"Didn't they say this young man only had Nascent Soul stage cultivation?
This is bullshit!" Han Peiling felt like cursing.
Although Han Shaofa didn't share Han Peiling's feelings, seeing Han Peiling's face change drastically, he also sensed something was wrong.
"I... I wouldn't dare..." Han Peiling broke out in a cold sweat, uttering those two words with extreme difficulty.
Han Shaofa's expression completely changed.
Then, Chen Jiuyang withdrew his oppressive aura, picked up his teacup, and took a sip. "Thus, you should know, there's always someone better, and there's always a higher heaven."
For the demonic path to annihilate the five great sacred lands, it was still a long way off.
Currently, within the nine sects of the demonic path, no one had stepped forward to declare their intention to unify the sacred path and gradually revive the Chongming Sea.
If it were just trash like Han Peiling, the demonic path would not amount to much.
If the demonic path couldn't contend with the five great sacred lands, then the current peaceful days would continue for a long time.
"Yes," Han Peiling said through gritted teeth.
"Regarding Yihan's matter, she will not return to the Qiu family from today onwards, to avoid being implicated by the Han clan. Do you understand?" Chen Jiuyang asked, but his tone was a command.
"Go on, and don't come to me unless it's necessary."
"Yes." Han Peiling's expression shifted, and he finally cupped his fists in a salute before leaving with Han Shaofa.
Han Shaofa, not knowing what had happened, asked, "Peiling, just now, what exactly happened?"
Han Peiling looked at the words 'Ping An Bookstore' with trepidation and said in a deep voice, "That Chen Jiuyang is not at the Nascent Soul stage. He is very likely an old monster who has reincarnated. With just his oppressive aura, he subdued me and rendered me immobile."
"If he wanted to kill us, it would probably only take a flick of his finger."
Han Shaofa's face also showed fear. "He's that terrifying..."
"It's a pity our Han clan has no one..."
"Then don't concern yourself with Yihan's affairs anymore. She's just a clan member with talent, but not a special physique."
After Han Peiling left.
Qiu Yihan blinked her big eyes. "Jiuyang, why don't you want me to go home!"
Chen Jiuyang explained, "The Qiu family is doing something very dangerous. I'm worried you'll be captured by bad people."
"But my grandpa and dad are still at home!" Qiu Yihan said.
Chen Jiuyang smiled. "If there's danger in the future, I will step in to save them and preserve their lives."
He looked at Qiu Yihan and smiled. "It's been so many years, shouldn't you be my little wife now?"
"Hmph, hmph, hmph!" Qiu Yihan grunted. "Only if you only want me will I be willing to marry you!"
Chen Jiuyang said, "You shouldn't live at the Qiu family anymore either. How about you stay here at my bookstore?"
"The bookstore..." Qiu Yihan pondered. "As long as I don't have to live at your house, I think it's fine."
Chen Jiuyang smiled. "Then you go upstairs and pick a room to stay in."
"Okay!" Qiu Yihan nodded her little head and then trotted upstairs.
Chen Jiuyang was clearly in a good mood. This way, Lin Yuexian and Qiu Yihan would be living in the bookstore.
Then, sooner or later, he could trick them both into living at home.
Chen Jiuyang's days were peaceful, but the days of his several confidantes were not.
After Qiu Yihan moved into Ping An Bookstore, Lin Yuexian was unwilling to guard the bookstore anymore. She threw a tantrum and didn't come even when staying in Qingzhu Village. She ate and lived with Chen Jiuyang's parents and cultivated on her own.
Yao Zixuan was busy, Ji Lengyue was busy, and Qin Rourou was also busy.
Chen Jiuyang, meanwhile, was cultivating diligently.
The eighty-one laws in his primordial spirit sea began to stir, having expanded to their limit, seemingly on the verge of collision.
This was the late stage of the Void Returning stage...
Formally advancing to the Dao Integration stage meant the fusion of laws with laws, the fusion of laws with the primordial spirit, and then a gradual transformation into the fundamental Great Dao.
Nearly a year later, as the Spring Festival approached, Hu Qijie's child was born.
Chen Jiuyang took a look and immediately understood, "This is destiny."
"In that case, my children with Zixuan and the others, and Nianxuan and the others..."
After Chen Jiuyang converted to the immortal path, he stopped focusing all his energy on combat power and began to contemplate issues of karma, heaven and earth, and so on.
Chen Jiuyang gave a generous gift and then returned home.
Chen Jianmin and Zhang Xiuzhen were also urging Chen Jiuyang to get married.
"Son, you're already twenty-seven or twenty-eight. When are you getting married? Your father and I are looking forward to holding our grandson," Zhang Xiuzhen nagged.
Chen Jiuyang rubbed his nose and smiled wryly. "Mom, I want to too."
Chen Jianmin pointed at him. "Son, you're just too greedy. You want to marry several at once, which isn't very realistic."
Chen Jiuyang replied, "Mom and Dad, if I marry one and she gets pregnant and has a child, then the others will be even less likely to enter our family."
"You should look at the bright side. If several of your daughters-in-law enter the family together, then in the future, you'll have a house full of children and grandchildren, and you won't be able to hold them all."
This was true. In his previous life, these confidantes of his had all given birth to children, and he couldn't possibly take care of them all, leading Chen Biandao, Granny Han, and Lin Buwen to come and help.
Chen Jiuyang painted a rosy picture for his parents, successfully fooling them into fantasizing.
Zhang Xiuzhen gritted her teeth. "Then we'll give you a few more years. If you still can't bring a daughter-in-law home, then don't come home during festivals!"
Clearly, Zhang Xiuzhen was tempted.
The main reason was that Chen Jiuyang's confidantes had all visited their home individually to pay their respects.
Chen Jianmin and Zhang Xiuzhen liked them very much; they were all very beautiful daughters-in-law.
These women also had a great deal of tacit understanding. Although they hadn't communicated, they had perfectly avoided overlapping times.
Women's intuition in this regard was quite sharp.
Chen Jiuyang smiled wryly. "I'll try my best, Mom and Dad."
A few years? That might be a bit difficult.
"Mom and Dad, I'm home."
Just then, Chen Yating, who was on winter break, returned home.
But she wasn't alone; Ji Lengyue returned with her.
"Uncle, Auntie," Ji Lengyue called out sweetly.
"Oh, Lengyue is here! Come in, sit down," Chen Jianmin and Zhang Xiuzhen immediately put on bright smiles and ushered Ji Lengyue inside.
"Mhm, okay." Ji Lengyue was very well-behaved in front of Chen Jiuyang's parents.
Chen Yating's job as an elementary school teacher in Fengcheng was also quite good. Chen Jiuyang basically hadn't interfered with the destinies of his close relatives.
People had to grow and accept everything in life on their own.
Chen Jiuyang asked Ji Lengyue, "Why did you come back with Yating?"
"I just finished a case and returned to Fengcheng. I met Yating at the station. I figured it was close to Spring Festival, so I drove Yating back and took the opportunity to see Uncle and Auntie." Ji Lengyue said.
Chen Jiuyang nodded slowly and asked, "How has work been recently?"
Ji Lengyue's face showed a hint of fatigue. "It's been very chaotic, not particularly good."
