Note: The previous Chapter was rushed, so some plot points were not clearly written and have been revised.

The true self of Lanling first entered the courtyard to meet with Gui Qinshao, while his clone went to punish the Sky Academy President Luo Suo and his wife.

...

A powerful and robust force swept over Ashi Yuanba’s body, causing him to awaken.

Held in Lanling’s embrace, Gui Ling’er, without saying a word, directly swung a small fist towards Lanling’s face. Lanling opened his mouth, caught the little girl’s fist with it, then released it, and then opened his mouth again to nibble on Gui Ling’er’s small nose.

"Hehehe..." The little girl turned away, desperately trying to dodge.

Ashi Yuanba looked at Lanling’s face for a long time, biting his teeth fiercely to stop his tears from falling, and then he directly knelt down, holding Lanling’s feet with both hands, pressing his forehead tightly against Lanling’s feet.

"Master..."

Only after a good while did Ashi Yuanba finally speak.

"Lift up your head," Lanling said.

Ashi Yuanba lifted his head.

"You’ve really grown, and you’ve become very handsome," Lanling smiled and said, "Your mother is well, your father is well, Qin Qin is well..."

"Yes...Master, not a day goes by at Sky Academy that I don’t think of you," Ashi Yuanba finally couldn’t hold back, and tears fell down.

"I miss you too, I miss Qin Qin," Lanling said. "Your mother thinks of you every single day."

"Hmmph..." Gui Ling’er was listening to Lanling speak with her ears perked up, and soon she realized this man was her father. However, she heard him say he missed Ashi Yuanba, missed Qin Qin, but didn’t say he missed her, which made her angry and she struggled to get down.

"The one I miss the most, is my precious daughter Ling’er..." Lanling looked at his daughter with deep affection, she was indeed a bit frailer, just like Qin Qin was at the time, appearing two or three years younger than her actual age.

However, she, after all, carries the bloodline of the Chaos Emperor, so her bloodline power should be very strong, and she would soon grow up quickly.

"Master..."

At this moment, Ye Jingfeng and Ye Jingyu inside voiced in disbelief, then covered their small mouths, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, Gui Qinshao quieted down, gently and quietly standing there.

Lanling walked over, looking at Gui Qinshao, and said, "You’ve changed a lot, you look even better than before."

Gui Qinshao’s beautiful eyes gazed at Lanling with intoxication and said, "When I knew you were here, and that disgusting man Luo Suo approached me, I saw your face flash in the sky, then an energy filled my entire body, making me instantly safe and peaceful. At that moment, I knew you were here."

Lanling said, "My phantom clone is currently at Luo Suo’s place punishing him; I will make him regret living in this world."

"I’ve cut my hair short, do you like it?" Gui Qinshao softly said.

"I like it a lot, it’s like you’ve become a different person," Lanling said.

At this moment, Yan Xue’er whispered on the side, "Brother..."

Lanling reached out, pinched Xiaoxue’s chin, and said, "You really haven’t changed a bit, you’re exactly the same as ten years ago."

Then Gui Qinshao held herself with dignity and said, "Xiaoxue, take Ling’er out, I have something to say to your brother."

"Okay." Yan Xue’er said.

Ye Jingfeng and Ye Jingyu blushed, hurriedly stepping forward to carry Gui Ling’er away.

Then everyone left the courtyard, leaving only Lanling and Gui Qinshao.

Instantly, Gui Qinshao’s face flushed, her beautiful eyes turned from dignified to fiery and wanton, her lips turned a deep red like blood.

Then she took off every piece of clothing one by one, finally turning a circle in front of Lanling.

"I haven’t changed at all, I am still the same Gui Qinshao, that dazzling Gui Qinshao," Gui Qinshao trembled and moaned, "From today onward, I want to grow my hair long, I want to style my hair, I want to dye my hair, I want to wear the most beautiful dresses, I want to wear the most fiery and sexy makeup, I want to wear the most gorgeous jewelry, I want to reclaim every part of the past ten years that I’ve lost!"

...

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong..." Gu Ban’s daughter Gu NianNian knelt in front of Ashi Yuanba, tears streaming down, looking pitiful and said, "Yuanba, I love you, I really love you, I beg you to forgive my foolishness and worthlessness for the sake of our past deep love."

Ashi Yuanba stared coldly at Gu NianNian.

Ashi Yuanba’s heart was filled with cold mockery, he was just like his father Ashi Luo, obsessively stubborn to the extreme. From beginning to end, his heart only held one girl, that girl who couldn’t speak, yet was incredibly wise and kind, the girl who was his childhood friend, Qin Qin.

Compared to Qin Qin’s beauty and kindness, pure and immaculate, this Gu NianNian before him truly made him feel disgusted.

Back then, Gu NianNian pursued him, and he only pretended to be with Gu NianNian to protect his master’s wife and his sister Gui Ling’er. Now, he found even one more look at this woman nauseating.

