Chapter 802 - Daddy, I’ve Missed You!
Chapter 802: Daddy, I’ve Missed You!
As the Xiao clan’s patriarch’s finger was forcefully broken by the figure that suddenly appeared in the sky, the world fell silent.
At that moment, Yang Tian, Xiao Ya, Hu Meiling and the rest froze.
“Old Ye!”
“Master!”
“Daddy…”
Everyone’s eyes trembled as they looked at the familiar figure in the sky. Unconcealable excitement and disbelief were revealed in their eyes.
The figure in the sky finally let out a cry of surprise and slowly turned around, revealing a familiar face that countless people thought about day and night.
Ye Chen landed on the ground.
“Daddy…”
Mengmeng struggled to get out of Yang Tian’s embrace. Subsequently, she leaped into Ye Chen’s embrace and hugged his neck tightly.
She, who had always been strong, finally burst into tears, “Daddy, I’ve missed you. I’ve missed you so much…”
In the vast expanse of the heavens and the earth, only Mengmeng little darling’s weeping and wailing could be heard.
The people around them silently watched the father and daughter reunite. Xiao Ya, Li Ying, and the other ladies’ eyes turned red. They turned their faces away and secretly wiped their tears.
They had waited for so long!
Really, it had been so long!
Even Yang Tian could not help but shed tears.
No one could describe how he felt at that moment. When the news of Ye Chen’s death reached him, it could be said that he was the most upset. After the Ye family was destroyed, he was the one who suffered the most.
He hated Lin Tai, but he was also envious of Lin Tai. He was envious that Lin Tai could at least be of use to him. He was fighting with his life on the line with the people from Shang Santian. He was envious that Lin Tai would die and not care about his future.
Ye Chen’s eyes turned red when he sensed the bloodline fluctuation coming from his daughter. The longing buried deep in his heart finally surged out at that moment.
“Daddy…”
The little girl hugged Ye Chen’s neck tightly as tears streamed down her face. She used a lot of strength as if she was afraid that Ye Chen would leave her in the blink of an eye.
“Daddy is back. No one will bully Mengmeng anymore!”
Ye Chen felt suffocated in his chest as he comforted his daughter softly. He reached out and gently wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes. However, his heart ached as he looked at his daughter’s helpless and terrified gaze.
She had lost weight!
This girl had lost weight!
He still remembered that before he left, although the little girl was not considered fat, she had a chubby face, but what he touched now were her cheekbones.
Ye Chen took a deep breath in and calmed himself down. He then lifted his head to look at the Patriarch of Hell who was next to him. He shook his head lightly and said, “Patriarch, get back. Leave this place to me.”
He could tell at a glance that the patriarch had forcefully broken through to Foundation Establishment, and his soul had left his body.
He had probably used up quite a lot of his soul power in the previous battle. If this went on, it was extremely likely for his cultivation level to drop.
“Fellow Ye, I’ve let you down…”
A hint of guilt flashed across the Patriarch of Hell’s face. Before Ye Chen left, he promised to protect the Ye family. However, he sealed his six senses at the critical moment of his closed door cultivation, so he did not know about the Ye family’s destruction in time.
Ye Chen shook his head, “I know!”
The Patriarch of Hell sighed softly and dispersed in the surroundings. Clearly, he had returned to his closed-door cultivation to recuperate. He was not worried about whether Ye Chen was a match for the Xiao clan’s patriarch.
Ye Chen then looked at Yang Tian, who was beside him. Then, he gently put down the cute baby in his arms and walked over to give him a big hug, “It’s been hard on you these days!”
“It’s good that you’re not dead!”
Yang Tian’s lips trembled slightly. There were too many things he wanted to say to Ye Chen. However, thousands of words eventually turned into one sentence, “It’s good that you’re not dead!”
Xiao Ya walked over and bowed solemnly, “Master!”
“Master Ye!” Li Ying cupped his fists.
At that moment, a beautiful figure pounced into Ye Chen’s embrace and cried out in a heart-wrenching manner, “Brother, my father is dead. My mother is dead too…”
It was Ye Wen!
Over the past few days, she was on the verge of breaking down because of her parents’ death. However, she could no longer suppress the grievances and sadness in her heart after seeing Ye Chen.
“I know, I know!”
Ye Chen patted her back lightly and looked at the Black Bear King and the other two immortals who were standing aside. In the end, his gaze landed on Hu Meiling as he said gratefully, “Everyone, I’ll remember your kindness to my Ye family!”
“You’re too kind, Immortal Master Ye. I’m just doing my best!” Hu Meiling bowed lightly. However, a gleam flashed in the depths of her eyes that were looking at Ye Chen.
Now that she thought about it, she had only met Ye Chen three times. The first time, she thought that Ye Chen was the most powerful, but he was not enough to threaten her. The second time, he was on par with her. Now, she could not see through him the third time they met.
“May I know who you are? I’m the patriarch of the Xiao clan from Shang Santian. I hope that you will not interfere, lest you attract unnecessary trouble!”
In the sky above the crowd, the Xiao clan’s patriarch’s gaze was fixed on Ye Chen. His threatening voice that seemed to be filled with displeasure resounded in this area. If one listened carefully, they would sense fear in it.
Ye Chen broke his attack when he suddenly appeared earlier. It made him realize that Ye Chen was probably at the Emperor Stage, so he did not attack rashly.
Ye Chen lifted his head slowly. His eyes were looking straight into the sky. Extreme coldness emerged from the depths of his eyes, “What an annoying old dog. Since you dare to touch my family, you don’t even know me?”
The Xiao clan’s patriarch was stunned, “Touch your family?”
“Patriarch, h-he’s Mad Southern Ye!
“H-He’s not dead!”
At that moment, a cry of disbelief was heard. Xiao Kun was looking at Ye Chen in shock.
He was not very sure when Ye Chen first appeared. However, he recognized him completely after hearing Yang Tian and the rest calling him that.
Following his words, the Xiao clan’s patriarch in the sky was shocked too. Deep shock emerged in his eyes, “Y-You’re Mad Southern Ye? You’re not dead?!”
He knew how dangerous the ghost ship was. After so many years, everyone who stepped onto the ghost ship, except Shi Qianhan, Luo Tianya, and the rest, had all died.
However, Ye Chen had miraculously appeared after disappearing for so long. How could he not be shocked?
Ye Chen looked at him coldly and said while sneering, “I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you guys. Now that I’m back, I won’t rest until I’ve destroyed your Xiao clan!”
“Destroy my Xiao clan?”
The Xiao clan’s patriarch let out a long laugh, his laughter shaking the sky, “What a boastful brat. If you went on hiding like a mouse, I wouldn’t be able to do anything to you. Now that you’re back, it’s perfect. I’ll send all of you to hell…”
