Chapter 608

After rushing for over a day, Long Chen finally found the tracks that Little Snow had left behind . This was where Little Snow had been teleported .

This was already extremely far from the Yin familys ancestral land . Following the tracks Little Snow had left behind for over a day, he finally arrived at a small city .

Long Chen found his family in an inn . Within the entire inn, the only guests were the Long family .

That was because as soon as Little Snow had come, the other guests had all fled in terror . This place was just a small city, and the population didnt exceed a hundred thousand . Even the Tendon Transformation realm was considered extremely powerful while Bone Forging experts were peerless . How could they have ever seen a fifth rank Magical Beast?

When Long Tianxiao had arrived on Little Snows back, even the manager of the inn had been prepared to run . Little Snows aura was just too terrifying .

He directly told Long Tianxiao that he could pick whatever room he wanted . If Long Tianxiao hadnt comforted him, the manager would have long since fled .

Seeing Long Chen had arrived, Mrs . Long immediately hugged him, sobbing . Long Tianxiaos eyes were also red . He had thought he would never be able to see Long Chen again .

Mom, child was unfilial, implicating you . Long Chen was also choked with sobs . He had gone out to cultivate on his own, and due to that, he had implicated his parents, causing them to suffer .

Foolish child, what nonsense . Come, meet your little sister . I came up with her name, Long Xiaoyu . Xiaoyu, quickly come greet your big brother . This is the big brother your mom and dad have told you about . Mrs . Long pulled the little girl over .

Big brother

The little girl looked at Long Chen with her pure eyes . She was slightly afraid, as well as slightly curious . She hid behind Mrs . Longs leg, caught between not daring to look at him and wanting to see him .

Xiaoyu? As in the pretty daughter of a humble family? Mom, it seems youre afraid my sister will run off too! laughed Long Chen . From this name, it seemed his mother didnt hope for Xiaoyu to have any accomplishments . All she wanted was for her to peacefully live by her side, being an obedient child .

But hearing this name, Long Chen remembered another figure who was only slightly bigger than Xiaoyu . It seemed she had also said her name, and it was very similar . But he had forgotten what it was exactly .

Come, Xiaoyu, do you want a hug from your big brother? Long Chen kneeled down and clapped his hands, smiling .

Mommy Im afraid The little girl continued to hide behind Mrs . Long shyly .

Foolish girl, thats your big brother! Did you forget how he has saved us? Mrs . Long looked at Xiaoyu tenderly, rubbing her small head .

But hes different from the paintings you showed me Hes a bit savage, whispered Xiaoyu into Mrs . Longs ears .

Hearing this, the three of them immediately laughed . But Long Chens laughter was a bit self-mocking . He knew what paintings Xiaoyu was talking about .

That was the comic that had been extremely popular back in Phoenix Cry . At that time, Long Chen had truly just been a youth . Now, over two years had passed, and he had already grown up .

Not only had his face become more steadfast, but due to the struggles on the cultivation path, he had also slaughtered countless people . That murderous aura in his bones was hard to conceal .

Although Long Chen had already withdrawn that aura, Xiaoyu was a child and was exceptionally sensitive to that kind of aura . She naturally felt he was scary .

Seeing that Xiaoyu refused to get closer, Long Chen simply smiled and told Mrs . Long to do her best to coax her . Long Chen went into another room and gave Long Tianxiao a medicinal pill to regrow his limbs . In just an incense sticks worth of time, he was fully healed

Chen-er, youve had it hard in the outside world . Long Tianxiao patted Long Chen on the shoulder, sighing .

Although Long Chen was now the same height as Long Tianxiao, in Long Tianxiaos eyes, Long Chen would forever be that small child . Seeing Long Chens steadfast face, Long Tianxiao felt a sour feeling . The only one who knew how much Long Chen had suffered was himself .

Long Chen forced back his tears, smiling . Dad, your child doesnt have it hard . The outside world is very brilliant . I have many great beauties and many hot-blooded brothers

Long Chen told his father about his experiences . However, he only mentioned the good parts . The sadness, the powerlessness he felt, those portions he omitted .

Chen-er, your decision today makes me both happy and troubled . Im happy that even after all those trials and hardships, you still managed to retain your original heart . But Im also troubled, because even after experiencing that much slaughter, you still havent been able to make your heart vicious and ruthless . Im afraid that the same thing will happen again in front of you, and at that time, perhaps you really will fall, sighed Long Tianxiao .

Long Chen cared too deeply about the people close to him . That was something gratifying, but such a person would suffer far too much in the outside world .

Dad, dont worry . I definitely wont fall into this kind of trap again, promised Long Chen .

