Chapter 43

After Goku Jr. accidentally grabbed Son Goku's tail and conceded, he removed his mask to reveal his identity, much to everyone's surprise, and then had a brief chat with Son Goku and Master Roshi.

After Goku Jr. returned to the Other World, Fortune Teller Baba found the location of the Dragon Balls for Son Goku. Son Goku, unable to contain his excitement, flew off. However, he soon flew back amidst everyone's conversation.

"Did you find it?" Jing Tian asked.

"Yeah, I found it. It's still with the same group of people who stole the Dragon Balls from us last time. I gave them a good lesson and came back," Son Goku replied.

"Oh, they really haven't changed," Bulma said angrily upon hearing Son Goku's words.

"Are you planning to summon Shenron now?" Jing Tian asked.

"Hmm..." Son Goku looked at Upa and then said, "I think I'll take him to Karin Tower first before summoning."

Without waiting for anyone to say anything, he put Upa on the Flying Nimbus and flew straight to Karin Tower.

"Such an impatient one..." Master Roshi said helplessly.

"This kid is indeed remarkable. One day, he will save the world," Fortune Teller Baba said mysteriously.

"What? Save the world?" Launch and Krillin exclaimed in unison.

"Yep, I saw this through my divination. Of course, if a certain lazy person gets involved, it might be different..." At this, Fortune Teller Baba subtly glanced at Jing Tian.

Seeing the meaningful look in Fortune Teller Baba's eyes, Jing Tian rolled his eyes...

In the midst of everyone's idle waiting, Goku returned after about two hours.

The impatient Muten asked, "How did it go? Did the child's father come back to life?"

"He's back!" Goku replied happily.

After receiving everyone's praise, they watched as Son Goku casually ran to the side to urinate, and everyone muttered helplessly, "Can we really rely on such a guy to save the world..."

Bulma asked Goku if they would continue searching for the Dragon Balls next year, and Goku told her that they had already caught the Dragon Balls before they flew away, so they wouldn't need to search next year. They also needed to prepare for the next World Martial Arts Tournament.

At this point, Master Roshi approached Goku and said, "You don't need to train with us anymore. I have nothing more to teach you. You should go out and broaden your horizons."

Goku listened to Master Roshi's long speech with a blank expression, then agreed to follow his advice.

Jing Tian thought for a moment and said, "Goku, if you grow taller in two years, come to West City and I'll give you some training."

He then turned to Krillin and Launch and said, "You two should come as well."

Master Roshi thought for a moment and nodded, "That's a good idea. You two can train with me for the next two years, and if I think you've made enough progress, you can go train with Jing Tian."

After everyone agreed, Master Roshi whimsically told Son Goku not to use the Flying Nimbus but to run for exercise.

After seeing off Son Goku, everyone had to run back to Roshi Island due to Master Roshi's quirky decision.

Jing Tian didn't want to suffer along with them and quickly bid farewell to Master Roshi. Bulma, under the silent threat of blonde Launch, agreed to take her back to West City.

After saying goodbye to Master Roshi and the others, Jing Tian, suppressing his excitement, didn't wait for Bulma to bring out the flying car. With a thought, he lifted Bulma and Launch, put up a protective shield, and sped off towards West City...

Two months later, Jing Tian, lying in bed with Bulma in his arms, said helplessly, "I was only gone for an instant... Time stops for me when I leave, so for you, I was only gone for less than a second..."

Bulma, understanding the truth but still feeling uncomfortable, said gloomily, "Bastard, couldn't you have left secretly and then come back? You had to tell me, making me feel so uncomfortable..."

Jing Tian smiled bitterly and looked at the sleeping black-haired Launch on the other side. He whispered, "Alright, after we get back, I'll find some techniques to strengthen your bodies. That's the important thing."

Bulma hugged Jing Tian tighter and asked, "Are you really not going to tell Launch?"

Jing Tian, feeling helpless, said, "The black-haired one wouldn't understand, and the blonde Launch would surely get restless and follow. It's better not to tell her..."

Bulma nodded in agreement and then warned playfully, "You're not allowed to bring any more sisters back from other worlds, or I'll definitely get angry!"

Jing Tian quickly promised, "Okay, okay, okay, whatever you say. I'll find the techniques and come back, and I won't interact with any other girls, alright?"

"Um~~~ But I still feel uncomfortable. Can you stay a few more days?" Bulma pouted.

Jing Tian, finding Bulma's behavior somewhat amusing, shook his head and gently removed her arms from around him. He thought, "Since time stops when I leave, this could go on forever. Better to leave quickly..."

With a thought, he appeared in the space, immediately stopping the time progression of the Dragon Ball world. He gently looked at Bulma, who was still surprised in bed, and the sleeping Launch, then disappeared from the space...

The light in front of him brightened, and Jing Tian, looking at the bedroom he had left three years ago, felt extremely uncomfortable.

Breathing in the stale air, hearing the noise outside, and seeing the outdated furniture, Jing Tian, who had become accustomed to the high-tech homes in the Dragon Ball world, felt like he had returned to a primitive society.

His eyes inadvertently swept over the perpetual calendar on the wall, and he paused. After calculating the time in the Dragon Ball world, he understood.

It seemed that his space wasn't a time stop, but rather one day in the real world corresponded to one year in the space or the fantasy world.

This also explained why his initial time experiments felt like a time stop. The experiment was too short to notice any changes...

Jing Tian thought for a moment and decided to stop paying attention, as it didn't really affect him.

Finding his phone on the bedside table, he checked it. Fortunately, no calls had come in during the three days. He then decided to focus on the important tasks.

Feeling somewhat out of place, he opened the door, locked it, and went downstairs.

He casually took off, but as soon as his feet left the ground, he immediately controlled himself and landed...

Jing Tian wiped the sweat that quickly appeared on his forehead and looked around nervously. Fortunately, he hadn't flown too high, so it looked like a normal person jumping...

Feeling helpless, Jing Tian again felt out of place... He looked at his multifunctional wristwatch and sighed. He had to go back home, as such high-tech items couldn't be discovered...

After carefully thinking about what habits he needed to change, Jing Tian facepalmed and turned to go back to his room... "Damn, I forgot my wallet..."
