Chapter 409: 408, Go Home Chapter 409: 408, Go Home “Poisoned?” the Dong Family Patriarch looked at his own hand, only to find that it too had begun to rot, “Quick! Call the doctor.” He didn’t want to die.
Elder Xin struggled to his feet from the ground, intending to find a doctor, but after just two steps, he fell. He was in pain all over his body, and completely devoid of strength, a feeling of despair overwhelming him.
Seeing Elder Xin fall, the Dong Family Patriarch felt his heart sink to the bottom. He was now filled with regret, regretting how he had indulged Dong Xu in the past, which had led to today’s disaster. But he knew it was useless to regret now; nothing could be undone.
“Boom!” A loud noise suddenly erupted.
Before the Dong Family’s people had time to react, several more booms followed.
Seeing Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen return, Family Head Yuan’s face was stricken with shock, “How did you come back?” Given the Dong Family Patriarch’s character, even if he captured the wrong people, he would never admit his mistake. He definitely wouldn’t be so amiable as to let them go.
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen cast a dismissive glance at Family Head Yuan and stepped past him toward Chaotic Stone Beach. They didn’t hate him for handing them over; after all, if he hadn’t, the Yuan Family would have been in trouble. But the fact that he didn’t say a word in their defense after knowing that they were the ones who killed Dong Xu, made them see his true nature. If not for the Chaotic Stone Beach being in the Yuan Family territory, they would never return to the Yuan Family.
Family Head Yuan stopped in his tracks, thought for a moment, and called to a steward by his side, “Check on the situation with the Dong Family.” If everything was as usual with the Dong Family, he would have Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen leave the Yuan Family as soon as possible to avoid further trouble.
“Yes!” The steward responded and turned to run outside.
When Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen arrived at the Chaotic Stone Beach, they saw Yuan Yixiu sitting on the ground, head bowed, continuously wiping away tears, “I’m sorry, it’s my fault you were captured by the Dong Family. I’m sorry.”
“What’s a man crying for?” Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen approached.
Hearing this, Yuan Yixiu was taken aback for a moment, quickly raised his head, and seeing Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen, a joyous smile spread across his face, “You… you’re okay?” He had heard from his father that the Dong Family was very domineering and expected that Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen would meet with more misfortune than fortune.
“Of course, we’re okay. Do you think you’re looking at ghosts?” Song Yan Ning joked.
Yuan Yixiu laughed and shook his head, quickly rising to his feet, “How did the Dong Family let you return?”
“The Dong Family didn’t have the strength to keep us, so they had to let us go.” When they left the Dong Family, she had set up a series of Concealing Arrays as a precaution. By now, the arrays should have self-destructed, and the Dong Family was finished.
“Then I’m relieved.” Yuan Yixiu heaved a long sigh of relief. He was really worried that the Dong Family would cause more trouble, but he was powerless to help.
At that moment, a red glow enveloped down from the sky.
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen looked up at the red glow, a faint smile lifting the corners of their mouths. It seemed their guess was indeed correct.
“Yuan Yixiu, you must diligently practice the Ancient Martial Secret Manual I gave you, we are leaving now,” Song Yan Ning said to Yuan Yixiu. They probably wouldn’t meet again in the future.
“Where are you going?” Yuan Yixiu didn’t want Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen to leave.
“Back to our world, ’till we meet again.” Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen said, and then summoned their flying sword towards the red light.
A familiar force of attraction came, and Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen felt even more joyful. They were finally returning home. Although they had gained a lot on the Fengxing Continent, they preferred Earth compared to Fengxing Continent.
Watching Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen disappear into the red glow, Yuan Yixiu reluctantly shifted his gaze away after a long while. Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen were his only friends, but now they were gone, and he was alone once more.
The sound of hurried footsteps approached, and Yuan Yixiu saw Family Head Yuan rushing over.
“Where are they?” When he heard from the steward that the Dong Family had been wiped out, he was in disbelief. No matter how strong Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen were, it was impossible for them to obliterate the Dong Family. But the reality was right before his eyes, and he had no choice but to believe. However, he was also relieved that with the Dong Family gone, they wouldn’t hassle the Yuan Family any longer.
“They’ve left.” Yuan Yixiu was dissatisfied with Family Head Yuan’s handling of the situation. But after all, he was his father. What could he do even if he disagreed?
Yuan Yixiu lifted his gaze to the sky. In the future, he would strive to practice diligently; perhaps one day, he would go see their world for himself.
“Left? When did they leave?” Family Head Yuan said in surprise. He had not seen them go out.
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen looked at the familiar scenery in front of them, their smiles even more brilliant. They had finally returned.
“Let’s go back,” Qin Yushen wrapped his arm around Song Yan Ning’s waist and summoned the flying sword.
“Wait a second!” Song Yan Ning turned around to look at the transmission array, “I’m going to seal it.” She didn’t want people from this world to cross over, nor did she want the cultivators from the Fengxing Continent to come here; otherwise, it would be an absolute disaster for Earth.
Yang Lisheng once again called Song Yan Ning’s phone, wanting to ask when she would return. Although Xiao Ning had been calling home often these days, each call was always hurried and short; he didn’t know what she was busy with.
“Grandpa! Grandma! I’m back,” Song Yan Ning pushed open the gate and walked into the yard, shouting inside. She loved the feeling of coming home, which gave her a sense of belonging.
Hearing Song Yan Ning’s voice, Yang Lisheng and Li Meixiang quickly rushed out of the house.
“Xiao Ning, you’re finally back, let grandma have a good look at you,” Li Meixiang embraced Song Yan Ning, scrutinizing her closely. These days without Xiao Ning, she had almost died of yearning. If Xiao Ning had not called every other day, she wouldn’t have been able to sleep with worry.
“Grandma, have I become prettier?” Song Yan Ning joked. The feeling of returning home was just too good.
“Yes, you have, you’re already a big girl, and in a few years, you’ll be married,” Li Meixiang laughed while caressing Song Yan Ning’s hair.
“I’m not getting married, I want to stay with Grandpa and Grandma forever,” Song Yan Ning leaned on Li Meixiang’s shoulder, acting coquettishly.
“Silly girl,” Li Meixiang fondly tapped on Song Yan Ning’s forehead.
Song Yan Ning laughed, “Grandma, Grandpa, I brought you some little gifts.”
“You and your reckless spending, we’re not children, what do we need gifts for?” Li Meixiang said with a smile, giving Song Yan Ning a teasing glare. Even though she said so, she was actually very happy that Xiao Ning had brought gifts for them.
