A few hours had pa.s.sed and Sheng Feilong, alongside Yuanen Yehui, She Meixiao and Huang Jialong, were eagerly awaiting the time the ship docks at the port . Even regular people could already see the Douluo Continent at the horizon; It wouldn"t be much longer until the arrive .
Among them, Huang Jialong was probably the least excited one and looked more vary than anything else . As a native from the Star Luo Continent, this was his first time seeing the Douluo Continent . He heard from She Meixiao that it wasn"t that different, especially in regards to Daedalus, but he still couldn"t fully suppress his worries about the uncertainties .
As always, She Meixiao had a faint smile on her face, making it hard for anyone to guess what she was thinking, much less how she was feeling about their return . Still, after two months of travelling on sea, it could be a.s.sumed that she was at least glad to soon have solid ground beneath her feet .
Sheng Feilong was in a different situation compared to them; He was honestly excited to see his father and Song Weihan again and couldn"t wait to reach the Douluo Continent . A lot of things had happened during the time on the Star Luo Continent; From fighting Long Yue and refuting the Emperor, to the dozens of Daedalus bases and lastly, the person currently standing next to him .
Unlike Sheng Feilong, Yuanen Yehui wasn"t just excited about returning to the Douluo Continent . After what happened to Elder Cai when she joined Sheng Feilong and She Meixiao, Yuanen Yehui couldn"t help but fear repercussions from Shrek Academy .
Yet, none of them had happened yet . She hadn"t heard of Shrek Academy doing or planning anything, nor did her Clan contact her in any way . This complete lack of anything happening left her with an uneasy feeling; A feeling as if something was about to happen .
Sheng Feilong noticed her unease and casually grabbed her hand . Yuanen Yehui flinched and stared at him, only to be met with a confident smile . She turned her head back and glanced downwards, but didn"t pull her hand away, which caused Sheng Feilong to smirk .
Slowly, more and more people started coming to the deck to look at the coastline . With the Douluo Continent in plain sight, people got more emotional . Not everyone was able to deal with the two months of travel as well as Sheng Feilong and the others; Some were openly laughing to express their joy, while some others had to suppress tears .
Those were mostly commoners, but even some Soul Masters started getting to get infected by the heated atmosphere . The closer they got tot the sh.o.r.e, the more elated people became . Slowly, they started to spot people they know among the crowds at the port .
Compared to them, Sheng Feilong and the other"s were much more calm and collected . There also wasn"t anyone to come and get them; As they were already travelling with She Meixiao, there wasn"t any need to do so .
Soon, they docked the port and started to get off the ship . Sheng Feilong and the others made their way through the crowd, looking for a more quiet place to plan on how to go back to the Daedalus headquarters . Three of them were smiling, while Huang Jialong was still somewhat cautious .
As She Meixiao had told him, everything was somewhat different, though not too much . Apparently, this was just one of the coastal cities on the Douluo Continent and it naturally couldn"t be compared to places like Heaven Dou City or even Shrek City .
After some time, the four of them were already on the road again; She Meiixao had rented a car and was driving them back to Starling City, where the Daedalus Headquarters were located . Still, with their current speed, they only reached the city by dusk . From there, they travelled a bit north until they finally reached the headquarters .
Sheng Feilong"s eyes lit up soon after as he saw Sheng Lingtian and Song Weihan already standing in front of the entrance, waiting for them . Both of them hadn"t changed much from how they looked before, with the exception of both of them looking much more in-place with Daedalus .
When Sheng Feilong and She Meixiao left to set out to the Star Luo Contiennt, they had barely been at Daedalus for half a year and hardly gotten used to living and working their, but now, after another one and a half years, they were totally content with their place, something that could clearly be seen on both of their faces .
Following after She Meixiao, Sheng Feilong, Huang Jialong and Yuanen Yehui stepped out of the car and all four of them walked over to Sheng Lingtian and Song Weihan . The latter two were surprised to see two unfamiliar faces instead of just Sheng Feilong and She Meixiao, but didn"t mind at all other than that .
Sheng Feilong was the first to step forward and stand in front of both of them with a huge smile on his face . Sheng Lingtian and Song Weihan didn"t say anything and only smiled back at him, the former looking him up and down and nodding his head repeatedly . "Master, Father, I"m back!"
