Chapter 85 Yu Han and the Time-Space Douluo
"Light?? Asura?? Who is that guy...? I, I actually saw a god!!" Qian Yuhan lay stunned on the bed, looking at the familiar surroundings. Wasn't this the Bright Moon Villa?
Looking at the clock on the wall again, it was almost dinnertime. Qian Yuhan stretched and was about to go to the kitchen to get something to eat when the front door was pushed open.
"Xiao Han? You're awake..." As the voice came, the door was slowly pushed open, and a man and a woman walked in. The man was tall and imposing, exuding an aura of awe; he was none other than the renowned Heavenly Might Douluo. The woman was graceful and beautiful, with every gesture revealing a noble and elegant temperament; she was the Fourth Elder of the Spirit Hall—the Time-Space Douluo.
"Uncle Tianwei, Aunt Shikong! What brings you here?" Qian Yuhan's face immediately lit up with surprise when she saw the visitors, and she quickly stood up to greet them.
"Haha, you little rascal, have you missed your auntie? It's been so long! I was in seclusion for a while, and it's been three whole years since I last saw you!" Time-Space Douluo said with a smile, quickly walking towards Qian Yuhan. Before he could react, she opened her arms and gave him a big, warm hug. Feeling the familiar aura emanating from Time-Space Douluo, Qian Yuhan couldn't help but feel touched, and his eyes welled up with tears.
The relationship between Qian Yuhan and Time-Space Douluo can be described as extremely close, like that of a mother and son. Before she went into seclusion to cultivate, Qian Yuhan's favorite thing to do was to go to where Time-Space Douluo was to play and frolic. Time-Space Douluo also cared for Qian Yuhan very much, never finding him noisy or annoying, and always gently coaxing him to be happy like a mother.
Once, the mischievous young Qian Yuhan accidentally broke the glass lamp that Qian Mo had offered to the angel god. This angered Qian Mo, who scolded Qian Yuhan severely. Feeling wronged, Qian Yuhan ran away in a huff.
At that time, Qian Yuhan was still young, and with nowhere else to go, he could only run towards the Time-Space Palace where the Time-Space Douluo resided. It was pouring rain at the time, with large raindrops relentlessly pounding on the ground. When the Time-Space Douluo slowly pushed open the heavy doors of the palace, he saw Qian Yuhan's small body standing shivering in front of the door, his whole body already soaked through by the rain.
Seeing Qian Yuhan in such a disheveled state, Time-Space Douluo felt a pang of heartache and, without a word, pulled him into the hall. First, he fetched hot water to wash Qian Yuhan's body, and then found clean clothes for him to change into. Afterward, Time-Space Douluo sat quietly to the side, patiently listening to little Qian Yuhan pour out his grievances and unhappiness.
When mealtimes came, the Time-Space Douluo, worried that Qian Yuhan might be hungry, personally cooked a series of delicious dishes. Qian Yuhan stayed in the Time-Space Palace for a full half-month. During this time, thanks to the Time-Space Douluo's meticulous care and the daily abundance of food, Qian Yuhan actually gained a lot of weight.
After that, whenever Qian Yuhan encountered something sad or upsetting, if his father was too busy to attend to him, he would always think of going to the Time-Space Douluo to confide in him. He would often enter the Time-Space Palace with a face full of sorrow, but in the end, he would leave happily skipping away after being comforted and cared for by the Time-Space Douluo.
When Qian Yuhan learned that the Time-Space Douluo was in seclusion, he threw a tantrum, saying he didn't want Aunt Time-Space to go into seclusion. He was only calmed down after being coaxed by Qian Mo. For the next three years, until he was eight years old, Qian Yuhan loved to play with the other enshrined figures. The enshrined uncles also took great care of him. It can be said that Qian Yuhan's childhood was inseparable from the companionship of the enshrined figures.
Now that she saw Aunt Time and Space, how could Qian Yuhan not miss her? Three years had passed, and Time and Space Douluo seemed to have aged quite a bit. As if sensing Qian Yuhan's thoughts, Time and Space Douluo smiled and said, "Auntie, I just came out of seclusion not long ago, and I haven't had time to take care of myself properly. About a week ago, I was summoned to the Star Dou Great Forest by your Uncle Tianwei as soon as I came out of seclusion, and he brought you back while you were still meditating."
"Yeah, you were absorbing a spirit ring, and you ended up meditating right away, goodness! Meditating in that place isn't safe. I'll send a message to your Time-Space Auntie to teleport you back. If I put you on my White Tiger, it would probably affect your meditation state..."
