"Ehh?! hepp!"
Zian Ma immediately silenced his wife's mouth. He did not want any more mistakes like that.
"I'm sorry my wife, Mr. Shen Li, she does talk too much hehehe" said Zian Ma, who still silenced his wife and took her to his seat.
The empress who was treated like that actually wanted to get angry, but first she wanted to hear an explanation from her own husband.
"What's wrong with His Majesty the King, I also don't want to be your son-in-law" Shen Li said with a flat face. Nonetheless, it made a slight pain in his chest recalling his family.
Zian Ma took a quick look at Shen Li's face after answering his words earlier, feeling faintly that Shen Li was currently thinking about something.
"Hahaha, okay. Since all the food has been served, we better enjoy it first" Zian Ma said with a smile inviting Shen Li to greet the food, "Haha, let's please enjoy this potluck of Shen Li, sir, we'll talk later."
All of them who were there then rushed to eat the luxurious food enthusiastically. Meanwhile, Shen Li had only taken enough food for him.
Other than not being hungry, his mood had now returned a little cloudy. At the time of eating he did not act or talk much, it astonished the King and Empress. Because the elders and other families look cheerful eating their food while chatting small.
A few moments passed, the banquet was over. Now Bai Zian Ma began to introduce the identity of Shen Li to his family.
"Well, I'll introduce him first. Because it seems that you are already so curious about his identity" said Zian Ma in reply nods them all.
"He is Mr. Shen Li, for more please master Shen Li to introduce himself further, hehehe"
Shen Li was a little annoyed by Zian Ma's mannerisms. He thought he didn't have to bother to talk, but in fact he only mentioned his name.
Shen Li then stood up from his chair and introduced himself.
"Begging His Majesty's permission, the Empress, and the Elders. My name is Shen Li, I come from the Shen Clan on Planet Youmu."
The king and his family were shocked to hear that Shen Li was from Youmu. They certainly know the facts about the destruction of the planet, because they do not suspect there is still someone alive from that planet.
"P-planet Youmu?! Did master Shen Li say that master is from the planet Youmu?" Ling Yue's question represented the entire question of the people there.
"Are my words less clear?" Ask Shen Li.
"Bu-that's not what I meant, I was just wondering isn't the Planet destroyed?" Said Ling Yue.
Shen Li was slightly stunned to hear that as he did not expect the news to quickly spread widely.
"That's true. Because I just got back after a little adventure." The reply.
The family members and elders who were there could only understand Shen Li's words and no longer think of him dizzy. But in contrast to the King, Empress and Ling Yue, the three of them knew that Shen Li was still covering things up, and wondered where his family was at the moment.
They also talked to each other familiarizing themselves with Shen Li. He was faced with many questions, and patiently answered them one by one.
Evening has arrived.
Shen Li was offered to stay in the dragon palace by Zian Ma. He could only agree, because he had not thought about where he would go after this.
The atmosphere in the dragon palace was so soothing, the wind news of the arrogant nature of the Dragon Clan turned out to be just mere wind news. It was true, but it was an exception only for Shen Li. I don't know why it feels like they all respect him so much.
He walked on the terrace of the Dragon Palace inn that night, he enjoyed the sound of the night wind blowing on his face. His face looked so calm when he looked at the night sky.
He then sat on the front porch steps, taking out a cup of coffee he bought from his system store.
He drank coffee for the first time in his life. He began to be quite fond of the distinctive bitter taste that so calms his mind.
"Mother, Father, forgive this child of yours who can't take care of you" Shen Li muttered softly to the point that his tears began to flow.
"Yu'er, I miss you. Maybe it will be so very difficult for me to find your replacement later. And Uncle Ru, I longed for a time when we could joke together" The sound of crickets added to the silence of the night.
Shen Li felt lonely for the second time in his two lives. He would never have expected that the price he had to pay for his destiny was so great and painful. If time could be turned, he would rather live a mediocre life with his family, than have a great destiny but he would have to pay an incalculable price.
Meanwhile, from a distance, a beautiful woman and a middle-aged man were watching the grieving Shen Li. They were none other than the Empress and King Bai Zian Ma, both of whom were clearly looking at the moment when Shen Li was grieving.
"Gege, is there anything we can do to appease master Shen Li?" ask Empress.
"Let's know my wife, we better not interfere in Mr. Shen Li's personal affairs. He is a good man, if only he would be with our children, I would gladly bless them. But it seemed like Master Shen Li had clearly rejected that" Zian Ma's words could be understood so deeply by his wife.
They ultimately decided not to interfere in Shen Li's personal affairs, because after all they had just come into Shen Li's life and it was unethical to directly sneak in.
Shen Li stayed up that night. I don't know how many hundred cups of coffee he had spent that night. In the morning, he decided for a moment to visit his brothers who were in his world of souls.
Soul World
"Teacher!"
When Shen Li came to his soul world, he saw that his teacher, Zhang Li Quan, was training the cultivation of his brothers. His teachers were very familiar and knew of their qualities. Because he easily recognizes a person's true nature only from their behavior and speech from a single look.
"Shen Li, what's going on here? is the business outside done?" Zhang Li Quan asked.
"Not yet teacher, that's why I came here. I want to take them out and convince the Dragon Clan to join us. I don't know what their decision will be I accept with all my heart" Shen Li said.
"Hahaha, alright. You can think a little more mature. Teacher also did not blame your decision, it was right in my opinion" Zhang Li Quan replied.
"Thank you teacher" Shen Li then rushed over to the cultivation altar where his brothers practiced.
Seeming in just a few days in the soul world, their cultivation was already there who wanted to break through to the next level. The results are quite satisfying considering that in the normal world it takes a very long time.
"Young Master" Sigurd Vardr was first aware of Shen Li's arrival, which was then followed by a greeting from all of them.
"You guys are really great, I'm sure you won't disappoint me later" Shen Li said.
"Young Master overestimated us. If only we had not been helped by the young master, of course we would not have achieved this result" Shin said.
"That's right young master, hehehe. We were also trained master teachers, so we were more efficient at cultivating without wasting any of the energy that was present." Fang Di charged at Shin's words with a puffed up chest.
Everyone who was there laughed happily, even Shen Li also let out a small laugh feeling the warmth between his new family.
"If it's true, it'll be great." Shen Li. "I came here to tell you, now that I'm in the Dragon Clan. I just wanted to ask you guys for help to come with me later, but before that..." Shen Li's words he stopped, then stuck out his index finger firing an energy that contained a style to transform to be like a human being in general.
They all then took up a cross-legged position again a moment after receiving Shen Li's gift.
"You understand first, I'll get out. Later when it's time I'll call you guys"
