My gorgeous wife Chapter 2207 - 2175: Another Father and Son’s Conversation

"Whew—finally escaped."

Outside the grand hall, Li Chen exhaled deeply, feeling even more tense inside than when facing the combined army of the Three Realms.

Grabbing the hand of the Netherworld beside him, Li Chen looked grateful: "Son, you really saved your dad’s life this time!"

The Netherworld couldn’t help but laugh silently at these words.

His father is now a top-tier existence with a reputation that echoes throughout the Four Great Realms, known as the Strongest in the Starry Sky.

Yet, he is still frightened by mom and several aunts like this; the Netherworld didn’t know whether to laugh or not.

But in his heart, the Netherworld felt more warmth.

They’re back.

Dad is back, mom is back, the aunts, everyone, they’re all back.

This is what a family is.

"Oh no!" Li Chen suddenly slapped his forehead, unexpectedly hitting the large bump that had yet to disappear, grimacing in pain.

"Dad, what’s wrong?" the Netherworld asked in confusion.

"I forgot Senior Lieu inside!" Li Chen shouted, then immediately grabbed the Netherworld and bolted.

In the grand hall, Lieu Zhanxiao’s spiritual body reformed, showing a gloomy expression, swearing that the next time he sees this ungrateful kid, he’ll slash him twice before speaking.

Looking at the group of chattering women beside him, Lieu Zhanxiao instantly felt like crying.

"Wow, an artifact spirit!" Just at this inopportune moment, a young girl with a naive, foolish look ran up to Lieu Zhanxiao, poking his face with her finger.

Originally wanting to yell, Lieu Zhanxiao didn’t know why, but felt as if he met a natural enemy, freezing completely, unable to move.

She poked for quite a while before leaving when others called her over.

"Tian Yi, come over here, let’s talk!"

"Coming, Sister You Xue!"

Watching the bouncing young girl run away, Lieu Zhanxiao felt his spiritual body break out in cold sweat.

What on earth is this girl?

Scared me to death!

Simultaneously, in his heart, Senior Lieu felt more resentment toward Li Chen, who left him here alone, adding another slash to the two initially planned.

I’ll slash you until you can’t die!

...

Elsewhere, Li Chen had long since run off.

Strolling with the Netherworld in a city within the Borderland Realm.

The Borderland Realm is somewhat similar to the Starry Sky Immortal City in the Immortal Domain, an independent interface, resembling a minor world, but higher-grade and larger.

Some top-tier powerhouses have their unique abodes here.

The grand hall that Li Chen came from was the sleeping chamber of the Daiyu Heavenly Venerable back in the day.

A large city was built surrounding Daiyu Heavenly Venerable’s palace.

In the city, there are the Borderland Realm’s army and followers unique to Daiyu Heavenly Venerable.

Of course, there are also some from the Heaven Realm who came to adventure but haven’t decided to join the Heaven Realm army.

Hmm, and their families.

After countless years of evolution, the Borderland Realm has truly become a complete world; of course, the quality of powerhouses in this world surpasses that of the average Star Continent in the Heaven Realm by far.

"Dad, what’s your plan next?" the Netherworld asked, looking at Li Chen beside him.

The father and son strolled the streets of this ancient and bustling city, a feeling quite peculiar to them both.

After all, in the Lower Realm, they never had such an experience.

One is that the Netherworld was young, the other because Li Chen had too many responsibilities, often adventuring outside, rarely spending time with him.

This was what Li Chen felt most guilty about toward the Netherworld.

"I have some plans." Li Chen nodded: "Since we’re here, I need to meet some of the old seniors of the Borderland Realm no matter what. Although the Four Realms are at peace, it doesn’t mean there’s nothing to do. After all, there are still quite a few people in the Ancient Battle Realm that haven’t come out; we need to keep an eye on them. In case of any abnormal situations, I’ll do my part."

"Also, though there’s no need to go to war with the other Three Realms, we still have more terrifying enemies to come." Li Chen sighed.

"Then what’s your plan, dad?" the Netherworld couldn’t help but ask.

"First, settle down." Li Chen nodded: "Though there’s much more to handle, those are future matters. Let’s settle down first; everything will be easier then. Also, I’ve rooted the Palace of the Nether King on the Star Continent of Heavenly Might. I’m planning to secretly set up a Teleportation Array outside the Borderland Realm. If anything happens, we’ll have some leverage."

The Netherworld nodded: "Precisely, that couldn’t be better."

That’s Li Chen for you; for anyone else, setting up a Teleportation Array from the Star Continent of Heavenly Might to this far-off Borderland Realm, they’d be exhausted by the materials and formation alone.

"Besides, your dad has another matter weighing on his heart that hasn’t been resolved." Li Chen said, then suddenly smiled.

"A matter weighing on your heart?" The Netherworld couldn’t help but be curious: "What is it?"

Li Chen grinned: "Marriage!"

Seeing the Netherworld a bit dumbfounded, some guilt flashed in Li Chen’s eyes: "I owe your mom and a few aunts a wedding, owed for over twenty years now. We’ve finally reunited; I think I can’t keep owing them."

Unexpectedly, the Netherworld solemnly nodded along: "You’re right, dad. Even though you’re my dad, I think you and mom and the aunts should have a true bloodline of your own."

"Dad, rest assured, I won’t worry, nor will I be jealous. If there are siblings later, I’ll treat them as my own siblings. Because, in my view, you all are my family." The Netherworld smiled.

Li Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, only then relaxing.

He had been afraid the Netherworld would have some emotional knots; that’s why he hesitated for a long time before deciding to speak.

The Netherworld’s attitude finally eased his worries.

"Let’s go, dad, Uncle Bai and Uncle Ning are waiting for us ahead. There’s a shop here that sells Exotic Treasures and Beasts hunted from the Starry Sky. It’s said the shopkeeper is an Immortal Chef from the Immortal Domain; you’re in for a treat this time." The Netherworld laughed.

"Great!" Li Chen laughed heartily too.

The two chatted and walked towards the shop the Netherworld indicated, seeing Uncle Bai waving and Ning Wangyang smiling outside.

There were quite a few pedestrians along the way, but though Li Chen’s title as the Strongest in the Starry Sky had spread, clearly not many recognized his face yet, so no one disturbed them.

But shortly after they entered the shop, a fortune teller dressed rather casually approached, carrying a humorously inappropriate banner from the opposite street.

He pinched his fingers, surveying the grand buildings around.

"It’s time for the meeting."
