I Have an Immortal Emperor Uncle Who Farms at Home Chapter 3: Cure All Illnesses

At night, the villagers of Ping’an Village had already finished all their busy work. The village was now wrapped in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, with only occasional bursts of dog barking in the distance.

"Here, Nuonuo, have a big fish head. That way, you’ll become even smarter."

At the dinner table, Ye Fan picked up a piece of fish head and placed it in Nuonuo’s bowl.

"Thank you, Uncle!" Nuonuo took the fish head and then looked at Ye Qingcheng, who was smiling beside her, and sweetly said, "Mama, you should eat too. Uncle’s cooking is so delicious today."

"You little foodie, then eat more if you like it!"

Ye Qingcheng looked at the joyful scene in front of her and couldn’t help but feel touched.

It had been a whole year since she’d felt this way. Ever since Ye Fan mysteriously disappeared a year ago and then suddenly reappeared a month ago, she hadn’t experienced this kind of happiness for a long time.

Ye Fan watched his sister silently smiling and not saying a word. He asked curiously, "Sis? Sis?"

"Huh? What is it?" Ye Qingcheng came back to her senses and responded.

"What were you thinking about?" Ye Fan asked with a puzzled look.

"I was thinking… how have you been this past year? You left so suddenly and didn’t even say anything to us. Do you know how worried we were?" A faint trace of complaint crept into her tone.

Ye Fan didn’t know how to respond. This was also the first time since his return that his sister had asked him about it.

If he said that he had been cultivating for tens of thousands of years in a fantasy realm and had just returned, she’d probably scold him to death. And if he made up a story, he’d at least have to make it sound believable.

After thinking for a while, Ye Fan casually came up with an excuse. "Uh, Sis, I’m sorry. Things happened so suddenly back then… I was sent overseas."

"Oh? You went abroad? What did you do there?" Ye Qingcheng immediately became curious after hearing that he had gone overseas.

"Sis, hurry up and eat. The food will get cold."

With that, Ye Fan quickly picked up a piece of fish and placed it in her bowl to change the subject.

Seeing that Ye Fan was avoiding the question, Ye Qingcheng didn’t press further. Since he didn’t want to say, he must have his reasons.

Ye Qingcheng picked up her chopsticks, but suddenly remembered something. She set down her bowl and chopsticks again, looked at Ye Fan, and said, "Oh right, Ye Fan, you’re only 18 now. I’m planning to send you to university."

"Sis, I’m not going." Ye Fan rejected the idea immediately without even thinking, and then added, "Besides, we don’t have much money at home."

What she didn’t know was that back in the fantasy realm, he had read millions of books already. He practically had a "book allergy." Making him go back to study that stuff now would be just as painful as killing him.

"Ye Fan, listen to me. In today’s world, if you don’t have some kind of degree or education, it’s really hard to find a good job."

"Sis, I just don’t want to go!" Ye Fan refused again.

Hearing this, Ye Qingcheng was momentarily stunned, then said, "Ye Fan, do you understand? Right now, you’re the only support your sister has left. I really hope you can achieve something great."

As she spoke, tears began to well up in the corners of her eyes. Ye Fan quickly reached out to wipe them away.

"Alright, alright, fine. Sis, I’ll go, okay?"

The mighty Immortal Emperor Ye, fearless of heaven or earth, actually feared nothing more than his family’s tears. If word of this ever reached his old friends or even enemies in the fantasy realm, they’d laugh their heads off.

Seeing Ye Fan finally agree, Ye Qingcheng smiled and picked up her bowl again to continue eating.

"Yay! Uncle is just like me, he’s going to get locked up too!" Nuonuo, who had been quietly eating, suddenly jumped up and shouted.

"Nuonuo, what are you talking about? Sit down and eat properly!"

Ye Fan, sitting next to them, burst out laughing. "Hahaha, Nuonuo is rebelling just like me!"

"Woof woof…"

Laiyang Town, Banzhu Neighborhood – Yang Lili’s Home

"Daughter, where did you buy this vegetable? It tastes so fresh and tender."

Yang Hu picked up the juiciest, biggest piece of cabbage from the dish and popped it into his mouth. While chewing, he couldn't help but praise it, "Mmm, the more I eat it, the better it tastes!"

