Chapter 16 Going to University
As they passed through the sea of flowers, the scenery in front of Ding Hao made him speechless again.
They were on the island, but before they reached the center, he saw another sea.
Ding Hao reluctantly got on the fancy boat carefully prepared by Wen Duoqing, which drifted slowly on the “sea” on Heaven Island.
Ding Hao finally understood the concept of Wen Duoqing’s design. Wen Duoqing separated the center of Heaven Island from the surrounding area with seawater to form an island on the island, so as to create a sense of fairyland.
The island in the center was not very large, but its layout was extremely exquisite. Most importantly, it could float in the air.
The island was built for the couple’s honeymoon-like life, and the inspiration came from the hanging garden on Earth.
But at this moment, Wen Duoqing was a little unhappy because Ding Hao did not approve of his design.
Wen Duoqing was no longer interested in revealing the secret of the central island to Ding Hao, so he directly went to see Ding Ke’er with him.
“Brother, it’s been a long time since you’ve come to see me!” A coquettish voice sounded.
As soon as Ding Hao appeared on this floating island, he heard a very sweet and familiar voice. It was Ding Hao’s sister, Ding Ke’er, the girl he doted on the most.
Ding Ke’er looked a little more mature than before, but her watery eyes were shining with the aura of a girl. Especially when she saw Ding Hao, she acted like a girl completely.
Ding Ke’er had reunited with Ding Hao many years ago, and Ding Hao had given her incomparable care. Over the years, she often went to Earth to accompany their parents, so she had her family’s care and felt like a little girl.
In addition, the whole continent was now in a harmonious atmosphere. Her husband, Wen Duoqing, was actually an extremely talented one. He was extremely considerate of her feelings. It could be said that she was doted on by lots of people.
Ding Hao would come to the Southern Wilderness every once in a while.
But for a long time, there was no sign of him, which made Ding Ke’er miss him very much.
“Little girl, I’m here now. I was busy some time ago. You see, I finally managed to visit you now!” Ding Hao comforted her.
“How long will you stay here this time?” Ding Ke’er continued to ask.
“Don’t worry. This time, I will wait until Childe Wen chases me away, hahaha.” Ding Hao glanced at Wen Duoqing and teased him, who was ignored aside.
Ding Ke’er pouted and said, “Humph, he wouldn’t dare to do it!”
Wen Duoqing was about to retort, but after hearing Ding Ke’er’s words, he could only shut up.
In front of outsiders, Ding Ke’er was as cold as ice. In front of Ding Hao and her husband, she was like an inexperienced little girl.
Ding Hao told his sister what he had thought about recently.
Only in front of Ding Ke’er would Ding Hao speak his mind.
Ding Ke’er listened with great interest. Everything about her brother always sounded so interesting.
In the past few days, Ding Hao, Ding Ke’er, and her husband had carefully patrolled the Southern Wilderness.
A few days later, Ding Hao told Ding Ke’er that he wanted to go back to Earth to visit their parents.
After hearing this, Ding Ke’er said excitedly, “I’ll go too!”
Ding Hao happily agreed. He had planned to take his sister back to be with their parents.
Since Ding Ke’er was going, Wen Duoqing would naturally go with her.
Although he was from the Demon Clan, he had already transformed into his human form. As a polite son-in-law, he knew how to please Ding Ke’er’s parents.
After arranging many things in the Southern Wilderness, Ding Ke’er and Wen Duoqing came to Earth happily with her elder brother.
…
Ding Hao had lived on Earth for more than ten years. Every time he came back, he would have an indescribably warm feeling.
So did Ding Ke’er and Wen Duoqing. Earth was a very novel place for them. If it weren’t for the great time difference between here and the Heaven Path world, they would definitely go to Earth every now and then.
Of course, for the habitants on Earth, these powerful people would be regarded as immortal beings. Ding Hao and the others, including Ding Shengtan and his wife, who had been living on Earth for a long time, were hiding their strength all the time. They didn’t want to cause too much disturbance.
After all, Ding Shengtan and Yu Qingcheng also took a fancy to the peace and comfort on Earth. People from the Heaven Path world should not change the original appearance of this beautiful and fragile planet.
Ding Hao and the others returned to their home on Earth.
As expected, Ding Shengtan and Yu Qingcheng were killing enemies in the Heroes’ League again.
When they saw their children and son-in-law coming, they were so into the game that they didn’t have time to pay attention to them for the time being. They just waved at them from a distance and shouted, “You’re here. Have a seat. This round will be over in a while.”
“Evil Earth residents, how could you be so idle? Are you going to stay this way even if there’s an alien invasion?”
Ding Hao criticized in his heart.
However, Wen Duoqing, the son-in-law of the Demon Clan, was very good at pleasing his parents-in-law. As soon as he came over, he joined them to play the video game. Not long after he first came to Earth, he figured out what they liked.
Ding Shengtan and Yu Qingcheng were increasingly satisfied with their son-in-law.
“Hao, our daughter has brought our son-in-law this time. How come you didn’t bring our four daughters-in-law here as well?” Yu Qingcheng walked to Ding Hao’s side and asked him since she didn’t see her daughters-in-law.
At this time, Wen Duoqing had already taken over Yu Qingcheng’s role in the game.
“Well, they are busy. Maybe I’ll bring them over next time,” Ding Hao said perfunctorily.
“I haven’t seen my grandchildren Tianshuang, Chunqiu, Luoxue, and Lingfeng for a long time…” Yu Qingcheng muttered a few more words. She then turned to Ding Ke’er and asked about her recent situation.
