Chapter 658 The Huo Family (two chapters in one)
At this moment, Huo Baoer's usually imposing face was filled with unprecedented murderous intent.
The backyard is my aunt’s territory. Anyone who dares to approach it, except for the direct descendants of the Huo family, will die!
However, when she broke through the moon-shaped door and her eyes swept across the scene in the backyard like a searchlight, she was struck by the nine-day black thunder and froze to death on the spot!
Under the interweaving of moonlight and the soft lights in the courtyard, the century-old ginkgo tree swayed without wind, and each fan-shaped leaf was emitting a warm and jade-like glow, as if it was infused with the divinity of life.
Under the tree, sitting on the vine swing was her grandmother, Mrs. Huo, who had always been in poor health, and next to her grandmother, kneeling on one knee, holding the swing...
That long silver hair flowing with the cold moonlight, that familiar cyan-gold dress, that familiar outline and aura that could not be concealed even with the head lowered...
Time seemed to be infinitely stretched and frozen in her eyes.
"Little, little aunt?"
Huo Baoer's voice changed its tone, carrying with it an expression of unbelievable ecstasy and a fragility that instantly shattered all disguises.
Her phoenix eyes, which always carried a look of scrutiny and oppression, were now wide open, and a thick layer of moisture quickly filled them.
Hearing the voice, Huo Qinghuang slowly raised his head, his eyes passing through the courtyard and falling on Huo Baoer who was standing stiffly under the moon cave door.
Her eyes were calm, but when she saw Huo Baoer's face that was about to burst into tears, the glacial alienation deep in her eyes that had been there for thousands of years finally melted away, revealing a hint of gentleness that belonged to an elder.
This child whom she picked up casually still remembers her in his heart.
very nice.
And this glance was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"Little aunt!!!"
Huo Baoer let out a heart-wrenching cry, and that sound contained so much.
Fifty years of yearning, the grievances and hardships after losing the protection of a backer, the pressure of holding up the door, and the sudden loss of all defenses...
She no longer cared about her image, her cultivation, or the dignity of being the head of the Huo family's eldest branch!
She ran towards Huo Qinghuang without a care in the world like a child who had suffered a lot of injustice!
The fiery red figure left a blurry trail in the courtyard, carrying a resolute momentum!
When she was still three steps away from Huo Qinghuang, Huo Baoer rushed in too hastily and tripped over a slightly raised bluestone slab, stumbling forward and falling!
However, the expected embarrassment did not occur.
A gentle but irresistible force instantly supported her forward body.
The next moment, Huo Baoer felt a flash before her eyes, and she was firmly caught in an embrace that carried a faint cool breath, yet was extremely familiar!
It’s Huo Qinghuang.
She stood up without knowing when, and her movements were so fast that it surpassed the perception of time. She steadily caught Huo Baoer who was rushing towards her.
This child has been attached to her since the first time he saw her.
It remains the same after all these years.
Huo Qinghuang didn't show it on her face, but she was actually very happy in her heart.
"Aunt! Aunt! It's really you! It's really you! Wuuwuwu..."
Huo Baoer hugged Huo Qinghuang's waist tightly and buried her face deeply in the cool and smooth fabric. The emotions that had been suppressed for fifty years surged out like a flood that broke through the dam.
She cried so hard that her whole body was shaking and she couldn't make a sound, as if she wanted to let out all the tears that had been pent up for half a century at once.
Where is there any trace of the Huo family's “cold-faced demon”?
It is clearly a child who has been lost for many years and finally throws himself into his mother's arms.
Huo Qinghuang was slightly stunned by the volcanic emotional explosion of her niece, but then, the arms around Huo Baoer tightened.
“Baoer…”
Huo Qinghuang's voice was very soft, with a barely perceptible sigh.
This scene made everyone who followed Huo Baoer to the backyard feel as if they were cast under a spell and stood still!
Huo Lingchuan was the second to arrive.
He still looked as cynical and stubborn as ever.
She was wearing casual clothes and her hair was a little messy.
But at this moment, all the cynicism and rebelliousness in his peach blossom eyes, which always carried three parts of sarcasm and seven parts of sharpness, disappeared without a trace the moment he saw the silver-haired figure clearly!
All that was left was great shock and a sense of near-disorientation.
He seemed to have lost all his strength. He staggered and subconsciously held onto the door frame of the moon-shaped door to steady himself. He stared at Huo Qinghuang, his lips trembling, but he could not utter a single word.
Brothers Huo Lingze and Huo Lingyu arrived almost at the same time.