The two of them looked at him again, Song Weihan just with a smile on his face, nodding in acknowledgement, while Sheng Lingtian"s smile grew wider until it matched Sheng Feilong . "Welcome home, Feilong . "
The three of them ignored the others for a moment, before She Meixiao cleared her throat loudly, pulling them out of their own little world . Sheng Lingtian laughed somewhat awkwardly, while Song Weihan casually strode over to She Meixiao . "Welcome back, Madam She . "
"Thank you, Sir Song . Though I have to admit, it"s always funny to see you act so emotional around Feilong . " She Meixiao smiled at Song Weihan, giving a rather strange remark, that Song Weihan brushed of with a chuckle . She Meixiao"s eyebrows rose slightly and she looked at him with surprise . "Your reputation as a genius is truly well deserved, Sir Song . . . Congratulations . "
Song Weihan took the compliment with a calm smile and expressed his thanks, leaving Sheng Feilong and the other"s, save for Sheng Lingtian, confused . She Meixiao was referring to Song Weihan"s cultivation level, something that Sheng Feilong, Huang Jialong and Yuanen Yehui were too weak to determine .
Despite being barely over 40 years of age, Song Weihan had already reached the threshold of a Hyper Douluo; The very limit of a rank 93 t.i.tled Douluo . Judging his foundation as well, She Meixiao was certain that he could actually break through to rank 94 whenever he wanted to, but was still refraining from doing so for some unknown reason .
Finally, Song Weihan and Sheng Lingtian turned to the two unfamiliar faces, the latter speaking to She Meixiao in a casual tone . "And who might these two be?" She Meixiao mentioned for them to introduce themselves, causing Huang Jialong to take a step forward . "Greeting, Senior . My name is Huang Jialong . I"ve become Master She"s disciple during her travels on the Star Luo Continent . "
"You"re not a native of the Douluo Continent?" Song Weihan was surprised that Huang Jialong would come to the Douluo Continent with She Meixiao alone, but didn"t question him any further after he nodded with a calm smile .
Sheng Lingtian didn"t really mind this as much as Song Weihan and just acknowledged him with a nod as he saw Sheng Feilong smile . Then, he turned towards Yuanen Yehui who had remained quiet with her head slightly lowered until now . "And who might you be?"
Yuanen Yehui flinched and looked at Sheng Lingtian while fidgeting a bit . "Greetings, Senior . My name is Yuanen Yehui . I am new member of Daedalus, that was invited by Senior She and Feilong during their travels on the Star Luo Continent . I"m originally a student of Shrek Academy . "
Before Sheng Lingtian could say anything, Sheng Feilong chimed in with a smile . "I think I"ve told you about her before, father, Master . She"s the Soul Master with the Fallen Angel Spirit Essence from Shrek"s second grade . "
"Ah, yes, you did tell me about her before . I didn"t expect her to join Daedalus, though . " Song Weihan spoke with a small smile as he noticed her nervousness . Yuanen Yehui was still fidgeting around a bit as Sheng Lingtian still hadn"t said anything .
She cautiously looked up at the latter, only to see Sheng Lingtian intently stare at her with a distraught expression . His eyes were shaking a little and his mouth was slightly opened . The others noticed his look as well, causing Sheng Feilong to nudge his shoulder . "Father?"
"Ah, I"m sorry . You said your name is Yuanen Yehui? It"s nice to meet you . I"m Sheng Lingtian, but you can just call me uncle Sheng . " He quickly snapped out of his daze and showed a strained smile while introducing himself . He turned towards Huang Jialong, still smiling . "The same goes for you, of course; Just call me uncle Sheng . "
He hid it very well, but with their high Spirit Power, She Meixiao and Song Weihan could clearly feel the grief behind Sheng Lingtian"s smile . The same goes for Sheng Feilong; He had never seen his father like this . "Father, are you okay . . ?"
The latter smiled wryly again and nodded towards Sheng Feilong . "Don"t worry, I"m alright . I just remembered something unpleasant . " Sheng Feilong looked concerned, but didn"t question his father further and nodded his head lightly .
"Ah, that"s right!" Sheng Feilong suddenly blurted out . The other"s looked at him with surprise before he walked over to Yuanen Yehui"s side and once again grabber her hand . Song Weihan rose an eyebrow while She Meixiao and Huang Jialong smirked slightly .
Sheng Feilong pulled her along and stepped a bit closer to Sheng Lingtain and Song Weihan with a broad smile on his face . "Sorry; I should"ve said this sooner . Father, Master, Yehui is my girlfriend . I hope you two will give us your blessings!"
