Chapter 547: Chapter 497: Xi’er, I’m Back, Update 17

"Sect Leader, where is Xi’er?"

Between the gentle words, there was a trembling of the heart and an excitement rooted in the soul.

Xi’er, was none other than Ruoxi.

In his past life, there were not many he cared for, but Ruoxi was definitely among them, his little sister who depended on each other for survival.

The girl who had been with him since their childhood, Yaya had said she stayed by her own little grave every day, building a hut to live in, often by the grave, which made him feel an urgent impulse to see her.

The Heavenly Gate Master pointed to one of the many peaks below Dufeng, and said softly, "She’s there, on Moonset Peak."

Moonset Peak, Ye Chen sighed softly, Moonset, Moonset, the fall of Qian Yue, that must be the mountain where his little grave was.

"Sect Leader, I will visit the main hall later, to meet an old friend," he said, and then jumped down from the Divine Ship.

He jumped down from the unscalable Heavenly Dome, descending rapidly, and when he was about to plunge to the ground, he stepped solidly on the void, landing gently, and looked distantly at a hill that was neither high nor low.

Vaguely, he seemed to see a cottage built halfway up the hill, and a fairy-like girl appearing and disappearing, which made his heart tremble.

Then he calmed the trembling of his heart, and smiled slowly, clenching his hands tightly, and took a deep breath, finally about to meet her.

Although Heavenly Gate had risen rapidly in these decades, despite the short time, with a Great Power like the Heavenly Gate Master existing, countless powerful beings had come to join, including Saints and even some terrifying figures who had lived for thousands of years, as well as Saint Lord Level Characters. Coming to join, of course, after careful selection, they became famous figures and elders in Heavenly Gate.

This led to a situation where Heavenly Gate Capital Peak was crowded with powerful individuals, with experts as common as trees in a forest, truly full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. In just a moment, Ye Chen sensed no fewer than five powerful Saintly auras rippling around.

In each mountain peak, there were powerful guards stationed, with defense as tight as could be.

Ye Chen followed a road upwards, and as he reached the middle of the mountain, two guards immediately blocked his path, their long spears crossed, a strong aura flowing from their bodies, shouting, "This is a restricted area, not just any outsider may enter."

Ye Chen smiled gently, bowed with his fists to the two men, and said, "Brothers, please make an exception, I need to find Ruoxi."

"Ruoxi!?"

Hearing this, the two guards’ expressions suddenly turned colder, their intent to kill emerging, and one of them stepped forward with a long spear aimed at Ye Chen, shouting, "Who are you, to address Fairy Xi like that, explain yourself clearly!"

Fairy Xi?

Ye Chen was stunned, then chuckled and bowed again, saying, "I am an old friend of Fairy Xi, and I need to see her for something. Surely you don’t think that I would harbor any foolish hopes towards Fairy Xi while within Heavenly Gate?"

On hearing this, the two guards could not help but nod. This was the core area of Heavenly Gate Capital Peak, guarded by the Supreme Ability of the Heavenly Gate Master. Who would dare make a move?

However, both guards shook their heads and said, "Sorry, the Supreme Elder has instructed that unless it is an emergency, Fairy Xi’s place of residence must not be disturbed, or there will be severe punishment. You should go back."

It seems the Heavenly Gate Master knew that Ruoxi always liked peace and did not want her to be disturbed.

But today, no matter what, Ye Chen had to see Ruoxi, so he apologized, "Sorry, brothers."

The two guards immediately realized that this kid was trying to force his way through. Strong auras emerged from them instantly, both Divinity Transformation Experts standing in the Third Layer Heaven, very powerful.

But Ye Chen took just one step, ripples spread under his feet, expanding lightning-fast, and then collided with the two guards—

The two were violently thrown away, without any power to fight back, falling ten yards away.

This was Ye Chen exercising perfect control over his power; otherwise, this one strike would have been enough to crush both Divinity Transformation Experts.

Do not underestimate Ye Chen, now he possesses such Supreme power.

"Sorry, both of you."

Ye Chen offered an apologetic smile, then soared into the sky, entering the Spirit Mountain where Fairy Xi resided.

The two guards immediately panicked, realizing a terrifying figure had arrived, and took out their Communication Collars to send a high-level transmission: "Report, report, a mysterious powerful being has intruded into Moonset Peak, possibly threatening Fairy Xi, request for reinforcements!"

Heavenly Gate had a Law Enforcement Hall set up, consisting of strong elders and elite disciples within Heavenly Gate, even featuring Saint Lord Level supremely powerful characters. At this moment, they immediately took action, with a powerful law enforcement team taking to the sky, heading for Moonset Peak.

The leader was a formidable Saint Lord Level Expert.

Of all this, Ye Chen was naturally unaware. He arrived directly on Moonset Peak, and from afar, he saw a small thatched cottage built, not very big, but elegant and simple, fresh and refined, giving people a refreshing feeling.

