Chapter 131: Son, Grown Up
Chapter 131: Son, Grown Up
After Xu Yan shared his next plan with his companions, everyone immediately agreed.
After all, it wasn't a dangerous mission—it was practically like going on vacation.
The train arrived in Oiwa City, and Xu Yan took his team back to the military district to report.
All the soldiers lined the streets to welcome him warmly.
"Xu Yan! Well done! You directly led the team to disintegrate the beast tide—amazing!"
"During the recruit assessment, a captain returned instead of a private. No one else could pull that off!"
"You're now at the same level as District Chief Ding. From now on, we have to listen to you!"
District Chief Ding: "Well done..."
Their military district had truly made a name for itself this time.
Every soldier, from top to bottom, felt proud.
When Xu Yan left, there were four people.
When he returned, there were nine.
Because Zhou Min, Xu Ying, Gu Shuang, and Shi Ting had achieved military merit in Baitan City and were interested in enlisting,
The Provincial Military Region had specially recruited them into the army.
As for Xu Yan's maid, Alia, due to her special status as a half-human, the army arranged a temporary identity for her, allowing her to join Xu Yan.

District Chief Ding:
"Xu Yan, this trip to Baitan City was hard work—it wasn't easy!"
"I won't assign you any more tasks. Take a good rest! I'll give you all a month's leave!"
"District Chief Ding, forget the rest—I've already taken on a new mission."
"Huh? Who assigned you a task?"
"I did. It's a covert mission in the Island Country, and it's already been confirmed."
"All eight of the people I brought with me are coming with me."
District Chief Ding suddenly realized—
Xu Yan's military rank had reached captain, which meant he could accept and arrange missions on his own...
This kid really doesn't know how to take a break?
Restless, aren't we?
Forget it—Ding had seen the covert mission details before.
It wasn't a difficult task.
With their strength, they could handle it.
Just think of it as a trip to relax.
"Alright, when do you leave?"
"In a week."
"If you need anything, just tell me directly. You're a big deal in Xichuan now. The Provincial Military Command has instructed me to support you however I can. I've never received this kind of treatment."
"I don't need much—just an upgrade to my top-tier rare defense suit. I'm already at level 20, and my current equipment doesn't quite meet my needs."
District Chief Ding: "..."
"Alright! You'll have it within a week!"
Ding was shocked by Xu Yan's absurd leveling speed but agreed without hesitation.
Besides, the equipment Xu Yan was originally promised hadn't been made yet.
Since the Provincial Military Region was covering all expenses,
It wouldn't hurt to order an epic-tier defense suit for Xu Yan.
It saves money and earns favors—perfect!
---
After finishing his report, Xu Yan planned to go home first.
The Island Country mission might take a year.
Now that he had money, he needed to take care of his family first.
At the very least, he had to solve the housing problem.
His parents had been renting—that wasn't ideal.
---
Going Home
Xu Yan returned home.
Originally, he planned to go alone, but he found that Alia had quietly followed him.
With no other choice, he let her inside.
At home, Mom and Dad were waiting for him.
Mom was holding a bank card, both of them looking serious.
A few days ago, they discovered the bank card Xu Yan left behind—it had 300,000 yuan inside!
They didn't know where Xu Yan got the money,
But a high school student definitely couldn't have earned it legally.
They didn't expect Xu Yan to become incredibly successful,
But they couldn't accept him committing crimes—that was their bottom line!
After discussing it for days,
They decided to wait for him to return and talk things out.
---
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
They originally wanted to scold him,
But when they saw the girl behind Xu Yan, they held back.
So beautiful.
Could this be our future daughter-in-law?
"Xu Yan, you brought a classmate home—why didn't you say anything?"
"She's not a classmate—she's a colleague."
"Colleague?"
"Xu Yan, what do you mean?"
"Did you drop out of school!?"
Xu Yan didn't have time to answer.
Alia suddenly knelt down in front of his parents.
"I greet the honorable parents of the Divine Envoy. I am his maid, Alia."
The old couple had never seen this before,
And staggered back in shock.
"Xu… Xu Yan, what's going on!?"
Even Xu Yan was caught off guard.
"Alia! Get up!"
"Yes, Lord God Envoy!"
---
Then, Alia took out several large bags filled with bundles of 100-yuan bills.
She poured them onto the floor—a small mountain of cash.
A total of 20 million yuan!
"Alia! What are you doing!?"
"This is for the honorable Divine Envoy's family."****"
"The old patriarch instructed me to deliver it as a formal gift from the Voodoo Clan."
Mom picked up a stack, touched it, and her hands trembled.
"Xu… Xu Yan, you didn't rob a bank, did you!?"
"Are your 'colleagues' actually your accomplices!?"
Xu Yan almost lost his mind.
He originally wanted to keep his military identity a secret,
But now, he had no choice.
---
He took out his military ID.
"Dad, Mom, I actually joined the army."
"I received military honors, and all this money came from my achievements."
"Join the army!? Aren't you still a student at No. 8 Middle School!? Why did you enlist!?"
"Special recruitment!"
"Alia, show them your military ID."
"Yes!"
The parents examined the IDs—they didn't look fake.
Dad, worried, searched Xu Yan's military number on the official website.
It was real.
Not only that—Xu Yan had made significant contributions to Baitan City's beast tide defense.
There were photos of him receiving commendations!
Mom and Dad were stunned.
---
"Old man, am I dreaming?"
"Pinch me."
"Ow! It hurts! It's not a dream!"
"Pinch me too!"
"Ow! It's real..."
They looked at Xu Yan, noticing how he'd grown taller and stronger.
And then it hit them—
Their son, in the blink of an eye, had grown up.
