Chapter 1276: Future Plan

Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy

“There are signs of the calamity, but it hasn’t hit us yet, has it? We can stay here for a while...” Zhan Yunfei was pretty considerate, “I don’t think we have to interrupt your reunion... Haha...”

Ye Nantian laughed, tried to ease the atmosphere, but in his eyes, he looked as sullen as Yue Gongxue.

After all, he had been parted from Ye Xiao for a long time. Even though he was calm and steady, he didn’t feel good when thinking about Ye Xiao’s departure.

That night, the parents and son were having a conversation in Yue Gongxue and Ye Nantian’s room.

Yue Gongxue couldn’t move her eyes away from Ye Xiao. She liked the boy so much that she wished she could hold him in her arms all the time. Ye Xiao wouldn’t agree to that, would he? No...

Xiao Monarch, the lawless man, blushed because of it.

Ye Nantian laughed out loud, “Come on, Xue-Er!. Our son is a grown man now... Are you sure you want him to sit on your knees? That is impossible... Hahaha...”

Yue Gongxue glared at him and replied, “My son! I can do whatever I want to him! I will hug him if I want to! It is not your business! Do you have a problem with this?”

Ye Nantian begged, “Fine. I don’t have a problem. Please. As you wish! As long as you are happy...”

However, she realized her son wasn’t willing to be held on her knees. After all, Ye Xiao was a man, not a kid. Holding him in the arms like that was inappropriate.

The family of three was having a great time talking to each other until late in the night. Yue Gongxue was getting more and more excited as if she wouldn’t be able to sleep.

After a while, Ye Xiao said, “I wonder what you two think about the future?”

“Future?” Yue Gongxue was surprised. She didn’t understand why her son would ask such a serious question.

Ye Xiao felt embarrassed all of a sudden, so he explained, “I mean... as a cultivator... You know... The path of cultivation... Ahem. It is said there is a world, Human Realm Upon Heavens, beyond Qing-Yun Realm. It is where the true superior cultivators stay...”

Yue Gongxue didn’t hesitate and only shook her head. Ye Nantian shook his head too.

The couple gave the same response at the same time.

They looked at each other and understood each other’s thought. Yue Gangue gently said, “We have the same thought. I guess you should do the talking then. You always have a clearer mind than I do.”

Ye Nantian showed a complicated expression in the eyes and said after a second thought, “I used to dream about going up to the Human Realm Upon Heavens... and becoming a legend of Qing-Yun Realm... I never gave up the dream since the first day I went on the path of cultivation until I met your mother.”

He spoke in a deep voice, “After all that has happened... after all the years we were parted... I think I don’t need an influential position in the martial world. I don’t care if I can be a dominator of the world. Nothing is more important than having a happy family of my own.”

He continued in a low voice, “Human Realm Upon Heavens is too far from me. Your mother and I gave up on it a long time ago. Even if there is an opportunity for me to go up there, I won’t take it. We both have been through the days when we seemed to be some pretty important figures in the world! We had that experience already! In my life, I have lost something, but I also achieved something. Asking for more means giving up more! What we have now, the happiness we have right now, is hard earned. We just want to stay together for as long as we can. We want to live a peaceful but happy life. All that we want is to enjoy the rest of our lives together.”

“We have been through so much that we are exhausted now. If we need to live the difficulty at the bottom of the society in the Human Realm Upon Humans... if we need to climb to the top step by step from the lowest level... if we need to bend our knees to face the stronger people...” he paused for a while and then continued, “we just don’t want any of it anymore.”

“We just want to stay in Qing-Yun Realm... in Oracle District... in the Town of Ye... and live peacefully. We won’t give up what we achieved in cultivation because we don’t want to get bullied. We will cultivate to protect our happiness...” He looked at his wife while she was looking back into his eyes at the same time. They looked at each other and smiled. “No, we don’t want to go up there. We have had enough now.”

It was decisive.

Ye Xiao didn’t say a word.

Ye Nantian was only in his forties. With his experience, intelligence, and capabilities, he was definitely a genius in cultivation. In Ye Xiao’s opinion, even Xiao Monarch was no better than Ye Nantian. It was a waste of his talent to give up the opportunity to ascend to a higher realm!

Yue Gongxue was the same. She was the successor of the Moon Queen in Qiong-Hua Palace, which meant she must be a great cultivator. Otherwise, the Moon Queen wouldn’t let her be the next Moon Queen.

Ye Nantian and Yue Gongxue were so talented and excellent in cultivation that they didn’t need Ye Xiao’s dan beads to reach the top of Qing-Yun Realm sooner or later!

However, what Ye Nantian said was the truth in both of their hearts.

They had been through too much and never wanted to live the difficulties again.

Ye Xiao was listening to Ye Nantian and only felt consoled and jealous.

A cultivator’s goal was always to reach a higher level, to break through the boundary between stages. For people in the Land of Han-Yang, Qing-Yun Realm was the higher realm, while for people in Qing-Yun Realm, the destination was the Human Realm Upon Humans. Cultivators kept moving forward!

Some cultivators spent their lives and eventually died in the same place because they had no talents or opportunities. However, Ye Nantian and Yue Gongxue, who had both talents and opportunity, just gave up on moving up to the next realm!

For them, it was better to have a peaceful life in love with each other than going up to the heavens.

“I see. I understand. I know why you would make such a choice. It is also a great achievement to have the one you love and live in peace for the rest of your lives.”

Ye Xiao took a deep breath, and his eyes looked determined. He said, “However... I want to keep going on the path of cultivation. I hope that my parents can support me.”
