Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

Chapter 115 He's Not Getting any younger! The Red Ribbon Army, the Homunculi

After bidding farewell to King Kai, Talot used teleportation to bring Seraril and Raditz back to Earth.

This happened right after Talot and the others left.

The Great King, located in the Great King's Palace, immediately noticed the disappearance of the three people's auras and revealed a half-smile.

Over the past month, he has been paying extra attention to Talott, Serarri, and Raditz.

Although their arrival did not change the situation on the Great Kaio Star much, the warriors' enthusiasm was revitalized by their arrival, and they were no longer as lifeless as they had been in the past.

"Super Saiyans, I wonder what level you will reach next time I come. If you really exceed my expectations next time, I will give you some pointers on your training."

As soon as he uttered those words, the Great Kaio laughed "Oh ho ho ho" and walked out of the room.

If the Four Realm Kings heard these words, they would be extremely shocked.

Because countless years have passed, the Great Kaio has never instructed anyone in cultivation.

In the past, the four Supreme Kais had considered having the Great Kais teach their galaxy's outstanding disciples, but they had never received such a request.

The Great Kaio has always brushed this matter off with a perfunctory attitude.

……

Earth.

Baozi Mountain.

It was noon, and the sun was high in the sky, hanging overhead.

As always, Gine was busy preparing lunch, while Son Gohan helped by tending the fire.

Despite having advanced kitchen tools, Gine and Son Gohan had always used a traditional earthen stove.

In comparison, food cooked in a traditional earthen stove is more fragrant and tastier.

Three and a half months have passed, and for them, the days go by one by one, and life is very ordinary.

It may seem like there's not much passion, but it has to be said that once you get used to a peaceful life, you gradually develop a special feeling that it's not so bad to keep going like this.

Especially those who have experienced great trials and tribulations, life and death.

Where is Sun Wukong?

He left Baozi Mountain more than three months ago for a world travel and spiritual practice, and has not returned since.

Sun Wukong was never one to stay still; he couldn't stay quietly in one place. Especially after experiencing the joy of adventure and embarking on the path of cultivation, his life changed just like the original character.

His pure and kind heart prevents him from overthinking things.

It is said that the reason Sun Wukong embarked on the path of cultivation alone was because he had no relatives left in the world.

Actually, that's not the case; Sun Wukong wouldn't consider that much.

After preparing the food, Gine said something to Son Gohan, and then ladled the dishes out of the pot.

With Gohan's help, the food was moved to the dining table.

The two had a simple meal, which had become a habit for them.

After years of getting along, it's like a father and daughter having a meal together—there's no awkwardness or distance between them.

Speaking of which, Son Gohan is really getting older and older.

Over the past ten years, he has almost reached the point of exhaustion.

If it weren't for Gine's excellent care, Gohan would probably have passed away long ago.

So, although Gohan's death in the original story was caused by Goku's Great Ape transformation, he actually wouldn't have had many years left to live even if he hadn't been trampled to death.

After lunch, Gine busied herself cleaning up the mess.

It was at this time that...

A whooshing sound rang out.

Talott, Serari, and Raditz suddenly appeared.

While cleaning, Gine noticed something and sensed three familiar auras. She quickly ran out of the kitchen.

Upon seeing the three people in the courtyard, a joyful smile appeared on his face.

"Latitz, Talot, Serari, you're back."

It's been more than three months since we last saw each other. Although we're used to this kind of thing, it's still a short separation after all.

The three greeted Gine and then went inside chatting and laughing. They also met Son Gohan and greeted him.

After explaining the situation, Gine understood the purpose of Talot and the other two returning this time.

Especially when she heard Talot and Raditz say that they would not be cultivating for a while and would be staying on Earth to live for some time, Ji Nei couldn't help but feel happy.

Over the years, the children have been working hard to improve their skills and have created one miracle after another.

But it can be said that they have never stopped shouldering the heavy responsibility of national rejuvenation.

As an elder, her mindset has been changing over the years, leading to her current state.

For her, it would be better if Talot, Raditz, and Serari could let go of some things so that she could relax a bit more.

However, she could only hint at it indirectly, and could not say it directly.

Now, this wish has been fulfilled.

With Talot, Serari, and Raditz returning, Gine enthusiastically began preparing food again.

At this point, Raditz and his group had indeed not eaten anything.

Even if I don't eat, I'm not hungry. But since I've chosen to take a good rest and immerse myself in the mundane life, I should do everything myself and do things that I didn't do before.

For example, even if you don't know how to cook, helping out is still a form of assistance.

The family was happy and harmonious.

Although Talot and Serari cannot be considered Gine's children, they are no different from her children.

Not only Talot, but also Raditz and Serari experienced the feeling of family affection more deeply in the process of helping others.

