Super Combat Soldier
Chapter 1763 - 1762: [Ye Tianchen Forced into Marriage by His Parents?]
Bang!
Liu Fei got punched again. In less than a day and a night, Liu Fei had been punched three times. First, he was punched by Ye Tianchen, then by his sister Liu Rumei, and finally by Ye Qianwen!
"Wow, that hurts. Qianwen, why did you hit me?" Liu Fei said, rubbing his head, feeling frustrated.
"Who has a spiritual connection with you? Always flattering yourself, aren’t you ashamed?" Ye Qianwen said grumpily.
"Hehe, I’m not flattering myself. It’s the truth. You said exactly what I was thinking, doesn’t that count as a spiritual connection?" Liu Fei chuckled.
Ye Qianwen gave Liu Fei a disdainful look and then shifted her position. She didn’t want to be too close to this guy. But Liu Fei, this fellow, was relentless and thick-skinned, insisting on sitting right next to Ye Qianwen.
"Dad, Mom, let me tell you first, if you really think of this kid as a three-year-old, then you’re completely wrong. This is a mischievous kid, you’ve got to be careful. Who knows what kind of tricks he might pull!" Ye Tianchen glanced at the Little Black Bear and said.
"Mischievous or not, he’s still just a child!" Ye Hong said.
"Rumei already told us about this kid. He went through so much hardship from a young age, it’s no wonder he’s a bit mature for his age. It’s actually not a great thing. I hope he can live happily in our family, and we’ll raise him well!" Luo Yan said kindly, smiling.
"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma!" the Little Black Bear said while gnawing on a big chicken leg, with a hurried manner.
"Good boy!"
"Slow down while eating!"
Seeing his parents doting on the Little Black Bear, Ye Tianchen felt somewhat relieved and contemplative. In a person’s life, especially ordinary mortals, when you’re young, you can’t do a lot of things adults do, so you want to grow up. When you grow up, you feel overwhelmed by worries and troubles and wish to go back to childhood. However, time in this world never goes backward. When you grow up, you get married and have children. By the time you’ve raised your children, you’re old and almost ready for the grave. This is the life of an ordinary person.
Everyone experiences birth, aging, sickness, and death. As people age, their only wish is for filial children and a few good friends and family members to keep them company with their grandchildren. This is the greatest comfort in old age. What more could one ask for?
"Tianchen, you’re not getting any younger. Isn’t it time to think about a lifelong commitment?" Ye Hong asked Ye Tianchen earnestly.
"Dad, I’ve got a lot going on lately. Maybe I shouldn’t think about this for now?" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.
"There are always things to do every day, and you’ll never finish them in a lifetime. Life’s significant events should be completed one by one. Your mom and I want to see you get married and have children!" Luo Yan said with a smile.
"Mom, what are you talking about? You and Dad are recovering day by day, aren’t you? There’s nothing to worry about. You’ll surely see me get married and have kids, and I’ll definitely give you grandchildren!" Ye Tianchen said seriously.
"Who can tell about such matters? Even though your mom and I are recovering, we’re not getting younger. The moon waxes and wanes, and fortune and misfortune are unpredictable. Some things are better done sooner rather than later!" Ye Hong said with a serious tone.
"Yes, Tianchen, it’s time to consider your marital affairs. No matter what choice you make, or who you choose as our daughter-in-law, your mom and I will support you. We just hope you can let us have grandchildren soon!" Luo Yan said teasingly with a smile.
"Well... alright, I’ll think about it!" Ye Tianchen said, a bit taken aback, nodding to avoid arguing with his parents.
The meal was quite joyous, especially with Liu Rumei and Liu Fei, who seemed to blend into Ye Tianchen’s family. As for the unreliable Little Black Bear, it somehow harmoniously fit in, gaining affection from parents and sister, leaving Ye Tianchen with nothing to worry about!
After breakfast, Liu Rumei, Liu Fei, and Ye Qianwen all headed to Sea King Group. This time, Sea King Group’s biggest project was of great importance, and they didn’t dare slack off. Even Ye Hong and Luo Yan went to Sea King Group, leaving only Ye Tianchen and the Little Black Bear in the Ye family’s dining room. Ye Tianchen gave the Little Black Bear a disdainful look. This guy was still devouring chicken legs, and it was already the twentieth one. Even the servants nearby were left dumbfounded.
