Chapter 851: All Are Delighted, Shangguan Yan Enters Dalaotian (2/5, Requesting Subscription)
As Gu Muting and Shangguan Yan marveled, Zhang Taixuan had already acted.
The void rippled, and the next moment, Sima Changfeng, Huangfu Renhe, Ouyang Yingying, and others appeared before them.
"What is this?"
Li Shimin hurriedly began to introduce them.
"Huangfu Renhe greets the Dao Jun!"
"Ouyang Yingying greets the Dao Jun!"
"No need for formalities," Zhang Taixuan said, not engaging in excessive courtesy; the Timeless River appeared, and he reached into it.
The next moment, Huangfu Zhong and others were dragged out from the Timeless River.
"Where is this?"
"Wasn't I just fighting Ouyang Feiying?"
The returned men looked bewildered, utterly unaware of what had happened.
"Father!"
"Father!"
Huangfu Renhe and Sima Changfeng rushed over, eyes slightly red, calling out.
"You are my sons?"
"Impossible—how old was my son?"
Huangfu Zhong refused to believe it, staring at Huangfu Renhe with suspicion.
Sima Yi felt the same!
After some explanation, the rescued men finally believed they had arrived over a decade into the future.
"Ouyang Feiying!"
All turned toward Ouyang Feiying with hostile gazes.
Ouyang Feiying had long been stunned.
He never expected those long-dead men to be alive again.
Now surrounded by them all, he felt overwhelming pressure.
He excelled at schemes, deceit, and picking off enemies one by one.
But facing so many old rivals at once, he had no confidence—his heart trembled, and he could only hide behind Ouyang Mingri.
"Father, let it go. You and Mother are alive now—let the past rest," Huangfu Renhe urged. "Now the realm is ruled by Your Majesty Taizong; Ouyang Feiying can't stir up trouble anymore."
"Your Majesty Taizong?" Huangfu Zhong blinked. "What's going on?"
Huangfu Renhe recounted the entire story.
Hearing it, Huangfu Zhong looked at his son and nodded in approval.
"Good! You didn't become as shortsighted as Ouyang Feiying—you entrusted Sifang City to the right person. My son is far superior to Ouyang Feiying."
Ouyang Feiying wanted to retort but lacked the nerve; he merely twitched his lips, pretending not to hear.
Huangfu Zhong turned to Li Shimin and bowed. "Your Majesty Taizong, I entrust Sifang City to you—please treat the people well."
"No need to say more," Li Shimin said with great pride. "You may walk freely through the city and see how it has changed."
With that, he apologized to Zhang Taixuan, leapt into the clouds, and headed toward Chang'an.
Huangfu Zhong and the others then thanked Zhang Taixuan profusely before departing.
"Stinky tofu, wait for me!" Ouyang Yingying chased after Huangfu Renhe.
Huangfu Renhe: "Why are you following me? I still need to accompany my parents!"
"I can too—I grew up in Sifang City, I know it well. I can guide you," Ouyang Yingying smiled brightly. "Uncle, Auntie, let me lead you. For what my father did, I apologize—punish me however you wish."
"This little girl!" Huangfu Zhong shook his head. "I, Huangfu Zhong, am not so low as to harm an innocent person."
Huangfu's Lady nodded: "Yes, Miss Yingying. We're alive now—let the past die. You were innocent too; don't burden yourself too much."
The group walked through Sifang City, touring it thoroughly.
"Your Majesty Taizong is truly a sage ruler—Sifang City is governed better than I ever imagined."
"Indeed. It seems our brothers' old dream has come true—Your Majesty Taizong has done even better than we did. Huangfu, you have a fine son—and made a wise decision."
Three days passed swiftly.
After spending three days with his parents, Shangguan Yan hurriedly left home and activated a token.
The next moment, the world shifted, and she found herself in a vast, boundless realm brimming with immortal qi.
Gazing at the towering trees piercing the clouds and divine birds soaring through the sky, Shangguan Yan felt profound awe.
Just as she worried about finding her way, an immortal maiden descended on a cloud beside her.
"Miss Shangguan, please follow me!"
"Has the Dao Jun not come?" Shangguan Yan asked in surprise.
The immortal maiden smiled. "The Dao Jun only asked me to receive you—I know nothing else. But if you're eager, I can relay your request."
"Uh… better wait until the Dao Jun is done," Shangguan Yan blushed.
............. Requesting flowers.........
Settled in a quiet villa, Shangguan Yan felt as if she had fallen into a dream.
The legendary peach of immortality, the legendary Jin Dan, the legendary immortal artifacts—
All of it signaled her extraordinary status.
Living in the secluded manor, Shangguan Yan felt as if she had fallen into a dream.
The legendary Peaches of Immortality, the legendary Jin Dan, the legendary immortal artifacts—
Every single thing signaled that her treatment was extraordinary.
She had originally thought that once she arrived in this realm, she would be at the mercy of others, reduced to a plaything.
She hadn't expected that her degree of freedom would be so high, and that she would even be bestowed many supreme divine objects.
"The Dao Sovereign is truly magnanimous. The number of people wanting to serve him in the Great Luo Heaven must be countless." Shangguan Yan sighed inwardly, "I've really struck it lucky."
Chat Group.
Ouyang Mingri: "Thanks to the Dao Sovereign for stepping in; the grudge on my side has finally been resolved."
Su Xiaoxiao: "Brother Taixuan really is efficient. By the way, wasn't your sister taken away by Brother Taixuan?"
Ouyang Mingri: "She wasn't."
Su Xiaoxiao: "That's strange. Brother Taixuan got picky."
Zhang Taixuan: "I'm back, Su Xiaoxiao, you're being naughty again, aren't you?"
Xiaomai: "I'm really curious why Brother Taixuan didn't take Ouyang Yingying with him!"
Zhang Taixuan: "You guys make it sound like I'm some kind of trafficker, free to take whoever I want!"
Ouyang Mingri: "Probably because my sister's personality and looks don't appeal to the Dao Sovereign."
Su Xiaoxiao: "Seems about right. Ouyang Yingying is too willful, and her looks aren't absolute beauty either."
Xiaomai: "So that's how it is."
Su Xiaoxiao: "Do you have a photo of Shangguan Yan? I want to see the Goddess Dragon!"
Zhang Taixuan: "Shangguan Yan is cultivating right now! But I can still show you a photo. 【Photo】"
Su Xiaoxiao: "No wonder Brother Taixuan was so eager—she really is a great beauty."
Xiaomai: "Indeed beautiful."
Izumi Sagiri: "Brother Taixuan, can I ask Sister Shangguan to model for me?"
Zhang Taixuan: "As long as you don't mind her stabbing you with a sword in her embarrassment."
Izumi Sagiri: "... Alright, forget it then!"
Hinatsuru Ai: "Sagiri, don't be scared!"
Izumi Sagiri: "Hmph, I'm the one who'd get stabbed, of course I'm scared. Why don't you try it?"
Hinatsuru Ai: "No way! Once Shangguan Yan reaches the Great Luo Heaven, her strength will definitely grow fast—I can't beat her."
