The Zhang Family

Chapter 5 Going Home (Please add to your favorites and vote for this book)

Thanks to the driver's series of amazing actions, our handsome, charming, and genius Shen had no choice but to walk home alone, looking miserable.

Fortunately, they didn't encounter any more spirit beasts along the way, only occasionally encountering one or two tall and strong spirit masters robbing people on the road.

Upholding the kind nature of contemporary college students, Shen Hanyu directly performed physical deliverance for them on behalf of Buddha, allowing them to happily go to another blissful world.

Doing good deeds anonymously is the mark of Mr. Shen, the great hero.

Fortunately, we've already covered almost 60% of the distance in the past half day, so we're not far from Four Seasons City now. If we keep going at full speed, we should be able to reach Four Seasons City around noon, just in time for lunch.

On the way home, Shen Hanyu was filled with thoughts and felt uneasy.

Although he left a letter when he ran away, his mother couldn't help but worry about him. His father, who was such a powerful Soul Emperor, was like a quail in front of his mother, not daring to say a harsh word. He was definitely a severe henpecked husband.

Speaking of this, Shen Hanyu gets a headache. The views on love in Douluo Continent are indeed like some kind of serious illness.

Putting aside the sibling romance within the Haotian Sect—oh, it was only one-sided; Tang Hao didn't seem to like his sister.

Let's talk about that bunch of love-struck idiots in the Spirit Hall. They're a complete moron. In other words, even Hua Tuo couldn't save them. They're just awful...

There's also the love affair between humans and animals that started with Tang Hao in the Tang family, from grass to rabbits, and then from dragons to sharks—it's practically a zoo!

But you can't say they have bad taste. At least they've chosen top-notch beauties and geniuses. After all, they're all the same with the lights off, and it might even be more exciting...

Even someone who didn't watch much anime in his previous life was familiar with the infamous Love Continent, which made it incredibly popular.

Just thinking about these ridiculous scenarios gave Shen Hanyu goosebumps. He almost wanted to grab his Frostfire Spear and stab these love-struck simps with holes in them.

That's all I have to say, otherwise I might be afraid of the real-life Fang Yuan, the real protagonist...

………………

As a small city near the Four Elements City, Four Seasons City's climate is not as harsh as that of the far north, but it is still located in the far north region. It still snows in winter, but it is not as extreme and can be considered normal weather.

There are no overly powerful sects or families in the city. Apart from the Shen family, which is the only dominant one, there are two Soul King families, but their martial souls are not outstanding. They probably won't become geniuses and will remain so for life.

As the saying goes, the rich rely on technology, while the poor rely on mutation; this is based on facts.

Entering Four Seasons City only requires paying one copper soul coin, and there aren't many restrictions, making it a very free and peaceful little city.

As he entered the city gate and saw the familiar streets and shops, Shen Hanyu couldn't help but stretch comfortably, as if the dust and grime of the journey had never existed.

Sometimes, it's a tragedy to return from a long journey only to find that your hometown has changed beyond recognition, but fortunately, this tragedy didn't happen to Shen Hanyu.

As Shen Hanyu walked to the gate of the Shen family manor, he looked at the mahogany gate with a sense of nostalgia. The gate still bore the scars he had left when he practiced marksmanship as a child.

The two servants standing outside the door noticed Shen Hanyu, who stood out like a crane among chickens in the crowd. One of them, the bolder one, stepped forward and asked in disbelief:

"Young Master Yu...is that you?"

Shen Hanyu nodded and said with a smile:

"Sixth Brother, what's wrong? You don't recognize me after three years?"

Liu Liu trembled all over, then said excitedly:

"My goodness, Young Master Yu, you're finally back! You have no idea how heartbroken Master and Madam were after you left, and Miss was the same. For a long time, she wouldn't eat and kept asking to see you..."

Shen Hanyu waved his hand and said:

"Back then, I didn't want to stay at home all the time and wanted to go out and gain some experience. Now that I'm back, there are some things I should explain to my parents properly. Brother Liu, could you go and tell the kitchen to cook more food? We encountered a soul beast on the way and I almost starved to death..."

Liu Liu smiled and nodded in agreement, then quickly walked towards the hall to greet Shen Hanyu.

In the hall, a graceful and elegant woman sat at the head of the table. Time had not left any marks on her beautiful face; instead, it had added a touch of mature charm.

Behind her, a middle-aged man in a white robe was smiling as he massaged the woman's shoulders. The man had several obvious wrinkles on his face, but the dashing air of his youth was still evident.

There was also a little girl who looked like a small potato sitting on a soft stool next to them, eating pastries. Her cute little face was stuffed full of pastries, which was very endearing.

This is the scene that Shen Hanyu saw when he entered the hall.

Shen Junhe was the first to see Shen Hanyu. He immediately stopped what he was doing, rubbed his eyes in confusion, and muttered:

"Am I seeing things again? How come I see that brat again... Sigh, I wonder if that brat is dead or alive..."

Qin Yi snorted coldly and said with dissatisfaction:

"Hey Shen, if you want to sleep with me again tonight, shut up. You have no right to talk about my son."

Shen Junhe quickly agreed and obediently went to massage Qin Yi's shoulders again.

Shen Hanyu naturally overheard the conversation between the two elders and couldn't help but chuckle. He then said:

"Dad, Mom, Ayu, I'm home..."

Upon hearing the voice, the three of them froze simultaneously, then raised their heads in unison, their eyes filled with disbelief as they stared intently at the figure in the doorway.

Qin Yi was the first to react, and sat up abruptly, startling Shen Junhe behind her.

"You unfilial son, you finally decided to come back! Do you know how worried I was as your mother...?"

Qin Yi quickly stepped forward and pulled Shen Hanyu into her arms, tears welling up in her eyes.

Shen Hanyu was startled and quickly comforted him:

"Mom, what are you worried about? I'm back safe and sound. Don't worry, your son is very lucky."

Qin Yi just kept crying to herself. Her son had run away from home when he was eight and didn't return until he was eleven. This would be a devastating experience for any mother.

Shen Hanyu was also quite helpless, so he could only gently pat his mother's younger relative to comfort her.

The decision was made rather suddenly, and he initially regretted it, but since he had already left home, there was no point in going back now, so he simply continued on his way, which led to a series of extraordinary encounters and the breakthrough to the Soul Sect realm at the age of eleven.

Shen Junhe also stepped forward a few steps, his eyes filled with obvious joy and excitement.

Shen Hanyu nodded and said with a smile:

"Dad, I'm home."

Shen Junhe nodded with a big laugh, his body trembling with excitement.

Shen Hanyu was in a great mood. He chatted with his mother about his life outside and casually talked about family matters with his father. In short, they seemed to be getting along very well.

Just as the family of three was enjoying a happy time, Shen Hanyu's sleeve was tugged at from below.

Shen Hanyu lowered his head in confusion. His adorable little sister was staring at him with a wronged expression, her cute little face scrunched up in displeasure, looking rather soft and cute. He whispered:

"Brother, have you forgotten about Ayu...?"
