"Knock, knock, knock."
As noon approached, the door of the funeral parlor was tightly shut. Outside, a young man with a backpack gently knocked on the roller shutter door.
"Who is it?" an impatient voice came from inside, followed by a gap opening at the bottom of the roller shutter, and an alligator head poking out.
Ba Yu Fang's eyes widened, staring at the man in front of him in disbelief.
He… he… Fang Ming!
"Hi~" Fang Ming greeted Ba Yu Fang with a smile.
"Oh my god! It's a zombie!" Ba Yu Fang shrieked and quickly retracted his head.
Then he heard his excited shouts: "Big Sis! Big Sis! Fang Ming is back! Come out quickly!"
Before he finished speaking, several figures rushed out from the backyard.
"What did you say? Fang Ming is back? Where?" Fang Dao Long hurriedly asked.
"Where is Fang Ming? Where is he?" the two Nannan girls asked excitedly.
"Outside the door!"
"Whoosh—" The roller shutter door was suddenly pulled open, and a man's figure appeared before everyone.
"I'm back."
Fang Ming looked at them and smiled.
The two Nannan girls were so happy they cried and simultaneously pounced, hugging Fang Ming tightly.
"Am I dreaming? Fang Ming, you're finally back."
This aura was definitely Fang Ming, they would never forget it in their lives!
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back," Zheng Zhu Liu said with a chuckle, then called to Fang's mother, "Quickly prepare an extra set of bowls and chopsticks, and cook more dishes."
Fang's mother glared at Fang Dao Long and reluctantly turned to leave. Although she wasn't Fang Ming's biological mother, she also wanted to have a few words with Fang Ming.
Fang Ming patted the heads of the two Nannan girls and said, "Let's go inside first."
The group passed through the shop and entered the backyard. Ba Yu Fang wisely conjured several stone stools, allowing them to sit opposite each other.
After they were seated, Fang Dao Long was the first to inquire about Fang Ming's situation.
"Fang Ming, what happened these past few years? You and Chang Sheng…"
Fang Ming organized his thoughts slightly, and the two Nannan girls also looked at Fang Ming with curious eyes.
They also wanted to know where Fang Ming had been all these years.
After Fang Ming and Chang Sheng left the ancient tower, they disappeared without a trace. Later, the Nannan girls sensed Fang Ming's death, but they never expected Fang Ming to reappear before them today!
They felt as if they were dreaming.
"The story is quite complicated," Fang Ming said. "Back then, Chang Sheng and I…"
Fang Ming told them what had happened that year.
"So, you really died once?" Shan Mian Nannan asked obediently.
Fang Ming nodded. "That's right, your perceptions back then were not wrong. Chang Sheng and I did die, or rather, we didn't die, but lost ourselves and merged into the original Chang Sheng."
"In this way, Chang Sheng and I both became half the memories of the first generation Chang Sheng, forming a new Yuan Sha."
"Then what's going on with you now?" Fang Dao Long asked curiously.
Fang Ming smiled helplessly. "You might not believe it, but the first generation Chang Sheng later unified all the subordinate worlds and became a truly unique realm, invincible in the world."
"Then two years passed like this, and he felt too bored, so he separated himself again. Chang Sheng and I were then revived under these circumstances."
Fang Dao Long: "…"
He was too invincible, so he chose to commit suicide?
This reason made Fang Dao Long and the two Nannan girls exchange glances.
"It's not that simple, is it?" Fang Dao Long asked. Based on his years of experience, he didn't believe the first generation Chang Sheng would actually do something equivalent to suicide.
"Haha, actually, that's just one of the reasons."
Fang Ming smiled. "In fact, the main reason is that although Chang Sheng and I became his memories, we essentially had our own lives, and we were completely opposite. This led to the first generation Chang Sheng being bothered by memories later on."
"In the end, he simply separated himself again, with the agreement that if there were any crises in the future, Chang Sheng and I would merge again, allowing him to appear."
So that's how it is!
Now that the first generation Chang Sheng had solved this trouble, he could also rest in peace.
After that, Fang Dao Long and Fang Ming chatted about the current situation. Upon hearing that the whole world was searching for Yuan Sha, trying to crack Chang Sheng's secret, Fang Ming couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.
It was unlikely that humans could achieve the longevity of Yuan Sha through technology.
However, he wasn't worried about that, as long as no one dared to come and capture him.
"Dinner is ready!" Fang's mother called from the kitchen.
"Coming, coming."
The group entered the kitchen and brought the food to the dining table. Fang Dao Long and Fang's mother sat on one side, while Fang Ming and the two Nannan girls sat on the other.
"Fang Ming, eat this," E Mian Nannan said with a smile, putting a chicken leg on Fang Ming's plate.
"This is also delicious," Shan Mian Nannan said, not to be outdone, and gave Fang Ming a piece of fish.
"This is the most delicious," E Mian Nannan glared at Shan Mian Nannan and added another piece of meat to Fang Ming's plate.
"Hmph! Eating only meat is bad for your health. Fang Ming, eat vegetables," Shan Mian Nannan put a piece of cabbage on Fang Ming's plate.
The two bickered back and forth, and soon Fang Ming's rice bowl was piled high.
Fang Ming: "…" Weren't you guys friendly just now? Why did you change when you got to the table?!
Fang Dao Long and Fang's mother watched this scene with smiles.
Fang Dao Long said, "Well, Fang Ming, you're already over thirty. How about… considering settling down?"
