Chapter 757: Three Days Later
Three days passed quickly, which meant a month in their residence at the Ancient Qin Clan. Chen Li left Zhao Ying, Huo Qingya, Diao Hudie, and Di Chen, who were still sleeping, with a satisfied smile.
"Father!" Chen Li smiled as he saw his little daughter run toward him, and he immediately carried Feng Yan’er. "Have you had enough fun with them, Father?"
"Hahaha." Chen Li laughed at that. "Why don’t you cultivate?"
Feng Yan’er pursed her lips before complaining. "I was bored, so I took a break from my cultivation. Besides, you previously spent a whole month with my four mothers, so I wanted to spend time with you."
"I will accompany you today." Chen Li then took his daughter out of the main house, but he didn’t find anyone in their residence area, as everyone went to train by fighting beasts in several other areas, under the supervision of Xiao Shijiang and the others.
Chen Meiyi suddenly came out of the Tianyi Realm and took Old Tang and Luo Zhenhai with her. "Even though the process was so difficult and long, he finally succeeded in becoming a cultivator like the others. I’ve already explained everything to him, and they should cultivate here to improve faster since the Qi is stronger than in the Tianyi Realm."
"Alright." Chen Li had no problem with that, as Old Tang and Luo Zhenhai were his fathers-in-law, since Tang Wan and Luo Yi were his wives. "Old Tang, welcome to the family."
Old Tang let out a soft sigh and patted his shoulder. "Back then, our relationship was neither good nor bad, but your relationship with the Long Family was destitute. However, it’s all over now, and my daughter is now your wife. Although I still feel quite strange about our relationship and all these changes, I am grateful to you."
"It’s alright; we don’t need to talk about the past anymore." Chen Li replied with a smile. "For now, we will only look to the future, as the road ahead is still long. Since you’ve just become a cultivator, I want you to focus on your cultivation to catch up with others. I’ll give you some items that can help you improve your cultivation faster."
Old Tang nodded at him. "Thank you."
"There’s no need for thanks between us." Chen Li then spoke to Luo Zhenhai. "You have swallowed Xiao Huoli’s pills, but I will still give you some other items later. However, I have to meet some people first for that, and I will give everything to you later."
Luo Zhenhai massaged his forehead because Chen Meiyi had already explained it to him before, but he did not reject Chen Li’s wishes as it was the best way for him. "I will be waiting for you."
"You two can stay with my other families in that building." After Old Tang and Luo Zhenhai went into the building, Chen Li brought Feng Yan’er into the Tianyi Realm, but they didn’t stay there for long, and he brought his daughter out again moments later.
Chen Li then took Feng Yan’er to an empty area in their residence, followed by Chen Meiyi. He threw the Divine Yin-Yang Pagoda to the ground, where it immediately enlarged. "At first, I didn’t plan to take this pagoda out because I was afraid that people would notice it if they passed in front of this realm, but I changed my mind after Xiao Shijian enveloped this realm with a formation, so I think everything will be fine."
"Yeah," Chen Meiyi agreed before walking away. "Li’er, I’ve worked hard to help them for several months, so I’ll go rest now, and I’ll dual cultivate with you again after I’ve fully recovered."
"Where do you want to go first, Yan’er?" Feng Yan’er pointed toward the snowy mountain, so Chen Li immediately took her there through the void.

Soon, they arrived at the new Mystic Moon Sect, and Chen Li immediately took Feng Yan’er inside the sect. "Xue Lan built her new sect completely similar to the one in the Seven Moon Realms. Are you feeling cold, Yan’er?"
"No." Feng Yan’er shook her head. "Father, I’m a fire phoenix, remember? This place is cold to others, but this cold is nothing to me."
Chen Li pinched her nose. "You look more and more like your mother, you know?"
"I’m my mother’s daughter, so I definitely look like her, Father." Chen Li smiled hearing that from Feng Yan’er. "However, I will be prettier than my mother when I grow up, as I have a handsome father."
