I’ll Beat You Up, It Hurts

In a blink of an eye, Yun Yao had been living in the Coast for more than a year. Maybe it was because of the shift in her identity, the people of the Coast were not like those from the southwest or the capital. They were warm and friendly. Every time they took the children out for a walk, the people they met always voluntarily greeted them. It had just been over a year, they, especially the three kids, had acquainted themselves with other people in the courtyard.

The kids, who were almost two years old, were slightly taller than the average child. They were all chubby and white, as cute as Chenchen when he was a baby. Maybe it was because they were raised by Yun Yao, Wang Suhua and other women, though they were only two, they were very sweet, calling everybody they met uncle, auntie, brother and sister. Everyone who had seen them adored them, especially after they learned they were children of Xing Feng and Yun Che. Everyone spoiled them to the most.

However, the three kids were also naughty. Generally, triplets like them would fight for things, and so did they, but they didn't fight over their own belongings and didn't fight with each other. However, they loved to bully others, and they often did it together. Even kids older than them were often beaten up by them, so that Yun Yao had to apologize to people every now and then. When she wanted to teach them a lesson, they just played cute or hid behind their great-grandfather or uncle. Every time, it made Yun Yao so angry that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Aun… tie… sorry."

"Aunt…"

Today Yun Yao was out to apologize again, because in the morning they beat up the grandson of the Wang Family next door, and what was worse, Xing Shibo used thunderstruck, which scared the kid's parents so that they almost wet their pants. They were indeed in a big trouble this time, which made Yun Yao furious. She walked in the front and paid no attention to them, so the three kids chased after her, calling out to their auntie. Wang Suhua, Lu's mom and Kong's mom who came along, didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The three kids were just getting more and more naughty.

"What is it? Have they gotten into trouble again?"

"Che?!"

Yun Yao, who had just entered the courtyard, came to a halt and stared incredulously at Yun Che who was leaning at the door with a wide smile on his face, as well as Yun Cheng and the others who stood beside him.

"Che, you guys are out."

"Haixuan, Haoling"

"Jiawen…"

Wang Suhua and the other two who followed behind also got excited, their eyes reddened. Lu Haixuan and Zhan Yafei hurriedly went forward to hug them, and Yun Che also walked up to his sister, "What's wrong? It's only been a year since we last saw each other. Sis, you don't recognize us anymore?"

"Brat, you still remember to come. Whoo…"

Yun Yao choked, and before she could finish her words, she flung herself into his arms and cried, her fist gently pounding his chest. Chenchen, who came from behind, tugged the hem of her dress, "Mom, I'm here. I'm out too."

"Chenchen"

Seeing her son, Yun Yao squatted down to hug him and cried even harder. For more than a year, they had a good life, and everything was prepared for them. Grandpa and Weiye took good care of them and came to have meals with them every day. Meanwhile, she also knew that they were fighting for their future. However, she just couldn't help it. The moment she saw them, her tears streaming down because she had been missing them for such a long time.

"It's alright, sis. We're back here now, aren't we?"

Letting go the hand of Xing Feng, Yun Che squatted down and hugged her, while Yun Cheng hugged her from the other side, "Don't cry, sis. We were not going on an adventure. We're all fine, aren't we?"

However, Yun Cheng also felt bitter in his heart. He didn't feel that way when they were cultivating in the Space. The year passed in a blink of an eye. But his sister and others had led a slow life outside, and no wonder she was so excited at seeing them after they'd been cultivating for more than a year.

"Mom, don't cry!"

Seeing his mom crying so sadly, Chenchen also choked up. Although he was already so much stronger than many adults, he was still a six-year-old boy and he was just a baby to his mother.

"Pa, pa…"

Suddenly, a silver-white thunder snake flew towards Yun Che, which startled the crowd. Just when Xing Feng was about to come forward, Yun Che waved his hand and the scary thunder snake disappeared without a trace. Before they could react, a chubby kid with a lightning birthmark on his forehead stepped forward with both arms on his waist, "Do not bully my auntie!"

"No!"

Then two other chubby kids with birthmarks on their forehead came forward as well. They looked exactly the same, as they were all chubby, the only difference being the shape of the birthmark on their forehead. Though they were only two years old, their huge dark eyes were shining with a strong light. Even in the face of a group of adults, they were unafraid, nor did they flinch. Although they were yet unable to speak well, they still wanted to defend their dear aunt.

"Huh. There is going to be a father-son war?"

"Haha…master, your son actually does not recognize you and has to strike you with lightning. Haha…That's just hilarious."

"Che, Captain Xing. You guys are doomed. What about accepting their challenge?"

"Senior…"

"Xingchen, be careful of Che throwing Jiang into the Space. He is best at threatening people with such despicable and shameless means…"

"Zeyu, you've really learned this the hard way."

"They are Che's sons. Look at them. They are just cool, handsome and tyrannical, aren't they?"

Realizing who the three kids were and that they no longer recognized them, Meng Gang, Ye Xingchen and the others, who came out with them, laughed so hard, among whom Heiyu laughed in the most exaggerated way and he was now tumbling on the ground. As for Xing Feng and Yun Che, who were made fun of, one was helpless, and the other let go of his sister and squatted down to look at his sons.

