Yang Feilong's residence was next door to Luo Xiangning's.
This was arranged when accommodations were being made, at Luo Xiangning's request. The Luo family patriarch had no objections, as Luo Xiangning was the only one in the Luo family familiar with Yang Feilong, and she was the one who invited him.
Upon entering the room.
Luo Xiangning's suppressed affection could no longer be held back. She embraced Yang Feilong, murmuring, "Husband, I missed you."
Seeing Luo Xiangning's demeanor, Yang Feilong felt relieved. He had previously worried that she was putting on an act, thinking that she might want to end their relationship after the past few days felt too absurd to her.
Now, it seemed that wasn't the case?
"I missed my wife too," Yang Feilong said softly, holding her.
At this moment, he could feel Luo Xiangning's deep affection for him.
Unconsciously, the two found themselves in their familiar bed. Indeed, a day apart felt like three autumns, and this period of time had felt quite long.
...
After a long while.
"Aren't you going back?" Yang Feilong blinked, rubbing a large dough ball, and said softly.
"Mm, we're cultivating, aren't we?" Luo Xiangning's face was slightly flushed as she raised her fair cheeks to look at Yang Feilong.
"You're right, we are cultivating." Yang Feilong nodded in agreement.
The reasoning was impeccable.
Of course, most people wouldn't think too deeply about it.
"Do you think my grandfather can break through to the Innate realm?" Luo Xiangning asked Yang Feilong hopefully.
"If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to break through, but I can't be completely sure," Yang Feilong said softly. "Of course, the possibility of breakthrough is quite high. The elders of the Xiao and Yang families both broke through successfully before, so I imagine our grandfather should be no exception."
"Huh?" Luo Xiangning was stunned for a moment, then her face flushed: "That's *my* grandfather, not yours."
"Oh?" Yang Feilong looked at Luo Xiangning with displeasure.
"If my grandfather knew he was suddenly a generation younger, he might... be furious," Luo Xiangning giggled.
"You have to understand, emotionally, relationships within three generations are still close. Beyond that, the ties aren't as strong. He might even be happy," Yang Feilong shrugged. "After all, I'm so outstanding, aren't I?"
"Pah, I've never seen anyone praise themselves like that." Luo Xiangning pouted.
"Then you're simply inexperienced," Yang Feilong chuckled.
"Even your dad isn't as thick-skinned as you are," Luo Xiangning said with a smile.
"We were having a good conversation, why bring up my dad? Don't you feel awkward?" Yang Feilong said helplessly.
"If I'm not awkward, why should you be?" Luo Xiangning huffed. "I used to call you 'gege,' but now I call you 'shushu'."
"You'll have to call me 'Dad' in the future," Yang Feilong grunted.
"Husband, are you angry?" Luo Xiangning rubbed her chin against Yang Feilong's, saying with amusement.
"Angry? Not to that extent." Yang Feilong shaped the dough into various forms, speaking calmly.
Luo Xiangning pursed her lips, her breathing becoming slightly heavier: "Husband, I..."
Her complexion was exceptionally rosy, and there seemed to be a certain longing in her eyes.
Yang Feilong understood.
...
The night passed quickly.
Yang Feilong felt refreshed. Although his cultivation hadn't broken through overnight, he had touched upon the bottlenecks of the next major realms in all three cultivation paths.
When he left the mountain in early May, Yang Feilong had never imagined that in over half a year, he would improve so much. Not only had his Qi Refining cultivation reached the seventh level perfection, but he had also embarked on the paths of ancient martial arts and supernatural abilities, achieving dual seventh-tier perfection in supernatural abilities and seventh-level perfection in ancient martial arts.
In fact, before leaving the Yang family, Yang Feilong had considered sparring with his father again. But in the end, he decided against it. If defeating his father would make him happy, filling him with the sentiment of the student surpassing the master, it might also bring him a sense of helplessness or even dejection. He had only been in the Innate realm for a short while before his son surpassed him.
Thinking about it, it was the New Year, and he didn't want to cause his father so many emotional fluctuations.
The Luo family's Old Ancestor successfully broke through on the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month!
"He actually broke through!"
"Our Luo family finally has an Innate!"
"This is too good! With an Innate realm expert, our Luo family will be a top-tier family in the mortal world for the next hundred years!"
"Indeed! Those at the peak of the Venerable Martial realm have a lifespan of barely over a hundred and twenty years. But once one breaks through to the Innate realm, as long as they don't suffer severe injuries, their lifespan is at least two hundred years under normal circumstances!"
"Yes! And all of this is thanks to Yang Feilong."
"The biggest reason Yang Feilong was willing to help our Luo family is actually Xiangning. If Xiangning hadn't been close to Yang Ping Tian, would Yang Feilong have come to help our Luo family?"
"That's true. Before, we were somewhat hesitant about Xiangning getting too close to the Yang family. Now, looking back, we can only say – it was worth it!"
Of course, only some core members of the Luo family knew about this. Moreover, anticipating the Old Master's breakthrough, they had specifically set up an isolation formation around his courtyard to prevent too many people from finding out.
After all, Yang Feilong had arrived, and the Luo family's Old Master broke through. Coupled with the previous case of the Xiao family, many people would conclude that Yang Feilong could assist others in breaking through to the Innate realm. If that were the case, Yang Feilong might not even have a peaceful New Year!
Furthermore, this was also Yang Feilong's request. Therefore, it was best to keep it a secret for as long as possible.
On this day, Yang Feilong also successfully treated several other important figures in the Luo family for hidden ailments. As for whether they could break through, Yang Feilong naturally could not guarantee it, because even within the Yang family, not everyone could achieve a breakthrough after Yang Feilong's treatment.
Despite this, the core members of the Luo family were filled with gratitude towards Yang Feilong.
After the Luo family Old Master's breakthrough, a small celebratory banquet was naturally held.
There were two purposes: first, to celebrate his breakthrough to the Innate realm, and second, to express gratitude to Yang Feilong. After all, without Yang Feilong's help, he would not have been able to break through to the Innate realm!
After all, many doctors had been unable to cure his hidden ailments.
At the banquet, Yang Feilong was plied with a considerable amount of alcohol, and it wasn't ordinary strong liquor, but rather specially brewed for cultivators. Even with his cultivation, he felt slightly tipsy.
The Luo family had initially intended to have a young woman of Yang Feilong's age accompany him, but he refused. The Luo family's intentions were obvious; their goal was to foster an even closer relationship between Yang Feilong and their family.
At this moment, he noticed Luo Xiangning's slightly displeased expression. That young girl was supposed to call Luo Xiangning "aunt." She understood her own family's intentions better than anyone. But there was no way she would push her own niece into Yang Feilong's arms. If she did, wouldn't she be unable to be openly with Yang Feilong in the future?
Of course, even if Luo Xiangning were willing, Yang Feilong would not accept such an arrangement. He wasn't a stud, so how could he leave his affections everywhere he went?
His relationship with Luo Xiangning was love at first sight; he got lucky.
As for others, he would naturally refuse them if he could, especially those with the nature of arranged marriages or fostering closer ties. He would sternly refuse them, just as he had refused the Yang family's offer to arrange women from their clan for him.
