“I’m sorry, Mom.” Chen Li hugged his mother tighter. “I will never hurt anyone who is innocent of us, but I will never forgive those who have hurt your feelings and destroyed our family.”
“But-”
“Trust me, Mom.” Chen Li immediately put his finger on his mother’s lips. “I will never be a cold-blooded killer, and I will only kill those who deserve to be killed.”
Lin Qingzhu sighed in her heart, buried her face in her son’s chest, and said to him. “I hope you will keep your word, Li’er.”
“I promise you, Mom.” Chen Li then told her. “Anyway, Xian’er and I are going to Tianjin to see Uncle Su and Aunt Jia tomorrow morning, and we also want to see Uncle Mu to talk about opening a Qingshui Restaurant branch there. Would you like to come with us to meet them?”
“Do you want to ask for their blessing on your relationship with Little Yao?” Chen Li nodded to her. “All right, I haven’t seen them for a long time either, and I am your mother, so I will accompany you to ask for their blessing.”
“That’s good.” Soon, both fell asleep in each other’s arms.
.

“What would you do?” Sun Xing’er asked Anna, who was about to sneak into Lin Qingzhu’s room. “They’re asleep now, so you better not disturb them.”
“But-”
“No buts!” Sun Xing’er stopped her directly. “If you don’t listen to my words, I will lock you up in your room for a few days, and you definitely won’t like it.”
Upon hearing that, Anna sighed helplessly and returned to her room, but Sun Xing’er could hear her grumbling.
“Sigh, what a lustful demon! Even those wolf beasts aren’t as lustful as her!” Sun Xing’er muttered as she shook her head, and she directly entered the Tianyi Realm to cultivate.
.
.

The next morning, after they had breakfast together, Sun Xing’er immediately took Chen Li, Feng Xian’er, and Lin Qingzhu to Tianjin.
Meanwhile, the other women immediately left to do their own thing, except for Yu Xuan and Bei Lian’er, who stayed behind at Qingshui Mansion.
In just a few blinks of an eye, the four of them arrived in Tianjin, and Sun Xing’er immediately returned to her fox form, lying on Chen Li’s head.
After that, Chen Li took them to the Su house. Su Mengyao, who was waiting at the door of his house, immediately jumped up and hugged him like an octopus. “Hehe! You’ve finally come here, Big Bad Gege! It’s been a few years since you came here last time.”
“Have you told your parents about our arrival?” Lin Qingzhu asked her.
Su Mengyao nodded to her. “Yesterday, I told them that Big Bad Gege and Xian’er Jiejie would be coming here, but I didn’t expect that you would be coming too, Aunt Qingzhu.”
“I am Li’er’s mother, so I have to come here to propose to your parents, right?” Lin Qingzhu replied as she rubbed Su Mengyao’s head. “However, I never expected that the crybaby Little Yao would already become a popular singer, and I heard that you already have a lot of fans now.”
Su Mengyao pouted her lips and complained to her. “I’m not a crybaby anymore, Aunt Qingzhu! I’m an adult now, and I will soon be Big Bad Gege’s wife!”
“Haha.” They laughed at her like that.
Suddenly, Jia Qing walked out of their house, but she was stunned when she saw Chen Li. “Are you really Little Chen? How did your appearance become like this? I wouldn’t even be able to recognize you if my daughter didn’t hug you.”
“Long time no see, Aunt Jia.” Chen Li greeted her as he smiled. “It’s a long story, and we can talk about it inside.”
“Oh, right! Let’s go inside first.” Jia Qing then pulled Lin Qingzhu’s hand. “We haven’t seen each other in a long time, but we will become in-laws soon.”
“After all, we both know that Yao’er has liked my son for a long time, and they have finally decided to be together.” Lin Qingzhu answered as she followed Jia Qing into the house. .
Inside, Su Yuan was already waiting for them, and he didn’t recognize Chen Li either. “Little Chen? Is it really you?”
“It’s me, Uncle Su.” Chen Li replied as he led Su Mengyao to sit in front of her father, and Feng Xian’er sat beside them.
Without further ado, Lin Qingzhu directly asked them about his son’s relationship with Su Mengyao.
Although Su Yuan initially found it hard to approve of his daughter’s relationship with Chen Li, after he talked to his wife more deeply, he finally decided to bless their relationship. “However, Yao’er is still fifteen years old now, so you guys won’t be able to marry for another three years.”
“Hehe! I’m fine with that, Dad! Qingqing and I are already planning to marry Big Bad Gege at the same time!” Su Mengyao replied to her father as she laughed cheerfully.
Su Yuan was speechless seeing his daughter like that, and Jia Qing asked Chen Li. “What exactly happened to you?”
Hearing that, Chen Li told them about the incident that had happened to him, which made them very shocked. “Uncle Su! Aunt Jia! I know you two have superpowers, but I still want you two to be like us.”
“What do you mean to be like you guys?” Su Yuan confusedly asked.
Chen Li turned to his old form and floated in front of them, and they stared at him wide-eyed, especially since they remembered that he was born weak. “You guys may be confused about this, but I am not a superpower possessor but a cultivator. Not only me, but they are also the same as me.”
Su Yuan and Jia Qing exchanged glances for a moment before they asked them. “Are you guys really cultivators?”
“That’s right.” Lin Qingzhu and Feng Xian’er answered them with a nod.
Su Mengyao then said to her parents. “Dad! Mom! If you two become cultivators like us, your superpowers will increase even more, and you’ll also live longer, so we can be together for a very long time.”
Su Yuan rubbed his chin as he spoke to them. “When I was young, my grandfather often told me about cultivators, but I didn’t expect that cultivators were real.”
“Can we really live longer if we become cultivators?” Jia Qing curiously asked because she didn’t want to be separated from her only daughter.
Feng Xian’er directly told her. “Aunt Jia, cultivation has many stages, and every time our cultivation breaks through to the next stage, our lifespan will also continue to increase. If our cultivation is higher, then our lifespan will also be longer.”
“I see.” Jia Qing nodded in understanding and said to Su Yuan. “Husband, we should also become cultivators like them; only then can we accompany our daughter.”
“All right.” Su Yuan naturally didn’t want to leave his daughter either, so he immediately agreed with his wife without hesitation.
After they agreed, Feng Xian’er and Su Mengyao brought them into the Tianyi realm, and Chen Li took his mother and Sun Xing’er to go see Mu Ling.
.