"Thank you so much, Uncle Tianwei and Aunt Shikong. How long have I been meditating? A week?" Qian Yuhan asked in confusion.
“That’s right. It’s rare for someone like you to be able to meditate at such a deep level and wake up so quickly. Usually, most people, even if they reach the Soul Master realm, may not be able to reach this level. Usually, only those who have reached the Soul Emperor level or so will start to try deep meditation.” The Time-Space Douluo nodded slightly and explained the reason in a slow and unhurried manner.
After a brief pause, she continued, "Furthermore, the meditation I'm referring to is vastly different from the simple meditation you all practice by closing your eyes! The difference is like heaven and earth. The meditation you usually use merely allows the most superficial level of soul power to circulate slowly within your body; however, the deep meditation you just experienced allows you to truly perceive the laws governing the flow of energy between heaven and earth. On the long path of cultivation, these two different types of meditation must be flexibly switched according to the actual situation to achieve greater success. Generally speaking, if you encounter a bottleneck that is difficult to overcome, you should decisively choose the latter; as for the daily routine of sitting meditation to cultivate soul power, the former is naturally more suitable. True top experts should have a thorough understanding and be able to use both shallow and deep meditation with ease! Xiao Han, you've already shown remarkable talent in this area, but you still need to continuously comprehend its mysteries; given time, you will surely achieve great things..."
Time-Space Douluo patted Qian Yuhan's shoulder and said softly, "Are you hungry? Try this—" As he spoke, Time-Space Douluo lifted the bag he was carrying and waved it in front of Qian Yuhan before placing it on the dining table.
Qian Yuhan swallowed hard. He had already smelled the aroma. The Time-Space Douluo's cooking skills were absolutely superb. His dishes were incredibly fragrant, making him a top-tier chef.
Qian Yuhan slowly reached out, gently pinched the edge of the lunchbox lid, and then lifted it slightly. With a soft "click," the lid opened smoothly. Instantly, a rich aroma wafted out, a mouthwatering scent.
Upon closer inspection, the lunchbox contained two delicious-looking dishes: spicy diced chicken and braised eggplant in soy sauce. Soft lighting bathed them, as if draping them in a golden veil, making them look exceptionally tempting.
The tender, juicy chunks of chicken, coated in vibrant red chilies and Sichuan peppercorns, exuded a fiery aroma. Each piece glistened with oil, its bright color dazzling, like sparkling rubies. Beside it, the braised eggplant, a deep purple, had slightly wrinkled skin, revealing a unique texture. The thick sauce evenly coated the eggplant, releasing a rich, savory aroma that was incredibly appetizing.
Just by looking at these two dishes, you can feel your mouth starting to water, as if you can't wait to taste the ultimate enjoyment brought by these delicacies.
Seeing Qian Yuhan's greedy look, the Time-Space Douluo covered his mouth and laughed, "Hurry up and eat! I've been bringing you food every day these past few days. Since you've entered meditation as a Soul Master, I don't know when you'll wake up. I know you'll be hungry when you do. That's why I come to check if you're awake at mealtimes every day. If you're not awake, your Uncle Tianwei will eat the food. If you're awake, there won't be any for him, hahaha—"
Qian Yuhan sat there quietly, listening to the words of the Time-Space Douluo. For some reason, he suddenly felt a pang of sadness, as if something had gently touched his nose. Then, a warm feeling welled up in his eyes, and tears began to fill them involuntarily.
At this moment, the Time-Space Douluo noticed Qian Yuhan's change, and a slight smile appeared on his lips as he said in a teasing tone, "Oh, back when you were just a little kid, you always came to me to complain, but you never shed a tear! How come you've turned into a crybaby after three years? That's not good—"
Hearing this teasing remark, Qian Yuhan gently shook his head, trying to hold back the tears that were about to spill from his eyes. He didn't want others to see such a vulnerable side of him, especially not in front of the respected Time-Space Douluo. So, he lowered his head, gripped his chopsticks tightly, and frantically shoveled food into his mouth, seemingly trying to use food to mask the surging emotions within him.
After watching Qian Yuhan finish her meal, Time-Space Douluo and Heavenly Might Douluo left so as not to disturb her rest.
Less than half an hour after the two left, there was another knock on the door. Qian Yuhan opened the door again, and there was still a man and a woman standing there. The man was Yu Ziyang, and the woman was Zhou Yue...
