Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter

Chapter 559 - 179: Fathers and Sons, Husbands and Wives Reunited; The Whole Family Enters Cloud Mountain (Long - )

Li Ping’an scoffed, "Sir, you are a powerhouse yourself, why are you pretending to be my deceased father?"

Li Yuan was satisfied with his son’s vigilance, so he spoke about many things only known between father and son, and also told him his purpose for appearing, revealing that Xue Ning wasn’t dead and was waiting for a family reunion at Cloud Mountain Path.

This big man, Li Ping’an, listened with reddened eyes, his mighty body trembling slightly, tears of excitement streaming down, while murmuring, "That’s great, that’s great."

Li Yuan continued, "Now that you have reached Fifth Grade Perfection, the path to the Fourth Grade can be achieved through experience. There’s no need to always stay in the Divine Wood Hall.

Go cooperate with your Aunt Yao, let your wife and daughter leave the hall one by one, and go reunite with your mother at Cloud Mountain Path."

"What about the teacher..."

"I’ll handle it."

"But the great battle is imminent, how can I, Li Ping’an, be..."

Bam!

Li Yuan gave him a sharp knock and angrily said, "Your mother is in poor health. If you don’t go back now, when will you go back?!"

Only then did Li Ping’an relent, responding, "Oh... Your son understands..."

After speaking, he said, "Father, how are you so formidable?"

Li Yuan replied, "I am your father, if you’re great, isn’t it inherited from me?"

Li Ping’an said, "What about your white hair?"

Li Yuan responded, "Breaking into the Fifth Grade, I’ve rejuvenated. Alright, boy, stop the nonsense, go back quickly and make the arrangements.

After arranging everything, go to your Aunt Yao’s estate first, I’ll remold a weapon for you, then take the new spiritual artifact and escort your wife and daughter to Cloud Mountain Path swiftly.

Remember, only secretly bring out your wife and daughter, don’t bring anyone extra."

Li Ping’an nodded, then sighed and said, "All these years, has Father been watching me often?"

Li Yuan said, "I just arrived, I wasn’t watching before."

Li Ping’an was taken aback, saying, "Really?"

Li Yuan recalled what his son had said earlier, "Surely, sir, you have been the one watching me all these years," and couldn’t help frowning.

He asked, "When was the last time that person was watching you?"

Li Ping’an replied, "Just now... Before I met Father, that person was still watching me."

"What about now?"

"Not anymore."

"Didn’t you ask your master to help you find them?"

"I did, my master even sought out Hall Master Qing, and later other Fourth Grade powerhouses from different forces.

But... everyone said I was overthinking it.

Because they couldn’t feel that observer."

"Go quickly and return quickly, Father will escort you back to Cloud Mountain Path." Li Yuan’s expression was grave, because he also couldn’t sense that observer.

He pondered briefly, increasingly feeling that this place was dangerous, and added, "Meet with your Aunt Yao often, during this period, Father will go fetch your Third and Fourth Ladies."

...

...

The good things come with challenges, this arrangement took more than a month.

At the border of the Yuantian Estate...

In a desolate place, a carriage was parked.

The carriage’s interior was spacious, inside sat a handsome, spirit-flying man, along with three beautiful women, a boy and a girl.

Driving the carriage was a plain-looking woman in coarse clothes, but if you observed carefully, you’d find she had changed her appearance...

Before long, from a corner of the distant, dust-stirred valley, a figure emerged, with black hair draping over shoulders, carrying a beauty on each hand.

The beauty on the left wore white clothing, her face extremely beautiful, a peerless beauty;

The beauty on the right was petite and delicate, in a black dress embroidered with shy pink floral patterns around the neckline,

The two women swayed with the man’s running pace, but were obviously unconscious.

This man was Li Yuan.

In this month, he had gone through great difficulties to find Cui Huayin and Jing Shuixiang outside.

He tried persuasion before force.

But alas, these two ladies chose to stay in the Divine Wood Hall, with Jing Shuixiang even planning to contact Gu Xuejian, attempting for Qing Hancheng to clear its name.

The situation was urgent, Li Yuan couldn’t explain in detail, so he directly knocked the two women unconscious and ran out.

If it were normal times, he would respect their choices.

But at such times, he didn’t want to respect them.

Because... if he respected their choices, they’d have a nine out of ten chance of dying.

In such a storm, the two women were personnel at the elder level of the Divine Wood Hall, figures at the front line. If they didn’t die, who would?

Moreover, Cui Huayin amongst them had a special status as the former Princess Consort Yin.

