talking about none other than—

Ao Jun,

a figure renowned across the Ancient Shang Region, known as the "Combat War God" of the Ancient Shang Region and the nephew of the Fu Long Saint Mother from Fu Long Mountain.

As an Earth Immortal, he was one of the most powerful True Immortals.

Master of the ’Fallen Divine Light.’

With such a reputation in the Ancient Shang Region, having fought Earth Immortals, he had been an intimidating presence thousands of years ago, famous for quelling demons.

Naturally, the romantic exploits of such a person were a subject of great interest.

Lu Yao, who enjoyed traveling and making friends, had heard quite a bit.

"This is good news."

Ao Le said with a smile.

Since her nephew had always been close to them, his well-being was naturally cause for her joy.

Ao Le was smiling,

But Lu Xiao clearly saw a fleeting moment of distraction in his mother.

His brow wrinkled.

He suddenly realized, "Is she thinking of father again?"

Born later, he was unaware of the connection between Su Mu and his father, Divine Monarch Guang Yuan.

But he did know that ’Little Sword Immortal’ Su Mu had been a disciple of One Yuan Ancestor Master, and One Yuan Ancestor had been cursed to death by his father in Chunshen East Sunken Continent, along with Golden Light Ancestor from the Green Sea Youxu Palace, and the Earth Immortal ’Combat Heavenly King’ from Combat Heavenly Gate.

It was that same battle,

Where his father had died.

And his mother had ascended to Earth Immortal.

Mentioning Su Mu now must be stirring memories for his mother.

Lu Yao also realized, her smile freezing instantaneously, filled with regret for her careless words.

But the siblings were clueless.

Mentioning the Jiuzhen Immortal Sword Sect really meant nothing.

But ’Little Sword Immortal’ Su Mu was different—

"Su Mu once admired the ’Sect Leader’ of Yu Mountain."

"But ultimately found out the Yu Mountain Sect Leader was the ’Guang Yuan Divine Monarch’ who killed his beloved master, One Yuan Ancestor Master."

"Your father left with grace." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Leaving Su Mu with a heart full of pain and spite, wasting tens of thousands of years of cultivation."

Thinking of Su Mu.

Ao Le sighed with sympathy and then recalled her own handsome husband, her lips curving up subtly.

Lu Xiao and Lu Yao exchanged a glance.

Not daring to interrupt.

Ao Le gazed at the sky, where clouds seemed to morph into human shapes. Looking closer, the features were strikingly similar to Lu Qingfeng’s.

And so she watched.

Suddenly, the clouds in the sky solidified, the figure drawing closer, her face for the first time animated with emotion.

Not the usual indulgent expression.

Not the usual smile.

Not any affectionate expressions from her memories.

But filled with intense longing, guilt, and joy, he approached from the sky.

Landing on Fu Long Mountain, in the courtyard.

Stunned for a moment, Ao Le’s mind echoed with a familiar voice not heard in fifty-seven thousand years—

"Le’er!"

Looking up.

To see that person approaching.

Millions of words, countless thoughts, and endless regrets of thousands of years, all transformed into the most radiant smile. Tears unknowingly sliding down, Ao Le stood up, her face beaming with infinite joy.

"My husband!"

Disregarding their children nearby, she flung notions of decorum aside, rushing into the arms of the man she longed for every night and day.

Just like before.

Lifting her head against his chest, looking at the familiar face, Ao Le’s smile was even more dazzling, surpassing the brilliant dawn—

"My husband."

"Le’er has missed you so much!"

They embraced tightly.

Never letting go again.
