To the Draconic Ruins Realm

Xiao Ning'er looked at the other girls carefully. Honestly, she did not mind the fact that Hong Yue Xian had other women. Take the City Lord, for example, he had two wives. Even her own father had many concubines same as other patriarchs and elders. At least Hong Yue Xian wants to marry them properly instead of making them concubines. The only issue she had was with Shen Xiu.

However, as she heard Hong Yue Xian's explanation of her circumstances and looked at the guilty looking Shen Xiu, she felt her resentment towards her slowly giving way to pity. She remembered all the bad things with a smile as it all led her to Hong Yue Xian, she would never leave him and if he had many wives, she would get along with them.

With reignited determination Xiao Ning'er walked to the girls and bowed to them. "I hope to get along with you all from now on." Everyone was stunned by her actions and words, with the first to react being Huyan Lanruo. She ran up to Xiao Ning'er and hugged her, exclaiming. "I have been waiting for this for so long!" Yang Xin hesitated for a moment before joining them and saying. "Let's take good care of each other."

The only one left out was Shen Xiu, who stood frozen in place with her head down. Suddenly, she felt a push on her back and saw Hong Yue Xian encouraging her with a smile. Shen Xiu slowly walked to the other girls, before saying to Xiao Ning'er. "I am sorry for everything." But instead of a reply Shen Xiu was hugged by Xiao Ning'er, Huyan Lanruo and Yang Xin.

Hong Yue Xian watched that heart warming scene with a happy smile. With the corner of his eye he noticed Sikong Hongyue looking wistfully at the girls. He approached her and whispered teasingly. "If you want to join them, you can, but that would mean you agree to be my woman."

Sikong Hongyue went completely red and hurriedly flew away. She did not know why but her heart was beating very fast and she felt her face grow hot. Hong Yue Xian chuckled at her panicked escape and waited for the girls to settle down.

Once everyone had calmed down and seated themselves, Hong Yue Xian explained about his trip to the Draconic Ruins Realm. As expected the girls excluding Xiao Ning'er were unhappy about being left behind.

"Girls, I can't take you with me. However, I promise to come back in two years time. I will make a foothold there first, so that I can bring you all there in the future, alright? Besides there are a lot of things needed to be done in Glory City. Ruo'er, you will be in charge of the Immortal Wine Merchant House. Do what you think is best. I trust you. No matter what you do, you don't have to worry about the Snow Wind Family as I already got Lord Ye Mo's support for it, though don't tell anyone, including him."

"Yang Xin can help out from time to time but I am sure she will be busy with Alchemist Association duties. Shen Xiu and Sikong Hongyue will be in charge of scouting and hunting the demon beasts in the St. Ancestral Mountains, just like we did before. But be very careful all of you, alright? Now Ruo'er and Ning'er, these are the essence pellets to increase your dads' cultivations." Instructed Hong Yue Xian.

Xiao Ning'er looked bewilderedly at the essence pellets, when Huyan Lanruo leaned in and whispered in her ear, making Xiao Ning'er gasp in shock. She looked at Hong Yue Xian and saw his sheepish smile. She snorted charmingly to tell him that she held a grudge for not telling her about the pellets before.

Hong Yue Xian knew there was going to be a long talk tonight, but it was inevitable. He discussed many things with the girls during the last few weeks. He also gave his dad two essence pellets, one Legend rank and one Demigod rank, almost giving the latter a heart attack. Hong Yue Xian spent the last days alternating between his little harem and his family, until the day of departure came.

Finally, the agreed three months passed and the whole group gathered again for a trip to Nether Realm. A few days later Hong Yue Xian arrived once more on the ninth floor of the Nine-Layered Deathlands. When almost everyone was present the Nether Master appeared with Xiao Yu. Shortly, vortexes started to appear, which led to the various sects of the Draconic Ruins Realm.

Soon the ambassador for the Heavenly Note Sect appeared and asked Ye Ziyun, Xiao Ning'er and Xiao Xue to follow her. Hong Yue Xian embraced Xiao Ning'er lovingly and whispered. "Take care." "En. You too. I do not mind if you have other girls but I want you to always be honest with me about them, ok?" Said Xiao Ning'er quietly. "I promise." Replied Hong Yue Xian resolutely.

At last the girls waved their hands in farewell and stepped into the vortex, teleporting away. Shortly, it was Du Ze's turn, leaving only Nie Li, Lu Piao, Hong Yue Xian and Duan Jian. After a few moments an elder arrived and looked around. Seeing only Duan Jian he frowned.

Nie Li observed the surroundings but could not find Demon Lord anywhere. He felt relieved and excited as the words spoken to Lord Ye Mo about Demon Lord's demise were most likely true. That was great news, however, at the same time it begged the question who was that secret expert. Nie Li could not help but frown in confusion and uncertainty.

"The portal is here, if you do not go now, you will miss the chance." Said the Nether Master to the elder, who had an ugly expression on his face. Finally, the elder nodded and called Duan Jian over before stepping into the vortex with a gloomy mood.

It was just them left now. The Nether Master talked about the Divine Feathers Sect for a bit and explained that he can't leave, instead Xiao Yu would take them. Hearing that, Nie Li gifted him a pouch. Hong Yue Xian followed Xiao Yu and the four of them flew up into the vortex.

'Draconic Ruins Realm! Here I come!' Exclaimed Hong Yue Xian in his mind as he disappeared into the portal.
