Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu finally went home under Old Fang’s cajoling and insistence.
The sect leaders of Yin Yang Sect and Kui Lian Sect also returned to their respective sects. This storm seemed to have passed with lighthearted verbal sparring, but the undercurrents and the suppressed resentment in the hearts of several families grew stronger and more fermented.
Old Fang, bringing the two of them, found a large city and directly used the teleportation array to arrive at Feng Ju Kingdom, where the Fang family resided.
The Fang family’s location was in the northern part of Feng Ju Kingdom, occupying an entire prefecture. That territory was entirely Fang family private land, containing mountains, water, basins, and plains. It was vast, and all the inhabitants were Fang family members, affiliated families, and rogue cultivators who had joined them.
Although the Fang family’s private land was only the size of that prefecture, in reality, the entire Feng Ju Kingdom, and even the entire northern region of the Central Domain, were areas under the Fang family’s jurisdiction.
Even the capital of Feng Ju Kingdom, its national flag, and the royal flag had to be divided into two sides, with the Fang family’s banner in the center, and its height higher than the other two banners.
After leaving the capital and flying north for a short distance, they reached the Fang family’s mountain gate. Its grandeur and magnificence are beyond description; you can imagine it yourself.
“Here, that’s my home. Isn’t it big?”
Sister Xiaoyu was exceptionally happy to be home, proudly pointing to the boundless rolling mountains and architectural complex in the distance.
This was Wan Lei’s first time visiting a major family in the Central Domain. He had been to Yin Yang Sect and Kui Lian Sect before. They were large, but people of all surnames lived there, and he didn’t feel out of place.
But in this place before him, everyone’s surname was Fang. There were at least tens of millions of people. It was hard to imagine that a family, after developing for fifty thousand years, had swelled to such a population, yet remained orderly internally and could still stand at the pinnacle of the Lei Feng Realm. This showed the immense effort put in by every generation.
Qi Shan Prefecture was now also the territory of the Wan family, but the Wan family had too few people. Compared to the total population of Qi Shan Prefecture, they likely accounted for less than one percent. Even within the Five Prefectures of the Wan clan, most people did not have the surname Wan.
After flying for a while, the three of them arrived at the mountain gate. According to the rules, distinguished guests were to be welcomed by elders.
Wan Lei was not a distinguished guest, but he was also a prospective son-in-law, so an elder stood at the entrance.
“Came empty-handed?”
Fang Jufeng scrutinized Wan Lei, his lips curled into a long sneer.
This remark made Wan Lei very awkward. It was only then that he remembered that when visiting his fiancée’s family for the first time, he should have brought some gifts.
But a protagonist is a protagonist. Even with a moment of awkwardness, he could quickly resolve it.
“How about you lend me ten million spirit stones, and I’ll go buy some candied hawthorns and cotton candy for the elders as gifts?”
Upon hearing this, Fang Huifeng and Fang Jufeng’s mouths twitched. They knew that Wan Lei wouldn’t say anything good. If he continued to speak in this manner inside the Fang family, he might be beaten to death by the Fang family members.
“Have you no shame?”
“Why would I want shame? It needs washing.”
“You brat are getting more arrogant.”
“What? Want to spar?”
“Fighting you, I probably can’t beat you now. Let’s see who can drink more at the Old Matriarch’s birthday, that’s more like it.”
Fang Jufeng punched Wan Lei in the chest. The battle in the Water Lily Secret Realm had greatly improved his impression of his prospective nephew, and he was truly convinced.
“How are things arranged at home?”
“Don’t worry, you can’t not trust me, your brother, to handle things? Everything is arranged properly, and the guests have been settled in.”
“You’re the one I trust the least to handle things. Fine, let’s go in first. I’ll take them to see their mother later on their Old Matriarch’s birthday.”
“Alright, you go ahead and busy yourself. I’ll wait to see if any more guests arrive.”
After bidding farewell to Fang Jufeng, the three of them continued to fly further inside.
Young Master Lei, like Liu Grandma entering the Grand View Garden, was dazzled by the sights. However, to conceal the fact that he was a country bumpkin, he pretended to be calm, only secretly glancing around with his eyes.
“Don’t be so lecherous, be calm. Coming back here is like coming home.”
Sister Xiaoyu whispered a reminder.
Wan Lei nodded repeatedly and then looked over, startled. Sister Xiaoyu was once again in her icy demeanor.
“I said this is home, why are you still so cold? Smile.”
“Smile about what? I grew up here, and I’ve always been like this. If I smile at others, what if I scare them?”
“I’d forgotten you looked like this. I’d forgotten you were once an ice mountain.”
“Even the hardest ice mountain has been melted by you, hasn’t it?”
Sister Xiaoyu’s lips curved into a playful smile, and she gave Wan Lei a sidelong glance. Her shy and charming appearance made Young Master Lei’s heart flutter. If the time and place were more appropriate, Young Master Lei would have definitely rewarded her with a kiss.
“Ahem.”
Old Fang, flying ahead, saw the two of them daring to flirt in front of him. He immediately coughed, signaling them to restrain themselves.
Because,
This was in the Fang family.
All the way, people kept bowing to them. Wan Lei even saw a few familiar faces – those who had followed him in the Water Lily Secret Realm.
Soon, they arrived at the Fang family’s main hall but did not enter. Instead, they went directly to the rear residences.
In front of a pavilion on a low mountain, Wan Lei saw three young men and women standing at the entrance, looking towards them.
Wan Lei had seen two of the three; he also knew who the other was.
The refined young man in white was Fang Guyu, the eldest son of the Fang family.
Beside him was a young man who lacked refinement but had sharp eyebrows and piercing eyes, radiating righteousness and a stern expression. His entire demeanor was sharp and imposing.
The third, a妩媚 (wǔmèi - charming/seductive) woman in red on the far right, was tall and exceptionally beautiful. Upon seeing Wan Lei, her expression changed rapidly, and she glared fiercely at him.
Fang Guyu, Fang Bailu, Fang Hanlu.
Combined with Fang Xiaoyu beside him, the four siblings of the Fang family were reunited.
These four from the Fang family were all exceptionally good-looking, especially their features. Even with Young Master Lei’s delicate appearance, he felt a bit ashamed.
Of course, in terms of aptitude and appearance, Fang Xiaoyu was the strongest.
Fang Guyu had Yuan Shen cultivation, Fang Bailu had Yuan Ying cultivation, and the weakest was Fang Hanlu, who was only at the Golden Core stage.
Given Fang Xiaoyu’s age, having a Foundation Establishment cultivation would be considered normal within the family.
These three from the Fang family had only upper-grade talent, not even top-grade, and there were significant age gaps between them.
Before Fang Xiaoyu’s rise, Fang Huahui was the Fang family’s foremost prodigy. These three couldn’t compare.
Since Fang Xiaoyu’s emergence, she had crushed all her enemies and now stood among the mighty figures of the Lei Feng Realm. No matter if it was these three older siblings or anyone else, they were all completely inferior to Fang Xiaoyu.
Young Master Lei thought this, and it wasn’t a casual compliment to himself.
