196: Fang Yuan returns home

Hearing this, the two elders' faces showed a hint of pride.

Though parents wish for their children's safety, who doesn't hope their child becomes a Dragon?

Fang Yuan's ability to earn the respect of the people naturally pleased the two elders.

But mentioning the young girl's murder case, the two elders still couldn't help but feel a chill.

Not just this case.

During the time Fang Yuan was away, strange occurrences frequently happened in Twentieth City.

The Law Enforcement Bureau had changed leaders several times due to ineffective handling of cases.

Many people in Twentieth City were looking forward to Fang Yuan's early return to help the Law Enforcement Bureau solve the mysterious cases.

Unfortunately… Fang Yuan had gone far to City 39, and there had been no news of him since…

“Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister-in-law, I’m home!”

Just as the Fang Family members were still immersed in their worries, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

When they clearly saw who it was, the Fang Family members were instantly overjoyed!

The two elders excitedly staggered to their feet, trembling as they stepped forward.

Fang Yuan's figure flickered, and he steadily supported his parents.

Father Fang wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, then sternly said, “You Bastard, you still remember to come home?”

“Do you still remember us, these two old geezers?”

“If something really happened to you, were you going to make us, with white hair, send off someone with black hair?”

“Let’s see if I don’t beat you, this unfilial son, to death today!”

As Father Fang spoke, he picked up the broom by the door, ready to teach Fang Yuan a lesson.

“Enough, enough! That’s enough!”

Mother Fang lovingly shielded Fang Yuan behind her.

“Yuaner has finally returned safely, why are you still raising your hand?”

“Hurry up and prepare the meal, Yuaner must be hungry from his journey.”

After saying that, she turned around and looked at Fang Yuan with loving eyes.

“Let Mom see if you’re hurt anywhere.”

Looking at his mother’s concerned gaze, Fang Yuan’s eyes welled up.

“Mom, your son is fine, I made you all worry.”

With that, Fang Yuan hugged his mother tightly.

“Little Brother, you were indeed too reckless this time, I, your elder brother, must say a few words to you.”

Brother Fang remembered his parents’ earlier scolding and quickly put on an elder brother's air of authority.

“Alright, alright, instead of lecturing, go help your father. Yuaner just got back, don’t nag him endlessly.”

Brother Fang: ???

This is too biased!

Just now, she blamed me for not disciplining my little brother.

Now she complains I’m meddling too much?

Weak, pitiful, and helpless…

“You all wait a moment.”

Fang Yuan quickly stopped the father and son, who were both looking wronged.

During this period, Fang Yuan not only experienced a transformation in his state of mind but also made rapid progress in his cultivation.

He had also obtained many treasures on the Spirit Mountain.

These were all rewards Liu Jiangyi had given them during this time.

As people who were left on the Spirit Mountain, their treatment was far more than just abundant Spiritual Qi.

Fang Yuan took out four jade bottles and handed them to his family members.

“These are Medicinal Pills I brought back from the Spirit Mountain.”

“Even those who cannot activate their Dantian, after taking these Medicinal Pills, can hope to embark on the path of immortality.”

“If there is still no Opportunity for cultivation, these Medicinal Pills also have the effect of prolonging Lifespan. There are ten pills in each bottle here, and each pill can increase Lifespan by ten years, which can add a hundred years of Lifespan!”

A hundred years of Lifespan!?

As soon as these words came out, the two elders were so shocked their jaws almost dropped.

For ordinary people like them in Twentieth City, living to sixty or seventy was already considered a long life.

Extending Lifespan by a hundred years!

This was almost comparable to Rebirth!

Before they could ask, Fang Yuan again pointed to the pill bottle in his elder brother’s hand and said, “In Big Brother’s bottle, there are also some red Medicinal Pills. After taking them, they can strengthen muscles and bones. Although they cannot allow you to fly or escape into the ground, they can give you the strength of an ox and abundant energy.”

Abundant energy?

As soon as these four words were uttered, the elder brother and sister-in-law immediately blushed.

Having been through it themselves, how could they not understand the deeper meaning?