Although Yu Qingcheng and Ding Shengtan were still maintaining the strength of the Primordial Realm, they were becoming more and more like authentic parents on Earth with the way they acted and thought.
That night, Ding Ke’er accompanied her mother to prepare a sumptuous dinner in the kitchen.
Ding Shengtan, with a scruffy beard, held a cigarette in his mouth and talked with his son and son-in-law about the current situation of the continent in the Heaven Path world.
It had been a long time since Ding Hao had experienced such a happy family life on Earth.
One day on Earth made it a year in the Heaven Path world.
After all, Ding Ke’er and her husband could not stay on Earth for too long. Three days later, they needed to go back to the Heaven Path first.
Ding Hao did not return to the Heaven Path together with them. He chose to stay on Earth to accompany his parents.
Before coming to Earth, Ding Hao had already patrolled the entire Heaven Path world. In the future, there would be no changes there. Moreover, Ding Ke’er would come to Earth to reunite with her family every once in a while and tell Ding Hao something about what had happened there.
In this way, Ding Hao could stay on Earth with peace of mind and accompany his parents to live an ordinary life.
The day after Ding Hao came to Earth, early in the morning, he accompanied his mother to the market, leaving his father alone on the rooftop to bask in the sun and read the newspaper.
Ding Hao soon fitted into the role. He was now a very ordinary young man. He sealed all his cultivation and no longer thought about anything in the Heaven Path world. Like an ordinary person, he accompanied his mother to go shopping and even bargained with the vendors for a few dollars.
He enjoyed this kind of life very much.
In the vast secular world, there was also something that needed to be experienced.
Ding Hao had been thinking about what Xuan Tianzong had said before he left.
On the way, the mother and son met a lot of acquaintances, many of whom were good friends of Yu Qingcheng. Like most middle-aged women on Earth, Yu Qingcheng made a lot of good friends after settling down.
The slightly plump woman in front of them was one of her friends.
“Hey, little Hao? I haven’t seen you for more than a year, and you have become so handsome!” The middle-aged woman’s words were full of surprise. She looked Ding Hao up and down carefully.
“Auntie Li, it’s been a long time since we last met,” Ding Hao said with a smile.
“I heard that you went abroad to study this year. Little Hao, tell me secretly, did you bring back a foreign girl?” Auntie Li looked at Ding Hao expectantly.
Ding Hao was speechless.
“Ahem, he’s still young. It’s too soon to think about those things. Li, Hao has brought a lot of strange things from abroad. Come to my house these two days. He has prepared some gifts for you.” Yu Qingcheng greeted the neighbor skillfully. She had long been used to this kind of casual chat between neighbors.
“Really? Little Hao not only became more handsome but also more sensible. Hahaha.” Auntie Li smiled from ear to ear and praised Ding Hao.
She chatted with the mother and son for a while and then hurried to the market.
Along the way, Ding Hao encountered a lot of his family’s friends. Many old acquaintances, including peers and elders, were very concerned about Ding Hao when they saw him. Ding Hao and his mother answered all their questions together.
Ding Hao had been in the Heaven Path world for three or four hundred years, and it had only been a year since for people on Earth. When Ding Hao met these old acquaintances, he felt as if a lifetime had passed, while these people had only not seen him for a year.
This gave Ding Hao the illusion of traveling through time and space.
However, he was quite happy and enjoyed all of this.
All day long, if Ding Hao had not accompanied his mother, he would also have gone out shopping alone to experience life. Ding Shengtan, his father, was still working in the urban management team. Most of the time during the day, Ding Hao told his mother about his life with his wives and children, which was what his mother was most concerned about.
In the evening, Ding Shengtan returned home. But after a not luxurious but sumptuous dinner, the three watched TV series while talking about their past lives.
They talked about Ding Hao on Earth and about Ding Hao, who was in the slums district before entering the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. They even talked about the couple’s respective experiences and various romantic encounters before Ding Shengtan met Yu Qingcheng.
Laughter and joy rang out from Ding Hao’s home from time to time.
…
When Xiaoxiao learned that Ding Hao was back, this beautiful girl next door went to Ding Hao’s house almost every day.
Xiaoxiao, who was about to begin her third year of high school, suddenly felt the pressure of studying. She asked Ding Hao, the former top scorer of the college entrance examination, to help her with her homework. Everyone could tell what the young girl was up to.
Ding Hao was also willing to help his childhood sweetheart. With his stunning wisdom, almost no questions could baffle him. He could know the answers at a glance. Under his special explanation, many of the questions seemed to be extremely easy and simple. His lecture made Xiaoxiao suddenly enlightened.
Xiaoxiao was a smart girl. She could quickly understand and master the knowledge that Ding Hao had taught her.
In Ding Hao’s view, with Xiaoxiao’s qualifications, it should not be a problem for her to get admitted to Norsteem University, the best institution in the country.
Perhaps it was the influence of Xiaoxiao, or maybe Ding Hao had his own new plans. One day, Ding Hao told his parents that he wanted to go to college.
That was what he decided.
Before his transmigration, Ding Hao had been admitted to the physics department of Henshire University with excellent grades. Now, it had only been more than two years since the college entrance examination. At that time, Ding Shengtan and his wife had gone through the suspension formalities for him so the school withheld his status as a student. Therefore, he now only needed to go through some formalities to go back to school.
Although Ding Shengtan and Yu Qingcheng didn’t know what Ding Hao was up to, they didn’t ask.
Ding Hao must have his own reasons for doing so.
