Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Unable to Live, Unable to Die

Zhao Rou smiled and said, "Brother Hai, we won’t be coming here again."

She was overjoyed, and the smile on her face was no longer forced.

In just two short days, Zhao Rou seemed to have become several years younger.

She was truly happy at this moment.

"Dad, Mom, don’t worry. Our lives will only get better from now on," Li Yang said with a smile.

"Mm."

Li Guohai and Zhao Rou both nodded. They looked at their son with pride and adoration, but also with heartache and worry.

Next, Li Yang would officially enter the Cultivation Realm, where life was completely different from the ordinary world.

...

A few hours later, Li Yang’s family of four returned home.

"Guohai, you’re back?"

"Guohai, you’re looking so much better! How are you feeling?"

Li Guohai’s return undoubtedly surprised the surrounding neighbors.

They all knew that Li Guohai had cancer.

But now, Li Guohai looked to be in high spirits.

Li Guohai said with a smile, "I used the Anticancer Agent. My illness is cured now."

There was no reason to hide it; people would definitely keep asking about it later anyway.

"Guohai, congratulations!"

"I knew you’d get better."

"How did Li Guohai get to use the Anticancer Agent? I’ve only ever seen it in news reports. I’ve never actually seen anyone use it in real life."

"You idiot! It’s obvious his son, Li Yang, got the Anticancer Agent for him!"

"That’s right! Li Yang’s luck is insane. He caught an eight-thousand-jin large yellow croaker and sold it for over twenty million! Then he even caught more than ten Bluefin Tuna! Did you see the news? Those dozen or so Bluefin Tuna from the Xuan City auction house sold for a total of one hundred million! Li Yang has one hundred and twenty million. With that much money, what’s so strange about buying a vial of Anticancer Agent?"

"Li Guohai is so lucky to have a son who can make so much money."

...

Li Guohai’s return after being cured of cancer undoubtedly caused a stir in the neighborhood.

To the general public, cancer was still an incurable disease.

After the news spread, everyone started talking about Li Yang.

Many people had also seen Li Yang catch the dozen-plus Bluefin Tuna, so that news had naturally spread as well.

Everyone marveled at how capable Li Yang was, to have actually obtained the Anticancer Agent and cured Li Guohai.

While the crowd was gossiping, Li Yang and his family enjoyed a nice breakfast.

"Here, Yangyang, eat some more."

"Your mom made this herself this morning."

"Yangyang, this is delicious too."

At breakfast, Li Yang was undoubtedly the center of attention.

Li Yang smiled and ate everything his parents put on his plate. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

He didn’t feel full at all anymore. Even if his stomach was stuffed, he could just circulate his Cultivation Technique and rapidly digest all the food.

Finally, breakfast came to an end, and Li Yang suddenly stood up.

"Yangyang."

Li Guohai, Zhao Rou, and Li Xue all looked at Li Yang, their eyes filled with reluctance to see him go.

Li Yang was leaving today.

That morning, another Cultivator from Coastal City had contacted Li Yang. They planned to meet up with the main group and then head to the island.

The island was in a remote location and required a special fighter jet to reach. It wasn’t as if Li Yang and the other Cultivators could just go one by one, right? Of course, the group had to gather and travel together.

"Yangyang, be careful. If you can’t beat someone, just run away and find a safe place."

Zhao Rou said, full of worry. She knew a lot about Cultivators; it was all too common for them to fight, and getting injured was a regular occurrence.

"Mom, I know," Li Yang said with a smile.

Li Guohai didn’t say anything, just patted Li Yang on the shoulder.

He had recovered now, but his son was about to enter the dangerous Cultivation Realm.

"Dad, I will definitely fulfill the promise I made," Li Yang said with a smile, looking at Li Guohai.

Hearing his son’s words, Li Guohai’s eyes instantly blurred with tears. He knew what Li Yang was talking about.

’Dad, I will win back your dignity from the Zhao family! I will make every single member of the Zhao family see that Mom didn’t make the wrong choice!’

Those words from the past seemed to echo in his ears.

Li Guohai’s eyes were blurry. He took a sharp breath, his gaze filled with pride and adoration as he said, "Yangyang, Dad will be waiting for that day."

Finally, Li Yang looked at his older sister, Li Xue.

"Sis, I’ll leave Mom and Dad in your care."

He still didn’t know how long this trip to the island would take.

"Yangyang, don’t worry."

Li Xue nodded quickly, unable to stop herself from adding, "Yangyang, you have to be careful."

In the end, Li Yang took one last look at his parents and sister, then turned and left.

Li Guohai, Zhao Rou, and Li Xue watched Li Yang’s departing figure for a long time, unwilling to look away.

...

「Jing City, the Zhao family estate.」

Zhao Kun was reporting to Zhao Qianxing. "Father, Li Guohai and Little Sis have been discharged from the hospital and have returned to Coastal City."

Zhao Qianxing nodded and said, "Li Yang must have joined the Celestial Origin Palace. Getting two vials of the Anticancer Agent would be no problem for him then."

It was no joke. The Anticancer Agent came from the Celestial Origin Palace. As long as one was a member, exchanging one contribution point for a vial of the Anticancer Agent was effortless; there was no difficulty at all.

Zhao Kun added, "Also, our investigation shows that Li Yang is part of the group on this island expedition."

Zhao Qianxing’s expression turned cold. "Zheng Qian will also be going to that island this time. Li Yang still dares to go?"

’A Celestial-Level Cultivator, and Li Yang dares to appear before him?’

Zhao Kun explained, "According to my information, the Celestial Origin Palace will establish a home base on that island. As long as he stays near the base, he won’t have to worry about anyone else making a move."

Hearing this, Zhao Qianxing nodded.

"Xiaoxiang will be going this time too, won’t he?" Zhao Qianxing asked.

Zhao Xiang, Zhao Kun’s son, was the only member of the Zhao family with any Talent for cultivation. He was currently at the Middle Profound Level.

"Yes. Xiaoxiang said there are Spirit Fruits and Medicinal Herbs on the island that can enhance his strength. If he finds any, it would be a great help for him in breaking through to the Earth-Level," Zhao Kun nodded.

Speaking of his son, his expression softened considerably.

"Mm. When Xiaoxiang goes, tell him not to have any contact with Li Yang. We need to prevent the Zheng family from becoming dissatisfied with us," Zhao Qianxing instructed.

As a Profound Level Cultivator, Zhao Xiang’s strength would definitely be in the lower tier on that island. After all, even some Celestial-Level Cultivators like Zheng Qian had some interest in the island and wanted to explore it.

If he got too close to Li Yang and was noticed by Zheng Qian, Zhao Xiang would find it impossible to make a single move.

Right now, their attitude toward Li Yang, who had completely offended the Zheng family, was to stay away, far away! They couldn’t let anyone think they had even the slightest connection!

"I know, Father. I already told Xiaoxiang," Zhao Kun nodded. He had, of course, already told his son about this.

Zhao Xiang was the hope of the Zhao family. Absolutely nothing could be allowed to happen to him.

...

While the Zhao family was discussing Li Yang, the Zheng family also discovered the news of his trip to the island.

When Zheng Qian learned the news, a violent aura instantly erupted from him, and a savage, twisted look appeared on his face!

"Li Yang, on that island, I’ll make you wish you were dead!"
