"Is this lady also a fairy? She's so beautiful, just like Aunt Yunxi!"
On the other side, a little girl looked up at Yuechan, her rosy cheeks full of smiles.
Similarly, the group of teenagers, including Dazhuang and Ermeng, had also noticed Yuechan long ago, because she was so beautiful that how could they not notice her?
"This girl is so beautiful. Like Xiao Xi, she doesn't seem like an ordinary woman, but rather a fairy from heaven."
"Yes, looking at this makes me want to leave the Great Wilderness and venture out into the world!"
"Me too! Looking at the kids Xiao An and Xiao Hao brought back, I wish I were decades younger!"
········
For a time, everyone in the village was joking and envying Shi An and Shi Hao for finding such a beautiful girl from outside.
In response, Yuechan acted with composure and grace, showing no arrogance befitting a saintess of an immortal sect. Instead, she smiled warmly and appeared approachable and natural.
"Xiao Hao, is this for real this time? Are you finally getting married?"
"Yes, Xiao Hao, is it for real this time? Unlike last time, you won't say you'll wait until after you reach the Upper Realm, will you?"
"Yeah, Xiao Hao, this time it won't be like that giant fire dragon, we'll have to wait until the upper realm, right?"
"That's right, you kept lying to us, saying you'd carry several fat men back to the village, but now our kids are all over the mountains and you still haven't kept your promise."
··········
Hearing his childhood friend's ridicule, Shi Hao acted quite boldly this time, raising his chin and waving his hand: "Of course, she's back in the village to rest and prepare for childbirth this time."
"What?"
"Really?"
"I don't really believe it!"
···········
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, especially a group of teenagers who were making faces at each other.
Even Yuechan blushed. Although she gritted her teeth in secret, she could only follow her heart here and dared not say anything more.
At the same time, the crowd did not neglect Qin Hao on the other side; many children surrounded him, chattering incessantly.
And so, the group walked into the village.
Along the way, Shi Ziling and his wife couldn't help but marvel at how different the village was from what they had seen years ago. This small village had a surprising number of medicinal herbs and was filled with spiritual energy.
In particular, the peach tree in the village, which shimmered with silver light, was only half a waist tall, yet it was incredibly fragrant. Its leaves and branches were covered in a silvery sheen, attracting everyone's attention.
"A miraculous herb?"
Looking at the peach tree, Qin Hao's expression was uncertain. It was just a small village, yet it had a sacred medicine.
Even Yuechan was shocked. That peach tree was actually a true sacred medicine, especially the soil beneath it, which was also divine soil.
In addition, there were lightning dogs, divine rats, red-feathered cranes, and other small creatures that rushed over and jumped onto the shoulders of some children.
"The changes are so drastic."
Such a stark contrast to the scene prompted Shi Ziling to exclaim in surprise.
"Is this where he grew up?"
Yuechan was also lost in thought. She first looked at the peaceful village, then at the large willow tree at the village entrance that was being worshipped, and finally at Shi Hao.
This guy was so "fierce" outside, but back in this little village he was so radiant, which she found a bit hard to believe and felt was strange.
"Uncle Ziling, everything you see now is the result of Brother Hao risking his life to obtain over the years!"
"What?"
Just then, a voice rang out, causing Shi Ziling and his wife, as well as Yuechan and Qin Hao, to tremble in their hearts. They all looked at Shi Hao, who had a pure and innocent smile on his face.
Seeing Shi An expose his "crimes," Shi Hao naturally wouldn't bear the blame alone, and immediately retorted, "Brother An, what you're saying isn't right. I didn't steal all of these things; most of them were stolen by you."
"Hahaha········"
As the two brothers accused each other of their "crimes," everyone couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.
But amidst the laughter, Shi Ziling and his wife felt a heavy weight in their hearts. Their Hao'er, so young, already knew how to contribute to the village and help it grow. He...
Thinking about it, the couple felt a pang of sadness, and Qin Yining burst into tears: "Hao'er, it's all my fault, I didn't take good care of you!"
Meanwhile, upon learning that everything in the village had been reclaimed by Shi Hao and his companion over the years, Qin Hao was at a loss for words—was it admiration? Or perhaps deep shock? He looked at Shi Hao, his lips moved, but ultimately he couldn't utter a sound.
Although they were brothers, fate led them down different paths.
Qin Hao has always lived under the protection of his parents, while Shi Hao embarked on his journey at a young age, experiencing hardships and making countless sacrifices for the village.
Yuechan's beautiful eyes were also filled with tears. She had never imagined that this boy, who was rumored to be ruthless in the outside world, had sacrificed so much for this small village.
Her gaze toward Shi Hao held a complex mix of emotions: admiration, heartache, and a subtle, indescribable feeling that was quietly growing within her.
Seeing his mother in tears, Shi Hao quickly ran over and gently comforted her, "Mother, don't cry. I did this willingly. Shi Village is my home, and I'm willing to do anything for it. Besides, I'm fine now, so please don't be sad."
Hearing this, Qin Yining felt even more pain in her heart. She gently reached out and tenderly stroked Shi Hao's cheek, choking back tears as she said, "My Hao'er has grown up and become sensible, but my heart aches for you! How much suffering have you endured all these years!"
"child········"
Even Shi Ziling couldn't help but shed tears at this moment, looking at Shi Hao with heartache.
At his age, he should be like his younger brother, enjoying the company of his parents and living a carefree life, but...
Thinking about it, their hearts ached even more.
"Aunt Qin, Uncle Ziling, don't worry, Xiao Hao is incredibly capable. Even a Venerable wouldn't be able to do anything to him, let alone with me here!"
"Yes, Ziling, brother and sister-in-law, you don't need to be like this. Instead, you should be proud to have a child like Xiaohao!"
"Yes, Ziling, sister-in-law, Xiaohao is very capable. You should be proud of him."
·······
Seeing the two of them like this, everyone present immediately offered words of comfort, which gradually eased the atmosphere.
"boom!"
Suddenly, an extremely powerful energy fluctuation came from the depths of the mountains, with beams of light shooting into the sky and shaking the earth.
"What happened? What's wrong?"
This sudden turn of events brought everyone back to their senses. Shi Ziling's family, as well as Yuechan, immediately went on high alert to prevent any accidents from happening.
However, it's not surprising that they acted this way, because this divine power was even stronger than that of an ordinary Venerable, making people wary.
