Jiang Ci and Yan Shu stayed in the Sake Village for one night and left early the next morning under the escort of the townspeople.

Logically speaking, Jiang Ci is a person of this dimension of time and space. If he wants to go to a higher dimension of cultivation, his physical body will be squeezed by the space-time tunnel during the process of traveling, but he can avoid the invasion by staying in Yan Shu's space.

Canglan Continent

This is a continent where cultivation is the main focus. All the people on the continent are at the cultivator level. There is no concept of country on the Canglan Continent. Everyone's cultivation has reached a high level, so no war has been launched on this continent for thousands of years.

The small town sent Yan Shu directly back to Wangyou Island where Yu Xuanji lived. The island was very large, with towering mountains and lush plants. Many spiritual animals could be seen everywhere. At the foot of the mountain was a dense peach blossom forest. At the end of the forest was a flat grassland and a wide river. Down the river was the endless sea.

When Yu Xuanji met Yan Shu in the sea of ​​consciousness, it was on Wangyou Island.

After Yan Shu came back, he immediately slipped into the space and saw Jiang Ci sitting in the glass tea room reading a book. He finally felt relieved.

Although Xiao Zhenzi said that the space could safely take people out of the time tunnel, she was still worried about accidents.

Seeing Yan Shu coming in, Jiang Ci immediately put down the book in his hand, stood up and walked out of the tea room.

"Are we there yet?"

Yan Shu smiled and took his hand and said, "Well, I'll take you to see my father."

"it is good!"

The two of them flashed away and left the space.

Jiang Ci stood on the green grass. The breeze blew past, and the air was filled with the scent of grass and flowers.

He looked around curiously. The place was filled with clouds and mist, as if he was in a fairyland. To be precise, this was what ordinary people believed to be the fairyland. He had been practicing diligently over the years, and when he came here, he felt a strong spiritual energy surrounding him.

The two of them walked through the peach blossom forest and arrived outside a manor. As soon as Yan Shu walked to the gate of the manor, the door opened automatically as if it had sensed something, and Yan Shu and Jiang Ci walked straight in.

There were several spiritual pets in the yard, including cranes, elks, peacocks and other animals whose names could not be remembered. They immediately ran over when they saw Yan Shu. A white shadow rushed to the front. When they saw Jiang Ci, they braked suddenly, and stared at him in disbelief with a pair of big, round eyes, with a bit of inquiry and a bit of doubt.

"Is it Snowball?"

Jiang Ci recognized the little guy at a glance. After not seeing Snowball for a few years, he had grown into an adult fox, but the fear in his eyes remained the same.

"It is this. These years, Xiao Zhenzi and I have often traveled to other small worlds to complete missions, so I asked my father to take care of it temporarily. My father should be in the alchemy room at this time. Let's go find him."

Jiang Ci nodded, followed Yan Shu around the huge courtyard, followed the path to the back house, crossed a water bridge, and finally arrived outside a two-story attic.

"Daddy!"

Yan Shu shouted towards the attic, and Jiang Ci stood aside and looked around. The water bridge they just passed had extremely strong spiritual energy, which meant that the water flowing in the river below was not ordinary water. It was similar to the spiritual spring water in the little fox's space, but the spiritual energy was much more abundant.

Squeak!

The wooden door opened, and a smoky green figure instantly appeared at the door.

"Are you finally willing to come back?"

Yu Xuanji glanced at Jiang Ci with a cold gaze, then turned his head and glanced at Yan Shu's lower abdomen.

"Didn't he go to the apocalypse? Why did you bring him back?"

Yan Shu walked up to Yu Xuanji with a smile: "This is what happened..."

Yan Shu briefly recounted what had happened, but the little boy pretended to be dead and dared not answer.

Yu Xuanji was silent for a while: "Have you recovered your memory?"

"Yes, I remember everything, Dad. Since I can go back to that place and meet Ah Ci again, it means that we are destined to be together, just like you and my mother. My mother is still unconscious, but you still stay by her side and never leave her."

Jiang Ci walked forward and bowed respectfully to Yu Xuanji, saying, "My son-in-law greets my father-in-law. I hope you can let me take care of Jiaojiao. I will treat her as my own life in this life."

Yu Xuanji was silent for a moment, and said: "You followed Jiaojiao here, so you must adapt to the environment here as soon as possible. Come with me."

"Yes!"

"I'll go with you." Yan Shu held Jiang Ci's hand.

Yu Xuanji glanced at her with cold eyes: "Are you afraid that I will eat him?"

Yan Shu laughed: "Dad would never do that. This is Ah Ci's first time coming to our house and he is not familiar with the environment here. I just want to accompany him."

Jiang Ci soothed her softly, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon with my father-in-law, just wait for me at home."

Yan Shu looked at Yu Xuanji, who turned his gaze away with a cold face, obviously not wanting to take her with him.

"Well, come back early."

Yu Xuanji took the lead and walked towards the back mountain. Jiang Ci responded and followed closely.

“Come with me!”

After walking out of the manor, Yu Xuanji flew up the mountain as soon as he finished speaking. Jiang Ci followed closely using his lightness skills. Even though he was very good at lightness skills, he could still barely see Yu Xuanji.

Coming to a cave in the mountains, Jiang Ci looked around and saw that the cave was full of colorful spiritual stones, shining with brilliant light like colorful crystals. There was a pool of water in the center of the cave, which was as gorgeous as a rainbow under the shining of the colorful stones.

"Take off your clothes and jump in. You can only come down the mountain after three days."

Jiang Ci walked towards the pool and a chill instantly hit him.

"Father-in-law, is this the marrow washing pool?"

Yu Xuanji nodded: "Yes, the dimension of this continent is much higher than the place where you lived before. Jiaojiao brought you here without knowing the inside story. Your body is not suitable for living here at all, so you must undergo marrow cleansing first."

