She could not stop shaking as she stared at Ye Chen. She could not bear to move her eyes away at all.
"Brother, is that you?"
It had been 17 years. She had been missing and looking forward to the figure in the distance for countless days and nights.
However, she felt like she was dreaming when she saw him now. She was afraid that the familiar figure would disappear before her eyes in the next moment.
Ye Chen took a few steps forward and held her hand gently. He said in a trembling voice, "It's me. I'm back …"
"Wah …"
At that moment, Ye Wen, who was stubborn, cried out loud. She then fell into Ye Chen's embrace hard and cried like a teenage girl who felt wronged.
Her tears flowed crazily. Her heart-wrenching and aggrieved cries spread to countless nearby sheds.
Ye Chen felt a lump in his throat when he sensed her grievance. Endless self-blame surged within him.
Second Uncle Ye Ming had been kind to him since he was young.
It was also because of him that Second Uncle and Second Aunt died tragically.
He had sworn to take good care of Ye Wen in front of Second Uncle and Second Aunt's coffin. Never had he thought that Ye Chen would suffer so much.
He could not help but pat Ye Wen's back lightly as he thought to this point. He took a deep breath in and said, "Be good, don't cry. I'm back. I won't let anyone bully you anymore."
Ye Wen let go of Ye Chen after she finally calmed down. She could not hold back her tears as she said, "Brother, I thought I'd never see you again …"
"Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about …"
Ye Chen was between laughter and tears.
Apart from feeling a little embarrassed, she could not help but say sadly, "I'm not a child anymore. I'm old …"
'I'm old …'
Ye Chen was on the verge of tears when he heard those three words.
Old!
The girl who was once in her prime was old. Now, she looked like a 50-year-old woman.
Time had left its mark on her body.
Ye Wen stretched her hand out and caressed the wrinkles on Ye Chen's face and his pale face. She could not help but cry, "Brother, how did you become like this?"
"There was a small accident. It's not a big problem."
Ye Chen chuckled softly and turned around to look at Su Yuhan behind him, "Look who this is?"
Ye Wen looked up and was stunned. She exclaimed in surprise, "Sister-in-law?"
"Wenwen …"
Su Yuhan wiped her tears away and hugged her. She sobbed, "I'm sorry that your brother and sister-in-law didn't take good care of you …"
"It's not your fault, it's not your fault. It's good that you're back." Ye Wen comforted her.
"I say, are you guys done crying?"
At this moment, an untimely voice sounded from the side, "Even if you want to cry, wait until this woman and I have consummated our marriage!"
Surprisingly, it was Cheng Ying who interrupted everything.
"Exactly!"
The young man in the suit said coldly, "You're making it look like you're crying at a funeral. You're messing up my mood."
"Hmm?"
Ye Chen then turned around to look at them. He had been focusing on Ye Wen when he entered the room earlier, so he neglected the duo.
"Sickly invalid, you are this woman's elder brother, right?"
The young man in the suit glanced at Ye Chen wryly. "Well, this Old Master Cheng has his eyes on your sister. If you're smart, it's best that you persuade your sister to agree to this."
"Say that again. Agree to what?" Ye Chen took a step forward and looked at him expressionlessly.
Although he concealed his aura, his deep gaze still made the young man in the suit's heart jolt. He retreated a few steps back by instinct.
"Is there something wrong with your ears?"
He scoffed and said, "I'm saying that Old Master Cheng wants to marry your sister. Old Master Cheng is from the Cheng family. You know the Cheng family, don't you? They're one of the three wealthy families in Lin City. Countless people want to join them no matter what. "
He did not notice that Cheng Ying was glaring at Ye Chen at the moment. He was shaking as if he had seen something terrifying.
Mad Southern Ye!
That name echoed in his head crazily!
17 years ago, he was only in his 30s. Although the Cheng family had yet to prosper back then, he had seen Ye Chen on television!
One could say that the name Mad Southern Ye was like a myth to him back then. He was like a god that he looked up to.
However, he was looking at this killing god at such a close distance now!
Ye Chen looked at him calmly and said coldly, "Are you going to marry my sister?"
Plop!
