Chapter 3247: In A Hundred Years, Even A Beauty Gets Old
Huang Datou returned to Huang Xiaolongâs side with spring in his steps amidst Chu Zhangmingâs and the othersâ screams.
âUncle, I defeated them!â Huang Datou exclaimed excitedly. He had never thought that one day he would be able to turn the tables and smack Chu Zhangming and his group instead!
Huang Xiaolong smiled. âIf defeating a few Ninth Level Qi Refining Realms makes you so happy, then wouldnât you be flying to the moon when you defeat an Enlightenment Realm?â
Huang Datou was stupefied. Then, he waved his hands and head in a frightened expression. âUncle, donât joke.â
Not to mention Enlightenment Realm experts, even a Nascent Soul Realm expert was a top existence in his eyes. Just a fart from a Nascent Soul Realm expert could blast him to death.
Huang Xiaolong smiled in silence.
After the improvements he had made in Huang Datouâs physical body, it was only a matter of time when Huang Datou would defeat an Enlightenment expert, and even defeating Tribulation Realm experts was something granted.
Wang Meilan was over the moon that her grandson won the battle, but she was worried at the same time. Thus, she said, âXiaolong, Chu Zhangmingâs grandfather is a grand elder of Chu Family. After having their legs broken, Iâm afraid the Chu Family wonât let this matter rest without doing anything.â
Huang Xiaolong smiled faintly upon hearing that. âMother, donât worry, nothing will happen with me around. Not to mention just a Chu Familyâs grand elder, but even if the entire Chu Family comes, they wouldnât have the guts to touch a hair on any of you. They donât have that ability!â
This was Huang Xiaolongâs guarantee.
He would never allow others to bully his parents and his family on Earth!
Chu Zhangming suddenly laughed with a distorted expression. âPunk, Iâll let you be arrogant for now, but wait till my father and the others arrive. Youâll shit yourself!â
âIs that so?â Huang Xiaolong responded tepidly, âIâll be waiting then!â
Before turning away, Huang Xiaolongâs finger flicked, and a pile of spiritual hog beastâs filth flew up from the ground, and splattered across Chu Zhangming and the other three disciplesâ faces, eyes, mouths, and nostrils, making Chu Zhangming and the others feel as if they had gone to hell and back.
On the second floor, Huang Xiaolong, Wang Meilan, and Huang Datou managed to get a satisfactory whole wild boar, and other ingredients, and then returned to the house.
The wild boar they bought was cheap because it was not a spiritual beast. Wang Meilan even got back tens of gold coins in return after paying with one low-grade spirit stone.
Though spirit stones had become the common currency on Earth, in ordinary wet markets and markets, copper, silver, and gold coins were also commonly used, and each denominatorâs exchange rate was one to a hundred. One silver coin was equivalent to one hundred copper coins, one gold coin was equivalent to a hundred silver coins, and one piece of low-grade spirit stone was equivalent to one hundred gold coins.
Therefore, Wang Meilan merely spent less than a hundred gold coins overall.
On the way back to the house, Wang Meilan looked at Huang Xiaolong from time to time as if she had something to say.
âMom, what is it? Just say it,â seeing this, Huang Xiaolong asked frankly.
âXiaolong, do you still remember Zhang Yuhan?â Wang Meilan asked reluctantly.
The name seemed to stroke Huang Xiaolongâs heartstrings.
That girl, how could he forget her?
They were so in love. Her every smile and laugh seemed to flash before his eyes.
âHow is she now?â Huang Xiaolong pretended nonchalance as he asked.
âSheâs teaching at the Eastern University now,â Wang Meilan answered, and suddenly added another sentence, âSheâs still single!â
What?! Huang Xiaolong was taken aback.
âShe, she didnât marry? For so many years, she has beenâŠ?â Huang Xiaolongâs mind was buzzing.
