"But this has kept me busy, otherwise Dad should be home by now," Mo Sen said with a sigh.

“Furthermore, Your Highness, you have to cultivate and assist His Holiness the Pope in managing the entire Spirit Hall. You must be very busy on weekdays, which we understand,” Mo Sen said again.

"That's good. I'm glad you're all alright. So, where are you working now?" Duan Yufan said with relief.

"Well, I broke through to the Soul King level with the Xuan Tian Gong and took over my father's job as the patrol team leader. I'm just taking a break these past two days, so I'm at home. Otherwise, if I'm not busy, I'd come back to eat with my father sometimes," Mo Sen explained.

"Hmm, not bad, you've followed in your father's footsteps. Don't you have a sister-in-law yet?" Duan Yufan asked again.

"Yes, she's a teacher at the Spirit Hall's Spirit Academy branch, a primary school. She's just been too busy with the start of the semester, so she probably won't be back for lunch today." Mo Sen's face lit up with happiness when Duan Yufan mentioned his wife.

"That's a real shame. I won't get to see my sister-in-law. I imagine she must be a gentle and virtuous woman," Duan Yufan said, nodding.

“Yes, meeting her has always been the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me,” Mosen nodded, without any modesty.

"That would be great!"

"I'm back. I was a little busy today, so I'm a bit late." A voice came from outside the door.

"You're back. The dishes are all cooked. Could you get me two? We have two guests today," Aunt He's voice came from the kitchen.

"Guest! Who is it? Is it Sen'er's friend?" Morin asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Uncle Mo, it's been a long time." Duan Yufan also came out of the guest room and greeted Mo Linzhi.

"Uncle Mo, hello." Hu Liena greeted Duan Yufan politely in return.

"Xiao Fan! No, this subordinate greets His Highness the Holy Son and His Highness the Holy Maiden." Mo Lin immediately remembered Duan Yu Fan's identity and quickly said.

"Uncle Mo, don't be so formal. There's no one here now. Just call me Xiao Fan," Duan Yufan said helplessly, trying to stop him.

"Alright, Xiao Fan, you and the Holy Maiden sit down first. I'll bring up the food for your Aunt He. Please sit down." Mo Lin immediately invited.

Before long, the table was filled with nine dishes, all of which looked and smelled delicious.

"Aunt He, thank you for making so many delicious dishes again. Your cooking skills have improved even more," Duan Yufan praised.

"Haha! Eat more, even the Holy Maiden should eat."

"Yes, thank you, Aunt He."

"You're welcome. Eat slowly, don't choke."

As the five of them ate together, laughter gradually increased, and lunch finally ended after about an hour.

"I'm so full! Thank you for the meal, Aunt He," Duan Yufan said with a smile.

"If you like it, come over more often when you have time. Your Aunt He can't cook anything else, this is all she knows how to cook." Aunt He said happily when she heard the praise.

"Not at all. This family is so warm and harmonious because of Aunt He's silent dedication behind the scenes. Aunt He, you are the one who works the hardest to manage this family," Duan Yufan said with emotion.

"Xiao Fan is right. You've been supporting us all along, managing the work year after year while you're all alone at home," Mo Lin said to Aunt He with a hint of gratitude.

"Look at what you're saying, I'm almost ashamed," Aunt He said, somewhat touched.

"Aunt He, there's something I'd like to ask you for help with," Duan Yufan said slowly.

"Oh! Xiao Fan, what's wrong? Tell me," Aunt He said, somewhat surprised.

"It's like this, Nana is pregnant, about two months along. I'm worried that in four or five months, we roughnecks won't know anything about this, and we don't know what taboos there are. So I thought I'd ask Aunt He to come and take care of Nana then," Duan Yufan said, explaining Hu Liena's situation.

"Really? Congratulations! No problem. Aunt He has been a great help with this. I'll stay with you for a while." Aunt He agreed.

"Thank you, Aunt He."

"Thank you, Aunt He." Hu Liena said happily. After all, this was her first pregnancy, and she had no experience or knowledge of the taboos. As time went on, she didn't know what kind of accidents might happen.

