"Really? You can do it like that?" Wang Xinyao's eyes lit up, and she gently shook her skirt with both hands.

Seeing her so excited, Zhao Haoxuan couldn't help but reach out and ruffle her hair, laughing loudly:

"It is true! All the laws of the world are established by the 'Way of Heaven'."

Although my father and I are the highest guardians of this law, we can only abide by the rules.

But you're different. You're a successor of the 'Heavenly Dao.' Once you've thoroughly grasped the power of all the laws, won't this little thing be a piece of cake?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xinyao's smile faded slightly.

"My understanding of the power of laws is not yet comprehensive; there are many areas where I only have a superficial understanding."

She sighed, hanging her head, and said, "If it weren't for your help, Father Emperor's help, and Yama's help, I wouldn't have been able to seal 'Scorpio' at all."

Chen Qingfeng knew that this girl was getting stuck on something again, so he quickly waved his hand to interrupt her thoughts.

"Yao'er, let's talk about this later. Let's go find your mother and your brother."

After they finished speaking, the three of them walked side by side toward the main hall of the palace.

But before they had taken more than a few steps, they heard a series of hurried footsteps coming from afar, accompanied by a loud and forceful scolding.

"Who dares to bully my little grandson!"

Wang Xinyao and the other two looked up at the sound and saw Empress Dowager Wang Muyun and Emperor Chen Jingyuan, with the two adorable children and a group of sword-wielding guards behind them, hurrying towards them.

But when Wang Muyun saw the person's face clearly, he was frozen in place as if he had been frozen in place.

"Yao'er? Haoxuan... is it you? You're back?" Her voice trembled.

Wang Xinyao and Zhao Haoxuan quickly followed suit, bowing and saying in unison, "Greetings, Mother Empress."

Wang Muyun nodded, then slowly shifted her gaze to Chen Qingfeng.

In an instant, an overwhelming joy and tender affection welled up in those eyes.

She choked back tears, almost whispering, "Brother Feng, you...you're finally back!"

Chen Qingfeng stared at the person he had been longing for day and night, his Adam's apple bobbing violently.

She remained as charming as ever. Although she pretended to be angry in front of her grandson, the gentleness in her eyes was unchanged.

"Yes...we're back." He strode forward and reached out to hold her hand tightly.

Wang Muyun's fingertips trembled slightly as she murmured over and over again, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"

Chen Jingyuan quickly bowed and greeted him, his voice filled with excitement.

"Father, sister, brother-in-law, you've finally returned! Mother and I have been looking forward to your return every day for the past few years."

The two children, Zhao Qingheng and Zhao Qingyue, were also stunned by what they saw.

Their eyes darted around, sizing up the few strangers who were also familiar.

Zhao Qingheng tugged at Chen Jingyuan's sleeve, tilted her head back, and asked:

"Uncle Emperor, are they... are they really my father, mother, and maternal grandfather?"

Zhao Qingyue threw herself into Wang Muyun's arms, shaking her arm, her little face full of joy:

"Grandmother, they really didn't lie to me! I really do have a father and a mother!"

Wang Muyun snapped out of her daze and quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

She knelt down, took the two children's little hands, and said softly:

"Heng'er, Yue'er, quickly, quickly pay your respects to your father, mother, and maternal grandfather. They are your closest relatives."

Zhao Qingheng and Zhao Qingyue exchanged a glance, then immediately knelt down obediently and called out in clear voices:

"Greetings to my maternal grandfather, and greetings to my father and mother!"

Upon hearing this call, Wang Xinyao's tears welled up instantly. Unable to hold back any longer, she quickly stepped forward and hugged the two children tightly in her arms.

"My darlings, you've suffered so much these past years. It's all my fault for not being able to be by your side." Her voice was choked with emotion.

Zhao Haoxuan stood to the side, watching his wife and children embrace, his eyes filled with tenderness.

He secretly vowed that he would never be separated from the two children again and that he would make it up to them.

Chen Jingyuan chuckled and joked, "Sister, brother-in-law, these two little ones are so sensible, smart and adorable. Everyone in the palace loves them."

"Thank you, Jingyuan." Wang Xinyao looked up, wiped away her tears, and looked at him gratefully. "With you protecting the children all these years, I'm really at ease."

The family entered the imperial study, sat together, and talked about their separation and longing.

The imperial kitchen had prepared a sumptuous feast, with delicacies from land and sea filling the entire table.

During the meal, candlelight flickered and the aroma of wine filled the air.

Wang Xinyao and Zhao Haoxuan chatted away, recounting their fascinating experiences, which captivated the children.

Chen Qingfeng then started talking, recounting his experiences on Earth, including skyscrapers, ID cards, and bank cards, which amazed everyone.

The two children clung to the table, their little heads pressed close together, their eyes sparkling with curiosity, their hearts filled with longing for the outside world.

Wang Muyun and Chen Jingyuan sat quietly to the side, their smiles never fading, their eyes filled with a soft glow of happiness.

Wang Xinyao seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to look at Chen Jingyuan: "By the way, Jingyuan, you're not young anymore, are you married yet?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingyuan's face flushed red.

He scratched his head and smiled somewhat sheepishly, "The country of Li sent a letter of credence a few days ago..."

They wanted to marry their eldest princess to me, but since my father and sister haven't returned, I felt something was missing, so I haven't agreed yet.

"Princess of Li Kingdom?" Wang Xinyao frowned, a question forming in her mind.

"That's not right. I remember when I was in Li Kingdom, their princesses were already married and had children."

Chen Jingyuan glanced at Chen Qingfeng, his tone carrying a hint of complaint.

"Sister, you don't know this, but the current emperor of Li Kingdom is the former crown prince, their retired emperor."

He followed the example of his father and the Emperor of Xia, and had long ago taken the Empress Dowager on a journey across the world.

The current eldest princess is the new emperor's daughter, seventeen years old, just the beginning of her blossoming youth.

"Oh, I see!" Wang Xinyao suddenly realized.

The image of the Crown Prince of Li Kingdom from back then instantly flashed into her mind.

That time, when Zhao Tian struck me into the sea, if it weren't for the golden pearl given to me by the Crown Prince of Li Kingdom, I probably would have drowned long ago.

Now that the other party has taken the initiative to arrange a marriage, showing great sincerity, it is indeed a good thing.

Wang Xinyao pondered for a moment, then asked, "Have you met this Princess of Li Kingdom? What is she like in terms of character and appearance?"

Chen Jingyuan nodded and recalled, "I saw it once on the battlefield between Li Kingdom and Yinlie Kingdom."

Last year, the Emperor of Liguo personally brought her to our Miao Kingdom.

She is indeed quite beautiful, with delicate features; people in Liguo say she looks like her aunt.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xinyao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Although she had never met the new princess, she had met Consort Li of the Xia Kingdom.

She was a stunning beauty, so this princess must be just as gorgeous.

Chen Qingfeng put down his wine glass and looked at Chen Jingyuan with a solemn expression.

"You've reached the age where you should get married. Now that we're back, you don't need to worry anymore."

Write back to Liguo and choose an auspicious day to hold the wedding.

"Once you're married, your mother and I will have to return to the Third Heaven. We've been away from the Immortal Realm for eight hundred years, and it's time to take care of things there."

"Yes, Father!" Upon hearing this, Chen Jingyuan immediately stood up and bowed. The slight hesitation in his heart vanished instantly, and his face was full of determination.
