I'm bombarding the Supernatural World with my firearms-Chapter 466: Extra 5: "Chen Universe" (5)

```

"For example?"

With a hint of curiosity, Hungry Monkey spoke up. He was genuinely curious about what these people normally did on other planets, as he hadn’t been to other worlds much himself.

"Well, about that."

Scarred Dog grinned and said, "Just wait a few days until it’s all over, and I’ll take you on a tour. Then you’ll see for yourself."

...

Meanwhile, at the banquet hall, Jiaye was holding Lord Miao’s hand, unable to stop stroking it: "Being young is so great, your skin is so delicate it seems it could drip water. When I was young, I was just like you, but alas, time spares no one."

"I’m already old. Your little face is so soft and tender, let Auntie feel it properly."

"Not at all."

Lord Miao said, somewhat shyly, "Auntie, you don’t look it at all. I have trouble calling you Auntie. It feels like you’re more like my sister. But if I don’t call you Auntie, it messes up our family relations."

"Auntie’s skin is much better than mine, and you have such a nice personality too. Yi was really fortunate to have married you."

"You, child."

JIaye couldn’t help the smile overflowing on her face: "You’re so sweet-tongued. Who did you learn it from? Couldn’t be from my son, I hope? I recall my son Chen Miao can be quite foul-mouthed."

"..."

Chen Miao, who was sitting on a nearby sofa smoking, couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of his mouth when he heard this. Was that a way to talk about her own son? Saying that her son has a dirty mouth? He didn’t remember ever cursing much before, right?

His self-perception, after all, was still that of a model youth.

"Sigh."

Chen Yi, sitting beside Chen Miao, sighed softly, his face showing helpless irritation as he put an arm over his son’s shoulders and said, "Your mom’s brain is a bit off. I wonder if all women are like this."

"I’m the owner of this universe. This whole universe is mine. All the skincare products I give your mom are top-notch. Just look at your mom: could you say she doesn’t look like an 18-year-old girl when you glance at her?"

"But this is what happens. Every day she talks about how old she is, as if she won’t be old unless she’s three or four. Right now, I’m in a good mood. If I weren’t, I’d give your mom such a punch that she’d reincarnate, let her really be young again."

"Um..."

Chen Miao was momentarily at a loss for words, not quite sure how to respond. It seemed he might have some misconceptions about himself, since his father appeared to be the real foul-mouthed one.

At that moment—

Lord Miao, as if presenting a treasure, pulled out a necklace from her bosom and handed it over: "Auntie, this is a necklace I prepared for you. I hope you like it."

"Oh, how thoughtful."

Jiaye happily put the necklace around her neck, and a servant, knowing what was expected, handed her a mirror. Jiaye looked at the necklace in the mirror, nodding and unable to let go: "It’s so beautiful. My daughter-in-law has such good taste."

Lord Miao was her first daughter-in-law.

She really liked her very much.

Unlike her eldest son, Chen Yue, who wasn’t married yet, she hadn’t expected her second son to be the first to start a family. And as for her youngest son, whom she had yet to meet, who knew when he would get married. Well, that boy was probably still some distance away from adulthood.

Speaking of which, why did she always have boys? She somewhat wished for a girl.

She obviously didn’t lack necklaces, but this one was a gift from her daughter-in-law, naturally making it all the more dear to her.

...

Meanwhile, Chen Miao, sitting to one side, felt nothing but pride inside. There were no other thoughts. They had been brought here suddenly by his father. Lord Miao had no time to prepare a necklace in advance.

That necklace was probably something bought on a whim and kept in the backpack, unused until now—fortunately, it ended up being a timely gift.

Just then—

Jiaye suddenly slapped her forehead, realizing something, with a flash of apology on her face: "Look at me, I’m being a bit slow. Did I forget something important? Is my in-law’s mother still waiting outside the banquet hall?"

"Quick, someone fetch my in-law’s mother."

Lord Miao also showed a flicker of embarrassment on her face. She knew for sure that the aunt and uncle couldn’t possibly have forgotten since Yi had mentioned that when they found them, they learned nearly everything that had happened in their world.

This naturally included—

after her death.

Her parents, worried that Chen Miao would come to climb her family tree, had always deliberately ignored him, resulting in the current awkwardness. She had only learned of these things after returning to Blue Star.

