Chapter 946: Origins

"What are you saying? I have to support you too! Let’s go!" As she spoke, Bai Xiuxiu grabbed his hand, not even returning to the dorm. She released their soul-guided car from the storage soul guide and drove away directly.

On Heaven Dou Planet.

Nan Cheng sat dazed in her bedroom, her eyes red and swollen from crying. Lan Xiao sat beside her.

Today, they had just received an inquiry from the Federation. Nothing could be concealed anymore. The fact that Lan Xuanyu came from an egg wasn’t known only to them, but also to their colleagues at that time. Many things couldn\'t withstand investigation.

To their surprise, the Federation didn’t punish them. Without saying much, they politely sent them back.

Nan Cheng realized something and called Lan Xuanyu. Her biggest worry was that Lan Xuanyu would be affected by his origins. But from Lan Xuanyu’s words just now, it was clear that he knew and wasn’t affected by his identity.

"What did Xuanyu say?" Lan Xiao’s breath was a bit rapid.

"He said he loves us, no matter what, we are always his mom and dad. He also said he would bring Xiuxiu back to see us soon. Husband, wuwuwu…" Nan Cheng threw herself into Lan Xiao’s arms and started crying loudly.

Lan Xiao let out a long breath, "What must be will be. We can\'t be that selfish in the end! Xuanyu’s identity must be special. We…"

"He is my son!" Nan Cheng choked up.

"Yes, he is."

Lan Xuanyu was at the Shrek City Aerospace Center when he called Liu Feng, telling him to inform everyone that he and Xiuxiu were safe and that Nana teacher was also rescued. He told them they could take a vacation. He and Bai Xiuxiu would also take a few days off to go home.

As for how they would return home, they naturally didn’t need civilian spacecraft. They would directly pilot the Thirty-Three Sky Wings warship back. Even with just the two of them, in non-combat situations, piloting the warship was no problem. The cruise mode alone was enough to take them to Tianluo Star.

A few days later.

"Knock, knock, knock." The sound of knocking came.

Nan Cheng almost reflexively jumped off the sofa. This wasn’t the first time there had been a knock at the door these past few days. Although she knew Lan Xuanyu couldn’t come back so soon, she rushed to the door every time.

And this time.

"Xuanyu!" With a scream, Nan Cheng tightly hugged Lan Xuanyu, tears streaming down.

The travel-worn Lan Xuanyu was startled, quickly holding Nan Cheng and bringing her back inside, while Bai Xiuxiu closed the door.

"Mom, don’t cry, don’t cry!" Lan Xuanyu gently comforted her with soft soul power mixed with a bit of water attribute.

Nan Cheng choked up, her body trembling slightly, unable to calm down for a long time.

Lan Xiao wasn’t home; he was probably at work.

This familiar home, Lan Xuanyu hadn’t been back for several years.

The house hadn’t changed, still so familiar, even the aroma remained the same.

After a long while, Nan Cheng’s emotions finally stabilized. Her hands trembling, she dialed a number, "I’ll tell your dad to come back quickly."

"Okay."

An Hour Later

An hour later, Lan Xiao also returned home. Seeing Lan Xuanyu, Lan Xiao pressed his lips together.

“Dad.” Lan Xuanyu took the initiative and gave him a hug.

Lan Xiao finally smiled a bit more. Although it had been a while since they last saw each other, he didn’t feel any strangeness from his son. This put his heart at ease.

Nan Cheng looked at Lan Xiao and then at Lan Xuanyu. Lan Xiao nodded to her.

Nan Cheng said softly, “Xuanyu, there are some things you need to know. Back then…”

“Mom, there’s no need to say anything. Didn’t I already tell you during our call that day? I will always be your son, no matter what, and no one can change that. I love you and I love Dad. That’s enough. Whatever happened in the past, I don’t want to know. It’s not important. All I know is that you raised me and made me who I am today. Without you, there would be no me.”

Lan Xuanyu’s words made Nan Cheng tremble slightly, and she began to cry again.

Lan Xiao went over to hug his wife and said softly, “I told you, our child has grown up and become more sensible. No matter what, he will always be our son. You worry too much.”

Nan Cheng suddenly lifted her head and retorted, “Am I the only one who worried? Who was it that stayed up all night, secretly smoking on the balcony until dawn? Hmph! You think I didn’t know? The smell of smoke was enough to choke anyone.”

Watching their usual banter, Lan Xuanyu laughed and felt more at ease.

“Dad, Mom. This time, Xiuxiu and I came back for a vacation. Our graduation exams are over, and we should have no problem getting into the inner court of Shrek Academy. The recent exams exhausted us, so make sure to cook lots of delicious food for us. We’ll be freeloading at home until school starts and won’t go anywhere.”

Yes, Lan Xuanyu had already decided on the way back that he would spend quality time with his parents. He had been busy with cultivation these past few years and rarely came home. With the inner court and possibly joining the fleet in the future, he would be even busier. It was the perfect time to stay home for a while.

His Uncle Le and Teacher Nana were recovering at Shrek’s inner court and didn’t need his company. Before leaving, he had specifically called Ying Luohong to ask for leave, which was granted. They had a month off to relax and rest.

“That’s great. No problem. Mom will go out and buy some delicious food for you right away. I promise you’ll gain weight before you go back,” Nan Cheng said, her mood clearly lifted by seeing her son and hearing his words.

“Wait a moment,” Lan Xiao said, pulling Nan Cheng back. Then he looked at Lan Xuanyu and said, “Xuanyu, we understand your feelings. Dad is very happy, truly happy.”

Lan Xiao’s eyes reddened as he continued, “But there are some things you should know. After all, it concerns your origins and will help you in the future when you seek out your own background.”

Lan Xuanyu was stunned. He originally didn’t want to know how he came to be with Nan Cheng and Lan Xiao. After all, it didn’t matter anymore. His identity had long been confirmed through their shared bloodline.

“Back then, your mother and I lived on our home planet. We were piloting a survey ship, conducting explorations in the far northern regions of the planet…”

“… We never expected that within this peculiar gold and silver-colored egg, we would find a human baby. Yes, that was you.”

Lan Xiao recounted in detail how he and Nan Cheng discovered Lan Xuanyu in the far north.

“… Since you didn’t leave any trace of the egg, we didn’t know how to report it to the Federation. After discussing it, your mother and I decided to adopt you and raise you as our own child. So, we don’t know your exact origins; we only know that you must have an extraordinary background. A few days ago, the Federation summoned us and specifically inquired about you. We were very worried, afraid that something had happened to you. Fortunately, you are fine. Your mother cried not just out of fear that you wouldn’t recognize us, but more importantly, out of concern for your safety.”

A child born from an egg.

Lan Xuanyu’s gaze became a bit vacant. Although he had guessed that he wasn’t Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng’s biological child, he hadn’t expected his origins to be so bizarre.

Born from an egg? What kind of weirdness was this…

And he had even been picked up from the far northern regions.