Upon reaching the thatched house, inside there were a bed, a table, stools, a kitchen, and more, although compact, it had everything one could need.

Next to it, an unremarkable grave quietly rose, with an ordinary tombstone stuck on the grave, bearing a few delicate characters—The Tomb of Qian Yue!

Gazing at the small grave, Ye Chen fell silent; this was where his past self, the Combat Saint King Qian Yue, was buried.

Ordinary, lacking the majestic air that people imagine.

Because people around him all knew that although he was exceptionally powerful in his past life, he always preferred a simple and plain life, believing that simplicity was truth!

The tomb was built against the mountain, with a clear spring and stream flowing by, the grass green and lush. From time to time, five-colored spiritual deer and fog-rising immortal cranes would descend here, as the spiritual beasts reared by the Heavenly Gate frolicked.

The mountains were covered with flowers of all colors, bright and vibrant, making it a beautiful place with enchanting scenery.

Suddenly, Ye Chen saw a few lines of characters on the tombstone. Upon reading them clearly, his eyes immediately moistened, and he almost burst into tears —

Husband of Zhao Jingruo!

Husband of Chen’er!

Husband of Yii Wu!

Father of Yaya!

Brother of Ruoxi!

There was also a line of crooked characters that read ’Master of Yiyi,’ with an adorable paw print stamped above it.

In a daze, it was as though he saw the adorable and tender little white beast from his past life yipping and yapping.

He sat silently on his own small grave, his palm gently caressing the tombstone. His eyes swirled with the complexities of time.

Suddenly, a gentle sound of footsteps approached. Ye Chen lifted his gaze and immediately saw a figure that made his heart tremble, and he became so stiff he might as well have been petrified.

A girl appeared before him with beauty that could cause the downfall of cities.

The girl seemed to be in the prime of her youth, like a poem encapsulated within a person, with a face as lovely as jade and a bright smile displaying her pearly teeth, indeed possessing the kind of beauty that could overturn nations.

With a graceful figure, three thousand strands of dark hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and she stood as dignified as a statue.

She wore a thin mint green dress that outlined her already blooming and enchanting figure, exuding an aura that was refreshing and ethereal, as if she were a banished immortal.

Fairy Xi, true to her name.

Fairy Xi also stared at the young man, unsure why, but she always felt a profound sense of familiarity, as if...

Before she could confirm it, the tranquility usually present on her unparalleled face was replaced by anger.

Because the stranger before her looked at her so impudently, and what enraged her the most was that he dared to sit on her brother’s tomb, touching the tombstone with such disrespect for decorum.

Her anger flared immediately, and with a gentle exclamation and a flick of her sleeve, a soft force struck Ye Chen, sweeping him away.

Had he not been sitting on the small grave, this girl with a kind heart might have wanted to kill him.

Because to her, her brother was the only taboo, and no one should dare to touch him recklessly.

Fairy Xi flew forward, worrying if the stranger had disturbed everything on the small grave. Her eyes welled with tears as she spoke, "Brother, I’m sorry. Xi’er had only left for a little while, and I never thought someone would have the audacity to trespass on your grave. It’s Xi’er’s fault."

Ye Chen watched the beautiful girl’s actions in a daze, but suddenly laughed heartily, his laughter was so carefree and joyous, revealing great happiness.

But Fairy Xi was furious, her delicate fists clenched tightly. Not only had this stranger defiled her brother’s grave, but he also laughed so insolently. Her voice, lovelier than the chimes, turned cold as she said, "Even though I don’t know who you are, you dared to defile my brother’s grave. I will not forgive you."

The very earth seemed to tremble, unbeknownst to all, beneath that beautiful and tender exterior lay a Heavenly Pride Girl, powerful in cultivation, strong enough to be a Saint Lord.

Yet facing all this, Ye Chen was still smiling, only now his smile shone like the brilliant sunlight, as soft as a spring breeze, filled with an unusual tenderness and a hint of doting, he said softly, "Xi’er, is this how you treat me?"

"You—"

Fairy Xi was momentarily stunned, her demeanor becoming much more peaceful. The smile on this stranger’s face was so familiar, so tender, so full of affection—it was just like—

Her brother!

Ye Chen stepped forward, and between his eyebrows, the crescent Moon Seal began to surface, releasing his original aura, the most familiar undulations from the depths of his soul, undulations that could never be forgotten in this life or the next.

"I..."

Fairy Xi’s rosy and enticing lips parted slightly, as if she intended to say something. Yet, when thousands of words surged to her lips, she found herself unable to utter a single one.

Only two lines of crystal tears traced her delicate and fair cheeks, falling to the floor with a patter, breaking into fragments that reflected the dazzling brilliance of the sun above.

"Xi’er, I’ve returned!"

The young man’s words echoed throughout the expanse of Moonset Peak.
