"Get back here!"
Li Liang's angry shout was like a bolt from the blue, making Wang Zheng tremble all over.
Afterwards, Wang Dashao, who was enjoying great success outside and dared to confront Chu Tianxing to the point of being speechless, immediately turned his head obediently, walked to the living room with a few glances back, and stood side by side with his father.
Their eyes met. Looking at his son's long face, Wang Shengrong's gaze held a mixture of pity, disdain, mockery, and wistfulness...
'So easy to win someone over with a few flattering words? Do you think I can be controlled like this forever? This kid is too naive; he'll probably never find a wife...'
Seeing his father, the newly promoted grandmaster, standing upright but with his head bowed and eyes darting around, Wang Zheng felt a deep sense of disappointment and frustration.
'Dad's movements are so practiced; he must have been scolded quite a bit before. A "powerful one," indeed! Such a domineering nickname, yet it's utterly useless. Be a little tougher! Is Mom more terrifying than some ancient demon?'
However, Wang Zheng could only think these words to himself. If only Wang Shengrong knew what his son was thinking at this moment.
He was definitely going to say something like, "Damn, she's way more terrifying than those demon kings!"
Putting aside the exchange of glances between the father and son, judging from Li Liang's fierce expression, the Wang family is likely to face a storm.
Seeing that the father and son were clean and in good spirits, and didn't look like they had been wandering in the wilderness for more than a month, Li Liang could only sigh that they had become strong and independent, and could no longer listen to her.
But seeing their faces covered in dust that they couldn't hide, and the jade box her husband was holding, she felt both angry and heartbroken.
Although she already knew that the father and son had gone to hunt down the Demon King to exchange for spirit fruits, in order to prevent this lawless father and son from continuing their adventures, Li Liang, despite being moved, still asked with a cold face, knowing the answer already:
"Tell me, what have you two been busy with for the past two weeks?"
Yes, that's very realistic. It's a classic case of two people surnamed Wang getting taught a lesson by someone surnamed Li.
Wang Shengrong, being someone who had been through similar experiences, remained silent with his head down.
'You think you don't know where she went? If I were to speak up now, I'd be asking for trouble. Do you really think I'm stupid...?'
Seeing the atmosphere growing increasingly tense and his mother on the verge of exploding, Wang Zheng quickly intervened, snatching the small box from his father's hand and handing it to his mother.
"Mom, this time it's really not my fault, Dad forced me to do it!"
Wang Shengrong: ? ? ?
"You brat, you're talking nonsense..."
Li Liang raised an eyebrow, and Wang Shengrong was immediately speechless.
He then tossed the priceless Golden Sun Fruit aside without even glancing at it.
"Go on."
Wang Zheng immediately fawned over the jade box, holding it in his hands, and continued:
"Dad originally planned to go alone without me."
When he heard that Xiao Jin was willing to exchange his fruit for the Demon King's flesh, he was completely obsessed. He just wanted to exchange a fruit for you and help you achieve dual-attribute transformation.
I even laughed at him for being scared by his own transformation process. My mother, as a veteran powerhouse who awakened during the Dark Ages of the Spiritual Era, is definitely different from him, a gene warrior who came to the profession halfway through.
But to my surprise, my father was completely unmoved. He not only didn't care about my sarcasm, but also said that I was about to undergo a transformation and couldn't delay for even a moment. He insisted on going.
Moreover, he trained like crazy, and I saw him train until he vomited blood several times.
Fortunately, his efforts paid off, and he actually managed to secretly figure out how to use the object of visualization.
I saw him working so hard, but he had only just awakened his abilities and wasn't even familiar with them yet, and his speed was slow, so I had no choice but to help him..."
Upon hearing this, Li Liang raised an eyebrow and looked at her husband.
"real?"
Although her face remained somber and her tone icy, her words softened somewhat.
Wang Shengrong dared not speak now, nodding hastily, his appearance as innocent as could be, making it impossible to tell that he was the peerless warrior who dared to stand in front of that ancient ferocious beast.
Seeing her husband's appearance, Li Liang's heart softened instantly, and her eyes quickly welled up with tears.
Do you know how I've spent the last few days?
I live in constant fear and anxiety, and I can't even sleep soundly, for fear that something will happen to you two.
He was gone for more than half a month, and I couldn't get through on the phone or reply to his text messages.
Even if you really were going out, couldn't you at least send a message every day to let me know you're safe?
When Wang Shengrong saw that his wife's tone had softened and her eyes were full of heartache, he couldn't help but chime in.
"No signal in the wilderness..."
"Um!!!?"
Seeing his mother's anger level rise sharply again, Wang Zheng cursed his father in his heart for being a terrible teammate.
At times like this, just go up and hug her, admit your mistake, and that'll solve everything. How dare she talk back?
When a woman is angry, all you have to do is say "uh-huh," "yes," or "I was wrong," and that's it. At worst, she'll just ask you what you did wrong.
Is this the kind of blunt, mood-killing truth they want you to tell? Everyone knows there's no cell phone signal in the wilderness.
It seems I'll have to take matters into my own hands, Young Master Wang sighed silently to himself.
He has sacrificed so much for this family!
Wang Zheng then quickly made a promise to his mother with a grin.
"Mom, Dad knows he was wrong. We just didn't know any better this time. We'll definitely do it next time, next time!"
Seeing his mother's brows furrow again, Wang Zheng immediately changed his tune.
"Oh, no, no, no, maybe not next time. I won't go again. But even if I do go again, I'll definitely take you with me..."
Seeing how sensible her son was, Li Liang was amused and decided to let the father and son off the hook for the time being, lest they really think that they had no say in the family anymore.
Considering that the father and son were indeed acting in her best interest, Li Liang finally relaxed a little.
"I'm tired after a long day at work, and it's so late now, I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore. Now get yourselves to take a shower and go to sleep. I'll deal with you when I have time!"
Seeing his mother raise the issue high and then gently lower it, Wang Zheng knew that the matter was over.
Alright!
Young Master Wang rushed to the bathroom door in a few steps, turned around and raised an eyebrow at his father, clearly saying: How about that, all done!
Wang Shengrong's eyes were full of approval.
My dear son, well done!
