The lights in Yufu City remained lit the entire night. In the reception building of the Sheng clan, the guests listened to Sheng Xiao talk about their experience in the Great World. They cheered for the protagonist’s success and cried out for the injustice and humiliation he had suffered.
That night, all the cultivators on the Holy Spirit Continent had their emotions stirred by Sheng Xiao.
But soon, the sky lit up.
Seeing the morning sun shining into the courtyard outside the banquet hall, Lan Yao tidied her skirt with her hand and stood up. Then, she said to Sheng Xiao, who was silent, “It’s dawn. Xiao’er, you should set off now.”
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Sheng Xiao.
Sheng Xiao pressed the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth to suppress his reluctance. Then, he stood up and raised his wine glass to toast everyone present.
Holding the wine glass, Sheng Xiao said in a low voice, “Father, Mother, and all the seniors here, I still have a mission, so I can’t stay any longer. On behalf of all my friends who didn’t come back with me, I would like to toast everyone to thank you guys for your sacrifice back then!”
After Sheng Xiao raised his head and drank the wine, he poured another glass. Then, he stared at the young fellows sitting beside the seniors as he said, “This is a toast to all of you as well. It’s precisely because you guys protected the Holy Spirit Continent and the people of our hometown that we were able to cultivate in the Great World without distractions. Thank you!”
All the young cultivators raised their glasses and clinked them with Sheng Xiao’s.
Mo Yuelou said to Sheng Xiao on behalf of all the young cultivators, “We’re not as talented as you, but we love our hometown and are determined to protect it. Young Master Sheng, feel free to explore the Great World. We will protect our hometown with all our might!”
“We’ll also wait here for everyone to return and protect the Holy Spirit Continent together!” With that, Mo Yuelou finished the wine first. Xuanyuan Ming, Caro Xianle, and the others also drank the wine in their glasses.
Sheng Xiao nodded heavily before finishing the wine in his glass.
After putting down the wine glass, Sheng Xiao waved his right hand and a golden pillar of light appeared in the square of Yufu City. Everyone turned to look at the pillar of light in the distance, but they didn’t know what it was.
Sheng Xiao told them, “This is a Divine Decree I left on the Holy Spirit Continent. In an emergency, you only need to inject your spiritual energy into it to send a voice transmission to me. No matter where I am, I will rush back immediately.” This was also an important purpose for Sheng Xiao’s return to the Holy Spirit Continent.
Upon hearing this, everyone felt much more at ease.
At that moment, Sheng Lingfeng suddenly said, “I’ve said everything I need to say. Xiao’er, you should set off now.” He looked indifferent, as if he wasn’t reluctant to part with Sheng Xiao at all.
Sheng Xiao gave them a deep look before saying, “I’m leaving.” Then, he strode out, as if he wouldn’t be able to bear to leave if he walked too slowly.
When Sheng Xiao reached the door, a hoarse male voice suddenly sounded behind him. “Xiao’er!”
It was Sheng Lingfeng’s call.
Sheng Xiao stopped in his tracks, but didn’t dare to turn around. He heard Sheng Lingfeng remind him while sobbing, “Xiao’er, it’s dangerous out there, so you have to take good care of yourself.”
Sheng Xiao closed his eyes and hid the tears in them as he replied, “Yes.”
Sheng Xiao only stayed in Yufu City for one night before leaving. After he left, all the guests sat in the banquet hall in a daze. No one said anything about leaving.

Sheng Xiao still needed to go to the Feng family’s home on the Ice Domain Continent. On the way to the Ice Domain Continent, Eternal brought out a big box and placed it in front of Sheng Xiao.
Sheng Xiao stared at the exquisite box with a frown and asked, “What is this?”
Eternal said, “These are all things the Elven King asked me to pass to you and give to His Highness Donor. He said that they’re some local specialties.”
Sheng Xiao was speechless. No wonder even the box was so gorgeous and lavish. As expected of the Elve Clan, which pursued perfection.
“How fussy.” Despite his disdain, Sheng Xiao put all the things into his interspatial ring. Then, Eternal took out a large box and said, “This is what your mother asked me to pass to you. There are things she gave you and your wife, as well as things for the future children.”
Sheng Xiao felt dejected.
He opened the big box and saw some local delicacies from Yufu City, including dried cherry fruits. The rest was a pile of baby supplies that had been prepared overnight. There were baby toys and clothes, as well as two longevity locks made of pure gold. One had the words ‘Safe’ and the other had the words ‘Smooth’.
This was all from the children’s grandparents.
After Sheng Xiao put away the pile of things, he saw Eternal take out another pile of things.
Sheng Xiao rolled his eyes. “Who are these from?”
Eternal explained, “The Mo Clan prepared this for Her Highness Beatrice.”
“Alright.” After Sheng Xiao put them away, he thought that it was over, but he saw Eternal carrying out six to seven boxes.
He was speechless.
He was a Sky Dragon Divine Master, not a delivery man!
Sheng Xiao held his forehead and said tiredly, “Who are these for?”
“This is a gift prepared by the dean of the Divine Realm Academy for you and your friends.”
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiao froze.
He stared at the boxes and noticed that there were names written on each box. Yin Rong, Xiao Shu, Estelle, Donor, Sheng Xiao, Yu Huang, Feng Yuncheng, Beatrice…
Only Di Ruofeng prepared gifts for everyone. Even the Night Elf, Estelle, received one.
As expected of the benevolent dean.
Sheng Xiao suddenly said to Eternal, “Take the time to go to the demonic cave in the Light Sea. Go to the Night Elve Clan and find Estelle’s family.”
Eternal asked, “What for?”
Sheng Xiao handed a money bag containing spirit stones to Eternal and reminded him, “Find their village and hand the spirit stones to the old village chief. Estelle said that the old village chief is a loyal and benevolent old man, so he will treat Estelle’s siblings well. Also, take a photo of his siblings.”
Eternal held the money bag in silence for a long time before saying, “Master, you’ve become more…” Eternal thought for a moment before finding an accurate adjective.” More humane. ”
Sheng Xiao was stunned.
“I wasn’t humane before?”
Eternal knew that his words were insulting, so he hurriedly waved his hand and explained, “Master, don’t misunderstand. I mean that you understand people’s emotions better, unlike before, when you were always lofty and invincible.”
After thinking about it, Sheng Xiao felt that Eternal’s words made sense.
In his first life, he was born as a powerful and noble divine beast, Black Qing Sky Dragon. After becoming a Sky Dragon Divine Master, he was even more admired and respected, like a high and mighty god. Although he was a human, and although he was also selfless, he lacked the ability to empathize with others.
In his second life, he was the crown prince of the Sky Dragon Race. He was bullied by the Divine Feather Phoenix Clan and other than Jing Huang, he ignored everyone else.
In this life, as Sheng Xiao, he enjoyed kinship, friendship, and love.
In the past, he would never have secretly taken care of his friends and family.
