Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 1158 - 1159: Xiao Tianyu Has Returned

You could say she was already a bona fide goddess.

As for Xiao Yuanshan and Duanmu Lanshan, in these three years they had aged a lot, and also grown much more haggard. There were even faint wrinkles on their faces—despite being Martial Cultivators.

It showed just what their lives had been like these past three years.

"Ling'Er, do you think your brother will forgive us?"

Duanmu Lanshan gazed at Long Ling'Er.

Three years ago, Xiao Tianyu had acknowledged Long Ling'Er as his younger sister, so there was nothing inappropriate about Duanmu Lanshan's words. Moreover, Long Ling'Er's every move was quite similar to Xiao Ziyan's, which made Duanmu Lanshan and Xiao Yuanshan extremely fond of her.

Long Ling'Er's beautiful eyes shimmered. "With my brother's personality, I'm not too sure either. After all, everything you did to him back then was really too cruel. Eight years old—at that time Brother Tianyu was only eight—and just because he couldn't cultivate, you heartlessly drove him out of the family, and even said he was the biggest failure of your entire lives!"

"Even a vicious tiger won't eat its cubs—what about you two?"

At these words, guilt flashed across Duanmu Lanshan and Xiao Yuanshan's faces at the same time. So many years had passed, but they had never forgotten that scene.

And Long Ling'Er continued, "I promised Sister Ziyan I'd try my best to talk Brother Tianyu around for you. Now that the three-year deadline is almost up, I figure Brother Tianyu should be coming back soon!"

"Mn!" The two elders nodded, deeply regretting everything they had done in the past.

To be fair, three years ago they had tried to curry favor with Xiao Tianyu because of his strength, but three years later, that was no longer the case. This time it was true repentance—you could see it just from those few wrinkles on their faces.

You had to know that Martial Cultivators had very long lifespans. They were only a little over sixty now, and judging by the age of Martial Cultivators, they were still considered young. Yet there were wrinkles on their faces already—clearly, these three years had been unbearably hard on them.

"Ling'Er, so you really are here!" A woman's voice drifted over. Long Ling'Er's beautiful eyes turned. "Sister Yunxi, were you looking for me?"

Indeed, the newcomer was none other than Gu Yunxi, the CEO of Gu Corporation and also a disciple of Emperor Star Academy.

Back then, for Xiao Tianyu's sake, she had chased all the way from Fengzhou City across countless miles to the Imperial Capital of the Ancient Martial Realm.

However, the current Gu Yunxi had an extraordinarily outstanding aura, even carrying a faint trace of mystery about her. Clearly, her Cultivation had advanced greatly over these three years.

"Sister Biyue asked me to come get you. She said she has something to discuss!" Gu Yunxi smiled faintly, then turned to Xiao Yuanshan and his wife and greeted them respectfully, "Hello, Uncle, Auntie!"

The two of them stood up and replied with smiles.

"Sister Yunxi, let's go!" After Long Ling'Er greeted Duanmu Lanshan, she followed Gu Yunxi out of the courtyard, heading to the courtyard where Shangguan Biyue lived. Once inside, she saw Shangguan Biyue, Lu Die'Er, and the others all there.

Especially Shangguan Biyue and Lu Die'Er—back then, they were among the four most famous goddesses in the Imperial Capital. Add Gu Yunxi to the mix, and this little courtyard had basically gathered the most beautiful goddesses of the entire Ancient Martial Realm.

"Sister Biyue, what did you call me here for?" Long Ling'Er's beautiful eyes sparkled. Shangguan Biyue's faint smile was enough to topple cities as she said, "The three-year deadline is just about up now, and our Cultivation has all stepped into the Supreme Ultimate Realm. I'd say that bastard should be on his way back, right?"

With that, Shangguan Biyue's beautiful eyes lifted to the sky, a look of longing flashing within. If that bastard doesn't make it back on time, he'd better not touch this lady again, humph…

As for why their Cultivation had advanced so fast, of course it was thanks to the cultivation resources Xiao Tianyu had left behind in the past.