"Hahaha!" Chen Li laughed out loud, startling the female disciples around them. "The phoenix is the most beautiful creature in this universe, and your mother is the most beautiful I have ever seen. The first time I saw her, I knew that she was the woman destined to be my empress. Therefore, I immediately proposed to her even though she had just hatched from her egg, and she had accompanied me for so long in the past."
"Does that mean I’m not as beautiful as my mother?" Feng Yan’er narrowed her small eyes.
Chen Li smiled, amused by her expression. "Of course, you’re as lovely as your mother, and you’ll be even prettier when you’re older."
"Hahaha." Feng Yan’er laughed in joy after hearing that. "Father, why don’t you take Aunt Lan as your wife?"
"Hmm?" Chen Li looked at Xue Lan, who was walking toward them. "Have you heard my story with her, Yan’er?"
Feng Yan’er nodded slightly. "My mother told me that Aunt Lan was a snow mountain spirit in the past, and you found her at the top of the mountain when you visited her realm. However, you left her for a long time because of those people’s betrayal, and those bad people forced her to detonate her cultivation core."
"That’s right." Chen Li let out a heavy sigh. "Lan’er is like my own daughter, and she has always regarded me as her father, so I never thought of taking her as my wife."
"But—"
"Father." Xue Lan called out softly when she arrived in front of them. "Do you like my new sect, Father?"
"Hahaha." Feng Yan’er laughed amusedly as Xue Lan hugged Chen Li’s arm in a pampered manner, similar to when she hugged him. "Aunt Lan, you—"
"Yan’er!" Xue Lan interrupted Feng Yan’er. "I told you to address me as your big sister, remember? Your father is also my father; that makes me your big sister, okay?"
Feng Yan’er shook her head slightly. "In the past, you were my father’s daughter, but in this life, you are Grandpa Aotian and Grandma Qingcheng’s daughter. Therefore, you are no longer my father’s daughter, and I will call you Aunt Lan forever."
"You—" Xue Lan swallowed her anger, considering that the person she was talking to was just a little girl. "Humph! I don’t care about you anymore! He was my father in my past life, and he’ll be my father in this life and the next!"
"Hehe." Feng Yan’er giggled and teased her. "Are you sure you don’t want to care about me anymore, Aunt Lan? I’m such a cute and smart little girl."
"Humph!" Xue Lan snorted and pulled them away with her. "My family lives in this sect now, and I’ve asked Xueyan to live with us to speed up her cultivation, especially when you’re busy with your other wives like you have been the past few days. However, she prefers to stay with you, so I hope you can persuade her."
Chen Li nodded at her. "I’ll talk to Xueyan, and I’ll ask her to stay here when she’s not dual cultivating with me."
"That’s great!" Xue Yan then told him something else. "Father, my new sect still lacks one thing, but I can’t find anything similar in this realm."
"The icy pond."
"Yes." Xue Lan nodded at him. "Can you think of something for that? The Qi and the cold here are indeed stronger than in the Seven Moon Realms, but they are not enough for ice cultivators like us, and we need something like the icy pond, especially Zi Zenyu with her extreme yin physique. Since there are several spirit women by your side, I thought they could help us with that, but Sister Bing’er told me to talk to you first."
"Hmm?" Chen Li thought for a moment. "Bing’er, Diqiu, and Huoli should be able to help you with that. However, I can’t be sure yet, and I’ll try talking to them after this. If they have a solution, I’ll have them work on it right away. Even if the three of them can’t do something, we still have Ou Yongjie and Jiao Zhixin, and they can probably do something using the technology they have in the Tianshan Realm."
Xue Lan actually wanted to ask Ou Yongjie and Jiao Zhixin for help, but she didn’t know the two of them very well, and they were also much stronger than her. "Thank you, Father."
"Haha." Chen Li rubbed her head. "You addressed me as your father, so why are you thanking me? It’s a father’s job to help his daughter, remember?"
"Hehe." Xiao Lan giggled and hugged his arm tightly.
After they explored the new Mystic Moon Sect and chatted with a few people there, Chen Li took Feng Yan’er to the area where the former residents of the Seven Moon Realms lived, and he took her to meet one of his women, Leng Yueyan, the former sect master of the Blue Moon Sect.
