The group's beloved wife: She is the phoenix, she is the king

Chapter 691 The good times don’t last long

Too much smooth sailing may mean a turning point is just around the corner. —Epigraph

"Although my parents passed away early, they loved me very much and taught me well in terms of behavior. I don't think my personality is perfect, but my behavior is lawful and lawless, and I have never been ambiguous with others."

"What I have acquired through my business is all within the legal scope, and there is no question of finding a scapegoat. As for why I don't pursue other people, it's because Nuoxi is the one my heart desires, and my heart can only accept her."

"Uncle and Aunt, whether you believe it or not, I really want you to give me a chance to take care of Nuoxi..."

"I don't want to miss her..."

Seeing that Mr. Fan didn't seem to be willing to give in, Dongfang Junyan's eyes reddened with grievance, tears welling up, but he stubbornly refused to let them fall.

Fan Nuoxi was about to get up to comfort him, but Fan Chenyu pressed her back down. Fan Chenyu looked at his father under pressure and said, "Well... this kid doesn't seem like he'd have any bad intentions towards my sister. What do you think about making him my brother-in-law?"

After all, you'll inevitably run into each other again in some places, so it's best to be forgiving...

Anyway, with his sister keeping him in check, he shouldn't be able to do anything reckless.

Thinking of his younger sister's extraordinary abilities, Fan Chenyu felt somewhat confident.

"Go away, you little brat, you're really siding with outsiders—" Mr. Fan was already feeling frustrated, and with Fan Chenyu's interference, he reached out and pinched Fan Chenyu's thigh, feeling quite disappointed in him.

Fan Chenyu gasped in pain, but still wanted to say something. However, his father glared at him, and he had no choice but to shut up.

Mr. Fan glanced at Fan Nuoxi, closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again, his eyes filled with tears. "Are you truly only seeking what's best for my daughter?"

"Yes. Her well-being is the meaning of my existence." Dongfang Junyan felt a pang of pain in his heart as he listened to that gaze, and said from the bottom of his heart.

Upon hearing this, Fan Nuoxi couldn't help but shed tears.

She seemed to have heard these words a long time ago, and they still sounded pleasant to her now.

Seeing her tears, Dongfang Junyan instinctively stood up and hugged Fan Nuoxi, saying, "I'm sorry, I made you sad again."

Fan Nuoxi buried her head in Dongfang Junyan's arms and choked out, "I've never seen such a fool as you."

Before she could finish speaking, tears began to flow more and more.

Dongfang Junyan hurriedly coaxed Fan Nuoxi, but for some reason, the others could not move their bodies at all.

Only Tuanzi knew that Fan Nuoxi's power was leaking out, and no one else could escape it.

After a while, Fan Nuoxi's emotions finally stabilized, and everyone else felt a sense of relief.

Fan Nuoxi looked at her parents with some shyness, but her hands were intertwined with Dongfang Junyan's. "Dad, Mom, I really love him. Maybe I don't love him as much as he loves me, but I'm sure that my joys and sorrows are always affected by him. I want to be with him."

"He is indispensable to me."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Junyan's heart pounded, and he tightened his grip on her hand, a light sweat beading on his forehead.

Looking at the two holding hands, Mrs. Fan's eyes welled up with tears. "Honey, are you really sure about this?"

Yes. No regrets.

Seeing Fan Nuoxi's determination, Fan's father knew that everything was already decided and there was no going back.

The couple's relationship was thus officially confirmed, but neither of their parents had given their approval for marriage.

Dongfang Junyan was not surprised by this; being recognized as her boyfriend was already a great honor.

Afterwards, Mr. Fan took Dongfang Junyan to a room where old things were stored, and told him many stories about Fan Nuoxi's childhood.

Fan Nuoxi was then pulled aside by her mother to ask her about her relationship with Dongfang Junyan.

Time passed by and evening arrived.

"Are we leaving already?" Mrs. Fan looked at the group heading towards the door with great reluctance.

"Yes, if it weren't for the time constraints, I would definitely like to stay with you for a longer period of time." Fan Nuoxi looked at her mother tenderly and choked up as she said, "Mom and Dad, we're leaving now. I will miss you. Remember to take good care of yourselves and stay healthy."

