A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality and I Become a God

Looking at the somewhat dilapidated villa in front of him, Wu Li's expression was complicated. Based on what he knew and his observations of the Nangong family along the way, the Nangong family should not have such a dilapidated villa.

But now it's not only there, it's also Nangong Wan's residence, which gives Wu Li a bad feeling.

Just then, Nangong Wan, with her back to Wu Li, sighed and said something in a tone devoid of emotion.

“My father is the head of the Nangong family, the middle-aged man from earlier, a peak Immortal Venerable expert.”

“My relationship with him wasn’t very good, so I left the Nangong family after I came of age. I only came back this time because he said my mother wanted to see me. Is there anything else you want to know?”

At this point, Nangong Wan turned to look at Wu Li and asked with a calm expression.

Wu Li remained silent for a while before sighing and speaking.

"You must have had a very hard time in the Nangong family back then."

After all, given the Nangong family's wealth and Nangong Wan's status, her living quarters should never be so dilapidated. But the fact that she lives in such a run-down place shows that Nangong Wan must have had a very difficult eighteen years.

Nangong Wan was clearly taken aback by Wu Li's words, and after a long while, she murmured to herself.

"It's just a little hardship, it's all in the past."

“Nangong Jun has many wives and concubines and many children. My mother was someone he met by chance outside. Because he coveted my mother’s beauty, he deceived her.”

"By the time my mother realized what was happening, she was already pregnant with me. There was nothing she could do but beg Nangong Jun to let her move into the Nangong family home for my sake."

"However, because my mother had low talent, the Nangong family did not intend to spend too many resources on her. So after helping my mother break through to the Great Emperor Realm, they stopped interfering with her."

"Because of my appearance, my mother was also unable to leave the Nangong family. However, because of my mother's status, I was also looked down upon by the Nangong family, so I left the Nangong family after I came of age."

"If it weren't for my mother, I probably wouldn't have come back."

Nangong Wan's only attachment was her mother, and her only connection to the Nangong family. If it weren't for her mother, she probably would never have returned to the Nangong family, even if it meant death.

Upon hearing Nangong Wan's words, Wu Li remained silent for a moment, as if his heart had been touched, and then slowly spoke.

"If you need anything in the future, you can tell me. We're friends, and I'll do my best to help you."

"Just friends?"

Nangong Wan replied with a hint of disappointment upon hearing Wu Li's words, but her voice was too low for Wu Li to hear.

"What?"

"It's nothing. Alright, you can continue your cultivation here. I'm going to see my mother."

After Nangong Wan finished speaking, she planned to go find her mother, but Wu Li spoke up.

"I'll go with you. I don't feel quite right; something might happen."

Nangong Wan was clearly surprised that Wu Li would actually speak up. After all, in her understanding of him during that time, Wu Li was just a blockhead who only knew how to cultivate and would never say such things.

But now is clearly not the time to refuse Wu Li. In addition, she had been vaguely feeling uneasy since returning to the Nangong family, but she had not yet activated her Luck Eye to see what was going on.

After Nangong Wan nodded in agreement, Wu Li followed her in another direction from the Nangong family.

On the way, Nangong Wan also spoke up to explain.

"My mother used to live with me, but after I started cultivating, Nangong Jun took her to another place, just ahead, we've arrived."

As Nangong Wan stopped, a villa similar to her residence suddenly appeared before them.

After they stopped, both Nangong Wan and Wu Li looked rather solemn, because they both sensed that there was only one extremely powerful aura in the villa in front of them, but it was clear that it was not Nangong Wan's mother's.

After all, according to Nangong Wan's words, the Nangong family would never waste too many resources on her mother, and the aura of the figure they sensed inside had reached the level of a Celestial Venerable.

"It's Nangong Jun."

Nangong Wan's expression was grim. She had already recognized it; the aura inside was none other than that of her biological father, Nangong Jun.

At this moment, Wu Li reached out and placed his hand on Nangong Wan's shoulder to comfort her.

"Let's go in and see what happened."

"Um."

Nangong Wan nodded with a grim expression, and then entered the villa accompanied by Wu Li.

After entering the villa, Nangong Jun turned his back to them and spoke softly.

"You've arrived."

"Father, where is my mother?"

Nangong Wan got straight to the point without any beating around the bush.

Upon hearing Nangong Wan's words, Nangong Jun couldn't help but sigh, a look of sadness slowly appearing on his face.

"Yuehua, my Yuehua, she fell a month ago."

"What!"

Upon hearing Nangong Jun's words, Nangong Wan felt her heart sink and almost lost control. Filled with disbelief, she looked at Nangong Jun angrily and said...

"How could this be, Nangong Jun? What happened to my mother? She was an emperor, with a lifespan of at least a million years. How could she have perished? Moreover, she had cultivated to the level of a Mortal Immortal during this time. How could she have fallen!"

"Alas, when Yuehua went out to seek opportunities, she was attacked by a demonic beast at the peak of the Mortal Immortal realm. She burned her essence and managed to escape back to the Nangong family. However, by the time I found out, it was too late to save her."

As he spoke, Nangong Jun's tone was filled with sorrow. After all, Yuehua was a wonderful plaything to him, and its demise naturally caused him some grief.

Nangong Wan, however, did not believe it at all. In her memory, her mother was extremely afraid of death, so how could she rashly go to the secret realm?

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. My mother contacted me just six months ago, saying she wanted to see me. How could something like this happen so coincidentally?"

"Wan'er, you have to believe that this really was an accident. Your mother is really gone."

Nangong Jun looked at Nangong Wan, his tone shifting from sorrow to calm, as if he had already come to terms with the death of Nangong Wan's mother.

But who is Nangong Wan? How could she not see that there was definitely something fishy about her mother's death?
