After Cang Yue broke through, everyone sat on a picnic blanket and ate lunch, which Hong Guan tactfully prepared beforehand.
That's until Cang Yue uttered something regarding her family.
"Eh, You want me to visit your father?" Yu Long finished his food when Cang Yue proposed this idea.
Cang Yue nodded and smiled, "Yes. What's the matter, you don't want to meet him? Also, it should be your father-in-law now rather than just your father."
An awkward expression crept on Yu Long's face as he didn't mean to sound dense. After all, Yu Long was happy to have Cang Yue as his wife, but he never met her family aside from her mother, the Blue Wind Empire's Empress, Lan Shirou.
He chuckled weakly, "My bad."
"But why all of a sudden?"
Cang Yue placed a well-cooked meat in Yu Long's mouth and answered casually, "He just wanted to meet you."
"I mean, as a father-in-law, he wanted to meet the man who would marry his daughter, no? Although you're an excellent figure, nothing is better than meeting someone personally."
"Ah, so that's why." Yu Long nodded attentively, chewing the food fed by Cang Yue.
After changing Cang Yue's fate, Yu Long also altered the plot of the world substantially. The fallen Blue Wind Empire recovered with the help of the Lost Heaven Sect.
Cang Yue's Father, Cang Wanhe, was an able emperor.
He has an ambition to make the Blue Wind Empire great again, but he was 'purposely' sabotaged in the original story, which led him to become gravely ill.
The sabotage didn't happen in this timeline, nor did his wife Lan Shirou die earlier, allowing Cang Wanhe to rule the empire into prosperity.
Hong Guan placed down her chopsticks and commented, "If you want to visit the Blue Wind Imperial City, we still have enough time as the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament will only get started a month later."
"At the same time, there will be an auction at the Blue Wind Imperial City two weeks later. It's a good event to relax and enjoy your time with your father-in-law."
"You also might want to visit the branch there because we discovered some Star Eggs you mentioned earlier."
"Wow..." Xia Qingyue clapped her hands.
"Eh?" Cang Yue blinked at Hong Guan.
Yu Long stared at Hong Guan in disbelief. Since when did Hong Guan become such a capable secretary?
"Were you always this sensible?" Yu Long couldn't help but ask.
Hong Guan shook her head gently and said, "After a recent breakthrough in my profound arts mastery, I felt my mind become much clearer and could think faster."
"I used this to my advantage, managing the Lost Heaven Sect and Shadow Realm most efficiently."
"As for sensibleness, that was intentional because I want the best for you."
Yu Long felt touched by Hong Guan's words and sighed, "You must be tired..."
'If we have free time, would you like to go on a date, Guan?' He sent a sound transmission, which surprised Hong Guan a bit.
Hong Guan's green eyes widened as she nodded weakly, somewhat excited about their incoming date. Nevertheless, she must plan a few things first.
Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue didn't know the date between the two, but they could smell something in the air.
'What's this bubbly, warm mood?' Xia Qingyue glanced at Cang Yue.
'I don't know.' Cang Yue responded.
Meanwhile, Jasmine listened to their conversation and ate her desserts peacefully. She's in her own realm of joy!
...
The next day.
"You want to visit Wanhe? That's rare." Yu Zhan said after hearing about Yu Long's next trip.
"Yeah." Yu Long answered helplessly.
"That's rough, buddy." Xu Sanshan snickered at his grandson. "Well, there is nothing about visiting your in-laws."
Three men sat on the rock, watching the ladies pile gifts into a small mountain for Cang Yue's mother and father.
"Remember to give this shawl to your mother."
"And this one-thousand-year tonic is for your father."
"Oh, don't forget to take this jade bracelet!"
Cang Yue was overwhelmed by Xu Nannan and Yu Xin. Now Cang Yue understood how extremely pampered Xia Qingyue was a few days ago.
Xia Qingyue watched this with an amused expression.
Who doesn't love pampering? Of course, Xia Qingyue liked it, but one hour with Xu Nannan and Yu Xin was enough to make her admit defeat.
Watching Cang Yue suffer from the same success, Xia Qingyue felt relieved. People do say misery loves company.
After an hour or so, Cang Yue overstuffed her spatial storage with gifts from her grandmother-in-law and mother-in-law. We are talking about several thousand cubics of space.
"Send my hit to Shirou. I can't visit her yet because I have to feed her daily." Yu Xin said with a grin.
Xu Nannan revealed a merry expression and chuckled, "Yeah, the same goes for me. I have a big baby to take care of."
