Homecoming, a Family Reunited!

The sea breeze was gentle, and sunset painted the sky.

The gilded lead ship docked steadily at Vast Sea City's harbor. Its gangplank lowered slowly to meet the shore.

Qian Xunzong stepped forward first. Holding Xu Yanqiu's wrist, he led her down from the warship.

Xinghe and Muyou followed close behind. The group carried themselves with quiet dignity as they set foot on the soil of Douluo Continent for the first time in two years.

The moment his feet touched solid ground, Qian Xunzong felt a deep sense of relief.

He had spent two years overseas, weathering storms and danger. Today, he had finally come home.

Qian Daoliu could no longer contain his longing. He hurried forward and, in a single step, appeared before them.

When their eyes met, words seemed hopelessly inadequate.

Sixteen years apart. Sixteen years of waiting and yearning. It all shone in the fierce tenderness of their eyes.

Xu Yanqiu looked at the man before her, his features more mature and composed than she remembered. Tears blurred her vision. "Daoliu..." she whispered.

That single call bridged sixteen years.

Qian Daoliu's eyes reddened. He drew her gently into his arms, holding her as though the slightest movement might disturb the love he had finally found again. His voice was hoarse with emotion.

"Yanqiu, welcome home."

Those few simple words held sixteen years of longing and heartache.

Then Qian Xunji rushed forward. Looking at his parents in each other's arms and the younger brother he had missed for so long, he could hold back no longer. He bent to embrace them, his voice catching.

"Dad, Mom, Little Zong! Our family is finally together again!"

After sixteen years apart and all the trials that had scattered them, the family held one another tight. At last, they were reunited.
