Chapter 406: The Patriarch of Hell, When Will You Ever Wake Up If Not Now?
The next morning, Ye Chen took the ship that Wang Long had arranged back to Tiannan. He called Su Yuhan and his parents before he departed.
Therefore, his family was waiting for him at the Tiannan harbor beforehand. Su Yuhan stood in front while carrying the little girl, Mengmeng. Yang Tian and Lin Tai came too. However, in order not to attract any attention, they did not bring any underlings with them.
The moment when Ye Chen walked out of the cabin, he sensed the anticipation through his Divine Consciousness, especially the anticipation his wife and daughter had on their faces.
He stood in the cabin with his arms behind his back while he fixed his eyes on the scenery and his family. He felt warm inside.
The feeling of someone waiting for him and missing him was an amazing feeling!
He shook his head lightly and walked over.
“Daddy!”
Although many people were getting off the ship, the little girl in Su Yuhan’s embrace had sharp eyes. She saw him instantly, so she struggled out of Su Yuhan’s embrace and ran toward Ye Chen happily.
“Aww, my dear daughter. Be careful!”
Ye Chen was smiling from ear to ear. He squatted down immediately and carried the little girl, revealed his fatherly love. “My darling, do you miss Daddy?”
“Of course, I do. I miss you so much that I couldn’t eat or sleep.” The little girl held his neck tightly and could not stop giggling. Ye Chen felt her breath on his face.
At that moment, Su Yuhan, Ye Hai, and the rest came over.
Ye Chen could not help but say as he looked at the little thing’s chubby cheeks, “Really? Why do I think that you’re even chubbier than before? Tell me, did you eat a lot when I was away?”
“I didn’t.” The little thing blushed, she stammered as she spoke, “I-I eat very little now. I only eat a small bowl of rice every meal.”
As Su Yuhan watched the father and daughter being reunited, she complained angrily, “Indeed, this silly girl is only eating a small bowl of rice every meal. However, she hasn’t stopped eating. She eats snacks all day long.”
She had been bored at home the few days when Ye Chen was in Hong Kong, so she had dropped by the company. Upon finding out that she was the director’s wife, every staff in the company tried to butter her up by giving many snacks to the little thing.
“Mommy is naughty!” The little girl scoffed after realizing that she was busted. She buried her head into Ye Chen’s embrace like a shy little quail.
“Hahaha!” Ye Chen failed to hold himself back, so he laughed out loud.
Ye Hai and Wu Lan were also in between tears and laughter. Wu Lan said, “I’ve asked this silly girl to eat fewer snacks, but she refused to listen to me. If this goes on, I suppose nobody wants to marry her in the future!”
“No! I don’t want to marry anyone!” The little girl was upset now. She lifted her head and looked at Wu Lan as she said fiercely, “Grandma is naughty too. You’re always thinking of marrying me off!”
“Hehe!” Ye Chen chuckled. “Don’t worry. Eat anything you want. I won’t allow you to grow fat. Moreover, my daughter shouldn’t be worried that nobody wants to marry her!”
“That’s right. She doesn’t have to worry about that.” Yang Tian, who was aside, took the opportunity to interrupt like he always did, “Old Ye, you should consider my Haohao…”
“Shut your mouth!” Ye Chen glared at him and said in disdain after sensing his cultivation base, “It’s been three to four days since I left, yet I don’t sense anything from you. You’re really useless!”
This guy was always trying to get Ye Chen to agree to marry his daughter to his son. If he did not teach him properly, what if his son really won his daughter’s heart in the future?
After all, time passed by quickly.
Yang Tian was so embarrassed that he did not know what to say after being humiliated by Ye Chen. He was wondering if he should express what he thought.
‘It’s only been three days. How could I have improved so fast?’
Lin Tai, who was next to Yang Tian, held his head low. He suppressed the laughter in him, showing an expression that he was holding back.
In reality, he regretted not having a wife or any plans of having a son. However, he had given up on that thought now.
Did he not see that Ye Chen was so protective of his daughter?
Eventually, Ye Hai shook his head and said while smiling, “Let’s go. Let’s go home. It’s windy here. Your mom has bought some groceries to cook for you.”
…
After lunch, Ye Chen walked to the room on the second floor of the villa. He saw the Patriarch of Hell still lying on the bed. Besides the fact that he was tucked into the blanket, there were many toys around him…
He could not help but turn his head to ask Lin Tai who was behind him, “Who did this? Does a dog deserve such a good life?”
“It was Aunty who did it,” Lin Tai said unnaturally, “When you were gone, Aunty would come here to look at him a few times a day. She would cry occasionally. She even fought with Uncle because of this dog.”
Throughout the few days, Wu Lan had taken extra care of the patriarch. She treated him like her real son.
“Why did they fight?” Ye Chen frowned.
Lin Tai hesitated and said, “Uncle wanted to put the patriarch’s body into the freezer to prevent him from rotting, but she refused to do that…”
Ye Chen was speechless.
His father must be ridiculous to have wanted to put the patriarch into the freezer. Fortunately, his mother had rejected that idea. Otherwise, he might not be able to revive the patriarch when he returned with the Nine-section Soul Herb.
“You may leave first!” Ye Chen shook his head slightly. After Lin Tai left, he took the Nine-section Soul Herb out of his storage ring. He brought over the other herbs that he had prepared earlier too.
“Although the patriarch damaged his soul power, he also damaged his foundation after performing the forbidden method by force. I’m afraid a Soul-brewing Pill isn’t enough!”
As he looked at the patriarch that was in bed, he looked as if he was in deep thought. “It seems I’ll have to refine a medicinal pill to recover his foundation. The best way is to refine a Foundation Pill for him. Apart from helping one to break through Foundation Building, the Foundation Pill can also polish one’s foundation.
“However, I’m lacking the herbs to refine the Foundation Pill now. I won’t be able to gather them for now, so I can only use the regular Qi Cultivation Pill now!”
Ye Chen did not hesitate anymore as he thought to this point. He sat on the ground with his legs crossed instantly, using his Divine Consciousness to cover the Qi-gathering Pill and the other herbs. He opened his mouth to spit a mouthful of True Samadhi Fire out.
…
An hour later, a green medicinal pill hovered quietly in the air. It was the size of a longan.
It was the Soul-brewing Pill!
The medicinal pill was covered in a green halo. Ye Chen, who had exhausted his Divine Consciousness, was recovering by merely sniffing the pill fragrance.
However, he did not eat it. After all, it was for the Patriarch of Hell. He looked at the Patriarch of Hell on the bed again.
“I’ve always been cold about others’ death. I’ve always been doing things that benefit me. It’s not an exaggeration to say that I’m selfish. The path of cultivation is all about fighting to win. It’s a reality of each other competing to be cunning to each other. Even the deities in the temple fight for incense! However, you, the Patriarch of Hell, sacrificed yourself to save my family. I’ll repay you by ten folds!”
He flicked his fingers as soon as he was done speaking. He shot the Soul-brewing Pill hovering in the air into the Patriarch of Hell’s body. It integrated with the patriarch, then he was covered in a green halo.
There was a sense of immortality faintly coming out of the halo.
Ye Chen lifted his arms and released spiritual energy into the Patriarch of Hell’s body. At the same time, he said in his deep voice, “The Patriarch of Hell, when will you ever wake up if not now?!”