Her aunt and uncle clearly held some responsibility for the situation, otherwise, they would not have allowed her parents to enter the banquet hall only at the end. They certainly wouldn’t forget such a thing; if they did, the servants would remind them.

Soon—

A couple of middle-aged spouses, looking somewhat at a loss, were led in by the servants. Upon seeing Chen Miao and the others, they wore fleeting looks of embarrassment and said in a low voice, "Chen Miao, it’s been a while."

"What an odd thing to say."

Chen Miao sat on the chair, legs crossed, casually clipping his toenails and replied indifferently, "If I remember correctly, this is our first meeting, so there’s no ’it’s been a while’."

He could understand Lord Miao’s parents.

After all, their own daughter had died and lived with a man for decades in a dream. Back then, he was powerless and without status, and Lord Miao’s parents, who had some influence in Jingjiu City, naturally feared he would climb up and become a poor relative to them.

But understanding is one thing, and it doesn’t mean he didn’t feel resentful. For instance, at the very least, they couldn’t publicly declare that he, Chen Miao, had no relation with their family, could they? It made it seem as if he had tried to cling to them and been pushed away.

If it weren’t for Lord Miao’s sake, he would have stormed their doors immediately after they made that declaration.

"Um..."

The embarrassed couple turned their heads to look at Jiaye and Chen Yi, "It’s good to see you, in-laws, erm... how about we kowtow to you? We did indeed make a mistake before."

The man, who had intended to say some perfunctory words, thought long and hard and decided that nothing he said was appropriate. He opted for a more drastic approach and was about to kneel on the ground to kowtow to the two men.

"Hey, hey."

Chen Yi quickly came forward to help the man up, smiling kindly, "We are of the same generation, and I surely cannot accept this. It wouldn’t be proper for our in-laws to kowtow on their first visit, and the Chen Family would not want to lose face over such a thing."

"Let’s put the past behind us."

"The child is still young and should endure some hardships. What’s more, you neither killed nor hit him; you just disowned him, which is quite normal and completely understandable. Now, isn’t everything resolving nicely? The two children truly love each other, and as their parents, we naturally want to consider their feelings."

"That’s the right idea," Jiaye said with a smile as he pulled the middle-aged woman to sit beside him. "Let’s not dwell on the past; if you hadn’t brought it up, I would have forgotten all about it."

The middle-aged woman laughed dryly a few times, feeling awkward and unsure of what to say next. She hadn’t brought it up; they were the ones who had. If they really had forgotten, could she even mention it?

Complete bullshit!

A bunch of hypocrites!

"..."

Chen Yi’s smile suddenly froze on his face, turning to look at the middle-aged woman, and after a long silence, he said with a complicated expression, "Well, in-laws, this is our first real interaction, and there may be things we both don’t understand about each other."

"Erm, has my son told you that I, Chen Yi, can hear what others are thinking in their minds?"

"Ah?"

Chen Miao was stunned, a hint of shock flickering in his eyes. Father, you never told me this! The ability to hear others’ thoughts is a bit too outrageous, isn’t it?

Wait, he hadn’t thought anything strange just now, had he?

The middle-aged woman, trying not to believe it, counted silently in her mind: one, two, three, four, five.

Without any expression, Chen Yi softly said, "One, two, three, four, five."

The woman, as if possessed, tried to count silently in her mind again: hoeing the weeds under the midday sun.

"Hoeing the weeds under the midday sun."

Chen Yi repeated softly once more.

The woman’s previously dry smile now completely stiffened on her face, and without another word, she attempted to kneel down on the spot, "Please stop, in-law. I must kowtow to you this time, as a thanks for your son’s life-saving grace to my daughter. If it weren’t for your son, I wouldn’t have been able to see my daughter."

The middle-aged man standing next to her now looked somewhat helpless, knowing without having to think that his wife must have been muttering complaints in her heart that the in-law overheard.

It’s insane how an in-law could even possess such an ability to eavesdrop on thoughts.

Too bizarre, too...

Oh, no, too magnificent. In-law, you have my greatest admiration; you are the strongest.

The middle-aged man, who had been distracted, suddenly realized he might have said the wrong thing and hastily corrected himself in his mind, noting that it was his first time experiencing his thoughts being heard by someone.
