The next day, early morning.
"Mmm~"
Golden morning sun spilled onto Luo Tianyi's exceptionally beautiful face. She stirred, then opened her eyes, only to see the person she loved looking at her with doting affection. Big Wind Novel Network
Recalling the scene of being chosen last night, her face flushed slightly, appearing even more captivating under the golden dawn.
"You're awake."
Looking at the beautiful woman in his arms, Ye Xuan's lips curved into a fond arc, making Luo Tianyi's eyes fill with sweetness.
"Mhm~~"
Luo Tianyi felt a power in Ye Xuan that was leagues beyond what she had experienced as a God of War. Her lips were full of happiness and peace. She didn't offer any words of thanks, as everything was understood without them.
To put it into words would only make things feel distant, as there was no need for such formality between them.
"Daddy~"
"Daddy, Daddy~~"
As soon as they stepped out of the room, the three little ones chirped and swarmed around them. The three children were now around two years old, and Pingping and An'an were a few months old. Time had truly flown by.
"My three little treasures, did you sleep well yesterday~"
He affectionately tickled the little noses of the three children, eliciting knowing smiles from the maids.
"Mhm, super well~"
The three little ones chirped back. At this time, Aunt Shen had already prepared breakfast.
"Young Master, Madam, you may dine."
At Aunt Shen's announcement, a sumptuous breakfast was laid out before them.
Soon after, breakfast concluded.
Ye Xuan drove himself and Luo Tianyi to his parents' place in the Azure Manor in Yangcheng. He was now a fifth-tier Great Emperor, while his parents were still ordinary people, which felt rather improper.
Therefore, this visit was primarily to extend his parents' lifespan, and secondly, to come clean with them. After all, they would eventually learn about his affairs.
He then dialed his mother's number.
"Hello, Mom."
"You brat, you still remember you have a mother? You haven't called me in so long."
As soon as the call connected, his mother Chen Xiaowan's scolding voice came through. "Have you been treating my three granddaughters and two grandsons well during this time?"
"How could I not."
Ye Xuan glanced at the three little ones who were looking at him with wide, blinking eyes. "Mom, to be serious, I'm on my way home now. I estimate I'll arrive in about an hour."
"What, you're back from your business trip."
"Okay, I'll call your dad right away and tell him to come home!"
Before Ye Xuan could say anything more, Chen Xiaowan on the other end hung up with a series of beeps. Clearly, she was delighted about her grandchildren's impending arrival.
Ye Xuan, "......"
"Mom is still the same impatient person."
Ye Xuan shook his head and then stepped on the accelerator, heading towards the Azure Manor in Yangcheng. No one knew that inside this supercar was a fifth-tier Great Emperor, and the Star Lord of Blue Star.
An hour passed quietly, and the Azure Manor came into view.
He then drove into the residential complex.
*Click~*
The door opened, and Aunt Shen and two maids carried Pingping and An'an. The three older children watched the door with anticipation.
"Grandma~"
"Grandma, Grandma~~"
The three children's sweet, childish voices rang out, melting Chen Xiaowan's heart.
"Aiyoh~~"
"Here come Grandma's three little cotton-padded jackets! Come in quickly!"
Chen Xiaowan enthusiastically welcomed her three granddaughters into the house, then turned to her son. "You, you really are something. You didn't call ahead, making it so sudden."
Despite her words, Chen Xiaowan's face showed no hint of blame. She pulled her daughter-in-law inside and then busied herself looking after Pingping and An'an, her two grandsons, keeping her incredibly occupied.
Ye Pengfei, standing nearby, was a little better off but clearly not much.
What a joke!
If their grandchildren were coming to visit, let alone taking a day off, they would gladly quit their jobs.
Ever since they learned their son had made a fortune, they had been considering early retirement. Quitting their jobs now would be a decent outcome. Of course, they still wanted to work for a couple more years and contribute their remaining energy to society.
After a journey that had been tiring for all, Luo Tianyi took Pingping and An'an to sleep. Aunt Shen and the maids played with the three older children in the living room.
"Mom, Dad, I have something to tell you."
"Oh?"
Seeing their son's demeanor, Ye Pengfei and Chen Xiaowan frowned slightly, as they rarely saw him like this.
"Okay."
The elderly couple exchanged glances and nodded in agreement. The family of three then entered the study.
"So mysterious, what is it?"
Chen Xiaowan chuckled, clearly in a good mood. After all, she was going to see her three granddaughters and two grandsons again; it would be strange not to be happy.
"Yes, hurry up. I still want to play with my three precious granddaughters," Ye Pengfei added, urging him on. Compared to listening to his son, he'd rather spend time with his three precious granddaughters. What was there to talk about with this brat?
Ye Xuan, "Cough, cough......"
"Mom, Dad, what I'm about to say might sound unbelievable, but it's all true."
He first gave them a heads-up, then continued, "Actually... I am the owner of Blue Star."
He had said the same thing to Luo Tianyi before, but this time the audience was Ye Xuan's parents.
Ye Pengfei and his wife, "Uh......"
"You brat, are you running a fever?"
Chen Xiaowan reached out to feel her son's forehead, her meaning clear. She obviously didn't believe him.
The owner of Blue Star?
Was he joking? Had their son suffered some kind of blow and was having mental issues??
Ye Pengfei and his wife thought this, while Ye Xuan felt a slight bitterness, having anticipated this reaction. It was, after all, too difficult to accept.
"How about this."
Ye Xuan then, under the gaze of the elderly couple, produced two mid-grade Emperor Crystals. He then, at a terrifying speed, absorbed them, converting them into pure energy. He placed his hands on Ye Pengfei and Chen Xiaowan's shoulders, and a surge of power flowed into their bodies.
Third-rate expert!
Second-rate expert!
......
Peak God of War!
With terrifying speed, Ye Pengfei and Chen Xiaowan's auras finally settled at the half-step Heavenly King realm. Only then did Ye Xuan finish dissipating the energy from the mid-grade Emperor Crystals.
Ye Pengfei and Chen Xiaowan felt the power within them. "This... how is this possible??"
"Dad, this is a very hard glass ball. Try it."
Ye Xuan handed his father, Ye Pengfei, a glass ball from the desk. Hearing his son's words, Ye Pengfei was stunned for a moment, then picked up the glass ball and held it in his hand.
With a slight squeeze, Ye Pengfei was shocked. The glass ball, which he was so familiar with, had... turned into glass shards. No, to be precise, it had turned into glass powder.
"This... how is this possible!?"
Chen Xiaowan looked at Ye Pengfei's reaction, her pupils suddenly contracting, her face filled with horror and disbelief. Was she dreaming?