"Ah?"
"What do you mean 'ah'? Even though you've achieved longevity, you're not young anymore. Your mother and I want to hold our grandchildren soon," Fang Dao Long said displeased.
"This… this… the key is that I don't have a partner."
"Aren't these two your partners?" Fang Dao Long nudged his chin towards the two Nannan girls.
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the two Nannan girls lit up, and they looked at Fang Ming expectantly.
They had lived in human society with the elders for ten years and naturally knew what settling down meant.
"Nannan girls?" Fang Ming looked at the two Nannan girls and hesitated, "They're so young, isn't that not good?"
After all, the Nannan girls looked like they were only seven or eight years old. Fang Ming couldn't bring himself to do it! Wasn't that beastly?
"Who says we're young?" the two Nannan girls retorted in unison, instantly transforming into their second stage. Two identical aloof goddesses, one on each side, hugged Fang Ming's arms, and the soft flesh pressed against him, almost making Fang Ming flee.
"Not young, not young," Fang Ming quickly relented.
"It's settled then. Pick an auspicious date, and you choose one to get married," Fang Dao Long said with a decisive bang.
"Ah? One?" Fang Ming hesitated, "Can I… can I have them all?"
"Have them all?" Fang Dao Long frowned, then relaxed. "You brat, tsk tsk tsk, approved. As long as they don't have any objections, we old folks naturally won't."
"Nannan girls, how do you feel? We'll get married at the same time," Fang Ming asked cautiously.
"Then I'll reluctantly share Fang Ming with her, since I'm the older sister," E Mian Nannan teased.
"Pah, I'm the older sister, I should be the one to indulge you!" Shan Mian Nannan disagreed and immediately retorted.
"I am! I separated out first!" E Mian Nannan argued.
"You're talking nonsense, I separated out first!"
…
Eighteenth Floor.
"Fang Ming is back, and he's getting married to Big Sister Nannan soon." Number One handed a wedding invitation to Qing Mian, who was lying on a stone bed with runes flashing around him.
Upon hearing this, Qing Mian sat up and took the invitation.
"I knew he wouldn't be in trouble," Qing Mian murmured.
Chang Sheng Realm.
Chang Sheng fiddled with the red invitation in his hand, sitting on the Black Tiger Yuan Sha, and looked with a smile in the direction of Fang Ming in the real world.
"It seems I won't be absent from this wedding. Announce it, all Xu Sha level Yuan Sha in the Chang Sheng Realm will arrive in the real world on November 27th to congratulate Fang Ming at his wedding!"
In the realm within a realm, the school.
"Your Teacher Fang is getting married soon. Does anyone have any gifts they'd like to give him? I'll go on your behalf to deliver it."
The principal stood on the playground, surrounded by students.
"Yes!" Zhang Jun from Class 2-1 stood up and raised his hand. "Principal Grandpa, we've prepared a pen, and we'd like to give it to Teacher Fang."
Real World, November 27th, an auspicious day, suitable for weddings.
"Bow to heaven and earth!"
"Bow to the elders!"
"Bow to each other as husband and wife!"
…
"Congratulations, congratulations." Mayor Huang was the first to arrive with a large group of city officials to offer his regards.
"Congratulations to you too, please come in and sit," Fang Dao Long and Fang Ming stood at the hotel entrance to receive guests.
Mayor Huang, along with Liu Chen and several other officials, walked towards a blank table.
"How is it? Can you detect Fang Ming's strength?" Mayor Huang asked in a low voice.
Liu Chen quietly raised the instrument in his hand, which displayed "one hundred million."
"So strong?" Mayor Huang was shocked.
"More than that," Liu Chen whispered with a trembling heart. "This is the limit the instrument can test."
Just as they sat down, a group of people in ancient costumes walked in, led by a very refined-looking young man.
As a Yuan Sha, Liu Chen naturally sensed the true nature of these "people." He curiously tested them with the instrument, but the result showed "one hundred million" no matter which one he pointed it at!
"Gulp." Liu Chen didn't believe the instrument was wrong and secretly swallowed, then turned his head away, not daring to look at them again.
Each of these Yuan Sha had the ability to destroy H City with ease!
Meanwhile, outside the restaurant, after sending Chang Sheng and the others in, another acquaintance walked over.
"I can't believe your son is already getting married. It's truly infuriating," the principal walked up to Fang Dao Long and pretended to be jealous.
"Hahaha, it's useless for you to be jealous," Fang Dao Long boasted.
"You brat," the principal chuckled and shook his head, then looked at Fang Ming.
"Congratulations on your wedding!" The principal examined Fang Ming and nodded with satisfaction, then took out a box from his pocket and handed it over.
"What is this?" Fang Ming took it with confusion, it felt familiar.
"This is the gift from Zhang Jun and the others," the principal said.
"Zhang Jun…" Memories welled up in Fang Ming's eyes, and he suddenly remembered why this box was so familiar.
This was the gift Zhang Jun and the others had given him back then! He never expected the principal to manifest it from the realm within a realm into reality!
…
A few days later.
A young man with two little lolis appeared on a scenic beach in Lin Hai.
"For our honeymoon, we'll just play by the sea. Pick whatever you want to eat or do!" the young man said with a laugh.
Immediately, people around cast curious glances. However, upon seeing that the young man was only accompanied by two underage lolis, their expressions changed, and some even secretly called the police.
"Hello? Uncle Police? There's a pervert here!"