"Haha, Xiao Fan, not bad, congratulations! This is a small matter, your Aunt He will handle it, don't worry." Mo Lin added.

"Uh-huh."

After talking for about an hour, Duan Yufan, Hu Liena, and Mo Lin came to the street. Mo Lin had to rush back to the West Palace to attend to some things, so Duan Yufan simply came out with them.

Chapter 227 Xie Yue and Yan revisit their old haunts

After Duan Yufan and Hu Liena left Mo Lin's house, it was already past 2 PM. They strolled along the way towards the Spirit Hall.

"Nana, I didn't tell you beforehand that I asked Aunt He to come and help. You don't mind, do you?" Duan Yufan said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Of course not, Xiao Fan. You've thought this through very well. I'm fine now, but in a few months, I'll definitely need someone with experience to help me. If something unexpected happens because of my negligence, I'll definitely be very upset and feel guilty," Hu Liena said intimately, holding Duan Yufan's arm. She clearly didn't care about the matter.

"Don't talk nonsense. What could possibly go wrong? Everything will go smoothly," Duan Yufan encouraged.

"Ah."

As time passed, the two walked hand in hand and soon arrived at the Spirit Hall's Spirit Plaza, where they encountered two more people.

"Nana, your brother and Yan are back. They must have obtained their seventh spirit rings." Duan Yufan and the other person saw Xie Yue and Yan.

After returning from the battle against the Holy Spirit Cult, they reached level 70 in a little over a month. Then, the two agreed to go to the Star Dou Forest to hunt for their own soul rings.

"After nearly a month, I finally obtained the 70,000-year spirit ring that suits me. Xie Yue, when we see Xiao Fan and Nana, let's tell them about heading to Death Valley." Yan stopped and said with some complicated feelings as he looked at the Spirit Hall that was right in front of him.

“Yes, I don’t know if our decision to go to Death Valley was right or wrong,” Yan said, stopping to reassure others.

"What are you two whispering about? Nana and I didn't sense you behind us," Duan Yufan and Hu Liena said, looking at the two men's backs.

"Brother, Yan, how's it going? Is the acquisition of the soul ring going smoothly?" Hu Liena asked with a smile.

"Who do we have here? It's you two. What brings you out shopping today?" Yan said, somewhat surprised.

"It's alright, I didn't encounter any major difficulties. It's just that it's a bit hard to find a suitable soul beast. It took me almost 60,000 years to find a soul beast that matches my martial soul. It's definitely not as good as you two freaks," Xie Yue added.

"Great! You two have also broken through to Soul Saint level. Keep it up!" Duan Yufan came up to the two of them and gave them a big hug.

"Haha, I'm still far ahead of you two," Xie Yue said helplessly.

"So, will you continue your secluded cultivation at the Spirit Hall?" Duan Yufan asked the two, noticing that they seemed preoccupied.

"Speaking of which, Yan and I came back intending to say goodbye to you all," Xie Yue said, nodding.

"Brother, Yan, where are you going?" Hu Liena asked quickly as she saw Xie Yue say this.

“Yes, if we stay in the Spirit Hall to cultivate in seclusion, we will reach the Title Douluo level in just a few years,” Duan Yufan added.

"That's what we say, but neither Xie Yue nor I are people who really like a stable life, so we've decided to go to Death Valley for training," Yan said.

“Yan is right. With our talent, we can reach the Title Douluo level by cultivating peacefully in the Spirit Hall, but we also believe that it will take at least ten years, which is not the life we ​​want,” Xie Yue nodded in agreement.

"Have you made a decision? I have a feeling that the route we took last time was less than a tenth of the way to Death Valley. Although you have reached the Soul Saint level, the journey ahead will definitely be extremely dangerous."

"Furthermore, once Nana and I become gods, we will naturally not abandon you. I think we can bring you to the God Realm together to receive the divine positions of other gods," Duan Yufan said to the two of them with a serious expression.

"Yes, brother, Yan, you shouldn't go." Hu Liena quickly followed up on Duan Yufan's words, anxiously advising him.

"It sounds tempting, but this isn't the mundane life Yan and I want. We want to fight for it ourselves. If we really can't hold on, we'll quit. We don't want to die," Xie Yue said with some determination.

