Jiangbei Villa, a black ghost hovered above Lin Zhen’s house, immediately attracting the attention of many people.
Many people in the surrounding villas used their mobile phones to take photos and upload the pictures to the Internet.
This black ghost had never appeared in Ice City before, firstly because it was expensive, and few could afford it, and secondly because it had just been released. It had only been half a month since Lin Zhen bought the newly released black ghost for Ice City.
The flying saucer slowly glided and landed in the small square in front of the villa. Lin Zhen came out of it.
With a wave of his hand, the black ghost disappeared into the space ring, and Lin Zhen walked towards his home.
People who saw Lin Zhen on the way didn’t recognize him since he had been away for three years, and many of the neighbors in the villa area had changed.
Some people who knew Lin Zhen didn’t talk to him. Now that the news about Lin Zhen being expelled by Gale was widely spread, it was expected that a martial artist who didn’t even have a martial arts school would not have a
promising future, so it was better not to talk to him.
Lin Zhen opened the door of his house, and the smell of food wafted from inside.
After three years of not coming back, Lin Zhen took a deep breath, and nothing smelled better than home.
“Dad! Mom! I’m home!” Lin Zhen shouted.
Upon hearing Lin Zhen’s voice, footsteps came from the kitchen, and Li Qin ran out first. She immediately went up to him and hugged him tightly: “My son is finally back. Mom has missed you so much.”
Lin Liye came out pretending to be calm but almost bumped into the door. He was also delighted that Lin Zhen had returned.
“You, this kid, leave home for three years without any news. At least make a phone call home. Don’t let your dad and I worry about you. Wash up and settle down quickly. You look weary and dusty, and you’ve lost so much weight. Mom will take good care of you later.”
Lin Zhen had indeed lost some weight in the past few years, mainly because the food in the Star Fruit Tree was terrible. After eating compressed biscuits and dried meat for three years, it was impossible not to lose weight.
“Then I’ll go and pack up. The reason is that I couldn’t call you from where I was.”
Lin Zhen returned to his room, took out two sets of new clothes, and then took some toiletries to the bathroom. He washed up thoroughly, changed his clothes, and looked at himself in the mirror with satisfaction. He was much more handsome than in his previous life.
Walking out of the bathroom, Lin Zhen saw his father cooking in the kitchen and went to give him a hug: “Dad, I just love the smell of your cooking.”
“Get out of here. A big kid like you is still clinging to your old man. Aren’t you ashamed? Just go cling to your mother and don’t interfere with my cooking,” his father said, pushing him away.
“Then let me taste this shrimp.” I’m really craving some, Lin thought. Reaching out, ne tnea to graD one or tne Dig rea snrmps nis aaa was cooK1ng.
“Hey! It’s not cooked yet. Get lost.”
Lin Zhen retreated to the kitchen door with a smile, and with a wave, a big red shrimp flew over. He didn’t care if it was hot or not; he just started eating.
“Stinky boy, you’re using that trick with your family now,” Lin Liye said with a laugh.
Lin Zhen went out of the kitchen, and his mother was setting up the table and chairs. He went to help her.
“Son, during the three years you were away, Miss Li came many times. Are you two dating now? I asked her, but she didn’t want to say, but I can tell she likes you. She’s pretty and a good match for you. Tell Mom, how long have the two of you been dating?
Lin Zhen was confused: “What little Li girl?”
“Don’t pretend to be confused with your mother. It’s Li Mengxi, the neighbor’s girl from our previous house. You used to stick to her all the time when you were little.”
“Li Mengxi! ” Lin Zhen was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes slightly. What was this woman up to?
No matter what her purpose was, if she was aiming at his family, she was making a big mistake!
But his mother kept asking questions, and Lin Zhen couldn’t tell her the things to do with the martial artists. He could only resign himself to the fact and said, “Mom, don’t worry about my future. I have a girlfriend, and I’ll bring her to meet you when I get the chance.”
“You have a girlfriend? Whose daughter? What does she look like? She can’t be worse than Mengxi. Nowadays, it’s all about genes or something like that. In short, the better-looking the parents, the better-looking the children in the future. My son is so handsome that if he finds a crooked and cracked melon, it won’t do! Never mind. In any case, it’s impossible to surpass Mengxi. She’s the safe choice. ”
“You’re always running around outside, and no one sees you all year round. If you can give your dad and me a grandchild, you’re free to do whatever you like.”
Hearing his mother nagging again, Lin Zhen had no choice but to take out his mobile phone. The screen showed a photo of him and Su Mingyue: “Mom, take a look. This is my girlfriend, and your future daughter-in-law. See if she looks like a crooked and cracked melon.”
Li Qin took the phone and looked at it, then suddenly froze: “Oh, this girl is so…This is a bit too…ls she even human?”
“What do you mean by not being human?” Lin Zhen gave a bitter smile.
“No, I mean, she’s so beautiful that she doesn’t look like a real person! Old man! Take a look at your son’s girlfriend. She seems a bit familiar to me!”
