Chapter 161 The Lady that is Aiqing. (1/2)

A few days had passed.

Aiqing's group finally arrives at the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire, yet, Aiqing remained unconscious.

Huotian and the other two started to get worried, expending one's own Spiritual Energy would require ample amount of time before the cultivator could recover, usually, for a Heaven Encompassing ranked, they'll need at least three days, but Aiqing had already slept for more than six days.

Their group immediately made their way towards the Shi Clan, one of the top clans inside the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire.

”Welcome, Young Master!”

”Welcome, Young Miss!”

”Welcome back, Elder Shi!”

Huotian and the group were welcomed by the servants immediately, Huotian nods his head and led the group inside.

As they arrive in a room, Huotian instructed one of the servants: ”Please prepare a room for this child, she needs a good rest. Also, prepare a banquet full of all types of delicious sweets, it will be for her as well.”

”Yes, Young Master.” The servant nods her head and immediately departs to prepare everything necessary.

Huotian nods his head, he then looks at Vielka: ”Miss Vielka, kindly stay together with Aiqing for a while.”

”We will greet the Clan's patriarch first.”

Vielka nods her head: ”Do as you will, I will guard this little girl while you're not here.”

”Thank you.” Huotian bows his head respectfully and departs together with Shenyu and Shi Lue Yu.

As soon as Huotian and the other two left, Vielka looked at Aiqing: ”How much longer are you planning to pretend to sleep?”

Vielka spoke to Aiqing, yet, the latter didn't even budge, she then added: ”Haaa, suit yourself.”

Aiqing's eyes opened slightly as her lips curves slightly upward before returning to that of an expressionless face.

Vielka couldn't help but sigh, still, she didn't hate Aiqing's willfulness, she actually likes it to a certain degree.

Back to Huotian.

After a while, his group arrives at a huge hall, there are elders sitting on both sides of the hall, meanwhile, in the center, there is a chair that's made of some kind of wood, a man between 50s to 60s is currently looking at their group with a stern face, the Patriarch of the Shi Clan, Shi Li Mang.

Shi Lue Yu proceeded and sat at the closest chair for the elder: ”Brother.”

Shi Li Mang nods his head at his little brother, but his eyes gazed at him for a while: ”You've broken through, brother?”

Shi Lue Yu smiled: ”Yes, let's talk about that later.”

Shi Li Mang nods his head, his gaze then shifts to his son, Huotian.

Huotian bows: ”Father, I am back.”

”Shenyu greets Father-in-law.” Shenyu also bows and offered her greetings.

Shi Li Mang remained stern from Huotian's greetings, yet, hearing Shenyu's greetings, his face softens: ”I hope that my unfilial son didn't cause too much damage in your Kingdom, Yu'er.”

Shenyu shook her head: ”Father-in-law, he's a very remarkable partner for me, I doubt he'll cause ruckus there.”

Shi Li Mang smiled, shifting his gaze towards his son again: ”How had you been?”

Huotian smiled: ”I've been doing great, Father.”

Shi Li Mang's face remained stern, but then, a smile appeared on his face as he asks: ”So... Any progress?”

Huotian chuckles: ”I believe... Father will be expected to be a grandpa in less than a year's time.”

Shi Li Mang smiled, he then laughs: ”Hahaha, good son, you didn't let this old man down.”

Hearing the words of these two, Shenyu couldn't help but blush, her head bowed greatly, still, a smile could be seen from her face.

Pak!

A crisp, loud noise echoes, making the father and son duo's laughter stopped.

Shi Li Mang's head was bent in an odd way, a figure from behind him had smacked his head with an extreme force that caused a shock to explode inside the Grand Hall.

Shi Li Mang didn't even look back as he looks at his son with an angry expression: ”You unfilial son! What kind of thing are you speaking of in front of my daughter-in-law!!!”

Shi Li Mang's words caused everyone to tremble slightly due to the mere power of the voice.

He then continued: ”You should repent yourself later!”

He paused, his head then recovers as he looks at the silhouette from behind him slowly: ”Isn't that right my dear wife? This unfilial son of ours really is such a troublesome child! Hmmp! He should be punished severely!”

The one that smacked Shi Li Mang's head was his one and only wife, Lin Bing bing.

Lin Bing Bing is an expert at initial stage Immortal Foundation rank, although Shi Li Mang is at the peak stage of Immortal Foundation rank, he wouldn't put nor harm a single strand of hair from his wife, after all, it is his duty to protect her as a husband.
