"Everything is arranged properly now, I can finally relax a bit."
Li Wei let out a long breath and stretched. He watched in the game as his family developed. Li Kuangren and Li Kuanghua had already departed for the border and were maintaining a very low profile. And there was Li Dalong, leading the family's children, lurking stealthily in the Endless Forest, just like they were fighting in the Silver Iron Forest many years ago. Relying on their generations of hunting experience and their ability to adventure outside, they would basically not encounter danger.
Every day during these past days, he had been tense, always worried that with a single misstep, the family would perish or be forced to flee.
Now it's good, the situation in Azure Cloud Region has turned around, the Li family is standing on the side of humanity, they can safely develop in obscurity, and he also has free time now.
Just as Li Wei was preparing to have a long-awaited, deep sleep, he still paused in front of the computer screen for a moment.
A piece of information caught his eye.
[Your descendant-grandson's wife, Qingyu, has given birth to a son for the family after a ten-month pregnancy. The child is named Li Changan.]
Li Wei quickly switched the screen.
[North Sea City · Fishermen's Village]
It was a small village located near the north of the Azure Dynasty and close to the sea, with fish drying outside every household. Qingyu, who was once the Mistress of Cloudsea Pavilion and the Li family's Main Wife, was now wearing simple yellow clothing, barefoot on the beach holding a child. She allowed the seawater to splash against her calves, gazing distantly at the boundless sea shimmering in the sunlight, saying, "Kuangtu, you never saw the sea in your entire life. In the future, your spirit tablet will face the ocean, so you can look at it to your heart's content."
Saying this, she teased the child in her arms, "Changan, may you be everlasting and peaceful, safe and sound. In the future, just you and me, mother and son, will live happily and peacefully here, okay? Little Changan?"
Li Wei remained silent for a long time. Qingyu left with the child. Everyone in the Li family knew about it and didn't overly interfere.
She could feel that the Li family was willing to sacrifice everything to protect the family. She was afraid that Little Changan would end up like Kuangtu.
"Well, let's hope they live happily."
Everyone's aspirations are different; Li Wei couldn't stop a mother's wish.
Immediately afterwards.
He found Li Dalong. Li Dalong, having heard the news, fell into a long silence just like Li Wei. Finally, he let out a long sigh, "Ancestor, if it weren't for Kuangtu, perhaps our Li family would still be on the run now. Perhaps the entire Azure Cloud Region would have been swallowed by the Wu Tribe. How could we have today? Our entire family owes them—this whole family of theirs."
Raging Sky Flood Dragon appeared and conveyed Li Wei's message, "Master says, do not disturb, protect them in secret."
"Yes!"
Not long after, Li Dalong found Jiu Fengzi (the drunken madman). This fellow, looking quite drunk, glanced at Li Dalong and said, "Brother Dalong, this matter you're asking about is not easy. That's North Sea City, just traveling there will take a month, and who knows how long we'll have to protect them? It's also close to the Imperial City, if I, a demonic cultivator, am not careful and get exposed, I'll lose my life."
"An Earth-Rank cultivation technique." Li Dalong's voice was calm. "You have been at the Golden Core Peak for many years, and have long begun to condense your nascent soul, but you have been hampered by mediocre cultivation techniques and lack of external objects to help you withstand the lightning tribulation. Therefore, you have hesitated to undergo the tribulation for a long time. This trip to protect the mother and child is precisely the time to comprehend the cultivation technique. When you return to Azure Cloud Region, my Li family will help you break through to become a Nascent Soul cultivator."
"As for the danger, you will take my Heavenly Corpse with you. This Heavenly Corpse is named Long Xuan Kong and possesses the Long Family's secret techniques. In case of danger, you can summon it."
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiu Fengzi (the drunken madman) angrily said, "Li Dalong, you underestimate Jiu Fengzi too much! Even without these things, just based on my friendship with your family, I would still go on this trip!"
After this day.
North Sea City gained a new tea house. The owner of the tea house was an extremely beautiful woman who rarely showed her face. The sound of a baby crying came from within the tea house. Outside the tea house, there was an old beggar who was drunk all day, wandering around with broken bowls and chopsticks begging, counting the days as they passed.
...
"I hope you mother and son live the most carefree life."
Li Wei also sent his blessings to the mother and son. Then he lay down on the bed, pulled up the quilt, and was just about to close his eyes when his body stiffened.
"Ring ring ring..."
Picking up his phone and looking at the caller ID, Li Wei for the first time felt that not having friends outside was actually a good thing. "Hello, Sister Xiao, why are you calling again? I'm a useless person, the hopeless kind. You should still leave the Spirit Examination Team position for someone with talent. If you really can't find anyone, I can introduce someone to you… I know one person who used to be in the Hundred Schools Tournament, with Thunder Spiritual Root. If he hadn't been kidnapped by bad guys during the competition, he would definitely have been the champion."