"What if I want to bully your auntie?"

Ignoring others' teasing, Yun Che hooked the corner of his lips and looked at his sons. The three kids obviously did not expect this from him, and the youngest kid, Yun Ziyang, waved his fist, "I'll beat you up. It hurts."

"Haha… Che, your son is going to beat you up. I'm laughing my ass off."

"Yangyang has the guts. You are two years old and you dare to beat your dad. It'll be easy for you to beat the shit out of your dad in the future. Ha, ha, ha…"

"Haha…I can't. Jiang, hold me tight. I'm laughing so hard that my legs start to shake…"

"Okay…"

Hearing this, the crowd laughed so hard that their stomachs were cramping. Never in their dream had they imagined that they would see this when they came out of the Space. It was already hilarious that the three kids no longer recognized their own father, and they wanted to beat their own father. Well, they were indeed sons of Xing Feng and Yun Che, weren't they? Impressive. They were indeed impressive.

"Stop laughing!"

The little kids obviously had no idea what they were laughing at. They frowned as the biggest kid, Xing Shining shouted, staring at Yun Che with his huge eyes, which were filled with confusion. Though he no longer recognized him, he felt him a bit familiar. So he looked at Yun Che, perplexed.

"Silly boy, they are your fathers. Don't you recognize them?"

Yun Yao who came back to her senses found it funny as she wiped her eyes. The three kids looked at Yun Che as they tilted their heads. They frowned and said in unison, "Dad?"

"Yes, little brothers, my uncle is your dad, so is Uncle Xing. I am your big brother. When you were little, I fed you and changed your diapers every day. I like you the most… ouch…"

Chenchen broke away from his mom and walked happily towards his brothers. However, before he could finish his words, a thunder snake smashed on his head. With his cultivation, he didn't feel the pain, but he was aggrieved, his eyes immediately reddened. He couldn't believe that his little brothers hit him…

"Ningning, big brother."

The second one, Xing Shipo, turned around and hugged his elder brother Xing Shining, looking at Chenchen with his mouth pouted. And Yun Ziyang also reached out his chubby hands to hug his brothers, "Ningning, Bobo, big brothers."

What they meant was obvious. Xing Shining was their real brother, and Chenchen was not. They were still young but already cliquey.

"Uncle…"

Chenchen, with tears in his eyes, turned back to his uncle, aggrieved, asking for help. His brothers didn't want him anymore.

They didn't want their dad too, did they!

If possible, Yun Che would love to reply to him like this, but looking at Chenchen's aggravation, he didn't have the heart to say so. Well, they were to blame because they had been away so long this time.

"Well, let me talk to them."

Yun Che walked towards him and rubbed his head. As he walked forward, the kids backed away, their eyes looking vigilant. They were so young and yet so guarded, which made Yun Che speechless, "Alright, don't back off. I won't eat you, will I? Don't you hear your aunt, I am your dad. Do you know what a dad is?"

Yun Che never dreamed that one day he would have to talk to his sons like this.

"Dad…."

The three kids replied in unison again, but this time they were not confused. They knew what dad meant. Auntie had told them a lot about their dads and they had been looking forward to meeting them.

"Ningning, want dad."

The youngest kid, Yun Ziyang, looked at his dad and then at his brother, his voice a little choked. He wanted dad, but without his brothers saying so, he didn't dare to.

"Auntie?"

They were of the same age so Xing Shining wanted his dad as well. But he was unfamiliar with this dad that came out of nowhere. Having no other way, the kids turned to their auntie for help. Seeing this, Yun Yao walked over and squatted down behind them and nudged them, "Go on. They're both your dads."

"Dad…"

With the help of their aunt, finally, the three kids no longer resist, and they ran into the arms of Xing Feng and Yun Che. Yun Che, who was holding a kid in each arm, felt tears coming out of his eyes, "Sorry, dad is late. I will never leave you behind again."

"Dad. Whoo…"

The little kids, who were so domineering earlier, all cried as if they had smelled something familiar. The scene touched everyone. When they realized that Yun Che left his kids for cultivation for more than a year so that they would have a better future, none of them could keep on laughing.

"Uncle, I want it too…."

Chenchen pouted his mouth and tugged the hem of Yun Che's coat. His younger brothers still hadn't recognized him as an elder brother yet. God knew how sad he felt in his heart.

"Okay, okay. Come over here. Ningning, Yangyang, Bobo, this is the son of your auntie and he is your big brother, and you should call him big brother."

Pushing the children away a little, Yun Che pulled over Bobo who was in Xing Feng's arms and introduced Chenchen to them.

"Little brother!"

Chenchen was a bit nervous as he looked at them, fearing that they still couldn't recognize him. Then he would have no other way but cry.

"Big rother!"

"Huh?"

But this time, he was obviously worried for nothing. The three kids called out to him and hugged him. Chenchen felt so flattered that he didn't know how to react. After a while, he took them into his arms, "Little brothers, little brothers."

Great. Now his little brothers recognized him, and he was their big brother again. From now on he would protect his little brothers from all bad guys.

Looking at the children hugging together, Yun Che and Xing Feng exchanged a look and Yun Che leaned in Xing Feng's arms. This was marvelous!
