Chapter 9 Yu Yuanzhen as a Father
[The video continues...]
Although the woman hadn't finished speaking, how could Yu Yuanzhen not understand her meaning? He looked at Yu Xiaogang with heartache and reached out to touch his poor child.
[His palm touched Yu Xiaogang's soft little hand in the swaddling clothes. Yu Yuanzhen pondered for a moment, then finally instructed the woman to take good care of his son.]
Afterwards, Yu Yuanzhen quickly arranged the sect's affairs, distributing his duties as sect leader among the elders.
Having accomplished all this, Yu Yuanzhen personally led Yu Xiaogang away from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to seek medical help throughout the Douluo Continent, hoping to cure his son's condition.
After searching through countless people, Yu Yuanzhen finally found an answer in the Ye family, who inherited the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul.
"This child possesses astonishing spiritual strength, but unfortunately, his brain is not mature enough to handle it, which is why he is in this state."
"Go back and rest well. If you can regain your senses and awaken a spiritual martial soul, your future achievements will likely be extraordinary."
"However, Sect Master Yu, you'd better not have too high hopes. After all, it's extremely difficult to regain your senses in this situation..."
The words of the Ye family patriarch made Yu Yuanzhen's face turn ugly.
He thanked the Ye family patriarch and then led everyone back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
[After informing the elders of the Ye family patriarch's diagnosis, they immediately considered giving up on Yu Xiaogang.]
Even some elders advised Yu Yuanzhen to send Yu Xiaogang away from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan while his relationship with Yu Xiaogang was still relatively close. They suggested that if they were far away and couldn't see each other, he wouldn't be bothered by it.
The dark world, Spirit Hall.
"Hmph, how snobbish! The elders of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were all smiles at first because Xiao Gang was the son of a Title Douluo, but their attitudes changed immediately once they realized Xiao Gang's talent was lacking after his martial soul awakened."
"In parallel worlds, it's even more direct; they immediately send away Xiaogang's counterpart."
"With a bunch of insects like you around, it's no wonder Xiaogang's life is so miserable!"
Bibi Dong looked at the faces of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan elders with disgust. If she had the chance, she would not let any of these old guys go.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"This approach is in line with the practices of large families."
Ning Fengzhi's expression was inscrutable.
As the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he had seen this kind of thing many times, and he made no comment on whether this approach was right or wrong.
But considering Yu Xiaogang's future...
"Perhaps we'll see the old dragon weeping with regret?"
Bone Douluo Gu Rong laughed heartily and said with an expectant look on his face.
[The video continues...]
However, to everyone's surprise, Yu Yuanzhen rejected the elders' proposal.
"Xiaogang is my son, no matter what his situation is. He's staying with me, and it won't be difficult for me to arrange for someone to take care of him."
"So, let's not bring up the matter of sending him away again."
With a wave of his hand, Yu Yuanzhen decided Yu Xiaogang's fate.
Unbeknownst to everyone present, a glimmer of inspiration flashed in Yu Xiaogang's seemingly blank eyes.
[Then, as time passed, Yu Xiaogang gradually grew up.]
He still hadn't regained his senses, appearing dazed and confused. He often sat alone by the flowerbed outside his house, staring blankly at the distant scenery.
At times like these, a warm, large hand would always cover Yu Xiaogang's head, the firm palm bringing him immense peace of mind.
The owner of the hand was naturally Yu Xiaogang's father, Yu Yuanzhen. Although his son had some problems, he never looked down on Yu Xiaogang.
After finishing his daily cultivation and handling family affairs, he would often take time to visit Yu Xiaogang and tell him about the Douluo Continent.
[It could be some interesting stories, some essential knowledge, or simply a recounting of recent events.]
His voice was steady and slow, as if he were afraid that if he spoke too fast, Yu Xiaogang wouldn't understand.
[Daily routine, without fail.]
White World, Spirit Hall.
"Father..."
As Bibi Dong watched the scene of Yu Yuanzhen accompanying Yu Xiaogang, her nose suddenly felt a little sore.
At that time, Yu Yuanzhen had no idea that Yu Xiaogang would regain his senses in the future, nor did he know that Yu Xiaogang would become a Title Douluo.
Therefore, his kindness towards Yu Xiaogang was purely the kindness of a father towards his son.
Even ordinary families might not be like this, let alone Yu Yuanzhen, who is a Title Douluo standing at the very top of the Douluo Continent.
Yu Yuanzhen truly deserves the title of a good father.
That's why I never want to disappoint my father.
Yu Xiaogang said softly.
At that time, although I was still in a dazed and confused state, I was actually aware of everything in the outside world.
I just couldn't control my body properly.
Yu Xiaogang could clearly feel Yu Yuanzhen's companionship and how much Yu Yuanzhen cared about him.
This kind of love from his father was something Yu Xiaogang had never experienced before.
Before being reincarnated, Yu Xiaogang was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage and never experienced parental love.
After being reincarnated, with his adult memories from Earth, he should have found everything about the Douluo Continent difficult to accept.
But Yu Yuanzhen's care truly allowed him to find his own anchor in the Douluo Continent.
Yu Xiaogang understood that he was no longer alone as he had been in his previous life.
He had a father who would never abandon him, even if he was mentally challenged.
The dark world, Shrek Academy.
Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang stared blankly at Yu Yuanzhen, whose face was full of gentleness in the sky.
How long has it been since he last saw a father like this?
He still remembered how caring his father was towards him before he awakened his martial soul.
At that time, however, he was still the highly anticipated young sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Everyone was trying to please him, so at that time, he felt that everything was taken for granted.
But a martial soul awakening caused him to lose everything.
After that, did his father still look at him with that kind of gaze?
Yu Xiaogang searched through his memories, only to find that he had never cared about the expression on his father's face.
When did that proud expression on his face disappear?
When did this look of self-loathing appear on his face?
He never cared about any of this.
[The video continues...]
With Yu Yuanzhen's constant companionship, Yu Xiaogang has grown to over five years old, less than a year away from his martial soul awakening.
However, even now, Yu Xiaogang still retains that dull and foolish appearance. Countless people have mocked Yu Yuanzhen because of Yu Xiaogang, ridiculing him for having a fool as a Title Douluo.
Yu Yuanzhen ignored the mockery, focusing only on his own affairs as if the laughter had never existed.
On this day, Yu Yuanzhen, as usual, recounted recent events to Yu Xiaogang.
Just as Yu Yuanzhen was recounting the story of the two geniuses from the Clear Sky Sect...
[Sudden.]
["Father..."]
A childlike yet clear voice rang in his ears, and for a moment, Yu Yuanzhen froze.
He glanced instinctively to his side and realized that his son, whom he had known for years and whose eyes had always been blank, now had bright and lively eyes.
