Chapter 6: Heavenly Demon's Homecoming
"Ahh~ I can't believe I'm back on the Blue Star!" Ye Tian exclaimed with a grin.
"The sun is shining bright, the sound of cars and people bustling about, and the unique beauty of the city! All things that couldn't be found anywhere on the Tianxuan Continent."
Ye Tian had just stepped out of the hospital, a smile spreading across his face as he greedily inhaled the city air.
Despite its impurities and the faint scent of smog, he found it far more refreshing than the aura-filled air of the Tianxuan Continent.
"Haha, not only that, but it seems the Great Restoration Technique made me a bit more handsome," he chuckled, noticing the sidelong glances he received from passing girls and women. Ye Tian knew it was a result of his bone marrow being cleansed and his physique renewed.
Before, he was at best a seven on the attractiveness scale. Now, he was well above a ten.
His acne had completely cleared, his once-pale skin now radiated with a healthy glow, and his body fat had dispersed, giving his figure a chiseled, athletic look.
His hair and pupils, no longer a dull black, had a luminous quality that seemed to imbue him with a certain otherworldly spirituality.
Had his parents not been so familiar with him, and had their minds not been occupied with Chen Fan's incident and his health, they might not have recognized him at all.
Dressed in a simple pair of blue jeans, black sneakers, and an oversized white shirt, Ye Tian's aura was still impossible to conceal.
"Speaking of Mum and Dad, they're probably worried out of their minds. I should hurry up and go home."
He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone, which the hospital had returned to him along with his pre-surgery clothes.
As he unlocked it, a message from his mother popped up:
[ [Mum]: "Here, son, your dad said we should leave you and the doctor to talk. I don't know what's going on, but Mum trusts you.
[Mum]: Have this, it should be enough for you to get some food and come home."]
[Ding! Notification!]
[Contact Mum has sent 1000 Yuan!]
Seeing this, a warm sensation filled Ye Tian's chest.
Even though he had been gone for so long, his memories of the Blue Star were still as clear as day. He knew just how difficult his family's financial situation was.
With both his parents working in an ordinary breakfast shop, this 1,000 Yuan was probably an entire day's earnings.
"I need to do something about our family's financial situation," he muttered under his breath.
Yet, he wasn't too worried. With his abilities as the Heavenly Demon, making money wouldn't be an issue.
Even with the minimal aura on the Blue Star, it was more than enough for him to accomplish many things.
"Plus, the demonic bead seems to have followed me back, so I don't have to be completely dependent on aura," he thought.
"Even if the energy is minimal, as long as I kill enough animals, I can do a lot here on the Blue Star."
Ye Tian shook his head and continued scrolling through his messages.
[ [Dad]: "Hey son, I gave your mum some money to send to you. Don't worry about anything. If that guy Chen Fan or whatever disturbs you again, just let your old man know.
How dare he try to lay a hand on my wife? If I was there, I would have shown him why the flowers are red."]
[ [Sister]: "Hey brother! How did you punch that guy flying? Did you get some kind of superpowers after the surgery?
Or did you get reborn from some kind of apocalypse with your powers?! Or wait, what if you're not my brother and you've snatched the house!
Does that mean we're technically not related and you're going to add me to your harem on your journey to become the protagonist?!
Nooo! I have to go and tell Mum and Dad!" ]
Reading his dad's message, Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle.
He knew his father well; calm and mellow in front of his mother but fiercely protective when it came to his family.
It was also why he had acted with such confidence in front of them—he knew his father would always support him.
However, as he read his sister's message, Ye Tian's expression turned increasingly sour. "Damn, what goes through that girl's head?" he muttered.
"I have to stop her from reading all those web novels when I get home. Who the hell wants to add her to a harem? And who was taken away?!"
Thinking of how to handle Ye Ling when he got home, Ye Tian put his phone away.
"Alright, that's enough for now. I need to figure out how to explain that I've been in another world for ten thousand years and suddenly came back," he murmured.
Ye Tian had decided to tell his family about his experience in the other world, not for any trivial reason, but for three main ones:
Firstly, he saw no reason to lie or hide the truth from them.
Secondly, he planned to teach them some techniques, even if only the basics, to ensure they could protect themselves and stay healthy, preventing incidents like the one at the hospital.
And lastly, there was something he needed to confirm when he got home. If his suspicions were correct, not only would he be in trouble, but everyone on the Blue Star would be in serious danger.
"However, I might just be imagining things," he muttered, though his worried expression suggested otherwise.
Clap!
Clapping his hands together, Ye Tian decided to stop overthinking it. He would cross that bridge when he got there.
"As for what to tell them, I'll just share everything, except the existence of the demonic bead."
"But... would they still treat me the same, knowing all the sins I've committed as the Heavenly Demon?" he wondered. "
Although I did it all to see them again, would they see it that way? Betrayal, genocide, all kinds of sins..."
For the first time in thousands of years, Ye Tian felt an emotion he hadn't experienced in a long time
worry!
