Free Web NovelMany years ago, when Lu Yibei was still in elementary school, the length of day and night was still normal, urban legend usually only existed in stories passed down by word of mouth, and the area around the elementary school gate was still lively after dark.
Around nine o'clock in the evening, the small shop located on the long slope at the school gate was still lit. Elderly men and women who had just finished their square dancing passed by the shop, full of energy and with radiant faces, their eyes uncontrollably drawn to the two outstanding-looking young men.
One of them wore a rather flashy floral shirt with the collar slightly open, a style popular at the time, the "bad man" look.
The other was completely opposite, looking gentle and refined, his deep eyes full of warmth and calmness, his whole person like ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) a rolling white cloud in the sky.
The two sat on the bench at the small shop, drinking orange soda, like a vivid picture of black and white clashing, drawing frequent glances.
Looking at them.
The elderly women would think, it's a shame they're already married, their children are already so big.
The elderly men would think, what handsome young men, only slightly less handsome than when I was young.
...
"Hey, Xiao Bai, did you know, raising a child is really troublesome..."
"Hoo—!"
Bai Kai drank the orange soda in the glass bottle in one gulp, let out a long sigh of relief, turned his head to look at the boy on Lu Ming's shoulder, rolled his eyes, not hiding his disdain.
"I told you not to let your lower body run wild, or something would happen sooner or later, but you didn't listen! How about now? You avoided the zombie nurse, dodged the fierce female police officer, politely refused the intellectual female teacher, and in the end, didn't you still fall?"
"Now you know that a four-legged gold-swallowing beast is hard to raise, huh? I can only say, you deserve it!"
Lu Ming squinted at Bai Kai, his gaze dropping from his face all the way to his crotch, and said with a pout, "Bai Kai, I don't think you're qualified to say that about me, are you?"
Bai Kai stiffened his neck and retorted indignantly, "Can I be the same as you? All of yours are pure love, but with me, I have everything except pure love, and I don't get serious feelings at all!"
"Speaking of which, how great would it be if you came to work with me at Old Man Liu's place? You wouldn't have caused so much trouble."
Old Man Liu's full name was Liu Wei. He was a lone Psychic and a partner in a certain nightclub, whom the two Senior Brothers met while resolving the first urban legend attack incident when they had just returned to Hua City from the Gobi Desert.
After resolving the urban legend incident, Old Man Liu extended an olive branch to these two young men, who were quite outstanding in appearance and build, inviting them to work at the nightclub, performing but not selling themselves.
Bai Kai gladly accepted the olive branch and became the human gold signboard of the nightclub.
Lu Ming wanted to accept, but a certain heroine interfered, knocked him out and took him home, and then... then gave birth to a "cub".
Lu Ming was silent for a moment, gave an noncommittal bitter smile, then changed the subject and said wistfully, "Xiao Bai, I don't want to hunt urban legend anymore."
Bai Kai was stunned for a moment, then realized and said in surprise, "What? What else can you do if you don't do this?"
"Wait!" He suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked Lu Ming up and down. "Don't tell me you think that now that woman is dead, you're free and can mess around at Old Man Liu's place?"
"Although as a brother, I don't object to you doing that, and I even welcome it. It would be quite exciting for us brothers to roam the world together freely and unrestrained."
"But as an adult, I don't think you're suitable for that kind of work right now. It's not good for the child's growth."
"Do I look like the kind of person who would sell their looks?"
Bai Kai thought seriously for two seconds, looked at Lu Yibei in Lu Ming's arms again, and nodded, "Very much so! And the type that would accidentally throw their whole life away."
Why does he always think I was tricked? That was clearly true love! Lu Ming muttered inwardly and decided not to dwell on this issue with Bai Kai.
"I plan to become a chef. Anyway, my family has inherited skills, and I can start operating after renovating the old house."
"Damn! Your family's inherited skills, is that for people to eat? Or... are you planning to open a urban legend restaurant?" frёewebnoѵēl.com
"Selling everything, selling everything. Not making money when you can is inviting divine retribution," Lu Ming said with a chuckle.
"..." Bai Kai's lips were slightly parted, and many words of dissuasion flashed through his mind, but in the end, he just said lightly, "You're courting death."
"It is quite risky, so, Xiao Bai, I want to ask you for a favor." Lu Ming said, turning around and looking at Bai Kai with a serious expression. "If I end up killing myself one day, please help me take care of Xiao Bei."
Hearing this, Bai Kai glanced at the young Lu Yibei with a look of disdain. "What else?"
"He's your son with that woman. You can't possibly have no expectations for his future at all, right?"
"Don't you want him to become the strongest Psychic and unify the Southwest? This is actually quite simple to do."
Lu Ming was silent, shaking his head.
"Then... become immensely wealthy, the richest in the area? This might be a bit difficult, after all, neither of us is very good at making money, but if we get Old Man Liu to handle it, it's still feasible."
Lu Ming shook his head again, and then, before Bai Kai could speak further, he said calmly, "I just want him to grow up healthy and live a happy life."
