Peaceful City, Liu Family.
Current Clan Head: Moonlit Fairy Liu Shiqin Guardian: Poison Queen Liu Yuqing Plus two Seventh-Transformation Stone Men. The Liu Family's strength now surpasses even most Eighth-Rank powers.
"Lan An gege! Mengmeng missed you to death!"
The moment the trio landed, little Liu Mengmeng shot forward like a kitten, throwing herself into Lan An's arms. She buried her face in his chest, greedily inhaling his scent, nuzzling like a spoiled child.
Lan An lovingly rubbed her head. The little girl's hair was tied into two cute steamed-bun pigtails, her angelic face absolutely adorable. Her cultivation progress had far exceeded his expectations.
"Mengmeng is amazing! Our Liu Family has a little genius!" he praised with a smile.
"Heehee~" Liu Mengmeng giggled like silver bells, overflowing with joy.
The women rushed over, pulling Bing Lanxi into excited chatter.
Mu Ziyin Xiao Shi Bai Sumei had met her before, so the atmosphere quickly turned warm. They were all extremely satisfied with the Third Princess's beauty and strength.
Seeing this scene, Lan An smiled in contentment. One arm still hugging Mengmeng, he led the group with Liu Yuqing into the main courtyard.
With a thought, he released Bing Feifei.
"You jerk! Finally letting me out!"
Bing Feifei pounced on him, pounding his chest.
" who is she?" Liu Yuqing's eyes sparkled as she examined Bing Feifei—perfect hourglass, proud and exquisite face, Void Refining cultivation. Excellent daughter-in-law material.
"She's Fifth Sister," Bing Lanxi smiled, explaining Bing Feifei's story.
"Ah, husband collected both Ice Profound Empire princesses. What skill!" Mu Ziyin covered her mouth with a seductive laugh.
The women nodded in approval:

That's 21 palaces! Only 3 spots left on the second floor of Palace Tree!
"We live in the underwater Crystal Palace, we don't count!" Hai Ling Long hurriedly added, dragging Hai Wu Ching and Kun Mingyue.
"I prefer sleeping on the cloud canopy!" Xiao Shi said carelessly, shrinking into tiny pet form and hopping onto Lan An's shoulder.
Lan An broke into a cold sweat. You didn't even count the women on the third floor!
Liu Yuqing sat quietly, eyes full of pride. When the name "Ai Xin" was mentioned, a faint familiarity stirred.
Bing Feifei felt like she was going insane. She had seen the Palace Tree—luxurious beyond imagination—and now she would own a palace there!
"Of the remaining 3, one is definitely for big sister Ya Lian Na. Husband only has two left—who gets them?" Yan Ruoxue teased.
"Of course for little sisters Lan Li and Lan Xuan! Second floor officially full~" Nangong Yuan Rong giggled.
"No way, we're not…" Lan Li and Lan Xuan blushed furiously.
The women laughed at Lan An's expense. Even the usually cold Ji Bing and Ji Ya couldn't help smiling.
"Hmph! Worst case, I'll just find a few more luxurious architectural treasures!" Lan An shamelessly declared.
"Right! Mengmeng wants one too!" Liu Mengmeng raised her chubby arm.
The women rolled their eyes. Only Bai Sumei supported him, giving him a sweet smile.
Liu Yuqing immediately noticed, happily peeling fruit and feeding her divine beast daughter-in-law.
At that moment, the Spirit World Pearl vibrated. Lan An's face lit up with mad joy.
A seductive Western beauty appeared in his arms—Ai Xin.
"Husband, I missed you so much… sob!"
"Baby, I missed you like crazy too… Mid Void Refining already? And Early Seventh-Rank Artifact Refiner? Amazing!"
"Hehe, this is my first work after breaking through—your gift!" Ai Xin took out a nearly four-meter-long silver spear—Silver Fang.
Lan An kissed her full lips. "I love it! I love you!"
The women instantly recognised the golden-haired, blue-eyed Western beauty who had just exited seclusion.
"Baby, this is our home!"
Ai Xin looked around… and her jaw dropped.
"Ai Xin greets Mother-in-law, greets all sisters!"
Ji Ya pulled her over. "The harem officially has a Seventh-Rank Artifact Refiner. Well done!"
"Ai Xin, you're from the Ai Family of West Sea Continent, right?" Liu Yuqing suddenly asked, voice trembling.
"Yes… I'm the young miss of the Ai Family in West Sea Continent."
"Do you remember the name 'Iron Blood Pirates'?"
"I'll never forget those bastards…" Ai Xin's body shook with rage.
Liu Yuqing took out a portrait—her own face, once horrifyingly ruined.
"This is… my saviour?" Ai Xin's eyes widened.
"Little girl, I saved you today hoping the heavens would not let my Little Nam down…"
The voice matched perfectly. Tears welled up.
Liu Yuqing pulled her into a warm embrace, laughing through happy tears.
"The heavens truly have eyes. The little girl I saved all those years ago… is now my daughter-in-law…"
Ai Xin sobbed joyfully. "Mother… Mother… Xin'er is your daughter-in-law!"
Lan An wrapped his arms around the two most important women in his life, smiling in perfect contentment.
The women looked at each other, stunned beyond belief.
"It must be… fate's arrangement…"
