Half a month later.

After leaving the ancient realm, Hun Ruoruo and her companion enjoyed a rare period of leisure.

Because the Heavenly Tomb was stolen, the clan elders, already weakened, were too busy to care for themselves and naturally wouldn't dare to cause trouble for the Soul Clan at this time.

Without the support of the ancient clans, the Medicine Clan, which had been the most vocal in their arrogance, also restrained itself. They didn't even pursue the deaths of Yao Xingji and the others, nor did they investigate the theft of the Nine Nether Wind Flame. As if waiting for some opportunity, they retreated back to their clan and disappeared without a trace.
After a while, the sense of urgency that had been brewing actually eased.

Of course, Hun Ruoruo had no interest in these petty tricks. She casually handed the work over to Hun Yu Moyu and the others, and began to enjoy the rare peace and quiet.

"Master, I'm going out!"

Pushing open the wooden door to the courtyard, a cheerful figure leaped out lightly, waving her little hand playfully inside.

Upon hearing this, the old apothecary came out of the house. His gaze swept over the wooden box the girl was carrying, and he immediately showed a speechless expression, chuckling, "Going to find that brat again?"

"Hee hee~"

Hun Ruoruo stuck out her tongue, not refuting, and clenched her little fist, saying, "He is Ruoruo's own senior brother. Others have wives and daughters to take care of them, so of course senior brother can't fall behind."

The old doctor shook his head: "That kid's injuries haven't healed yet, and he can't even muster much of his fighting spirit. I really don't know what good it would do you to send him to that godforsaken place where the Soul Realm meets the Heavenly Tomb."

“My senior brother is physically weak and urgently needs exercise. It just so happens that Senior Xiao Xuan needs a lot of manpower to help maintain the stability of the Heavenly Tomb space, so Ruoruo can sign up for him.”

Hun Ruoruo chuckled and replied with a mischievous smile: "Besides, with Senior Brother here, not only can we keep those people at ease, but we can also save our Hun Clan the cost of a contractor's salary. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"

The old doctor was both amused and exasperated, and scolded, "You little brat, do you think your senior brother is some kind of ox plowing the field?!"

It turns out that ever since the Heavenly Tomb and the Soul Realm came into contact, the void between the two has often been cracked due to compression, which has caused natural disasters similar to spatial turbulence.

Although this natural disaster is not particularly difficult to deal with, Xiao Xuan's current strength is clearly not enough to leave the Heavenly Tomb, so he can only rely on external help.

This is precisely why the unbelievable thing that happened was that the young master of the Xiao clan was sent to the frontier as a laborer by the young master of the Soul clan.

"Very well. As far as I know, that kid is extremely popular among the Soul Clan. Even some ancient figures with terrifying seniority are scrambling to meet him."

At this point, the old apothecary sighed helplessly and said, "It might be a good thing if we temporarily keep him from bordering the Soul Clan."

"Okay!"

Hun Ruoruo raised her arms and cheered.

Just as she was about to leave, she seemed to remember something, suddenly reached into her pocket, took out a token that was flashing with a crackling light, and placed it in the old apothecary's palm with a grin.

"I'd also like to ask you to do this, Master."

After saying those words, the girl's figure flickered and disappeared in a flash, leaving only the astonished old man of medicine standing there all alone.

"This girl"

After an unknown amount of time, the old doctor shook his head and chuckled, "As long as that kid is by my side, he's always as lively as ever, no matter what."

With these thoughts in mind, the old apothecary softened his expression, put the token into his sleeve, and then walked into the courtyard, knocking on the slightly ancient moss-covered wooden door.

He knew that his concerns were unnecessary.

Regardless of changing circumstances or the passage of time.

Only one person could change the girl.

Outside the Soul Realm, in the Void Ruins.

As the border between the Soul Realm and the Heavenly Tomb, all those who come here to repair the space are Dou Zun-level powerhouses.

However, at this moment, these beings, who would be considered overlords in the Central Plains, erupted in a gasp of astonishment and awe—

"Young Master, it's Young Master!"

"Heavens! The young master has come to deliver food to the consort again. Isn't she known as the most ruthless and desireless person in our Soul Clan?"

"Hehe, what do you know? The Demon Rain Celestial Venerable said that this is called sustainable development. If the young master had not taken such good care of the consort, how could she have absorbed the essence of the Xiao clan every night to improve her strength?"

"Hiss—no wonder the prince consort was so weak, so that's why. Young master is indeed ruthless!"

"I also wish to absorb the essence of the Xiao clan."

Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, Xiao Yan, who had been frantically digging at the ground, clenched his fists tightly and glared at the smiling girl walking towards him.

"Witch! What are you doing here?!"

Covered in mud, Xiao Yan threw the hoe in his hand to the ground and roared in almost indignant grief, "You threw me into this godforsaken place without paying me a penny, and you call it training? Are you trying to murder your husband?"

"Senior brother, what do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Hun Ruoruo quickly covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise, "The contract is written in black and white, and you personally pressed your fingerprint on it. How come you are now blaming Ruoruo?"