After hearing this, it was Bai Kai's turn to fall silent. He silently fumbled in his pocket for a while, unhurriedly took out a cigarette case, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled smoke rings.
"Very difficult..."
"Hmm?"
Bai Kai glared fiercely at Lu Ming, grinding his teeth and saying, "I said it's really hard to let someone live a happy life! Lu Ming, you're digging a pit for me!"
A smile as warm as a spring breeze appeared on Lu Ming's face. He patted Bai Kai's shoulder, and seeing this, Bai Kai suddenly felt like running away.
"You, what do you want to do? I warn you, don't mess around!"
This Senior Brother of his was full of mischief. Every time he showed this kind of smile, someone was bound to suffer, and because of his gentle and refined image, everyone thought he was a "good person".
There were no other people or urban legend here, so the one who would suffer could only be him.
"I didn't want to do anything! I just wanted to say, Xiao Bai, you have to work hard in the future!"
"Hey—!" Bai Kai stared at Lu Ming for a few seconds, and then let out a long sigh as if deflated. "If you do this, what if Master brings Xiao Hua to your door to find a fiancé in the future?"
"That's a problem..." Lu Ming cupped his chin, pondered for a few seconds, and said seriously, "At that time, I'll tell Master that I gave birth to a daughter, and she can't be husband and wife with Xiao Hua, only sisters."
"You dare to deceive Xiao Hua's feelings? If Master knew you did this, you'd be peeled alive even if you didn't die!" Bai Kai said, rolling his eyes.
"It's okay, Master can't beat me now!"
"..." Bai Kai was silent for a while, looked at the young Lu Yibei, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. "Aren't you afraid that I'll kill him sometime? He's that bad woman's son."
"You won't."
"How do you know I won't?" Bai Kai pouted.
"Because..." Lu Ming opened his mouth, just about to say something, when at that moment, Lu Yibei in his arms gently twisted her body and slowly woke up.
She opened a pair of eyes completely untainted by time, so clear they seemed to purify one's soul. She looked around blankly for a while, finally her gaze settled on Bai Kai, and she grinned.
"Hehe~ Godfather! Hug!"
In an instant, Bai Kai felt his heart almost melt, and a smile unconsciously spread across his face. He picked up Lu Yibei and turned to walk towards the small shop.
"Xiao Bei, be good, come and see, tell me whatever you want to eat, Godfather will buy it for you!"
"Xiao Bai, children can't eat too many snacks, you can't..."
"Get lost!" Bai Kai glared at Lu Ming out of the corner of his eye. "I'm talking to our son, you don't get to butt in!"
"Want ice cream?"
"Yes!"
"Anything else?"
"This one, this one, and this one..."
"Alright, boss, I want everything he chose, give me a bag to put them in!"
Lu Ming, "???"
Is that my son or your son? Aren't you a gigolo? Why are you acting like a human trafficker?
...
In the deep mountains hundreds of kilometers away from Hua City, a figure surrounded by silver light sped through the forest, suddenly stopped, and stood on top of a protruding giant rock.
Then the light dispersed, and a man with a flamboyant demeanor gradually revealed himself.
"Strange, why did I suddenly remember things from so long ago?" Bai Kai tilted his head and muttered to himself.
"Thinking about it now, how cute Xiao Bei was back then! Now she doesn't even want to call me Godfather. Is her rebellious adolescence lasting a bit too long?"
As he spoke, he looked into the distance towards Hua City, hundreds of miles away, and subconsciously stroked the core of the Ifrit urban legend entity in his arms, his expression sinking.
Old Lu, don't blame me for not keeping the promise. This is Xiao Bei's own choice. Even if I don't help her, she will find someone else to help her with this.
Instead of letting others mess around, it's better for me to help him choose a urban legend entity core suitable for his Spiritual Energy potential to draw the Spirit Mark.
You probably didn't expect the world to become like this now, did you? The world is full of urban legend now. As long as you have Psychic potential, how can you live a happy life? Bai Kai thought.
In fact, before going to the Gobi Desert this time, he was still hesitant because of the promise he had made, but... how should I put it?
After all, his Master was his Master. That night, they slept in the same bed and talked by candlelight, and he was enlightened by Master's words.
...
At that time, the old man said, "There's an ancient poem that I think is very well written. The poem says,'Since coming out of the cave, I have no rivals; where you can spare someone, spare them.' This sentence means..."
Before the old man finished speaking, Bai Kai eagerly said, "Master! I understand! Your meaning is, only by making Xiao Bei invincible in the world can she make choices and be happy, right?"
"No, my meaning is..."
"I understand, I understand. After your reminder, I am truly enlightened. You are right, drawing a Spirit Mark for Xiao Bei does not conflict with happiness, and even complements it."
"I..."
I meant to say, you should let Xiao Bei come into my cave and cultivate until she is invincible before going out, and stop harming my granddaughter!
And so...
Master was almost angered to death by Bai Kai.
