After transmigrating, I made a name for myself through my culinary skills.

Upon reaching the foot of the snow-capped mountain, a long staircase appeared before us. Looking up, the staircase stretched upwards until it disappeared into the clouds.

As soon as Ye Lan took her first step onto the stairs, she felt a change within her body. All the spiritual energy within her dissipated, and her body returned to the state of an ordinary person.

Previously, I had spiritual power, and my steps were light when I walked. Now I can feel the effects of gravity again, and every step really consumes my physical strength.

The higher you go, the steeper the mountain becomes.

Ye Lan used both hands and feet to hold onto the iron chain beside him to prevent himself from falling. Xiao Bai kept an eye on the outside world from inside the space, making sure that he could save him as soon as possible if an accident occurred.

He was also protected by a wisp of Ye Chen's divine consciousness.

Ye Chen stood at the very top of the Heavenly Staircase, quietly waiting for Ye Lan to step into the barrier herself.

Three hours had passed, and Ye Lan had only covered less than half the distance. He stopped on the steps and looked back down. At this height, if he were not careful, he would be smashed to pieces.

His legs felt a little weak—from exhaustion.

He now frequently flies on his sword, so this height isn't frightening to him, and with Xiaobai by his side, he knows he won't be in any danger.

But he was completely exhausted and decided to rest.

With the space functioning normally, Ye Lan took out a water pouch and food to replenish her strength.

This was the first time Jiang Ning had stayed in the space for so long, and he became a little impatient. He had "played" with everything around him, except for one place he couldn't get close to, which he was now curiously circling around.

There was a crystal coffin there, containing Jiang Ning's body. Ye Lan was afraid that Jiang Ning, in his white bear beast form, might accidentally injure "herself" without restraint, so she isolated the crystal coffin.

The crystal coffin was given to Ye Chen, and it was protected by taboos, so ordinary people couldn't open it. But Ye Lan still felt it was better to be careful.

Seeing Jiang Ning staring at his body without moving, Ye Lan felt a pang of sadness. He put the water pouch back into his space and continued climbing. He wanted to hurry up and bring Jiang Ning back to life.

The higher Ye Lan went, the slower she became. When she was near the top, it felt like her feet weighed a ton, and even lifting her feet was difficult.

The snow-capped mountain was very cold, and he couldn't tell if the sweat on his forehead was mist or sweat. His body was numb, and his mind kept recalling how good Jiang Ning had been to him in the past, which motivated him to climb higher.

His palms were wrapped in white cloth, but they were still chafed by the iron chains, revealing traces of blood.

It took Ye Lan a full twelve hours to reach the top. Passing through the clouds, he saw the fairy island at the top, standing side by side with the floating clouds.

Ye Lan stood atop the snow-capped mountain. The stone steps continued upwards, but each step appeared to be suspended in mid-air, making it look even more terrifying.

The stone steps lead all the way to the fairy island at the top.

Without pausing, he continued upwards in one go.

As Ye Lan stepped onto the last stone step, she felt her body pass through a soft barrier, and a warm, gentle breeze washed over her.

finally reached.

Ye Lan suddenly relaxed and collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

Ye Chen had been waiting for a long time. Before Ye Lan fell, he reached out to help him, helped him sit down to the side, and when he saw that Ye Lan had an injury on his hand, he took out some medicine to heal him first.

Ye Lan was breathing heavily. His body was recovering rapidly after taking the pill given to him by Ye Chen. He looked around and saw that there was another person standing next to Ye Chen.

From the very beginning, the man's gaze never left him.

The man looked to be around twenty years old. When he saw Ye Lan looking at him, he didn't avoid her gaze and stared at her openly with some curiosity in his eyes.

Before long, Ye Lan fully recovered. He stood up and straightened his clothes, trying to make himself look presentable.

Seeing this, Ye Chen cast a spell on him, turning him back into a clean and tidy appearance.

Seeing that he had regained his aloof and noble appearance, Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction. Even if he hadn't grown up in the God Clan, Ye Lan was still just as good as the other God Clan members.

As for the identities of the others, Ye Chen didn't introduce them at all, but Ye Lan could tell that he treated them with great respect, and that their power must be above his.

With the idea of ​​saying less to avoid making mistakes, Ye Chen didn't bring it up, and Ye Lan didn't ask who the person was either. When they left, the person didn't follow them.

This fairy island is surrounded by spiritual energy, and rare spiritual plants can be seen everywhere along the way. They grow freely here like wild grass, creating a kind of beauty that is orderly in chaos.

Ye Chen led him toward a palace. Along the way, they encountered other members of the divine race. Ye Lan, remembering what they had said before, asked if he needed to hide.

But Ye Chen said no.

The people of the God Clan are all exquisitely beautiful, regardless of gender. When Ye Lan passed by them face to face, she always felt that their gazes towards her carried a hint of affection.

After walking for nearly ten minutes, the two finally arrived at the palace gate.

Several guards were standing guard outside the door. If Ye Lan could use her spiritual power at this moment, she would definitely find that they had no signs of life.

Inside the palace, maids were tending to the flowers and plants. When Ye Chen returned, they bowed to him respectfully.

Ye Chen led him to a courtyard where a huge fringe tree was planted. It was April, the season for fringe trees to bloom, and the treetop was covered with flowers like snow.

There was a table under the tassel, and four people were sitting around the table: two men and two women.

The woman standing opposite them immediately stood up when she saw someone enter, her expression slightly agitated.

Seeing this, the other three also turned their heads and stood up together when they saw Ye Lan.

Ye Lan remained rooted to the spot, while Ye Chen bowed to the two men and said, "Master, Madam, I have brought the young master back."

The man in the dark black brocade robe nodded and replied to Ye Chen, "Thank you for your hard work."

The first woman to stand up walked to Ye Lan's side. She was dressed in white, with a young and beautiful face, like a celestial being. When her gaze met Ye Lan's face, the affection in her eyes was almost overflowing.

Ye Lan remained silent, letting her watch, but his hands clenched into fists slightly, as if he were somewhat nervous.

After a long pause, she said softly, "She looks just like Tong'er."

Ye Lan, unaware of her identity, subconsciously glanced at Ye Chen and secretly gave him a look.

Having spent several months together, Ye Chen immediately understood the meaning behind his gaze.

Ye Chen bowed to the woman and called her "Madam Dongfang." Ye Lan immediately realized that she was his maternal grandmother, but he couldn't bring himself to say it and felt a little awkward.

Another woman in purple stood beside her and introduced her to Ye Lan: "I am your grandmother, she is your maternal grandmother, and the two behind her are your grandfather and maternal grandfather."

Ye Lan finally made up her mind, bowed to them, and called them by all their names.

He didn't immediately accept these relatives in his heart, but he would need their help to save Jiang Ning in the future. He thought that since he would need their help, it would be easier to build a good relationship with them now.

There were no tearful reunions or emotional outbursts. Given their high positions and long lifespans, they all managed to control their emotions very well.

When she heard Ye Lan call her "grandmother," tears welled up in the white-clad woman's eyes, but they quickly disappeared.

The woman in purple led him to a table where there was an extra empty seat. Several kinds of pastries were placed in front of the seat, as if she had prepared them specially knowing that he would come.
