Wayfarer-Chapter 911: Yuers Boldness

The next morning, in Xiao Nanfeng's bedroom in Yongding, Yu'er sat daintily by the window, dressed in vibrant red. Xiao Nanfeng was seated next to her, carefully painting her eyebrows with a fine brush.

"You scoundrel! You didn't even tell my parents before you did this to me," Yu'er pouted, feigning indignation.

After last night's events, the once sweet and innocent Yu'er now carried a hint of mature allure. Her expression was simultaneously pure and seductive, stirring up a fiery passion within Xiao Nanfeng.

He was unable to hold back and picked her up once again.

"Ah, don't mess around!" Yu'er exclaimed.

"I'm not messing around. I just want to hold you tightly," Xiao Nanfeng whispered gently.

Yu'er hadn't yet recovered from their exertion last night, so Xiao Nanfeng refrained from being reckless. He simply held her and planted a gentle kiss on her lips. He couldn't help it—he loved her too much.

Yu'er's cheeks flushed, but she didn't resist. She leaned into Xiao Nanfeng.

Their lips parted after a long moment. Their gazes locked with deep affection and tenderness.

"You insisted on doing such shameful things yesterday!" Yu'er exclaimed shyly.

"That was a dual cultivation technique I learned from an evil monk—but didn't it help you advance your cultivation quickly, too?" Xiao Nanfeng grinned.

"Don't bring it up!" Yu'er covered her face in embarrassment.

"It's fine. You'll get used to it with time," Xiao Nanfeng teased.

"Hmph!" Yu'er rolled her beautiful eyes at him in feigned annoyance. "Did you break through, too?"

"I did. I'm a seventh-stage Golden Immortal now," Xiao Nanfeng replied.

"You're so slow! I'm already a second-stage Boundless Immortal."

"That quickly?" Even Xiao Nanfeng was taken aback.

"Of course! How else could I secure my position as your senior sister?" Yu'er replied smugly.

Xiao Nanfeng knew that much of her progress had to be due to the Yuqing yin pillar she had absorbed.

"You are my senior sister," Xiao Nanfeng reassured her. "But be careful, alright? Advancing too rapidly isn't necessarily a good thing."

"Don't worry! The Yuqing Grandmaster has bequeathed me his full inheritance. To help me comprehend it all quickly, not only did he help me refine a Yuqing yin pillar, he also granted me a massive amount of heart force."

"Oh?" Xiao Nanfeng was taken aback.

"The heart force accelerates my understanding of the grandmaster's techniques and the natural laws they're aligned with. My rapid advancement won't cause any issues," Yu'er promised.

"Good!" Xiao Nanfeng nodded.

"Nanfeng, do you think... I might get pregnant?" Yu'er asked nervously, wrapping her arms around Xiao Nanfeng's neck.

"If you do, we'll welcome the baby. If we get a baby boy, he'll be the crown prince of Dazheng; if we get a baby girl, she'll be the crown princess. When the time comes, we can have Mother-in-Law help us take care of the child," Xiao Nanfeng said with a smile.

Yu'er flushed red and lightly hit Xiao Nanfeng's chest. "Are you crazy? You want my mom to help us? I don't even know how to explain it to her!"

"We'll have to tell her eventually. Actually, your mother should be arriving in just a few days," Xiao Nanfeng said.

"What? My mother's coming?" Yu'er exclaimed, jumping to her feet in surprise.

Xiao Nanfeng pulled her back into his arms. "That's right. I've already sent someone to bring them here. All three of your mothers are on their way."

"What are you planning? All my mothers?" Yu'er exclaimed.

"Not only that, your father should be arriving in a few days too."

"What? Why?" Yu'er exclaimed.

"Isn't it good that they're coming to visit?" Xiao Nanfeng smiled.

Yu'er eyed Xiao Nanfeng, bewildered. "You're joking, aren't you?"

Xiao Nanfeng shook his head. "I'm serious. They're already on their way."

"Why? Just what are you planning?" Yu'er asked, her voice filled with both annoyance and confusion.

Although she didn't regret what she had done with Xiao Nanfeng, they had just formalized their relationship as a couple. Why were her parents already popping up?

"Why, I've invited them to Yongding to stay for some time," Xiao Nanfeng replied, still smiling.

Yu'er was speechless. She didn't understand what Xiao Nanfeng was planning. Wouldn't it be frustrating to have her parents here just as they were starting to develop their relationship intimately?

Given Yu'er's blank look, Xiao Nanfeng decided not to tease her any longer. "I invited your parents here as a precaution—to keep them safe."

"To keep them safe? From what? Are my parents in danger?" Yu'er exclaimed.

Xiao Nanfeng nodded. "The Yuqing holy land is suffering from an internal schism, so I preemptively brought your parents out for their safety."

"Oh? What's going on?" Yu'er exclaimed.

"It's Shi Tianbei, of course. He joined the Yuqing holy land with ulterior motives. I initially sought Yang Chuan's help to force Shi Tianbei to retreat from the wild wastes hidden realm, but his reaction was stronger than I expected. He's now rallying support from the other Mountain Lords in an attempt to depose Shi Tianbei and unseal something in the Yuqing holy land. I realized that there was going to be a huge commotion, so I quickly made your mothers aware of what was happening. They agreed with my plan and snuck away with my subordinates."

"Does my father know?" Yu'er asked.

