Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 510: Chapter 507: Forever and Ever, Waiting for You!

Shen Li had completely broken through, and his absorption of the Power of Heaven and Earth had lasted for a full three days.

On the morning of the fourth day, when the Power of Heaven and Earth dissipated, Shen Li’s eyes once again opened.

Now looking at him, Shen Li was still Shen Li, seemingly still that aged figure.

But he had become a Dragon Emperor Realm powerhouse.

The birth of every Dragon Emperor Realm being was extremely difficult, like Shen Li, who had such high talent; yet, without Su Han’s help, he would likely have failed and become a Pseudo-Emperor.

As he retracted his aura and descended from the Void, standing in the square, the way everyone looked at him changed.

It was a look of respect.

Ignoring the gaze of the crowd, Shen Li looked at Su Han and was about to kneel on one knee.

He knew that his achievements today were all made by Su Han; even this breakthrough would have failed without his help.

Just as he was about to kneel, Su Han appeared in a flash, bringing Xiao Yuhui, Xiao Yuran, Su Qing, and Su Yao right in front of Shen Li.

Su Han reached out to support Shen Li and said, ”As a father, how can you bow down to your children and grandchildren?”

Shen Li’s expression was intricate as he looked at Su Han, ”I was overthinking; you are the Sect Master, and Qing’er and Yao’er are Young Sect Masters, Yuhui and Yuran are the Sect Master’s Wives, I am under your care, and dare not overstep.”

”If I were really overstepping, would I ever reveal the secrets in my heart to you?”

Su Han gave a light smile, ”Since it’s accepted, don’t stand on ceremony, we all have seen your intentions; henceforth, in your presence, I won’t refer to myself as ’this Sect Master’ anymore.”

”This...”

Shen Li looked at Su Han, momentarily at a loss for words.

”Grandpa... Grandpa Shen Li, you scared Yao’er...”

Su Yao’s little hands tightly grasped Shen Li’s palm and gently shook it as she spoke in her somewhat childish voice.

Being just a child, her words were naturally sincere, and no one doubted them.

Meanwhile, Su Qing shook her little head, pouted her lips, and hummed, ”I won’t just call you grandpa for nothing; if someone bullies me later, you have to help me, like him!”

Saying this, Su Qing pointed at Su Han.

This scene immediately made everyone in the audience laugh out loud, even Su Han rolled his eyes in exasperation at this little trickster.

”Shen Li... What merit do I possess!”

Shen Li’s body trembled, and though he had broken through, the wrinkles on his face seemed to have deepened, and tears welled up in his somewhat turbid eyes.

”Throughout my life, I had no children or grandchildren; I yearned for family ties, for a home, and now, I have found that home.”

A moment later, Shen Li bent over, picked up Su Qing and Su Yao, and walked toward the distance.

”Grandpa, grandpa, I want that clay figure, the one from the picture just now, the clay figure you held in your hand.”

”Stinky sister, I saw that clay figure first, there’s only one, you can’t have it!”

”Hahaha, you both will have one, grandpa will make one for each of you!”

The childlike voices mingled with Shen Li’s laughter gradually echoed across the square.

Su Yunming, watching from a distance, felt neither displeasure nor jealousy, because for Shen Li, whether on a personal level, in terms of cultivation base, or in contributions to the Sect, he deserved to be called grandpa by Su Qing and Su Yao.

Compared to him, Su Yunming felt somewhat ashamed.

In speaking frankly, he was only related by bloodline to them and was really not very capable in that role.

”Now that the Purple Demon Spirit Emperor has broken through, our Phoenix Sect should also do some necessary things before this upcoming disaster.”

Su Han pondered for a moment and then said, ”The Five Divine Guard Corps, each selects a hundred men, ordinary disciples ten thousand, gather in the square tomorrow morning, eradicate the Sixth-Rate Sect, Ruyi Sect!”

”Yes!”

Below was a chorus of shouts as everyone accepted their orders.

...

That night, the sky was covered with dark clouds, apparently ready to rain.

The moonlight was obscured by the clouds, casting the world into pitch darkness.

In Su Han’s room, two people he had anticipated arrived.

Xiao Yuran, Xiao Yuhui.

”Come in,” he said.

Seeing the two hesitating at the doorway, Su Han looked up, and smiled slightly, ”I know what you want to ask, what you’re curious about.”

The two exchanged glances, and finally, Xiao Yuhui asked, ”That woman, is she the one you have always been missing in your heart?”

”Yes.”

Su Han nodded, his response utterly unguarded.

”Her name is Liu Qingyao, envied by the heavens and earth, unaccepted by the starry sky, once stayed with me for thirty-thousand years, and finally left me.”

”Thirty-thousand years...”

They didn’t disbelieve, rather, upon hearing these words, they fell silent.

The two of them are not yet thirty years old, for them, thirty-thousand years is an unimaginably long and vast period.

”She was beautiful,” Xiao Yuran spoke.

”Indeed, very beautiful.”

Su Han nodded lightly, then smiled, ”You are both beautiful as well.”

”No, compared to her, we are like the light of a firefly against the full moon; we fall short by a great distance,” Xiao Yuran shook her head.

”Is she... still alive?” Xiao Yuhui asked.

”I don’t know.”

Su Han lifted his gaze, looking towards where the cave existed, murmuring, ”Here, I have seen her, but she was always peacefully lying there, whether she is alive or has passed away, I am not sure.”

”Have you seen her?” Both looked up inquisitively.

Su Han nodded, then said no more.

Xiao Yuhui and Xiao Yuran, their experience is ultimately too limited, no matter how much he said, they would not understand.

”In the future, don’t call us Sect Master’s Wife anymore, and our address to you will still be just Sect Master, not husband,” Xiao Yuhui spoke softly.

Su Han was startled, about to speak, when Xiao Yuran added, ”It’s not that we feel we can’t compare to her and aren’t worthy of you, but we feel, if we’re truly to call you husband, it should at least be with her approval.”

After these words, the two no longer stayed in the room and left.

Watching their retreating figures, Su Han sighed softly.

As he raised his head again, he looked towards the cave, his gaze seeming to penetrate the Teleportation Formation, the Realm Within a Realm, to see that giant platform and the unrivaled figure lying there.

”Qingyao, whether you have truly passed away or are still alive, I will still be waiting for you, for eternity.”

These words gradually drifted out of the room, into the sky, and into the cave.

On the platform, Liu Qingyao’s fingers moved once more.

”Who is it...”

The same words as three days ago, but this time, she did not open her eyes, nor did the giant hand appear again.