Fan Chenyu, Tuanzi, and Dongfang Junyan also said their farewells one by one.

"Mom, don't worry, I'm living with my sister now, so I can keep a close eye on that guy!"

"Auntie, Tuanzi will miss you and Uncle very much too."

"Auntie, I will take good care of Nuoxi, so you and Uncle can rest assured. Remember to eat well so we won't worry."

After lingering for a while longer, the group left by car.

Mr. and Mrs. Fan suddenly felt that the house was much quieter, and the two elderly people couldn't help but wipe away tears on the sofa.

"Children always have to grow up..."

"I just never expected this day to come so soon..."

……

Just as the group returned to Fan Nuoxi's apartment, a vortex tunnel suddenly appeared inside, sucking Fan Nuoxi, Dongfang Junyan, and Tuanzi inside.

Fan Chenyu was naturally excluded and could only watch helplessly as they disappeared before his eyes.

"Sister! Sister!"

The moment the vortex disappeared, Fan Chenyu suddenly fell to the ground, tears streaming down his face.

Trying to suppress her sadness, Fan Chenyu quickly contacted Duan Heng and Ran Yun.

The two were completely unaware of this and rushed over, bringing with them the news that Yuan Qing had also disappeared.

About two days before they went back to meet their parents, Yuan Qing, who had gone shopping with Ran Yun, suddenly disappeared. However, for some reason, Ran Yun forgot about it.

Now, with the disappearance of Fan Nuoxi and the others, Ran Yun feels very guilty.

"It's all my fault. If only I had told you before Yuan Qing disappeared..."

"It's also my fault. I thought... they wouldn't encounter anything strange again..." Fan Chenyu said with great distress.

"Wait, there seems to be something on the sofa." Duan Heng was about to say something when he caught a glimpse of a glowing stone on the sofa.

Before Duan Heng could reach for it, the stone flew into Fan Chenyu's arms. Fan Nuoxi's voice came from the stone, "Brother, I'm going to save the world somewhere else. I don't know when I'll be back. Remember to take good care of yourself."

"After I save the world, I'll take my brother to enjoy a life of luxury."

"Who wants a half-grown girl like you to save the world? I just want you back!" Fan Chenyu roared at the stone.

The stone hummed for a moment, then turned into dust.

……

An unknown void.

"Welcome back, my dear master."

A man dressed in shimmering white robes appeared before the still-shaken group as if by magic, holding a large bouquet of flowers.

The person before her was truly beautiful, standing over eight feet tall. She bent slightly, looking at Fan Nuoxi with eyes full of joy, which softened her alluring face.

The moment this person appeared, Dongfang Junyan felt a tickle all over his body and tried to protect Fan Nuoxi behind him, but he was easily frozen in place.

Fan Nuoxi frowned slightly. "Who are you?"

The scent emanating from him seemed familiar, as if we had encountered it somewhere before.

The man sighed softly and slowly straightened up. "Master, I thought you would remember me when you saw my face... It seems I'm not that important to you!"

"You heartless little thing, didn't you mention my name to your master?" The man said angrily, bending down and ruffling the hair on Tuanzi's forehead.

Tuanzi immediately reached out to scratch him, but his big hand pressed down on her little head. "You messed up the hair that my dear master combed for me. You're such a bad guy!"

The man straightened up somewhat guiltily, cleared his throat, and said, "My little ancestor, I was wrong!"

Tuanzi pinched the man's calf hard, causing him to wince in pain. If he weren't so concerned about his image, he would have been bending over and rubbing his leg right now.

Upon seeing the interaction between the large and small figures, Fan Nuoxi seemed to understand the newcomer's identity. "You're that strange tentacle monster?"

The man pursed his lips. "I'm not a tentacle monster..."

"Ahem, dear master, let me introduce myself. My name is Qu Kuo." After introducing himself, Qu Kuo even used magic to write his name in simplified Chinese characters in a crooked and messy way. Before he even finished writing, his face turned completely red.

Waaah, my handwriting is so ugly! If my owner hadn't suddenly come back, I could have practiced it for a while longer!