At this moment, Gu NianNian’s beautiful eyes were enchanting, as she reached out to undo Ashi Yuanba’s clothes.

Ashi Yuanba reached out, directly pushed aside Gu NianNian’s face which was about to kiss him, and said, "I’ll tell you something."

Gu NianNian softly said, "Go ahead, I love you, I’ll listen to anything you say."

"In the future, do not appear before me. Even if my godfather wants to kill your entire family, don’t come seeking my help. If you don’t come to see me, I might still have a tiny bit of pity for you; if you do come, I’ll find you more and more repulsive, not waiting for my godfather to act, I might just kill you myself." Ashi Yuanba said.

After saying this, Ashi Yuanba left.

Gu NianNian collapsed, directly falling to the ground.

...

Lanling returned to the Sky Holy Palace with Gui Qinshao and her daughter, Ashi Yuanba, Ye Jingfeng, Ye Jingyu, Yan Xue’er and other family members.

Outside the Floating Heaven Palace, Qin Qin’s face was constantly red, sometimes looking down at her toes, other times gazing up at the sky, appearing both nervous and apprehensive.

She hadn’t seen Ashi Yuanba for a full ten years.

"Oh, missing dad after just one day of not seeing him?" Fu Yan’er said: "Are you missing dad or someone else?"

Qin Qin’s already flushed face turned even redder like blood.

"Swish swish swish..."

Suddenly, several figures appeared on the platform of the Floating Heaven Palace.

At first glance, Qin Qin saw a tall young figure. He had grown so tall, almost as tall as dad.

After one look, she quickly lowered her gaze but soon lifted her head again, bravely looking at Ashi Yuanba.

Ashi Yuanba’s performance was even more pitiful. He had always been cold as ice, but now he was breathing rapidly, at a loss for what to do with his hands and feet, and his face was even redder than Qin Qin’s.

"Go ahead, wasn’t it easy to act with Gu NianNian? Why so hopeless now..." Lanling smiled.

Ashi Yuanba rasped: "Master, Gu NianNian and I were just putting on a show, I... I will confess to Qin Qin."

"Okay." Lanling said.

Ashi Yuanba took a deep breath and walked towards Qin Qin.

As he approached, Qin Qin gradually calmed down, while Ashi Yuanba grew increasingly nervous, hardly able to breathe.

"Qin Qin, I did something wrong to you at Sky Academy, I want to confess..." Ashi Yuanba said.

Immediately, Lanling was speechless.

Beside him, Gui Qinshao also burst out laughing, then leaned close to Lanling’s ear and whispered: "See, Yuanba is purer than you. We all know that he was with Gu NianNian entirely to protect us. I saw him go home countless times, desperately brushing his teeth, rinsing his mouth, even sticking his fingers down his throat to vomit, certainly after kissing Gu NianNian."

Lanling laughed: "This kid is sick, just like his father Ashi Luo."

"You’re the one who’s sick..." Gui Qinshao retorted playfully: "Anyway, I really like this kid, Qin Qin marrying him would definitely be happy. He liked a girl at the age of ten and hasn’t changed since."

Over there, Ashi Yuanba had already confessed his sins to Qin Qin and then anxiously looked at her.

"You can punish me however you want because I was wrong, I betrayed you." Ashi Yuanba said, waiting for Qin Qin’s judgment.

Qin Qin’s flushed face looked at Ashi Yuanba and softly said: "It’s okay."

Lanling was stunned, then said: "Oh no, my daughter is sick too, how can such a thing be okay?"

"Alright, let’s go..." Gui Qinshao pulled Lanling along: "Our Qin Qin daughter is no ordinary person, she’s extraordinarily smart."

...

The first leader of the Sky Holy Palace, Shi Tian died, strangled alive.

On the day he died, all the high-level members of the Sky Holy Palace were watching. Shi Tian’s death was not shocking at all, like an ordinary old farmer.

But this gave everyone unparalleled shock.

Shi Tian, the absolute first leader of the Sky Holy Palace, their former master, just died like that, without any ceremony, it’s the most terrifying.

On that day, Huai Bingyi directly came before Lanling and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, I don’t want to die. I am still useful, very useful. I am the second smartest person in this world after Your Majesty. I can govern the Human Kingdom, I can serve Your Majesty tirelessly."

Lanling looked at the trembling Huai Bingyi kneeling on the ground and said: "A few days ago, weren’t you eager to die in front of me? Why are you so afraid of death now?"

Huai Bingyi said: "A few days ago, indignation supported me. But as time passed, indignation and passion faded, and fear surged in, making me so pitiful."

Then, Huai Bingyi turned to Fu Zilin and said: "Your Highness, I beg you, for the sake of taking care of you before, save me."

Lanling said: "Go back and wait!"

...

That night, Lanling issued a decree!

Gu Ban executed, Huai Bingyi executed!

Except for those who surrendered at the beginning, all Tomb Priests, all Sky Priests, all Candidate Sky Priests, executed!

All Sub-King Layer Energy, King-Level Energy, reclaimed.
