Chapter 129 Return to the Magic City
"Hmm... After careful consideration, I think bringing Xiaoxue back to Shanghai has become extremely urgent and important."
"Now, Xiaoxue's power has far exceeded our initial expectations, yet this level is enough to support her stepping into that mysterious place—'there'," Song Wanning replied solemnly.
Upon hearing this, the Emperor frowned and asked seriously, "Xiao Ning, are you really sure about this?"
Although Xiaoxue's current strength is indeed formidable, her safety cannot be fully guaranteed once she goes 'there'!
Song Wanning nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with the Emperor's concerns, but then she said firmly, "That's right. Although it is not a perfect solution to set off at this time, I have already made up my mind."
When my cultivation successfully breaks through to the God King realm, my chances of winning will increase significantly.
Moreover, as far as I know, there exists a special opportunity 'there' that can help Xiaoxue more effectively harness and control her powerful abilities.
After saying that, Song Wanning looked into the distance, as if she saw a glimmer of hope through the thick fog.
Seeing this, the Emperor sighed helplessly: "Since you have made up your mind, you must do your best to prepare for this breakthrough in the coming days."
However, it is important to be extra careful during this process.
It's important to understand that those lurking, watchful forces will certainly not let such a golden opportunity slip by easily.
"I understand." Song Wanning nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.
Looking at the well-behaved and sensible Song Wanning, the Emperor smiled and said, "Alright, then hurry up and pack your luggage. We'll set off back to Shanghai tomorrow."
I will arrange for Elder Lin to meet you. Your mother has been eagerly awaiting your return!
After bidding farewell to the Emperor, Song Wanning returned to the villa with light steps.
As soon as she entered, she saw Ye Chuxue busy in the living room, so she quickly walked over and said softly, "Xiaoxue, stop what you're doing and pack your bags. We need to get ready to go home."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chuxue paused in her actions, looked up with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Go back where?"
Song Wanning smiled gently and said softly, "Of course, I'll go home."
Upon hearing the word "home," Ye Chuxue was momentarily dazed.
Home... a word that is so commonplace for most people, but to her it was so unfamiliar and distant.
She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had felt the warmth and shelter of home.
However, after a brief moment of distraction, Ye Chuxue quickly regained her composure and replied, "Okay, I'll go pack my things right away."
Night fell quietly, and all was silent. Ye Chuxue lay on the soft, comfortable bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
A jumble of chaotic and complicated thoughts kept flashing through her mind, making her increasingly agitated and uneasy.
Finally, she couldn't resist quietly getting up and tiptoeing onto the balcony.
Standing on the balcony, Ye Chuxue gazed quietly at the brightly lit night view outside.
The colorful lights reflected each other, making the whole city look like a beautiful and enchanting dreamland.
However, at this moment, she had no heart to appreciate the beautiful scenery; her heart was filled with apprehension and confusion about the life she was about to lead in Shanghai.
She had no idea what awaited her, whether it would be full of surprises or fraught with danger.
This fear of the unknown hangs over my heart like a thick, dark cloud, refusing to dissipate.
Just as Ye Chuxue was lost in thought, a series of light footsteps approached from afar.
It turned out that Song Wanning noticed Ye Chuxue wasn't in bed and, worried that something might have happened to her, came to the balcony.
Song Wanning gently hugged Ye Chuxue's slender waist from behind and asked softly, "Xiaoxue, why aren't you asleep yet? Are you worried about the future? Don't be afraid. No matter what difficulties or obstacles we encounter in the future, I will always be by your side."
……
Ye Chuxue gently leaned her head against the car window, gazing at the ever-changing scenery outside.
The trees lining both sides of the street are lush and green, and the leaves rustle in the breeze; pedestrians either hurry along the way or stroll leisurely; the shops along the street are dazzling with their colorful signs.
After an unknown amount of time, the car finally arrived at its destination—the extremely luxurious royal mansion in Shanghai.
This mansion is like a magnificent palace, with its towering buildings, exquisite carvings, and resplendent decorations all showcasing its nobility and grandeur.
Although Ye Chuxue had been here once before, she was still deeply shocked when she witnessed this magnificent scene again.
Song Wanning gently took Ye Chuxue's hand and led her through the spacious courtyard, along the winding corridor.
Along the way, Ye Chuxue looked around curiously, secretly marveling at the sheer size of the mansion. As they walked, they arrived at a spacious room.
Upon opening the door, the first thing that catches the eye is a set of luxurious sofas placed in the center of the room.
At this moment, a young woman was sitting elegantly on the sofa, holding a fashion magazine in her hand, and intently flipping through it.
Hearing the door open, the woman looked up, and when she saw Song Wanning, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the woman rose swiftly like a ghost and instantly moved in front of Song Wanning.
"Xiao Ning, you're finally back! I missed you so much!" the woman said excitedly, hugging Song Wan Ning tightly and kissing her on the cheek.
"Mother, please be mindful of your image."
Song Wanning said with a hint of helplessness.
"So what? There are no outsiders here, why care so much?" the woman said indifferently.
At this moment, the woman noticed Ye Chuxue carrying a suitcase behind Song Wanning: "Oh dear, why is Xiaoxue carrying a suitcase? Aren't you tired?"
"I... this is what I should do..."
"Xiao Zhang, hurry, take the box and put it in Xiao Ning's room," the woman said to the servant beside her.
"Yes, ma'am."
The servant took the box from Ye Chuxue's hands, bowed slightly, and then left the room.
"I am Xiao Ning's mother, Su Yaqin. It's a pleasure to meet you. Please make yourself at home here from now on." Su Yaqin looked at Ye Chuxue warmly.
Ye Chuxue bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Madam."
“Now that you’re back, I’ll go see your father. He specially set aside a day to wait for you to return,” Su Yaqin said, standing up.
"Xiao Ning, why don't you show Xiao Xue around the palace?"
"Okay, mother."
