…

The portal once again opened as Feng Xiaoling had been waiting right in front of the entrance. Her temperament was different from the last time they met her.

Her appearance resembled the change that occurred when the first ancestor possessed her. However, the manifestation was nowhere to be found and her aura returned to normal.

"Xiaoling…" Feng Haotian and Grandma Lin felt relieved when they saw her. At the same time, they were also being careful not to be tricked by another ghost.

Feng Xiaoling came out of the portal and clasped her hands politely. "Father, Grandma Lin. Xiaoling hasn't disappointed you."

"Are you…" Feng Haotian gasped.

Feng Xiaoling showed her palm and summoned a small flame. This flame looked weak, but Feng Haotian and Grandma Lin felt a sense of suppression coming from this flame.

"A flame that can suppress the phoenix's flame… It's truly the ancestor's flame, the Eternal Flame." Grandma Lin was taken aback. There were tears in the corner of her eyes as she felt proud of Feng Xiaoling's achievement.

Feng Haotian asked, "Have you…"

"I haven't changed, Father. It's just… After being together with the first ancestor for a full day, I have come to realize a lot of things. I apologize if my past self has caused you a lot of trouble. Although Xiaoling might still make another mistake, Xiaoling promises to strive to become a better person." Feng Xiaoling shook her head.

It seemed that there were a lot of things they had talked about. Even they could see that Feng Xiaoling had started addressing herself from a third perspective.

After greeting Feng Haotian and Grandma Lin, Feng Xiaoling walked to Theo and fell on one knee. "Feng Xiaoling greets his excellency. I hope that his excellency can forgive the past me who is like a brat."

Theo nodded with a calm expression while Mia furrowed her eyebrows. She thought, 'She is addressing herself with her own name? What next? Is she going to call herself 'this queen' next?'

Feng Xiaoling asked, "If your excellency doesn't mind, I'd like to accompany you to all the places you're planning to visit in this world before following you to your original world."

"Xiaoling…" Feng Haotian and Grandma Lin were worried about her. Even though they had discussed this matter all night, they still couldn't let go of her.

However, it was quite surprising that Feng Xiaoling called Theo 'his excellency.' Was it because of the first ancestor?

Nevertheless, Theo replied, "You don't have to do that. For now, you can spend your time with your family for a while. After that, I hope you can go to the Demon Realm and help my wife there. There is something else I have to do in the Modern Realm before I can go back. As for the time, it should be about five months."

Feng Xiaoling nodded her head. "I understand."

"In that case, the agreement this time has been completed." Theo glanced at Feng Haotian and Grandma Lin.

"Yes…" Feng Haotian gave a wry smile while taking out two bottles and a space ring. "Each bottle contains a phoenix tear. The space ring contains the books that you want."

"Alright then. I will go to Thunder Mountain for a bit before heading to my original destination. There should be no problem with the route that you give me, right?" Theo asked for confirmation. If he didn't ask, there was a chance that the route would lead him into trouble.

"No." Feng Haotian shook his head.

"Wait, Your Excellency. If you wish to go to Thunder Mountain, please take Xiaoling as well. I could become your guide there. I can spend my time with my family after that."

"This…" Theo furrowed his eyebrows. On the one hand, he wanted to reject this deal because he didn't want to waste the time she could spend with her family. On the other hand, he was quite curious about her abilities. After all, she was going to help his wife, so it should be fine to test her a little bit.

After some consideration, he said, "Alright. I will be going there for only three days. According to your father, the king of the mountain is only an 8-Star Golden Core Stage beast, so I'm planning to go around the mountain before challenging him."

Feng Xiaoling recalled the information about Thunder Mountain and nodded her head, confirming the information.

"In that case, take your time. I will go before dusk." Theo nodded his head while extending his hand.

"Thank you." Feng Xiaoling gratefully clasped her hands as they returned together.

