After preparing everyone's clothes for tomorrow's trip, Luo Bingbing wanted to return to Prince Luo's Residence to see Lo An Lord. However, before she could inform Luo Tianyou about her visit, he came looking for her and insisted that she go back to Prince Luo's Residence immediately to meet Lo An Lord.
Nodding lightly, she quickly used her Ability to teleport back to Lo An Lord's courtyard. Seeing that the lights in the study were still on, she headed straight for the study.
Before she reached the study, the guard standing at the door spotted her. Upon seeing her, the guard couldn't help but exclaim, "Empress!"
At his exclamation, Luo Bingbing merely smiled lightly and quickly approached him, asking directly, "Is the prince inside?"
The guard, still in shock, forgot to bow and greet her, simply nodding in a daze until Luo Bingbing pushed open the door and heard it creak. Only then did he snap back to reality.
However, at this moment, Luo Bingbing had already entered the inner room.
Lo An Lord was deeply engrossed in his reading when he suddenly heard the guard's exclamation. Before he could voice his inquiry, he distinctly heard that long-lost voice. He froze for a moment, wanting to get up and check but fearing it was just an illusion or a dream from midnight.
It wasn't until Luo Bingbing appeared in his line of sight that he confirmed he wasn't dreaming. He slowly rose and walked toward her, feeling a thousand words welling up inside him but unsure where to begin.
"Father! I’m back." Looking at the gray-haired Lo An Lord, Luo Bingbing felt a pang of guilt. She knew that after she and Dongfang Hao left, this father of hers had taken on many burdens, both mentally and physically.
"Just being back is good enough... just being back is good enough..." At this moment, Lo An Lord didn't know what else to say besides these words.
Luo Bingbing rushed into Lo An Lord's embrace, holding him tightly as she said, "Father, I'm sorry! I've worried you."
"Silly child, what nonsense are you talking? What do you have to be sorry for? You are my most precious daughter! Always will be." Though he spoke the last sentence softly, Luo Bingbing heard it clearly, making her feel even more touched as tears streamed down her face.
Feeling the Little One in his arms crying, Lo An Lord gently patted her back and asked, "Bing Bing, did you come back with the emperor?"
Upon hearing his question, Luo Bingbing quickly replied, "Yes, he returned to the palace with Mommy to prepare for our return tomorrow."
"We?" Lo An Lord immediately caught onto the key point in her words.
With a slight smile, Luo Bingbing said to him, "Yes, besides me, there are others too!"
"Others? Who?" As soon as he asked this question, Luo Bingbing mysteriously replied, "You'll find out when you get there." With that said, she used her Ability to teleport them directly to the villa. Since they were used to staying up late in modern times and were excited about being in this ancient setting for the first time, they were all enjoying the cool evening air in the courtyard.
As soon as Lo An Lord arrived, he saw a group of people relaxing in the courtyard. Upon noticing Yingqi, who was dressed in foreign attire, he displayed a puzzled expression and turned to Luo Bingbing beside him, asking, "Bing Bing, who are they?"
At that moment, Yingqi and the others also noticed them. Recognizing Lo An Lord's face, they understood that the person standing next to Luo Bingbing was indeed Lo An Lord.
Thus, they automatically approached Lo An Lord. Before Luo Bingbing could respond, Yingqi cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Lord An, greetings. I am Bing Bing's grandfather and have come to this world with her today."
Upon hearing this, Lo An Lord immediately asked, "Grandfather? Are you from the future world mentioned by Xuan Ye?"
"Exactly," Yingqi replied with a smile.
Without a doubt, Lo An Lord could guess that the other people in the courtyard dressed in foreign clothing were also from the future world. So he directly asked, "Are they all Bing Bing's relatives from the future world?"
"Yes, they are my wife, son, daughter-in-law, and that ungrateful grandson of mine. And one more is my son-in-law, who is Bing Bing's..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Luo Tianyou and Xuan Ye had already approached him. Luo Tianyou interrupted directly, saying, "I am Bing Bing's father. Thank you for taking care of her all these years." With that, Luo Tianyou bowed slightly.
Seeing him bow, Lo An Lord quickly responded, "No need for that; Bing Bing is also my daughter! Everything I have done is what I should do!"
