Although the words were quite ordinary, they were filled with deep concern for them, which deeply touched the elder brothers. The fact that their sister, whom they had thought was dead, had reappeared in the world was more than enough for them.
"Is there any other way to contact them besides letters?" Feng Yi asked impatiently.
Chen Yu replied apologetically, "The spiritual energy around Penglai is in great turmoil. As a result, communication tools are easily damaged. Even the communication jade tablets don't work properly at times, let alone other small gadgets."
So, besides letters, there was really nothing else here.
Reluctantly, the group returned to the Mountain of Danxue, leaving Yaoyao on Penglai Immortal Island to wait for the couple to emerge from seclusion.
Three months later, auspicious air and colorful rays of light filled the sky above Penglai Immortal Island. A powerful wave spread out from above the island, enveloping the entire island.
"Master, look!" the mermaid in the water exclaimed excitedly.
Gazing up, the God Chen Yu saw a beautiful woman in green clothes with snow - white skin slowly appearing in mid - air. She opened her eyes, and a phoenix flower was in full bloom between her eyebrows.
By her side stood the cold and aloof god with his sword. The two exchanged a smile and then walked hand in hand towards Penglai Immortal Island.
"Welcome, Your Honor!" Chen Yu said with a smile and a teasing tone, raising his hand.
At his words, congratulations rang out on the island.
"Welcome, Your Honor!"
"Greetings to the couple!"
"Please enter the hall quickly, Your Excellencies. Our God of War has prepared a lot of delicious food and fine wine, waiting to share with you!"
The voices of the crowd were deafening.
"Daddy, Mommy!" Yaoyao flew towards them like a small cannonball.
Chong Ming quickly stepped in front of Yaohua and caught Yaoyao, saying, "You're not a child anymore. Why are you still so rash? What if you bump into Mommy's belly?"
Yaoyao stuck out her tongue and said obediently, "I didn't expect it. Mommy, look. Daddy is so mean to me."
Yaohua looked helpless. She reached out her index finger and tapped Yaoyao on the forehead, saying, "You..."
"What's wrong with me? I'm very well - behaved." Yaoyao said confidently. "When you were away, I was looking forward to the birth of my younger siblings every day. Mommy, why haven't they been born yet?"
She reached out and touched Yaohua's belly expectantly.
Yaohua couldn't help but smile. She reached out and took Yaoyao's hand, saying gently, "It will be a few more months before the babies are born. Before that, Mommy has a task for you."
Yaoyao stood up straight and said, "What task? I can guarantee to complete it!"
The task Yaohua gave her was to go to the Mountain of Danxue to invite her elder brothers to celebrate the Mid - Autumn Festival together.
Seeing that they had made all the arrangements, Chen Yu said helplessly, "Are you holding the Mid - Autumn Festival banquet on my territory without my permission?"
Chong Ming raised his eyebrows and asked, "You don't agree?"
Chen Yu asked lazily, "If I don't agree, what will you do?"
Shing! The long sword was unsheathed.
Chong Ming pretended to swing his sword and said, "Then I'll have to fight you."
Chen Yu sighed mournfully, "What kind of world is this? You ask me to help with injuries, take over my territory, and now you even want to beat me up. Where is your dignity as a god?"
On the Mid - Autumn night, a bright full moon hung in the sky. The moon was full, and so was the family reunion.
Yaohua stood on the seashore, looking into the distance. The gentle waves wet her skirt, making her look as holy as the moon goddess.
Chong Ming stood beside her, looking at her back. His heart was filled with happiness.
At this time, Yaohua let out a soft sigh, "It's already this late. Why haven't the elder brothers come yet? Could they have encountered danger on the way?"
Seeing her worried face, Chong Ming stepped forward and smoothed her eyebrows, saying, "What silly words are you saying?"
Several fiery red figures appeared in the night sky. Yaohua's eyes lit up, and she excitedly called out, "Elder brother, second elder brother..."
Finally seeing her in person, the elder brothers' eyes turned red, and they called out, "Sister!"
Chong Ming quietly stood beside Yaohua without disturbing the siblings' reunion. Unconsciously, he took a protective stance and lovingly wiped the tears from Yaohua's face.
"On such a joyous occasion, we shouldn't cry." Yan Ling, as the eldest brother, was more composed. He quickly calmed down and said, "I heard from Yaoyao that you've prepared a grand feast for us. I must have a good taste."
Yaohua stopped crying and smiled, "Since you elder brothers have come, I should definitely treat you well. Let's go."
Before she could finish speaking, she was lifted up by the waist. Looking up, she saw the cold and handsome jawline of the man.
The elder brothers were stunned by Chong Ming's sudden action.
Chong Ming seemed completely unaware of the surprised looks from the others. He calmly picked up Princess Yaohua and then looked at the others, saying indifferently, "Please, elder brothers."
In front of her elder brothers, Yaohua felt a bit embarrassed. She scolded, "Stop fooling around. Put me down quickly."
Chong Ming raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion, "Isn't this how it's been these days? Where am I fooling around?"
Yaohua's cheeks turned slightly red. She glared at him and scolded, "The elder brothers are watching."
Chong Ming just smiled and said nothing. The elder brothers also reacted and showed knowing smiles, "It's okay."
"You can just pretend we're not here!"
"I heard that you're pregnant now. You should really take good care of yourself. Our princess of the Phoenix Clan is, after all, precious."
Under the teasing looks from her elder brothers, Yaohua became even more embarrassed. She wanted to find a hole to hide in. She couldn't help but pinch the soft flesh on Chong Ming's waist hard as a punishment.
Chong Ming didn't seem to feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he looked a bit wronged because of her action. He looked down at her and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
His eyes were filled with gentle and doting looks. Yaohua was instantly captivated. Her heart fluttered slightly. She quickly turned her face away to hide her embarrassment, "N... nothing."
Seeing her blushing face, Chong Ming couldn't help but smile.
The elder brothers also showed understanding smiles.
At the banquet, Yaohua was still angry about what happened before. She deliberately ordered Chong Ming around. Chong Ming obediently and considerately peeled the shells and dipped the food in sauce for her, and even fed the seafood to her mouth.
The elder brothers were stunned. Was this still the noble and cold God Chong Ming from before?
They couldn't help but doubt their own perception.
Chong Ming had always been a person who didn't show his emotions easily. His performance was already extremely strange, which showed how important Yaohua was in his heart.
During the banquet, they talked about how Yaohua had escaped death.
When they learned that Yaohua had voluntarily sacrificed herself for the world, the elder brothers' eyes turned red, "Sister, why are you so stupid?"
When they learned that Chong Ming had gone there three years later to accompany Yaohua in death, their looks at Chong Ming also changed.
