Chapter 833: (Tearful Reunion of Fellow Villagers)
Chapter 833 (Tearful Reunion of Fellow Villagers)
Inside the house, the four of them were stunned.
Especially Long Aotian and Meng Meng, this place was serene and beautiful, with a pristine environment. However, since they had arrived here, they had only encountered their 'eldest son' and hadn't seen anyone else. Unexpectedly, someone else had arrived today. It was quite surprising.
Long Aotian remained cautious. "Stay inside; I'll go outside to check the situation. Master, be ready to support your disciple."
The Death Assassin nodded in agreement.
Chu Yuxuan, on the side, was astonished. His father's master turned out to be an undead, which was impossible. Did that mean he had to call him "Master Grandfather"? He couldn't explain why he felt so resistant to this idea.
Outside, Long Aotian went to the wooden fence and observed.
The person outside was very peculiar, dressed in a thick cloak, dishevelled and dirty, resembling a beggar. His face had a deep beard, now whitened, making him look elderly. Next to him was a dog, with golden fur curled up, slightly emaciated but with a familiar face...
'Why does it resemble a golden retriever?
Could it be that golden retrievers existed in this world? That would be quite miraculous. Or was it possible that we hadn't really arrived in another world and were still in some corner of Earth?
Wait a minute, the way my "eldest son" had been dressed earlier... Could he be an actor?'
This time, Long Aotian hadn't guessed wrong. Chu Yuxuan had indeed been acting, but he was an actor from the Sapphire Continent, and a rather incompetent one at that, who had led himself into this situation.
Thus, the world's most miserable actor was born.
Long Aotian frowned. "Where are you from, and what's your purpose here?"
The elderly man outside didn't speak; he just stared at Long Aotian intensely.
Long Aotian felt like the person must have some grudge with him, considering the way he was being stared at. "Where are you from? Can you speak?"
Finally, the elderly man spoke, his voice trembling and hoarse. "You... you are... Long... Long Aotian!!!"
Hearing the old man's words, Long Aotian was dumbfounded. This person recognized him, but how was that possible?
"Who are you?!" Long Aotian was starting to get nervous. This felt like a paranormal event.
"I... I am Jiu Ye!!!" the old man blurted out.
Long Aotian suddenly remembered; he was Jiu Ye from Long'an City!!!
"You!!! You are Jiu Ye from Long'an City!!!" Long Aotian was shocked. How could this be? It felt like a dream.
"I am indeed Jiu Ye. Back then, didn't you cure my erectile dysfunction..." The old man's voice was shaky.
Hearing Jiu Ye's words, Long Aotian believed it. Indeed, he had cured Jiu Ye's condition in the past.
But!!! Back then, why did the person Jiu Ye called to help, end up beating him? However, in this unfamiliar world, meeting a fellow villager was still quite exciting.
Long Aotian quickly ran over, and the two men locked eyes passionately, then hugged tightly. All grudges were forgotten, and in this strange world, encountering a fellow villager was truly a stroke of luck.
"Woof, woof, woof..." The golden retriever on the side was, of course, Little Bao. Jiu Ye had brought him along.
"Jiu Ye, how did you end up here, and in this condition?" Long Aotian released Jiu Ye and asked with curiosity.
Jiu Ye sighed. "I was weary over there and wanted a change of scenery. But when I came here, I discovered that I seemed to be the only person in the entire world. It's been several months, and you're the first living person I've seen."
Jiu Ye indeed had a tough time. The teleportation had taken them to a very remote location. To be precise, both Long Aotian and Jiu Ye had arrived in a sparsely populated area, so they hadn't seen anyone for a long time.
Chu Yuxuan had ended up in a similarly desolate place.
For the past few months, Jiu Ye and Little Bao had been surviving by picking wild fruits from the trees or hunting some spiritual beasts. At least they hadn't starved to death. Jiu Ye used to enjoy watching wilderness survival shows like those hosted by Bear Grylls, and those memories were still fresh in his mind.
"Come inside and have a seat," Long Aotian quickly invited Jiu Ye, who breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he had encountered someone, and a familiar face at that.
"Meng Meng, Master, this is Jiu Ye," Long Aotian introduced as they all entered the house.
Upon seeing the Death Assassin, Jiu Ye exclaimed, "Black Robe!"
'Black Robe is here too! How was this possible?
If Black Robe had arrived, then it meant that the person must be here as well! Oh God, the bar owner's ghost seemed to be haunting me everywhere. Wherever I go, I end up encountering him.'
Jiu Ye used to want to seek his favour, but that wasn't happening anymore. He had grown indifferent to fame and fortune and was now living life freely, exploring mountains and rivers.
But Jiu Ye felt that the Black Robe in front of him was a bit strange, not like the usual Black Robe. The aura of this Black Robe felt more stable, while the previous Black Robe had been more playful... He still remembered that Black Robe had been fishing.
Biu biu biu...
But how did this Black Robe become Long Aotian's master? It was too bizarre.
"Husband, is this Jiu Ye?"
"Father, is this Jiu Ye?"
"Dad, is this Jiu Ye?"
Long Aotian laughed, "Yes, this is Jiu Ye, our fellow villager."
Jiu Ye looked at Chu Yuxuan, feeling that something was off.
Long Aotian might have a son, but this one was too big. The smaller one seemed more normal.
Could this be a case of accelerated growth, like those children who matured quickly?
"Jiu Ye, my eldest son here is an unexpected surprise," Long Aotian explained.
Hearing Long Aotian's words, Jiu Ye seemed to ponder for a moment. So, this was Long Aotian's other son. He could understand that; who didn't have a few illegitimate children?
"Fellow villager? What do you mean by that, dear?" Meng Meng didn't recognize Jiu Ye, which was normal, but she couldn't fathom what 'fellow villager' meant.
"Jiu Ye also came from our place," Long Aotian explained with a smile. He was in high spirits; finding a fellow villager here was a stroke of luck, and at least there were no hidden knives this time.
Meng Meng finally understood. "Husband, you entertain him; I'll go prepare some food."
"Thank you, sister-in-law," Jiu Ye said with a smile.
"Woof, woof, woof." Little Bao now knew how to express gratitude.
Long Aotian patted his son's head. "Call him 'Uncle.'"
"Hello, Uncle."
"Hello, little one," Jiu Ye pinched Long Yang's cheek and smiled.
Chu Yuxuan, on the side, also joined in. "Hello, Uncle."
Jiu Ye smiled in response. "Hello."
Suddenly, Chu Yuxuan extended his face forward.
Jiu Ye was puzzled, and even Long Aotian was confused. What did Chu Yuxuan mean by this? Did he want to be slapped?
Jiu Ye looked at Long Aotian, thinking, 'What does your eldest son want? Is he asking me to slap him?'
Long Aotian was quite puzzled too.
"Uncle, why aren't you pinching my cheeks?" Chu Yuxuan asked innocently.
Jiu Ye: "..."
Long Aotian: "..."