"Pfft-!" Everyone laughed when they heard Xu Nannan's words, including Yu Zhan and Yu Long.
Xu Sanshan glared at Yu Zhan with a dark expression and said, "I dare you to laugh, you little bastard! I dare you, I double dare you!"
"I..." Yu Zhan stopped laughing awkwardly.
Yu Zhan might have become a profound practitioner years ago and strong enough to protect his dear family, but fighting his father-in-law aroused PTSD deep in his bones and blood.
The day of broken bones was over, but Yu Zhan couldn't get over it.
'Don't worry, Father. I will laugh on your behalf!' Yu Long's voice suddenly echoed in Yu Zhan's head.
Yu Long held his stomach and suddenly added, "Old Man, Big Baby doesn't suit you. What about Old Baby instead, hahaha~!"
"Pfft-!" Xu Nannan was the one who laughed this time.
"..." Xu Sanshan.
"You despicable rascal!"
"You have no respect for elders at all!"
Yu Zhan stared at this and smiled inwardly because Yu Long still had his back.
Not long after, the elders watched Yu Long and his companions fly to the horizon.
"If you want to talk, talk with your fist." Xu Sanshan commented casually.
"You're strong, but not strong enough to defeat me yet."
"I'll be waiting." After saying that, Xu Sanshan turned around and flew away.
"Aih, he's not honest at all." Xu Nannan sighed and gave Yu Zhan an apologizing look. "I shouldn't have made that joke earlier."
"I... It's alright." Yu Zhan smiled wryly. "I'm used to it anyway."
'I know he was doing it for Yu Xin in the past, but I also have pride.' Yu Zhan stared at his father-in-law's back and vowed someday to beat him in a fair fight. Of course, He must train more and more for now.
Yu Xin stared at her husband and hugged his arm, "Let's go, I will comfort you..."
'Yeah, for Yu Xin and my family.' Yu Zhan's heart warmed.
Yu Long doesn't know, but he might get another younger sibling soon.
...
Yu Long and six beauties flew into the sky, creating a sonic beam with their speed alone.
"By the way, where is Lily?" Yu Long asked.
"Ah, yeah. Where is Lily?" Cang Yue finally realized someone was missing from their group.
Hong Guan patted her forehead and sighed, "She's already gone to the Blue Wind Imperial Family. She was the one who initiated the auction."
"That money-grubber..." Chu Yueli indifferently grumbled. "She probably wants to cheat everyone's money there."
"Is she that bad?" Chu Yuechan, who flew beside Chu Yueli, asked.
Yu Long, Xia Qingyue, Cang Yue, Hong Guan, and Chu Yueli opened their mouth and said, "Yes."
"She even cheated me once." Yu Long recalled when they were staying at the Dragon God Trial Ground.
"Eh?" Chu Yuechan gasped in shock. Is that even possible?
Yu Long waved his hand and continued, "Don't look at me like that. Even though I'm godlike in your eyes, I'm not perfect."
"Only a few people could win against me in a gamble, and Lily is one of them."
After hearing that, Chu Yuechan frowned and decided to remember Yu Long's words. She wouldn't trust Lily with her money!
Jasmine listened to Yu Long's frustration and couldn't help but think, who is this great master who could make this scoundrel suffer? With this in mind, she was curious.
'Can I learn from her?' Jasmine thought seriously.
Three hours later.
They arrived at the Blue Wind Imperial Family, landing in the Blue Wind Royal Palace's garden. Several guards immediately surrounded them, but Cang Yue stepped forward and dismissed them.
"Dear, let's go." Cang Yue sweetly said as she hugged Yu Long's arm.
Yu Long nodded, and they entered the palace.
"Hey, is that?" One guard dumbly stared at Yu Long's back.
"Yes, he must be Princess's fiance."
"The only disciple of Lost Heaven Master and young master of the titan merchant clan, Yu Long!"
"As expected, he's such an extraordinary young man."
Cang Yue dragged Yu Long to the gallery room and opened the door, revealing a middle-aged man in an azure robe.
"Father, I'm back!" Cang Yue leaped and hugged the middle-aged man.
"Welcome back." Cang Wanhe welcomed his daughter's return.
"And you're Yu Long, I suppose?"
Yu Long nodded and smiled, "Yes, nice to meet you, your majesty."
Cang Wanhe's eyes lit up as he chuckled in amusement, "You can call me Father or Father-in-law. And your status is higher than mine. There is no need for such formality."
"It's still early in the morning. What about breakfast?"
"Sure." Yu Long found this father-in-law of his more amiable than he presumed.