Huo Lingze was wearing a neat Zhongshan suit, with a calm demeanor, and the dignity of having been in a high position for a long time was engraved between his brows.
Huo Lingyu was wearing a neat military uniform, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, and the star on his epaulettes reflected a cold and hard light under the light.
They looked at the figure with snow-white hair under the ginkgo tree. Even though their minds had long been tempered as hard as rocks, they couldn't help but gasp and their pupils contracted violently!
Shock, ecstasy, disbelief...
All kinds of complicated emotions were surging in their eyes like a storm.
Huo Yuchen and his youngest son Huo Qiming also arrived.
Huo Yuchen is nearly seventy years old, but still looks young, with an elegant and calm temperament.
He looked at the figure under the tree, who should have been in endless thoughts, and tears quickly welled up in his eyes.
Huo Qiming has good talent and a bit of arrogance on his face.
But looking at the inexplicable surprise on the faces of his father and several uncles, an unbelievable guess emerged in his mind and his body froze in place.
The last one to arrive was Huo Lingfeng.
The second master of the Huo family, who relied on drugs to reach the Nascent Soul stage,
At this moment, he was running out of breath, and subconsciously holding a bottle of medicine that had just come out of the oven and was emitting a burnt smell.
He stared with wide eyes at the quietly standing figure, his brain completely shut down, and his mouth opened wide enough to fit the furnace of pills he had just refined.
Deathly silence enveloped the backyard once again.
Only Huo Baoer's suppressed crying echoed in the night sky, striking everyone's heart.
Huo Qinghuang gently patted his niece who was crying uncontrollably in his arms. He slowly raised his eyes and scanned the familiar faces in the yard that were stained with the vicissitudes of time and were now filled with extreme shock.
Her gaze was calm, like a deep cold pond, yet seemed to carry some kind of power that could see through everything, lingering for a moment on the faces of every member of the Huo family.
Finally, her eyes fell on Huo Lingchuan, who was holding on to the door frame and seemed to have not yet recovered from the huge shock.
"Fifth brother."
Huo Qinghuang opened her mouth, her voice was not loud, but it clearly penetrated Huo Baoer's crying and fell into everyone's ears, carrying a kind of calmness that seemed to have settled over time.
This call was like a thunderclap, instantly waking Huo Lingchuan from his distraught state!
He shuddered violently, as if he were hit by an invisible whip.
In those peach blossom eyes that always had a bit of ruffian spirit, all the disguises and hard shells were completely shattered by this call!
A huge feeling of bitterness and an indescribable grievance instantly rushed to the tip of my nose, and my eyes instantly turned red!
If there weren't so many people, and he still had to maintain his dignity as the head of the Huo family, he could have done the same as Huo Baoer, hugged Huo Qinghuang's thighs and cried bitterly.
God knows what kind of life he has been living in the past fifty years since Huo Qinghuang left.
He sleeps later than a dog and gets up earlier than a chicken. In addition to practicing every day, he also has to worry about the Huo family.
The most important thing is that from time to time you have to deal with the intrigues of those old foxes in the Taoist and martial arts worlds.
Don't mention how tired I am.
Huo Lingchuan almost staggered forward a few steps, and suddenly stopped when he was still five or six steps away from Huo Qinghuang.
He clenched his teeth tightly and tightened his jaw, as if he was using all his strength to restrain something.
Then, in the shocked eyes of everyone, the Fifth Master of the Huo Family, who was a big shot in the entire cultivation world and was known for his recklessness and toughness, and the current head of the Huo Family, burst into tears with a "wow"!
"Little sister! Wuwu, the Huo family, the Huo family did not embarrass you..."
The corners of Huo Qinghuang's mouth twitched slightly, and she couldn't bear to look at it.
This guy, no matter how old he is, he still behaves like this. It's so shameful!
However, the reactions of the Huo family were completely different.
If it were normal times, they wouldn't mind laughing at Huo Lingchuan.
But now, everyone only has Huo Qinghuang in their eyes, so no one is willing to waste their attention on Huo Lingchuan.
"Auntie!"
Huo Yuchen's wife, Huo Baoer, pulled her stunned son Huo Qiming over and pressed him to the ground.
"Call me grandma!"
As he said this, he pressed his son's head without mercy, and it hit the ground with a "bang".
Huo Qiming was knocked unconscious by this blow. Before he could struggle, his mother grabbed his hair and hit him a few more times.
"mom!"
