My gorgeous wife

Chapter 2058 - 2026: Aunt Wang

Divine Sense is a wonderful thing.

Without Divine Sense, Li Chen was virtually alone with nothing on him.

But after being able to use Divine Sense, everything changed.

Even a tiny bit of it was enough for Li Chen to open the Ring.

Speaking of which, the treasures inside Li Chen’s Ring were indeed plentiful. Although there was nothing that could undo the Seal on him, for Li Chen, it still offered some security.

In the end, after searching for a long time, Li Chen found... a set of keys in the corner of his Ring.

Yes, a set of keys, the keys to Linchuan Villa.

After so many years, this set of keys had been kept inside the Ring by Li Chen. Despite being surrounded by genuine Heaven’s Materials and Earth’s Treasures and various Divine Objects, he still couldn’t bring himself to throw the keys away.

It wasn’t that he necessarily needed these keys to open the door.

But these keys held a special significance for him.

Holding the keys, Li Chen slowly reached the villa’s front door and carefully searched for the key to unlock the door.

However, before he even found the key, a group of figures suddenly appeared around him.

Soon, Li Chen found himself surrounded in front of his own house.

"Who goes there?" A group of unidentified men dressed in black looked at Li Chen with grim expressions and spoke.

Seeing this, Li Chen couldn’t help but look stunned.

Does one even need to be interrogated just to return home?

"Just someone coming home," Li Chen said with a peculiar expression.

"Kid, do you even know what place this is?" One of the young men in black stepped forward, looking at Li Chen coldly.

"What place? My home," Li Chen said with a wry smile.

"You..." The young man’s voice paused, "I suggest you be honest, reveal your identity and your purpose here, or don’t blame us for being rude."

Li Chen scratched his neck.

This was awkward.

Returning to his own home and getting interrogated; and if I don’t cooperate, they’re likely to resort to more intense methods?

Of course, Li Chen could guess that this group was probably related to the Nether King Group and was stationed here on orders from above, so he couldn’t make things difficult for them.

But what should he say now?

"I’m Li Chen, I’ve returned from the Heaven Realm?"

If he said that, whether these people believed it or not, Li Chen was sure he wouldn’t be welcomed warmly. Instead, these people might want to test him first to verify his identity.

Li Chen’s current state was rather unique; he’s likely reached the limit when it comes to enduring a beating, but he couldn’t muster any Yuan Force inside him.

Just then, there was some commotion from inside the villa.

Hearing the noise from the villa, Li Chen was a bit startled.

He had ascended for so long, and Xiaoxiao and the others had ascended too. Could there really be others living in the villa?

Logically, apart from their group, no one else should be living here. Even Wan’er and the others shouldn’t have moved in on their own.

"So..."

Li Chen looked up to see an old man with silver strands amidst his hair but looking vigorous coming towards him.

Seeing who it was, Li Chen was taken aback: "Aunt Wang?"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s voice, Aunt Wang suddenly paused, her gaze sweeping towards Li Chen.

"You... you are..." At first, Aunt Wang’s eyes were confused, but upon seeing Li Chen, her voice started trembling.

"Senior Wang?" At this point, the young man in black also realized something was off and called out to Aunt Wang.

"Ah... you’re here too, what’s going on?" Aunt Wang finally noticed the crowd surrounding Li Chen and hurriedly asked.

The young man coughed: "This person’s background is unclear, he suddenly appeared here, so we wanted to question him a bit..."

"Let him in, it’s fine," Aunt Wang said to the youth, noticing Li Chen’s gaze.

"Since Senior Wang has spoken, then we will be off." The young man in black gave Li Chen a dubious glance, but eventually gestured to his peers: "Withdraw."

It was only then that Aunt Wang approached and unlocked the villa’s main door.

Smiling, as he stepped into the villa, Li Chen took a deep breath: "Smells like home."

Looking at Li Chen, Aunt Wang still seemed puzzled: "You... are you really?"

Li Chen smiled at Aunt Wang.

"Are you really the son of sir?"

Li Chen: "..."

Suddenly, Li Chen had an urge to go back and smash the Spirit Releasing Abyss to pieces.

Sealing Cultivation Level, Dao Foundation Lock, Divine Sense Lock are all fine, but shortening my years, what kind of trouble is this?

At this moment, Li Chen couldn’t even describe his current inner feeling.

How does it feel to be mistaken for your own son?

Thousands of galloping horses!

But come to think of it, Li Chen had been gone for so many years, and if he indeed had a son in the Heaven Realm, he would be about this age.

"Aunt Wang, we are Martial Artists, maybe you should take a closer look?" Li Chen said cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang took another careful look at Li Chen.

"You... really do look like sir, but wasn’t sir rumored to have ascended already, and even then, sir wasn’t this young... could you be sir’s younger brother?" Aunt Wang said, still perplexed.

Li Chen was at a loss whether to cry or laugh.

"I am Li Chen!"

Aunt Wang jumped in shock: "You... you really are sir?"

"Aunt Wang, remember the first time I came to the villa, you asked me what to eat, and I said I liked meat, lots of meat!" Li Chen recalled and then said with a smile.

"This..." Aunt Wang came over, sizing Li Chen up again and again.

In the end, Aunt Wang said, "Sir, have you become an Immortal, how is it that after all these years, you’ve become even younger?"

Li Chen paused, then sighed and said: "It’s a bit complicated. I’ll explain later. In any case, I’m back due to some special reasons."

Aunt Wang led Li Chen into the living room, made him a cup of tea, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating.

"You want to ask about Lin Yi, right?" Seeing Aunt Wang’s expression, Li Chen knew what she was thinking.

Aunt Wang nodded, somewhat apprehensive, and asked: "Sir, how are the young mistress and the others?"

"They... should be safe now," Li Chen replied, with a hint of self-deprecation in his voice: "At least, they should be doing better than me."

Li Chen was secretly thankful he hadn’t let Lin Yi and the others go with him; the years of wandering hardship were enough for him to bear alone. If he dragged Lin Yi and the others along just because of loneliness, making them suffer alongside him, that would be too selfish.

Aunt Wang looked at Li Chen, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end, just let out a light sigh.

Though Li Chen didn’t mention his own situation, Aunt Wang could tell that perhaps the years hadn’t been as glorious for him as his reputation here suggested.

Behind the glory often lay many unknown hardships.

These hardships, only he could silently endure.
