318 A Mistaken Encounter with Zhou Donghuang (1/2)
Inside the house, Zhou Donghuang sat cross-legged and meditated until he replenished his inner essential core.
The him now had already consumed many core drugs that could help with the replenishing of his inner essential core.
After resting for a while and being assured that he had enough essential core to set up formations, he began to set up energy-gathering positions within the room to allow the four Primordial Soul Powers within him to replenish their inner essential cores as well.
Of course, the Spirit energy on the Ziyun planet was definitely lacking in comparison to the Spirit energy on the other planets he had visited in the past. As a result, these energy-gathering positions had less potency, and he had to rely more on the spirit stone veins within the energy-gathering position to accumulate Spirit energy for him to train with.
After three days and three nights and after using up many spirit stone veins, Zhou Donghuang managed to get his White Tiger Primordial Soul Power back to its original state of energy.
As for his other three Primordial Soul Powers, they had only managed to regain a small portion of their essential core.
Under such circumstances, Zhou Donghuang stopped his training and decided to rest further. This was because resting would help his Primordial Soul Powers to recuperate, and it was not urgent for him to help them recover. With his strength now, he was mostly dependent only on the White Tiger Primordial Soul Power.
Furthermore, his White Tiger Primordial Soul Power had already crossed over to the ultimate Primordial Soul stage. In the entire Kaiyuan galaxy, with this White Tiger Primordial Soul Power, he would be able to take on anyone without fear, let alone mere citizens of the Ziyun planet.
Now, what Zhou Donghuang wanted to do most was to see his mother, Lin Lan and his sister, Yun Lu.
Knock knock...
After opening his door, Zhou Donghuang immediately saw some people stand up before the stone table in his courtyard. Out of this group, two were young ladies that he had met when he had first returned. The other two were the people he had wanted to meet the most but couldn't find.
”Brother!”
A tiny and endearing figure shot directly into the arms of Zhou Donghuang. He smiled and obligingly opened his arms, embracing the little girl.
”Brother... you're finally back! I've missed you, I've really missed you.”
The little girl who had ran into Zhou Donghuang's arms was naturally Yun Lu. Although it had been five years, time did not seem to have any effect on Yun Lu as she still looked extremely small and childish.
Seeing this, Zhou Donghuang was unsurprised, although he felt saddened by this as well.
If not, she would have to enter the Heavenly stage and reconstruct her own body.
”I've missed you too.”
Zhou Donghuang picked Yun Lu up in his arms and walked over to where the other three ladies were. Seeing as his mother did not have too many changes, he spoke in a relieved tone, ”Mother, I'm back.”
”It's good that you're home.”
The person he was standing before was naturally his foster mother, Lin Lan. It had been five years since she had last seen her son, and tears streamed out her eyes in relief.
As Zhou Donghuang had been venturing out to unknown lands, she had naturally been extremely worried for him.
It was undeniable that Zhou Donghuang had always brought her peace of mind.
However, the places he chose to go were often dangerous galaxies where he could possibly meet with problems at any time. Because of that, over the last few years, she had been concerned about her son's safety.
Now, seeing as Zhou Donghuang had managed to return home in one piece, she could finally let go of the burden that had been weighing her down the past few years.
”Brother Zhou.”
”Brother Zhou.”
Now, both Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei stared at Zhou Donghuang with a look of relief as well. They had both lost their childish looks long ago and now looked much more graceful and ladylike.
Although they had seen each other three days ago, that was not the right time for them to reunite, given the circumstances then. Now that they had the rare chance to meet up again, they were thankful for the opportunity as they recalled their past memories together.
”You've all grown up.”
Zhou Donghuang glanced at the two ladies and smiled while sighing to himself internally.
He had assumed that after these five years, when he next saw these two ladies, they would no longer be infatuated with him like they had been previously. He had hoped that they would go about their own business in their own lives.
Perhaps, they could possibly meet other men that they were interested in.
However, at this moment, upon seeing the two ladies' hopeful glances, he could infer that he had made a wrong assumption.
In reality, be it Yang Zixi or Ren Jiapei, even though they had met him when they were still young, Zhou Donghuang's talents had long been admired by them.
It was not like there weren't any other suitors that were chasing after them. However, they either found them too childish or too incompetent. Either way, none of these men could match up to the great Zhou Donghuang in their eyes.
To them, he was the golden standard that others would find it hard to match up to.
”Brother, was it fun exploring other galaxies?”
Not only did Yun Lu still look like a child, but her nature was similar to that of a child as well. In the entire Donghuang Sect, everyone endearingly called her by her nickname, ”little princess.”
Seeing Yun Lu stare at him with big, watery eyes that were filled with curiosity, Zhou Donghuang sat down at the stone table with her on his lap. He smiled and said, ”Of course it was fun.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Lu's face filled with anticipation as well as desire. ”In that case... Brother, when can I leave the Ziyun planet and explore other galaxies?”
Yun Lu's big eyes widened, and she stared wistfully at Zhou Donghuang.
”If you wish to go out there, I can bring you anytime.”
Zhou Donghuang smiled. ”After I've finished settling my work, let me take you on a trip. Does that sound good to you?”
”Yes!”
