"You're too kind, Immortal Venerable. This is my duty."

King Yama waved his hand and laughed, "Only when the human world gets better and better can my work in the underworld become easier."

After bidding farewell to Yama, the three did not linger. Wang Xinyao immediately used her mind to enter the ring space.

They walked up to the container in front of the pyramid and pressed the button that was emitting a faint glow.

"Buzz—" A strong suction suddenly came, and the time tunnel opened again.

The blinding light instantly enveloped the three of them.

In a dizzying rush, the three of them seemed to be swept into an endless vortex, with only the howling wind and each other's breathing in their ears.

After an unknown amount of time, a violent wave of dizziness struck, and Wang Xinyao's vision went black as she completely lost consciousness.

When she slowly opened her eyes, the sight that greeted her stunned her instantly—

The once nearly dried-up spring has now been refilled with crystal-clear water.

The spiritual energy was so dense that it condensed into mist, more abundant than ever before.

"This..." Wang Xinyao opened her mouth, her voice trembling. An indescribable warmth and hope melted in her heart, and her vision blurred instantly.

The sacred spring has been restored…

Does this mean that those terrible things are finally going to start to get better?

Chen Qingfeng and Zhao Haoxuan also slowly woke up one after another. They shook their dazed heads and their eyes were filled with joy when they saw the scene in front of them.

"Father, Haoxuan, we're back!" Wang Xinyao came to her senses and was so excited she almost jumped up, her eyes red with tears.

The fear and anxiety of these past few days finally found a place to settle down and quietly dissipated at this moment.

She missed her child so much.

Since leaving them to deal with the 'Scorpio' matter, she hasn't had a single good night's sleep.

She is such an incompetent mother.

"Yes, we're back!" Chen Qingfeng smiled, his eyes slightly reddening, and he murmured a name: "Mu Yun, I'm back."

Zhao Haoxuan then supported himself as he walked to the edge of the spring, slowly squatted down, and gently touched the surface of the water with his hand.

The cool spring water, carrying a vibrant spiritual energy, instantly spread throughout my body, bringing a long-lost sense of ease to my brow.

After resting for a while, the three of them left the ring space together.

The moment they stepped out of the space, the three of them froze—

This is the royal garden of the Miao Kingdom's palace.

The moment they appeared, two childish voices suddenly rang out.

"Are you... are you human or ghosts? Why are you suddenly here?"

The voice was soft and sweet, yet full of vigilance.

Yet it also exudes a seriousness befitting a little adult, which is incredibly endearing.

Wang Xinyao looked in the direction of the sound and saw two exquisitely beautiful children standing by a stone bench not far away.

The boy was handsome, and the girl was pretty; they both looked like porcelain dolls, unbelievably beautiful.

The palace maids and eunuchs around them were already terrified by the sudden appearance of these three people.

They collapsed to the ground, some dizzy, some trembling, none daring to utter a sound.

These two children, however, were surprisingly brave. Not only were they not afraid, but they even puffed out their little chests.

"Speak! Who are you? How dare you trespass into the forbidden area of ​​the palace! If you don't identify yourselves, I'll call the guards!"

The little girl raised her face, her eyebrows raised, and her hands on her hips. She looked just like a little adult.

The boy next to him was not to be outdone, his little brows furrowed tightly.

Using a serious tone like a little adult, he uttered some harsh words:

"Let me tell you, my grandmother and uncle are really fierce. If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for spanking you!"

Wang Xinyao's heart melted as she looked at the two adorable little ones.

She couldn't resist reaching out to pinch their chubby little cheeks.

But to everyone's surprise, the two little ones took a step back at the same time, their little faces full of vigilance, like two little kittens with their fur standing on end.

"What do you want to do?" the boy asked, his eyes wide, his childish voice a warning.

"Let me tell you, my maternal grandfather and father are incredibly powerful, don't even think about bullying us!"

The little girl nodded in agreement, her lips pouting high.

"Sister, although you are very beautiful, I have a mother. Only my mother and grandmother can pinch my cheeks! You are not allowed to touch them!"

Wang Xinyao's outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

Seeing the two little ones guarding him so closely, he was first stunned, then a strange thrill welled up in his heart, and his body began to tremble slightly with excitement.

"Father, look!" She turned sharply to look at Chen Qingfeng, her voice trembling.

Chen Qingfeng also came to his senses, carefully examining the two children's features, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"Yao'er, this... this could be your child? Look, this little girl... this little girl looks exactly like you when you were little!"

"Yes, Xinyao, look at that boy!"

Zhao Haoxuan pointed at the chubby-faced little boy and exclaimed in surprise, "This boy... looks a bit like me when I was a child!"

Before Wang Xinyao could reply, the boy had already puffed up his cheeks and raised his face with an arrogant expression: "Don't try to associate with me!"

“That’s right! We don’t know you at all!” the girl chimed in.

"We are the children of our father and mother. Our mother is a princess and doesn't look like you at all."

"You appeared out of nowhere! You're bad guys! You scared my men unconscious!"

"Father? Princess?" Wang Xinyao was completely dumbfounded.

what on earth is this kind of happenings?

The two children are clearly around six years old.

She looked at Chen Qingfeng and asked, "Father, we've been gone for less than a year, what exactly happened?"

"Yao'er, it might be due to the time tunnel. I remember when you first arrived in this small world..."

You are 28 years old on Earth, but you are only 17 years old here.

Our trip to Earth, followed by our visit to the Underworld, took up some time.

Chen Qingfeng laughed and said, "I'm afraid six years have passed here."

"Hmm, perhaps it's true what Father said." Wang Xinyao turned her head, her voice trembling as she asked, "Haoxuan, does that mean they really are our children?"

Looking into the children's unfamiliar and wary eyes, a pang of sorrow mixed with guilt gripped her heart.

"Yes, that should be it." Zhao Haoxuan nodded and reached out to hug the boy.

Wang Xinyao looked at the two little ones, who were still quite childish but trying to appear serious, and the softest part of her heart was deeply touched.

Almost instinctively, she reached out, longing to pull the girl into her arms, to confirm this warmth she had regained with her fingertips and embrace.

The little boy, however, quickly pulled the girl behind him and dragged her away, shouting, "Little sister, run! Don't let them fool us, let's go find Grandma!"

"Slow down, slow down, don't fall." Watching her child run further and further away, Wang Xinyao sighed helplessly and disappointedly.

"Sigh, if only there wasn't this time difference, I haven't even held them much yet, and they're already so big."

If I were to return to Earth to visit relatives in the future, I fear that the people before me would have grown up, aged, or perhaps even passed away.

“Xinyao, that’s easy. You cultivate the power of laws. When you reach a certain level, you can change the power of spacetime tunnels.” Zhao Haoxuan said with a heartfelt smile.
