New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

When all his thoughts gradually became clear, Li Xiangyi could no longer suppress his curiosity and blurted out, "Are Xiaoyanzi and Ertai going to get married soon? Are you planning to take me with you through time and space?"

"Ah? That's all you're asking?" Xiao Yan was stunned. She had thought that the other party would be curious about this mysterious world and the author who created it, and would ask more in-depth questions. However, unexpectedly, he mentioned Xiaoyanzi and Ertai so directly!

At this time, Li Xiangyi, who had been sitting, slowly stood up. He was tall and straight, with a handsome face, a pair of deep eyes as bright as stars, and a gentle and charming smile on his slightly raised mouth. If you look closely, you can find that his inky black hair has been quietly dotted with a few strands of white, as if the years have left a light mark on him. But these few white hairs did not reduce his charm, but made him more mature and experienced.

Li Xiangyi sighed softly, and said calmly: "Now, I am a man over fifty years old. Thinking back to the past, I was young and frivolous, unruly, and entered the world of martial arts at the age of fifteen. With my extraordinary talent and unremitting efforts, I soon became the number one person in the world, and no one could be compared with me at that time." At this point, a hint of imperceptible pride flashed in his eyes, but was soon replaced by a hint of loneliness.

"When I was seventeen, I founded the Sigu Sect, and the sect grew larger and larger. When I was twenty, I became the leader of the martial arts world, and from then on I commanded the heroes and was feared by all. During those years, I also created many peerless martial arts, such as Yangzhou Slow, Posa Step, Xiangyi Taijian, etc. Each one is a unique skill in the world." Recalling his past glorious achievements, a gratified smile appeared on Li Xiangyi's face.

"I remember one time, in order to win the favor of Miss Qiao, I deliberately waved a red silk sword in the sky above Yangzhou City. The scene was spectacular, and the people in the city flocked to the streets to watch. The streets were really deserted. Another time, I had a fierce battle with Dongfang Qingzhong, and finally defeated my opponent with the momentum of a dragon stepping on snow. I also picked 17 gorgeous plum blossoms and gave them to the 17 women in the Si Gumen..." Li Xiangyi talked about his past experiences incessantly, as if those past events were still vivid in his mind.

"In the thrilling battle with Di Feisheng in the East China Sea, I was unfortunately poisoned. This poison was extremely strong. Even though I tried every possible way to detoxify it, I could only accept the reality helplessly - I only had ten years left to live.

Since then, I have been living like a candle in the wind, barely surviving. The only belief that keeps me going is to find my long-lost senior brother... or more precisely, to find his body so that he can rest in peace. However, fate always likes to play tricks on people. After a long and arduous search, I realized that all this was just a carefully designed scam!

Just when I was discouraged and almost in despair, an accident brought me to a brand new world - the new Return of the Pearl World. Here, it seemed as if there was a mysterious power protecting me. Not only did I successfully get rid of the poison in my body, but even my long-lost martial arts skills were gradually restored.

So I settled down temporarily in this strange and wonderful place, and lived there for three years. During this time, I also celebrated my 37th birthday. Time flies, and sixteen years have passed in a blink of an eye. I think that the three-year-old child Xiaoyanzi has now grown into a 19-year-old girl, and it is time to get married.

Even though I am now over 50 years old and have become a 53-year-old middle-aged man, I have always been Xiaoyanzi's master and her most solid and reliable support. Seeing that Xiaoyanzi is about to enter the palace of marriage and start a new chapter in her life, as her master, how can I be absent from such an important moment? Therefore, no matter what, I will definitely go to the scene to personally witness her happiness and satisfaction.

At this point, Li Xiangyi couldn't help but smile, and a deep nostalgia flashed across his eyes. As for whether he was missing the past years that had gone through countless ups and downs, or missing the innocent and quirky little girl, perhaps even he himself couldn't tell clearly...

After hearing this, Ling Wanqi, Xiaoyan and Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh secretly. They were filled with emotion. Li Xiangyi's life was indeed full of legends, but it was also very distressing. Such a person made people have deep respect for him, and they couldn't help but feel pity for the hardships he had experienced.

At this time, Li Xiangyi finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and cast his eyes on the three women in front of him. His eyes, as deep as a pool of water, were still filled with a strong sense of doubt. He frowned slightly and asked softly, "By the way, why did you come here before? Such behavior is really a bit weird."

Hearing this, Xiaoxiao's face suddenly showed embarrassment. She laughed dryly at first, and then felt the angry glares from the other two sisters. However, she was in a dilemma and could only bite the bullet and answer: "Ahem... Well, it was actually a pure accident! We originally wanted to travel through time and space, but who knew that the positioning would be slightly off."

After a short pause, Xiaoxiao continued, "Besides, we have another purpose for coming here this time. We plan to invite Di Feisheng and Fang Duobing to go with us. If it is convenient for Grandma Cen, we sincerely hope that you can all go and witness Xiaoyanzi's happy moment. Oh, yes, I almost forgot to tell you that Huo Yuqi just got married not long ago!"

Li Xiangyi listened to the other party's words quietly, and before he knew it, his deep and bright eyes gradually filled with expectation. At this moment, what he cared most about was to be able to return to his hometown as soon as possible to see with his own eyes whether his lovely little apprentice was safe and sound.

When he heard that his step-sister's son, who was also his nephew, was getting married, Li Xiangyi's eyes were instantly filled with joy and happiness. He couldn't help but secretly sigh that time flies, and the once naive child has reached the age of getting married and starting a family in the blink of an eye.

"I came here this time just to meet Fang Duobing. Looking back, Fang Duobing married the princess sixteen years ago, and soon after they welcomed the fruit of their love - a healthy and lovely baby boy. Today, it happens to be the child's fifteenth birthday. Fang Duobing is very happy and specially invited heroes from all over the world to gather together and drink to celebrate this auspicious day." Li Xiangyi smiled and slowly recounted the past events.

Recalling the grand wedding sixteen years ago, Fang Duobing and the princess were in love and a perfect match. After the princess gave birth to a baby boy after many life-threatening experiences, Fang Duobing took great care of her and was deeply distressed. He even took the initiative to persuade the princess not to have any more children. Since then, the couple has treated the child as a treasure and doted on him. They held the child in their hands for fear of dropping it and held it in their mouths for fear of melting it.

"Really? In that case, we should definitely go and join in the fun." Ling Wanqi and the other two beside her smiled at each other, and they understood each other. After all, they all had a strong curiosity to find out: After these long sixteen years, what earth-shaking changes have taken place in the world?
