Chapter 459 - 366: Welcome Home (Part 2)
At the peak of Star Dust, with an extraordinarily strong physique, Lu Lin naturally wouldn’t have the trouble of diarrhea.
However, with delicious food available, who would go for those half-cooked, tasteless meals?
Three days later, Lu Lin saw the familiar Food God City from afar.
At this moment, outside Food God City, Chen Danqing, Zhang Nutao, Cha Yuan, Lv Susu, Zhao Lei, Duan Ya, Zhu Henian, Xing Fang, and other newly titled kings, including Mu Xiaolian, Lei Xiao, and Xiong Tu, whom Lu Lin had never met, were all standing at the city gate, waiting to welcome Lu Lin’s arrival.
Besides them, there were a full 521 Level 9 experts from the Titled King Division, along with an even larger number of Level 8 and Level 7 experts.
Among these people, Lu Lin recognized familiar faces.
Li Qingyun, Wang Jianfang, Wan Shusheng, Yang Jun, Tian Dayin, Tian Dalan, Li Feihong.
There were also members of the 19th team of the Star Investigation Office where Lu Lin belonged, Bai Buyi, Fang Gang, and Chen Xiran.
As well as some classmates from Iron Blood College, Hang Jianshe, Cong Xiaolong, Zhu Haolin, Yao Zongheng, and Zheng Yulong.
When seeing Zheng Yulong, a flash of cold light passed in Lu Lin’s eyes imperceptibly.
Earlier, after devouring the black shark’s memory, he learned a lot about the Black Shark Society.
Including the existence of Zheng Yulong and his surveillance of Lu Lin.
This time, when he was hijacked into the Exotic Battlefield from high above Jupiter, it’s likely Zheng Yulong had a hand in it.
This guy was one of the culprits responsible for the death of the two teachers, Zhang Xianzhi and Bao Hu.
However, now was not the time to deal with him.
Lu Lin showed a slight smile and flew to meet the people who came to greet him.
"Dear seniors, Lu Lin is humble and unaccomplished, with low cultivation. How can I let the honorable seniors wait here? It truly makes me feel ashamed."
"Hahaha, Lu Lin, you lad, when you were out there killing Star Generals and slaying Divine Lords, spreading the prestigious name of our Human Federation across the Exotic Battlefield, you were quite the spirited one. Why adopt such a posture now that you’ve returned home?"
Chen Danqing stepped forward and said.
He had high regard for Lu Lin from a long time ago, knowing this child would soar high in the future, but even he did not expect this.
In just a few months, Lu Lin had grown to this extent.
He astonished everyone, leaving many in disbelief.
From awakening on June 1st last year, this young man, who even needed to pass a challenge competition to enter Iron Blood College, accomplished the feat of making the Alien Race tremble in less than ten months.
In recent days, near the border between human and alien territories, the martial artists on guard could not see the usual provocative Alien Star Soldiers, nor were there any demon beasts daring to leap over the human defense line.
Lu Lin’s contribution to humans is far greater than all present put together.
With Chen Danqing’s remark, Lu Lin neither acknowledged nor refuted, just standing there chuckling.
Being out for so long.
He was moved beyond words upon hearing Chen Danqing’s phrase "now that you’re home."
During the space jump on the starship,
when Bao Hu and Zhang Xianzhi unhesitatingly charged out to cover him,
when Alien Star Generals were leading hundreds of Star Soldiers to hunt him down,
when ten Divine Lords appeared, and eight Star Generals surrounded Lu Lin,
when he retreated with Fan Hong in the Battlefield Secret Realm,
when he taught a bunch of mischievous kids a lesson on North Scorching Mountain,
at the moment he left the Battlefield Secret Realm and saw Bao Hu,
when he punched the Demonic God Feng Long out of the city in the Demon God Kingdom,
when he single-handedly confronted over forty Star Generals and tens of thousands of Star Soldiers,
when the Black Dragon God raised his head to look at him with nostrils flaring,
every single day outside, Lu Lin was engaged in struggles here and there,
constantly wary of enemies, tirelessly cultivating to improve his skills.
No matter where he was, Lu Lin lived in suspense. Only upon seeing Food God City, faced with the welcoming presence of family and friends, and hearing Chen Danqing say "now that you’re home,"
Lu Lin controlled himself diligently.
Yet he couldn’t hold it in.
Tears rolled down like strings of broken beads from his eyes.
"What are you crying for!"
"You’re already eighteen, a man, and you’re still crying, isn’t it embarrassing!"
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from the crowd.
Through tears, Lu Lin looked ahead.
He saw a middle-aged man holding mom Meng Yu’s hand, walking towards Lu Lin.
"Dad!"
"Mom!"
Lu Lin couldn’t believe how, in such a short time, the federation managed to bring his mom and dad from Saturn to the Exotic Battlefield.
"Still crying, what are you crying for!"
Lu Ping raised his hand, intending to wipe away Lu Lin’s tears, but just then, his tears couldn’t help but fall.
Beside him, Meng Yu was holding Lu Lin’s head, crying uncontrollably, with tears streaming down.
Eighteen years.
Their child, whom they had raised for eighteen years, was hijacked by the Alien Race during a starship journey to an alien planet, something that no one could imagine how much it pained their hearts.
Even though the federation staff had explained that Lu Lin was doing well on the Exotic Battlefield, with no safety concerns.
But a mother worries thousands of miles away, they couldn’t stop their longing until they saw Lu Lin.
Lu Lin’s dad had even numerous times expressed his desire to take a gun into the Exotic Battlefield for revenge on Lu Lin’s behalf.
Lv Susu and others, in helplessness, arranged for members of the 19th team of Star Investigation Office, Chen Xiran, Fang Gang, and Bai Buyi, to stay near Lu Lin’s parents, to protect them and prevent them from doing anything foolish.
The family of three hugged each other tightly, weeping together.
Even the presence of dozens of titled kings and hundreds of Level 9 experts did not affect them.
Finally, after five minutes of cathartic sobbing, Lu Lin managed to calm himself down.
He suddenly remembered that, although he had returned safely, many passengers and crew members of the starship were still in his Soul Sealing Space Crystal.
Being at Food God City now equivalented to being back in the federation.
These people, residing day and night in the Soul Sealing Space Crystal, were also filled with fear, lest they might never wake up one day.
Previously, Lu Lin had indeed told them, if Lu Lin were to die, they certainly wouldn’t survive either.
Fortunately.
Despite numerous hardships along the way, Lu Lin ultimately brought everyone back safely to the federation.
"Mom, Dad, let me handle something first."
"Senior Lv, please find an open space, I still have over a thousand people here."
Lv Susu naturally understood, and even before Lu Lin’s return, she had already been advancing this matter.
She waved her hand, and immediately many martial artists with Light, Wood, and Water Attributes came over, ready for Lu Lin to release people.
"Everyone, it’s safe now. I’ll let you all out."
