The Untamed: Wei Wuxian Reborn as a Child

Chapter 173 Return

In a tranquil valley, Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji, and the four divine beasts—the Vermillion Bird, the White Tiger, the Black Tortoise, and the Azure Dragon—gathered. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, creating patches of light.

Qinglong spoke first, his voice steady and powerful: "Suzaku, Baihu, and Xuanwu, why did you choose to be with Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji?"

The Vermillion Bird flapped its wings and a clear voice rang out, "Because they need us to restore the world of cultivation and make it complete. That's why they are looking for us."

Qinglong nodded slightly, a look of deep thought in his eyes. After a moment, he said, "If that's the case, I'll go with you. I'll leave a wisp of my consciousness here to guard."

Upon hearing this, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji immediately bowed respectfully and said in unison, "Thank you very much!"

Baihu looked at Wei Wuxian and said impatiently, "Wei Wuxian, don't get serious about this. You're fine as before!"

Wei WuXian's eyes widened, and he immediately retorted, "How am I being disrespectful? This is polite, okay?"

And so, the two began their usual bickering. Skylark fluttered its wings cheerfully, seemingly accustomed to the scene. Xuanwu, on the other hand, remained composed, watching them quietly.

Qinglong was surprised, thinking to himself: When has Baihu ever been at a disadvantage in a quarrel? This Wei Wuxian is truly a remarkable person, able to make Baihu lose face.

Lan Wangji frowned slightly, pulled Wei Wuxian and said, "Alright Wei Ying, let's rest for a night. We should go back tomorrow."

Wei Wuxian immediately nodded obediently: "Okay, Lan Zhan."

Qinglong was even more shocked. He didn't expect Wei Wuxian to be so obedient.

Wei Wuxian looked at Qinglong's expression and explained with a smile, "Senior Qinglong, I will naturally listen to what Lan Zhan says."

Qinglong nodded slightly, and had a deeper understanding of the relationship between Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji.

Afterwards, Wei Wuxian placed the four divine beasts into the storage space and walked towards the nearby inn with Lan Wangji.

Entering the inn, Wei Wuxian found a seat by the window, looked out at the scenery, and said, "Lan Zhan, with the help of the four divine beasts this time, our hope of restoring the world of cultivation is much greater."

Lan Wangji sat down opposite him, poured a cup of tea, and said softly, "Don't take it lightly."

Wei WuXian curled his lips. “I know, Second Brother Lan. But we can’t always be so nervous.”

Lan Wangji raised his eyes slightly and looked at Wei Wuxian: "On the road of cultivation, you must proceed with caution."

Wei WuXian chuckled, "Alright, alright, I get it. Second Brother Lan, how do you think we should tell everyone when we get back?"

Lan Wangji thought for a moment and said, "Tell me the truth."

Wei WuXian nodded: "Indeed, with the Four Divine Beasts here, everyone will surely be confident."

As they were talking, Baihu's voice echoed in Wei Wuxian's mind: "Wei Wuxian, don't get carried away. Restoring the world of cultivation is not that easy."

Wei Wuxian responded in his mind, "I get it, Big Cat. When have I, Wei Wuxian, ever been afraid of anything?"

Baihu snorted: "Just keep talking tough."

Wei Wuxian smiled and ignored Baihu. He turned to look at Lan Wangji and said, "Lan Zhan, when we restore the world of cultivation, we must celebrate properly."

Lan Wangji looked at him with a hint of tenderness in his eyes: "Okay."

Wei WuXian began to imagine the future again: "Then we can travel together and have fun."

Lan Wangji raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Yeah."

At this time, the inn's waiter came over and asked, "What would you like to order, sirs?"

Wei Wuxian casually ordered a few dishes, asked for a pot of wine, then leaned back in his chair and continued chatting with Lan Wangji.

"Lan Zhan, how long do you think it will take for the cultivation world to recover?" Wei Wuxian asked.

Lan Wangji shook his head: "I don't know."

Wei WuXian sighed, "True, this can't be rushed. However, I believe we can succeed."

Lan Wangji looked at Wei Wuxian's determined eyes and his heart was filled with confidence.

After a while, all the dishes were served. Wei Wuxian said as he ate, "This tastes pretty good, Lan Zhan, try it."

Lan Wangji picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, tasted it, and nodded slightly.

Wei WuXian began to talk about the four divine beasts again: "The Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Azure Dragon—each one of them is very powerful. With them around, we're even more powerful."

Lan Wangji said softly, "Don't be too dependent."

Wei WuXian smiled: "I know, Brother Lan. We still have to rely on our own strength."

After dinner, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji returned to their room. Wei Wuxian lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling, and said, "Lan Zhan, I wonder what will happen when we go back tomorrow."

Lan Wangji sat aside, looking at him quietly, and said, "No matter what happens, we will face it together."

Wei WuXian felt a warm feeling in his heart and said with a smile, "Okay, with Brother Lan Er here, I'm not afraid of anything."

They just stayed there quietly, enjoying the moment of peace.

However, Wei Wuxian's thoughts were restless. He thought that the road to restoring the world of cultivation would surely be filled with difficulties and obstacles, but he would not back down. Together with Lan Wangji, he would lead the four divine beasts and work hard for the future of the world of cultivation.

Wei Wuxian drifted off to sleep before he knew it. In his dream, he saw the restored world of cultivation, where people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the hundreds of immortal sects coexisted harmoniously. He and Lan Wangji strolled hand in hand among the mountains and rivers, their faces filled with happy smiles.

The next morning, Wei Wuxian was woken up by Lan Wangji. They packed their things and prepared to return home.

After walking out of the inn, Wei Wuxian stretched and said, "Lan Zhan, let's go."

Lan Wangji nodded slightly, and they flew off on their swords towards the Cloud Recesses.
