Honestly, although I knew that the young lady was a troublemaker who left nothing but trouble wherever she went, I didn't expect her to be this bad. Only she could do this. Anyone else would have been hunted down long ago!
At this moment, Yun Shenhai also sighed, gazing into the distant horizon, and said, "I wonder when they will come to visit us old folks. They're getting more and more immature as they grow up...making us worry for no reason for so many years."
Just as he was saying this, two figures appeared in his field of vision, slowly walking in from within the bamboo forest. The woman with long black hair had to tie it into a scorpion braid because her hair was so exaggeratedly long, hanging heavily down her back and almost dragging on the ground. However, her stunningly beautiful face made this exaggerated hairstyle appear exceptionally gentle and pretty. Her golden pupils gleamed slightly as she glared at the man beside her, saying something in a huff.
The man with the long silver-gray hair had no choice but to smile indulgently, a hint of helplessness in his expression.
The black-haired woman's cold voice was like that of ancient ice, sending chills down one's spine just by listening to it: "It's all your fault... If you hadn't teleported me to the wrong place, I would definitely have been able to eat the Fish King!"
Jun Chenlan was both amused and exasperated: "Yes, yes, I was wrong, okay? Let's go again next year at this time, alright? Don't be angry."
Quan Ji glared at Jun Chenlan: "Another year to wait! We've been playing for so long, and I still haven't tasted the most perfect roasted Heart Dream Fish King. You ate it more than forty years ago, and you keep tempting me. Are you even human?!"
"I admit I was wrong, okay?" Jun Chenlan couldn't resist Quan Ji's coquettish nature and just kept smiling and saying, "I'll definitely take you to eat next time, okay?"
Everyone stared blankly at the two people in front of them, their conversation filled with sweet affection and tenderness. They were practically fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), and the scene was exceptionally harmonious. The handsome man and beautiful woman were so captivating that it was hard not to be attracted.
They even thought they were seeing things.
They knew the young lady wasn't dead, but when they actually saw that familiar figure return to them once again, tears welled up in their eyes, their noses stung, and a lump formed in their throats.
The two little babies got excited and ran over to hug their parents.
"Dad! Mom!!"
Welcome home!!!
Seeing how enthusiastic their children were, Quan Ji and Jun Chenlan patted their heads and smiled.
Quan Wuyue asked sweetly, "Mom and Dad, did you bring us any gifts when you came back today?"
They look forward to it, because their parents always bring lots of interesting things when they come back.
At this moment, Quan Ji said coldly, "No, don't even think about it. I haven't even had what I wanted to eat myself, why would I bring it for you?"
The two little ones wanted to cry after hearing this, sob sob sob... Had they really fallen out of favor?!
The people not far away were speechless.
Good heavens... Is this how a mother should act?!
However, that wasn't the most brilliant part; the most brilliant part was the question Kwon Ji asked next.
Quan Ji asked, "Weren't you supposed to be reporting to the academy today? Why are you still at home? You're so young and you're already skipping school? Are you itching for a beating?"
Upon hearing that they were going to be beaten by their mother, Quan Wuyue and Jun Qingchi turned pale and gasped, their eyes wide with shock and their whole bodies filled with panic.
Because it hurts the most when Mom hits you!
They quickly hugged their father's legs: "Daddy! Waaah... Mommy's going to spank us again!"
Jun Chenlan was both amused and exasperated. He stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "If it's because he skipped school, then it's indeed to avoid being beaten. After all, going to school is a very important thing."
Jun Qingchi quickly said, "No, no! We came back after finishing school. It was our great-grandfather and the others who said we weren't suited for school, so they asked us to bring them home!"
"My great-grandparents?!"
Quan Ji and Jun Chenlan were both stunned for a moment. Then, when they looked up, they saw a series of familiar faces. The expressions in everyone's eyes were not those of joy at a long-awaited reunion, but rather a kind of resentment and complaint.
It's like a lonely woman in her boudoir seeing her husband return home disheveled after being confined to her empty room.
Quan Ji: "..."
Jun Chenlan: "..."
Wait a minute, something doesn't seem right. Why are these people here?
They haven't planned to reveal the truth that Kwon Ji is actually alive yet!
Wouldn't that be incredibly awkward?
They hadn't even had time to think of what to say!
"Ahem... Hello everyone, you must be seeing things, goodbye!"
After saying this, Quan Ji planned to leave this place as soon as possible, grabbing Jun Chenlan's clothes and turning to run.
Before they could even run away, the group of figures instantly appeared in front of them.
Quan Ji: "..."
Jun Chenlan: "..."
"Ahem... Um, would you like to hear our explanation?"
This is the most embarrassing thing in the world.
At that moment, Kwon Ji truly wished she could die on the spot.
Quan Wuyue and Jun Qingchi couldn't help but gape. So their parents were actually afraid of their great-grandparents! They had always thought that their parents were fearless!
The two children exchanged a glance, and a thought began to form in their minds.
"Brother, I think as long as we win over our great-grandfather and the others, we won't have to worry about Mom hitting us anymore!"
Actually, Quan Ji didn't hit them randomly. It's just that those two kids are usually the kind who pretend to be innocent and naive and can deceive people. If you don't discipline them for three days, they'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles. I don't know who they learned it from. They're naughty!
...
Jun Chenlan and Quan Ji felt utterly terrified as they faced the familiar crowd.
Cang Mingyou: "My dear granddaughter, of course we are willing to listen to your explanation. We really want to hear how you, who sacrificed the entire Holy Kingdom, were resurrected."
Yun Shenhai: "Yes, my dear disciple, we really, really want to know why you didn't tell us that your child is already so big."
Junlin said, "He hasn't even replied to messages for so many years, it's like he's vanished from the face of the earth."
Fang Si: "What exactly is the reason, our esteemed young lady?"
Cang Mingru: "Miss, we really need a reason that can convince us to believe you."
Han Yin: "Young Miss, Marshal Jun, you two seem to be having a great time traveling, don't you? You must not care at all about how worried your families are?"
Quan Chengying: "Come on, sister, let me hear what's going on between you two. What's the reason that made you choose to hide the truth?"
Feng Simian: "Young Miss... I also really want to know the reason for your resurrection, and why you haven't shown yourself for so long. Do you find us troublesome, or do you find us troublesome, or do you find us troublesome?!"
At this moment, Quan Ji felt what a true battleground was.
Quan Ji: I'm scared!