“Yes, life is short, and if it’s too mundane, it will leave us with some regrets. Besides, I think Death Valley is so mysterious that it must be a test created by a god,” Yan said firmly.

"Alright, since you've both said so, I, your good brother, won't try to dissuade you anymore. It's just a pity that you'll be gone for a long time, and you might not even see my child born." Seeing the two men's determined eyes, Duan Yufan stopped trying to dissuade them.

"Child! Nana, are you pregnant?" Xie Yue was taken aback, then exclaimed with delight.

“Yes, we only found out yesterday. Why don’t we wait a while before going, and see your nephew or niece before we leave?” Hu Liena nodded in agreement, confirming that what Duan Yufan said was true.

"Great, what a wonderful surprise! You'll have to work even harder then. What if your child catches up with Yan and me? Wouldn't that make us feel incredibly ashamed? I believe your child's talent will definitely surpass ours," Xie Yue quickly congratulated the two.

"Haha, congratulations! Indeed, we need to work even harder," Yan said with a hearty laugh.

"Alright, brother, Yan, be careful in everything you do. If you really can't get through it, don't force yourself." Seeing this, Hu Liena stopped trying to dissuade them.

"Don't worry, with your encouragement and now that we have the status of your uncle, we won't be reckless," Xie Yue said with a smile.

"So, are you heading to Death Valley now?" Duan Yufan asked.

"Well, we originally planned to go straight to Death Valley after obtaining the Soul Ring, but we thought it would be better to tell you first. Now that we've met you outside, we should hurry and return as soon as possible," Yan nodded and said.

"Alright, take care, and remember we'll be waiting for you at the Spirit Hall," Duan Yufan said.

"Then let's buy some supplies and set off."

"Take care of yourself."

Xie Yue and Yan bid farewell to Duan Yufan and Hu Liena, then turned and disappeared at the street corner.

"Xiao Fan, I hope nothing's happened to my brother and the others," Hu Liena said worriedly, watching the two figures walk away.

"Don't worry, let them go out and explore. I believe they'll come back with a great harvest," Duan Yufan said, taking Hu Liena's hand to comfort her.

"Well, I hope it's true, as they suspect, that we can pass the gods' test," Hu Liena said, offering her blessings to the two of them.

"Let's go back to the courtyard and rest for a bit. It'll be almost time to cook." Duan Yufan and Hu Liena watched as Xie Yue and Yan disappeared from sight, then held hands and returned to the Spirit Hall.

Xie Yue and Yan purchased a large amount of supplies, enough for more than a year, with water resources being the most abundant. They then headed towards Death Valley around 4 PM.

Having embarked on their arduous training in the familiar territory of Death Canyon, the two slid down the rock face they had climbed up before, without retracing their steps from the entrance.

Chapter 228 Obtaining a Kind Heart

Duan Yufan, Hu Liena, and Bibi Dong spent three days in a lovey-dovey relationship. During these days, Duan Yufan completely forgot that he still had to go to the Good and Evil Space to obtain the seventh trial of the super artifact's recognition.

"Sigh, I really look forward to the day my child is born. I feel like time has slowed down now."

On the third day, after dinner, Duan Yufan and his two companions chatted idly in the courtyard.

"Don't worry, just don't be anxious. I just don't know when Xue'er will come out of seclusion. She'll definitely be very jealous when she sees us," Bibi Dong said.

"Yes, Xiao Fan, the ten months of pregnancy will pass quickly," Hu Liena said, somewhat amused and exasperated.

Ever since Duan Yufan learned that the two women were pregnant, he would touch their bellies every day and listen to the sounds inside them.

"I'm just so excited. I'm going to be a dad soon! I can't calm down whenever I think about it," Duan Yufan said happily.

"Alright, alright, our expectations are no less than yours, but this is something we can only wait for, we can't rush it," Bibi Dong said helplessly.

As Duan Yufan was chatting with the two, he suddenly heard a notification sound; it was a notification from the Kind God King.

"Please prepare, you are about to be transported to the Good and Evil Space for the seventh test."
