"Tian!" Liu Ying called out as she ran over to her son and hugged him directly. "I miss you so much!"
"Sorry, I just came out of seclusion and haven't seen you all this week." Xia Tian said apologetically as he hugged his mother back.
Liu Ying shook her head. "It's okay; your cultivation and training are more important right now, so you can pick up Tian Qilian as soon as possible."
"Yes." Xia Tian then let go of their embrace. "I've kept Qilian waiting too long, so after Shui Yan's wedding, we'll head straight to the Holy Central Continent to pick her up."
"All right." Liu Ying was also looking forward to meeting Tian Qilian, especially since she was pregnant with her first grandchild.
"Let's go in." Xia Tian hugged Liu Ying and Mo Xiaoqi by the waist, leading them into the Vermilion Capital Palace.
However, when they arrived at the palace front garden, all the women were already waiting for them there, except for Xiang Yin and Yu Suya, for they had to arrange the banquet after the transfer of authority from Zhu Yuhe to Shui Lihao.
Apart from them, Bai Zhongyu also came with his two daughters, Bai Yinyue and Bai Zhixian. They went through the teleportation formation between the Bai Kingdom and the Xia Residence.
Moreover, Bai Yinyue also brought Tang Qiu and Xiao Mei with her.
"Master." Tang Qiu immediately greeted Xia Tian with an excited smile.
Xia Tian patted her head gently. "How are you, Qiu'er? Are you used to living in this world now?"
"Yes." Tang Qiu nodded to him. "Ever since you guys left for the Oracle Realm, Mei'er has always accompanied me, and she has also taken me to various places in the Bai Kingdom so I don't feel lonely in this world."
"But you still miss your family, right?" Tang Qiu just nodded at him, and Xia Tian spoke again. "Before we go to the higher realms in the future, I will bring you to the Earth to meet them again. However, we can't return there for a long time after we go to the higher realms."
"Yes, I understand, master." Although she had never been to higher realms, Tang Qiu had heard Xia Tian's stories a lot in the past, so she understood that the distance between each realm was very far, and they would not be able to go back and forth freely, especially since their cultivation was still very weak.
Xia Tian then turned to Xiao Mei and teased her. "Did you miss me, Mei'er?"
"No!" Xiao Mei exclaimed with a shake of her head, and she hid behind Bai Yinyue, especially after she saw Xia Tian's strange smile, making them laugh at her reaction.
Bai Yinyue shook her head. "So you will go to the Holy Central Continent in two days, right?"
"Yes." Xia Tian nodded to her. "Aren't you and Zhixian coming with us?"
"I still can't leave the Bai Kingdom." Bai Yinyue replied with a shake of her head. "But Sister Zhixian will probably come with you guys later."
"Yes!" Bai Zhixian then turned to her father. "Father, it's fine if I go with them, right?"
"Tian is your future husband, so it's only natural that you go with him." Although Bai Zhongyu didn't want to part with his daughters, they would soon get married and eventually follow their husbands, so he couldn't help but have to let them go.
As for his third daughter, Bai Zhongyu knew precisely why he didn't want to accompany Xia Tian to the Holy Central Continent, and they had discussed it before.
"Hehe." Bai Zhixian chuckled and hugged her father's arm, and she said to Xia Tian. "Now that it's decided, I will accompany you and the others to the continent. Moreover, Eldest Sister Zhongying is also there, so I can meet her later."
"That's good." Xia Tian nodded in satisfaction, he also had no intention of forcing Bai Yinyue to come with them, and he intended to help her settle things in Bai Kingdom later. But for now, his main focus is Tian Qilian, he can't wait to meet the woman he doesn't know, yet she is already pregnant with his child.
*Tap... Tap...*
Xia Tian and the others turned toward the sound of the footsteps; they saw the Shui Sisters and Wang Yu walking toward them.
Wang Yu was dumbfounded when he saw Xia Tian's women, especially since there were so many of them, and his heart was filled with jealousy towards him. 'What the hell with this guy! How can he have so many women?'
