"No... You're not fierce." The girl in the pink dress raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and then continued.
She faced Tan Yun and bowed, saying, "Adopted daughter Lingxia, pays respects to my adoptive father!"
"You... you are Lingxia?" Tan Yun looked down at the girl in the pink dress, unable to restrain himself.
Yuyan, who stood beside Tan Yun, was also quite surprised.
However, she calculated the time, realizing that it had been over twenty thousand years since Lingxia and the High Deity of Chaos had died in the previous life.
Both of them possessed memories of their past life, so it was reasonable that they could attain divine status in over twenty thousand years.
"Yes." Lingxia raised her head and nodded, then looked at the young man in the blue robe who had not yet bowed. "Don't you hurry to greet him?"
The young man in the blue robe looked up at Tan Yun and said, "I, Li Chen, pay respects to my father-in-law."
That's right!
The young man in the blue robe was indeed Li Chen from the previous life, the High Deity of Chaos.
At that moment, Tan Yun looked at the two of them without speaking, simply watching them in silence.
In contrast, the tens of thousands of soldiers behind Tan Yun were completely stunned!
They never expected that the girl kneeling in front of the Supreme Lord was actually the former High Deity Lingxia!
After a long while, Tan Yun turned and said, "Yuyan, let's go!"
"Oh." Yuyan responded, and after taking just a few steps with Tan Yun, they heard Lingxia's heart-wrenching cries from behind:
"Father! Daughter knows she was wrong, please turn back and look at your daughter!"
"Father! Daughter truly knows she was wrong, for over twenty thousand years, daughter has been living in guilt!"
"Father, don't go!"
Amidst her crying, Lingxia kept knocking her head on the ground, causing it to bleed.
Beside her, Li Chen also knocked his head, saying, "Father-in-law, I know I was wrong, please forgive us!"
Tan Yun paused, memories of nurturing Lingxia from childhood to adulthood flooding his mind, and in an instant, his eyes became moist.
He did not turn around, but a gust of wind blew past, dispersing the tears in Tan Yun's eyes. "Do you really know you were wrong?"
Seeing Tan Yun speak, Lingxia nodded vigorously like a chick pecking at grains. "Yes, father, daughter truly knows she was wrong."
"Father-in-law, I know I was wrong." Li Chen said sincerely.
"If you truly know you were wrong, I will forgive you. But if you deceive me, then you will die!" Tan Yun suddenly turned around, activating the primordial divine eye, his enchanting pupils fixating on the two. In that moment, they appeared dazed.
"Lingxia, do you truly know you were wrong?" Tan Yun asked.
"Yes, father, daughter knows she was wrong." Lingxia stood there like a wooden chicken, her expression vacant.
"What do you plan to do for your father?" Tan Yun asked.
"Daughter will repay the debts owed to father from the previous life, and will take good care of father and mother." Lingxia replied honestly.
"And you?" Tan Yun turned to Li Chen.
"Lingxia’s intention is my intention." Li Chen replied.
"What if I ask you to kill your master, Zhang Sun Xuan Qi?" Tan Yun asked.
Li Chen's expression was dull as he said, "I have been reincarnated, and have no ties with the Chaos Ancestral God. Moreover, back then, her purpose in accepting me as a disciple was because Lingxia and I were in love."
"It was a lie that she wanted to take me as a disciple; the truth was that she wanted me to persuade Lingxia to betray her father-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun was quite satisfied with Li Chen’s response.
Then, Tan Yun released the primordial divine eye, and immediately, Lingxia and Li Chen regained their senses.
"Get up." Tan Yun said.
Hearing this, Lingxia cried tears of joy. "Father, have you forgiven your daughter?"
"Yes." After Tan Yun nodded, he asked, "Have you married in this life?"
"Not yet." Lingxia replied, "Daughter wishes to marry Li Chen in front of you and mother."
The "mother" Lingxia referred to was Shen Subing.
