Chapter 5174: Thank You Editor: Misty Cloud Translations "Leng Hua, please show Mo Chen around properly," Feng Jiu instructed with a smile. "Yes." Leng Hua responded, approaching him and saying to Mo Chen, "Young Master Mo Chen, allow me to show you around! I know a place where you can take in the surrounding scenery at a glance." "Alright." Mo Chen agreed, nodding briefly to the two before following Leng Hua away. Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu exchanged a glance, then linked arms and walked outside. Reaching the main hall, they saw the Azure Emperor seated inside sipping tea, with three children standing behind him. Seeing the three children, Feng Jiu’s gaze softened, her eyes brimming with affection and delight. After years apart, they had all grown considerably, especially Hao’er, who was now a proper young man. Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu entered, their eyes also landing on the three children, a hint of surprise in their gazes. Had she not mentioned earlier that the children were not appearing in their true forms, he likely would not have recognized them. Back when they were by his side, each had been so small. Now they were grown. Leng Shuang stood guard outside the main hall, while the others had withdrawn, keeping others at a distance. Thus, in the vast hall, only a few remained. "Father! Mother!" The moment the children spotted them, they called out joyfully and scampered toward them. Yue’er threw herself directly into Feng Jiu’s embrace, while Hao’er and Muchen stopped before them, bowing respectfully with clasped hands: "Your children pay their respects to Father and Mother." "Good. You’ve all grown so much." Xuanyuan Mo Ze felt a surge of emotion. Looking at his two sons and the daughter nestled in Feng Jiu’s arms, his heart brimmed with pride and joy. His children had grown so tall, yet he seemed to have missed their entire journey of growth. He hadn’t been a worthy father. "Father, Yue’er missed you and Mother so much." Yue’er slipped out of Feng Jiu’s embrace and threw herself into his arms, clinging to him like a kitten and rubbing against him. "Father missed you too," Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s voice was low, tinged with a slight catch. "These past years, have you been well?" "Father, we’ve been doing just fine. With Mother here, and Master too, we’re all doing well. You needn’t worry about us. Besides, we’re grown now. We can protect ourselves." Yue’er lifted her head from his embrace, looking up at her father, whose emotions were clearly stirred. Even after so many years apart, Father remained the same—still the loving father who cherished them. Now that he too had ascended, their family could finally be together forever. "Alright, sit down and talk!" Feng Jiu smiled, turning to the Azure Emperor. "It’s been a long time. These past years, these three children have been a handful for you." "They are my disciples. Guiding them is only natural," the Azure Emperor replied calmly, withdrawing his gaze from Xuanyuan Mo Ze and sipping his tea. "Thank you, Azure Emperor, for taking them as disciples and keeping them safe all these years," Xuanyuan Mo Ze said, stepping forward with Yue’er by his side. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺 "Hell’s Lord, you flatter me. Since they are my disciples, protecting them is only natural. Besides, they have not disappointed me." The Azure Emperor looked at the three children. Undeniably, all three were exceptional prospects. Becoming their master and guiding them to maturity was, for him, a way to pass the time.