"Naturally. He returned to the Yuqing holy land with a group of his subordinates, intending to discuss the matter with the other Mountain Lords. He's in support of Yang Chuan, and there's been conflict with Shi Tianbei's faction. I even heard that things devolved into open combat."

"It's that serious?" Yu'er asked, astonished.

Xiao Nanfeng nodded. "The twelve Mountain Lords of the Yuqing holy land have split into two factions. I fear Yang Chuan and your father might not gain the upper hand."

"Why didn't you tell me this sooner?" Yu'er exclaimed anxiously.

"I didn't have time. You were in secluded cultivation and were focusing on your breakthroughs as soon as you returned,"Xiao Nanfeng replied.

"But didn't I finish up yesterday? Why didn't you tell me then?" Yu'er exclaimed.

"We didn't have spare time yesterday or last night, did we?" Xiao Nanfeng teased.

Yu'er blushed and thumped Xiao Nanfeng's chest again. "It's all your fault!"

"Alright, alright, it's my fault," Xiao Nanfeng said, his tone indulgent. "Don't worry. Your mothers are still a few days away. They said that they wanted to visit your second and third brothers first. As for your father and Yang Chuan, their situation won't be resolved overnight. We'll still have another few days of peace."

"You!" Yu'er pouted, then hugged Xiao Nanfeng tightly. "Fine, a few days it is—but over these next few days, you'll have to listen to your senior sister!"

Yu'er kissed Xiao Nanfeng passionately as the two of them enjoyed their privacy.

A few days later, Xia Xingchen's three wives arrived quietly in Yongding with a group of trusted retainers.

"Mother!" Yu'er exclaimed joyfully, rushing into Han Bingdie's arms.

"You little troublemaker, did you do something wrong? Why are you so enthusiastic to see me?" Han Bingdie teased as she patted her daughter.

"I didn't do anything!" Yu'er flushed.

Her guilty conscience betrayed her, and her overly enthusiastic behavior only made Han Bingdie and the others more suspicious.

The three women exchanged knowing glances. Their sharp eyes quickly caught subtle changes in Yu'er's demeanor, confirming their suspicions.

They couldn't help but turn to Xiao Nanfeng.

Xiao Nanfeng bowed deeply. "Greetings, Senior Aunt. Greetings, Seniors."

The three women scrutinized Xiao Nanfeng carefully, who smiled wryly. He could tell that they knew what had happened between him and Yu'er.

"Rest assured, Senior Aunt. Yu'er shall be the empress of Dazheng. I've already written it into Dazheng's code of laws, and a tether has been established between her and Dazheng's sea of fortune. I am waiting to announce this to the world," Xiao Nanfeng said.

"Nanfeng!" Yu'er exclaimed. She stomped her foot in embarrassment.

"You little rascal, did you really think you could hide this from me?" Han Bingdie flicked her daughter's forehead.

"Mother!" Yu'er shouted.

"You know I wouldn't forbid you from being with Nanfeng. Why hide it from me?" Han Bingdie asked, exasperated.

"Mother, you aren't mad?" Yu'er exclaimed in surprise.

"As if it'd make a difference!"

The two women beside Han Bingdie began to chuckle.

"Yu'er, this is a good thing. Why hide it from us?"

"Right, Yu'er, you should be happy about this."

Yu'er's two other mothers teased her as well.

"You, I—" Yu'er's face turned as red as her dress.

Beside them, Xiao Nanfeng jumped in. "Senior Aunt, Seniors, I was the one who asked Yu'er not to reveal the news for the moment. Don't blame her."

The three women smiled. Han Bingdie said, "That's enough. You don't have to hide the truth on Yu'er's behalf."

"To be frank, while Yu'er and I have consummated our marriage, I've refrained from publicizing it because I'm worried that some of my enemies will target Yu'er in order to get at me," Xiao Nanfeng continued.

The three women nodded in understanding.

Han Bingdie fell silent for a moment. "You're right. She might well become a target, especially now, when the Yuqing holy land is fracturing from within. Shi Tianbei is undoubtedly going to make an example of her."

Xiao Nanfeng nodded. "Please don't worry, Senior Aunt. I intend to host a grand wedding with Yu'er once everything is settled. I will, of course, make Mountain Lord Xia aware of our arrangement as well."

The three women nodded.

"Mother, why isn't Father here yet?" Yu'er asked curiously.

"Your father's supporting Yang Chuan at the moment. Yang Chuan's trying to save his mother," Han Bingdie explained.

"His mother?" Yu'er exclaimed.

"Four centuries ago, Yang Chuan's mother was a serious contender for the position of Yuqing hierarch, but some things happened that caused her to be sealed. No one was able to do anything about it until Nanfeng revealed Shi Tianbei's identity. Yang Chuan has identified that the circumstances that caused his mother to be sealed were the result of Shi Tianbei's conspiracy. He's making a big fuss to clear her name."

"To think Yang Chuan's mother would be such a notable figure..." Yu'er murmured.

"Not only that, Yang Chuan even suspects that Shi Tianbei was responsible for the previous hierarch's death. The Mountain Lords of Yuqing are all in disarray now."

"I see." Yu'er frowned. "Have they come to any conclusions yet?"

"You'll have to ask Nanfeng. I'm not aware of how the situation has developed," Han Bingdie replied.

Xiao Nanfeng said, "My subordinates state that Mountain Lord Xia and Yang Chuan have left the Yuqing holy land with almost half the Yuqing disciples. Once they finish helping the disciples settle down, they'll come over."