"I understand."

Yu Xuanji threw a bottle of medicine into Jiang Ci's hand: "The process of marrow cleansing will be very painful. This bottle of medicine can help you relieve some of the pain. The rest depends on your luck."

Jiang Ci said gratefully: "Thank you, father-in-law. As long as I can stay with her, no matter how much pain I suffer, it is worth it."

"I'll come to see you in three days."

"I'd like to trouble my father-in-law to keep this a secret. I don't want Jiaojiao to worry too much."

"Ah."

After responding, Yu Xuanji walked out of the cave.

Jiang Ci then took off his clothes and walked into the marrow washing pool.

-

Yan Shu sat at the gate of the courtyard waiting for Jiang Ci and Yu Xuanji to come back. Not long after, he saw Yu Xuanji coming back alone.

"Dad, where is Aciren?"

"I will teach him some cultivation techniques. He will be in seclusion in the back mountain for a few days. If you have nothing to do during these days, don't go to the back mountain to disturb him."

Yan Shu frowned slightly: "Practice is not a one-time thing. He just arrived and hasn't adapted to the life here yet. Why did you let him go into seclusion?"

Originally, she wanted to take Jiang Ci to travel around this continent.

Yu Xuanji said, "He needs to improve his cultivation as soon as possible so that he can better integrate into the life here. This is also what he meant. Okay, Daddy promises to bring him back safely in three days, so you can just rest assured and take care of the baby."

Seeing Yu Xuanji's promise, Yan Shu knew that he would not lie to him, so he felt relieved.

"Let's go see mother."

The father and daughter came to the house where Yu Xuanji lived. Nan Wu had been in a coma since she was brought back by Yu Xuanji. Yu Xuanji had taken care of her personally over the years.

"Daddy, how long will it take for Mommy to wake up?"

Yu Xuanji sat on the edge of the bed, gazing at his wife affectionately.

"I recently found a way to wake her up in an ancient book. I still need to collect several kinds of spiritual medicine. I will be away in a few days. You two should stay at home and take good care of the house."

"You're going to look for the elixir?"

"Well, only by gathering those magical herbs can your mother wake up earlier. I hope she can also see our grandson when he is born."

three days later

Yu Xuanji came to the cave and saw Jiang Ci sitting cross-legged in the pool. There was a white mist lingering around him and faint flashes of white light.

"Yes, you are indeed a good candidate for cultivation."

Jiang Ci slowly opened his eyes, stood up, put on his clothes, flew to the ground, and bowed to Yu Xuanji.

"I also want to thank my father-in-law for the bottle of elixir he gave me. If it weren't for the elixir, the marrow cleansing process would have been a hundred times more painful."

Yu Xuanji said, "Since Jiaojiao married you and you followed her here, I will not sit idly by. Although the marrow cleansing was very successful, you must speed up your practice in the future. There are no wastes on this continent, and she often travels through various small worlds to perform missions. If you want to protect your woman, you have to make yourself stronger."

"Xiao Xu will remember my father-in-law's teachings!"

"Let's go down the mountain. That girl has been talking about you every day these days. My ears are almost callused."

When Jiang Ci thought of Yan Shu, his cold face softened instantly.

The marrow cleansing process was very painful, even several times more painful than when he was infected with the burning heart poison. After taking the pills given by Yu Xuanji, the symptoms were significantly relieved, at least it was bearable. After three days, he could sense the changes in his body, especially the faint energy swirling in his dantian.

When Yan Shu saw Jiang Ci returning safely, she finally put her mind at ease. She personally cooked several of her signature dishes, and the family of three sat around and had dinner together. Jiang Ci was humble and polite in front of Yu Xuanji, and would take the initiative to ask about things he didn't understand in cultivation. Seeing that he was eager to learn, Yu Xuanji took out a book and gave it to him after dinner.

"This book contains the essence needed for the primary stage of cultivation. You should practice well. I'm going to go out for a while. Please take good care of Jiaojiao and her unborn baby in the next few months."

Jiang Ci asked with concern: "How long will father-in-law be out?"

"I'll try to get back before the baby is born."

-

Five months later

Yan Shu was finally due to give birth. Yu Xuanji came back early as she had said and also invited a midwife from outside.

The delivery process went very smoothly and Yan Shu gave birth to a daughter. He was quite surprised to see that the child had thick hair and beautiful looks.

When the eldest sister-in-law gave birth, her nephew looked like a wrinkled old man. She thought her own child would be as ugly, but instead of being wrinkled, he turned out to be delicate and handsome, with eyes and brows that looked more like Jiang Ci.

The midwife helped Yan Shu clean himself, changed his clothes, and then picked up the swaddled baby and said with a smile.

"This child is really beautiful. I will take him out and show him to them."

Yan Shu reached out and touched the child's cheek. Thinking that this little thing was actually born from her belly, she felt a sense of novelty as a first-time mother.

The door opened, and the midwife smiled at Jiang Ci and said, "The child is born, it's a daughter."

Jiang Ci glanced at the child quickly, made sure the child was fine, and hurried into the house. Yu Xuanji and Xiao Zhenzi hurried over to see the child.

Xiao Zhenzi regained his human form after taking the Fengling Pill, but now he could only maintain the appearance of a two or three-year-old child. He stood on tiptoes and tried to raise his head to take a look at the child's appearance, but he could not see anything due to his limited height.

Yu Xuanji picked up the child and stared at him for a long time with a smile on his face. Afraid that the wind outside would blow the child, he would use his wide sleeves to cover the child from time to time.

After standing outside the door and asking Yan Shu a few questions, he took the child back to his room. Coming to the bedside, looking at his wife who had not yet woken up, Yu Xuanji gently placed the child on the bedside.
