After knowing that Yu Huang was going to invite so many people, Liuli Luoluo said, âThen itâs a large-scale banquet.â
âThatâs right.â Yu Huang smiled and said indifferently, âIâve been married to Young Master Sheng for almost four years. Iâm tired of there being just the two of us, so I want to have a child.â Yu Huang touched her stomach and pretended to be disappointed. âBut in the current situation, Iâm afraid itâs very difficult to get pregnant, so I want to invite the other women over and have a good chat.â
With that said, Yu Huang blinked at Liuli Luoluo and said, âSister-in-law, you should come too.â
Liuli Luoluo nodded and said, âOkay.â
After delegating the task to Liuli Luoluo, Yu Huang didnât have to worry about it anymore. In the morning, she returned to Yufu City with Sheng Xiao. Lan Yao came to the city gate to wait for them.
Yufu City floated on the lake, so Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao flew up from the lake and landed on the square outside Yufu City. When they looked up, they saw a beautiful woman standing on the city wall in the distance.
Lan Yao was wearing a silver-white cheongsam with a pure white fur shawl draped over her shoulders. Her black hair was fixed with a jade hairpin. She wore light makeup and matching blue jewelry on her neck and ears. As she stood on the city wall, even Yu Huang felt mesmerized by her enchanting figure.
Damn!
With such a charming mother-in-law, Yu Huang felt immense pressure.
Sheng Xiao stared at his mother for a few more seconds. Then, he held Yu Huangâs hand and walked towards the city wall.
The city gate was wide open. Lan Yao walked down the stone stairs from the city wall. After she tiptoed and held Sheng Xiaoâs face, she kissed Sheng Xiaoâs forehead domineeringly, ignoring his resistance, she rubbed Sheng Xiaoâs face hard and said with a smile, âBig baby, why arenât you smiling and greeting your mother?â
When Yu Huang heard the term âbig babyâ, she couldnât help but turn her head and snicker.
Sheng Xiaoâs expression darkened. âHow old am I? Donât call me that anymore.â
Lan Yao smiled proudly and let go of Sheng Xiaoâs hand. Then, she pinched Yu Huangâs cheek with a smile as she looked at Yu Huang with relief. âOur little Phoenix is getting more and more beautiful.â
Little Phoenix was what the fans called Yu Huang.
Lan Yao was Yu Huangâs fan. When she saw that Yu Huang was getting more and more beautiful, she was naturally happy.
And when she thought about how such a beautiful girl had become her daughter-in-law, she felt even more smug.
âMom, welcome back.â Yu Huang hugged Lan Yao.
âI didnât expect to see you guys again.â
Recently, the situation had been tense. Sheng Lingfeng had less time to go home. When he was busy, he would rest at the Alliance Meeting. Even though he knew that Sheng Xiao and the others were coming back, he couldnât come back for a meal. The three of them ate lunch together.
Lan Yao sighed as she looked at the table full of delicacies. âIf only Yang Yang could come back.â
Sheng Xiao hadnât seen Sheng Yang for three years, so he was curious about her current situation. He asked Lan Yao, âWhat has Yang Yang been doing recently? Has she successfully advanced to the fifth grade?â Sheng Yang was talented and her combat strength wasnât bad. Logically speaking, she wouldnât stay behind.
Lan Yao nodded and said, âYes, she broke through to the Master Realm last year.â
This was good news.
âAlthough Yang Yang is not as talented as the two of you, sheâs not bad.â Lan Yao put down her chopsticks and said worriedly, âIn four months, you will have to go to the Great World.â
Sheng Xiao knew that Lan Yao had something to say. He looked at her calmly and said, âYes.â
As the president of the Beast Tamer Alliance, Sheng Lingfeng must know how dangerous the trip to the Central Pagoda four months later was. As Sheng Lingfengâs wife, Lan Yao naturally knew about these things as well.
âIf you guys can successfully go to the Great World, who knows how many years we will have to wait for you guys to return? Perhaps when you guys come back, Yang Yang will already be married, but this is not what I am the most concerned about.â Lan Yao held Sheng Xiao and Yu Huangâs hands as she lamented, âIt sounds like an enviable thing to leave the Holy Spirit Continent and go to the Great World to further your studies, but if you leave the Holy Spirit Continent, you will be a child who has left your hometown and parents.â
âOn the Holy Spirit Continent, one of you is the noble Young Master of the Sheng family, and the other is the Patriarch of the Yin family. But in the Great World, you two are just country bumpkins from a small place. You have no backer or resources. You can only fight for everything you want.â
âI actually donât want you two to leave, but you two leaving is for better growth and development.â Lan Yao kissed Sheng Xiao and Yu Huangâs arms respectively and wished them well. âMy children, I hope you can be safe and become more capable.â

When they left the Sheng family, Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang felt heavy-hearted.
Standing on the deck of the ship heading to Jingdu, Yu Huang asked Sheng Xiao, âAre you reluctant to leave the Holy Spirit Continent?â
Sheng Xiao asked Yu Huang, âWhat about you?â
Yu Huang nodded and said, âOf course. However, I wonât feel sad.â
âWhy?â
Yu Huang pointed at the sky and said, âNo matter how exciting, gorgeous, and dangerous the Great World is, itâs only my training ground. I will still return to the Holy Spirit Continent in the end. I will eventually see the family I care about again. So, Iâm not sad.â
Yu Huang looked at Sheng Xiao with a bright smile as she said, âYou have to leave your hometown first in order to return. I believe that I will come back, so Iâm not sad.â
When he heard these words, Sheng Xiaoâs sadness was swept away.
âYouâre right. This is home. Weâll come back one day.â

The news that Yu Huang was holding a tea party quickly spread throughout the entire cultivation world of the Divine Realm Continent.
Who was Yu Huang?
She was someone who had become the Yin Clanâs Patriarch at such a young age and had several big shots backing her.
Which woman in the cultivation world didnât want to participate in Yu Huangâs first tea party?
If word got out, it would be so glorious for them.
After knowing that Yu Huang was going to hold a tea party, the madams and young ladies of the cultivation families were all looking forward to receiving the invitation to the tea party.
The next day, fiery red little phoenixes flew up from the top of the Yin Clanâs Eight Towers Mountain. Those phoenixes were all condensed from rich spiritual power. The little phoenixes held exquisite invitations in their mouths as they fluttered their small wings and flew in different directions.
Beautiful invitations were handed to the guests.
The tea party would be held in two days, but the next morning after receiving the invitation, guests from other countries and cities arrived in Jingdu on a private plane. They checked into Jingduâs Beast Tamer International Hotel and emptied many large shopping malls. They carefully chose the most gorgeous gowns and the most luxurious and exquisite jewelry.
Which woman wasnât vain?
However, this group of people was also smart. Although they were vain, this was a tea party organized by Yu Huang. They could be beautiful, but they couldnât overshadow Yu Huang.
Therefore, before choosing the gown, they used their connections to find out the color and style of the gown Yu Huang was going to wear at the tea party.
They were afraid that they would offend Yu Huang by wearing the same gown.
