Chapter 2689: Children of the Gods

Seeing Yan Aohan’s heartache for her daughter, Zhu Yanyi smiled helplessly but said nothing. In fact, not even she trusted Liu Kang.

As for Liu Kang’s final fate, since Yan Aohan had intervened, there was no good outcome for him. His memories and identity were erased, and he was cast into the mortal realm to undergo tribulation. Since this man was a scum of humanity who loved pleasure, it was fitting to make him an animal that only ate and slept.

Yan Yuxi did not keep Liu Kang in her heart. Hearing that her parents had returned, she hurried back to the Yan Palace to visit Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi.

“Mom, Dad.” Yan Yuxi’s face was full of joy.

Zhu Yanyi was planting medicinal herbs in the courtyard of the Yan Palace, while Yan Aohan helped beside her. Seeing Yan Yuxi return, Yan Aohan raised an eyebrow slightly. “I thought our little princess of the Yan Palace didn’t know we were back.”

“Mom, Dad, you underestimate me too much. I knew you were back, so how could I not come? Even when you were away before, I came back every week to visit my brother,” Yan Yuxi nodded seriously.

“This is the Yan Palace, your home. You don’t need to ‘visit’ me,” Yan Xizhong walked over and greeted Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi. “Mom, Dad.” She then handed a document to Yan Aohan with both hands. “Dad, regarding the banquet to celebrate Mom becoming a god, I had someone make a plan. Please look. If you have no objections, we will proceed as planned.”

Yan Aohan put down his work, took the document from Yan Xizhong, and flipped through it. He nodded. “Good idea. Let’s do it this way. Simple and lively, just the way your mom likes.”

“Alright, I’ll go down and order preparations immediately,” Yan Xizhong said hurriedly.

Yan Yuxi’s eyes lit up. “Brother, can I help you?”

Yan Xizhong glanced at Yan Yuxi and smiled faintly. “Not accompanying your Liu Kang anymore?”

“What Liu Kang? Brother, don’t talk nonsense. I broke up with her long ago.” Yan Yuxi carefully glanced at Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi, worried they might be angry. Seeing they were not, she nodded seriously. “Well, there won’t be anyone named Liu Kang in the future.”

Yan Aohan glanced at Yan Yuxi. “If he’s gone, he’s gone. You don’t need to announce it so solemnly.”

She paused for a moment. “You siblings, no matter who it is, Cheng Pei, Qiao Ya, or the four of you, if you find someone with whom you share a deep connection, bring them back for your mom and me to see. As long as they are not insincere to you, our family will not care about family background.”

Yan Aohan stated his attitude clearly because it was unavoidable. Given their family’s situation, expecting a match of equal social standing was practically impossible.

Zhu Yanyi also spoke seriously from the side. “Your father is right. As long as you truly love each other, we will not demand a match of equal status.”

Yan Yuxi smiled. “Mom, Dad, rest assured. If such a person exists, I will definitely bring them back to show you first.”

Yan Xizhong also said seriously, “Yes, Mom, Dad, don’t worry about us. If we find such a person, we won’t hide it from you.” He finished by making a funny face at Yan Yuxi.

Yan Yuxi raised an eyebrow, looking innocent.

Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly. “Alright, just keep it in mind.”

Since Zhu Yanyi had become a god, her bloodline had changed. Thus, Yan Yuxi was now a daughter of a god. Yan Xizhong had also received a drop of essence blood from both Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi, transforming her into their true child, a son of a god.

Naturally, Zhu Shunyao and Xie Xinlian, who had once nurtured Zhu Yanyi, also saw their status rise. However, their identity would not be revealed casually. Few in the Underworld knew the truth that Zhu Shunyao and her wife were Zhu Yanyi’s parents.

The Black Emperor and Empress, along with the Immortal Emperor and Empress, came to the Underworld together. Looking at the development of the Underworld, the Black Emperor was deeply impressed. “I really think your construction of the Underworld is excellent. If I had known earlier, we should have done the same in the Divine Realm.”

The Empress looked around and said, “This is good. Since it is so, we can change things in the Divine Realm when we return.”

The Immortal Emperor said, “Emperor Yan, Empress Yan, why didn’t you tell us about such good construction plans? My Immortal Realm can also be improved.”

Yan Aohan replied calmly, “You achieved the title of Emperor earlier than me. You have also experienced the mortal world. Why do you need me to teach you how to do things?”

The Black Emperor and the Immortal Emperor looked at each other and decided in their hearts that they must develop their own Divine and Immortal Realms well upon returning.

The Immortal Empress smiled at Zhu Yanyi. “What are your thoughts after becoming a Divine Sovereign?”

“No particular thoughts,” Zhu Yanyi shrugged slightly. “I was vague and confused, and then I just became a god.”

“You are blessed but unaware of it,” the Empress scolded playfully. “You cultivate the heart, so your promotion was not as difficult as ours. Even when transforming into a god, you did not face the same power struggles. So, you are truly blessed but unaware.”

Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi shrugged slightly. “I didn’t think so much. Anyway, I feel that the only sensation after becoming a god is that my whole body feels much lighter.” She added, “Of course, becoming an immortal also felt light, but becoming a god seems to bring more freedom.”

“Yes, the existence of gods is meant to be looked up to. Therefore, they naturally possess their own destiny. Freedom is the greatest gain of a god,” the Empress nodded slightly.

Yan Aohan said, “Alright, let us celebrate properly ourselves. Leave the outside matters to my son.”

The existence of the Black Emperor and others was legendary, so ordinary people could not see them. They would not interfere in trivial matters, nor would they mingle casually with others.

Yan Xizhong had considered this, so he specially opened a private room behind the Yan Palace for the Black Emperor and others to celebrate separately.

“To be honest, Emperor Yan, how did you think of governing the Underworld like the mortal world?” the Black Emperor asked curiously, looking at the buildings outside through the window.

Yan Aohan scooped a bowl of bird’s nest porridge for Zhu Yanyi and called out, “Come and eat something.” She then said, “We all came from the mortal world. Although mortal lives are shorter, it is undeniable that they are very smart. Their imagination is definitely much greater than ours.”

Yan Aohan’s words naturally received the approval of the Black Emperor and the Immortal Emperor. They originally came from the mortal world as well, but they had not thought to apply mortal construction methods.