“Hahaha! Qingzhu, I really enjoyed the dishes at your restaurant, but I haven’t had time to go to Beijing again yet.” Mu Ling said as he laughed loudly. “However, I didn’t expect that Little Chen would meet my daughter, and Fei’er had already told me about your plan to open a branch in this city.”
Unlike Su Mengyao’s family, Chen Li didn’t tell Mu Ling and his family about cultivator and the like, especially since they didn’t have a special relationship with his family. Even Mu Fei herself didn’t know that he had the power now.
Lin Qingzhu smiled and asked him. “So what do you think about it, Brother Mu?”
“What are you asking that for?” Mu Ling asked back as he smiled. “I’d love it if you opened a branch of your restaurant in this city, and I could enjoy those dishes again without having to go to Beijing.”
“That’s good.” Lin Qingzhu nodded to him. “In that case, you can start choosing the right place and staff, and Yun Zhi and I will come here once everything is ready. As for our cooperation draft, I will prepare it and email it to you soon.”
“All right, I will wait for the cooperation draft.” Mu Ling then told Mu Fei to quickly prepare one of their empty buildings.
After they discussed a few other things, Chen Li took his mother to visit various tourist spots in Tianjin, such as the Eye of Tianjin, Huangyaguan Great Wall, and many other places.
Lin Qingzhu herself was enjoying her time with her son so much, she then rested her head on his shoulder. “I hope we’ll be able to stay like this forever, Li’er.”
“Of course we will continue like this, Mom.” Chen Li replied as he hugged his mother’s waist. “Currently, my strength is still insufficient for that, but I will continue to practice and cultivate to become strong to ensure our future happiness.”
“En.” Ling Qingzhu nodded to him.
Chen Li then told her. “Anyway, I will take Xian’er and the others into seclusion, and we might not come out in a few days.”
“It’s fine.” Lin Qingzhu nodded in understanding. “Sister Wenxin and I can take care of the restaurant; Wei’er can take care of the Long Feng Security Company; and Sister Mingyue will help you take care of your pharmaceutical company’s affairs.”
