Due to the coachman brother's series of magical operations, our Shen · Great Marshal · Ladies' Man · Genius could only bitterly walk alone towards the direction of home.
But fortunately, there were no more soul beasts encountered along the way, only occasionally running into one or two tall and sturdy great soul masters robbing on the road.
Upholding the kindness of a contemporary college student, Shen Hanyu directly physically transcended them on behalf of Buddha, letting them happily go to another paradise.
Doing good deeds without leaving a name, only I, Shen the Great Ladies' Man.
Fortunately, he had already walked nearly sixty percent of the journey in the first half of the day, and now it wasn't far from Four Seasons City. If he hurried with all his might, he could probably arrive around noon, um... just in time for lunch.
The road home always brings a myriad of thoughts, and Shen Hanyu felt a bit uneasy, always sensing some restlessness.
When he ran away earlier, although he left a letter, his mother couldn't possibly worry about him. His father, too, was clearly such a powerful Soul Emperor, yet in front of his mother, he was like a quail, not daring to say a harsh word, a complete severe case of wife-fearing.
Speaking of this gave Shen Hanyu a headache. The views on love in the Douluo Continent really seemed to have some serious illness.
Not to mention the sibling love in the Haotian Sect, oh, it was just one-sided; Tang Hao seemed not to like his sister.
Then there was the group of love-brained + simp dogs in the Spirit Hall, simply a bunch of idiots. In other words, even if Hua Tuo came, he couldn't save them; each one was just...
And the Tang family, starting from Tang Hao with their human-beast romances, from grass to rabbit, then from dragon to shark, they could simply open a zoo...
But you couldn't say their tastes were bad; at least the ones they chose were top beauties + geniuses. After all, with the lights off, they're all the same; maybe it's even more exciting...
The infamous name of the Love Continent was something even he, who didn't watch much anime in his previous life, had heard of; it was famous across half the sky.
Thinking of these ridiculous plots, Shen Hanyu couldn't help but get goosebumps all over, almost wanting to grab his Cold Heaven Spear and poke those simp love-brains with a hundred or eighty transparent holes.
Enough said, otherwise afraid of the real version Fang Yuan real protagonist...
.........
Four Seasons City, as a small city near the four-element cities, although the climate wasn't as harsh as the extreme north, it was still in the extreme north region. It would snow in winter, but at least it wasn't that extreme; it could only be said to be normal weather.
There were no overly powerful sects or families in the city. Besides the Shen family dominating alone, there were two Soul King families, but their martial souls weren't outstanding. Without producing a genius, they'd probably be like this for life.
As the saying goes, the rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutation; this has a factual basis.
Entering Four Seasons City only required paying one copper soul coin, and there weren't many restrictions; it was a very free and peaceful small city.
Walking through the city gate, seeing the familiar streets and shops, Shen Hanyu couldn't help but stretch comfortably, as if the dust and fatigue from the journey didn't exist.
Sometimes, returning from a long journey only to find your hometown has changed beyond recognition is a tragedy, but fortunately, this tragedy didn't happen to Shen Hanyu.
Arriving at the gate of the Shen family's manor, Shen Hanyu looked nostalgically at this red wooden gate, which still bore the scars from when he practiced spear techniques as a child.
The two servants standing outside the gate noticed Shen Hanyu, who stood out like a crane among chickens in the crowd. One bolder one stepped forward a few steps, somewhat disbelievingly asking:
"Young Master Yu... is it you?"
Shen Hanyu nodded, smiling as he said:
"Little Six Bro, what, you don't recognize me after three years?"
Liu Six trembled all over, then excitedly said:
"My goodness, Young Master Yu, you've finally returned. You don't know, after you left, the master and madam were heartbroken for a long time. The young miss too; for a good while, she wouldn't eat every day, making a fuss to go find you..."
Shen Hanyu waved his hand, saying:
"Back then, I didn't want to stay home forever; I wanted to go out and train. Now that I'm back, some things should be properly explained to the two elders. Little Six Bro, go notify the kitchen later to make more food. I encountered soul beasts on the way and almost starved to death..."
Liu Six nodded with a smile, hurriedly welcoming Shen Hanyu towards the main hall.
In the main hall, a dignified and elegant woman was sitting in the head seat. Time hadn't left traces on her beautiful face; instead, it added a touch of mature charm.
Behind her, a middle-aged man in a white robe was smilingly massaging her shoulders. The middle-aged man had several obvious wrinkles on his face, but one could still see the dashing air from his youth.
And a little potato-like lolita was sitting on a soft stool nearby, eating pastries. Her cute little face was stuffed full of pastries, bulging out, very endearing.
The scene Shen Hanyu saw upon entering the hall was this.
Shen Junhe was the first to see Shen Hanyu. For a moment, he not only stopped his hands' movements but also somewhat dazedly rubbed his eyes, muttering:
"Am I seeing things again? How did I see that stinky kid again... Sigh, I wonder if that stinky kid is dead or alive..."
Qin Yi snorted coldly, dissatisfiedly saying:
"Shen, if you still want to sleep in bed tonight, shut up for this old lady. You have no right to speak of this old lady's son."
Shen Junhe quickly agreed, obediently continuing to massage Qin Yi's shoulders.
Shen Hanyu naturally heard the conversation between his parents and couldn't hold back a puff of laughter, then said:
"Dad, Mom, A Yu, I'm back..."
Hearing this voice, the three's movements stiffened simultaneously, then quite synchronously lifted their heads, eyes full of incredulous expressions, staring fixedly at the figure at the door.
Qin Yi was the first to react, directly "whoosh" standing up, startling Shen Junhe behind her.
"You unfilial son, you still know how to come back. Do you know how worried I, your mother, was..."
Qin Yi quickly stepped forward and pulled Shen Hanyu into her embrace, tears glistening at the corners of her eyes.
Shen Hanyu was startled and hurriedly comforted:
"Mom, what are you worried about? Aren't I back safe and sound? Rest assured, your son has a big life."
Qin Yi just cried on her own. Her son ran away from home at eight years old and only returned at eleven; for any mother, this was something that could drive one to collapse.
Shen Hanyu was also very helpless, only able to gently pat his mother's back to comfort her.
Back then, making this decision was a bit too sudden. At first, he regretted it a little, but since he had already left home, going back temporarily wouldn't mean much. So he just continued, which led to a series of adventures later, breaking through to the Soul Elder realm at eleven years old.
Shen Junhe also stepped forward a few steps, his eyes clearly filled with joy and excitement.
Shen Hanyu nodded, smiling as he said:
"Dad, I'm back."
Shen Junhe laughed loudly and nodded, his body trembling with excitement.
Shen Hanyu's mood was excellent, chatting with his mother about life outside for a bit, casually talking about family matters with his father; anyway, a harmonious scene.
Just when the family of three was joyfully together, Shen Hanyu's sleeve was tugged from below.
Shen Hanyu lowered his head in confusion; his cute little sister was staring at him aggrievedly, her cute little face wrinkled up from unhappiness, somewhat soft and cute, softly saying:
"Brother, did you forget about A Yu..."