They never used to think about these little things, but now that they're actually doing them, it's much harder than they imagined.

Before long, Talot, having eaten and drunk his fill, prepared to head to the Western Capital.

Raditz and Serari naturally planned to go along as well, and even Gine agreed to come along after being persuaded by the others.

Speaking of which, Gine has always lived in Baozi Mountain, and at most she would go to nearby towns to stroll around. She rarely goes to big cities like Saito, even though Saito is where Bulma's family is located.

As for Son Gohan, he kept saying he was too old to move, leaving everyone feeling helpless.

There was nothing we could do but let Gohan be.

Talot had actually thought about his lifespan before, but he hadn't done anything about it. Now that he planned to spend some time peacefully, he also planned to go find Master Roshi in a few days.

After all, Gohan is Master Roshi's disciple. Although his longevity is a secret, Master Roshi would probably reveal some of the reasons for Gohan's long life so that Gohan could live on, and might even help his disciple achieve immortality.

……

"Raditz?? You're back!!"

Just as the group was about to set off for Xidu, a familiar voice called out, accompanied by the roar of a vehicle.

That bold female voice startled Raditz.

Talot, Serari, and Gine all turned to look at the source of the sound.

Then a blonde woman came speeding over on a specially made unicycle. It was none other than the blonde Lan Qi.

"Talot, there's no time to lose, let's go quickly." Raditz's lips twitched as he hurriedly urged.

He instinctively wanted to escape from here, finding Lanqi really troublesome.

"Wait a minute, Raditz. While you were away, Lanchi came to our house to see you quite a few times. I think a girl like Lanchi would be perfect for you. Why don't you try getting to know her? Besides, you're not getting any younger," Gine advised.

These words terrified Raditz even more.

That makes sense, though. Saiyans usually establish relationships very early on. After all, they are a minority group, and population is always a top priority for them. As long as they are capable of reproduction, they will reproduce.

Many women conceived as early as fifteen or sixteen.

However, there are very few Saiyans left now, and only these people remain. They have gradually integrated back into Earth. In addition, Talot made some euphemisms about their age, which has led to them not touching the forbidden fruit even though they are all over 18 years old now.

"Mom, aren't you setting me up? You know I'm not interested in women at all, and these Earth women are just too..." Raditz's rebuttal was only halfway through when Lanqi parked the car and ran to the crowd.

The once wild and reckless blonde Lanqi suddenly became shy.

This made Talot and Serari look at Raditz with smiles in their eyes, ready to watch this good show.

After greeting the blonde Ranchi, Ginevra gestured to Raditz, covered her mouth and chuckled, then fell silent.

Latitz, who was not good at communicating, looked to Talot for help.

In response, Talot gave Raditz a look that said, "Good luck."

Their eyes met, and Lan Qi clearly noticed. She pouted and said in an unyielding tone, "Are you planning to dump me again? This time you have to make things clear! You took advantage of me last time, don't think you can get away with it."

The blonde Lanqi's dominance has shattered Talot's worldview.

She was truly brave, gripping Raditz's arm tightly, determined not to slip away this time no matter what.

Raditz is no longer the Raditz from the original story, otherwise Launch might have really been killed by him.

Furthermore, in the original story, Raditz actually had a strong sense of racial prejudice.

For women on Earth, they would probably only be seen as reproductive tools.

Of course, things are different now.

"It seems you two need some time to talk things over. In that case, we'll head to Xidu first, and you two can enjoy your time together."

"Aunt Gine also said that Raditz is not a child anymore."

Talot spoke with a straight face, unaware that his words had dug a hole for himself.

Raditz was speechless and could only roll his eyes.

Helpless, Raditz had no choice but to agree under Gine's forceful pressure.

Watching Talot disappear before her eyes with Serari and her mother, Raditz was furious, but couldn't bring herself to do it.

It's all his fault for saving her back in the Demon City and taking advantage of her during the rescue.

Actually, he didn't do it on purpose, and he didn't care at all.

Of course, he didn't know that the blonde Lanqi was simply captivated by his handsome and imposing figure.

Just like how blonde Ranchi fell in love with Tien Shinhan in the original work.

It's only natural for women to admire strong men.

"Let me tell you, if you keep provoking me, don't blame me for really eating you. I'm a vicious Saiyan! I'm capable of anything," Raditz threatened.

To this, blonde Lanqi showed no fear whatsoever: "I'm actually afraid you won't dare to do anything. It's only because I've taken a liking to you that you're still here. Any other woman would run away from you like the plague. Besides, I'm incredibly beautiful; the men who want to date me could line up from here all the way to the foot of the mountain..."

Her arrogant and assertive words made Raditz swallow back the harsh words she had prepared.

