Everyone Was Back

Li Yao rubbed his head and took a while to calm himself down.

Ying Que?

I'll remember you!

Don't let me see you again, or I'll confront you every time I see you! Li Yao casually tossed the golden mask into his Space Ring and stored it away. He definitely couldn't take the golden mask out now, otherwise, how would he explain it to the Wallfacers? That it was money Ying Que gave him for cigarettes? That he and that Ying Que only met once? That he and that guy were truly innocent... Who would believe that? Li Yao believed it, but it was all useless.

Li Yao thought that once he got back, he would disassemble the Golden Mask to see what was inside and what the subspace civilization at Sanxingdui was all about.

Pack these things up.

Li Yao went out somewhat furtively, but only realized something was wrong when he got to the door.

What the Laozi am I doing, acting so suspiciously? He straightened his back, crossed his arms, and swayed from side to side. Just then, Chen Xi and the others, who were carrying suitcases, saw him. "Mr. Han, is your back uncomfortable?"

Li Yao: "..."

He pursed his lips and laughed, "Ah, yes, my back has been hurting a bit lately."

Chen Xi: "Then you should be careful. You can go to the hospital for physiotherapy or something. I heard it's quite effective."

Li Yao changed the subject. "Are you all carrying so many bags and packages, getting ready to go back?"

Chen Xi helped Lin Xiaoxi and Han Xiaosang bring their things out and replied, "Yeah, we've been out for many days, it's time to go back."

Li Yao: "Then I'll see you off."

He walked over and casually helped Chen Xi drag her suitcase away. Lin Xiaoxi, very wary, sidled up to Chen Xi and said, "Anyone who's being overly attentive for no reason is either a scumbag or a womanizer! Chen Xi, stay away from him!"

Li Yao: "!?"

Chen Xi quickly smoothed things over, saying, "It's alright, it's alright, we'll be late if we stay any later."

Li Yao walked out of the alley, hailed a taxi on the street, and headed straight for the airport.

Once in the car,

Li Yao was kicked to the passenger seat by Lin Xiaoxi, and the three of them squeezed into the back. Luckily, Han Xiaosang was small enough to fit in.

The driver chatted nonsensically the whole time, claiming to know everything under the sun! Through the car window,

Seeing the frost on the car window, Li Yao Li Yao and asked, "It's so cold in the capital, how did you manage to stay warm?"

The driver said, "What are you carrying? It's so cold we can't stand it either! How cold is it in the capital? Just yesterday I witnessed a rear-end collision, and the two drivers got out of their cars, added each other on WeChat, got back in their cars, and started arguing with each other on voice calls!"

Everyone: "..."

It is indeed cold.

Didn't you notice that the three or four people in the car were all bundled up like bears, making the originally spacious back seat feel quite cramped?

Li Yao suddenly turned around. "Xiaoxi, look how fat you've gotten!"

Lin Xiaoxi retorted casually, "Go home and get fat (o`дo)!"

Li Yao: "..."

That's not a good reaction, is it? Never mind.

At this point, he stopped picking fights with Lin Xiaoxi.

After seeing Chen Xi and the others off at the airport, Li Yao changed his appearance in the airport restroom and then bought a ticket for the next available flight back home.

Anyway, his personal belongings are mostly in his Space Ring, and Sauron is always with him. As for the weapons he brought—they have been handed over to the Wallfacer Organization as trial weapons, and Wei Dadong and the others are undergoing Wallfacers review and training.

It didn't take long to get from the Capital Airport back to Lukou Airport in the provincial capital.

As soon as Li Yao got off the plane, he felt the difference between the South and the North.

Both are cold.

The cold in the provincial capital is much milder!

Unlike that corner of the capital, where the cold wind cuts like knives into your face! Li Yao first returned to the Provincial Military Region General Hospital. His Constructed Magic Puppet still lying on the hospital bed, pale-faced and staring blankly out the window as if searching for the last leaf on the vine... Hmm, it seems the construct's intelligence needs improvement.

The Tier 7 spells of the Transmutation school do include the spell "Spirit Awakening".

You can use spells to awaken the Construct Golem's sentience and give it intelligence.

But he can't use it!

Li Yao took out the images from the core magic crystal of the Constructed Magic Puppet and carefully reviewed them. Then he put the magic puppet away, restored its appearance to its original state, and made its complexion look a little better.

After checking around and finding no flaws, Li Yao lay back down on the hospital bed. He stared at the pale ceiling and breathed a sigh of relief.

Ha, you're finally back.

Overall, this trip was worthwhile!

The Esper World Forum brought him 350 million! Adding the original principal and the money settled by Guo Dazhaozi, it rounds up to 400 million!

It was worth it!

Li Yao grinned from ear to ear at the thought of how bulging his wallet was now.

Outside the ward, Lin Xiaoxi had appeared out of nowhere, grabbed Chen Xi: "Sister Chen Xi! See? I told you Li Da Yao was crazy! From now on, the tavern is ours!"

Chen Xi gave Lin Xiaoxi a flick on the forehead. "What are you saying?"

She pushed open the door and said happily, "Boss, we're back!"

Li Yao pretended to ask, "Yeah, did you have fun?"

Chen Xi: "It's alright, boss, you look much better too."

Li Yao: "You should be able to be discharged in two more days. Xiaoxi, were you a good girl on this trip?"

Lin Xiaoxi said in a brash tone, "What can you do to me if I'm naughty?"

Li Yao: "Chen Xi, help me up!"

"I'll open your brain for you!" Chen Xi looked on with a smile. Sure enough, this was the place where she felt most comfortable.

Sudden,

Chen Xi thought of something and said, "Oh right, boss, we also ran into your Senior Brother on this trip. His name is Han Guang."

Lin Xiaoxi chimed in, "Right, right, how come I didn't know you had a Senior Brother?"

Li Yao smiled but remained silent.

You have no idea that your sister is in another world and talks nonsense to me all day long, right?

Li Yao casually made up a couple of things and brushed it off, while Chen Xi and Lin Xiaoxi were busy going back to the tavern to sort out the things that had piled up recently.

Not long after they left, Big Sis Feng Li arrived with Xiao Zhao.

Xiao Zhao started looking around aimlessly, wondering if the cat had returned... Li Yao laughed when he saw this, "Sauron, someone's looking for you, come out quickly!"

Sauron: "..."

Damn it, you think I'll just come out because you tell me to? Don't I have any dignity?!

That Xiao Zhao is really something! I know you miss me terribly, but can't you control yourself a little?!

"Hmph! If I'm not going out, I'm not going out!" Li Yao chuckled. This stubborn arrogance of Sauron was beyond saving.

Big Sis Feng Li, sat on the edge of the bed and propped her long, 1.8-meter-tall legs up on the side of the bed. "Hello, little brother?"

Li Yao smiled and said, "Yes, I'm back."

Big Sis Feng Li, said smugly, "I heard about what happened in the capital. You're quite capable. You finally did something good. I have no way to repay you, so how about you play with these long legs of mine?"

She wore tight, silky black thermal stockings, and her shapely, straight thighs were simply breathtaking, making one's heart flutter.

Li Yao pursed his lips. What was going on? The night shift ward?

Could you please ask Xiao Zhao to go out for a bit?

First update! Second update coming soon, hope you enjoy reading!
