Chapter 5: Three Years and Three Years Again
The beaches of Aolai Beach are still sparkling under the stars and the moonlight.
As the smoke and dust cleared and the rain fell, all that remained beneath Poseidon's trident were a few pieces of scrap metal!
Tang San instantly realized that the murderer had most likely escaped, and his two opportunities to strike had been wasted.
Standing tall in the wilderness, Tang San crushed the bullet in his palm and let the night wind blow it towards the sea. Even with a thousand helpless feelings in his heart, in the end, it all turned into a sigh of old Tang San's decline.
Tang San could only hope that nothing else went wrong in the days to come. He needed to save this last chance to kill the Abyss Saint King and complete his grand plan of ten thousand years...
Looking up, Tang San saw a couple huddled on the beach, trembling from the explosion. In an instant, he saw their entire lives reflected in their eyes.
An ordinary person with a clean resume and no major blemishes in their life, a strong belief in the sea god, and a good foster family!
So, Tang San changed direction and flew to Tang Ziran and Lang Yue. At the same time, his power began to dissipate, and he actively released Tang Wulin from the "ghost possession". The vicissitudes and cunning in Tang Wulin's eyes disappeared, replaced by the innocence of an infant.
His incoherent wailing quickly attracted the attention of Tang Ziran and his wife. How could there be a baby here?
Eh!
Tang Wulin's adorable appearance quickly ignited Lang Yue's maternal instincts. Since he was wild and unclaimed, he was a gift from heaven to the Tang family!
This perfectly fulfilled their regret of not having a child in middle age.
……
Three years later.
Shrek City, the Leng family.
Under Leng Yaozhu's meticulous care, Su Jiu's injuries healed quickly, and it only took three years for her to regain consciousness.
He just couldn't understand why his lower back felt so sore and weak...
Opening her eyes, she saw a red-haired woman sleeping lightly by the bedside. Time had not left any marks on her face; she was still beautiful and charming, and even had a more mature allure.
At this moment, Yao Zhu had shed her image as a decisive and capable businesswoman, revealing only the gentle and kind girl next door. The faint dark circles under her eyes sent a warm feeling through Su Jiu's heart.
I imagine that Yaozhu must have been exhausted from taking care of herself.
"Good morning, Yaozhu-nee!"
"Huh?! Ah, Ah Jiu, you're awake?!"
The familiar tone instantly snapped Leng Yaozhu out of her daze. She jumped up, and her first reaction wasn't excitement, but rather a guilty conscience. But it was only for a moment before she quickly returned to her usual gentle and virtuous self, a soft smile on her face.
Su Jiu noticed it too, but he didn't pay much attention to it. His gaze was fixed on Leng Yaozhu's face, as if something was different.
"Ah, Ah Jiu, is there something on your sister's face? Why are you staring at her like that?"
Leng Yaozhu appeared to be joking, but inside she was panicking. Could it be that Ajiu had discovered her three-year-long affair of secretly eating Xiao Ajiu's food?
It didn't matter; she would marry him anyway. She had already prepared the dowry. Although she was a bit older, she knew how to take care of people. She could always make it up to him later.
Su Jiu chuckled; that sunny, youthful appearance was exactly what Leng Yaozhu longed for.
"It's nothing, I just think Haruka-nee is prettier than before, and seems more feminine..."
"What are you saying! You dare to make lewd jokes about your older sister, huh?!"
"Uh, no, no!"
Leng Yaozhu turned her head away, her cheeks slightly flushed. Thankfully, he didn't notice. But she was unhappy that she wouldn't be able to sneak any more treats...
"By the way, Ah Jiu, who hit you with this wound? Let me hit them back for you!"
"Hey hey hey! Sis, I forgot to tell you, your little brother found a child bride, she's really cute~, but she ran into a blond bully, and who knew this blond guy was so tough, hahaha, and now she's all bruised and battered..."
Su Jiu's half-joking words stirred up a tidal wave in Leng Yaozhu's heart. The smile on her lips instantly froze, and her phoenix eyes dimmed almost imperceptibly. Her childhood sweetheart, whom she had raised, had been run away by a young girl.
unacceptable!
Isn't this just bullying honest people?
Even if you're going to steal someone away, you can't do it this way. The pig she raised with such difficulty has long since given up on her unrealistic fantasies about Yun Ming. Now all that's missing is the right opportunity to make it a done deal and finally lead to a happy ending.
However, he died halfway through his journey!
"Sister Yaozhu, why aren't you saying anything? By the way, what year and month is it now, sister...?"
"ah?!"
"Ah Jiu, what did you just say? I didn't hear you!"
Su Jiu sighed. Could it be that Sister Yaozhu was getting old and her reflexes weren't keeping up? She immediately felt sorry for Leng Yaozhu. Her sister had raised her, and she hadn't even had a chance to properly repay her, and now she was sick…
Looks like I'll have to extort a "Longing for Autumn Dew" from the Tang Clan someday to give her a proper boost.
However, they were simply not on the same wavelength.
"It's not a very important question, it's just that it's [year] [number] years ago?"
"Federal Calendar Year 10003, Ah Jiu, why are you asking this?"
"It seems I've been in a coma for three years, three years... it seems I have another three years..."
Su Jiu examined himself internally and realized that the worst-case scenario was that his three-word battle armor, Night Wanderer, was almost completely ruined and could not be worn at all!
(Image for reference only, showing the Phantom Night Wanderer in the game)
As for the rest, only physical functions remain, which still require rehabilitation training for recovery.
The good news is plentiful: his soul power not only didn't regress, but actually reached level 92; his bones, muscles, and meridians, damaged by the powerful recoil of the Flame Demon's Roar, not only fully recovered, but even became stronger than before. His mental power has also reached the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm. It seems Ah Qi hasn't been slacking off...
Ah Qi: ...
I'm helping you cultivate your mental power so you can be lazy, okay...
"Sister Yaozhu, thank you for taking care of me for the past three years. In another three years, I will bring your future sister-in-law home."
Leng Yaozhu: "..."
"Haha, that would be perfect..."
……
Three years later, in a small alley in Aolai City.
"Ajiu, Na'er is hungry..."
Hehe~
Ajiu chuckled slyly; this was exactly what it had been waiting for. A pixelated expression of utter seriousness and helplessness was projected onto the screen.
"Na'er, do you hate the feeling of being hungry?"
"A-Jiu, who in their right mind would like to go hungry? A-Jiu just loves asking these kinds of questions that leave Na'er confused, hmph~"
Little Na'er puffed out her cheeks and turned her head away in a huff, just like Aunt Puff when she was angry.
"Na'er, here's a chance! If you just act cute, you can get a guy's gold coins and live a life of luxury!"
"Huh? Ajiu, isn't this...isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Na'er was somewhat tempted, but her kindness made her hesitate.
"Do you, Na'er, want Ajiu to act cute? People will find it disgusting if Ajiu does that..."
Ajiu's face once again showed a wronged expression of wanting to do something but being unable to.
"Opportunity knocks but once, Na'er, would Ajiu possibly harm you?"
"Okay, fine..."
To Su Jiu's surprise, the little silver dragon trusted A Jiu so much. She sealed all her memories, but did not erase the memories about A Jiu. Now Su Jiu didn't even need to use the silver dragon's reverse scale.