"Wow, Father, you never seem to enjoy eating cabbage this much." Yang Lili asked in confusion.

She looked at the cabbage on the table and thought to herself, Is it really that good? Doesn’t it taste the same as always?

She then picked up a piece for herself. But the moment she put it in her mouth and started chewing, her eyes widened. It felt like the nutrients in the cabbage were moving and melting inside her mouth.

Seeing his daughter’s reaction, Yang Hu grinned, "Lili, how is it? Tastes pretty amazing, doesn’t it?"

"It really does taste amazing. This cabbage is more delicious than any vegetable I’ve ever had."

As she spoke, Yang Lili grabbed another piece and stuffed it into her mouth.

Seeing this, Yang Hu quickly stopped her: "Hey, hey! Lili, stop eating! If you eat it all, what am I supposed to eat?"

"You old man, you’re not young anymore and still competing with your daughter over food?"

At that moment, a middle-aged woman walked out from the kitchen, holding a bowl of cucumber and century egg soup.

"Mom, you have to try this too. This cabbage is unbelievably tasty!" Yang Lili said while chewing, pointing eagerly at the cabbage dish.

"Sweetie, slow down. Be careful not to choke." Zhang Mei chuckled and shook her head. Then she picked up a piece of cabbage herself, curious to see whether it really tasted as good as the father and daughter claimed.

Yang Lili and her father kept their eyes fixed on Zhang Mei, eagerly waiting for her reaction.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Mei began chewing the cabbage, her expression mirrored Yang Lili’s.

"This… this cabbage is really delicious!"

"Hahaha, right? Didn’t I say it’s tasty?" Yang Hu laughed and continued, "Come on, honey, sit down and let’s enjoy it slowly."

Zhang Mei sat down on the chair beside Yang Hu and, as she settled in, asked with concern, "By the way, old man, how’s your leg doing?"

"Ah, it’ll probably take a few more days. I already reported it to my boss. He agreed to let me rest at home for a while longer," Yang Hu said in a low voice while gently touching his injured thigh.

A week ago, while transporting company goods, Yang Hu had been shot in the left thigh by a man dressed in black, which left a lingering issue in that leg.

Thankfully, the injury hadn’t affected any bones or nerves. He just needed some time to recover at home. But he hadn’t told the full truth about it, only saying he got hurt by accident.

"Alright then, just stay home and focus on getting better," Zhang Mei said as she picked up a piece of cabbage and placed it in Yang Hu’s bowl with care.

"All right, you two enjoy the rest of the food. I’m going to lie down for a bit."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Hu slowly stood up. Zhang Mei quickly got up as well to help support him.

But just as Yang Hu stood up, he froze in place.

"Old man, what’s wrong?" Zhang Mei asked with concern.

But Yang Hu didn’t respond.

"Old man, what’s wrong? Say something!"

Yang Lili, startled by her father’s behavior, also got up and moved beside him. "Father, what’s going on?"

Still, Yang Hu said nothing. He simply stared in astonishment at Zhang Mei and Yang Lili.

Then, as if something unbelievable had just happened, he exclaimed, "This... this can’t be!"

His words only made Zhang Mei even more anxious.

"What do you mean ‘this can’t be’? Just tell us already, you’re driving me crazy!"

Yang Hu turned to Yang Lili, then pointed at the plate with the remaining bit of cabbage and asked, "Lili, what did you say this cabbage was?"

"Oh, that cabbage? Ye Qingcheng’s daughter said it could cure all kinds of illnesses," Lili replied with a chuckle. "What? Father, don’t tell me you believe that too?"

"I didn’t before, but now I do," Yang Hu said as he let go of Zhang Mei’s arm and tried walking like a normal person.

"Old man, be careful! You might reopen the wound!"

But the next moment left both women completely stunned. Yang Hu wasn’t just walking, he was moving around, even jumping a little. His movements were more agile than most young people.

"Hahaha! This is nothing short of a miracle!" Yang Hu laughed to himself, completely caught up in the moment, not even noticing the shocked expressions of his wife and daughter.

Seeing this, Yang Lili could only trust what her eyes were showing her.

"Could it really cure all illnesses?"
