Chapter 1566: Welcoming a Bright New Beginning (Finale)
In their leisure time, Yi Feng would take Bai Piaopiao to various planets.
He took her to an island surrounded by the sea, where the weather was warm and the skies were clear. Hand in hand, they strolled along the soft, cashmere-like sandy beach, their feet brushing against the waves. They listened to the islanders tell countless stories and histories.
They also went to see the auroras and visited the moving turtle island, which was filled with flowers and butterflies.
They traveled to many wondrous places, met many old friends, and witnessed countless breathtaking sights.
Their footprints spread across the stars and realms, living a life of happiness that even celestial couples would envy.
Whether they lived in luxury or simplicity, as long as they were together, they were content.
Years passed in the blink of an eye...
One day, atop a towering peak, as usual, they nestled together, watching the sunrise.
In the east, a red sun slowly rose.
A ray of dawn pierced through the darkness, tearing apart the night and welcoming the day.
In an instant, the light of dawn illuminated the entire land.
At that moment, Bai Piaopiao nuzzled her head against Yi Feng's chest, like an adorable little kitten.
Gazing at the rising sun, she softly said, "If you want to go, then go. I believe in you, and I'll wait for you to return..."
"You..."
Yi Feng looked down at his beloved, surprised.
"Didn't you say we share a deep connection? How could I not know when something is on your mind?"
Yi Feng smiled bitterly.
Indeed, he had been carrying a burden in his heart.
After defeating the Red Moon Supreme, Yi Feng's first thought was to restore Lou Benwei's physical body.
But later, he discovered something unusual about Lou Benwei.
Even though Lou Benwei existed within Yi Feng's world, Yi Feng's laws of power could not restore Lou Benwei's body, nor could they control his life or death.
After much contemplation, Yi Feng finally reached a conclusion.
Lou Benwei was likely a being of a higher order, one born from the universe itself, rather than from their smaller world.
Yi Feng's laws of power only affected the beings within his own world and could not interfere with the order of the external universe.
Therefore, to restore Lou Benwei's body, it was impossible to simply let him reincarnate within Yi Feng's world, as the Spirit King had done.
Instead, Lou Benwei would have to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation within the external universe, enduring three calamities and nine trials.
In the past, Lou Benwei had sacrificed his physical body for Yi Feng.
Now, for Lou Benwei to regain his body through reincarnation, how could Yi Feng, as his brother, stand idly by?
To ensure his brother's peaceful reincarnation, Yi Feng believed he should bear the burden of the three calamities and nine trials.
But Yi Feng also knew he owed Bai Piaopiao much, so he had kept this matter buried deep in his heart.
Now, Bai Piaopiao had seen through him, forcing Yi Feng to confront his true feelings.
Yes, he was not truly free of worries.
To find peace in his heart, for the sake of his brother Lou Benwei, and to live a carefree life with Bai Piaopiao, Yi Feng decided to embark on a new journey.
He kissed Bai Piaopiao's forehead, his heart aching at her understanding and thoughtfulness.
"Thank you."
"I will definitely return. Wait for me!"
Yi Feng spoke with unwavering determination, fully confident in his own strength.
Bai Piaopiao hugged Yi Feng tightly.
She was reluctant to part with her husband, but after holding him close, she eventually let go.
Bai Piaopiao understood that love was not about束缚, but about mutual support and understanding.
She knew Yi Feng carried many burdens, and she wanted his heart to be pure and unburdened, so that he could truly be happy.
Gently caressing Yi Feng's face, Bai Piaopiao smiled brightly and said, "Husband, I believe in you. Our baby and I will wait for you to return..."
Yi Feng was stunned.
"I'm going to be a father?"
He was overjoyed.
He held Bai Piaopiao in his arms, his hand gently resting on her slender waist as a warm energy flowed into her.
Sure enough, he sensed a new life within her, one connected to his own bloodline.
Unable to resist, he pressed his ear against her belly, listening intently.
"I'm really going to be a father! Haha!"
Yi Feng's face lit up with joy, and in that moment, he looked as happy as a child.
Bai Piaopiao felt the life growing within her, the warmth of Yi Feng's cheek against her belly, and his overwhelming joy. She, too, smiled with happiness.
Gently stroking Yi Feng's face, she whispered, "Little one, tell Daddy to come back safely and soon."
Yi Feng lovingly kissed Bai Piaopiao's belly and said softly, "Daddy hears you. While Daddy's away, don't cause trouble for Mommy. When Daddy returns, I'll make you a wooden sword, a wooden horse, and teach you how to practice martial arts and fish..."
That night, Yi Feng held Bai Piaopiao as they fell into a peaceful sleep, resting soundly.
The next morning, as the sun rose, a group of children knocked on the wooden gate of their small courtyard.
"Teacher, Mrs. said you're going on a long journey. Remember to stay safe and eat on time."
"Teacher, don't worry. We'll take care of Mrs. while you're away!"
"Teacher, bring us some tasty treats when you come back..."
The children's faces were filled with reluctance.
Yi Feng gently patted their heads and said, "Alright, you all must practice your martial arts diligently and listen to Mrs. If anyone makes her upset, I won't let them off lightly when I return!"
The children, well-behaved and understanding, replied in unison, "Don't worry, Teacher!"
Then, Yi Feng took Bai Piaopiao's delicate hands in his, and the two gazed into each other's eyes.
The children, seeing this, teased them for a moment before tactfully running off.
Yi Feng looked into his wife's misty, autumn-like eyes and said firmly, "Piaopiao, wait for me with our child. I'll be back."
Bai Piaopiao tightened her grip on Yi Feng's strong hands and nodded gently. "Go quickly and return soon. We'll be waiting..."
Yi Feng tenderly embraced Bai Piaopiao, planting a deep kiss on her forehead before turning to leave.
Bai Piaopiao stood by the gate, watching Yi Feng's figure gradually disappear into the distance, her heart heavy with longing.
This separation left her feeling lost and empty.
The reluctance and unease in her heart turned into silent tears that streamed down her face.
She didn't know how long her husband would be gone this time. As his wife, all she could do was wait patiently at home for his return.
"Piaopiao, I promise I'll be back before our child is born. I will!"
Yi Feng's voice echoed in Bai Piaopiao's mind, even as his figure vanished into the horizon.
Hearing his promise, Bai Piaopiao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled faintly.
She gently caressed her belly and whispered, "Little one, Daddy said he'll be back before you're born. Did you hear him..."
In the endless expanse of the cosmos, Yi Feng stood proudly with his hands behind his back.
With a thought, a streak of light shot through the void, transforming into a long sword that hovered beside him.
The sword hummed and vibrated, as if filled with excitement and anticipation.
Yi Feng grasped his life-bound sword, his gaze fixed on the depths of the universe. With unwavering resolve, he stepped forward.
This journey was to help his brother endure the trials of reincarnation and to welcome a bright new beginning...
