He had been training for 2 years straight now, but hardly noticed the time pa.s.sing by. It was quite normal for immortals to lose sense of time, especially when they were in closed-door training.

Luckily, immortals didn't truly need food to sustain themselves unlike the mortals. Otherwise, they would have since long perished by famine.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door and shouted.

"Young master! Clan Head and Vice Head have returned!"

Yang opened his eyes and jumped out of his bed. Excitement coursed through him as he ran out of his room and grabbed the servant.

"Really?"

The servant nodded in confirmation.

In a flash, Yang disappeared from the scene as he flew with maximum velocity towards the main hall in the Fire Palace. There he saw his mother in the middle of hugging his father and his uncle watching silently.

"Dad! Uncle!" Yang spread his arms around his parents.

"Son!" Magma called out as he moved his arm to also envelope Yang.

"Hey rascal! Aren't you going to give this uncle a hug too?" Blaze exclaimed with an accusing voice.

Yang looked over at Blaze and shook his head in defiance.

"You rascal!" Blaze pointed at him and walked forward to hit him.

"Mom! Dad! Save me!" The young Fire G.o.d laughed as he evaded the strokes from his uncle while still hugging his parents.

"Come here and obediently receive your beatings!"

"Mom! Dad!"

"Brother-in-law, let him go, will you?" Ember released herself from Magma and pulled her son behind her back.

Blaze snorted before commenting.

"Sister-in-law, that rascal still owes me a hug. When that debt is paid off, I might consider it." He gave a deep vengeance filled glare to his nephew, which caused Yang to shy away.

Ember sighed and patted her son's head.

"Yang Yang, don't be stubborn now. Your uncle only wants a hug. He has almost died outside, so don't you think he deserves one?"

"Died?!" Yang left his mother's protection and embraced his uncle instead.

"Uncle, you almost died?"

"Yes, you rascal." Blaze hit Yang lightly on his scalp.

"Not only I, but also your father almost perished."

"Really?" Yang saw the confirming nod from Magma and realized that his family had truly been in a risky situation.

"What happened?"

"Let us talk while eating. I am so looking forward to sister-in-law's self-made dishes."