"You still have the nerve to say that? It was clearly you who secretly pressed your fingerprint on me while I was asleep, and then sent a bunch of masked guys to tie me up first thing this morning!"

Recalling the tragic scene from back then, even with Xiao Yan's current composure, he couldn't help but want to strip this vixen naked and give her a good spanking.

No wonder she asked to sleep in the same bed with me.
No wonder she changed her address, calling him "husband" all the time.
That vixen, she really has no good intentions!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan felt utterly exhausted, realizing that he would probably never see her as a virtuous wife and loving mother in his lifetime.

"How are we going to explain this to Dad?" Hearing Xiao Yan's weak and listless words, Hun Ruoruo's smile faltered slightly, and she blinked: "Dad?"

"Ok?"

Xiao Yan raised his head, a hint of doubt on his face: "Don't you know? My Xiao family is moving to the Heavenly Tomb."

"The Xiao family...moved to the Heavenly Tomb?"

Hun Ruoruo was taken aback at first, then her pretty face became incredibly interesting.

Indeed, since returning to the Soul Realm, she had already delegated all tasks to Mo Yu and Hun Yu, and had no knowledge of the outside world whatsoever.

But isn't the speed at which this information is changing a bit too fast?

If the Xiao family moves to the Heavenly Tomb, wouldn't they truly become neighbors and in-laws with the Soul Clan?!

"This is my intention."

Just as Hun Ruoruo was extremely surprised, an illusory figure slowly emerged from the gate of the Heavenly Tomb, and then condensed into the appearance of a man in a blue robe.

"Greetings, Clan Chief Xiao Xuan!"

"Greetings, Ancestor!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, the previously noisy crowd suddenly stood up straight as if they had been injected with adrenaline, and bowed in unison towards Xiao Xuan.

Clearly, for the Soul Clan, this former rival held an unimaginably high status.

"I have met Senior Xiao Xuan."

Hun Ruoruo's face stiffened slightly, and she managed to force a smile.

"Oh?"

Xiao Xuan glanced at him sideways and said meaningfully, "Still calling me senior?"

This old man really does remember what happened at the Heavenly Tomb!
With a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth, Hun Ruoruo gripped the hem of her skirt and, imitating Xiao Yan, bowed respectfully: "Junior Hun Ruoruo greets Ancestor."

Seeing this, Xiao Xuan nodded in satisfaction, his smile almost overflowing. Just as he was about to speak, he seemed to have touched some kind of injury and gasped.

"That old bastard, his clone couldn't beat me, so he actually called out his true self. He's shameless!" Xiao Xuan cursed under his breath, grimacing.

"Ancestor?"

Seeing Xiao Xuan cursing at thin air, Hun Ruoruo and the other two couldn't help but wonder.

In this celestial tomb, is there anyone who could possibly injure the other party?
"Cough cough, it's alright, it's alright."

Xiao Xuan cleared his throat, then his expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "I now have a certain understanding of the Xiao family's situation. At this stage, the only suitable place for them to live is the Heavenly Tomb."

Upon hearing this, both Hun Ruoruo and the other person's eyes narrowed slightly.

Admittedly, given the ancient clans' penchant for saving face, they might indeed refrain from taking action against the Xiao family.

But they can't gamble.

Not only the Ancient Clan, but also other clans that are not obviously hostile to the Xiao Clan, such as the Flame Clan, the Thunder Clan, and even the Soul Clan, which is in an alliance, have to be wary.

Weakness is the original sin.

Even if the Soul Clan values ​​Xiao Yan highly, and even if Hun Ruoruo has a close relationship with Xiao Yan, he is ultimately just Xiao Yan.

As for the others, they obviously did not have this honor.

Xiao Xuan said calmly, "As the current master of the Heavenly Tomb, although I cannot influence the outside world, I can at least exert some peak-level strength within the Heavenly Tomb. Protecting the Xiao family's growth should not be difficult."

In the past, Xiao Xuan had even surpassed the limits of Dou Sheng and almost stepped into the threshold of Dou Di. Even if it was only a part of his peak strength, it was enough to rival a peak powerhouse at the nine-star Dou Sheng level. It was obviously reassuring enough for people to hear him say this.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan scratched his head and finally said with some helplessness, "That's true, but my father and the others are used to living in the Jia Ma Empire. I'm afraid they might not really be willing to come to Zhongzhou. At least I might not be able to persuade them."

Xiao Xuan's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a half-smile, "Although you can't persuade him, isn't there someone right in front of you who can?"

"Before my eyes...?"

The sudden words startled Xiao Yan. He glanced around before his gaze finally settled on the slightly bewildered girl beside him, his eyes widening in surprise: "You mean—"

"Hehe, Xiao family daughter-in-law, Xiao family kin."

Xiao Xuan stroked his beard and said with an enigmatic smile, "With Ruoruo around, her words probably carry more weight than mine, her ancestor."

"what?"

Hun Ruoruo's starry eyes widened in disbelief; she never imagined that she would be the one to witness this drama.

Should we make her run off to appease her father-in-law?
What a joke!!!!
