Long Aotian stood up straight, responding earnestly, "Yes, Master."
"I'm going to Kunlun Mountain first," Xia Feng said and immediately rose to fly out.
In moments, he arrived at the small world of Kunlun Mountain. As soon as Xia Feng entered, Doudou sensed him.
A small figure rushed into Xia Feng's arms and even stuck out its tongue to lick Xia Feng's cheek.
"Come out with me," Xia Feng said, taking Doudou and disappearing within Kunlun Mountain.
After leaving Kunlun Mountain, Xia Feng looked at Doudou in his arms and said, "Someone from the Divine Realm has come looking for you. It should be related to your origins."
Doudou stared with his dark eyes, somewhat confused.
Doudou couldn't transform into human form at the moment, making communication difficult for Xia Feng. He then directly instructed the Eastern Emperor Bell to send them to the Immortal Realm.
After all, an hour here was half a month in the Immortal Realm, enough time to talk everything through.
Upon arriving in the Immortal Realm, Doudou immediately turned into his human form and looked at Xia Feng, calling out, "Brother Xia, you said someone from the Divine Realm came looking for me?"
"Yes, so I suspect it's related to your origins. You've always stayed in Kunlun Mountain. When I entered Kunlun Mountain, you already existed. I believe the small world within Kunlun Mountain originated from the Divine Realm, so your identity must be related to the Divine Realm."
Xia Feng's analysis left Bing Ling'er feeling bewildered.
"Brother Xia, I don't want to know about any origins. I just want to stay with you and go nowhere else." Bing Ling'er shook her head like a rattle drum.
She had no interest in any origins. Her memory only contained Xia Feng, and she would only stay with Xia Feng.
"I'm not asking you to leave. I mean, we can try to understand," Xia Feng said.
"That's more like it. Anyway, I'll say it first: I will only stay by your side." Bing Ling'er, fearing Xia Feng might send her away, reiterated her stance.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't want to leave, no one can snatch you away from me." Xia Feng reassured her, seeing the worry and reluctance in Bing Ling'er's eyes.
"Hehe... I knew Brother Xia was the best." Bing Ling'er then threw herself into Xia Feng's arms, wanting to lick him again.
Xia Feng pushed her away and said, "You're in human form, you need to mind your image. Didn't your sister Lin teach you?"
"She did. But I'm just like this with you, it's nothing." Bing Ling'er was utterly puzzled.
What was wrong with a lick? She really didn't understand.
"Forget it, you'll understand later." Xia Feng was quite speechless looking at Bing Ling'er's matter-of-fact expression.
"Hehe... we'll talk about it later." Bing Ling'er then deliberately leaned in for a lick.
"Alright, I'll take you back. You can stay in the Eastern Emperor Bell for now." Xia Feng then summoned the Eastern Emperor Bell to send them back.
This round trip took only a few minutes on Earth, as if they had never left.
Returning to Earth again, Xia Feng went directly to the Cultivator's Guild.
Concealing his aura, he arrived at the Dongfang family. He could sense the familiar aura of Dongfang Lingyu.
Dongfang Lingyu was startled by Xia Feng's sudden arrival and exclaimed joyfully, "Brother Xia, you're here!"
"Where is your grandfather?" Xia Feng nodded and asked.
"He's gone out again, to meet those two people from the Divine Realm," Dongfang Lingyu pointed outside.
"Alright, I'll go see," Xia Feng nodded and turned to walk outside. Dongfang Lingyu quickly followed.
Dongfang Wenkang and the people from the Dragon Group looked at Xia Feng's arrival, their expressions brightening. They maintained their composure and pretended not to see him.
At this moment, Pu Buqi and Lao Tian'gou were enjoying their meal immensely, paying no mind to others' expressions.
Xia Feng looked at the two who were eating like starved ghosts and felt somewhat speechless.
Both of them were at the late stage of Mahayana, with their strength suppressed to the same level as his. Xia Feng found this not strange at all.
Likewise, Xia Feng was not flustered. He could still easily kill these two.
For opponents of similar or not exceeding his level, Xia Feng could handle two as if it were child's play.
"This food is damn amazing," Pu Buqi threw down his bowl, letting out a satisfied belch.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten so well. I don't even want to go back to the Divine Realm," Lao Tian'gou also exclaimed. This was what could be called cuisine; the food in the Divine Realm was merely to stave off hunger.
"How about we eat and drink for a while before going to Kunlun Mountain?" Pu Buqi's eyes lit up as he suggested to Lao Tian'gou.
"Dream on. If we delay the master's business, we won't have food later," Lao Tian'gou cursed, like a bucket of cold water dousing Pu Buqi's enthusiasm, immediately extinguishing his interest.
"Then let's go now. Finish the mission quickly, find the Qilin, and bring the small world back to the Divine Realm," Pu Buqi said after hearing that.
"Okay, let's go," Lao Tian'gou said and got up.
"Your exquisite meals today have satisfied us immensely, so you will all be unharmed," Pu Buqi said, then ascended into the air with Lao Tian'gou and flew towards Kunlun Mountain.
"Brother Xia, they've left," Dongfang Lingyu pointed at the two figures flying away.
"Mm," Xia Feng nodded, then added, "Cultivate diligently. If you and your cousin or family wish to go to the Immortal Realm, I can take you. Discuss it and call Lin'er."
After saying this, Xia Feng ascended into the air and pursued the two.
Dongfang Lingyu's eyes widened at this, followed by a wave of joy.
"Grandpa, did you hear that? Brother Xia said he'll take us to the Immortal Realm." Dongfang Lingyu hopped with excitement.
"I heard, I heard," Dongfang Wenkang nodded excitedly.
"I need to tell my cousin this super good news right away. Grandpa, I'm going down the mountain first." Dongfang Lingyu then ran down the mountain.
Dongfang Lingyu had already delivered messages for Xia Feng twice. Furthermore, they were cultivators themselves, so giving them an opportunity to go to the Immortal Realm was fitting.
Xia Feng had brought people from the four hidden families, so there was no reason not to bring them along.
After all, the people he brought with him were trustworthy.
Xia Feng followed the two to Kunlun Mountain, concealed his aura, and hid behind them. He wanted to see how they would enter Kunlun Mountain.
Kunlun Mountain was already in his mind, something that belonged entirely to him, yet he couldn't take it away.
"This is it, right?" Pu Buqi pointed at Kunlun Mountain.
Lao Tian'gou nodded, took out a crystal ball from his embrace, and tossed it into the air.
The crystal ball suddenly emitted a purple light, and then a beam of light shone directly onto Kunlun Mountain. At this moment, the barrier of Kunlun Mountain automatically opened, revealing the world within.
"Haha... this is it." Pu Buqi laughed heartily as he looked at the opened small world.
"Should we directly annex the small world, or go in to see if the Qilin is inside?" Lao Tian'gou was uncertain and asked Pu Buqi.
"Let's annex it directly. I can't afford to offend her, and besides, she can't leave Kunlun Mountain herself."
Pu Buqi glanced into the small world and said with certainty.
Xia Feng frowned upon hearing this. As expected, they could indeed annex the small world of Kunlun Mountain.
