"Is it really you, wet nurse!"
Tan Yun’s voice echoed in the air, filled with longing and disbelief.
Her heart raced as hope surged within her. She strained her ears, listening for any response from the vast emptiness surrounding her.
Moments passed, and the silence became deafening. Tan Yun's excitement slowly turned into despair as she realized there was no answer.
"Maybe… maybe I was just imagining it," she murmured to herself, wiping away the tears that had begun to form in her eyes.
Feeling the weight of loneliness settle over her, she took a deep breath and tried to compose herself.
After all, the mountains below held many memories, but they also reminded her of the absence of those she cherished.
Her heart ached as she remembered the laughter, the warmth, and the love that once surrounded her.
With a heavy heart, she turned away from the edge, determined to carry on despite the sadness that threatened to engulf her.
The mountains might be empty, but Tan Yun knew that the spirit of her loved ones would always remain with her, guiding her through the darkness.
"Uu... Xi'er, it's me... it's really me!"
With a sobbing voice, Guan Feng, now with graying hair, soared out from the mountains and hovered far in front of Yu Yunxi.
Guan Feng was overjoyed and cried, wanting to rush towards Yu Yunxi, but when she saw the fierce demons behind her, the overwhelming sense of terror stopped her in her tracks.
Undoubtedly, in Yu Yunxi's heart, Guan Feng was her family.
Was it the same for Guan Feng? She had single-handedly raised Yu Yunxi after all!
"Wet nurse, don't be afraid, they won't harm you!" Yu Yunxi, with tears welling up in her eyes, flew to Guan Feng's side with her red hair flowing in the air, choking back her emotions, “Wet nurse, I miss you so much.”
"I miss you too... I really do!" Guan Feng smiled through her tears, opening her arms.
Looking at Guan Feng with open arms, memories of her childhood flooded back to Yu Yunxi, where she would often leap into Guan Feng's embrace.
She broke into a smile, leaping into Guan Feng's arms and holding her tightly, "Wet nurse, I came to the Western Continent Divine Domain this time not just for revenge, but also to find you."
"I was worried you might be scared when you saw me like this."
Guan Feng patted Yu Yunxi's back, kindly saying, "Once, you were the master, and I was the servant, but deep in my heart, you are like my daughter. How could I fear you?"
"No matter if you are a demon or a human, you are still my Xi'er."
"Yes." Yu Yunxi smiled through her tears. After a long time, she finally let go of Guan Feng, pulling her to stand before the Great Demon Lord, "Wet nurse, she is the Great Demon Lord of the Domain of Demonic Fury, and also my aunt."
Then, looking at the Great Demon Lord, Yu Yunxi said, "Aunt, this is the wet nurse I mentioned to you before; she raised me single-handedly."
Upon hearing that Yu Yunxi's aunt was the current Great Demon Lord, Guan Feng's eyes widened in disbelief.
She had thought that Yu Yunxi was just an ordinary demon, but she never imagined that Yu Yunxi's grandfather was the late Old Demon Lord!
Gathering herself, Guan Feng hurriedly bowed, "I greet the Great Demon Lord."
"No need for formality." The Great Demon Lord took a step forward, gently helping Guan Feng up, "You are Xi'er's wet nurse, so you are one of us; there’s no need for formality."
Hearing this, Guan Feng was clearly flattered.
"Oh, right." Yu Yunxi curiously asked, "Wet nurse, why are you not in the Imperial Palace but here?"
"Xi'er, it was your son-in-law who sent me here." After saying this, Guan Feng noticed the displeasure in the Great Demon Lord's expression and quickly corrected herself, "It was Tan Yun who sent me here."
"When Dao Qing Grandmaster left you a letter, he also left one for Tan Yun. The letter should have mentioned that you are a demon, as well as the grudge with the Western Continent Emperor."
"So, Tan Yun guessed that one day you would seek revenge, and asked me to deliver this letter to you."
