"How have you been?" Bai Rouyun's eyes softened as she sat down on the bed, and patted the mattress by her side.
The children were still waiting patiently within the Primal Chaos Dimension, but none of them were trying to get out to meet their dad, as they understood that Bai Rouyun was missing him and needed to spend some time alone with him.
"It does not seem to have merely been a few years waiting for you." As she spoke, Bai Rouyun's eyes deepened, and her brows furrowed with a bit of distress.
Although Li Moyun's facial features had only become slightly more mature, the eyes seemed to contain too many emotions and too much wisdom to have been gained within a few years at most.
"I followed Xiao Long to the dragon clan, but the dragons are very proud creatures, and their lifespans are much longer than that of humans.
"Due to the longer lifespan, their progress is also slower than an ordinary expert, and thus they are much easier to eradicate until they reach adulthood.
"After arriving at the dragon clan, the dragon elders noticed that Xiao Long was a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon and not an ordinary three or four-clawed one, so they were eager to make him progress as swiftly as possible, to avoid any accidents from happening.
"Usually, the young dragons will stay within the clan until they reach adulthood when their progress will increase, but even within the clan itself, many schemes and cases of infighting will appear.
"No one was willing to let Xiao Long become a target for those with hostile thoughts, so they opened up a special training realm where the time-flow is different from that of the outside world."
At this point in time, Li Moyun could not help but smile wryly as he spoke and shook his head with a bit of helplessness.
"As you know, Xiao Long is contracted to me, so when he was sent to this realm, I was dragged along. Unfortunately, we did not end up in the same place, and Xiao Long was even unaware of my entry, so he did not look for me either.
"The realm was sealed by the Elders of the Dragon Clan once more, and it would only open when Xiao Long reached adulthood.
"In the Wushi Continent, the time that passed was one year, but in the realm itself, one hundred years went by."
Li Moyun did not spend any time to make the one hundred years seem more overwhelming than they were, but Bai Rouyun could easily guess how many hardships and struggles he had to face to survive so many years on his own in a foreign realm.
She felt a sharp pain penetrate her heart, and her eyes could not help but redden slightly as she felt sore and slightly sour. She had already felt that the few years the two of them had been apart was difficult, but he had spent one hundred years in a small realm before he returned to the Wushi Continent.
She had no doubt that after returning to the Wushi Continent, he had been searching for her everywhere, but only a year had passed by in their time-flow, so she had not arrived by then.
"I'm sorry." Bai Rouyun did not apologize with the purpose of taking the blame, but she still wished to make him understand that she genuinely felt sorry for him. She could only guess how difficult life had been, but from now on, the two of them would be together forever.
"Don't be sorry. Although the years were long and lonely, I now have the strength to protect you. Unfortunately, I will have to visit the Godly Domain from time to time, since I have broken through to become a deity, but other than that, we can stay together from now on."
Unlike the lower continent and the Wushi Continent, there were no boundaries that made the deities from the Godly Domain unable to visit the Wushi Continent as they pleased. Even so, hardly any deities wished to go to these middle realms, as although their resources and conditions were many times better than the lower realms, it was still far from being comparable to the Godly Domain.
"So, you have turned into an old man of more than one hundred years of age? Doesn't this mean that our relationship changed from me robbing the cradle, to you becoming an old cow, eating tender grass?"
As soon as Bai Rouyun's initial discomfort passed, when thinking about the loneliness Li Moyun had encountered, her thoughts once more went in a strange direction.
Bai Rouyun was not able to stay depressed or negative for a long period of time, and although she was feeling sympathetic for the many years of loneliness within the special realm, she also knew that those years had already passed, and instead of being held down by them, they should look forward to their future.
So far, although her current body was younger than Li Moyun, her soul had lived twice, and was thus ten years older than him. However, now he had turned decades older than her, and she could not help but feel somewhat smug. Although age had not been an issue before, it was still an interesting change.
"Oh, no!" However, while the age-difference between the two of them was not an issue, another thing was.
"So far, the first three of my children are already much older than I am. This is quite awkward." Bai Rouyun could not help but furrow her brows in distress as she realized that the cute and adorable little dragon hatchling had become an adult and was now much older than even her. How ironic it would be when Xiao Long called her mother in the future.
