Chapter 339: Family
Bai Rouyun could not help but furrow her brows. Although she knew that Sun Junmeng was likely to have approached her for some special reason, she had initially assumed that it was some unknown figure that was behind his actions, but after knowing Li Moyun's current status, it could be to gain information about him.
"I do not think that the Celestial Immortal behind Sun Junmeng needs to do anything special to gather information about me and my current situation. Although I have become a deity, I am just a drop in the sea in the Godly Domain. There is no reason for the Celestial Immortal to pay extra attention to me."
Knowing that Li Moyun was still not important in the eyes of the Celestial Immortal, Bai Rouyun could not help but wrinkle her brows in annoyance.
"Well, Sun Junmeng did not seem to hold any hostility towards me. In face, he seemed to be looking for any possible excuse to help me gain a foothold here in the Wushi Continent.
"Although we do not know the origin of this sudden care, we should not worry too much either. For now, our main purpose is to move forward, step by step."
Seeing that Li Moyun did not know their purpose, Bai Rouyun knew that she could not figure it out either.
"Even though we do not know their purpose, and they do seem to be friendly, we cannot become dependant on them either. We can be grateful for their help, but we need to rely on ourselves." Li Moyun knew that Bai Rouyun was not the kind of person to take a shortcut, but he still wanted to warn her, so that they would not become complacent in the future.
"I know." Bai Rouyun smiled and shook her head in amusement. "You have already become such an old man, but you still nag more than a mother would."
Although she made fun of him, a warm current rushed through her heart, and the lips curled upwards in a small and gentle smile that could not be suppressed.
Time had passed by, and it was long since their last meeting, but none of them felt awkward. Bai Rouyun was full of energy and happiness as she looked at her husband's pampering eyes and tender expression.
Li Moyun was usually a cold and ruthless figure, but whenever he was close to those he held dear, he would soften up the chilled expressions and become a loving husband and father.
It was also because of this great change in appearance and demeanor that the children were all excited when they could meet him, either for the first time, or again after a long break.
Jiaojiao had heard many things about her so-called dad. She had, initially, not been eager for him to arrive, as she had bad experiences with family before, and she feared that her newfound and wonderful mother would abandon her for the sake of her unknown dad.
However, Li Moyun was not hogging all of Bai Rouyun's attention. He had spent decades in the hidden realm, and had gained a strong patience. He knew that these adopted children were important to his wife, and thus he also accepted them happily.
Li Moyun was not a person that liked children, but he loved his wife. As long as she liked these adopted creatures, he would treat them as his own descendants in the future, and thus the love for his wife also spread to these little things.
Jiaojiao, who was at first defensive against this new person in her family, was soon sitting on his arm and looking around the world from a higher point than before.
She was adorable with her beautiful little blue dress and hairbands, and her tail was wagging happily as the light in the realm shone on her scales.
She was definitely a little cutie, and Li Moyun felt that she was very suitable to be the daughter of himself and Bai Rouyun. Bai Rouyun was, after all, the most beloved, cute, and beautiful wife he had ever seen.
"Father. It is good that you are back." While Li Moyun was holding the adorable little Jiaojiao on his arm, Xiao Bao came to his side.
Although Xiao Bao had accepted his identity as the adopted son of his master and her husband, he still felt that Bai Rouyun was somewhat confused and lacked common knowledge.
When he was thinking back at the time in her previous incarnation, when she had created him, she was still somewhat unruly and did things according to her own wishes, but it seemed that the more times she had been reincarnated, her intelligence had dropped little by little.
Although Bai Rouyun was still somewhat smart on certain aspects, she also seemed to have some places where her knowledge was severely lacking.
As the self-proclaimed oldest brother, Xiao Bao had often tried to keep the family together, but now the head of the household had returned. He could not help but hope that Li Moyun had some kind of ability to keep Bai Rouyun in check.
The current situation was overwhelmingly cheerful, and everyone had gathered together. Even Xiao Hua and Xiao Mao were happy to see Li Moyun, and the atmosphere was full of celebration as they all spend the rest of the day within the Primal Chaos Dimension to get familiar once again.
Looking at the group of beasts, spirits, and humans that were sitting together on the lush green grass, Bai Rouyun could not help but smile happily.
She had always been searching for a certain kind of belonging. Although she had never experienced the warmth of a family, she had longed for it for many years.
Now, after reuniting with Li Moyun, she genuinely felt that her family was what she had missed. If just Yun Mingshen had been here, then everything would have been perfect.
