A year flew by in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Ling had lived a happy life that year.
Bulma and Lazi Li got along very well.
It was just that when they got intimate, they only liked being alone with Jiang Ling, one-on-one.
Jiang Ling didn't mind. After all, he wasn't into threesomes.
Over the course of that year,
Goku's family welcomed two new members...
The first was a girl Chi-Chi gave birth to, Sun Xinrou.
The second was a girl Future Chi-Chi gave birth to, named Sun Yutuan.
They brought even more joy to the Sun family.
When Jiang Ling heard the news, he sighed. Goku really knew how to have fun. He hadn't even spared Future Chi-Chi. What a winner in life.
(Goku: Is it possible that Chi-Chi and Future Chi-Chi teamed up to pressure me? I couldn't fight back...)
Everyone else was doing pretty well too, and life went on in an orderly fashion.
He'd also heard from Piccolo that Vegeta had been severely injured by him.
Vegeta probably hadn't died, because Piccolo had gone to check afterward and found no trace of his body or any wild animals nearby.
So Vegeta had been missing for a whole year.
Jiang Ling did miss him a little. After all, Bulma was his now, so it didn't matter whether Vegito came back.
Today, the Dragon Balls could grant wishes again, and Jiang Ling had carefully calculated the timing.
Goku had a wish he wanted to make, too.
At Jiang Ling's villa,
Goku stood with a Chi-Chi holding each of his hands.
Both Chi-Chis cradled an adorable baby in their arms.
The family was together, chatting and laughing, enjoying the happy moment.
Well, Gohan was following along behind them.
Bulma stood to Jiang Ling's left, and Lazi Li to his right...
The two men exchanged a smile.
"Let's summon Shenron?"
"Okay."
Looking at the seven Dragon Balls on the ground, now shining once more, Jiang Ling swept his hand through the air.
"I choose you, Shenron!!!"
Rumble...
The sky darkened.
A golden light emerged from the Dragon Balls, transforming into a colossal dragon that towered between heaven and earth.
The villa stood on an island, but there was a city on the mainland not far away.
People looked at the darkened sky, then at the giant dragon that had appeared between heaven and earth, and fell into deep thought.
Then they all dropped to their knees.
"A god has appeared!!!"
"I pray that I'll find a girlfriend..."
"I pray that I'll become rich..."
"Oh, god, I'm 28 years old and I've never even touched a girl's hand. Could you give me a future wife..."
Of course, Shenron didn't hear any of that.
"Warriors who have gathered the seven Dragon Balls, you may make three wishes..."
Jiang Ling stepped forward, head held high as he looked straight at Shenron.
"Then I'll get right to it. I want to know where the Time Machine used by the Cell Goku killed is."
Shenron's eyes flashed.
"Your wish is simple. The location is now in your mind."
Jiang Ling received the information and nodded.
Then he looked at Goku.
Goku nodded, his face full of anticipation.
Jiang Ling understood. Pointing at Future Chi-Chi, he made his wish to Shenron: "I wish for this Chi-Chi to regain her youthful body and appearance..."
At those words, Future Chi-Chi, who had been soothing her daughter, froze. She looked at Jiang Ling in disbelief.
Jiang Ling waved his hand. "Goku asked me to make this wish..."
Future Chi-Chi looked at Goku, her eyes tender. "Goku... Thank you..."
Goku scratched his head and chuckled.
Nearby, Chi-Chi smiled. "My future self, Goku still cares about us."
"Mm... Goku is acting more and more like the man of the house..."
After Shenron made Future Chi-Chi young again, he waited a while without hearing a third wish. Unable to help himself, he asked, "Have you decided on your third wish?"
Jiang Ling rested a hand against his chin and thought it over. Then he asked everyone, but found that nobody had any wishes for the moment...
"Looks like we don't have any wishes for now..."
Shenron: "Then I'll be off?"
"Sure."
Whoosh—
When it was time to go, Shenron left.
A flash of golden light, and the Dragon Balls turned to stone before shooting into the sky and scattering across the world.
Jiang Ling glanced at everyone present.
Since they were all here, they might as well have a party!
"Hey, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, come over to my place. Let's have a party!!"
"Oh, and bring some food, too..."
Jiang Ling called all the Earth's warriors.
As for Piccolo, he could just use Instant Transmission to go notify him.
Ordinary people had weak energy, so it was hard to sense their ki and teleport precisely to them.
But Piccolo's ki was powerful, and he trained constantly, so he never hid it. Jiang Ling could sense him very easily.