Your mother and I are not going back to Phoenix Cry . Well find a small village for ourselves to live in peacefully . These years, all Ive done is battle and fight . But that never managed to bring anything back for us . This time, it seems Ive gained a flash of insight . I want to try being an ordinary person . Hunting, farming, resting when the suns down, working when the suns up, living carefree and unrestrained . Long Tianxiao smiled .

Dad

Chen-er, dont feel bad . You should feel excited for your dad . I really did gain a flash of insight . Living in itself is also a kind of cultivation .

Some people care so much about the result, that theyve forgotten that sometimes the journey of cultivation is even more important than the result .

When I was young, I only wanted to get stronger . I cared too much about the result . Now I realize, the result is unknown, but the journey is within my control .

I wont care about the result for now . What I want to do is allow my journey to become even more brilliant . When you were young, I didnt accompany you while you grew up . That is my greatest regret .

Now the heavens have given me another chance, sending Xiaoyu to my side . Ill properly cherish this chance . Ill stay by her side as she grows up .

Chen-er, theres a certain phrase thats well said: the horse dislikes the narrow path, and the Great Peng hates the heavens for being too low . Your world will be even wider, even higher .

Dont let your Dao-heart be disturbed because of us . Each person has their own goals . You should be happy for us, because weve finally found our own goal, said Long Tianxiao . He patted Long Chen on the shoulder .

Long Chen looked at his father . His fathers eyes were completely calm without the slightest reluctance .

Yes, dad .

Alright, go play with your sister now . Youre her idol, and she always talks about you .

But she doesnt like me

Hahaha

Their family peacefully passed three days together . During these three days, Long Chen accompanied his sister with Little Snow .

Long Xiaoyu liked Little Snow especially and wasnt the slightest bit afraid of him . In fact, she would even sleep on his back when she was tired .

Long Chen leaned against Little Snow, rubbing his head . He was filled with peace . In truth, happiness was very simple . Why did people have to fight to the point of you die or I die?

In this calm town, Long Chen felt a peace he had never felt before . It was like he had left the endless struggles of the world .

But he knew this peace was just temporary . He still had to return into a bloody current and continue his life .

That was because if he didnt struggle, he wouldnt be able to learn about his origins . He might be able to avoid this struggle, but that would be too cruel to his biological parents .

The violet jade pendant appeared in his hand again . Rubbing the words on it, he couldnt help but feel pain inside . He didnt know when he would finally be able to see his biological parents . Were they still alive?

Big brother, are you going to leave us?

At some unknown point, Xiaoyu had woken up . She was staring at Long Chen with her large eyes .

I

I know big brother is a big hero who will save the world by fighting off those evil demons! Once you defeat those demons, youll definitely come back to see me, said Xiaoyu excitedly .

What who told you this? asked Long Chen .

Mom said it, and daddy also said this . Thats right, big brother, why do you call daddy father or dad?

Xiaoyu changed topics so quickly that Long Chen was almost unable to keep up . When I was young, I also called him daddy . But later I called him father, because your brother grew up, and calling him that was no longer appropriate .

Long Chen remembered when he was as small as Xiaoyu . He had also followed his father around all day, calling him daddy over and over again . But later, his father had left, and that appellation became foreign .

Then I wont grow up . I want to forever call him daddy, and daddy will also always love me . Big brother, kiss! Xiaoyu suddenly wrapped her arms around Long Chens neck and gave him a kiss on the cheek .

Now, Xiaoyu was much closer to Long Chen, and she no longer felt her previous shyness or fright . Instead, she had now become closest to Long Chen, even forgetting about her father and mother .

Big brother, let me tell you a secret . I actually dislike kissing daddy .

Oh? Why?

Because daddys beard is too prickly . Even if he shaves, it grows back so fast, and its so painful! whispered Xiaoyu .

Cough, Xiaoyu, talking about people behind their backs is bad . At some unknown point, Long Tianxiao had appeared behind the two of them, just in time to hear her final words .

Daddy! Hug!

Xiaoyu extended her arms . Long Tianxiaos scolding expression immediately became something caught between laughter and tears, and he lifted her into the air . This move of hers was definitely one hundred percent effective .

Alright, lets go eat .

Mrs . Longs voice rang out from the room . Their family sat around a square table . Although they were just eating ordinary vegetables and tofu, this ordinary meal was extremely joyful .

Long Chen stayed here for a full week . But on the eighth day, he finally left .

He left in the middle of the night, afraid to endure any tearful goodbyes . Long Tianxiao had also said that once Long Chen left, they would also leave and find a quiet, isolated place to live ordinary lives .

Finding a comparatively large city, he paid a fee and stepped onto a transportation formation going directly toward the Xuantian Supermonastery .

Brothers, I, Long Chen, am coming back .
