Chapter 544: Chapter 540: The Awkward Celestial Sword Divine King Stays in Great Xia

However, Li Ya’s attitude toward Xia Feng at this moment was no longer as friendly as it was in front of Dongfang Changming; she found everything about him somewhat displeasing.

"Hmph, I agreed for you to take my daughter away from the Celestial Sword Divine Domain, but I did not agree for you to involve her in such dangerous endeavors." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

She turned her head and gave Xia Feng a fierce glare: "If I hadn’t come today, would you have been able to solve this trouble?"

Xia Feng scratched the back of his head, while beside him, Li Qingxue hurriedly explained, "Mother, my husband definitely has a plan."

Li Ya poked Li Qingxue’s forehead: "You’re still speaking up for him, truly, daughters are hard to hold onto once they grow up."

Li Qingxue opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to explain something, but Li Ya’s fingertips directly applied a Silence Spell.

"Don’t explain, I don’t want to hear it."

Seeing Li Qingxue’s anxious look wanting to speak, she knew Xia Feng had other plans.

Li Ya was secretly surprised, but she didn’t want to show a good face to Xia Feng, so she directly silenced Li Qingxue.

Moreover, this foolish girl didn’t consider that Xia Feng’s trump cards could not just be carelessly revealed.

Even between husband and wife, doing too much of such things can harm their relationship.

Xia Feng followed behind the two, lowering his head, while Xia Naiwen and Huang Xiaoqian hurriedly came out of the Divine Hall to greet today’s heroes.

Li Ya restrained the coldness on her face, wearing a slight smile, at least not showing a bad mood toward Xia Feng’s parents.

Xia Naiwen and Huang Xiaoqian were somewhat nervous; they had seen the situation outside from inside the Divine Capital.

This wasn’t just an in-law; she was a Divine King, a Divine King who would be stationed in Great Xia for a period of time.

They had never met a Divine King before, and didn’t know how to treat this formidable woman.

What if they angered her, and she just waved her hand and destroyed the Divine Capital?

Li Ya noticed the awkwardness of the old couple and first reassured them: "You don’t need to be too nervous, just treat me as an ordinary person."

"I was impolite to disturb you this time without informing you in advance, that was my fault as well."

"Our families are not outsiders in the future, so there’s no need to be so reserved."

Seeing her attitude, Li Qingxue and Xia Feng felt a lot more relieved.

The tension on Xia Naiwen and Huang Xiaoqian’s faces also eased a lot, as they smiled and escorted Li Ya away.

They needed to quickly set up a Divine King Hall for Li Ya’s residence. Even though she said to be casual, they couldn’t possibly be too casual.

When Li Ya left with Xia Naiwen, she turned back to look at Li Qingxue, letting out a light snort before leaving.

Li Qingxue seemed to have received a private voice transmission from her, and there was a hint of helplessness in her expression.

Once Li Ya’s figure was far away, the Silence Spell on Li Qingxue was lifted.

Li Qingxue turned to look at Xia Feng: "My mother might stay here for a while. Since you have the capability, dear husband, why not take the opportunity to visit other Divine Domains?"

"Maybe you could bring other sisters back, if possible?"

Xia Feng raised an eyebrow: "Mother-in-law just arrived, if I leave, what will she think of me?"

Li Qingxue’s expression grew even more helpless: "Those were her words just now, though she did say a bunch of other irrelevant things."

She didn’t need to tell Xia Feng about her mother suggesting that, considering Li Qingxue’s concession, she should become the main wife while the other sisters should step back.

Sun Yazhu had been doing quite well as the main wife over the years, and the help she provided to her husband wasn’t something that could be explained in a few words.

The other women didn’t have such a strong desire for the position of main wife either.

When they first met their husband, they might have wanted to compete for it, but now the sisters had known each other for many years and were closer than family, so naturally, they wouldn’t dispute over such matters anymore.

Xia Feng didn’t quite understand, as Li Ya’s nature was somewhat overbearing.

If she weren’t, she wouldn’t have suggested him becoming a live-in son-in-law upon first meeting.

Xia Feng thought Li Ya would tightly bind him and Li Qingxue to her after descending to the Lower Realm, but surprisingly she had a private conversation with Li Qingxue about such things.

However, Xia Feng quickly understood; earlier, many Divine Kings were watching Great Xia, likely putting a lot of pressure on Li Ya.

Thinking of this, Xia Feng didn’t know if he should be relieved or more worried, and he took a step forward to wrap his arm around Li Qingxue’s shoulder.

"How long is mother-in-law planning to stay in Great Xia?"

Li Qingxue’s expression became more nuanced; she cleared her throat, seeming hesitant about whether to reveal her mother’s true intentions.

After a long pause, Li Qingxue finally whispered in Xia Feng’s ear: "Mother came down this time mainly to learn the Holy Sword Technique."

"She has no inheritance, and unlike you, a true successor, who can spend a great deal of time teaching her, so she hasn’t even begun learning."

"I’ve already fully mastered the Holy Sword Technique, so she came to me for practice."

Xia Feng paused, unsure what expression to show, while beside him, Li Qingxue had a look of holding back laughter.

Remember, Li Qingxue practiced the Holy Sword Technique for unknown millennia in the Dream Realm Pearl; Li Ya had no such conditions, no matter how gifted, she couldn’t compare to someone with cheats.

Xia Feng hesitated, wondering if he should bring Li Ya into the Dream Realm Pearl to experience accelerated cultivation speed.

Li Qingxue, noticing Xia Feng’s thoughts, shook her head and said, "Let’s not reveal this secret for now."

"Even though you can now take care of the Main God, facing a Divine King is still challenging, and we can’t guarantee that no one will have ill intentions."

"Even though she’s my mother, I can’t ensure she wouldn’t be tempted by such allure; best not to risk it until you’re stronger and no longer fear others coveting it."

Xia Feng considered a moment and agreed with Li Qingxue’s perspective.

Everyone gathered at the Great Xia Divine Capital for several days. Li Ya seemed increasingly displeased seeing Xia Feng clinging to Li Qingxue every day.

Finally, before Li Ya could say anything, Xia Feng took the opportunity to bid farewell to everyone.

"Now that mother-in-law is stationed in Great Xia, I have no more worries, so I plan to continue searching for Secret Realm information and strive to grow even stronger."

Li Ya’s expression was slightly complex, appearing both pleased and somewhat dissatisfied.

"Hmph, just reunited with my daughter for a few days and already off running around."

"But it’s not a bad thing for a young man to have ambitions. Be careful while searching for Secret Realms and remember to share any newfound heritage with Qingxue."
