That day, at nightfall.
Li Boyang had long been absent from the Li Family Village, and naturally, his return brought much celebration from everyone.
Even the usually stern-faced Li Yu couldn't help but show a rare smile.
As for Chen Yun, it goes without saying.
Her smile was so broad it nearly reached the back of her head.
Especially upon learning that Li Boyang would once again reside permanently in the Li Family Village after this descent from the mountain, Chen Yun was so overwheld with emotion that she burst into tears.
After all, although Li Boyang never said anything, how could his strange behaviors escape the notice of his parents, Li Yu and Chen Yun?
In fact, the fact that Li Yu and Chen Yun tacitly allowed Li Boyang to stay at Feilai Peak for years shows their inner worries.
Otherwise, no parents would let their child stay in an unfamiliar place for five to six years.
Let alone the lingering effects of "Wu Yi Shoots the Sky" that continued to fernt.
Living in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, how could Li Yu and Chen Yun not be aware of these matters?
In the past six months, Chen Yun had wanted to go to Yunng Marsh nurous tis to bring her son back from Xiluo.
But her more rational and steady husband, Li Yu, always managed to dissuade her.
Even when Li Boyang occasionally returned to the Li Family Village, Chen Yun restrained herself from showing her longing for him.
"I'm sorry for making you worry, Mother."
Ignoring the lively celebrations in the village and not participating in the villagers' festivity.
Li Boyang simply leaned lightly against Chen Yun, as if returning to his childhood.
At this mont, Li Boyang was no longer the Red-haired Ghost God, the Son of the Mountain God, the Descent Celestial Being, or the Mountain Prophet.
Now, Li Boyang was simply Chen Yun's son, just a wanderer who had not returned ho for a long ti.
"As long as you're okay, nothing is more important."
She reached out, attempting to embrace Li Boyang, only to suddenly realize that he had grown taller than her at so point.
"You've grown so fast!"
Reluctantly giving up trying to embrace him like she did when he was a child, Chen Yun leaned on Li Boyang's shoulder and spoke softly.
"In my mind, it seems like you were still the little child I carried in my basket."
"In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed."
Chen Yun continued to chatter endlessly, her voice never stopping.
"Have you been okay on the mountain these years? Did Mountain Granny take good care of you?"
"And about Big Girl, every ti I sent her up the mountain, I made sure she brought your favorite cured at. Did she ever sneak any on the way?"
"Looking at you, so robust, you're not much different from how your father was in those days."
"I heard Yunng Marsh is full of Ghost Gods; did they scare you?"
"I know you have skills and abilities..."
"But there are things you shouldn't get involved in; let soone else handle the bigger problems!"
Li Boyang slowly turned his head, only to realize that wrinkles had started appearing at the corners of her eyes.
By this era's standards, being thirty-four would an stepping into old age.
"Mother, maybe you shouldn't go to the textile factory anymore!"
"Whether it's Big Girl or Qiwa, they can handle those things."
Hearing Li Boyang's words, Chen Yun blinked but still stubbornly responded.
"No, that's not possible. Those spiders are your hard work; how could I rest easy letting soone else manage them?"
"And though your mother might not have your skills, those spiders only recognize ."
"If I miss feeding them for a day, they'd rebel, don't you think?"
Li Boyang opened his mouth, hesitating to say that those spiders weren't worth that much.
But after glancing at the Protective Talismans on his body, he knew that reasoning with a mother about matters like these was pointless.
Chen Yun just wanted to do things within her ability that she felt could help her son.
"Mother, have you been practicing the Breathing Technique I taught you?"
During the great flood four or five years ago, Li Boyang had already spread the "Breathing Technique."
By now, not just in the Li Family Village.
The technique has been practiced by substantial numbers of mountain people and even Spirit Monsters throughout the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
However, lacking Li Boyang's tailored guidance, the Spirit Monsters' progress with the Breathing Technique was generally slow.
As for Li Family Village?
They not only have the complete version of the Breathing Technique, but also the supervision and correction from Li Jingshu and Qiwa.
Along with the various pills frequently provided by Li Boyang, their progress ranks in the top tier throughout the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
This was evident from the increasingly robust bodies and agile movents of the new generation.
However, there are always exceptions.
Especially among the elderly in the Li Family Village.
Back then, even implenting the Hygiene Regulations was challenging.
Not to ntion trying to change the daily routine and breathing habits of these seniors.
Li Boyang never imagined that his mother would beco one of those seniors.
"I've been quite busy over the past half year..."
Facing Li Boyang's inquiry, Chen Yun answered with so hesitation in her eyes.
The past six months had been spent worrying about Li Boyang, leaving little room for daily Breathing Technique practice.
"And the pills I gave you?"
Feeling helpless, yet slightly amused, Li Boyang continued asking.
"Well, considering I'm getting older..."
"And my progress with the Breathing Technique is slow, keeping those pills seems like a waste."
"So I had Auntie Three mix the pills into the children's als, thinking they'd benefit more than . Don't you agree?"
Growing increasingly justified, Chen Yun directly looked into Li Boyang's eyes and questioned.
"Mother! Those pills aren't really rare commodities..."
"If you need more, just tell ; you don't need to be so thrifty!"
Within the family hierarchy, Li Boyang was undoubtedly the lowest, so he could only emphasize helplessly in the end.
"You said they were a gift to , so I can use them however I want..."
"Anyway, you're never ho, so why care?"
Resigned to dealing with such illogical yet confident behavior, Li Boyang could only surrender, raising both hands in defeat.
"Listen to you. I'm ho now, aren't I?"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry; it's not worth it for your health."
"They're just so pills; I'll have Big Girl bring more tomorrow. But rember to take more for yourself this ti."
"Those pills don't just enhance the Breathing Technique benefits; they can also beautify and reduce your wrinkles..."
"Look at the wrinkles at the corners of your eyes; seeing them breaks my heart!"
