"Haowa! You're finally back!" Clan Chief Shi Yunfeng was the first to greet him. He looked at Shi Hao with excitement on his face, and his voice trembled slightly.
"Grandpa Clan Chief, what's wrong? Has something happened in the village?" Shi Hao asked hurriedly, his heart tightening.
"It's nothing, it's nothing! It's great news!"
Shi Yunfeng's face flushed with excitement. He grabbed Shi Hao's shoulder and pointed to a stone house deep in the village, his voice hoarse with emotion:
"Hao'er! Quick! Go and see!"
"Your...your grandfather...is back!!!"
What?! Grandpa?!
Shi Hao was instantly stunned!
He...he didn't hear wrong, did he?!
Is that the Fifteenth Master, who shot and killed a Pixiu cub in order to build his own foundation, bringing about a great disaster and ultimately being forced to flee to a distant land, his fate unknown? Shi Zhongtian?
He... actually found this place?
"And there's also Ah Man! Miss Ah Man came back with us too!"
Shi Linhu, standing next to him, added, his face also filled with excitement.
Ah Man?!
That little girl who stayed by his side during his most desperate and helpless time, bringing him warmth and hope?!
She's here too?!
Thinking of this, his eyes instantly reddened!
He didn't have time to say another word to the villagers!
He flashed and rushed directly towards the stone house that the clan leader Shi Yunfeng had pointed to!
The door to the stone house was ajar.
Shi Hao reached out with trembling hands and gently pushed open the simple stone door that held his endless longing.
squeak-
As the stone door opened, dim yellow light spilled out from inside the room.
Shi Hao saw it.
He saw a familiar yet slightly unfamiliar figure sitting at a simple stone table with his back to the door, seemingly looking down at something.
The figure was no longer as tall and upright as he remembered; in fact, he appeared somewhat hunched over, and his hair had turned gray.
But that familiar aura of iron will and fortitude, which seemed to be able to support the entire sky, could not be concealed!
It was his grandfather, Shi Zhongtian, whom he thought about day and night and whose soul was filled with longing!
Seemingly hearing the door open, Shi Zhongtian slowly turned around.
When he saw the boy standing at the door, who had grown quite a bit taller and whose brows were full of heroic spirit.
Those eyes, once as sharp as a hawk's, now filled with weariness and vicissitudes, widened instantly!
"You...you are..."
His voice trembled with disbelief.
Looking at his grandfather, who had endured so much suffering and grievance for his sake, Shi Hao could no longer suppress the excitement and sorrow in his heart!
"Meet Grandfather!"
Shi Hao's voice was choked with emotion and excitement.
At that moment, he became completely one with this world.
Chapter 101: Shi Haojun descends upon the Immortal Mountain, and the ruthless Empress Liu Shen astounds the world!
Shi Zhongtian looked at his grandson, who was completely different from the baby in his memory and had now grown into a strong and upright man.
Looking into the genuine emotion in his eyes, listening to his heartfelt plea…
This was the God of War of the Stone Kingdom, who fought his entire life with unwavering integrity and never shed a single tear!
At this moment, tears finally streamed down my face!
"Good...good boy..."
He reached out his hands, trembling, and hugged Shi Hao.
"Young Master!"
A clear, melodious voice, tinged with a sob, rang out.
A girl dressed in simple clothes, with delicate features, who looked to be about ten years old, ran out from behind Shi Zhongtian.
Upon seeing Shi Hao, her eyes instantly welled up with tears. She rushed forward, tightly embracing his arm, sobbing uncontrollably.
“Young…Young Master…you…you really are Young Master? Waaaaah…That’s great…you’re still alive…that’s great…waaaah…”
It is indeed Aman!
The little maid who stayed by Shi Hao's side all those years ago, taking meticulous care of him, and never leaving him even in his most desperate moments!
Although it had been several years since they last met, she had grown from a naive little girl into a graceful and beautiful young woman, but her pure and kind eyes and her deep dependence on Shi Hao had never changed!
Looking at the girl in front of him, her face streaked with tears, yet still undeniably beautiful and charming, Shi Hao felt a surge of warmth and emotion as he sensed her heartfelt excitement and joy.