At that moment, Xuan Ye, holding Dongfang Chen and Dongfang Tong, spoke up at the right time: "Alright, Lord An, just relax; we are all family here. Come and take a look at your two grandsons!"
Hearing this made Lo An Lord excitedly exclaim, "These are Bing Bing's children?"
"Father, what else would you think?"
Ignoring Luo Bingbing's words, Lo An Lord moved directly to Xuan Ye's side and looked at the two Little Ones in his arms. "May I hold them?"
"Of course! Lord An, have you forgotten? You are their grandfather!" Xuan Ye said while handing over the two Little Ones to Lo An Lord.
At that moment, Dongfang Chen and Dongfang Tong had just fallen asleep with their eyes tightly shut. Nevertheless, Lo An Lord was still very happy and kept thinking to himself: "I am a grandfather! I am a grandfather..."
Seeing him so joyful made everyone smile knowingly.
Soon after, they began chatting in the courtyard. It wasn't until late at night that Luo Bingbing finally got his consent to take him back to the palace to rest after such a long time of happiness for Lo An Lord.
The half-month meeting was scheduled for the next day. She saw that Luo Bingbing and her group had returned and were preparing for the welcome ceremony back at the palace. Therefore, she felt there was no need to hold the meeting tomorrow, and she assumed that others would also rush to meet their master upon learning of her return.
So, she was not worried about anyone else at all.
Early the next morning, Dongfang Hao went to attend the morning court. In modern times, he had only trimmed his hair slightly, so the ministers did not notice any changes in the emperor today.
However, when they heard that their Empress had given birth to a pair of Dragon and Phoenix Twins and would be returning to Silver City with the prince and princess today, they were all very pleased, continuously congratulating Dongfang Hao, saying, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Best wishes, Your Majesty!"
Lo An Lord had already met the two Little Ones last night, so he was relatively less excited. However, when Dongfang Hao appeared, he still felt a surge of excitement.
Due to time constraints, Dongfang Hao did not address other matters during the morning court. Instead, he immediately assigned tasks to everyone and urged them to prepare for Luo Bingbing's return to the palace.
Dongfang Hao insisted on high efficiency learned from modern times, requiring them to complete their assigned tasks within a specified timeframe. Those who failed to meet the deadline would face severe punishment.
The ministers had long memorized Dongfang Hao's methods. After leaving the court, they promptly set out to accomplish their tasks.
Two hours later, news of Luo Bingbing's return to the palace spread throughout the streets and alleys of Silver City, and everyone couldn't help but show joyful expressions.
The streets were covered with red carpets, and numerous red lanterns hung from the eaves on both sides, filling the air with a festive atmosphere.
Worried about not having enough time, Luo Bingbing and her group deliberately had lunch at the villa before departing. Since it was nearby, their carriage took only an hour to reach Silver City's City Gate.
Initially, some officials were concerned about not having enough time or being unprepared if Luo Bingbing returned unexpectedly. However, seeing that it was lunchtime and she had not yet arrived eased their worries naturally.
When Luo Bingbing's carriage came into view of Dongfang Hao, a faint smile appeared on his anxious face.
As the carriage slowly stopped at the City Gate, the ministers immediately knelt down in unison and said, "We welcome Your Majesty back to the palace! Long live the Empress!"
"All rise!" Luo Bingbing said as she stepped out of the carriage. She walked slowly to her Phoenix Palanquin and took her seat.
Meanwhile, Yingqi and others remained seated in their carriage. Following Dongfang Hao's command, everyone proceeded toward the palace.
Upon reaching the palace gates, Dongfang Hao and Luo Bingbing descended from their Dragon Carriage and Phoenix Palanquin respectively. They personally approached Yingqi's carriage to invite them down and took Dongfang Chen and Dongfang Tong into their arms.
The ministers had been secretly speculating about who was inside the carriage, but no matter how hard they thought, they couldn't come up with an answer.
When they saw Dongfang Hao and Luo Bingbing, the Emperor and Empress, personally welcoming them as they got off the carriage, their curiosity about the person inside the carriage grew even more.
Amidst everyone's curiosity and confusion, Yingqi and his family, along with Xuan Ye, stepped out of the carriage one after another. They recognized Xuan Ye, but they had never seen the others before. Moreover, they found Yijun Che's short hair quite strange.
