Chapter 170 - Ready To Visit The Snow Fields

"It's time for you to finally head towards the Snow Fields."

This was the first sentence Li Ming heard as she returned from her morning training sessions, to get ready for the day.

"I can?" She asked the banshee in surprise.

The banshee only nodded her head in reply. But Li Ming was in a panic mode.

"What happened to you now?" The banshee asked as she watched the girl chewing on her lips with a frown plastered on her face.

"There are so many things that I still needed to work on. How can I leave suddenly? I mean, last time you told me that I won't be returning immediately. But then who is going to look after all the work?"

Li Ming looked at the woman with worried eyes.

The banshee let out a deep sigh before asking, "Can you state these...problems or unfinished businesses of yours one by one, please."

Li Ming stared at the banshee for a few seconds before nodding her head as she started, "Ok. So..., umm...the very first one is who is going to take care of Black Jade Inn, Dongji Village, Jing Garments Shop, and the Minghue Tea House in my absence?"

The Banshee lifted her right hand and started eliminating her problems one by one.

"Black Jade Inn, Minghue Tea House, Jin Garments Shop, and the Dongji Village, each of these have one Manager who takes care of the business in your absence. I don't see a problem with you staying away until or unless your employees are not good at their jobs."

Li Ming glared at the banshee but since she didn't have a good response, so she decided to stay silent. 

To be honest, the banshee was right. Both Black Jade Inn and Dongji village had been taking care of their own businesses in her absence. And the people of her three new businesses were also trained to work smoothly in her absence. She only had to make a few adjustments and then it's up to them to take care of the businesses.

"What about the morning classes of the Academy students? And those people whom we rescued from the slave market?" Li Ming asked the Banshee.

Li Ming had turned the orphanage into a small academy. Due to some reasons, she wasn't able to open the Academy inside the Enchanted Magik Forest.

"First, In the past one and half years, you have taught those students of yours a lot of things. Right this moment there are currently seven or eight teams of some of the most outstanding students assigned by you to teach the younger students while they continued their own training."

Banshee gave Li Ming a questionable look as she asked, "I can't see any reason for you to worry about the Academy?"

Li Ming was once again left speechless. Well, the Banshee somehow again was right. Before she could ponder more about it, the woman continued.

"Second, the facilities that you have provided to those rescued people are already top-notch. I think it won't really be a problem if you won't be able to visit the hospital every week or so for the next few months."

Li Ming nodded her head lightly, not able to find any reason to contradict the woman.

"But there's also the Prime Minister's case..." Li Ming wasn't even able to complete her sentence before she looked at the raised eyebrows of the banshee.

"If I'm not wrong then I think you are going to handover all those evidences to General Wei today. The rest is not your headache. As for the children whom you want to save, Zhang Yong can at least make sure that they will be sent to the Academy safely. Once there, the Academy community will take care of them. Problem solved." 

It was like the Banshee had appeared after making sure that Li Ming won't be able to find any excuse.

"Fine. I think you are right about all of these, but there's one more..." Li Ming said as she raised her index finger of her right hand, emphasizing on her one last problem.

"What?" The Banshee asked with a little impatience.

"I'm having training sessions with..." Li Ming once again didn't get the chance to complete her line as the Banshee already started answering.

"Your mates are Immortal Deities and Demons. There's nothing in this world that they can't do. Just go and tell them that you will be leaving for the Snow Fields immediately. They can always visit you there so that the bonds between you guys will stay balanced."

The woman stopped for a mere second to stare at Li Ming before continuing, "As for your training sessions, I think the Supreme Immortal was currently training you on Snow Ground techniques. The Snow Fields would be a perfect place to continue with your training. Anything else?"

Li Ming slowly shook her head in negative. She was out of excuses, but at least she now knew that she could leave for the Snow Fields without any worries.

"Then go and prepare, you will be leaving the first thing tomorrow morning. Make sure that all your businesses, the Academy, and the hospital, are prepared for your absence. Also, tell your mates." The Banshee told Li Ming who immediately nodded her head.

"See you later!"

The banshee bid her goodbye and her figure started disappearing.

"Wait! How am I going to reach there?" Li Ming asked hurriedly as the question popped into her mind.

"Ask your mates."

These were the last words before the figure of the banshee completely vanished from her vision.

Looked like Li Ming had a lot of urgent works to finish immediately.

She took a quick shower, grabbed an apple, and after making sure that she had all the evidence with her, she left the mansion to meet with General Wei and his two sons.

Heaven Realm...

"Your Highness, The Great Supreme Majesty, the Water Immortal is here."

The Heaven Emperor was getting ready for his journey when the guard alerted him about the arrival of the Water Immortal.

A man who appeared to be in his late thirties, but was actually millenniums old, entered the Golden Dragon Chamber.

"Uncle!" Heaven Emperor acknowledged the presence of the Immortal with a slight nod of his head.

"My dear nephew, look at you. After looking at your current appearance no one can tell that you are actually the Ruler of the Heaven Realm and the Guardian of the Mortal Realm. Are you heading towards the mainland again?" The Water Immortal asked as he helped his nephew in getting dressed.

Heaven Emperor nodded his head at his Uncle's question. The maid added the simple golden hairpin in his loose hair.

The two Immortals left the Golden Dragon Chamber and headed towards the Gates of Heaven.

"Have you already found her?"

Water Immortal's question surprised the Heaven Emperor, as he later stopped in his tracks.

"I'm not sure. Something had changed since the last time I visited the mortal realm but I'm not able to pinpoint what. If it's her then I can't waste any more time." He finally confessed his thoughts to his uncle.

The Water Immortal smiled softly as he patted his nephew's shoulder while saying, "My eyes are waiting to see the five of you once again together with that chosen one beside you all. You all deserve happiness and love. I'm sure you will find her soon."

A small smile appeared on the perfectly shaped lips of the Heaven Emperor as his soul gave a happy cheer at his Uncle's words.

It was time when he should finally meet with the other half of his soul and to reunite with his brothers.

"I don't have any problem. We can continue with your practices in the Snow Fields. But can you tell us why are you actually going there?" Wen Guiying asked her as they all sat in the living room of her magical mansion.

Li Ming had spent her entire day taking care of all her important businesses.

She handed over the evidence against Prime Minister Zhu to General Wei. She checked through Black Jade Inn's business to make sure that they won't need anything in her absence and alerted Elder Fu and Madam about her absence.

She did the same with Dongji village, Minghue Tea House, Jin Garment Shop, and the hospital where the rescued people from the Slave market were being treated.

She was currently sitting in her living room surrounded by four of her soulmate and a bondmate, after dinner.

"I have some important business there. That's why."

That's how she replied to the Supreme Immortal's question.

The five Immortals passed each other serious glances before Lord Yueliang decided to ask another question from her.

He was the only person whom Li Ming could neither mock nor could she neglect his words.

It was not because he was strict or anything. Nope! His character was exactly the opposite but probably that was the exact reason why she could never bring herself to upset him with her attitude, words, or actions.

"How are you planning to go there?" The Moon Immortal asked.

Li Ming kept silent for a few moments before she raised her right hand and pointed her hand towards the person who was sitting right in front of her.

"I want him to take me there!"
