Rebirth of the Useless Bastard Son

“Young master, it’s time to eat.” Cheng Qi’s consciousness swept into the room and found that Li Tianyan had finished refining the medicinal pill before pushing the door open and entering.

Li Tianyan put away several red Bone Refining Pills in the pill cauldron and looked up at Cheng Qi, “Did you cook with your mother just now?”

“Yes, my mother asked me for advice on cooking skills,” Cheng Qi said with a smile. Then he saw the medicinal pill in Li Tianyan’s hand and couldn’t help but ask, “Young master, can you cure my father’s injury?”

He had also checked the injuries on his father’s legs just now. The leg bones of both legs were completely shattered. The broken bones had grown into the flesh over the years. Even if he could use the Bone Refining Pill to grow new bones, it still wouldn’t solve the problem.

Li Tianyan nodded and said, “We need to pick out all the broken bones first, and then take the Bone Refining Pill. However, he still has other old injuries that need to be treated with other pills.”

In fact, the most serious injury on Cheng Yi’s body was not his legs, but the rupture of his spinal meridians. If it was not cured, even if his legs recovered, he would still be unable to walk.

“Will deboning be painful?” Cheng Qi frowned, and couldn’t bear to think that his father was injured like this to protect his wife and children.

“No.” How could Li Tianyan fail to understand Cheng Qi’s thoughts? Since Cheng Yi was someone the little shuanger cares about, he would not let others suffer too much.

.

“Tianyan is here, come and sit here.” Mrs. Cheng saw Cheng Qi bringing Li Tianyan and hurriedly greeted him.

Li Tianyan saw that Cheng Yi, his wife, and Cheng Yu were there, and after nodding to a few people, he took his seat with Cheng Qi.

“It’s a rare family reunion today, let’s get started.” Cheng Yi picked up his chopsticks and said to the people at the dinner table.

The couple had been waiting for this reunion dinner for more than ten years. At this time, Cheng Yi, who was sitting in the front seat, had a rosy face and did not look sick at all. The smile lines at the end of Mrs. Cheng’s eyes had not disappeared either.

But it was very hard for Li Tianyan. Cheng Qi kept adding food to him, and today there was also Mrs. Cheng. The bowls and plates in front of Li Tianyan were all piled with meat and vegetables, and he could hardly eat it all. It was hard to refuse such kindness.

“Tianyan, try this jade pastry roll. Xiao Qi taught me how to make it just now. It tastes pretty good.” Mrs. Cheng said and put a piece of green pastry in front of Li Tianyan.

Having heard Cheng Qi talk about their experiences together, knowing that Li Tianyan had protected her child many times over the years, Mrs. Cheng felt grateful and happy. She also feeling fond of her son-in-law.

“Young master, this is the red-mouthed goldfish I made. You should also try it.” Cheng Qi finished speaking and put a piece of meat with no fish bones into Li Tianyan’s bowl.

The other two people at the dinner table looked at their deserted dishes and didn’t know whether to feel disappointed or grateful for a moment.

Li Tianyan ended the lunch with the double care of Cheng Qi and Mrs. Cheng. After finishing the meal, he used his Qi to help digest some of it so that he could stand up.

They could stay there for at most one day, and Li Tianyan didn’t waste time. After lunch, he attended to Cheng Yi’s leg injury first.

Cheng Yi watched as pieces of broken bone, as big as fingernails, were taken out of his own flesh, but he didn’t feel any pain at all. He said with a smile on his face, “Tianyan’s medical skills are really brilliant.”

“Thank you, uncle. It’s quite handy,” Li Tianyan said, having already found the last piece, and he placed his palm on Cheng Yi’s leg. The cut flesh quickly recovered, visible to the naked eye.

Cheng Yi was only a mortal and couldn’t absorb high-level medicinal pills on his own. Li Tianyan watched him take the Bone Refining Pill and the Pulse Refining Pill, then used the wood element’s true spiritual energy to help him dissolve the power of the medicine.

By the time the two of them emerged from the room, it was already past dinner time. Li Tianyan glanced at the sky and felt secretly relieved.

“Brother Yi,” Mrs. Cheng said when she saw Cheng Yi walking out of the house, tears flooding her eyes again.

“The children are here, don’t make Tianyan laugh,” Cheng Yi said, though his body had already moved, holding his wife in his arms to comfort her.

It had been ten years since he could hug his wife like this. Looking at the petite woman in his arms, Cheng Yi’s smile was full of tenderness.

Cheng Qi looked at his father and mother embracing each other and couldn’t help but shed tears.

“Thank you,” Cheng Yu said, looking at his father who had fully recovered and turning to thank Li Tianyan.

If it hadn’t been for Li Tianyan’s help, he wouldn’t have been able to help his father recover so quickly with his own abilities, and a warrior’s lifespan wasn’t as good as a cultivator. He didn’t know if he could get enough time.

“Since we’re family, there’s no need to thank me,” Li Tianyan said, glancing at Cheng Qi beside him.

Seeing that Mrs. Cheng wouldn’t stop crying for a while, the three juniors returned to the house to rest, leaving the couple to cling to each other.

.

After spending one night at the Cheng family’s home, the next day Li Tianyan re-established a protective formation in the courtyard for Cheng Yi and his wife, leaving behind some warrior medicinal pills and health prescriptions for Mrs. Cheng before the three of them departed to Haoyue Immortal Sect.

Standing in the courtyard, Cheng Yi and his wife watched the three depart with reluctance in their eyes, silently bidding farewell to each other, tears glistening in the corners of their eyes.

“Okay, stop crying. The kids said they’ll come visit us again when they have time. Now that my body’s healed, I’ll take you wherever you want to go,” Cheng Yi said, skillfully wiping away his wife’s tears.

“You’re telling me not to cry, but you’re the one who can’t stop,” Mrs. Cheng muttered, unable to hold back her laughter.