Lin Liye ran out of the kitchen, and Li Qin handed him Lin Zhen’s cellphone. He looked at it for a long time: “She’s so beautiful, but she does look familiar. She looks like that…”
Li Qin suddenly pointed to a poster of Gods Clan on the wall: “That’s her!”
Lin Zhen then noticed the Star Sky Divine Teaching ads hanging on the wall at his house. In the picture, Su Mingyue was dressed in a divine robe, bathed in radiance, and looked as pure as an angel. However, it was from three years ago, and she looked the same then as she does now.
“This is the Saintess of Gods Clan, your girlfriend?” Li Qin asked in surprise.
“Yes, she is the Saintess and also a Martial Artist. We met at the God Generals Training Camp.”
Lin Liye looked at the phone for a long time: “This couldn’t be Photoshopped by you to deceive us, right? How could someone like her be interested in you?”
Lin Zhen raised his head in annoyance: “Am I so bad in your eyes? Fine, fine, I’ll video call her, and you’ll see.”
With that, Lin Zhen took his phone and initiated a video call with Su Mingyue.
Both Li Qin and Lin Liye were watching from the side; Li Qin even said to Lin Zhen, “Don’t include us in the video call; we just want to sneak a peek.
Otherwise, she might feel uncomfortable.”
Lin Zhen didn’t include his parents in the camera’s frame; he knew their little plan to sneakily assess whether Su Mingyue was a reliable girlfriend for him. However, Lin Zhen wasn’t afraid of this assessment, as Su Mingyue would surely pass with flying colors.
The video call connected, and on the other side, Su Mingyue was sitting at a desk with her hair neatly tucked behind her ears. She seemed to have just taken a bath and was wearing a soft white long dress, looking extraordinarily elegant under the warm orange light. Upon seeing Lin Zhen, she immediately smiled and said, “Idol, you’re home now.”
“Yue’er, what are you doing?” Lin Zhen had missed her after not seeing her for several days.
“I’m reading.”
“What are you reading?” Lin Zhen asked.
Su Mingyue first picked up a book called “The Saintess’s Self-Cultivation” from within the video frame: “My master asked me to read this, but I’ve read it hundreds of times already, so I secretly started reading this instead.” With that, she picked up another book called “Common Era Cookbook.”
“Are you secretly reading a recipe book because you want to cook something delicious for me?” Lin Zhen asked with a smile.
“Mm, you’re so gluttonous, so I thought I would learn how to cook some dishes to make for you later.”
Lin Zhen sighed inwardly; his innocent girlfriend was indeed top-notch. An ordinary girl would probably say something insincere like “It’s not for you,” but not Su Mingyue. She straightforwardly admitted it and even labeled him as gluttonous.
However, seeing Li Qin and Lin Liye snickering in the background, they probably approved of their future daughter-in-law.
“Am I really that gluttonous?” Lin Zhen defended himself.
“You even said you wanted to eat me that day,” Su Mingyue revealed with a smile.
Li Qin and Lin Liye immediately showed a surprised expression behind Lin
Zhen, who suddenly broke into a cold sweat: “That was a joke, just a joke.”
“Mm, I know. Lin Zhen, the God General Competition is starting soon, have you registered yet?”
“I will.” Lin Zhen felt a bit of a headache regarding this matter.
“Good. I’ve already registered, but I don’t know when it will start. I heard we need to bring a Virtual Helmet…”
Su Mingyue paused here: “When will you fix the Star-gazing Mirror? I… I kind of miss you.”
As she said this, her eyes welled up with a watery sheen, her lips quivering slightly. One couldn’t help but want to hold her close and comfort her.
“As soon as possible.”
Seeing Li Qin wanting to join the conversation, Lin Zhen quickly adjusted the camera angle. Su Mingyue probably wasn’t prepared for the parents, so it would be better for them not to meet for now.
“See you soon, Yue’er. I’ll take you away from the church after fixing the Star-gazing Mirror.”
Su Mingyue nodded, and the call ended.
“You brat, where’s my daughter-in-law? Why didn’t you let me see her? Am I so unbearable?”
“Don’t you dare to join in and mess this up. Can’t you hear it? Your son wants to ‘eat’ her, but clearly hasn’t managed to, and she looks so tender. Don’t go scaring her with your sudden appearance.”
“Who? Old man, who are you saying is jumping in tooth and nail?” Li Qin turned towards Lin Liye.
At this time, the smell of burnt food came from the kitchen, and Lin Liye quickly ran there to escape the trouble.
“Mom, now that you’ve seen her, you won’t keep pushing me to find a girlfriend, right?”
“No need, she’s more than enough. Hehe! The Saintess of Gods Clan might become my future daughter-in-law. If I tell others about this, they’ll be green with envy.” Li Qin had already sunk into her fantasies.
She initially wanted to ask Lin Zhen more about Su Mingyue, but the guard informed her that someone named Zhao Liang was looking for Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen checked the guard’s video feed and saw Zhao Liang, Gao Yan, and Shi Lei standing at the door..
