Otherworldly-Cultivator

Chapter 491 Talk With Xue Lan

"Can you take me to see them?"

"Hmm?" Sun Xing'er wanted to reject Bai Lanhua, but Chen Li asked her to bring her into their residence. "Let's go in."

Bai Lanhua let out a sigh of relief and followed Sun Xing'er in, but she was surprised after she saw so many people inside, and most of them were women. Besides, he could sense Chen Li's yang qi was within the bodies of most of them. 'Emperor Long had many women in his past life, and he also has many women in this life.'

Seeing Bai Lanhua's arrival, the people from the Yu and Qing Clans immediately said goodbye to them, and they left the residence in a hurry.

However, Bai Lanhua frowned when she saw Chen Li standing opposite Xue Lan, and their behavior seemed strange. Not only her, but Di Xiong and Zi Gang, who had known her for a long time, also felt confused by their behavior.

As he rubbed Xue Lan's cheek, Chen Li looked at her with a gentle gaze, but there was only longing in his eyes.

If someone else had done that to her, Xue Lan would have frozen that person to death, but she didn't seem to want to do that to Chen Li.

"This is your second life, but your face is almost no different from in the past." The senior cultivators were perplexed after hearing Chen Li's words, as he addressed Xue Lan like he addressed someone younger.

"You... You..." Xue Lan's eyes were starting to get wet.

"In a small realm, far from the realm where I live, I met a little girl on the top of a snow mountain." Xue Lan trembled even more intensely after hearing that, and Chen Li withdrew her hand before looking up at the sky. "At that time, she was about five years old, but she lived there by herself. I asked her about herself and her family, but she told me that she had no family. So I accompanied her quite a few times, and I taught her many things. Since she lived on a snowy mountain and her body was quite special, I taught her a technique called-"

"Divine Yin Scripture."

"En." Chen Li nodded and continued. "Ever since she had no family, she always thought of me as her father, and I gave her the name Xue Lan. At first, she didn't like it, so she asked me why I gave her that name, and I answered-"

"Because you smell like a snow orchid." Xue Lan said that as her tears flowed even harder, not only the senior cultivators were dumbfounded, but Chen Li's wives and families were also dumbfounded.

"After we spent so much time together, I had to return to my realm to carry out my duties. However, her soul is tied to that snow mountain, so I can't take her with me. That's why I left her there, but I promised to visit her often." Chen Li then closed his eyes, and they could see the pain in his expression. "Unfortunately, betrayal and rebellion occurred in my world. Many of my loyal followers perished, and some were taken prisoner. As for me, after I took my wife to another realm to start her reborn. Then I returned to my original realm to wait for the end of my life, so I was unable to fulfill my promise to her."

"Father!" Xue Lan shouted as she hugged Chen Li from behind, and she cried so hard, making them sympathize with her because of her heartbroken cries. "Do... do you know how sad I am? I... I always remember your promise, and I keep waiting and waiting. Even though hundreds of years pass, you never come to see me again. I.. . I want to go looking for you, but I can't leave that place, and it makes me very desperate."

Chen Li let out a heavy sigh and turned to Xue Lan, and she then raised her head while wiping her tears. "I'm sorry that I didn't keep my promise to you, Lan'er."

"No." Xue Lan hugged Chen Li again as she cried louder.

'Hey, Old Xiong, what kind of situation is this? How can Xue Lan and Chen Li be father and daughter?' Zi Gang asked his old friend as he looked at the two people with a baffled look. 'Moreover, do you know anything about his story just now? What does he mean by reincarnation?'

'Reincarnation is real, and Chen Li is a reincarnator of a powerful cultivator in the Five Divine Heavens.' Zi Gang turned to Di Xiong in shock. 'As for Xue Lan, she seems to be a reincarnator like him, and they have known each other for so long in their past lives. However, I can't imagine if Xue Aotian heard his daughter call a young man as her father, and he would probably vomit blood if he found out about their weird relationship.'

'That's true.' Zi Gang smiled strangely. 'Old Xue is too old-fashioned and strange, and he has repeatedly set Xue Lan up with men, but she rejects and freezes them, and this is the first time I've seen her hug a man and cry like a child. However, her mother, Yi Qingcheng, will probably be happy seeing this.'

'En.' Di Xiong nodded in agreement with that. 'Unlike her husband, Yi Qingcheng always put her two daughters' feelings first, and she never forced them to marry any man. However, I can see that they don't have that kind of feeling towards each other, and the feelings between them are like the feelings we have towards our children.'

'You're right; they really are like a father and a daughter. Anyway, I have important business to attend to in my sect, so I'll be heading back now.' After he said goodbye to Bai Lanhua and the others, Zi Gang broke his returning jade and returned to his sect.

Since he knew that Bai Lanhua had something to discuss with Chen Li and the others, Di Xiong brought his family back to the Di Clan, but the Di Sisters remained in Zhulin Zhuzhai, as they were already used to living together with Chen Li's families.

After she regained her composure, Chen Li released Xue Lan from his embrace. "My time is up, so I have to go, or my younger self will suffer backlash. However, you don't need to worry; he should be able to remember more things now, including about you."

"En." Xue Lan certainly understood that. "I'm glad to see you again, Father."

"Haha." Chen Li laughed at that. "Hey, the current me is much younger than you, okay? So you better stop calling me your dad, or people will look at you strangely."

"No!" Xue Lan refused by shaking her head. "I don't care about other people's opinions, and you will always be my father."

Chen Li couldn't help but sigh at Xue Lan's words, and his eyes instantly turned gray again. At the same time, two notifications appeared in his mind.

[Memory restoration: 10%]

[Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Bloodline Fusion: 10%]

'I didn't expect that Xue Lan's appearance would trigger my other memories.' Chen Li inwardly muttered before asking her. "What actually happened to you? How could you die and be reincarnated as a human? After all, you were supposed to be immortal as long as the snow mountain existed, so I felt strange about it."

Xue Lan let out a heavy sigh before she touched Chen Li's forehead, and she shared some of her past memories with him, causing his face to darken. "Five hundred years ago, a group of evil cultivators came to my realm, and they said that they came from the Five Divine Heavens. Besides, I heard those people say that the King of Heaven ordered them to hunt down someone, but I didn't know anything about that person's identity. However, one of them found me, and he wanted to use me as his cultivation furnace. I certainly didn't want that to happen to me, so I decided to detonate my cultivation core, and I was reincarnated into the current me."

"The King of Heaven?" Chen Li turned to the spirit women walking towards them.

Xiao Kong'er told him directly. "After Emperor Long took Xian'er away from the Five Divine Heavens, that traitor took over his throne, and he called himself the King of Heaven."

"Since then, he ordered his people to hunt down the loyal followers of Emperor Long who managed to escape from that place, and they slaughtered many of the weak ones." Xiao Hei then turned to Xue Lan. "However, I didn't expect that you would have such a relationship with this woman, Master."

"I was also surprised by the relationship between the two of you, Master." Xiao Diqiu joined in as she nodded. "Back then, Emperor Long wanted to have a child, but Xian'er was never able to get pregnant, and I didn't expect that you would take this girl as your child."

Unlike them, Xiao Huoli observed Xue Lan carefully before she looked up at the sky. "Big Sis Bing'er, this girl has extraordinary ice qi; even Hanxue's ice qi is inferior to her, even though she inherited your ice phoenix bloodline."

"You're wrong, Huoli." Feng Bing'er then landed in front of them and looked at Xue Lan. "Even though Hanxue's bloodline has awakened, her ice qi is still at middle rank. As for this woman, her ice qi has reached peak rank, and it's thanks to her Pure Yin Physique."
