Return to Earth

A flash of red light, and Shenron once again used his divine power.

"Your wishes have all been granted. Farewell."

A red glow flashed past. Shenron vanished, the sky regained its color, and the seven balls turned to stone before scattering in every direction.

"Mr. Li Feng, all of your wishes have been fulfilled. Please allow us to offer our sincere thanks once again."

Nail bowed again.

He knew full well just how fierce that battle had been. If Li Feng had not dealt with that demon, Namek would have ceased to exist.

And Li Feng had killed Frieza, not only avenging the people of Namek, but also making two wishes to Shenron to restore Namek to its original state. That was truly an enormous debt of gratitude.

"It's fine. Give our regards to the Grand Elder. We should be leaving too."

Li Feng waved a hand.

"Hmph. Earth? I have no desire to return to that barren place."

Vegeta snorted coldly.

"Don't flatter yourself, Vegeta. I never said Earth."

Li Feng smiled.

"There's a place that's a natural battlefield. I'll be training there later."

"What? Really? Li Feng, you have to take me there!"

At the mention of training, Wukong's eyes lit up at once, and he hurriedly begged Li Feng to take him along.

"Damn it, Kakarot, don't even think about sneaking off alone. Wait—Li Feng, I'm going too!"

When Vegeta heard about training, he panicked too. Throwing dignity aside, he immediately swallowed his pride and made his request to Li Feng.

"That's easy. The place we're going is Planet Yardrat."

"But before that, let's go back to Earth first. Our family and friends there have been worried for a long time."

Li Feng smiled.

Then he flew toward the spaceship.

"I also learned a skill earlier. It's called Instant Transmission, and it can take us straight back to Earth."

After pressing the exterior button on the ship, the spaceship whooshed into a capsule, which Li Feng put back into his pocket.

"There's actually such a thing?"

Piccolo said in surprise.

"Put your hands on my shoulder."

Li Feng silently sensed Earth's ki.

"Hmph."

Vegeta was curious about Li Feng's Instant Transmission too, but he still haughtily placed his hand on Li Feng's shoulder.

Wukong, Gohan, and Piccolo did the same.

"Found it."

Though it was very far away, the ki of Krillin and the others on Earth was still quite easy to distinguish compared with everyone else's.

"Whoosh!"

The group vanished in an instant.

Earth, West City.

"Oh, Chi-Chi, stop worrying about them. Li Feng and the others are so strong, they'll definitely beat the enemy."

Krillin, standing nearby, was comforting Chi-Chi.

"But Gohan is still so young. What if something happens... waaah—"

Before she had said more than a couple of sentences, Chi-Chi started crying in Bulma's arms again.

"It's all right, Chi-Chi. They'll definitely come back safely."

Bulma also comforted her softly.

This was already the Nth time. During the first month, things had still been relatively normal, but in the month after that, Chi-Chi had come over almost every day to complain. Bulma was fairly helpless too, so she had no choice but to call Krillin and the other Z Fighters over as well.

However, the worry and longing Bulma felt for Li Feng had also been growing stronger by the day.

"Whoosh!"

A gust of wind swept past.

Five figures appeared on the ground.

"Huh? This really is Earth!"

Wukong scratched his head, amazed by Li Feng's Instant Transmission.

"Ah, it's Mom!"

Gohan saw Chi-Chi and immediately threw himself at her.

"Huh? Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Is that Gohan? Gohan! My Gohan! Wuuuu—"

Chi-Chi held Gohan as tears of worry and joy poured out.

"Bulma, I'm back."

Li Feng also greeted Bulma.

For a moment, seeing that familiar figure before her, Bulma could no longer hold back the longing in her heart. Like a young swallow returning to its nest, she threw herself at Li Feng.

"You bastard! You were gone for so long—"

Feeling Bulma's embrace, Li Feng also felt her love and longing, and quickly comforted her.

"Didn't I come back safe and sound? Everything's fine now..."

Li Feng comforted her as well.

"Hmph!"

Vegeta couldn't stand this kind of scene and left on his own.

He had promised Li Feng before that he would go to Planet Yardrat to train, and while he was on Earth, he could no longer hurt innocent people or destroy the planet at will.

Piccolo also left alone. He knew that Planet Yardrat wasn't suited to him. This trip to Namek had also fulfilled his wish, and from now on, he would train by himself. He had no intention of falling behind those Saiyans again.

"Huh? Isn't that Vegeta? Why did that demon come back with you?"

Only then did Krillin realize Vegeta had returned with them.

"It's fine. He's no threat to us anymore."

Li Feng told everyone about their experience on Namek.

When they heard that there had been enemies on Namek even more terrifying than Vegeta, everyone felt a lingering fear and tension.

And when they heard that Li Feng had turned into a Super Saiyan, everyone became excited and thrilled.

Bulma in particular kept both hands wrapped around Li Feng's arm. Although she had not been there and was only listening in silence, she could imagine how dangerous the situation had been, and she could not help holding him even tighter, silently venting her unease and worry.

"That's how it was. In one month, we'll be going to Planet Yardrat to train."

After Li Feng finished recounting the trip to Namek, he also explained his plans for the future.

"Huh? You're leaving again so soon?"

Bulma squeezed Li Feng even tighter and frowned as she spoke.

"There's still a month, isn't there? I'll spend this month properly with you."

Only after Li Feng comforted Bulma for a while did she agree.

"Then, to celebrate everyone's safe return, it's my treat today. Everyone, eat and drink to your heart's content!"

As the richest person on Earth, Bulma displayed the generosity of a wealthy lady. With a grand wave of her hand, all kinds of household robots appeared and began preparing various delicacies.

"Yeah!"

Everyone cheered and enjoyed themselves together.

As Saiyans, their appetites were no different from the giant apes they transformed into. Li Feng, Wukong, Gohan, and the others had bottomless stomachs. Even after the few of them ate enough for several hundred people, they still did not stop. In the end, Vegeta also came over, displaying the unyielding spirit of a true eating warrior, and joined this gourmet feast. Only after he had eaten his fill did he leave.

After the revelry, Chi-Chi dragged Wukong away by the ear and took Gohan with her, while everyone else went home. At this point, only Bulma's family and Li Feng were still outdoors.

"Oh my, it's late. We should rest too. Good night, Bulma, Li Feng."

Mrs. Brief smiled as she took her husband's hand and left.

"Good night, Aunt Brief, Mr. Brief."

"Good night, Dad, Mom."

Bulma and Li Feng exchanged a smile, then quietly returned inside.

That night, Bulma poured out her longing, worry, dissatisfaction, excitement, joy, and everything else to Li Feng. And as a strong Saiyan, Li Feng fully embraced all of Bulma's feelings. The two of them once again carried out the sublimation of life...
