Gao Chen PoV
"Welcome home, Gao Chen."
Her voice was as pitifully quiet as ever, almost like a whisper as she stood a few feet away from me, her pale skin and thin body nearly identical to what it had been when I left.
Except, as I looked at her closer, I could tell that the woman I had married had been... improved, her body losing its impurities and gaining the beauty only a cultivator could have.
Seeing the object of my desires looking more enticing then ever was hard for me, so I instead looked towards my daughter, who was resting comfortably inside of Li Yichen's arms.
Li Yue was growing larger and larger, and a slight pang struck my heart as I realized that I had missed her getting bigger, souring my mood further as I wondered if she even still remembered me...
Though, as she reached her chubby little arms out and said "M... Mo..? Mommy?" I couldn't help but grin, stepping forwards and lifting her from her Mother's arms, staring into her orange and blue eyes.
