"There's also this..."

As the thought crossed his mind, Xu Bicheng remembered there were other matters to attend to on this trip. He flipped his hand and took out two storage rings.

"These are the cultivation resources you two can claim this month as core disciples."

"Since I came here to inform you, I brought them along."

With that, Xu Bicheng raised his hand and gently waved, sending the two rings floating over.

"Inside, you'll also find your identity tokens. Just a drop of blood to refine them, and you can use them. If anything comes up, I can contact you through them."

"Thank you, Elder."

Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang accepted the rings without hesitation, taking out their identity tokens and refining them with a drop of blood.

"There's one more thing, concerning Xiao Ming..."

After the two refined their tokens, Xu Bicheng looked at Xiao Ming, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"Your mother, Lin Wanqing, is outside the sect gate asking to see you. Considering your situation with the Xiao family, I didn't let her in."

"Do you want to see her, or..."

Xu Bicheng left the sentence unfinished, but the meaning was clear.

Xiao Ming's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this. He simply waved his hand at Xu Bicheng and said, "I don't meet with irrelevant people..."

There were no extra words or emotional fluctuations, as if he were discussing a trivial matter.

Ever since Xiao Ren attempted to kill him and no one from the Xiao family intervened, he had severed all ties with them.

If anything, they were now adversaries!

"I understand."

Xu Bicheng nodded, comprehending Xiao Ming's stance.

"In that case, I'll notify you when it's time to head to the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm."

With that, Xu Bicheng didn't linger on Moonwatch Peak. After bidding farewell to Jiang Xuanying, he vanished into the void.

"Hey, are you from the Xiao family in Liuyun City?!"

"Is your father named Xiao Tiance, your mother Lin Wanqing, and your brother Xiao Ren?!"

After Xu Bicheng left, Feng Xianhuang, who had been silent, suddenly asked with a heavy tone.

This made Xiao Ming's eyes narrow slightly as he looked at the female emperor with some curiosity.

"That was in the past..."

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

"Now, I have nothing to do with them. I've returned everything they gave me."

Hearing Xiao Ming's response, Feng Xianhuang's expression changed.

She couldn't help but take a deep breath, her brows furrowing deeply.

Unexpectedly.

The monstrous figure with the Supreme Bone in her memory turned out to be this man's brother?!

Indeed!

In the previous life, in the upcoming Ghost Fiend Secret Realm, the young supreme who competed with a genius from the Yaokun Sacred Land for the Seven-Colored Fiend was Xiao Ren from the Taiyi Sacred Land!

After obtaining the Seven-Colored Fiend, Xiao Ren not only successfully opened a perfect Cave Heaven but also underwent a second transformation of his Supreme Bone, reaching a terrifying level of talent.

He later defeated many imperial clan prodigies, becoming the new supreme powerhouse of the Eastern Region, admired by many Saint Kings and Quasi-Emperors.

But here's the problem...

In her memory, she remembered Xiao Ren having an older brother, but he supposedly died before rising to prominence.

Moreover, the Xiao family had sealed the information.

As a result, not many people knew what Xiao Ren's brother was called.

Unexpectedly.

The brother who was supposed to have died in the previous life was now alive and well before her, even surpassing her to become her senior brother.

Everything in life seemed to have gone haywire!

Could it be that the Chaotic Yin-Yang Scale reversed the cycle of reincarnation, bringing her back to life, and caused significant changes in the life trajectories of others as well?!

If that's the case.

Then many things in the future might be unpredictable!

"What is it?"

"Is there a problem with me being from the Xiao family?"

Seeing Feng Xianhuang's changing expression, Xiao Ming realized something and asked in a low voice.

He knew Feng Xianhuang was a reborn female emperor and might know some future events.

Could it be...

In her memory, something was going to happen to him?

"Nothing..."

Feng Xianhuang shook her head, not intending to reveal anything to Xiao Ming, and casually changed the topic.

"Just focus on cultivating for now. When the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm opens, you can act with me!"

Many things had already changed, and telling Xiao Ming wouldn't be of much use.

Moreover...

Rebirth was her greatest secret, something she couldn't easily disclose.

"Alright..."

Xiao Ming didn't press further.

After all, everyone has their secrets, and a predetermined future isn't truly the future. He just needed to take each step steadily.

"Let's not talk about that. Compared to these matters, I'm more interested in what you're planning to cook for me today."

He waved his hand, a mischievous smile on his face as he looked at Feng Xianhuang, causing the female emperor's expression to stiffen.

"What do you want to eat?"

After a long pause, Feng Xianhuang turned her head, asking in a calm voice.

What must come will come.

Since it was a bet she made, she had to follow through, even if it was begrudgingly.

As long as...

Xiao Ming didn't go too far.

"I want to eat..."

"Stewed Kun with Mushrooms, Stir-Fried Fresh Scallops, Papaya Peach Lips, Tofu with Scallions, and Spicy Kun..."

Hearing Feng Xianhuang's question, Xiao Ming perked up and listed a bunch of dishes.

But with each dish Xiao Ming mentioned, Feng Xianhuang's face turned a shade darker, and her clenched fists tightened.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I've never heard of any of these!"

"Are you trying to make things difficult for me?!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Feng Xianhuang snapped coldly, startling Xiao Ming.

This woman...

Really has a temper.

These were some of the famous dishes from the Dragon Kingdom in his past life, favorites among the Tomato group, yet this female emperor had never heard of them.

Indeed.

There was a cultural gap between him and this world.

"Then just make something simple, whatever you're good at."

"It doesn't matter if it tastes good, as long as the service is attentive, you know what I mean?"

Xiao Ming coughed lightly, speaking shamelessly.

This made a vein pop on Feng Xianhuang's forehead, and she replied coldly.

"What?"

"You want me to cook and serve you too?"

"Do you want me to bathe and dress you before the meal, or feed you by hand and wipe your mouth?!"

"If you don't mind, I have no objections..."

Xiao Ming replied, looking a bit embarrassed, but he didn't reject Feng Xianhuang's suggestion.

"Xiao Ming!!"

"Don't push your luck!!"

Hearing that Xiao Ming didn't refute or reject, Feng Xianhuang's temper finally snapped.

Her cultivation erupted at that moment, and she charged at him like a shadow.

"Bring it on!!"

Seeing Feng Xianhuang make a move, Xiao Ming was delighted.

Last time, he deliberately left an opening and lost to this female emperor junior sister. Did she really think he couldn't beat her?

…………

On the other side.

While Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang were sparring, something was happening outside the Fuyou Sacred Land's gate.

A beautiful woman in a green dress stood there, eyes full of hope and regret.

It seemed she hoped...

That the person she wanted to see inside the Fuyou Sacred Land would come out to meet her.

And this person... was Lin Wanqing!

After learning that Xiao Ming had broken the entrance exam record of Fuyou Sacred Land, not only being accepted as a disciple by a Saint King realm expert but also having a promising future as an Emperor, she found a chance to sneak out of the Xiao family, hoping to reconcile with her eldest son.

Though the hope was slim.

She believed that with sincerity and repentance, her eldest son would forgive her.

After all.

Xiao Ming was once so sensible, the pride of both her and the Xiao family.

Even though things had been unpleasant recently, she was confident that her eldest son wouldn't hold a grudge. This confidence came from her years of understanding Xiao Ming.

As long as they could meet, everything would be fine!

As Lin Wanqing's thoughts raced, a ripple appeared at the sect gate, and an elderly figure emerged.

It was Xu Bicheng, who had just left Moonwatch Peak.

"Madam Lin, please go back."

"I've asked Xiao Ming, and he said... he doesn't meet with irrelevant people!"
