173: The greatest opportunity

"You're really my aunt?"

Nangong Yu naturally saw the panic on Shangguan Yuehua's beautiful face, and feigned surprise.

Shangguan Yuehua's expression changed slightly. She wanted to pull her jade hand away, but found that Nangong Yu was holding it tightly, making it impossible to withdraw.

She lowered her head without speaking. No matter how unrestrained her personality was, her eyes dared not look at Nangong Yu at this moment.

Nangong Yu smiled and said, "I've been alive for fourteen years, and I've never seen my aunt, nor have I heard her name. I only knew there was such a person, and I never expected to meet her!"

"Aunt, about what just happened..."

Nangong Yu was about to continue, but Shangguan Yuehua reached out and covered his mouth. "Don't say it. How about we just pretend it never happened?"

Nangong Yu looked down, seeing her shy, timid, and uneasy expression, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

They hadn't crossed any lines, so what was there that couldn't be said?

He shook his head and smiled, "Aunt, don't worry. Your appearance and figure are extremely similar to mother's, as if carved from the same mold. It's not like I haven't seen it before!"

"You... you're still talking about it?!"

Shangguan Yuehua was embarrassed and annoyed, but suddenly noticed something and asked in surprise, "Wait, you've seen my sister's body? Didn't they say that a grown son should avoid his mother?"

Hearing this, Nangong Yu shook his head slightly, "Before I was eight, that is, before mother went to the Sacred Domain, she didn't avoid me. Perhaps it was because she spoiled me too much. After all, from the day I was born, I only had her!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Yuehua's expression froze. "Brother-in-law, he..."

"He fell!"

Nangong Yu's expression was a bit bitter. In truth, if he had been born two or three days earlier, this wouldn't have happened.

However... when Shangguan Yuehua heard this news, she couldn't help but step forward and hug Nangong Yu.

At this moment, she finally understood why she felt close to the person in front of her.

Aside from what just happened, the biggest reason was probably that he was her sister's child!

Her heart was somewhat complex, but then she thought of something and unconsciously felt much more at ease.

Her face was slightly red, and she comforted herself inwardly: He is my sister's child, and he is also my child. My sister didn't avoid him, so why should I?

It's just being seen by my little nephew, right?

Forget it!

Let it be!

Shangguan Yuehua convinced herself and quickly understood a lot, losing her initial shyness and openly hugging Nangong Yu.

She looked at Nangong Yu, who seemed a little downcast, vaguely remembering that she had kissed him before. Her beautiful face flushed slightly, but a smile also curved at the corner of her lips.

Then she smiled and said, "Don't be sad. Besides your mother, you also have me, your aunt!"

"From now on, your sister and I will both dote on you and love you. We are all your... family!"

Hearing this, Nangong Yu couldn't help but smile brightly, "Thank you, Aunt. Mother will definitely be very happy to know that Aunt likes me so much!"

"Mm!"

Shangguan Yuehua nodded, but for some reason, her ears inexplicably turned red when she thought of something.

"Alright, let's figure out how to get out first. Judging by your age, I've probably been trapped here for at least fifteen years!"

Hearing this, Nangong Yu nodded slightly, "Aunt, you've been out of contact for over ten years. Mother and the others were very worried, but they didn't expect you to be trapped here!"

"There was nothing I could do. That year, I accidentally strayed into a spatialTurbulence, and when I woke up again, I was disoriented. I also accidentally swallowed a Medicinal Pill and got trapped here."

Shangguan Yuehua's expression was complex, with a hint of shyness. "If I hadn't discovered that the ice bed could suppress the poison, I would have died long ago. How could I have met Yuer?"

Nangong Yu smiled slightly, "Aunt, doesn't this mean we have a great affinity? Otherwise, why would you be trapped here for over ten years and coincidentally meet me?"

"That's right!"

Shangguan Yuehua smiled and said, "My Yuer and I truly have a great affinity!"

Nangong Yu smiled slightly, then said, "I'll have to trouble Aunt for a while longer. In a few days, I'll go to the Sacred Domain and take Aunt to see Mother and the others. I'm sure they'll be very happy!"

"Mm, I'll listen to you!"

Shangguan Yuehua smiled, neither refusing nor asking further questions.

Perhaps it was family ties, or perhaps... anyway, she had trusted Nangong Yu from the beginning.

She believed that Nangong Yu would never harm her!

When the two walked out of the Seven Emotions Palace hand in hand, all the treasures stored within the Seven Emotions Palace had already been plundered by the other Divine Shadow Emissaries, as ordered by Ying Mei.

As for the treasures in the Secret Realm, Nangong Yu didn't touch them, because there was no need!

Stepping out of the Seven Emotions Palace, Nangong Yu raised his hand, and the seven emotions chaos spirit pagoda flew through the air, transforming into a small pagoda that landed in his palm.

Without the maintenance of the seven emotions chaos spirit pagoda and the Heaven Sealing and Earth Severing Array, the white space instantly disintegrated. Countless Cultivators fell from the sky, smashing heavily onto the ground.

If their Physical Body cultivation hadn't been decent, they would have probably perished.

But even so, they suffered serious injuries and were still stuck in the illusion, unable to extricate themselves!

Of course, except for Qing Ling and the other four!

They received special care from Nangong Yu and slowly landed beside him.

Seeing this scene, Shangguan Yuehua looked surprised. "Yuer, what's going on?"

"Aunt, it's like this..."

Nangong Yu briefly explained the Seven Emotions Secret Realm and what happened after he entered, but he didn't mention the Seven Emotions Demon Venerable's Possession.

"I see. So, you've obtained the greatest Opportunity of the Seven Emotions Secret Realm!"

Shangguan Yuehua nodded slightly and smiled.

Nangong Yu, however, smiled faintly and shook his head, "No, for me, the greatest Opportunity of the Seven Emotions Secret Realm isn't the seven emotions chaos spirit pagoda!"

"Oh?"

Shangguan Yuehua looked at Nangong Yu in surprise, but Nangong Yu smiled and said, "For me, entering the Seven Emotions Secret Realm and meeting Aunt is my greatest Opportunity!"

"Hehehe, such a smooth talker!"

Shangguan Yuehua's silver bell-like laughter rang out, her beautiful face full of smiles. Her hand, holding Nangong Yu's, did not loosen; instead, it tightened slightly.

Nangong Yu smiled. He was indeed not wrong; compared to a Dao Artifact, having another family member who doted on him and loved him was indeed his greatest Opportunity!

After Shangguan Yuehua finished laughing, she looked at the five people standing by, their expressions dazed. "Yuer, these five people must have something special about them, right?"

Nangong Yu nodded slightly, "Aunt, two of these five are my maids, two are my spirit pets, and one is currently my friend!"

Shangguan Yuehua nodded slightly, but then asked in confusion, "Looking at them, they haven't escaped the illusion yet. Didn't you take control of the seven emotions chaos spirit pagoda?"

Nangong Yu smiled slightly and said, "Their cultivation has risen too quickly, and their Heart-Nature is too poor. It's better to let them temper their Heart-Nature!"

At this point, Nangong Yu blinked, looked at Shangguan Yuehua, and asked with a smile, "Aunt, do you want to try entering the illusion of the seven emotions chaos spirit pagoda?"
