Going Home

Earth still had a long, difficult road ahead.

What Jiang Ling could do was increase the gravity a little, so future Earthlings would have stronger bodies.

As Shenron vanished, Jiang Ling descended from the sky.

Bulma stepped forward and said, "Jiang Ling, a lot of people on Earth died because of Vegeta's last visit. Why didn't you revive them? And I heard Namek suffered heavy casualties this time too..."

Toward the end, her voice grew softer and softer...

The atmosphere at the scene felt as if a layer of gloom had settled over it.

Jiang Ling shook his head. "This Dragon Ball can only revive one person per wish."

Son Goku rested one hand against his chin, looking thoughtful, then suddenly understood. "So that's how it is."

The others nodded too.

Compared to Shenron, Namek's Shenron was way too lacking in that regard, wasn't he?

Even with three wishes, it did not help.

"What a shame. Most of our people were killed by Frieza's army. They can't be revived..."

Dende said dejectedly.

Everyone exchanged glances, then laughed.

While Dende and Nail were still confused, Krillin stepped forward and explained:

"It's fine. Earth's Dragon Balls can revive multiple people at once. Once our Dragon Balls finish cooling down, we'll help revive your people."

Nail's expression brightened.

Dende's eyes lit up, and he jumped three feet high.

"Yay! Then our people can come back to life!"

The gloom dispersed.

The mood gradually relaxed.

The weather was clear, without a cloud for miles.

It was the perfect time for a party.

Son Goku, Son Gohan, Piccolo, and Krillin split up and caught over a dozen fresh ingredients from the wild, then started grilling.

Jiang Ling took out dozens of cases of beer, and the barbecue party officially began!

Gradually...

The surviving Namekians from all directions came here to look for the Grand Elder. After learning what had happened, they all thanked Jiang Ling and the others.

Then they joined the party, and everyone sang and danced together.

At the same time, they also learned a bit of Earth's distinctive culture.

"Four sixes!"

"I'll add one. Five sixes!"

"Eight!"

"I don't believe you have eight sixes! Open! Drink two cups!"

The party lasted a full day and night.

Everyone became very close friends.

Because they had drunk too much, many drunkards lay sprawled all over the place...

Bulma, who had not been drinking, sighed helplessly.

She used a capsule to release a house, then carried Jiang Ling into a room to rest...

As for the others...

She said she was powerless and let them stay outside in the wind.

After a day of rest, Everyone woke up.

Now it was time to part ways.

Jiang Ling brought over a one-man spaceship that the Ginyu Force had used to come to Namek.

He had Goku sit inside.

"Jiang Ling, we can just go back in our own spaceship... Why are you making me take a spaceship alone...?"

Goku was very puzzled by this.

With a mysterious look on his face, Jiang Ling said, "You don't need to go back to Earth for now. I'll explain things to Chi-Chi."

"Huh? Then where am I going?"

"I'm sending you somewhere to train!"

He had only just finished speaking.

Jiang Ling said to the intelligent engine inside the Spaceship, "Go to Planet Yardrat."

"Understood. Please fasten your seat belt and prepare for departure."

The smart voice sounded.

The hatch of the single-person Spaceship slowly closed, carrying the utterly confused Son Goku toward the preset destination.

"Uncle Jiang Ling, why are you sending my dad to that Planet Yada-whatever?" Gohan asked.

The others also looked over curiously, all wanting to know why.

Jiang Ling burst out laughing. "I'm sending him there to train. He'll definitely thank me for it."

"All right, enough about that. Everyone, board the Spaceship and let's head back to Earth."

"Okay."

Everyone said goodbye to the Namekians and boarded the Spaceship.

The Spaceship started up, jets of air blasting from below as they pushed it toward outer space.

On the ship.

With nothing to do, Son Gohan sat in the living room watching cartoons.

Jiang Ling glanced over and suddenly said, "Have you finished your homework?"

