Back when I was using woven sacks to compress those Medicine Pills, I was just grabbing them at random, so they all ended up different sizes.
Even the ones I made later had slight differences in size.
'That's probably why some people woke up earlier than others.'
Take Han Licheng, for example. He was the one who woke up the fastest, but he was also the weakest among those who had taken the Medicine Pills.
Speaking of which, Han Licheng had been pretty down about that for a long time.
Before all this, he definitely wasn't the one with the worst skills in the group—he would have ranked in the top 200, at least. But now, he was at the very bottom.
'Of course, he couldn't blame anyone else. It was just his bad luck.'
Days passed, one after another. On this day, the cruise ship finally entered Huaxia's territorial waters. Standing on deck, Fang Chenyi took a deep breath of Huaxian air and couldn't help but sigh.
"Ah, the air in Huaxia is just so sweet."
Hearing this, Qi Xiaotian, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but laugh. But he sighed in agreement, "You know, Brother Fang, you're not wrong. After traveling all over the world, I still feel like the air here in Huaxia is the best."
The two of them exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.
Lifting his wrist to check the time, Fang Chenyi spoke with a sigh. "It's already been nine days on our way back. We'll be home in another two, making it eleven days in total. Sigh... Once we're back, we'll rest for one night and then have to set out again..."
Fang Chenyi had already told Qi Xiaotian about the trip to the Taklamakan Desert.
He'd explained that time was short and that his target was the Meteorite from the news.
Although he didn't know why Brother Fang was after that Meteorite, Qi Xiaotian didn't ask.
'After all, Brother Fang had his own considerations and made his own decisions. I just need to carry them out.'
The two chatted for a little while longer, then, as usual, they headed into the training facility to check on the still-sleeping Vajra.
As they entered, Er Gouzi, who was lying beside Vajra, lifted his head, gave Fang Chenyi a listless glance, and flopped back down.
When Vajra had first fallen into his deep sleep, Er Gouzi had been thrilled. After all, there was no one to fight with him for food anymore.
But now, after so long, he was getting bored again. After all, Vajra was the only one who could really play with him.
After carefully checking Vajra's condition and finding nothing abnormal, Fang Chenyi turned to Qi Xiaotian. "When we get back, if he's still asleep, just bring him along."
'Fang Chenyi's reasoning was simple. He had no idea what state the big guy would be in when he woke up after eating so many Medicine Pills, and he wouldn't feel at ease unless Vajra was by his side.'
He couldn't take the cruise ship to the Taklamakan Desert, but he did have a private jet.
'Bringing Vajra along wouldn't be a problem. The only question was whether the big guy would wake up by the time they reached the Taklamakan. Hopefully...'
「Two days later.」
Accompanied by the blast of a horn, the cruise ship slowly pulled into the newly built port at Lianfeng Mountain.
'The construction progress here is astonishingly fast,' Fang Chenyi thought. 'It's been less than two months, yet the port is already halfway finished.'
Aside from a few of the more complex facilities, it was basically ready for a cruise ship to dock without any issues.
As the ship came to a steady halt, excited expressions appeared on the faces of everyone on deck. They were finally home.
Even though the food and accommodations on the cruise had been excellent, everyone was still eager to be back on solid ground.
This voyage had been fraught with peril. They had all been through more than one battle.
But in the end, they had all returned safely, and with a full haul. Every crew member received over a million, plus a good number of diamonds.
Even the newly hired service staff each received a bonus of 100,000 and a reward of two sizable diamonds.
For every one of them, this was a considerable sum of money, as was evident from their ecstatic expressions.
The ship slowly finished docking, and the motorized gangway was immediately extended.
Seeing the thrilled crew members, Fang Chenyi waved his arm grandly. "Time to go home!"
The crew members instantly erupted in cheers.
However, no one moved. They remained in several orderly columns, waiting for Fang Chenyi to disembark before they would.
Seeing this, Fang Chenyi nodded in satisfaction and was the first to head off the ship.
As for matters on the ship, those were naturally left to Qi Xiaotian. Since his family wasn't here, he was in no hurry to disembark just yet.
The moment he stepped off the cruise ship, Fang Chenyi saw Bai Menghan waiting for him below.
Two days prior, Fang Chenyi had told Bai Menghan that he would be arriving today.
And Bai Menghan had dropped her work to rush over.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Having not seen each other for two months, Fang Chenyi missed Bai Menghan terribly.
Likewise, Bai Menghan had been missing Fang Chenyi desperately.
While still a good distance away, he opened his arms wide and moved to embrace Bai Menghan.
"Haha. Did you miss your husband?"
However, they were surrounded by the disembarking crew members. Seeing the two embrace, the crew couldn't help but let out a chorus of good-natured catcalls.
Luckily, Fang Chenyi was thick-skinned. He waved to the surrounding crowd, then simply swept Bai Menghan up into a princess carry and headed for her car, which was parked nearby.
Arriving at the car, he gently placed her in the passenger seat before getting into the driver's seat himself. He stomped on the gas, and the sports car let out a roar as it sped straight toward his villa complex.
To the villa complex, and to his own Villa No. 3.
As soon as they were back, Fang Chenyi eagerly carried Bai Menghan into the bathroom.
He'd been like a monk for two months out at sea, and Fang Chenyi was about to burst from the pent-up frustration.
Now, with a beauty back in his arms, Fang Chenyi couldn't wait another second.
Accompanied by the SPLASH of running water, the entire room soon echoed with a rhythmic thumping.
The bathroom, the hallway, the bedroom.
After their passionate reunion, it was already noon. The two didn't get out of bed, simply lying on the large mattress in the bedroom, whispering to each other. When they grew tired of talking, they embraced and fell asleep once more.
By the time they opened their eyes again, the world outside the window was pitch black.
He lifted his wrist to check the time. It was already past nine at night.
He gently patted Bai Menghan's butt and said,
"I'm back and I still haven't gone to see Mom and Dad. How about we head over for a visit now?"