He reached out and gently patted Aman's head, softly comforting her, "Silly girl, don't cry, it's me, I'm back."
“Young Master…” A-Man looked up at Shi Hao with teary eyes, choking back sobs, “A-Man…A-Man missed you so much…”
"I miss you too." Shi Hao looked at her with a sincere smile on his face.
Grandfather and grandson recognize each other, master and servant reunite.
At this moment, the stone house was filled with the joy and tears of a long-awaited reunion.
……
To celebrate the safe return of Grandpa Shi "387", the villagers spontaneously lit a bonfire again and prepared an even grander welcome feast.
Shi Zhongtian sat by the campfire, listening to the clan chief Shi Yunfeng and Shi Linhu, among others, vividly recount Shi Hao's "glorious deeds" over the years—
From breaking through to enlightenment by drinking milk, to displaying his might in the Void God Realm; from seizing treasures in Hundred Broken Mountains, to annihilating the Rain Clan and slaying kings and nobles; and then to causing havoc in the Martial King's Mansion, where the Human Emperor bestowed upon him the title of Desolate Marquis...
The old man was deeply moved and excited as he listened! His gaze towards Shi Hao was filled with indescribable pride and honor!
His grandson! Shi Zhongtian's grandson! He certainly didn't disappoint him!
He not only survived! But he lived such a brilliant and dazzling life!
The humiliation and pain he suffered back then ultimately became the driving force for his growth, making him stronger and more extraordinary!
Ah Man, on the other hand, followed Shi Hao closely, like a little tail.
She listened curiously to Shi Hao and Pi Hou's boasting and joking for a while, and then ran off to help Huo Ling'er prepare barbecue. She was busy and happy, and her pretty little face was always filled with a pure and joyful smile.
Being able to return to the young master's side and see him become so powerful and happy is the greatest happiness for her.
……
Just as Shicun was immersed in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.
At the village entrance, beneath the willow tree bathed in moonlight.
Two figures, both exceptionally beautiful yet exuding completely different auras, stood quietly.
The ruthless empress gazed at the distant, bustling campfire, filled with the lively sounds of people, a scene brimming with the warmth of everyday life. Then she looked at the boy beside the campfire, flanked by Aman and Huo Ling'er, his face beaming with a warm smile…
In the depths of her seemingly eternally unchanging, icy eyes, a very rare and extremely subtle hint of envy flashed.
There was also a hint of indescribable loneliness?
Once upon a time, she also had such a brother... whom she was willing to give everything to protect.
Unfortunately……
Fate is capricious; destiny is unpredictable.
The warmth of relying on each other for survival ultimately turned into eternal regret and obsession.
"When...will we meet again..."
A barely audible sigh, like a dream, escaped her lips and drifted away on the wind, leaving no trace.
Beside her, the countless emerald green branches of the Willow God swayed gently, as if they too could sense the indescribable sadness and obsession in her heart.
The Willow Goddess did not speak, but silently emitted a soft green light, like the gentlest comfort, silently accompanying this peerless empress who had also been lonely for countless ages.
The night is getting darker.
……
The next morning.
Shi Hao woke up refreshed from his cultivation.
He first went to visit his grandfather, Shi Zhongtian, and found that after a night of meditation, coupled with the nourishment of the rich spiritual energy of Shi Village, the old man's mental state had improved a lot, and he felt much more at ease.
Then, he found Aman. Looking at this little girl who was still a bit reserved but trying her best to do something for him, Shi Hao felt a warmth in his heart.
He did not regard Aman merely as a maid, but rather as his own younger sister.
He took out some spiritual herbs and cultivation techniques that he had brought back from the outside world, suitable for women to cultivate, and gave them to Aman, telling her to cultivate diligently.
Ah Man was both surprised and delighted, and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
After settling his grandfather and Aman in, Shi Hao went to the willow tree.
He knew he could no longer indulge in this fleeting peace and warmth.
Everlasting Mountain!
That upper realm lineage that imprisoned his mother and forced his father to endure humiliation!
It's time to make a trip!
No matter the cost, he will bring his parents back! To reunite the family!
At the same time, there is also Kunpengzi under the Five Elements Mountain!