As the saying goes, every creature has its nemesis. The unpredictable nature of the blonde Lanqi left Raditz with no choice but to passively accept it.

Actually, Raditz didn't dislike Lanchi, but he had never thought about things related to men and women.

Regardless, Lanqi is a great beauty.

……

at the same time.

Western capital.

They teleported to Bulma's luxurious manor at the West Capital Omnipotent Capsule Company.

Before Talot could speak, he suddenly felt a sharp gaze.

After feeling a chill run through him, he turned around and saw Serari staring at him with an extremely serious expression.

To put it simply, it's the gaze of death...

Talot felt a chill run down his spine. He recalled whether he had said anything strange earlier, then asked with a hint of wariness, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Upon hearing this, Seraphim stopped staring, though she still sounded a little annoyed: "Brother Talot just said that Raditz is getting on in years, but Raditz is the same age as us. So, Brother Talot isn't interested in me?"

Upon hearing this, Talot suddenly realized what was happening and immediately slapped his forehead.

His lips twitched; he hadn't expected Serari to question him like this.

"I was just joking with Raditz. Isn't that guy always so dense? It's just a nice touch of normalcy since Lanchi's here," Talot explained.

"But I feel like Talot is the real blockhead, or maybe he likes Bulma and doesn't like me at all, which is why he keeps rejecting me." Seraphim's resentful eyes gave Talot a real headache.

He was a complete novice when it came to relationships and didn't know how to date. Now, Serari had given him a real problem.

Gine, watching the two, laughed out loud. In his opinion, Talot and Serari were flirting.

"We Saiyans are simple-minded, and you two have been together for so many years. In the eyes of outsiders, you're practically a couple already." Gine's words made Talot and Serari blush.

Being exposed by an outsider, even if it was Gine who said it, was enough to make them embarrassed for a while.

"Ahem... Well, Serari, you're overthinking it. Don't worry, you'll always be number one in my heart," Talot said, as if making a guarantee.

Serarra's cheeks turned even redder.

Gine looked at Serari with a smile and didn't continue teasing him.

After a while, the three of them strolled through the manor's huge backyard.

Soon, they met Brif.

At this moment, Brif was conducting tests on some instruments.

Upon seeing Talot and his companions arrive, regardless of how long it had been since they last met, they launched into a rapid introduction, highlighting the continuous and rapid advancements in technology over the past few months.

This was all thanks to Slug's advanced spaceship.

Of course, the focus is on further upgrading the gravity training room. Not only has the gravity multiplier been increased, but the gravity room has also been equipped with attack robots that can withstand high-pressure gravity, as well as some auxiliary training tools and props.

This level of upgrade was something that Talot had only mentioned briefly at the beginning, but it was unexpected that it would be implemented so quickly.

In addition, their spaceships have naturally undergone further modifications.

Both the power system and the artificial intelligence operation system have completely broken away from the previous era and entered a brand new period.

The series of good news led Talot and the other two to repeatedly praise Brif's genius.

However, Brief said that Bulma did a lot of the work.

Shock was inevitable, even though Bulma's genius was undeniable.

Especially after the original storyline begins, Bulma continuously demonstrates her genius.

With Bryff's reminder, Talot and the others realized that all the improvements they made were to help Talot.

They arrived at the door of Bulma's laboratory.

This time, Serena didn't get upset again.

Firstly, Talot's earlier words acted as a reassuring anchor, putting her at ease.

Secondly, Bulma had been making quiet contributions, which made her very grateful to Bulma for always helping them.

Although she knew it was only for Tarot's sake, she had to admit that without Bulma, many things would have been quite troublesome and difficult to do over the years, and their strength improvement would have been affected.

In a sense, Serena has gradually become accustomed to having Bulma as their support.

Their relationship fluctuated between being on good terms and bad terms simply because they were vying for Talot.

Pushing open the laboratory door, you are greeted by an incredibly spacious laboratory space.

Bulma was operating at the central workbench, where countless mechanical devices and robotic arms were operating in an orderly manner under the control of intelligent systems and smart robots. Looking at it, it resembled a super-large factory that was ahead of its time, producing some special items.

Talot didn't know what research Bulma was doing, but he knew it must be extremely important.

"This is truly awe-inspiring. If I were in my previous life, I would probably be able to stand at the pinnacle of certain fields, with no one able to surpass me," Talot thought to himself.

In his previous life, before he transmigrated, although the level of technology in his world had been advancing by leaps and bounds, it was still far behind Earth in the Dragon Ball world.

……

PS: Chapter 2 is finally finished. As expected, romance has never been my forte, but I can't not write it. I can only improve little by little and write it lightly.

If nothing unexpected happens, there should still be one chapter in the morning and one chapter in the evening tomorrow.

Let's see how many words I can write tonight.

(End of this chapter)
