Chapter 57: Earth

Translated by Kollumceti of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

A soul-stirring blue. Even watching from a distance made it impossible to move one's gaze away. It was only when Jin Qian, Shan BaiLu, and numerous beasts had unconsciously walked over and wanted to touch it did they realize that this beautiful planet was not material. It was merely an illusion.

Jin Qian looked at his empty hands and could not help laughing at himself. For him to be so impulsive even with his usual personality, it was obvious that the appearance of the planet shocked him too much. In fact, as long as one used their brain to think, they would be able to realize that even if the real Planet Earth appeared, it would not be inside a shop. There were too many differences even when based on size alone.

However, Jin Qian was still full of uncertainty other than understanding this point. He could determine that the image before his eyes was an illusion, but he could not determine why it appeared in this place. Furthermore, was JinYu's abnormal reaction related to the appearance of the phantasm?

One thing Jin Qian could be sure of was that he would definitely strike up a good relationship with that fish of unknown origin even if he had to pester him in the future after seeing this incident for himself today. It would be better if he could instigate his old man to recognize this fish as a grandson or something. Based off his intuition, this would certainly bring considerable benefits to the Jin Family.

“Oh… But that fish is too slippery and has sharp teeth. It's not easy to reel in…” Jin Qian muttered to himself as he soaked in the water. If it weren't for the livid look on that Young Master from the Qilin Family that gave Jin Qian a feeling that he should not be provoked, Jin Qian would have done everything he could to get his big sis to fish up the whale. En, in fact, he could go do it himself too, but that fish probably had an owner. Moreover…

Great Doctor Jin glanced at the Third Young Master beside him, whose eyes were lifeless and full of incredulity. Suddenly, he laughed and stretched out his hand to pinched Shan BaiLu's face. “Wake up. Go shut the door to the house and the shop.”

Shan BaiLu had been pinched so much that he was about to fly into a rage, but when he heard Jin Qian's words, he also felt that it was necessary. Thus, he immediately entered the water and swam until he reached the door before fiercely slamming it closed. Then he stared at Jin Qian in consternation after closing the door. Perhaps he felt that the gaze and expressions of a certain unprincipled doctor was too strange, so Third Young Master Shan grabbed the shoddy little wolf and hugged it, treating it as a shield. The roomful of beasts who had witnessed this let out all kinds of sneers.

Although the beasts and the two people in the house were baffled, they could only patiently wait and soak in the water. As luck would have it, they did not feel any discomfort even though they were surrounded by the light blue water.

At this moment, the situation with JinYu and Qi QingLin was completely different from that of the two people and beasts in the house. JinYu and Qi QingLin were so shocked by the scene in front of them that they were completely unable to speak. JinYu felt that he had lived through the last days and had enjoyed such an unusual time travel experience that he could calmly proclaim himself as Emperor. Qi QingLin felt that he had had the experience of being a beast and had partic.i.p.ated in power struggles, and was accustomed to great storms. But, they were still shaken and could not even p.r.o.nounce a syllable before the scenery in front of them.

“…How. Is this… possible…”

After a long time, JinYu hoa.r.s.ely whispered these four words so softly that he couldn't even hear his own voice.

He was standing in front of an immense light blue planet. This planet was his home town that he had seen countless times and lived on for twenty years. He had been incessantly and ceaselessly longing for it from the time he arrived in this different world. Even though it was riddled with a thousand wounds when he had left, this could not reduce his cherishment and respect for it in the slightest.

But now that JinYu was standing in front of it again, he completely did not know how to describe his feelings.

While JinYu was staring at the familiar and strange planet in a daze, Qi QingLin slowly recovered from his initial shock. For those born and raised on the Capital Star like Jin Qian, this planet in front of them was just like the mother planet of human beings called ‘Earth', which they admired and loved from childhood. Whether it was its color or its gorges, Qi QingLin practically could draw out an identical image in his heart when he closed his eyes.

Qi QingLin was stunned when his longing was inadvertently realized. Even so, Qi QingLin's shock was not been as great as JinYu's. His feelings for this planet were only the yearning and desire to return from his human blood. No matter what, they had been away from their mother star for too long, and the deep-seated yearning had gradually faded as the generations pa.s.sed. Only when one saw it with their own eyes could they feel the shock and the true yearning.

But for JinYu, this planet before him was his hometown where he once lived. He deeply understood the process of its thousands of years from immaturity to maturity, from barrenness to vibrantness. He personally witnessed its flourishing and experienced its prosperity; in the end, he had also experienced its collapse and despaired in its madness.

JinYu had the idea of perishing together with it, but discovered he had departed when he opened his eyes again. With such a resolution, it had engraved a deep and unfathomable scar in JinYu's heart called the ‘yearning for home' even if he survived by chance. He had thought that he would carry this scar to the grave. Contrary to his expectations, there was a possibility of healing it.

Gradually, Jin Yu looked at the Earth in front of him and started laughing. The laughter changed from soft to loud, from scattered to frantic. In the end, he laughed till his eyes were full of tears.

“I'm back. How have you been?” After he gently murmured out this sentence, JinYu felt a tightness on his waist. Then he fell back onto a solid chest.