If she was there, there’s a nine out of ten chance she’d face the Emperor one day. What would happen then? Li Yuan couldn’t imagine.

So, he simply nipped this future calamity in the bud.

Upon boarding the carriage with a leap, Li Yuan handed the two women to Yaojue and said, "I’ll drive the carriage, you go inside. Put away their weapons first."

"Yes, Master."

Yaojue took over the unconscious Cui Huayin and Jing Shuixiang, and secretly stuck out her tongue, saying, "Miss, Fourth Lady, don’t blame the master..."

On the other side, the three women were infatuated with Li Ping’an, the pregnant woman with a protruding belly said, "I’ve long wanted to leave the trouble with Mr. Li."

The other two women echoed similar sentiments.

"Wherever Mr. Li goes, I go."

"I’ll always be with Brother Ping’an."

When Li Yuan lifted the curtain to check, the three women greeted him, "Father-in-law."

Then, aside from the pregnant woman, the other two women pulled their children along and said, "Call him grandpa."

The boy and girl were about four or five years old, curiously blinking their eyes, and called, "Grandpa."

Then the girl asked, "Mother, can we come back?"

The boy acted maturely saying, "I heard Grandpa is a world-famous Weapon Forger, can he show his skills to his grandson?"

Li Yuan smiled, saying, "Yes, I can do that."

He placed the curtain back, casually shifted his form, and with a flick of the whip, the horse galloped away.

Nearby the carriage, over a dozen flying birds scattered, these birds along with Li Yuan formed a perception area covering hundreds of miles.

Li Yuan drove the carriage, avoiding towns as much as possible, and when encountering impassable roads, he would simply lift the carriage, fly across, and then set it down on the road opposite...

That evening, Jing Shuixiang was the first to wake up.

She yelled, "Li Yuan, who on earth are you?!"

Li Yuan replied, "Your husband! I couldn’t watch you die, I had to take you away!"

Jing Shuixiang retorted, "It’s still uncertain who will prevail, you..."

Li Yuan asked, "How did I defeat you?"

Unable to find her weapon, Jing Shuixiang stomped in anger, "You ambushed me!"

Li Yuan said, "When the carriage stops, we’ll fight again. As long as you can touch me once, I’ll consider myself defeated. If I lose, I’ll let you return."

Soon after, Cui Huayin also awoke.

She glanced at Yaojue, then at the still-angry Jing Shuixiang opposite, and finally at Li Ping’an and the house ladies like Liu Liuxue beside her. Without struggling, the corner of her mouth curled up into a subtle cold arc, she said softly, "The moon rises over the sea, and we share this moment from afar. Is this how you share this moment?"

Li Yuan said, "I once asked you, I said I wanted to go hunting, but you were unwilling to go with me, so I left you in the Divine Wood Hall. But now it’s different."

"You still wish I’d go to the Border Wilderness to live with you.

No one will believe Qing Hancheng conspiring with the Lotus Sect." Cui Huayin slowly shook her head.

Yaojue said, "Miss, I believe it."

Cui Huayin said, "Aren’t you afraid to betray Hall Master Xuejian, Miss?"

Li Ping’an suddenly said, "Third Lady, Fourth Lady, I also believe."

Cui Huayin was momentarily surprised, then said, "Your father must have told you your mother isn’t dead, that’s why you’d believe."

Li Ping’an shook his head, "You’re wrong, Third Lady... My father has absolutely no need to lie."

"Why?" Jing Shuixiang asked, at this moment her petite body brimming with a destructive aura, a feeling of impending explosion was brewing within her.

Li Ping’an said with a bitter smile, "Third Lady, Fourth Lady, you haven’t... really fought with my father, right?"

Jing Shuixiang said, "Could your father defeat you?"

Li Ping’an said, "At this moment, just like before... The way my father beat me fourteen years ago is how he can still beat me now, and I haven’t even glimpsed my father’s true strength."

"Impossible," the petite, dress-clad elder filled with destructive energy was shocked.

Cui Huayin’s eyes revealed a thoughtful expression, she said, "Li Yuan, what exactly do you want to do? Convince me and I’ll go with you... But if you can’t convince me, no matter your abilities, you can only forcibly take me."

Li Yuan said, "Understood, understood. Shuixiang wants a fight, Huayin wants me to share my intentions... Alright, once the carriage crosses the Cloud Mountain Path territory, we’ll settle everything one by one."

Jing Shuixiang crossed her arms, pushing up her small chest, her fiery temper plainly visible, "You’re my husband, but you’d better hurry up!"

Li Yuan always filled with patience for family, smiled, "Alright, dear, don’t be angry..."
