I Have A Martial Dao World

Chapter 493: 493. Regression

Mind Force retracted, Lu Yao landed back on the ground, and took a long breath of relief.

Maintaining a 400-meter Mind Force was massively draining, but it was also a rare cultivation experience.

Looking at the wishes within the clouds, which showed no sign of decreasing, Lu Yao suddenly felt that the people of Blue Star were incredibly enthusiastic.

However, there was still a thirty percent negative wish energy, indicating he still had a long way to go.

At this moment, the freighters that had been blocked for three days and nights couldn't wait to start sailing again.

Standing in the desert and looking towards the canal, Lu Yao found it rather amusing.

The canal's terrain was too low; from a distance, he could only see the freighters and not the water. It appeared as if the huge ships were traveling through the desert, almost like a mirage.

This was the 'Desert Sailing Ship' spectacle of the Suez Canal; such a marvelous sight made Lu Yao sigh with emotion,

"When I have some free time, I must enjoy this properly."

He really wanted to spend a couple more days having fun on Blue Star, but Li Pei's coronation ceremony was fast approaching, and his recent public Divine Manifestation had already caused quite a delay; he had to return now.

After playing with his phone for just 5 minutes, Lu Yao waved his hand to recall the three Spiritual Sparrowhawks, soared into the sky, and opened the light gate to return to the Otherworld.

Not long after he left, the numbers on his account began to skyrocket, heading towards the eleven-digit mark.

The people of Blue Star were used to Lu Yao's sudden appearances and hurried departure, and they continued their enthusiastic discussion about the 'hundred zhang tall Dharma', as well as the three formidable Spiritual Sparrowhawks.

Fragrant Hills Jingyi Garden.

Imperial City experienced its first snowfall of the winter. The entire Xiangshan was enveloped in a snowy landscape, making Jing Yi Garden even more quaint and serene, dignified and pleasant.

At this moment, two extremely similar, stunning women were arm in arm, strolling through the garden.

The younger one was incomparably delicate; the older one was gracefully beautiful. Their presence brightened the entire area; they were Liao Qe and her mother, Xiao Qing.

"It was me who brought Lu Yao back to the martial arts hall. He was amazing, helping us a great deal even when he was still mortal..." @@novelbin@@

The younger sister chattered non-stop, her face bright with a radiant smile, obviously in high spirits.

She had been eating and sleeping with her mother in recent days, finally fulfilling a childhood wish.

Xiao Qing listened with indulgent patience, but her heart was filled with infinite emotion.

Hand in hand with her daughter, she could clearly feel that beneath her daughter's delicate exterior lay a terrifying power; she had reached the Innate Realm!

Yet her daughter still acted with demure grace, and her mentality was pure and innocent. This showed that her daughter had been well protected and had never suffered any hardships.

She had to admit that indeed, 'a woman fears marrying the wrong man,' and having a good husband was more important than anything else for a girl.

At that moment, the two of them encountered Su Er Ya as they walked.

The girl quickly bowed in greeting, "Greetings to Lady Xiao, greetings to my martial aunt."

Liao Qe asked, "Er Ya, didn't Li Pei call you to help out? Why have you returned so early?"

Er Ya replied, "Tomorrow is the coronation ceremony, and Lady Li Pei sent me back to check whether Lord Lu had returned."

"He hasn't come back yet, but he will soon," Liao Qe said.

The obedient young girl was very endearing, and Liao Qe affectionately ruffled Er Ya's hair before letting her leave.

Xiao Qing also smiled as she watched the lovely young girl walk away before inquiring,

"Lord Lu, is it just you three women attending to him?"

The number seemed surprisingly low; even if not as many as the thousands under Yuan Kaisheng, there should at least be a thousand or so.

Liao Qe was about to say there were four, but then thought better of letting her mother know about Yu Yanmei's issue and simply nodded instead.

Xiao Qing sighed genuinely, "No wonder Lord Lu has achieved what he has today; such a disposition truly transcends the mundane."

Then, looking at her young daughter with a face full of satisfaction, she added with a hint of self-reproach,

"Both you and your sister are blessed to marry such outstanding men. Unlike me, a woman of misfortune..."

Liao Qe hurriedly said, "Mom, stop fretting, your days of suffering are over. Come on—I'll give you a massage. Once your foundation is stable, we'll have Lu Yao take you to the Marrow-Cleansing Realm."

Lady Xiao was a kind of weak Organ Refining practitioner, and now she was solidifying her foundation with daily massages from her younger daughter.

The two women returned to the room where Liao Qe helped Lady Xiao undress, preparing to perform the 'Dynamic Dragon-Subduing Art'

As soon as the bellyband came undone, two familiar, soft, and sizable mounds suddenly burst forth.

Liao Qe touched her own and grumbled with dissatisfaction, "It's so unfair, you and sister are both so beautiful. Why don't I have that?"

Lady Xiao smiled and said, "You're still young, and besides, these things are quite cumbersome—what's so good about them?"

Liao Qe muttered under her breath, "Lu Yao likes..."

With that, she began her techniques, expertly stimulating the various acupoints on her mother's back.

Lu Yao's family often massaged each other and was very familiar with each other's bodies.

As she massaged, Liao Qe suddenly realized that compared to herself, her sister and mother resembled each other more closely.

Especially their figures, they seemed to have been cast from the same mold. That gentle and flowing temperament was also identical.

If the mother and daughter wore the same clothes, the average person would truly have a hard time telling who was who.

Unfortunately, the two were in a stiff conflict, with the sister deliberately avoiding any interaction, not even speaking when they met.

For a moment, Liao Qe didn't know how to ease the relationship between the two.

~~~~~~~~~~

As the sun set behind the West Mountain, Li Pei ran back, worried about Lu Yao's absence, "With such a big event at hand, my husband won't fail to return, will he..."

At the moment, only Liao Ya was there, as the others were busy with their own affairs.

She took out a freshly brewed jug of 'Golden Stem Immortal Brew' and poured Li Pei a cup:

"Don't worry, my junior brother surely won't miss it. Drink a cup and get some good sleep."

With the government recently established, there was a myriad of pressing matters. Li Pei had been working non-stop for half a month without sleep.

Even for someone in the Innate Realm, signs of severe exhaustion were evident.

"Sister Da Liao always treats me so well—your wine gets stronger every time."

Li Pei took a large cup of wine and drank it all in one go, visibly relaxing.

The Golden Elixir Brew, steeped with Jade Pendant, has many peculiar effects, with mental relief being just one of them.

Liao Ya knew how hard the other party had been working recently and now tenderly helped with the massage.

But unexpectedly, Li Pei, emboldened by the alcohol, suddenly embraced Liao Ya, making her sit on her lap while pouring out her worries:

"Tomorrow is my big day, but I'm so nervous... So many bastards want to see me fail... Sister Da Liao, let me hold you for a while, it's so comfortable~"

Liao Ya helplessly allowed herself to be embraced, saying, "Is it still the shortage of food that's bothering you?"

"Yes, some people are convinced that I'm powerless against them."

Li Pei buried her face in Liao Ya's bosom, rubbing against it comfortably, "I feel so useless, unable to do anything without my husband..."

Just then, the two women stood up simultaneously, having heard the cry and fluttering wings of the Spiritual Sparrowhawk.

"My husband has returned!"

They both ran out excitedly and indeed, it was Lu Yao.

Li Pei rushed into his embrace, while Lu Yao held his sister, who was completely exhausted, and smiled, "Everything will be alright, I'm here."

But the woman in his arms didn't respond, and upon closer inspection, she had actually fallen asleep, even snoring softly.
