"You should stay in the palace first, Brother Tian. We haven't seen each other for a long time, and there's still a lot I want to tell you." Wang Xinruo also urged him, but the way she spoke to Xia Tian made Shui Lihao's expression strange.
'Why does Xinruo address this young man as his Big Brother? From his bonege, it is clear that he is still sixteen years old, and also why did Queen Yuhe also ask for his opinion in the first place?' Shui Lihao said to himself.
Xia Tian thought for a while, he then hugged Zhu Yuhe's waist, and nodded. "Alright then, we'll come with you guys."
Zhu Yuhe glared at him sharply, as there was Shui Lihao in front of them. Sure enough, Shui Lihao's eyes widened after seeing their intimacy, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"Big Brother? You and Queen Yuhe?" Wang Xinruo curiously asked, because she knew Zhu Yuhe's character, even Emperor Hong Chen had always been rejected by her.
Xia Tian replied with a chuckle. "Yuhe is one of my women, Little Xinruo."
Zhu Yuhe wanted to dig a hole to hide, she didn't expect that Xia Tian would admit their relationship so openly, especially since their situation was critical.
Xia Tian's answer brought silence around them, Shui Lihao and Shui Liuli looked at them in shock. Even the jaws of the Shui Kingdom soldiers fell open, they gaped in shock.

Xia Tian shuddered as soon as Wang Xinruo mentioned his Master, even Zhu Yuhe was surprised by it, she felt Xia Tian seemed to be afraid of his Master. Xia Tian smiled bitterly, then said to her. "You better not mention that woman, Little Xinruo. I get goosebumps every time I think of her. Anyway, let's go now."
After that, Xia Tian took Zhu Yuhe along for a quick walk, as they enjoyed the atmosphere of the forest.
"My king?" Wang Xinruo said to Shui Lihao who was still in shock by their relationship.
Hearing his concubine's call, Shui Lihao finally regained his senses. He then turned around, and said to his soldiers. "You guys didn't see or hear anything today, Understand!?"
"Yes, My King!" The soldiers answered in unison.
He then asked Wang Xinruo. "Who exactly is that young man, Xinruo? You even address him as big brother."
Wang Xinruo rode the horse that had been prepared for her along with her daughter, as she said to Shui Lihao. "He is the reincarnation of my Big Brother, and his name used to be Long Tian, but he is now Xia Tian."
"Reincarnation?" Shui Lihao asked, as he also got on his horse, then they slowly moved behind Xia Tian and Zhu Yuhe who were still hugging each other, and walked very fast.
"Big Brother's past story is very tragic, he died because of his obsession to bring his wife back to life, he even dared to use ancient forbidden arts. At that time, we thought his soul had disappeared completely, but apparently a miracle happened, and he was reincarnated as the current Xia Tian." Wang Xinruo then told how loyal Long Tian was to his wife Liu Lifen, he even ignored every women who were infatuated with him, and various other things.
'He really is an extraordinary man, he was even willing to sacrifice his life to bring his wife back to life. Even though he ended up failing miserably, but his struggles were still extraordinary.' Shui Liuli inwardly muttered, she was truly amazed by Xia Tian's past story.
Listening to stories about Xia Tian's past, Shui Lihao felt that their stories were like legends. Finally Wang Xinruo said seriously to him. "My King, you must have a good relationship with my Big Brother. Trust me, you will not regret having a good relationship with him. But otherwise, if you go against him, then the Shui Kingdom will perish."
"En." Shui Lihao nodded to his concubine, even though she was only a concubine, but Wang Xinruo had a special meaning to him, and he really respected her opinion.

Shui Palace
After some time, they arrived at Shui Palace, Shui Lihao then asked Wang Xinruo to take them to rest first, and he also asked the palace kitchen to prepare a small banquet for them.
Wang Xinruo raised an eyebrow, as she watched her daughter keep glancing at Xia Tian. 'Could it be that Liuli is attracted to Big Brother Tian? Big Brother's charm has always been terrifying, even though he's reincarnated now, but his charm still hasn't changed.'
She then took Xia Tian and Zhu Yuhe to the royal guest room, and left them to rest, then she pulled her daughter, and asked. "Are you interested in Big Brother, Liuli?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Eh?" Shui Liuli was taken aback by her mother's question. "I don't know if I'm attracted to him or not, Mom. But I do admire him, especially after I've heard your stories about his past life, he's willing to go that far for his wife, and he's even willing to take big risks to bring her back to life."
"I know." Wang Xinruo embraced her daughter, and walked side by side, as she spoke. "In the past, Big Sister Lifen was the most important person to him, he was even willing to give up his status as Emperor as well as his status as strongest in the universe just to accompany her for 500 years."
"The strongest person in the universe?" Shui Liuli looked at her mother in surprise.
Wang Xinruo nodded to her. "That's right, Liuli. In the past, Big Brother was the strongest in the universe, he had many brothers and sisters in arms, your uncle was one of them. But he also had many enemies, and those people were very cruel, some of them even tried to kill Big Sister Lifen, because they know that she is Big Brother's greatest weakness."
"They are so cruel! They dare not fight him, and want to kill his wife instead!" Shui Liuli said angrily.
"Hehe, even though they tried to kill Big Sister Lifen repeatedly, but they never succeeded, and they suffered at the hands of Big Brother instead." Wang Xinruo said with a chuckle.
Hearing all that, Shui Liuli became even more in awe of Xia Tian, but then she felt strange. "But why does he now have multiple women, Mom? He even has a relationship with Queen Yuhe."
"I know you must be feeling weird about it, Liuli." Wang Xinro then sighed heavily. "If you ever reach the highest point, but then you return to the lowest point, only then you can understand his feelings. In my opinion, he is now a dual cultivator, because only the dual cultivation path can make him improve quickly, so it's no wonder if he has multiple women now."
"I see." Shui Liuli nodded in understanding.
Wang Xinruo turned to her daughter. "If you're really interested in Big Brother, I won't mind if you also want to be her woman, Liuli. Even though he's still very weak right now, but he's still the same as before, and I'm sure that he will return to being the strongest one day."
However, Shui Liuli shook her head. "It's my first time meeting him, Mom. So I really don't know if I'm really interested or just admired him."
Wang Xinruo didn't say any further, and she gently stroked her daughter's head. 'He's a perfect match for you, Liuli. I really hope that you're interested in him, and I'll try talking to Big Brother later.'
