Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1024: Return to Lin Clan Branch Once Again

Release me! Release me now, You Little Brat!

No!!!

Zheng-Fu replied with a wicked smile on his lips. Before he continued, "I don't know who you are, or how you get in there. But now I have a party with my comrades. So, when my party is over, I'll come back and talk to you again!" Zheng-Fu eased his worries when he realized that the abnormality he sensed was actually harmless. He kept the glass bottle and returned to Guo-Dong and the others to eat together before bidding farewell.

Ten minutes later...

After dealing with some not-so-good things he sensed, Zheng-Fu returned to the city again. He checked to see where Guo-Dong and the group were and sensed that they were not far from where he was. So, he walked over to everyone and met them at that restaurant.

Zheng-Fu!

This way!

As Zheng-Fu entered the restaurant, Guo-Dong and Xi-Dian's shouts rang out, letting Zheng-Fu know which table they were sitting at.

Umm!

Thump!

"Have you finished taking care of your errand?" Xi-Dian asked. However, she still wanted to know about the things he had gone to do.

Umm!

"Everything is finished. By the way, have you ordered any food yet?" Zheng-Fu nodded without explaining what he had done. Before he changed to asking about food instead.

"We already ordered food. But today there were a lot of people, so we had to wait a bit longer." Guo-Dong turned to answer Zheng-Fu with a smile.

"Umm! Well, that's fine!" Zheng Fu replied in a good mood.

However, they talked for a little while, and two male waiters brought out a large amount of food and served it to them.

Here's your food, sir!

They both had the heads of fish but the bodies of humans.

Thank you!

After eating for a while, Zheng-Fu saw that he had a chance to say something, "Everyone, this time will probably be the last time we'll meet. I hope you all are successful in your path!" He let everyone know that he would not be there again.

"Aren't you going to come back here again?" Xi-Dian asked with a sad expression on her face. She still wanted to meet and talk with Zheng-Fu again.

"Yes! After I go back, I'll go to Deity Land. It's time for me to go!" Zheng-Fu nodded to Xi-Dian before casually explaining that he was going to Deity Land.

Deity Land!?

Of course, everyone knew what Zheng-Fu was talking about. Most great skilled masters who had reached the Deity stage went to Deity Land to make themselves stronger. However, many chose to stay in this world until the end of their lives. Because at this energy level, they would be the ones at the top that everyone would fear. But if they went to Deity Land, they were no different from newborn children who had to start building a new foundation for themselves.

"You all have increased your energy levels. So, you all have a chance to go to Deity Land as well. I'll go and wait for you all there. So that you all can live comfortably!" Zheng-Fu knew what everyone was thinking. So, he gave them comforting words to make them feel better.

"Umm! Right as Comrade Zheng-Fu said. Our energy level is now close to the peak of the Deity Soul stage. It means that we still have a chance to meet Comrade Zheng-Fu again. As long as we work hard to cultivate!" Guo-Dong knew that Zheng-Fu was trying to console everyone. Therefore, with him being a group leader, he had to help make everyone feel better.

Yes!

That's right!

"Of course, we still have a chance. Then let's eat and drink to our heart's content today. Drink to congratulate Zheng-Fu. Toast to our kind and considerate new comrade!" Boon-Leng nodded lightly and spoke loudly without paying attention to the people around him because he wanted everyone to feel better.

Huh!?

"What are they happy about?!"

"Boon-Leng, you can keep your voice down a little. It's disturbing other people!" Guo-Dong immediately pulled Boon-Leng to sit down and told him to lower his voice. Because everyone in the restaurant turned to look at them.

Oops!

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I got too carried away because I was overjoyed!" When Boon-Leng realized his mistake, he immediately covered his mouth and sat down, before saying sorry to everyone.

"It's all right. After all, that's just the kind of person he is. Right, everyone?" Zheng-Fu smiled and took the opportunity to tease Boon-Leng, drawing everyone to agree with him.

Yes!!!

Absolutely!

You guys!

Ha ha ha ha!

The seven people spent the remaining time eating, drinking, and talking about many things. Zheng-Fu opened up and shared some of his personal stories with everyone. Of course, he had created a protective curtain to prevent others from hearing their conversation.

One shichen passed...

"Everyone, I have to go now. See you again!"

After more than a shichen had passed, eventually, the party had to come to an end. Zheng-Fu thought it was time for him to return to his Big Brother's Lin Clan.

"Umm! I wish you good luck. I hope that when we meet again, our relationship will remain the same!" Guo-Dong stood up and bid Zheng-Fu farewell with a sad expression.

"That's right! I hope we'll still be the same!"

"When we see you next time, you must be much stronger than us by then!"

"In the future, if we meet again, I... I hope we can talk."

