Chapter 396: Return

"Teacher, do you mean that you are leaving?" Xiao Gucheng looked at Lingyun with an expression of disbelief.

"That's right. I have stayed in this place for long enough, and it is time to go home for a visit!" Lingyun nodded with a smile.

"Home? Teacher, is the home you speak of that mysterious ancient kingdom?" Xiao Gucheng asked. "If there is time, I will go to see you!"

"Not at all. My home is in a much further place, a place you cannot go to!" Lingyun shook his head with a smile. "As for you, just stay here and be your Fourth Progenitor properly, and govern this Itogami Island well!"

"Teacher, what do you mean?" Xiao Gucheng said, somewhat surprised.

"You don't need to ask any more about this matter." Lingyun interrupted Xiao Gucheng.

"Teacher, what about Teacher Nangong and classmate Yese?" Aiba Asagi asked.

"Them? Naturally, they have a way to travel between the two places," Lingyun said with a smile. "As for the method, even if I gave it to you, you wouldn't be able to use it!"

"This..." A look of difficulty appeared on Xiao Gucheng's face.

"Alright, it's just a parting, why are you, a grown man, feeling sentimental?" Lingyun patted Xiao Gucheng on the shoulder. "If there is time, I will come back to see you!"

Xiao Gucheng and the others did not stay there for long before leaving. After all, Xiao Gucheng had previously declared that Itogami Island was his territory. The consequence of doing so was that he now had a mountain of Itogami Island affairs to handle; he had only managed to come to Lingyun's place this time by squeezing out some time with great difficulty.

"Yuejiang, Xia Yin, are you ready?" After Xiao Gucheng left, Lingyun said to Nangong Nayue and Yese Xiayin.

"We are ready!" The two, Nangong Nayue and the other, nodded at Lingyun.

"Since you are ready, let's go!" Lingyun waved his hand, and a Space Gate opened, enveloping everyone inside.

"What is this place?" Nangong Nayue, entering the Cloud Realm for the first time, looked at this void world with a look of surprise.

"This place is a newly born world?" After looking around, Liuli looked at Lingyun with surprise. "Lingyun, how could you have something like this, which is extremely rare even among the Heavens?"

"A newly born world?" Nangong Nayue and Yese Xiayin were both confused upon hearing this, but just from the word 'world', they could tell that this was no simple place.

"Papa!" Just at this moment, a small figure suddenly ran out from the void and threw herself directly onto Lingyun.

"Papa? Is this little girl your daughter?" Nangong Nayue looked at Lingyun with a subtle expression.

"Well, in a sense, it is not wrong for Yui to call me her father!" Lingyun nodded and said.

"Lingyun, on her body?" Sensing a Main God Fragment of the same origin, Liuli looked at Lingyun with astonishment.

Lingyun nodded slightly: "Inside Yui's body, there is also a Main God Space Fragment, but this fragment, just like the one in your body, has completely lost the aura of the Main God; otherwise, I would not let such a thing stay inside Yui."

"Big sister, come with me!" On the other side, Yui had already pulled Yese Xiayin and run toward the depths of the Cloud Realm. The two girls seemed to have established an unusual friendship the moment they met.

"Those two?" Nangong Nayue watched their disappearing figures and said to Lingyun.

"Rest assured, this is the Cloud Realm; there is no place safer than here!" Lingyun said to Nangong Nayue with a smile.

"Is this place your home?" Nangong Nayue asked. "It seems a bit desolate!"

"This place is not my home for the time being; after all, it is still under construction." Lingyun pointed to the Space-Time Gate to the side. "As for my home, one must pass through this place to reach it."

"What is this?" Feeling the terrifying space-time fluctuations within the Space-Time Gate, even Nangong Nayue could not help but change color.

"This is the Space-Time Gate leading to my world," Lingyun said to Nangong Nayue. "Before going to my world, I have some things regarding my world to tell you, so as to avoid any accidents later."

"Hmm, that is for the best. Every world has its own rules; if some trouble were to arise because of not knowing the rules, that would not be a good thing!" Nangong Nayue nodded slightly.

At the top of a deserted building, a Space Gate slowly opened. Lingyun walked out of the Space Gate with Nangong Nayue, Yese Xiayin, and Liuli.

"Is this place the world you are in? Hmm, it doesn't seem to be any different from my world!" Nangong Nayue looked at the bustling traffic below and muttered.

"In terms of technology, this world should be quite a bit behind your original world!" Lingyun said indifferently. "But there are also differences, for example, the existence of the Dark World."

"People who are different from the ordinary, hiding themselves among ordinary people, becoming a Dark World in the shadows?" Nangong Nayue said with interest.

Because Youruo became the Heavenly Dao of this world, the Cognitive Obstacle she placed on Yese Xiayin and the others was quite powerful. Even if they appeared in front of people in their true forms, ordinary people would not find their appearance strange.

"How long have I been away from here?" Lingyun asked Ruoxi in the Cloud Realm.

"One week!" Ruoxi appeared beside Lingyun and smiled, linking her arm with his.

"One week, which means the aftermath of killing Naishi hasn't passed yet?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow. "I wonder how things are with Chen Jing; it's time to go back and take a look."

"Chen Jing? A woman? Your friend?" Liuli suddenly spoke up.

"Yes, my friend, one of the few friends I have in this world," Lingyun said.

"Is that so? I would like to see what kind of person can actually become your friend!" Liuli said.

"Hmm, the space of this world seems very solid!" Nangong Nayue opened her hand, and a Space Array unfolded beside her, but both the power and the deployment speed of this Space Array were greatly reduced. Her strength had been reduced by at least thirty percent in this world.

"That's right, the spatial barriers of this world are quite strong," Lingyun said. "Even the mercury of Xiao Gucheng's Dragon-Snake cannot possess the power to devour space at will in this world."

"Is that so? I am becoming more and more curious about this world." A light of interest flickered in Nangong Nayue's eyes.

"Alright, let's go back first." Lingyun looked around; this place was not very far from the Villa where he lived.

Ruoxi nodded at Lingyun, and then returned to the Cloud Realm.

Because it was broad daylight, Lingyun and the others could not casually use power beyond what ordinary people could imagine, so Lingyun directly hailed a taxi driver on the side of the road.

"Brother, who are these beauties?" The taxi driver looked at the three beauties—one big and two small—beside Lingyun, and his eyes widened.

"As for this, Uncle Driver, take a guess!" Lingyun said to the driver with a chuckle.

"Hmm, I think they must all be your relatives!" the taxi driver said.

"Relatives?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow.

"That's right, they must be relatives, they must be relatives!" Uncle Driver gritted his teeth and said, as if it would be a mistake if Liuli and the others were not Lingyun's relatives.

"Perhaps." Lingyun gave a light laugh and said no more.