Just as they were pondering this in silence, Luo Bingbing spoke to them: "These are members of the royal family from the Hidden World Kingdom, esteemed guests invited by me. You must not offend them; otherwise, do not blame me for being impolite."
Upon hearing the words "Hidden World Kingdom," everyone couldn't help but show signs of reverence, especially at the mention of "royalty."
It is known that there are some little-known hidden kingdoms in this world that generally do not reveal themselves. Both their national strength and personal power far exceed that of outsiders. Therefore, after hearing Luo Bingbing's words, the ministers expressed their delight.
Afterward, everyone entered the palace, where Luo Bingbing arranged for them to bathe and change clothes to wash away the dust from their journey.
Once everyone had bathed, Dongfang Hao directly conferred titles upon Dongfang Chen and Dongfang Tong. It goes without saying that one was a prince and the other a princess.
Since it was their first time in the palace, Yijun Che and his family were very curious about their surroundings. Thus, after arriving at the palace, Dongfang Hao sent someone to guide them on a tour.
It wasn't until the banquet was about to begin that Dongfang Hao invited them to join the palace feast.
This was their first time tasting authentic ancient court cuisine, so they were filled with interest and curiosity.
However, despite their excitement, they were mindful of their image for Luo Bingbing's sake. As for the songs and dances at the banquet, they kept shaking their heads internally, thinking to themselves: "It's really not worth watching."
After filling their stomachs, they found it even more boring and cast quick glances at Dongfang Hao and Luo Bingbing. The two immediately understood their intentions upon seeing their expressions.
But since this banquet was specially prepared for Luo Bingbing and them, it would be inappropriate for them to leave early.
An hour later, the banquet finally concluded; however, by this time, they were nearly falling asleep. As the guests departed happily one by one, they sighed in unison: "Finally free."
When Luo Bingbing returned, Nursemaid's smile had not faded at all. She remained unaware that Luo Bingbing came from the Twenty-First Century.
The next morning, Yijun Che and his family explored every corner of the Silver Moon Kingdom's palace. Finding nothing particularly interesting there, he requested Luo Bingbing and Dongfang Hao to take them out to explore the streets.
Luo Bingbing and her companions understood his feelings, so they immediately disguised themselves and took him out to explore the streets.
They were thrilled by the antiques they found on the street; they were not only cheap but also beautiful. Most importantly, if those items were sold in modern times, they would fetch a high price. Therefore, each of them bought many things.
However, they did not carry any items with them. Each time they made a purchase, they had the sellers deliver the items to a restaurant under the Tiger Legion, where An Ruo Ran was waiting to receive them.
At this time, Luo Yi and Yiziman had already learned about Luo Bingbing's return to the palace and were looking for opportunities to see her. Meanwhile, far away at the Underworld Dark Gate Headquarters, Wuyang had also received news of Luo Bingbing's return.
Unlike Luo Yi and the others, he had no intention of meeting Luo Bingbing; instead, he was devising a plan to control her all at once.
They spent an entire day wandering the streets of Silver City and returned to the palace just before sunset.
Because Luo Bingbing was in disguise, Luo Yi and Yiziman searched for her in vain on the streets. Unable to find her, they decided to seek out An Ruo Ran.
From An Ruo Ran, they learned about Luo Bingbing's situation and were very pleased. However, alongside his happiness, Luo Yi felt a sense of helplessness and disappointment.
They all knew that since Luo Bingbing had just returned a few days ago, she must have many matters to attend to. Thus, after learning about her situation from An Ruo Ran, they did not rush to request an audience with her.
In their speculation, they believed that Shadowless, being Luo Bingbing's shadow guard, might have already returned to her side. Therefore, they did not deliberately inquire about Shadowless.
On the third day, Luo Bingbing arranged for Phoenix to take Yingqi and the others to a more distant place for fun. Of course, she and Ivyah also disguised themselves while Dongfang Hao stayed behind in the palace to handle matters like Imperial Edicts.
Once again, they enjoyed themselves thoroughly and returned to the palace before sunset.
The next day was the fourth day—the day Yingqi and the others would return. So that night, Dongfang Hao and Luo Bingbing prepared many items for them to take back.
Most of these were precious jewels and gold and silver.
