Chapter 550 Being Punished To Eat More During Dinner!
Right now, though Grandma Yan looked like how she would have been looking in her prime, Ye Qian could clearly remember how she looked when he first saw her after coming back.
Almost all of her hair had turned gray and her face was always gloomy, even her health seemed to be deteriorating, if it was not for him knowing her, Ye Qian might have already thought that she was close to her 70s.
While remembering how his mother was just a few days ago, Ye Qian's heart ached.
He understood that she might have also missed him a lot, and given that she didn't even know that he was alive or now might have been a really devastating blow for her.
It can be said that Grandam Yan was blessed as didn't break apart after all this and continued to be happy just for her grandchild while pushing the pain of the loss of her son.
Ye Qian just had the most pleasant sleep after all of these 5000 plus years.
All this long, he always had a restless sleep where he would hear his parents and Yuan Meng crying, along with them holding a small child in her arms who seemed to be calling him while crying a lot.
This all had created a shadow in his heart and had even led to Heart Devil sometimes which might have caused him to cause cultivation deviation.
It was due to the restless thoughts which would always be occupied in his mind.
Meanwhile, as Ye Qian pinched her cheek lightly, Grandma Yan could see the longing in Ye Qian's eyes.
Her head was right above his and she could sense the deep affection in her son's eyes for her.
She wanted to snap at Ye Qian for being lazy and not wanting to have lunch before, but seeing her son staring at her with a deep longing made her heart feel sad and didn't want to disturb him, afraid that he might feel bad.
After a few moments, Ye Qian smiled and took his hand back while giving a long sigh.
"I am sorry mom."
Ye Qian's eyes were a bit moist as he thought of the dream which he had just now, he had promised to never leave her and here he was leaving her for more than 5 years and she was in great pain just because of him.
"How can you say sorry to your mom, didn't I tell you, what has happened is done for, how long are you going to regret it, it will only make me feel sad if I see my son like this."
Grandma Yan said with a gentle smile as she fondled his cheeks.
"Now wake up, your dad and that little girl are still hungry."
Grandma Yan said with a light chuckle while pointing at the two people who were smiling at them.
But Grandpa Xiao's smile quickly vanished as Grandma Yan pointed at him.
"Hmm."
Ye Qian nodded and then pulled himself up from her lap.
After that, the group went to the dining room where Xiao Ya had already helped bring all the food and plates to the table.
There were a few talks and chuckles while Grandma Yan scolded Ye Qian for not eating much food.
"Little Qi see how skinny have you become all these years, eat all this or you will be punished to eat even more in the dinner, I have seen that you don't even eat as much as my granddaughters."
Grandma Yan said with a stern look while serving him more soup and fried rice.
It would not be a lie to say that Grandma Yan had made Ye Qian finish almost 40 percent of all the food alone.
But after hearing her say that he was not even eating as much as Little Qiqi or Little Jia, Ye Qian smiled wryly, he knew that the appetite of the two little girls had increased a lot but he would have never thought that his mother would point it out and then compare it with his appetite.
Ye Qian didn't know what to say.
If he wanted he could eat for a whole day non-stop and still won't be filled.
And all of that was because all the food which he would consume would be turned into dust after entering his stomach.
Given that Ye Qian was a cultivator whose body was still comparable with that of a Void Immortal, all he needed to do was to get the minuscule amount of spiritual energy while the rest would be turned into nothing.
And with the scarce Spiritual Energy which was on Earth, Ye Qian knew that there would be even a very tiny portion of it in all the food that they would eat.
And the more the food produced was from the chemical ways with the help of fertilizers and pesticides, the less Spiritual Energy they would have.
So it would not be bad to say that Ye Qian was only having lunch with his parents just for the sake of eating with them, the Spiritual Energy which he was able to absorb from the surroundings was almost the same as that of the food he would eat for 3 whole days.
"Mom..."
Ye Qian tried to say something but seeing the gloomy look on his mother's face, he didn't dare say anything.
It didn't matter if he ate a lot or not, but since his mother would feel happy it won't be of any harm to do so.
Seeing the scene where the magical guy was being forced to empty his plate by his mother, Xiao Ya giggled while silently eating her lunch.
Though she didn't know what was the reason behind Ye Qian's magical abilities, she knew that she didn't have the right to ask it nor did the person with whom Ye Qian might want to share something like that.
Grandpa Xiao was also the same silently having his fill.