Once Theo reached the north courtyard, Mia couldn't help but ask, "Dad. Are we going to bring her?"

"Yeah. It's fine for the time being. Besides, there are things that I want to confirm." Theo shrugged his shoulders while showing the comments to Mia. "By the way, you can take a look at this in the meantime."

"Mhmm?" Mia lowered her head, reading the comments. "I don't understand. What's the deal with these animals? Even if we have a fox, it's going to be the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon. I mean, that should be one of the Supreme Demon Races. If I'm not wrong, there are also three-legged crows, rocs, and others. Considering the Dragon Race doesn't have the 'Azure' word in its name, I guess there are no vermilion birds, black tortoises, or white tigers in this world."

"Also, I don't think it's good to forget about her. We should hope that the author is not like most authors, who introduce people or things only to forget about them later." Mia paused for a moment. "And stop; get some help."

Theo chuckled. "Now that I think about it, we have been in this world for almost fifty chapters, right?"

"I didn't count it." Mia shook her head. "But I think the arc has gone on for too long. If we are following the usual fast pace the author has, especially for the previous missions you've gone on, I think we'll return to the Modern Realm in less than ten chapters."

"Fair enough." Theo contemplated for a moment. "How about we speed things up?"

"What do you mean?"

"I have been experimenting with some time skips, so I know what to do to trigger the time skips."

"Oh?!" Mia's expression brightened. "If you can truly do that, does that mean you can control time?"

"You're exaggerating it." Theo laughed while patting his daughter's head. "Anyway, let's test this…"

…

A few hours later.

Theo said, "It's time for us to leave."

"Yup!" Mia nodded. "By the way, do we have a time skip?"

"I don't know. But if we don't do much or discuss a lot of things, I believe the author can shorten the chapters or use a time skip to reach the part where we leave the Feng clan. The readers have to confirm my theory though."

"Even though we don't feel the time skip, the story can progress much faster. It means that there are fewer chapters for the author to write."

"Yep. If the author planned an outline of one thousand chapters to meet him, by utilizing this time skip, we could make it eight hundred chapters or something." Theo smirked. "Although we don't feel the time skip, by making the author write less, we reduce the potential of this story being abandoned."

"As expected of Dad." Mia made a big smile.

They walked toward the exit, where Feng Xiaoling and Feng Haotian had been waiting for them. It seemed that Grandma Lin didn't want to be separated from Feng Xiaoling that much, so she didn't see her off.

"Father. It's time for Xiaoling to go." Feng Xiaoling cupped her hands.

"Yeah. Take care." Feng Haotian nodded. Feng Xiaoling had briefed him about what the ancestor told her, so he agreed with Feng Xiaoling following Theo.

Feng Xiaoling then jumped into the air as her body transformed into her phoenix form. This time, the red marks spread all over her body. It seemed that she was close to her transformation into a true fire.@@novelbin@@

"Please go on top of me, Your Excellency." Feng Xiaoling lowered her wings so that Theo could ride her.

"No. We're planning to test the dragon horses this time." Theo replied while jumping on top of the horse. Mia did the same.

"Let's go." Theo smiled before whispering to the dragon horses what to do.

Feng Haotian cupped his hands as he watched all of them take off.

The dragon horses could actually step on the air. Mia couldn't help but shout, "Wooo! This is amazing. If only these guys were deer, I could become Santa!"

Theo chuckled. They could easily do that with a couple of illusions.

"By the way, Feng Xiaoling. You don't have to call me that way. Just call me my name."

"That can't be done." Feng Xiaoling shook her head without hesitation.

Theo had expected this, so he instantly changed his words. "In that case, just call me Mr. Theo. The same for my wife."

"Master Theo." Feng Xiaoling corrected Theo's words to the limit.

Theo let out a sigh. It seemed that he couldn't push her more than this.

"Alright then. I will tell you about our plan for Thunder Mountain. I also want to give you all the information you need for the next few months."