“Sister-in-law, in your bottle, there are a few pink Medicinal Pills, which are Youth-Retaining Pills.”

“Martial Artists rely on them to stay eternally young. If you take one every ten years, you can maintain your current appearance until death.”

The sister-in-law jumped up excitedly.

She held the jade bottle as if it were a priceless treasure!

Eternal youth!

For a woman, this temptation was even greater than longevity!

Hearing the miraculous effects of the Medicinal Pills, the entire family, except for Father, was overjoyed.

They were still clear about Fang Yuan's character.

Although he was a bit reckless in his actions, he would never lie to them.

“Yuaner, such treasures must be priceless, how did you…”

Fang Yuan proudly puffed out his chest: “I am now staying on the Spirit Mountain, and these are all rewards from the True God!”

“You really entered the Spirit Mountain?”

The whole family was both surprised and delighted.

So, the rumors about City 39 were true?

Fang Yuan chuckled, “I’m just an ordinary person on the Spirit Mountain. It’s not appropriate for me to discuss matters of the Spirit Mountain too much. It would be troublesome if I accidentally violated the True God’s taboos.”

“However, these Medicinal Pills are absolutely genuine. If Mom and Dad don’t believe it, you can try them now.”

They immediately nodded, indicating that Fang Yuan didn't need to say more.

Since Fang Yuan had obtained an Opportunity, that was enough.

How could Fang Yuan harm his own family?

Of course not!

Therefore, even if the family members questioned the efficacy of the Medicinal Pills, they were not afraid of any ill effects from taking them.

So, the elder brother was the first to take out a red pill and swallow it.

He was in his prime, so the Lifespan-extending pill was not urgent for now.

What he cared about more, of course, was being as vigorous as a Dragon and a tiger!

The whole family looked at Brother Fang in unison.

Sister-in-law: “How does it taste? How do you feel?”

The elder brother shook his head blankly, “It melted in my mouth, I don’t feel anything.”

Crack, crack, crack…

Before he finished speaking, his elder brother’s bones popped with crisp sounds like popping beans.

In an instant!

His height actually increased by about ten centimeters!

His muscles bulged at a visible speed.

His original height of just five feet four inches now reached six feet!

The sister-in-law’s gaze unconsciously shifted downwards.

That bulging mass startled her, making her cover her mouth and let out a soft cry, her pretty face flushed, and her throat rolled.

Oh my goodness!

If he used that, wouldn’t it be too much…

The elder brother was beside himself with joy, and the whole family was dumbfounded.

The sister-in-law also didn't hesitate, taking out a pink pill and taking it.

A moment later, her dark hair flowed like a waterfall, and her eyes sparkled.

All the wrinkles on her face disappeared, her skin was like snow, and her lips were red with white teeth, as if she had returned to her youthful eighteen!

The sister-in-law quickly took out a mirror and, seeing her reflection, danced with joy. The elder brother was even more overjoyed, and a certain part of him became even more prominent.

Looking at this situation, these two were destined for a sleepless night…

Seeing this, the parents also each took a Medicinal Pill.

After the medicinal power took effect, their white hair instantly turned black, wrinkles gradually smoothed out, and their complexions became rosy.

Their previously aged appearance had become at least twenty years younger!

Such a change made the whole family cry tears of joy.

After a burst of excitement, Father Fang patted Fang Yuan’s shoulder, his eyes filled with tears, and said, “Yuaner, I knew since you were little that you were no ordinary person.”

“For the Fang Family to have you… it truly is accumulated virtue from our ancestors!”

“From now on, on the Spirit Mountain, you must cultivate diligently and not disappoint the True God's high hopes.”

“With your brother and me looking after things at home, you don’t need to worry.”

“Your son remembers,” Fang Yuan nodded solemnly, a warm current flowing through his heart.

Looking at his family’s joyful expressions, an unprecedented warmth welled up in Fang Yuan’s heart.

At this moment, Fang Yuan finally truly understood the meaning of home.

He finally understood why people in the world were willing to give everything, just to protect the smiles of their loved ones.

Because for a man, there is nothing in the world more comforting than the happiness and well-being of his closest family.
