Just out of seclusion, and already heading to the Immortal-Demon Secret Realm?
Is it for Mu Yunyao?
"Little Chen."
Huh?
Little Chen?
"What's wrong? As your future father-in-law, isn't it fitting for me to call you that?" Seeing Chen Chang'an's expression, Mu Tianye said with displeasure.
"Well, in principle, it should be."
"But, who did you discuss this marriage with?"
"Does my master know about it?"
"Did she agree?" Chen Chang'an asked helplessly.
"She... sort of tacitly approved."
Huh?
What do you mean by "sort of tacitly approved"?
Don’t tell me this is another unilateral decision by your Mu family?
"This time, it wasn’t our doing."
"She really did tacitly approve," Mu Tianye quickly explained.
"Whatever. I’ll ask her directly when I see her."
"Your Mu family... isn’t exactly reliable."
What kind of nonsense is that?
How is our Mu family unreliable?
But recalling Mu Yunyao’s past experiences, Mu Tianye couldn’t really argue.
"If you want to ask her in person, that might be difficult."
"The Immortal-Demon Secret Realm—you can’t enter right now."
Can’t enter?
Chen Chang'an gave Mu Tianye a strange look. Why not? Does the secret realm also have a fixed opening time?
"Is the entrance not open yet?" Chen Chang'an asked.
"Indeed, it’s not."
"Back when Yunyao entered, it was because I told her the secret realm was about to open."
"So when she chose to go in, she didn’t have to wait long."
"Though the cycle between openings isn’t too long, it’ll still be another thirty or forty years before it opens again."
"If you want to enter, you’ll have to wait that long."
Another thirty or forty years?
That’s way too long!
"You think that’s long?"
"Isn’t it... actually quite short?"
Mu Tianye was a bit confused. Normally, a cycle of around a hundred years was considered very fast.
After all, for people like them, a casual seclusion session could easily last a century.
"Fine, then I’ll focus on gathering the Law Fragments first."
"When the Immortal-Demon Secret Realm opens next, I’ll come back."
"Actually, just tell me where the entrance is."
"I’ll go there myself," Chen Chang'an said.
"Alright."
Mu Tianye nodded and then told Chen Chang'an the location of the secret realm’s entrance.
"By the way, where are Da Huang and the others?"
"Haven’t seen them."
Chen Chang'an had already left seclusion, but there was no sign of the three idiots—Da Huang and his gang. As for Chen Qingqing, she had been sitting motionless in the room the Mu family arranged for her.
When Da Huang and his group were mentioned, Mu Tianye’s expression darkened, as if he was suppressing anger.
"What kind of company do you keep?"
"Is that really the Holy Lord of the Qilin?"
"Why does he keep insisting on visiting brothels?"
"Did you teach him that?" Mu Tianye asked with a frown.
"Don’t pin this on me. I’m a gentleman—I’d never go to such places."
"Da Huang picked up bad habits from the wrong crowd in his youth."
"So they went to a brothel?"
"Your Mu family has brothels?" Chen Chang'an asked in surprise.
Huh?
What kind of question is that? How could the Mu family possibly have such businesses? That’d be a joke!
"No, absolutely not."
"Our Mu family is a respectable household."
"They went out looking for brothels."
"And they even dragged Yunhai along!" Mu Tianye’s face was full of resentment.
But there was nothing he could do. By the time he realized, Mu Yunhai had already left with them.
"Alright, I’ll go find them first."
"Oh, and one more thing!"
"Since I’m here as your future son-in-law..."
"Shouldn’t you show some appreciation?"
Show appreciation?
Who should be showing appreciation?
Shouldn’t you, the son-in-law, be the one bringing gifts? And now you’re asking me for something?
"Chen Chang'an, you came here empty-handed, took a Law Fragment from my Mu family, and now you want me to give you more?"
"Don’t you think that’s a bit much?" Mu Tianye asked helplessly.
"What’s wrong with that?"
"The Ye family was very generous—they gave me half their resources."
"Shouldn’t you do the same?"
Half their resources?
The Ye family was that generous?
Then again, considering the situation they were in at the time, it made sense—Chen Chang'an had solved a major problem for them.
"You already have half the Ye family’s resources, and you’re still not satisfied?"
"Come on, who would ever complain about having too many resources?"
"Just give me something, as a token."
"We’re family—don’t be stingy."
Seeing Chen Chang'an’s scheming expression, Mu Tianye gritted his teeth. What kind of disciple did Mu Yunyao take in?
"Fine, I’ll give you something, alright?"
Mu Tianye reluctantly handed over all the resources he had on him, only to receive a disdainful look from Chen Chang'an.
"You’re really tight-fisted."
"Whatever, I won’t hold it against you. After all, you are my future father-in-law."
"I’ll take my leave now. I’ll visit again sometime."
"Oh, and next time, prepare more."
Watching Chen Chang'an walk away, Mu Tianye was so furious he could barely contain himself. Anyone watching would think Chen Chang'an was the head of the Mu family.
Meanwhile, Chen Qingqing had already arrived at the exit of Little Cloud Heaven, waiting for Chen Chang'an.
"What’s the plan now?" Chen Qingqing asked.
Huh?
This might be the first time Chen Qingqing had actively asked about Chen Chang'an’s next steps.
"First, find Da Huang and the others."
"Then we’ll definitely visit the Dragon and Phoenix Clans."
"The sooner we gather all the Law Fragments, the sooner I can focus on tracking down the last one."
"Alright, let’s go then."
"I know where they are."
After leaving Little Cloud Heaven, Chen Chang'an and Chen Qingqing dragged Da Huang and his gang out of the brothel.
"Brother-in-law, you’re leaving me behind again?"
"I want to come too!"
Upon hearing that Chen Chang'an was heading to the Dragon and Phoenix Clans without him, Mu Yunhai felt wronged.
"You’re too weak. Focus on training."
"I’ll take you along next time."
Weak?
He was already at the Immortal Emperor realm—how was that weak?
"Brother-in-law, am I really that weak?"
"Fine, I’m not as strong as Da Huang, but am I worse than those two?"
"Little Qiu is only at the first level of Immortal Emperor too."
"You’re comparing yourself to it? Do you even know what it is?"
"What?"
"A dragon. It’s literally from the Dragon Clan—how can you compare?"
"What about that one?"
"Yi Tuo? Yi Tuo might not have cultivation, but even Da Huang might not be a match for it. You really want to compare?"
"Fine, fine! Then what about her?" Mu Yunhai pointed at Chen Qingqing indignantly.
Seeing this, Da Huang and the other two couldn’t bear to watch.
"What? What’s wrong?" Seeing their expressions, Mu Yunhai felt like he’d done something stupid.
"She’s stronger than my big bro."
"That’s what’s wrong!"
"What?!"
"Stronger than my brother-in-law?"
"For now, yes. She can easily obliterate a peak Immortal Emperor. Go ahead, compare!"
"Holy sht!"
"As expected, I am the weakest!"
