Qian Nan.

Celestial Fate City.

Liu Zixuan got out of the car, took off his heavy winter coat, and murmured, "It feels like the north and south are like two different gods. The Land of the Far North is freezing cold, but this Qian Nan Land feels like a warm spring breeze."

Gu Yu laughed and said, "That’s why the southern tourism industry is the best in winter. Many people from the north come south to escape the cold."

Mo Chengfeng asked, "Zixuan, are you heading straight to the Willow Association?"

Liu Zixuan thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "By the way, where are the Shadow Guards Tiger brought from the Celestial Capital?"

"They’ve already returned to the Celestial Capital. After all, there’s the Willow Association here, and it’s not good to have people from other forces appearing constantly. Tiger sent them back soon after we set out," Mo Chengfeng replied.

Liu Zixuan grinned; he had planned to take care of some things but decided to forget it for now.

He waved and said, "I’ll make a trip to the Willow Association, pack up, and prepare to head back north. I’ll also ask the Ancestor of the Willow Association about that pearl."

"Alright, we brothers will go straight back to Xiumei Company," Gu Yu said with a smile.

Liu Zixuan nodded, "If you have time, manage the company well. Let’s strive to make our brand, Xiumei, flourish all over the south."

"This has to be left to Gu Yu, then. He knows Feng Shui and fortune-telling; business relies on these things," Mo Chengfeng laughed as he and Gu Yu got into another car and drove towards Tianchen City.

Meanwhile, Liu Zixuan drove his Mercedes to the Willow Association.

Inside the Willow Assembly Hall.

The beautiful master sipped her tea from a blue and white porcelain cup, listening to the magpies chirping outside. She smiled gently, "Looks like there’s good news today."

"Is Zixuan coming back?" Liu Ruyan asked anxiously.

The beautiful master chuckled, "What? Is it only good news if it’s something to do with Zixuan?"

"But I think, apart from his safe return, there’s nothing else good happening now," Liu Ruyan, blushing, sat next to the beautiful master, "Sister, I heard during this trip to the Witch Country, Zixuan and the others faced a lot of dangers. I wonder if he got hurt or how he is now."

The beautiful master patted Liu Ruyan’s hand softly, "Don’t worry. Knowing him, he’ll be fine wherever he goes."

"You’re so confident in Zixuan."

The beautiful master paused and then laughed, "You little girl, don’t you have confidence in him too?"

"He’s back, he’s back!"

At this moment, Bai Jingjing’s voice echoed from the hall.

Before anyone was seen, her excitement was evident just from her voice.

Liu Ruyan and the beautiful master quickly got up and went to the door. Seeing the familiar figure gradually appear at the manor’s gate, Liu Ruyan’s eyes instantly welled with tears.

Going to the Witch Country, they all knew Liu Zixuan had to face many dangers.

During these days, aside from improving their own abilities, they spent almost all their time worrying about Liu Zixuan. They dared not call him, fearing they’d disturb him. But it was precisely because of this that their longing became an ailment, leaving them unable to focus on anything else.

Liu Zixuan strode over to the three beautiful women, grinning broadly, "Hahaha, now that this little master is back, shouldn’t you all show your appreciation?"

The beautiful master looked Liu Zixuan up and down and, seeing he wasn’t injured, pretended to be annoyed and rolled her eyes, "Always the same indecent manner."

After that, she walked straight into the hall.

But Liu Ruyan directly threw herself into Liu Zixuan’s arms, nervously asking, "Are you okay?"

Feeling the faint fragrance and the wonderful sensation of a beauty in his arms, Liu Zixuan put on a troubled face and mumbled, "Ruyan, I almost couldn’t see you again."

"What happened? Are you hurt?" Liu Ruyan quickly asked.

Liu Zixuan pointed at himself, "So many injuries; I haven’t had time to treat them yet. How about you take me to your room and take a good look?"

"Then let’s hurry, I’ll call sister to help you heal," Liu Ruyan said urgently, not realizing Liu Zixuan was teasing her, as she pulled him inside in a hurry.

But Bai Jingjing, on the side, immediately saw through Liu Zixuan’s trick.

As the saying goes, "being concerned leads to chaos," Liu Ruyan was just too worried about Liu Zixuan, so she got so anxious, but she was fooled by him.

She stepped forward and pulled Liu Ruyan back, "Don’t listen to him. Look at him; does he seem hurt?"

Liu Zixuan rubbed his forehead, "Jingjing, that’s not right of you."

"What did I do wrong?" Bai Jingjing crossed her arms and laughed, "Everyone’s familiar here. If you really were hurt, there’s no need to go to Ruyan’s room. Just strip here, and if there are real wounds, treat them right here."

"You..." Liu Zixuan was momentarily stunned and then sighed deeply, "Jingjing, the physical wounds heal easily, but the wounds in the heart are hard to mend."

"Tsk tsk." Bai Jingjing laughed, "Your heart can be hurt?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zixuan immediately put on a very sad expression, which didn’t look faked.

Shaking his head, "Forget it, you won’t understand the wounds of my fragile heart."

For a moment, Bai Jingjing also softened, exchanging a glance with Liu Ruyan, and they both asked in unison, "What exactly happened?"

"Better not bring it up. I don’t want you to be sad with me," Liu Zixuan waved his hand.

But the more he acted this way, the more anxious the two beauties became, rushing to him to press him further.

"Zixuan, just tell us," Liu Ruyan said, hugging Liu Zixuan’s arm.

"If I told you, could you help me?" Liu Zixuan asked, looking up.

"I’ll definitely help you," Liu Ruyan nodded firmly.

"And you?"

Bai Jingjing also nodded repeatedly, "Hurry up and say it. How can we help you if you don’t tell us?"

Liu Zixuan took a deep breath, hugged both beauties, and headed straight to the inner room.

"No, no, no, tell us what’s going on. Why are you taking us inside?" Liu Ruyan and Bai Jingjing asked, puzzled.

"Didn’t you say you’d help me?" Liu Zixuan said earnestly, "Zhao Yi got married, and Gu Yu predicted that his wife could get pregnant soon. I’m Zhao Yi’s big brother, and since he’s going to be a father, I have to work hard too. Seeing his happiness makes my heart ache."

"What!?" The two beauties sensed something was amiss.

"You just said you wanted to help me. So if I want to be a dad too, you two have to cooperate. Stop with all the chatter and focus on helping me become a father by next year," Liu Zixuan said with determination.

Bai Jingjing and Liu Ruyan immediately felt several black lines appear on their foreheads. This trick... really made them want to beat Liu Zixuan up!