Boon-Leng, Qiu-Zhen, and Lu-Qun bid farewell to Zheng-Fu in their own ways. Only Xi-Dian remained silent. She just sat quietly with her head bowed. It was as if she had lost consciousness.

Xi-Dian!

"Is something wrong with you? Why didn't you say anything?" Guo-Dong noticed his sister's abnormality and turned to ask her with a worried expression.

Creak!!!

Blop!

Ah!

Xi-Dian!

But an unexpected event suddenly occurred. Xi-Dian suddenly stood up and floated over to hug Zheng-Fu.

"Mmm-hmm! Mmm-hmm! Can't you just not go? Can't you stay here any longer?" Xi-Dian finally raised her head with tears streaming down her face.

"I... I... I can't stay. Anyway, I have to go. You're here, and you have to be very careful. Even though I'm no longer in this world, our relationship will still be the same!" Zheng-Fu did not remove Xi-Dian's arm. He let her hug him like that and said comforting words to her.

No!

"I won't let you go anywhere. I like you!"

Hah!

Xi-Dian's words immediately caused everyone's eyes to widen in shock. They did not expect Xi-Dian to speak like this. Especially Zheng-Fu, who was shocked and helpless when she confessed her love.

"I think you're already drunk to talk like this." Zheng-Fu looked at Xi-Dian's face again. He saw that it was very red. There was also the smell of alcohol wafting from her. That made him realize that this mermaid had drunk a lot.

"I'm not drunk! I know everything I'm saying. I know well what I am doing. I know it's inappropriate to say such things. But this is my true feeling that comes from my heart. I don't know when I felt like that. But now I dare to say that I like you!" Xi-Dian was not very drunk. She knew what she was doing and saying. She tried to suppress her emotions, but she could not. She was afraid that if she did not speak today, she would not have the chance to say it forever.

Flap!

"I must apologize to you for not being able to accept your love! I already have someone I like. I hope you can find someone good enough and make you happy!" Zheng-Fu thought he should take her arm off. Otherwise, the situation would probably go further. And he tried to directly tell her that he already had someone in his heart. So that he would not give her hope.

Hah!

"Do you already have someone in your heart? Err! I'm sorry. It was my fault for not thinking carefully. I..."

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Xi-Dian!

My sister!

But before Xi-Dian could finish speaking, she turned and floated out of the restaurant as she sobbed, her tears mixed with the seawater.

Sigh!

"I must apologize on behalf of my sister, Zheng-Fu! She had never been like this before. This was the first time she dared to talk to a man other than me and the rest of the group. And this was also the first time she was in love. I hope you don't…"

"It's okay, Elder Brother Guo-Dong! I don't mind her, and I'm not angry at her. She hasn't done anything wrong. But you should go take care of her. With her current state of mind, it's very easy to be secretly attacked by a weaker person!" Zheng-Fu was not angry at Xi-Dian at all. He felt bad about this incident. But no matter what, he was still worried about her. So, he had Guo-Dong hurry after her in case anything happened.

Umm!

I understand!

"Then see you all again!"

It was time for Zheng-Fu to go. He, therefore, took this opportunity to say goodbye and part ways with everyone.

Umm!

See you again!

After saying goodbye to everyone, Zheng-Fu went to find a suitable place, where there were no people, to summon the Heavenly Gate. He then traveled back to the Lin Clan Branch to meet everyone who was waiting for him.

At the main hall of the Lin Clan Branch...

"It's been several days now. Why hasn't he come back yet?" Mie-Xiang-Qi said in a worried tone, after waiting for Zheng-Fu for many days.

"Don't worry about him. No one can easily do anything to Second Brother, Miss Mie! I believe he can survive!" Da-Ge was also worried. But he was confident in Zheng-Fu.

"But..."

"I never thought Elder Sister Mie would be this worried about me!"

Hah!

Zheng-Fu!

Second Brother!

But suddenly, a familiar voice sounded out. And when everyone turned to look, they saw Zheng-Fu standing there.

"Elder Sister Mie, are you that worried about me? Hmm! I'm so glad to see how much you care about me!" Zheng-Fu walked closer to Mie-Xiang-Qi before playfully teasing her with a broad smile.

You!

"Who said I was worried about you? I'm just worried about who will take me back to the sect?!" Mie-Xiang-Qi's face immediately turned red as she regained her senses. She had just realized that what she had done was very inappropriate. But even so, she could not deny that she was not worried about him.

Oh!

"How sad! Here I am, foolishly happy, thinking you were worried about me. Sigh! Turns out you just need my help after all!" Zheng-Fu could not help but smile even more happily than before. He felt good and warm when he saw that Mie-Xiang-Qi cared about him–a stronger feeling than he got from others. But even then, he did not show it. He just joked as if he did not think anything of it.

You!
