Chapter 149: One Man Subdues an Entire Realm (Additional Update)
Two little porcelain dolls embodied all of An Yan’s longings.
Xue An’s eyes felt sore, and then he chuckled, “Alright, Mom is back now! Xiang Xiang, Nian Nian, are you happy?”
Xue Xiang and Xue Nian nodded together, “Happy!”
“At noon, Dad is going to make you some delicious food! Isn’t that even more exciting?”
Xue Nian’s eyes widened, and she nodded vigorously, “Mmm-hmm, Dad, I’m so happy right now!”
Xue Xiang scowled with a little face, and tapped his sister’s head, “All you think about is eating!”
This scene couldn’t help but make An Yan laugh as well.
“I’ll cook! My dear wife, what would you like to eat?” Xue An asked cheerfully.
An Yan stood up, “Let me do it, you don’t know how to cook.”
Back when they were together, it was mostly An Yan who did the cooking.
Xue An shook his head firmly, “How dare you underestimate this great chef, I’ll show you what the number one chef in The Multiverse Realms is like in a moment!”
In the kitchen.
Xue An juggled the kitchen knife as if performing a trick, almost making it bloom with his skill.
All kinds of dishes were also effortlessly prepared.
An Yan leaned against the door frame, watching quietly.
In the living room, the two little girls were watching TV.
The aroma of the food mixed with the sound of the television, creating a warmth called home.
An Yan closed her eyes, thinking silently to herself, even if this is a dream, I’ll accept it.
And just then, Xue An came up to her ear and whispered, “Open your eyes and see what this is?”
An Yan slowly opened her eyes, only to see a dazzling Blood Pearl in Xue An’s hand.
“Do you like it?” Xue An said with a smile.
An Yan nodded.
Xue An had long since crafted the Blood Pearl into a necklace, “Come! Let me put it on for you!”
Saying this, Xue An put the necklace around An Yan’s neck.
The Blood Pearl dangled from An Yan’s delicate collarbone, shining brilliantly, so beautiful it was dizzying.
Xue An looked at it, somewhat entranced, “It’s so beautiful!”
A blush spread across An Yan’s pale face as she lowered her head and fidgeted with the hem of her clothes shyly.
“Ah, the food is burning!”
Xue An suddenly smelled something burning and quickly turned around to rescue the meal.
An Yan watched Xue An’s busy figure, feeling an unprecedented sense of security in her heart.
He had changed!
Yet he hadn’t.
He had become mature and assertive.
What hadn’t changed was his feelings for her.
Because eyes can’t lie.
“Alright, dinner is ready!”
Xue An brought all the dishes to the table, and the family sat down together.
Xue An suddenly said, “Wait a minute!”
Then he walked out to the balcony, hanging a string of firecrackers out of the window.
The firecrackers were lit, the crackling sounds filling the air and making the atmosphere lively.
After setting off the firecrackers, Xue An returned to the table and smiled slightly, “My wife! Welcome home!”
Just as Xue An and An Yan were basking in the warmth and joy of their long-awaited reunion,
a bomb seemed to have been dropped in the Martial Arts World and the Hidden Immortal Sect, causing an uproar.
The first shocking news was that Xue An had killed almost all the disciples of the Immortal Gates at the spiritual conference.
Many small sects were even wiped out.
Larger sects also suffered heavy losses.
Naturally, this sent shockwaves in all directions.
Many large sects were quick to react, each declaring they would not rest until they had killed Xue An.
In the north, Yuan Chengyu sat in his chair, his face full of murderous intent.
In his drooping hand, numerous Yuan Family elders were still seated.
The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
Smack!
Someone slammed their hand down on the table angrily, “Has our Yuan Family ever suffered such a humiliation? Zong Feng was the successor we carefully groomed, and he was just killed like that? No, we must have our revenge for this!”
The speaker was a Yuan Family elder.
His words also garnered much agreement from the others.
“Right! Exactly!”
“I don’t believe those rumors out there, saying that Xue An alone killed all the disciples of the Immortal Gate. That’s just a joke!”
The crowd was buzzing with discussions.
Yuan Chengyu’s face was as still as water, and after a while, he slowly said, “How have the other Sects responded?”
“The Bitter Zen Temple is maintaining silence, and Night Demon Valley isn’t making a sound either, only Shura Island is clamoring for revenge!”
Yuan Chengyu said indifferently, “It seems many are just waiting to watch the tigers fight from the safety of their mountain!”
Someone sneered, “Just a Xue An after all, although indeed quite formidable, I don’t think he’s any kind of tiger!”
The people nodded.
It was at this moment that a steward, his face pale and his steps hurried, rushed in.
“Family Head!”
Yuan Chengyu slightly furrowed his brow, “What’s with all the panic? What happened?”
The chief steward swallowed hard, hesitating.
“What’s the matter? Speak!” Yuan Chengyu picked up a cup of tea and sipped it slowly.
Only then did the chief steward grit his teeth, “Reporting back to the Family Head, the news we just received, Moonwatching Pavilion… is gone!”
“Moonwatching Pavilion is gone? What do you mean?” Yuan Chengyu had not yet grasped the meaning.
The chief steward’s face was ashen, “It means just what it sounds like, Moonwatching Pavilion… no longer exists!”
Yuan Chengyu’s expression gradually solidified, “No longer exists?”
The chief steward nodded, his eyes flickering with terror, “Not only does Moonwatching Pavilion no longer exist, but even the mountain it was situated on…”
“What happened to the mountain?” Yuan Chengyu asked in a deep voice.
“The mountain has also turned into a flatland!”
The people present gasped in shock.
One person, full of disbelief, said, “Chief steward, are you getting senile? How could a mountain turn into flat ground? Are you suggesting that overnight, the mountain grew legs and ran away?”
The chief steward managed a bitter smile, “I did not believe it at first either, but now, the news has spread far and wide, beyond doubt! And there is concrete information that the last person to be seen on that mountain… was Xue An!”
The room fell into dead silence.
Many of those who were previously filled with scorn and arrogance now finally showed a look of panic.
Though Moonwatching Pavilion was not the most powerful among the Hidden Immortal Sects, it was indeed considered a major faction.
Yet, in one night, not even the mountain peak remained!
What kind of terrifying power was this?
After a long while, Yuan Chengyu said with a dry voice, “Let’s disperse for now, it seems this matter… requires long-term consideration.”
It was not just the Yuan Family.
As the news spread,
the Sects and noble families that were just clamoring for revenge all collectively fell silent.
Because their hearts were filled with fear.
What kind of methods did Xue An use to make such a vast mountain completely disappear?
This collective silence brought about a strange situation in the Martial Arts World.
It seemed that no one dared to talk much about Xue An any longer.
This also left many feeling a profound sense of awe.
Was Xue An alone subjugating the entire Martial Arts World?
Meanwhile, at the Yu Family in Lingnan,
the atmosphere was also somewhat peculiar.
Yu Lang let out a soft sigh, “Mr. Xue has not come back since he left?”
Yu Ran nodded, “I have just asked Ma Cheng; he hasn’t returned!”
Yu Lang then looked towards Shi Xueqing, who had a blank expression on her face.
“Miss Shi, do you know where Mr. Xue has gone?”
