The Cannon Fodder and Her Mr. Right

Chapter 573: Chapter 546: We Are Family

“If you were interested in my little sister, this journey wouldn’t be so boring,” Iron Tower thought.

According to his initial plan, his sister should have become Daoist couples with Han Feiyu and given birth to a child during this long journey.

If everything went well, his little nephew should be at the foundation establishment stage now, capable of flying freely in the sky.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go well.

Thinking about this, Iron Tower sighed deeply.

“Eldest brother, you’re sighing while we’re eating. What’s up?” Iron Blue approached with a plate of Crystal Long Meat and asked.

“It’s nothing. Just feel that the three of us seem to lack something, feeling a bit lonely,” Iron Tower hinted evasively.

Iron Blue blushed and returned to cooking following the cookbook. Han Feiyu, on the other hand, casually continued his meal. He’d grown immune to such comments after hearing them frequently.

“Brother Iron, the journey back to my sect is long. Are you two sure you still want to accompany me?

“It’s been almost 60 years now,” Han Feiyu stated, aware that the journey back to the sect might take centuries. He didn’t want to involve the siblings.

“What are you talking about? Are you getting tired of us?” Iron Tower opened his eyes wide, showing a hint of anger in his voice.

“Of course not. I was just thinking that since we’ve already received the signal from Ice Realm Immortal City, it won’t be long before we can teleport there.

“I heard there are several esteemed ones guarding that place. It won’t be as easy to breach like Ice Abyss Immortal City. You two could live a peaceful life there,” Han Feiyu hurriedly added. He had the siblings’ best interests at heart.

He had even secretly prepared farewell gifts to ensure the siblings could practice their cultivation without worry.

A large hand heavily slapped Han Feiyu on the shoulder.

“Brother Xu, do you acknowledge me as your elder brother?” Iron Tower asked seriously.

“Of course, we have helped each other out on this journey, you’ve saved my life, I absolutely will consider you as my elder brother,” Han Feiyu solemnly replied.

“Iron Blue and I have no relatives left in the Extreme North Territory, from now on, we’re a family.”

“Wherever you go, we go. No matter how difficult or far it is, even if it’s the end of the earth, we will follow you.” Iron Tower asserted.

“My journey home might take 200 years, maybe 300 years…”

“Even if it takes 1000 years or 2000 years, we siblings will still follow you.”

“Whenever you find us annoying, just let us know, and my sister and I will leave,” Iron Tower interjected, interrupting Han Feiyu.

He knew his sister’s personality. Once she set her heart on someone, she wouldn’t give up. As the elder brother, it was only right to support her.

According to Iron Tower’s thinking, with time, affinity would grow. If there was no affection, it indicated that they had not spent enough time together.

“Eldest brother, thank you for following me,” Han Feiyu expressed his gratitude. The journey was indeed long and he did need companionship.

It says in the Sect’s manual, if embarking on a long journey, forming a team is the best choice. The prerequisite is that those teaming up with you are willing to share joy and sorrow.

He had contemplated staying in Immortal City to cultivate until his level increased before returning to the sect. However, recent events made him realize that without a powerful backing, nowhere was safe.

Therefore, he particularly missed the days back in his sect, except for the occasional fear that his Jade Gourd’s extraordinary fortune would be discovered by others, those were the most enjoyable and comfortable days he’d ever had.

“What are you talking about? We are family,” Iron Tower responded with a hearty laugh.

At this moment, Iron Blue brought out another dish: stir-fried spiritual lettuce.

“This is the last dish.”

“What were you guys chatting about just now? You seemed really happy,” asked Iron Blue.

“Brother Han was sharing some of his fun stories from his time at the sect,” Iron Tower replied with a smile.

“Brother Xu, can you tell me about it? I rarely hear you talk about the old times in the Sect.” Iron Blue curiously said, she wanted to know the stories of her beloved person in the past.

“In the Sect, I have a good brother named Sword Wuji, we used to be…”

Having nothing to do, Han Feiyu began to talk about the amusing incidents in the Sect in the past.

…

At the Hidden Spirit Sect, Xu Fan let his temporary avatar replace him in refining the Railgun, and his real body began to slack off.

He found that the temporary avatar was becoming more and more useful, so he took the time of artifact refining to strengthen the Avatar Divine Ability.

Now when he sends out temporary avatars, he can slack off for half a month.

By the Sky Blue Spirit Liquid Lake, Xu Fan was having a heart-to-heart talk with a dragon egg.

“Don’t be comparing the hardness of your eggshell with other dragon eggs. What if you break it?” Xu Fan patiently instructed the dragon egg who had made an oath with him.

This dragon egg, standing in front of Xu Fan, stubbornly hopped twice, crushing its hard stone base to make a small pit, proving its toughness.

“Then what do you do if you accidentally break another dragon egg?” Xu Fan said again.

At this moment, the dragon egg bounced and dove right into the Sky Blue Spirit Liquid Lake.

Then another green-skinned dragon egg enjoying its time in the Spirit Liquid Lake was knocked into the air and fell heavily in front of Xu Fan.

It enlarged the small pit made earlier one more time.

“Is this the result of your teaching? Why are you so argumentative?” Xu Fan frowned and looked at the Tianji Turtle.

“Hmm~” The Tianji Turtle looked up at Xu Fan.

“How is this a good thing? Just causing me trouble, not at all behaved like a good baby.” Xu Fan scolded.

Then the Tianji Turtle looked at Xu Fan like he was an idiot.

“Hmm (Why would you treat a spiritual beast with a True Dragon lineage like a good baby?)”

The call of Tianji Turtle contained a bit of perplexity. Although it didn’t like moving, it understood that the more an infant spiritual beast moved around, the better it was for them.

“What am I even trying to compete with you about?” Xu Fan laughed at his own behavior.

“I will have someone specially supervise this dragon egg. You just come to tell stories.” Xu Fan said.

He felt that if this Tianji Turtle kept training these eggs, they would be ruined.

“Hmm (I don’t even want to be in charge, I can rest more in the future.)”

The Tianji Turtle said lazily and began to walk towards the Spirit Liquid Lake.

“Pu Tao, assign a puppet to specifically educate these dragon eggs for their all-round development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor skills.” Xu Fan instructed.

“Yes, Master.” Pu Tao’s voice responded.

Looking at the six dragon eggs playing in the Spirit Liquid Lake, Xu Fan gently beckoned, and the six dragon eggs were mysteriously pulled by a force and all came in front of him.

“Alright, today I’ll tell you a story~” Xu Fan spoke kindly and amiably.

The six dragon eggs jumped in succession to express their satisfaction.

Finally, Xu Fan began to educate them by telling stories about how to be a good child and how to be able to reassure their parents.

After Xu Fan’s series of efforts, these six dragon eggs finally understood the difference between good and bad children, then they began to happily be the bad kids again.
