In the boundless black starry sky.
Solitude lay lazily atop a cloud that seed both translucent and opaque, occasionally chatting with Dragon King Yao Yun.
In fact, he was right on Dragon King Yao Yun.
The cloud below him, strange and swirling, was the essence of Dragon King Yao Yun.
Though Solitude appeared relaxed on the surface, his heart was in turmoil, because he was about to return ho to face his son and daughter-in-law.
…
Dragon King Yao Yun traveled through the cosmic starry sky with great speed, which was the main reason Solitude chose it as his steed.
It took rely a cup of tea's ti, and it carried Solitude to Ji Family Village.
"Uh… Senior, is this the legendary Ji Family Village?"
Dragon King Yao Yun looked at the colorful nebula ahead, montarily speechless.
The so-called Ji Family Village turned out to be nine planets!
And they were even strung together in a circle!
Because Solitude loved antiques and hand beads, when he founded "Ji Family Village" long ago, he gathered nine planets and arranged them in the shape of a hand bead string.
This village was comprised of nine units, each planet forming one unit.
And Solitude's family lived on an island within unit nine of Ji Family Village.
Solitude slowly raised himself on Dragon King Yao Yun's back, gazing at the "beads" in the distance, various mories flooding his mind like the tide.
Suddenly, the space not far ahead began to warp intensely!
A man and a woman erged slowly from the warped space.
The man appeared middle-aged, dressed in white, tall and burly, with a rugged, handso face and bright, piercing eyes, sporting a wild beard.
In contrast, the fair-skinned and beautiful woman in the white dress seed rather petite, only reaching the man's shoulder height.
"Could this lump be… the fabled Dragon King Yao Yun?"
"Dragon King, why have you co to my Ji Family Village? If you don't want to die, then beg…"
The man in white paused suddenly, shocked.
Because he saw Solitude on Dragon King Yao Yun!
The woman in the white dress also saw Solitude, covering her mouth with her hand, her eyes gradually moistening.
"Father?!"
"Father, you've finally co back!"
"Where have you been all these years?"
The man in white had tears in his fierce eyes, hurriedly flying over, standing before Solitude.
Seeing Solitude's frail and aged body, the man in white felt as if his heart was being stabbed.
Solitude lowered his head, sighed softly.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault."
The woman in the white dress suddenly flew over, tightly grasping Solitude's hand, crying, "We've never blad you!"
Solitude said, "But I lost your child, and I feel very guilty."
He raised his head, looking at his son and daughter-in-law before him, tears streaming.
"Ji Jian Her, Xiaoer… all these years, I made you both worry."
"…"
The man in white, nad "Ji Jian Her," is Solitude's son.
The woman in the white dress, nad "Bu Jue Xiao," is Solitude's daughter-in-law, Ji Jian Her's wife.
At the sa ti, Bu Jue Xiao is also Solitude's disciple, Ji Jian Her's junior sister.
The relationship is not complicated, just Solitude's female disciple married Solitude's son, thus becoming Solitude's daughter-in-law, strengthening family ties.
Junior brother becos husband, master becos father-in-law.
Solitude suddenly laughed, saying, "But none of that matters now, because I've already got news about the Stars."
Upon hearing this, Ji Jian Her and Bu Jue Xiao were both taken aback.
"Is that true?!"
Solitude chuckled, "Let's talk when we get ho."
"…"
Ji Family Village, unit nine.
On a vast island.
Inside a delicate and cozy wooden house.
Bu Jue Xiao helped Solitude to sit on a chair that had been empty for years but was wiped spotlessly clean, saying, "Master, I'll make you so snacks to go with the drink. What would you like?"
"Anything will do, as long as there's wine."
"Well… seems we're out of food at ho, I'll go catch a dragon whale from the sea, since it's from our own fishpond, clean and safe to eat."
"Nonsense!"
Ji Jian Her, sitting on the other side, suddenly slapped the table, raising his eyes in anger at Bu Jue Xiao, said sternly, "Bu Jue Xiao, you're simply being ridiculous!"
"You can't do such crude work as cooking!"
"Your hands are so tender, how can they touch those dirty things in the kitchen? What if you ruin your newly manicured nails?"
"If you get smoked by the kitchen fus, wouldn't that pain to death?"
Bu Jue Xiao looked aggrieved, "Senior brother…"
Ji Jian Her snorted coldly, abruptly standing up, telling her in an irresistible tone, "Just sit here, you're not allowed to go anywhere!"
"If you dare step into the kitchen tonight, I'll punish you by soaking your feet in hot water, I'll crush your feet!"
Bu Jue Xiao looked more aggrieved, with a pleading look at Solitude, tugging at Solitude's clothes.
But Solitude pretended to be deaf and mute.
Ji Jian Her glared viciously at Bu Jue Xiao, gritting his teeth, "By the way, yesterday you secretly cleaned the room behind my back, even polished the floor so brightly, don't think I didn't notice, I haven't settled this with you yet!"
"A re woman, doing all these chores, who gave you the guts!"
Bu Jue Xiao sighed, "I'm sorry, senior brother."
Ji Jian Her said, "Alright, I forgive you. I'll catch the dragon whale, make the dishes!"
"Did you hear?"
Bu Jue Xiao was startled, dazedly nodded.
"Answer !"
"Oh… I know, senior brother, don't be mad."
"Louder!"
"Got it!"
"Humph!"
Ji Jian Her snorted, forcefully pressing Bu Jue Xiao back to sit.
"A woman that I can't control, acting like she wants to rebel."
Then he looked at Solitude, asking arrogantly, "Father, see my status in the family? I've got Xiaoer under control, she never dares go against my wishes."
Solitude gazed at his son with a gratified expression, saying, "No wonder you're my son, just like !"
A while later.
Seeing Ji Jian Her leave, Bu Jue Xiao looked aggrievedly at Solitude, "Master, see, senior brother always scolds , yells at , you don't ever speak for ."
Solitude rolled his eyes, "Don't drag an old guy like into your young couple's affairs."
"Master!"
Bu Jue Xiao stomped her foot.
Solitude gazed at her dotingly, saying, "Truthfully, you should just enjoy your happiness, right? My son Solitude is absolutely the best of n, and only such a good man deserves my good disciple!"
"No way, he's so annoying every day."
Solitude laughed heartily, ignoring her, starting to fiddle with the antique pieces on the table.
After many millennia without playing, his hands were itching.
Bu Jue Xiao poured him a cup of Cinnabar Holy Tea, saying, "By the way, Master, you ntioned so news about the Stars earlier, is it true?"
Solitude nodded, "Let's talk about it when Ji Jian Her cos back."
"Alright. I'll start preparing the dishes and chopsticks."
"Better not… or you'll get scolded when he's back. You're my son on one side, my disciple on the other, I can't really help either."
"…"
