149: Chapter 149 They Came to Our Door

"It seems I have to go back. Could you..."

Perhaps because his development had not been smooth, Elder Fang Huaian was not as emotionally indifferent to his children as other deities.

Therefore, the moment he received his granddaughter's message, he planned to return. At the very least, he had to rescue his child and granddaughter.

However, he also knew that since that old bastard Fang Yuanming had already cast aside all shame, it would likely be difficult for him to bring them out alone.

Thus, he had no choice but to seek help from Fang Yuan, his Junior. Although the latter was only at the demigod level, he was ultimately one of Lord Lin's men.

With Lord Lin's current reputation and prestige in Anping County, no matter how unwilling that old fellow Fang Yuanming was, he would still have to show some Face.

For such a matter, Fang Yuan naturally did not dare to make a decision on his own, so he immediately sought instructions from Lin Xiao.

For such a trivial matter, Lin Xiao naturally would not stop him.

"In the future, you don't need to ask me about such trivial matters. After all, you are all demigods now, and you will become deities, Intermediate Gods, or even higher in the future.

There is no need to come and ask me about ordinary matters. You must have your own opinions."

Even the county magistrate and a portion of the Divine Guards were already his own people. On this small patch of land in Anping County, Lin Xiao did not think he needed to worry about anyone.

With Lin Xiao's backing, Fang Yuan immediately became excited. Not only did he gather his newly recruited Subordinate Deities, but he also sent messages to Hu Rong and the other demigods.

"Something has happened in Elder Fang Huaian's Family. Does everyone want to go to our Fang Family together? It's the perfect opportunity to open the eyes of those Elders who have been slandering us!"

Having been constantly excluded by the Family's Elders and the Family head, Fang Yuan and the others' progress in recruiting Subordinate Deities had not been very smooth.

It had even caused friction between them and their parents. They could take this opportunity to show those Elders exactly what Realm they were in now!

Although their network certifications had been updated after their promotion, they had unfortunately been kicked out of the Family chat group to draw a clear line.

Even the smaller group for the younger generation had purged them. They had originally wanted to hold their heads high after their promotion, but in the end, no one had even noticed?

This had left them feeling incredibly frustrated. Now that they had the chance, everyone naturally didn't want to miss out.

In a short while, except for Su Xue, who was on duty today and couldn't make it, the group of demigods, including Wang Tao, gathered outside with their Subordinate Deities.

To be safe, Lin Xiao also thoughtfully arranged for Meng Ning, who was already second-order, and ten First-order Deities to accompany these demigod subordinates.

In case the Fang Family really went crazy, with Meng Ning and the others there, they could at least bring them back safely.

Hundreds of people majestically steered the flying vessel toward the Fang Family.

"What do you think the Fang Family's Elders will react when they find out about our Realm?"

"How else could they react? They will definitely find ways to slander us. For example, saying our Realm is unstable, that we've overdrawn our potential, that we're ruined for the future, and so on. In any case, they won't acknowledge us."

"It doesn't matter. I don't need their acknowledgment anymore. Going back this time is just to let the news reach the Family side, hoping to change my parents' minds sooner.

Otherwise, by the time we graduate and go to university, who knows what the situation will be like in four years. I don't want my parents to be left behind..."

Most of them had talents that reached the passing line of Grade C, and a few like Fang Yuan and Hu Rong had even reached Grade B.

Additionally, because they were temporarily the only children in their families, they had not suffered much since childhood, so they naturally harbored no resentment toward their parents.

Although the Subordinate Deities they recruited now were members of their clan, in terms of relationship, they were naturally not as close as their parents.

Knowing that their future was bright, they naturally hoped their parents could join them.

Meng Ning and the other deities had no interest in joining the discussions of these youngsters. At this moment, they were also chatting in their own small group.

"By tomorrow at the latest, our classmates will arrive one after another. My parents have finally agreed to come over as well. It was worth all my constant persuasion."

"Good for you. My parents, on the other hand, keep telling me not to worry about them. They refuse to come no matter what, fearing they'll drag me down.

The resources I transferred to them, they clearly couldn't bear to use. To this day, they are still certified as Divine Beings. At the very least, they should promote to demigods first to change their life essence.

I've told them dozens of times. They keep saying they are using them, but their certification hasn't budged at all. I'm even thinking of asking Lord Lin for some leave...

...and going back to my hometown to just tie the two Elders up and bring them here..."

"My situation is about the same. The divine power points I earned before, except for the basic maintenance of my divine kingdom, have all been transferred back.

It's been over two years. If they really used those resources properly, even with the worst Aptitude, they should have made a Breakthrough to demigod...

I didn't feel it as much before, but now I'm terrified that something might happen to them if they aren't careful. After all, Divine Beings are still too fragile; they can even starve to death if they don't eat.

Anyway, I've made up my mind. As soon as our classmates arrive, I'll arrange for someone to go back to my hometown. Even if I have to tie them up, I will bring them here.

Lest some accident really happens, and I end up regretting it for the rest of my life."

"Holy crap! You guys really thought this through. When the time comes, I'll also have a classmate make a trip back to my hometown. No matter what, I'll tie my parents up and bring them here!"

Although Divine Beings had experienced the Awakening of their divine kingdoms, in the end, they were still ordinary people who hadn't changed at all. They could get hurt, bleed, and could even be killed by ordinary people if they weren't careful.

Before, everyone's circumstances were poor, so if their parents were unwilling, they couldn't force them.

But now, not only were their circumstances great, but their divine power points and resources were also so abundant that they couldn't even spend them all. Yet, their parents still seemed reluctant to part with anything.

Without even promoting to demigods, how could they not be anxious?

Amidst their casual chatter, the flying vessel soon landed in the villa district where the Fang Family was located. Although it was called a villa district, its land area was as large as an entire city.

Rays of light occasionally flashed across the dozen-meter-high city walls, and a light blue Formation barrier blocked the flying vessel outside the city.

Originally, wealthy families like the Fang Family did not have this kind of city wall, but ever since experiencing the previous undead disaster...

...every Family spared no expense in spending massive amounts of resources to build such a towering and sturdy city wall outside their territories.

The demigod guard captain guarding the entrance recognized Elder Fang Huaian at a glance. His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately sent the news back to the Family.

Sensing the vast Divine Power fluctuations from Meng Ning and the other deities, the captain knew that they came with ill intent.

He had also heard some rumors regarding Fang Xuan and his wife.

However, this was simply not something a mere demigod like him could meddle in. Wearing a smile, the captain trotted over to the crowd.

"This Junior greets Elder Fang Huaian. May I ask who these people beside you are..."

"These people are my friends. They have returned with me this time to visit Family. Is there a problem?"

Being stared at by a group of deities, the Aura inadvertently exuded by them made the demigod captain feel suffocated. If he hadn't circulated all his strength to support himself...

...he would probably have been forced to his knees by now.

The captain naturally understood that they were giving him a show of force, which made him secretly complain in his heart.

"This Junior is only performing my duty. Please, Elder, do not make things difficult for a mere gatekeeper like me..."