"Sister Biyue, did you hold it in for three years and start missing my brother?" Long Ling'Er looked at Shangguan Biyue with a grin, then continued, "When my brother left back then, you couldn't wait for him to get lost. You even said having a boyfriend whose body's too good is such a headache; best if he had three wives and four concubines to share the burden. Who knows, maybe this time when my brother comes back he'll really bring back a few sisters-in-law for me. In three years, it wouldn't even be surprising if he's already carrying a big nephew around!"

"He wouldn't dare!" Shangguan Biyue snapped without thinking. Swish, swish, swish—instantly, all the girls' beautiful eyes fell on her with strange looks. A flush swept across Shangguan's face. She'd actually been led right into Ling'Er's trap?

"Tsk tsk tsk~ Sister Biyue knows how to get jealous now? Weren't you all high and mighty before, saying if he didn't bring three to five women back with him, you and my Brother Tianyu were done? How come it's only been three years and you've changed your tune?"

Pffft~

Long Ling'Er's words drew sweet laughter from Lu Die'Er and Gu Yunxi.

"You just get more and more out of line as you grow up, huh?" Shangguan Biyue shot Long Ling'Er a sidelong look. Long Ling'Er smiled lightly. "I only repeated what you said three years ago, that's all!"

Long Ling'Er went on, "But can't really blame you. After holding it in for three years, even if my brother's body is that good, I'm afraid he still won't be able to survive you tormenting him!"

"..." Was she really going that dirty?

The girls all looked over at Long Ling'Er, speechless. Three years really could change a person—at the very least, it had definitely changed Long Ling'Er.

"Ling'Er, you're spouting nonsense again!" A voice sliced through the air.

"I'm happy to!" As soon as the words left her mouth, Long Ling'Er's heart tightened. Her beautiful eyes lifted to the distant sky, where two figures were stepping out from the clouds, whistling toward them. The other girls naturally noticed as well, especially Shangguan Biyue, who couldn't wait and stepped into the air toward the void.

"Do you have to be that impatient?" Long Ling'Er muttered under her breath, though truthfully, she was just as eager inside.

Buzz, buzz, buzz~

Very quickly, Lu Die'Er, Gu Yunxi, and Long Ling'Er all shot into the sky one after another.

"You bastard, you didn't forget us, did you?" Standing in midair, Shangguan Biyue fixed her gaze on that long-missed handsome figure. Swish, swish—tears spilled down in streams, and regardless of who was watching, she threw herself straight into Xiao Tianyu's arms.

Three years.

Shangguan Biyue had waited three whole years, and finally she'd waited Xiao Tianyu back.

"Do you have to be that worked up?" Xiao Tianyu looked at Shangguan Biyue in his arms and smiled gently. "There are people watching, you know."

"I don't care, I just want you to hold me!" Shangguan Biyue pouted coquettishly, leaving Xiao Tianyu with a speechless look on his face. Women really were emotional creatures. Very soon, Shangguan Biyue's red lips pressed down on Xiao Tianyu's mouth.

Qiao Ling'Er stood to the side, stunned as she watched it all. Was this sister treating her like air? And this sister was really beautiful—no wonder back in the Divine Realm, Big Brother had looked down on Yao Mei'Er.

"Hey, hey, hey… are you two done yet?" Qiao Ling'Er was feeling extremely speechless.

"Not yet!" Shangguan Biyue replied. Qiao Ling'Er smiled faintly. "Then carry on. Pretend I'm not here!"

With that, Qiao Ling'Er's beautiful eyes turned to Lu Die'Er, and her heart trembled as well. This sister's looks weren't a bit inferior to Yao Mei'Er's. Earth really was a land that produced heroes—and a ridiculous number of beauties. Not to mention, Long Ling'Er and Gu Yunxi were also breathtakingly pretty.
