After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Going Home

Yun Tiancheng entered and exchanged pleasantries with Old Mrs. Xu and Old Sir Xu.

He then caught sight of a young girl descending the stairs. noveldrama

She was dressed in a simple, elegant light blue dress with a vintage vibe, resembling the style of Old Mrs. Xu’s attire.

Her jet-black hair was braided into two plaits.

Her skin was as fair as snow, and her eyebrows and eyes appeared as if they were drawn, with a soft shimmer deep in her pupils, giving her an air of vitality.

As she moved, the interplay of light and shadow on her body made her look both radiant and pure.

Yun Tiancheng paused—this was Shi Fei?

She had changed so much during their time apart.

She seemed taller, more graceful, more stunningly delicate.

"Dad." Yun Shifei called out.

Her expression remained as pure as ever, snapping Yun Tiancheng back to reality.

Yun Tiancheng suddenly thought, given Yun Shifei’s childhood features, it was only natural that she had grown into this version of herself.

His daughter was truly the most beautiful girl in the entire world.

"Shi Fei, it’s been some time since we last saw each other, and now you’ve grown into such a beautiful young lady," Yun Tiancheng chuckled. "Let’s go home."

Though Yun Shifei had received many compliments about her appearance recently, it was the first time her father had praised her, and she shyly nodded.

Old Mrs. Xu saw them off at the door, and Yun Shifei still seemed reluctant to part.

"Grandma, I’ll visit often in the future."

"Alright, Shi Fei. Remember what I taught you—don’t let others take advantage of you."

Yun Shifei nodded, "Grandma and Grandpa also take care of yourselves."

The two stood by the doorway, reluctantly saying their goodbyes.

Watching how deep Yun Shifei’s bond was with Old Mrs. Xu, Yun Tiancheng couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

If he decided to divorce Xu Ya, would that affect the relationship between Yun Shifei and Old Mrs. Xu?

During this time apart, it was evident that Yun Shifei had been enjoying herself here—her smiles had become more frequent, and her personality sunnier than before.

Even without Yun Shifei saying anything, her happiness was palpable to him.

Seeing Yun Shifei feeling down while seated in the car, Yun Tiancheng said, "You can come visit on weekends."

"Really?"

"When has Dad ever lied to you?"

Yun Shifei’s mood instantly brightened.

She suddenly thought of Cheng Lie—going back wouldn’t be so bad. Despite having to face many people she didn’t like, at least she’d get to see Cheng Lie!

An entire month had passed without seeing him—she wondered how he was doing.

The Yun Family.

Xu Ya and Yun Sisi were already waiting there.

After a month of reflection, Yun Sisi realized she couldn’t continue treating Yun Shifei as she had before.

If things went on this way, she’d eventually be driven out of the house.

Though Xu Ya hadn’t reprimanded her much on that occasion, Yun Sisi could sense that her feelings for her weren’t as deep as they once were.

It felt as though Xu Ya was deeply disappointed in her—it was the most unbearable feeling of all.

She now understood that the only thing she could rely on in this household was Xu Ya’s affection. Without it, she’d be nothing.

How could she compare to Yun Shifei?

The powerful bond of blood ties had crushed her decade-long familial relationship into dust.

Over the past month, she had finally come to realize the fickle nature of human relationships.

Because of Yun Shifei’s return, they could easily cast her aside—it was undeniably heartbreaking.

So, she had learned to be more obedient now.

Just like Yun Shifei—quiet and reserved, yet delivering fatal blows at the right moment.

Only in this way could she gain the favor of others.

These thoughts replayed over and over in Yun Sisi’s mind when she heard Yun Shifei was coming back today.

She was determined not to provoke Yun Shifei anymore. As long as she could outshine Yun Shifei, she’d naturally gain favor—stooping to petty schemes was never her style.

Yet this resolve shattered the moment she saw Yun Shifei appear within her sight!

Looking at the girl in the distance, whose skin seemed flawless and whose bright features beamed with clarity, Yun Sisi felt as if she were gazing at a deer emerging from the forest.

This appearance—no one in school could match it!

She was in disbelief.

Yun Shifei?

How did she end up looking like this!

No... this isn’t right...

Yun Sisi felt utterly unable to accept it.

Even though she had always been confident in her own beauty, the moment she saw Yun Shifei, she felt defeated—completely outshone.

Yun Shifei’s beauty came from her fair complexion, accented by her moderately classical and graceful features and a pure and harmless charm.

But Yun Shifei’s beauty was the genuine kind—bright yet pure, two opposing qualities that merged seamlessly on her.

Yun Sisi could already picture how their classmates would react when they saw Yun Shifei looking like this.

How could this be?

It’s only been a month, and Yun Shifei had somehow grown even more beautiful than her.

This made it impossible for Yun Sisi to calm down, let alone get along with her and stop causing trouble.

She had failed before; it was even less feasible now.

Xu Ya reached out to pinch Yun Sisi, signaling her to greet Yun Shifei.

Yun Sisi snapped back to reality.

When Yun Shifei returned, Xu Ya had repeatedly urged her to take the initiative to greet Yun Shifei and resolve their earlier conflicts.

Yun Sisi had agreed.

She thought after a month of settling her thoughts, doing this wouldn’t be difficult.

Who would’ve thought Yun Shifei would become so beautiful?

When she wasn’t beautiful, Yun Sisi already felt intense hatred toward her—let alone now.

Yun Sisi’s emotions made it impossible for her to voluntarily extend goodwill toward Yun Shifei.

Being kind to her meant admitting defeat—and that was simply unacceptable for Yun Sisi!

Yet Xu Ya and Yun Tiancheng’s eyes were fixed on her, waiting for her to speak.

After a long pause, Yun Sisi stammered, "Sister, it’s been a while. I’ve missed you."

She smiled, but her smile was worse than crying.

Because her heart was aching too much.

When had she ever been this aggrieved? And now, she had to humble herself before Yun Shifei.

Xu Ya didn’t sense Yun Sisi’s inner turmoil; her attention was solely on Yun Shifei.

A month apart, and Yun Shifei seemed completely transformed.

She resembled the way she looked as a child.

It turned out her dark skin before had obscured her brilliance.

Now, with her fair complexion restored, she looked stunning.

Yun Shifei glanced at Yun Sisi but said nothing.

She had no intention of forgiving Yun Sisi so easily.

Even if Xu Ya asked her to forgive, she refused.

Yun Tiancheng sensed the tension between them and spoke up, "Shi Fei is back. Let’s have dinner together."

He and Xu Ya had little to talk about nowadays, barely exchanging more than five words a day.

Yet in front of Yun Shifei, they had to put on a facade.

Sometimes, he thought about how hard it was for his child to come home, yet she hadn’t experienced the love of a complete family—it must be regretful for her.

But the greater regret was that even though they had a complete family, they still couldn’t give her unconditional love.