Cheng Ying knelt hard onto the ground and said while his body was shaking, "I-I wouldn't dare to. It's a mis-misunderstanding …"
Meanwhile, his sudden action shocked the young man in the suit next to him. He looked at him with his eyes wide open and said, "Old Master Cheng, w-what are you doing?"
"Misunderstanding?"
Ye Chen lifted his head to look at Ye Wen. "Is everything really a misunderstanding like what he said?"
Ye Wen looked at Cheng Ying hatefully and told him everything that had happened.
"Explain …"
Ye Chen looked at Cheng Ying in a condescending manner and said coldly, "If you can't explain yourself, I'll kill your entire family tonight!"
"No!"
Cheng Ying's body went limp upon hearing that. He then collapsed onto the ground in fear. "Mr. Ye, you can't kill me. You can't kill me. I'm from the Cheng family …"
"How dare you touch him?"
The young man in the suit also scolded, "He's from the Cheng family. If you dare touch him, the Cheng family won't …"
Ptui …
At that moment, a glaring saber gleam flashed through the air all of a sudden. It then slashed across Cheng Ying's neck.
Everything happened so fast that Cheng Ying did not even feel the pain.
Cheng Ying covered the wound on his neck that was getting bigger with his hand. Fresh blood dyed his hand red as he looked at Ye Chen in disbelief.
The young man in the suit did not move at all. Fear filled his face. Never had he thought that Ye Chen would really dare to kill him!
A long while later, the young man in the suit sensed a terrifying gaze. He shuddered and knelt hard onto the ground. "S-spare me. I-I was forced to do this …"
Ye Chen interrupted him before he was done speaking, "Clean this up. My wife doesn't like blood …"
"Sure, sure …"
The young man in the suit was stunned at first, then he snapped back to his senses. He knelt onto the ground and cleaned everything up immediately.
The young man in the suit only looked at Ye Chen in fear after the last bit of blood disappeared.
"Send his body to the Cheng family."
Ye Chen looked at him calmly. There was monstrous killing intent in his voice that tore the galaxy apart. "Tell them that I, Mad Southern Ye, am back!"
The young man in the suit was stunned again.
Not only did Ye Chen not kill him, but he even asked him to bring Cheng Ying's body back to the Cheng family to complain? He could not wrap his head around all of that.
However, seeing that Ye Chen did not look like he was faking it, he ran out with Cheng Ying's body while shuddering.
"Brother …"
After he left, Ye Wen, who had been silent, could not help but look at Ye Chen. She said worriedly, "The Cheng family is not to be trifled with …"
Her impression of Ye Chen was still at the beginner-level Nascent Soul before he went to the Ancient Desolate Realm. Such a cultivation base was not low even in today's society, but he was no longer at the top.
"Don't worry …"
Ye Chen nodded lightly and said, "I won't die. I'll take revenge for all of you guys!"
He could not help but look at Su Yuhan after saying that.
Seeming to have noticed the apology in his eyes, Su Yuhan could not help but say while smiling, "Dummy, I won't stop you this time."
Although she was kind, it did not mean that she had no bottom line. After returning to Earth, no matter if it was the Nine Dragons Bay being occupied or what happened to Ye Wen and the rest, they had crossed her bottom line!
"Sure!"
Seeing that Ye Chen insisted, Ye Wen stopped persuading him. She trusted Ye Chen from the bottom of her heart. Since Ye Chen was so confident, he must have some tricks up his sleeves.
At that moment, a timid voice came from the side, "A-Are you my uncle?"
Ye Chen looked over and saw a young man around 14 or 15 years old looking at him with his eyes wide open in excitement.
"Uncle?"
Ye Chen was a little confused by the way he addressed him. He could not help but look at Ye Wen by instinct, "This kid?"
Ye Wen said while smiling, "His name is Ye Sichen. We adopted him when he was young …"
Ye Chen could not help but walk over after listening to her story. He patted the little girl's head, "Well done. Thank you for everything you've done for me …"
Ye Sichen scratched his head shyly.
At the same time, hurried footsteps came from outside the house. Subsequently, a few ladies walked in.
They were all over 40 years old, but they looked exhausted. They looked like ordinary middle-aged women who had been through hardships.
When Ye Chen looked at the ladies, time seemed to have stopped.
Time seemed to have stopped all of a sudden.