Soon enough, the fourth day arrived. At this point, Luo Bingbing noticed that she had been back for several days without Shadowless coming to find her. She felt a slight confusion but didn't have time to search for him since Yingqi and the others were still there.
This was their last day in ancient times, so Dongfang Hao naturally accompanied them. However, everyone felt a heavy weight in their hearts due to their impending separation, making it hard for them to fully enjoy themselves.
After only half a day's fun, they returned to the palace without chatting much. Instead, they took out their cameras that had been prepared earlier and captured several Family Portrait photos.
Lo An Lord and Xuan Ye were amazed when they saw a flash from the camera, and a perfect replica of the scene was drawn. They couldn't help but think to themselves, "The things from this Otherworld are truly extraordinary."
After dinner, Luo Bingbing first used her Ability to transport the items they wanted to take back to the forbidden area of Spirit Mountain, before returning to the palace to guide them there.
However, during the second trip, Ivyah teleported everyone along with her. With both Luo Bingbing and Ivyah present, Luo Tianyou naturally remained in this world.
Thus, only Yingqi and his wife, along with their son and daughter-in-law, as well as their grandson, would return to the modern era.
They arrived at the same place where they first entered this world. After Yingqi drew a circular pattern in the center, the spot where they stood suddenly emitted a bright light. As the light coalesced into two circular shapes, they vanished without a trace.
It was needless to say that they had traveled through a time tunnel back to the Twenty-First Century.
They found themselves once again in the Yi Family's forbidden area, where the Large Disc was still spinning rapidly. However, once Yingqi and the others returned to their villa, the disc came to a halt.
The items they had brought back from ancient times naturally landed in the living room with them. When Yijun Che got up and saw that those items occupied a quarter of the living room, he realized just how much they had brought back from their time in antiquity.
They decided to play with those items before selling them; however, those that held beautiful memories were kept as treasures.
When they returned to modern times, it was still nighttime, so no one noticed their arrival from above. They spent the night organizing their belongings.
Since they had left in a hurry, they had only given their servants a vacation without dismissing them.
They spent an entire night sorting everything out. Just as they finished and hadn’t yet gone to bed, the servants arrived for work, including Dongfang Chen and Dongfang Tong’s two nannies.
Seeing them reminded Yingqi of those two little ones; however, they were now in different worlds. Thus, they could only gaze at the Family Portrait hanging in the living room.
It goes without saying that those two nannies were dismissed. Yet, they were given generous severance pay with the explanation that the two little ones had gone abroad with their parents.
The nannies believed them wholeheartedly; even other servants in the villa accepted this explanation, thinking that they had gone on vacation.
Subsequently, their lives returned to how they used to be. However, their memories now carried more longing and concern. Yijun Che's days at home became increasingly difficult as he endured daily torment.
After Yingqi and his family left, Luo Bingbing and her group departed from Spirit Mountain and returned to the palace of Silver Moon Kingdom. Due to their departure, everyone felt somewhat downcast.
That night, they all suffered from insomnia until dawn, and only then did everyone finally fall asleep. However, Dongfang Hao did not close his eyes at all; as soon as it was light, he got up to attend the morning court.
When Luo Bingbing and the others woke up, it was already lunchtime. Naturally, they gathered as a family to eat together.
To make things more casual, they dismissed all the palace maids and eunuchs.
After lunch, Luo Tianyou stayed in Ivyah's palace. Dongfang Hao had just returned a few days ago and had many matters to attend to, so he ate and then went to the Imperial Study.
At first, Dongfang Chen and Dongfang Tong did not fall asleep, so Luo Bingbing did not feel bored. But once they fell asleep, she began to feel bored.
Suddenly, she thought of An Ruo Ran and her own forces, so she decided to go find An Ruo Ran.
When she arrived there, Luo Yi and Yiziman stayed behind to see her. Upon seeing only the three of them, Luo Bingbing immediately frowned and asked, "Where is Shadowless?"
Hearing her question, An Ruo Ran and the others realized that Shadowless had not returned to her side.
"Master, we thought he had already returned to you!" As soon as An Ruo Ran finished speaking, Luo Bingbing immediately said to Luo Yi, "Luo Yi, go to the secret base right now and see if there is any news about Shadowless."
