I am raising mythical beasts in the world of immortality

Shi Jinning returned to the Immortal Realm and her memories were fully unlocked. Every little detail and scene from her childhood resonated in her mind.

Lan Yi, known as the Living Yama, was the ruler of the four directions of the Immortal Realm. Hearing that his two children were returning, he waited at the gate of his mansion to welcome them.

The moment the father and daughter met, their eyes welled up with tears.

Shi Jinning was cherished by Lan Yi even when she was still in her mother's womb, and after she was born, she was held in the palm of his hand. Since they were forced to separate, Lan Yi has been ill from missing her for years, and not only has his hair turned gray, but his health has also deteriorated.

"Are you really my Xi'er?"

Even now, Lan Yi still feels like she's dreaming. The little girl who used to sit on her lap and act spoiled has now grown into a stunning beauty. Her appearance is exactly like her mother's, and she has even surpassed her mother in beauty.

“Father, it’s me, it really is me, I am your Xi’er! And this is your son and… your grandson…”

Shi Jinning was worried that her father wouldn't be able to accept it right away, so she spoke in a much softer tone.

"Father... I have never seen my father since I was born, so I was a little unfamiliar with him. Apart from this somewhat stiff address, I didn't say anything else."

Lan Yi nodded, overjoyed to see his son had grown up so much, but also felt guilty for never having fulfilled his responsibilities as a father. Caught between these conflicting emotions, he didn't know how to face the situation and could only temporarily avoid eye contact.

"I already have a grandson, let grandpa hold him."

"Grandpa." Yan Nianfeng wasn't shy at all, grinning as he called out "Grandpa," and even curiously tugged at his long beard.

Although Yan Jiuyou had placed a seal on Yan Nianfeng's body, making it difficult to detect anything special about him, Lan Yi still noticed something amiss when he got close to him. However, Lan Yi did not show any unusual expression on his face and treated him completely as an ordinary child.

"Xi'er, come home with your father and tell me what has happened over the years."

Shi Jinning and Bei Mingwang chatted for a whole day and night without feeling tired at all, and they didn't even realize how quickly time had passed.

"Xi'er, your name should be changed back. How can my precious daughter, Lan Yi's daughter, have someone else's surname? However, if you like the name Jin Ning, you can continue to call her that as a nickname."

Shi Jinning nodded. From this day forward, her formal name would be Lan Ruoxi, and her nickname would be Lan Jin'er, because Yan Jiuyou liked to call her by this name. This was also to remember the original owner, since she had taken over this body.

The news of Lan Yi's daughter, who had been missing for many years, returning home quickly spread, and many people came to congratulate her. The homecoming banquet was scheduled to be held two days later.

In a magnificent palace, a middle-aged man stood with his back to him, and behind him stood a young man. This was the famous King Xiao Yu of the Southern Kingdom and his son Xiao Mingjue.

"Jue'er, Lan Ruoxi is back."

Upon hearing this name, Xiao Mingjue's entire body trembled slightly, followed by a surge of joy: "Ruoxi is back! Father, is what you said true?"

He could hardly believe it. There had been so many people impersonating Lan Ruoxi over the years. They all wanted to use this identity to enter the royal palace, either to assassinate or to become the apple of the eye of the Northern Underworld King. In short, they all had their own purposes.

"This time it should be true. The King of the Northern Underworld is preparing a welcoming banquet in two days. You two have been betrothed since childhood, so it's time to finalize the matter."

“Father is right. I have been fond of Ruoxi since I was a child, and I have never stopped inquiring about her over the years. I just don’t know what she looks like now.”

Xiao Mingjue was eager to see Lan Ruoxi, but the Underworld Palace had already issued an order not to receive guests for the next two days. He needed to spend time with his daughter, so he could only wait until two days later.

At the same time, King Dongchi also received the invitation to the banquet. He was sitting on his throne, his mind full of calculations.

"Now that we've found her, let's find a way to make her a member of the Dugu family. Then, not only will she have the Phoenix Blood, but she'll also have the throne of the head of the Four Kings."

The Northern Underworld King still doesn't know that Lan Ruoxi's attack back then was actually related to the Eastern Red King, Dugu Chi. Many of the men in black were his people, all for the sake of obtaining the phoenix blood in Lan Ruoxi's body. Unfortunately, they were rescued by Yan Jiuyou halfway, and the plan failed completely. This time, he is determined to get it.

Lan Ruoxi had no idea that so many people were eyeing her as soon as she returned. However, she was no longer the helpless child she had been when she was little.

The King of the North Sea was helping Yan Nianfeng select treasures when the steward came to report that someone was looking for Lan Ruoxi.

"Didn't I say I wouldn't see anyone these past two days?"

The butler looked at Lan Ruoxi and tentatively asked, "Miss, he said his name is Yu Haoyang. Do you want to see him?"

"Yu Haoyang? How many of them are there?" Lan Ruoxi asked nervously.

"Two of them, and a child with them."

Lan Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that it wasn't Yan Jiuyou. She didn't know how to face him after that sword strike, so she decided to ask Yu Haoyang about the situation first.

"Third Brother, come with me to greet them."

"it is good."

After the two left, the Northern Underworld King looked at Yan Nianfeng and asked, "Little Feng, who is Yu Haoyang? Is he your father?"

The King of the North Sea asked several times who Yan Nianfeng's father was, but Lan Ruoxi didn't say. She only told him that the man was her master, a very ordinary person. Now that he had made Yan Nianfeng happy, he was thinking of getting some information out of him.

"Uncle Haoyang isn't my dad. My dad is a very famous person..."

Yan Nianfeng stopped mid-sentence, his words tinged with excitement. Yan Jiuyou had told him not to reveal his identity to anyone.

Who is your father?

The King of the North Sea continued to press for answers, becoming increasingly anxious upon hearing that he had only spoken halfway through his sentence.

"Ninth Brother forbids me to say."

"And who is this Ninth Brother?" Upon hearing this suddenly appearing name, the Northern Underworld King was even more confused.

“Ninth Brother is like Father!” Yan Nianfeng laughed as he jumped off Bei Mingwang’s lap and ran towards the door. “Uncle Haoyang, you’ve finally arrived.”

Yu Haoyang picked up Yan Nianfeng in one scoop. His handsome face even made the King of the Underworld tremble. Coupled with his unfathomable cultivation, he was simply perfect. It was just a pity that he was not his son-in-law.

"did you miss me?"

Yan Nianfeng nodded, then looked behind him. He didn't seem to see the person he wanted to meet, and asked with some disappointment, "Uncle Haoyang, where is my father? Why didn't he come with you?"

Yan Nianfeng was unaware of Yan Jiuyou's injury, but he had clearly sensed something in the past few days: "Brother Zichu, tell me, has something happened to my father?"

"My godfather... has some things to take care of, he'll come over later."

"You're not allowed to lie to me, or I won't acknowledge you as my brother anymore."

Yan Zichu was quite helpless. Although he had managed to fool Yan Nianfeng today, he would definitely have to put in a lot of effort to appease him in the future.