When he thought that, Shui Yan sent a voice transmission to him. 'You better not stare at them, or Xia Tian will beat you head-on. Even though I don't know him very well, I know he cares deeply about his women, and he doesn't like it when other men stare at them.'
'I know.' Wang Yu replied with a nod, but he couldn't shake his curiosity for the women, especially Bai Yinyue, Shui Liuli, and Zhu Honglian, especially since three of them were princesses, but they were willing to share a man with so many women.
However, Wang Yu was still unaware of the news that awaited him. Not only he but all the people at the event would be shocked by the news they would hear after the event ended.
Unfortunately, Shui Yan warned him too late, Xia Tian had already noticed Wang Yu's behavior, but he still remained silent and muttered in his heart. 'You had better listen to the words of your future wife, or you will suffer the consequences if you even dare to think about wanting my woman.'
[Hehe. Don't you want to teach that guy a lesson, master?]
'No need. I won't do anything to that guy as long as he can control his behavior.' Xia Tian replied with a shake of the head; he then hugged and kissed Shui Liuli's lips before asking her. "Is he Shui Yan's future husband?"
"Yes." Shui Liuli nodded with a blushing face because Xia Tian kissed her lips in front of many people. "His name is Wang Yu, and he comes from an ordinary family."
"I see." Xia Tian nodded in understanding; he then turned to his women. "Let's go inside now; the event has almost started."
Xia Tian then turned to leave without paying any heed to Wang Yu and Shui Yan, Bai Zhongyu and those women immediately followed behind him.
Seeing him like that, Shui Yan sighed heavily in her heart. 'His observation is too sharp; he must have noticed Wang Yu's reaction just now.' "Let's go in too."
"Okay." Wang Yu nodded in agreement and followed him, but he was irritated in his heart that Xia Tian was ignoring him; he didn't even greet him at all. 'Tch! Just because he has so many women, his attitude is really arrogant!'

Beast Mountain Range
"Young miss!" He Shiyun called out as she landed in front of Tian Qilian, who was daydreaming alone, and she kept rubbing her stomach, which already looked so big because she was about to give birth in three weeks.
Tian Qilian came back to her senses and asked her. "What happened, Shiyun? Did those people come here?"
"Hehe. You don't need to worry about those people, Young Miss." He Shiyun replied as she gave a soft laugh and didn't worry about those people who were hunting Tian Qilian, especially since she knew that Fan Ying was protecting her, and she had also killed everyone who came stalking her.
Tian Qilian raised her eyebrows; she found it strange that those people had not found her after so long, but every time she asked He Shiyun, she would always tell her not to worry about them. "Then why did you come here?"
"Master told me that he will come here in two days to pick you up." He Shiyun explained with a smile.
Tian Qilian was stunned for a moment, but her expression seemed to become complicated, especially when she recalled the events of that night. Even though she was already pregnant with Xia Tian's child, but she didn't know him, and she didn't know how to face him later.
However, Tian Qilian suddenly frowned. "Why did he suddenly want to come here? If those people find him, then they will hunt him down. You'd better tell him to cancel his plans; I don't want him to fall into their hands."
He Shiyun smiled, amused at her words. She then spoke to reassure her. "Young miss! Master is no fool; he has prepared everything well, so your worry is too much! Moreover, his cultivation has already reached the 1st Stage Heaven Origin Realm, and he also has many secrets that no one other than his family knows about."
Tian Qilian sighed heavily after hearing that because He Shiyun knew Xia Tian far better than her. "I hope so; I don't want my child to lose a father before birth."
"Trust me, that's not going to happen." He Shiyun then sat beside her and spoke to her again. "I know that you don't know Master, but I hope you can learn to trust him, and I believe he won't let you down."
"En." Tian Qilian simply nodded at her and spoke to the child in her belly with a faint smile. "Did you hear that? Your father will come here soon to pick us up."