The moment Son Gohan heard that, his body shuddered instinctively. He hurriedly turned off the TV and went back to do his homework.

He had only finished one-tenth of it. Most of it was still undone.

If he went back without finishing his homework, his mother would definitely lecture him...

Gohan did not want to go through that.

Piccolo went to the Gravity Training Room.

Even after having his potential unlocked by the Grand Elder and his strength greatly increased, he still did not slack off.

Because judging from the aura Son Goku and Jiang Ling had given off during their battle, he was still far, far behind.

That was why he had to train even harder.

He had to strive to catch up with them.

And then...

Rule the world... maybe?

Thinking of that final "rule the world," he could not help laughing self-mockingly.

Then he continued immersing himself in gravity training.

In another room.

For some reason, Krillin felt his body burning up. In any case, he just could not hold it in anymore...

Lying on the bed.

He looked at his stiff little brother and sighed.

"What is going on..."

"I'm freaking single, don't do this to me. I don't want to go buy it..."

Krillin's blood grew restless, and he paced back and forth around the room, unable to calm down for a long time.

All he could do was train to burn off his energy.

Whether it was a blessing or a curse, he had no idea.

...!

Jiang Ling returned to his own room.

The moment the door closed, the impatient Bulma locked it behind them.

Jiang Ling looked at Bulma's alluring figure, her whole body giving off a seductive air.

His mouth instantly went dry.

He swallowed.

Bulma was wearing something cool and transparent.

Jiang Ling leaned close to her ear. "Turn your back to me and lean against the wall, okay..."

Bulma's face flushed as she felt the warm breath beside her ear.

She obediently did as he said.

"Lift up a little. Mm, that's just right..."

"Jiang Ling, I can't take it anymore..."

Hearing that seductive voice, Jiang Ling smiled faintly.

"Just watch how I deal with you today, you little temptress."

It happened fast—smack.

Jiang Ling launched a sneak attack.

A vivid, sensual scene played out in the room.

Time passed quickly. Before anyone knew it, the spaceship had brought everyone to a blue planet.

That planet was Earth.

"!!"

"We're finally back..."

The spaceship landed on Earth. Everyone disembarked and took a deep breath.

"I still like Earth's air better."

Krillin said with a smile.

Son Gohan lowered his head and said nothing.

Jiang Ling noticed and asked, "Gohan, why do you look so listless...?"

"My homework... still isn't finished..." Gohan poked his two index fingers together, looking as if he had done something wrong.

Jiang Ling and Bulma exchanged a glance, then laughed. "Don't worry. We'll go back with you."

"But... my homework..."

Jiang Ling smiled. He had already promised Goku he would look after Gohan, and he couldn't go back on his word. "It's fine. Just leave it to me when the time comes."

Krillin returned to Kame House.

Leaving everything else aside, his gains this time were enormous—his battle power alone had increased several times over.

Now he had to go back, train, and adapt to his new strength.

Although Master Roshi's combat power was a little low, he had plenty of experience. With him providing guidance, Krillin could quickly integrate this new power.

Jiang Ling, Bulma, and Son Gohan arrived at Mount Paozu.

This was where the Son family lived.

Right now, only Chi-Chi was in the house.

Tap, tap, tap—

Jiang Ling knocked on the front door.

"Chi-Chi! Are you home?"

Very soon.

A gentle female voice came from inside the house.

"Coming, coming."

The front door opened.

The lady of the house appeared.

Her skin was fair and delicate, her long hair black and glossy, and her features exquisite.

She wore a qipao that outlined her graceful figure.

"Oh, it's Jiang Ling and Bulma. You're back? Then where are my Goku and Gohan?"

Seeing them, Chi-Chi was first pleasantly surprised, then fired off questions in rapid succession.

She couldn't be blamed for it.

She was a very traditional woman.

Not seeing her husband and son, she was naturally worried.

"Mom, I'm here..."

Son Gohan stepped out from behind Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling said with a cheerful smile:

"We came here right after we got back."