Wang Meilan nodded, âShe has not married. After you went missing suddenly, many young masters from prominent families were interested in her, and her family also arranged a marriage for her, but she threatened them with her life! In the end, her family ran out of ideas, and as her age increased, they let her be. Later on, after advancing to Golden Core Realm, she joined the Eastern Universityâs teaching staff!â
âBut from the last Iâve heard of her, she has already stepped into Nascent Soul Realm, and was promoted to the Eastern Universityâs dean!â Wang Meilan sighed with melancholy. âYou should go see her. Honestly, she has been waiting for you all this time. Others might not know the reason, but itâs clear to me and your father.â
Huang Xiaolong nodded in silence, feeling complicated emotions.
He had really not expected Zhang Yuhan to have not marry anyone. Had Zhang Yuhan married in her prime, she probably would have had a great-granddaughter by now.
Even a beauty will grow old in a hundred years.
Huang Datouâs eyes widened in shock as he listened in to his grandmother and eldest uncleâs conversation. My uncle and the Eastern Universityâs Dean Zhang Yuhan were actuallyâŠ?
âUncle, you and Lady Zhang YuhanâŠ?â Huang Datou couldnât believe what he had just heard.
Seeing Huang Datouâs reaction, Huang Xiaolong asked in a playful tone, âZhang Yuhan is very famous, is she?â
Huang Datou nodded his head heavily, looking extremely serious as he said, âVery famous! Lady Zhang Yuhan is a grade-nine spiritual vein, and she has comprehended the Eastern Universityâs Emperor Qing Secret Scripture that no has been able to decode. More importantly, she once defeated two same level Nascent Soul Realm beasts at the same time!â
Huang Datou went on to list all of Zhang Yuhanâs feats.
The Eastern University was the top education institution within the Huaxia Alliance, and as the Eastern Universityâs dean, Lady Zhang Yuhan was famous throughout Huaxia given her strength and talent.
After listening to his nephewâs âunbiasedâ account of Zhang Yuhanâs feats, Huang Xiaolong looked at Wang Meilan. âMom, did Zhang Yunhan come to visit you in these years?â
With Zhang Yuhanâs status and identity, if she had been willing to extend a helping hand, his parentsâ and familyâs lives wouldnât have fallen to that degree.
Wang Meilan understood what her son was thinking, thus explained, âThe first few decades after your disappearance, Zhang Yuhan came to visit us often. Later on, after she advanced to Nascent Soul Realm, and got promoted to become the Eastern University Dean, she has been very busy, and she stopped coming. Moreover, every time she visits us, she would inevitably be reminded of you, making her sad and cry. We were worried her emotions would affect her, and told her to stop coming!â
Huang Xiaolong succumbed to silence once more.
âXiaolong, you canât put the blame on Yuhan for this matter!â Wang Meilan persuaded.
Huang Xiaolong nodded, and sighed inwardly. Honestly, did he have any qualifications to blame Zhang Yuhan? He had been missing for a hundred years, and she has been single the entire time. He was the one who had turned his back on her.
He had married in another world and had more than one wife.
Back at the house, Huang Xiaolong saw the two black eyes on his younger brother Huang Chenfeiâs face. He looked stunned while Huang Chengfei explained with a bitter expression, âFather was itching to spar and wouldnât let me go. Moreover, the old manâs quite persistent in using the Dragon Digging Pearl move, and he stubbornly aimed for my eyes!â
Both Huang Xiaolong and Huang Datou broke into laughter.
Wang Meilan laughed as she shot a glare at Huang Jiyuan. âVery good, youâre so capable now. In that case, you go and spar with Xiaolong. Let us watch you both.â
Huang Jiyuan nearly jumped back in fright by his dear wifeâs words, and was quick to make an excuse, âXiaolong has just returned, so he must be tired. So itâs better we donât. What if it affects our father and sonâs relationship!â
Huang Chenfei complained audibly under his berath, âYouâre not afraid it would affect our father and sonâs relationship?â
Huang Jiyuan gave Huang Chenfei a sharp glare, drawing laughter from the others.
That night, the family erected a bonfire in the yard, and roasted a whole wild boar. Huang Xiaolong personally took over the job of roasting the wild boar. The others sat in a circle, talking and laughing. It was a cozy family gathering.