Huo Qiming had just protested when he was stunned by his mother's fierce eyes. He immediately shouted from the bottom of his heart:
"Aunt! I'm Huo Qiming, your great nephew!"
After saying that, he rolled his eyes and kowtowed a few times.
Huo Qinghuang raised an eyebrow and looked at him.
This kid's cleverness is exactly the same as Huo Yuchen's, but the temperament he exudes is a bit similar to that hottie Huo Lingchuan.
"Little sister!"
At this moment, another voice sounded, drawing her attention away from Huo Qiming.
Huo Lingze, a very important figure in the core of Dragon Country, shouted excitedly with red eyes.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the sob in his throat, and bowed solemnly to Huo Qinghuang. Everything was said without words.
Huo Lingyu, who was standing beside him, was wearing a neat military uniform. He stood straight with his hand raised and saluted with a perfect standard military salute, which replaced thousands of words. His eyes were full of excitement of reunion.
Huo Lingfeng was still holding his bottle of burnt pills in a daze, and he only reacted when his wife beside him tugged on his sleeve.
He hurriedly hid the bottle behind him and bowed with everyone else, muttering unconsciously:
"Little sister, little sister is back? Really back? Am I dreaming?"
Huo Qinghuang's gaze swept across his brothers and finally fell on Huo Lingfeng's wife.
He Nianjun?
A glimmer of understanding flashed across Huo Qinghuang's eyes.
When she first met He Nianjun, she felt that something would happen between them in the future.
Now it seems that her feeling was correct.
He Nianjun's body stiffened when she looked at him, and he smiled at her with pursed lips embarrassedly.
For a moment, the entire Huo family's backyard was filled with the sounds of Huo Baoer's still suppressed sobs and choked calls and greetings.
The soft light of moonlight and ginkgo leaves interweave, and the exotic fragrance of phoenix flowers floats in the air. This scene is full of shocking power.
A mortal family, after spanning half a century and experiencing the dramatic changes of the revival of spiritual energy, welcomed their spiritual pillar who returned like a god in their own way.
Huo Qinghuang sighed, patted Huo Baoer's back gently, and said in a gentle voice:
"Okay, baby, stop crying."
He then looked at Huo Qiming who was still kneeling on the ground and said, "Get up. We are family. There is no need to do this."
Her voice seemed to have some soothing power.
Huo Baoer sobbed, and finally raised her head slowly. Her eyes were red and swollen like peaches, but she stubbornly refused to leave Huo Qinghuang's side, and just wiped her cheek randomly with the back of her hand.
Huo Lingchuan wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve and returned to his carefree look, but his red eyes and slightly trembling hands revealed his inner unrest.
His gaze immediately turned and fell on Ao Jiu, especially the little guy in Ao Jiu's arms, who was staring at them with his grape-like black eyes.
“Yo!”
Huo Lingchuan's eyes lit up, and he took a few steps forward. His face was instantly filled with curiosity and a smirk that seemed to ask for a beating. Where was the sadness from when he was crying just now?
He stretched out his slender fingers and, with a bit of cautious tentativeness, gently poked the baby's pink and chubby face.
"Could this be my legendary nephew? He's so handsome! Follow me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, something unexpected happened!
The baby's face was poked, his eyebrows frowned unhappily and his mouth pouted.
"puff!"
An extremely tiny, almost transparent, yet emitting a terrifyingly high temperature, chaotic flame sprayed directly onto the toe of Huo Lingchuan's limited edition, extremely flashy bright yellow sneakers!
“Sizzle!”
The smell of burnt protein instantly spread!
"Oh! My shoes! My limited edition AJs!"
Huo Lingchuan jumped up suddenly like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
As he hugged himself, he saw a small charred hole on the tip of his shoe, which was still smoking. He grimaced in pain.
The dignity of an elder that he had pretended to have just now was shattered in an instant.
This funny scene instantly diluted the overly heavy atmosphere of sadness and joy in the courtyard.
“Puff…”
Huo Baoer's eyes were red and swollen and still had tears in them, but she was the first one who couldn't help laughing out loud, with a strong nasal tone.
The brothers Huo Lingze and Huo Lingyu couldn't help laughing, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but rise.
Huo Yuchen and his wife and Huo Qiming even laughed out loud.
Even Mrs. Huo finally showed her first truly relaxed smile of the night when she saw her youngest son jumping up and down in distress, and her cloudy eyes were filled with warm light.
"Should!"
Mrs. Huo cursed with a smile. Although her voice was hoarse and weak, it was full of anger. "You are so naughty! You even bully a little kid!"
