1325 Words
Yuan Liong, who was thrown by the impact of the Snake Demon's tail, still managed to protect the body's important organs with internal power. His body was thrown and crashed into a large tree, exhaustion, and poisonous air drained internal energy, all of which caused Yuan Liong to fall unconscious.
Humans are indeed extraordinary creatures, who can eat everything and can think with common sense. Humans are amazing and strong creatures don't give up, it's just that humans' weakest point is when they fall asleep or faint.
Just like Yuan Liong, he was currently at his weakest point. If someone or a beast had killed Yuan Liong, it was now as easy as turning a palm.

“Liong‘er!”
“Liong‘er!”
“Wake up my son! It's noon, are you going to keep sleeping and don't want to help your father who is gardening in the backyard?” His mother's voice, Xie Sian Li woke Yuan Liong up in the early morning.
Slightly yawning, rubbing his eyes, Yuan Liong woke up, on the side of Yuan Liong's bed was a middle-aged woman, showing the remnants of her youthful beauty standing, smiling gently at Yuan Liong.
With a bit of laziness, Yuan Liong got up and got up from the soft bed. Pay attention to the place, this is a house in the Valley of the Lightning Mountain. Hastily he ran into the kitchen and saw the woman who had woken him was cooking.
“Ah! It's Mom! That's right Mother!” thought Yuan Liong, he swiftly ran and hugged the Mother
“Mom!”
“Mom is still alive!” Yuan Liong said, sounding directly in the middle-aged woman's ears.
“Ouch! Liong‘er, what are you praying for? You are praying for your mother to die soon! You're behaving strangely again, just woke up saying things you don't want.”
“Wash your face there! Then help your father grow crops in the back garden!” the middle-aged woman ordered.
“Okay, Mom!” Yuan Liong obeyed and quickly kissed his mother's cheek.
Yuan Liong ran to the back garden, where he saw a handsome and dashing middle-aged man farming. In the corner of the garden, two bunches of tubers were neatly arranged ready to be brought to the market.
“Liong boy! you just woke up now, it's almost noon. Now that you take these two sacks of fruits and tubers that Father has picked to the market in a nearby city, I estimate that you will arrive in Xia Yu City in half a day's journey.”
“Ouch! Young people today wake up late! Don't you realize that if you wake up late, your sustenance has been pecked by a chicken!” grumbled the father, as he continued to work.
“Here are two pieces of silver as travel expenses, and rent a wagon to make your journey easier!” Yuan Liong's father continued, handing him two pieces of silver.
Afraid of being scolded continuously by his father, Yuan Liong took two burlap sacks containing their garden produce. Put in the cart, and don't forget to say goodbye to mom and dad. Pulling the wagon, Yuan Liong rushed down the Lightning Mountain Valley. He wanted to immediately sell his father's garden.
At the foot of the Mountain, Yuan Liong rented a horse cart. Using a horse cart, the speed of the journey was exactly as his father had said, only half a day's journey.
It was already evening, when Yuan Liong arrived at Xia Yu City, right in front of the City gate, already waiting for Xia Yu City's regular merchants. These traders, accommodate the goods brought by the farmers who raise livestock and garden in the mountains around the City.
From a distance, a shop lord intimately greeted Yuan Liong. “Liong boy! What did uncle order yesterday, did your father prepare?” A Sam asked.
The merchant who greeted Yuan Liong familiarly was named A Sam, he was the one who always faithfully bought every Yuan Liong's belongings to Xia Yu City, Yuan Liong used to call him Uncle Sam.
Because it was night, Yuan Liong was forced to stay at Uncle Sam's house, Uncle Sam has an adopted daughter who is very beautiful like an angel, Lan Mei is her name, Lan Mei has long loved Yuan Liong. That night, Yuan Liong and Lan Mei talked about many things.
Yuan Liong and Lan Mei's rare opportunity that night was used very well, they expressed their love for each other, and Yuan Liong even promised to ask his father to propose.
The next morning, Yuan Liong returned to Lightning Mountain Valley, Yuan Liong always did the same routine every day.
The days passed, filled with joy and happy laughter with mother and father.
It didn't feel like days turned into days, months turned into months and years turned into years, Yuan Liong's age at that time was twenty-one years old, he kept his promise to propose and marry Lan Mei which was well received by Uncle Sam.
Yuan Liong's life continues with happiness and peace, accompanied by a beautiful wife like an angel, completing his life with two beautiful and cute children. Uncle Sam's shop has also grown rapidly, since being managed by Yuan Liong.
Yuan Liong's life is getting better day by day, and the level of wealth is also very abundant. It doesn't feel like the passage of time continues, Yuan Liong's children, who used to be small, have now become handsome and beautiful young people.
That's how time is running fast, Yuan Liong also continues to be lulled by a comfortable life without conflict, filled with happiness. At that time, he had become an old grandfather, the courtyard of the hall was bustling with his grandson running cheerfully.
His wife had always accompanied Yuan Liong faithfully. That day, Yuan Liong was already at the end of his twilight, about eighty years old, he stammered said to his wife. “T-tell the housekeeper, to gather all the family members in the main hall, I will make a will before my death.”
Half an hour later, all the family members had gathered in the main hall, including his father and mother who were already very old. At that time, Yuan Liong's father and mother were already a hundred years old.
“Well! Since all the family members have gathered, I will immediately pass on the will so that you can listen carefully,” said Yuan Liong haltingly.
“First, be fair and help each other, brothers and sisters! All of you have equal rights to the family assets.”
“After my departure, it is your mother who will manage all the family property. Your mother is still strong and young at heart! Ha ha ha.”
“Khuck!”
“Khuck!”
“Khuck!”
In his old age, Yuan Liong could still laugh which then ended with a small cough.
“Fine, that's my will! I want you to obey with all your heart, and not to fight over one another's possessions. Remember! The property will not be taken to death.”
“You can all go back to your activities! Right now, I just want to have a conversation with my beloved mother.”
That's how Yuan Liong ended the will, Yuan Liong's children and grandchildren immediately left the main hall, leaving only Yuan Liong with his mother.
Taking a breath and calming down, the aura that Yuan Liong gave off became different, then he said, “Dear mother! Who are you? I enjoyed this game for almost eighty years, ha ha ha.”
Every word and tone of voice that Yuan Liong issued was completely different from the tone of the will earlier, Yuan Liong's tone this time was smooth and clear, there was no sound of an old man who would die at every word.
