Chapter 1296: Chapter 926: Where Dreams Begin (Grand Finale) (Part 3)

Zhao Changhe put away his smile and said seriously, "I want... to take you all home."

As the two exchanged glances, it seemed as though thousands of unspoken words and countless images flickered in their eyes.

Under Ling Ruoyu’s curious gaze, Ye Wuming responded softly, "Okay, I’ll go home with you."

Zhao Changhe turned to look around, "Are we all ready?"

Laughter resounded around him, "I’ve long wanted to see what kind of place could raise a bastard like you."

Zhao Changhe’s gaze landed on Xia Chichi’s face, her smile holding a trace of anticipation, mixed with a bit of melancholy.

It wasn’t just the place her husband came from, it was also her father’s place of origin... In some sense, it was a homeland she had never set foot in.

"On the day we return to our time and space?" Ye Wuming asked.

This was a meaning only the two of them understood... Zhao Changhe remained silent for a long while before shaking his head and saying, "I really miss Dad and Mom. On the day during school time, let’s skip to summer vacation. I want to go home."

"Alright." Ye Wuming held his hand, closing his eyes. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The next moment, the Heavenly Book streaked across the night sky like a meteor, the dimension folded, disappearing from sight.

...

July blazing with fire, the summer’s scorching heat.

Residents of the urban village gathered under the big banyan tree, chatting.

Students were on vacation, fearlessly basking under the sun, playing basketball in groups and performing rap in the streets at noon.

The older ladies watched with squinted smiles, asking each other, "I say, Old Zhao, why hasn’t your Changhe come home for vacation this year?"

Old Zhao’s expression was somewhat melancholy, "I don’t know why, his phone has been turned off all this time, he’s been on vacation for several days now without a word. This kid wasn’t like this before..."

Someone chimed in, "Well, maybe he got tricked into a pyramid scheme..."

"What are you saying? Can’t you wish for something good?"

"I’m just offering a reference, in case it’s true, better prepared than not, right..."

"That’s nonsense; that kid is sharp, can’t be fooled so easily. I bet he’s probably dating someone."

Old Zhao’s expression brightened somewhat, "His mom and I guessed that too, tall and handsome, yet never held a girl’s hand, so embarrassing. If he were to be fooled, I’d bet it’d be dying for a woman."

"So the case is solved, isn’t it?" The earlier person continued, "Maybe he’s being tricked by a Demoness into a pyramid scheme nest..."

"Get lost!" Old Zhao dropped his cigarette, grabbed the man’s collar, ready to throw a punch.

If people from the Heavenly Book World saw this, they’d know the Beimang Mountain bandits still had a heritage.

The older lady shouted hysterically, "Beating women! Beating women!"

Elderly men and ladies crowded over to mediate, "Calm down, talk it out..."

"Who’s talking about pyramid schemes?" Amidst the chaos, from afar, Changhe’s mom returned briskly, carrying bags full of groceries, "Maybe he’s bringing home his wife tonight. You all know nothing!"

The older lady retreated into the crowd, sneering, "With your family’s quality, what decent girl would come home with him, unless she’s blind?"

Before she finished speaking, the sound of a teenager falling while playing basketball echoed down the street.

The noise seemed to have a magical power, suddenly quieting the street’s hubbub, leaving only the basketball bouncing, with no one picking it up.

People under the banyan tree turned their heads to see the Main Character discussed earlier approaching with a group of girls in Hanfu.

All the teenage boys playing basketball stared at this group of women, mouths agape, nearly drooling.

"Where did these Heavenly Immortals come from?" Someone murmured, "Even celebrities aren’t this beautiful and classy, and there’s so many at once..."

"Did a Heroine run out from a book? I feel like I’ve seen something like this..."

Zhao Changhe seemed to overhear this and turned to smile, "That’s one way to say it..."

"Which book?"

"Chaotic World Book."

"?"

"Brother Zhao!" A teenager dared to shout, "Who are they...?"

Zhao Changhe flashed a bright smile, "Your sisters-in-law."

"Thud..." The street saw a flurry of bodies falling, overcome by the summer heat.

The women looked around with interest, everything here was fascinating to them.

Strange attire, strange roads, strange tall buildings, strange big balls.

A world without Spiritual Energy, yet it’s developed a civilization different from their own.

This civilization nurtured their husband.

Zhao Changhe ignored the teenagers, leading his wives toward the banyan tree. The older lady who’d been speaking out stepped back step by step, feeling a vague sense of fear.

The unexplainable pressure... like being eyed by a tiger, bloodthirsty and fierce.

Even some cultured old men had a term arise in their minds: "Tiger-walk going dragonlike."

How did this kid change so much over just one semester...

The old couple stood there dazed, feeling that their son seemed to have undergone some small change... More mature, as if he’s aged two or three years... Well, maybe two or three years doesn’t look much different, but the change in aura was dramatic, as if he’s weathered hardships.

Did he really go to a pyramid scheme nest and return? What’s with so many beautiful women?

Zhao Changhe finally stood before them, saying softly, "Dad, Mom, I’m back."

Others couldn’t know why this simple sentence contained a tremble. It’s only been a semester, not his first time away from home; aren’t you in sophomore or junior year... why suddenly so sentimental?

Only the women behind him knew, it was the weathering of thirty-three years.

Ye Wuming lowered his head.

"It’s good you’re back, it’s good you’re back, remember to charge your phone next time, look at your impatience."