"Are you done eating yet?" Ye Tianchen asked the Little Black Bear with a look of annoyance.
"Not yet. Two or three more should make me about half full!" Little Black Bear said to Ye Tianchen while chomping down on a chicken leg.
"Is it really okay to eat such greasy stuff first thing in the morning?" Ye Tianchen asked, feeling a bit annoyed.
"You know I’ve never had such good food and treatment before. To be honest, your family treats me well, and I’m really grateful. Once I get stronger, I’ll definitely protect them!" Little Black Bear said in between mouthfuls.
"Cut it out. I’d be grateful if you didn’t cause trouble for my family. But listen up, if you dare scare my family or any ordinary people in the Mortal World, I’ll definitely make you pay!" Ye Tianchen warned Little Black Bear.
"Got it, got it. You remind me of this several times a day. Are you treating me like a kid?" Little Black Bear replied impatiently.
"Take your time eating then, I’m going to call my brother so we can head out!" Ye Tianchen remarked disdainfully at Little Black Bear.
Before Little Black Bear could react, Ye Tianchen had already walked out of the Ye family’s dining room. With a chicken leg still in its paw, Little Black Bear quickly chased after him, calling out Ye Tianchen’s name non-stop. It was clever enough to know that Ye Tianchen and the man carrying a sword were leaving for Mount Everest today to search for the "Hidden World" in the Mortal World. For Little Black Bear, it was a once-in-a-lifetime training opportunity, and it definitely didn’t want to miss it!
Ye Tianchen returned to the villa’s hall to find the sword-bearing man still fast asleep on the sofa. Honestly, Ye Tianchen admired his ability to be so relaxed and carefree.
This time, Ye Tianchen didn’t let the sword-bearing man continue sleeping and woke him up, because he didn’t want any more delays. They were supposed to reach Mount Everest today, and whether they could find the Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm was another matter. After all, for Ye Tianchen, getting the help of the Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm would be ideal. Otherwise, they’d have to use the method suggested by the sword-bearing man, finding one of the strongest people in the Mortal World and, by any means necessary, have them lead them into the Hidden World. But are the strongest in the Mortal World that easy to defeat? Clearly not!
"Wow, up so early, brother!" The sword-bearing man said, yawning and smiling as Ye Tianchen woke him up.
"I have to say, brother, you’ve been living too comfortably in the Mortal World. You even forgot the time; it’s not morning anymore, it’s noon! Let’s hurry up and leave!" Ye Tianchen said, feeling grumpy.
"What? It’s already noon? We’re running behind; let’s go!" The sword-bearing man jumped off the sofa anxiously.
Ye Tianchen shook his head without saying more. Heading to Mount Everest was crucial; missing the Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm would be dangerous.
When Ye Tianchen and the sword-bearing man stepped out of the villa, Little Black Bear was already waiting outside. It hugged Ye Tianchen’s leg tightly and declared, "I have to go with you! Otherwise, I will..."
"Otherwise, what?" Ye Tianchen asked calmly.
"Otherwise, I’ll... I’ll die in front of you!" Little Black Bear bluffed.
Bang!
Without any courtesy, Ye Tianchen kicked Little Black Bear away, too lazy to deal with it. He and the sword-bearing man continued toward the gate of the Ye family’s old residence, with Little Black Bear shouting loudly, "Why won’t you let me go? Didn’t you say I could go if I performed well?"
"The point is you didn’t perform well. No more talk; just stay put and guard the house!" Ye Tianchen said without looking back.
Little Black Bear froze, watching Ye Tianchen and the sword-bearing man walk away, and sighed, clenching its fist, muttering to itself, "It’s okay if you look down on me now. I’ll become strong one day, I believe in myself. I remember what Grandpa told me; I won’t disappoint him, I must become strong!"
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Little Black Bear soared into the air, landing in front of Ye Tianchen and the sword-bearing man. Ye Tianchen looked at it and said, "You’re going to face many hardships and grievances; I hope you can handle them well. Come with us!"
With that, Ye Tianchen grabbed Little Black Bear’s shoulder, and along with the sword-bearing man, they disappeared into a secluded corner of the Ye family’s old residence. They all employed Qi Manipulation Flight, soaring through the skies, heading towards Mount Everest... (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to vote for it at Qidian.com.
