Chapter 790 Going Home (3)
A woman in a pale yellow dress sat under the eaves, playing chess with herself. A large black dog squatted beside her, sleeping quietly without saying a word.
Xiong Bufan parked the car to the side, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Daoist Su."
Master Su extended his hand, "Sit."
Xiong Bufan sat awkwardly across the chessboard, a little nervous, but dared not show it.
The paper figure poured Xiong Bufan a cup of hot tea, and Kongkong, clutching the small ginseng, ran to Master Su's side.
Master Su: "Do you know how to play chess?"
"will not."
Master Su raised his eyes slightly and hugged Kongkong in his arms, "How did you feel about your trip?"
"Everything is fine."
Master Su smiled slightly when he heard Xiong Bufan speak, "Don't be nervous."
"it is good."
Master Su was a contemporary of the Old Ancestor. After the Old Ancestor passed away, Master Su cultivated to the Heavenly Dao, becoming the figure Xiong Bufan worshipped in his dreams.
Moreover, during the years Xiong Bufan was away, he would occasionally seek help from Master Su.
Xiong Bufan paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "Master Su, I brought you many things after returning from the small world. Please take a look." As he spoke, he took out his storage bag.
Master Su: "Extraordinary, no need to be nervous."
"it is good."
Xiong Bufan sat obediently opposite, pretending to be a rag doll. She was always very well-behaved in front of her elders.
Master Su: "You can contact me if you need anything in the future."
"it is good."
Master Su was still very willing to mentor this talented young man.
The man and the bear fell silent again. Master Su hadn't chatted with the younger generation in a long time, and now he didn't know how to communicate with them.
“Bufan, your cultivation method is different from others. Don’t be obsessed with taking human form.”
"Yes."
"If there's nothing else, you can go back now."
Xiong Bufan stood up. "Master Su, goodbye."
"See you."
Kongkong took out a small storage ring and handed it to Daoist Su, saying, "Thank you for your help. This is just a small token of my appreciation."
"You're welcome, go back now."
"Yes."
Xiong Bufan still felt a sense of tension when he left Master Su's residence.
The two little ginsengs didn't dare to speak and just stayed quietly.
"Kongkong, how much time do we have left?"
Kongkong countered Xiong Bufan's question, "Bufan, how long do you plan to stay?"
"I'll spend some time with my parents, then I'll continue with my missions. I also need to visit my friends."
"it is good."
As soon as Xiong Bufan entered the door, Xiong's mother asked Master Su what was going on. Xiong Bufan could only honestly reply, "Master Su seems quite happy."
"As long as you're happy, Bufan, what do you want to eat? Mom will get it for you."
Xiong Bufan smacked his lips. "I don't want anything to eat. I'm going back to sleep."
"Go."
Kongkong led the two little ginseng spirits on a spree through the city. Since there are also plant spirits in the mountains, the two little ginseng spirits shouldn't be too lonely.
Xiong Bufan lay on his stone bed, which was cold in both winter and summer. No matter how he lay, he felt uncomfortable. He could only find some dry grass to put under him, turn over, and flatten the grass into a cake.
Now that he's home and no longer has to travel, Xiong Bufan feels a little out of sorts.
Kongkong untied the red rope from the little ginseng spirits and let them run freely.
Before anyone could react, the two little ginseng spirits vanished.
Kongkong was momentarily stunned before realizing that the two little demons were trying to escape.
After the adults and children burrowed into the ground, they ran around without looking back, vowing never to return to the space.
As demons, what they yearn for most is freedom.
Suddenly, a transparent barrier appeared in front of them, and the adults and children who bumped into it were bounced away.
The adults quickly ran along the screen; being ginseng that had cultivated for thousands of years, their escape skills were always top-notch.
Kongkong squatted on the ground, slowly licking its paws and fur, basking in the sun, seemingly unconcerned about the escape of the two little ginseng spirits.
Adults and children ran along the barrier, feeling a sense of familiarity with the place, but they dared not stop, only keep running.
"We must have escaped by now."
The little man chimed in, "You escaped, didn't you? You know we can run hundreds of meters in a second."
"Yeah, the bad cat definitely can't catch it."
The little man slowly emerged from the ground, saying, "I'm a little reluctant to part with the bear."
The adult waved his hand dismissively and said, "We should be happy that we are free."
Kongkong: "Congratulations!"
Adults and children: "We're happy together!"
No, something's not right. Shouldn't it just be the two of them participating?
Adults and children alike turned around in terror, only to find Kong Kong watching them from behind. This was truly terrifying.
Kongkong: "Do you really want to leave?"
Adult: "Do you want to hear the truth?"
Why would I ask you if it weren't the truth?
The little man said, "I want to leave. There's no freedom in this space, no one to play with us. We want to stay here."
Kongkong knew he couldn't stop them, and he didn't want to cook them, so he calmly said, "Let's go, let's go, before I regret it."
"Thank you."
The adults and children burrowed back into the soil and left without a second thought, only to find themselves facing the familiar barrier again after walking a short distance.
Kongkong wandered back to Xiong Bufan's residence. There were some things she needed to discuss with Xiong Bufan; the two little ginseng spirits couldn't be easily sent away.
"Bufan, do you think we should send them away?"
Xiong Bufan sat on the bed, yawning. "Let them leave if they want, as long as they don't get eaten by other demons."
"it is good."
Kongkong really didn't expect Xiong Bufan to be so generous, letting go of the ginseng spirit that had been with them for so long.
Xiong Bufan advised Kongkong: "These two ginseng spirits are useless. They should live in the mountains. This space is really not suitable for them."
"Oh."
Kongkong quietly withdrew the barrier that had been holding the two little ginseng spirits, and let them go.
Back home, Xiong Bufan became even kinder.
Actually, Kongkong still wanted to put the two little ginseng spirits in the pot again and cook them into a soup before releasing them.
Once the barrier was gone, the adults and children realized they had been restrained and ran even faster.
Xiong Bufan lay on the bed, feeling drowsy again. He felt that there was nothing to do at home, so he wanted to go to sleep.
Kongkong: "Bufan, aren't you going out to play?"
"Don't go."
A voice called from outside, "Daughter, come fishing with your dad."
Xiong Bufan had the right to remain silent, but considering that they hadn't seen each other for over five hundred years, and that their father-daughter relationship needed to be strengthened, he said, "Wait, I'll go right away."
Bear Dad, holding a fishing rod and a small wooden bucket, said, "Daughter, I'm going to show you my skills today and catch a big fish to open your eyes."
Xiong Bufan took the small fishing rod given to him by his father and said, "Okay."
Standing at the door, Mama Bear instructed, "Come back for dinner early. Don't let the rabbit demon come looking for you again. It's expensive to see the rabbit demon every time."
"Okay, got it."
