Demon Summoning Sect, Nieyin Altar.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and crows cawed noisily, flying over the Taoist temple ahead, their pupils reflecting the waterfall not far away.

Although it was winter and water was scarce, the waterfall still flowed down, faintly tinged with blood.

“Join me in worshipping the Ancestral God.”

The Demon-Calling Holy Child took the lead, carving a piece of flesh from his arm and throwing it into the pool.

“Worship the Ancestral God!”

The Demon Summoning Cultists were all devout.

Emmmm.

Actually, providing the power of all living beings didn't require carving out flesh; this was suggested by the Saint.

After all, they were a Demon Summoning Sect, and this added to the atmosphere.

Moreover, people often believe more deeply in things for which they have paid a price....

Within the waterfall, three shrines were enshrined, and the statues within them bore a slight resemblance to those in the Ying Family Old Residence. These were the three founders of the Demon Summoning Sect, and also the deities that generations of Demon Summoning Cultists had to believe in.

Legend has it that their origins were even older than the Great Shang Dynasty.

“Saint! Ancestral God Manifestation!”

At this moment, a Dharma King beside him suddenly pointed at the waterfall and exclaimed.

Hmm?

The Demon-Calling Holy Child suddenly raised his head and looked at the leftmost shrine within the waterfall, which was now emitting a faint light.

“Dream God, it’s the Dream God......”

The Dream God had been dormant for many years, not even absorbing the power of all living beings, as if it had completely vanished.

But today, there was a response once again!

“Where is the power of all living beings converging?”

The Demon-Calling Holy Child quickly asked the Dharma King beside him to sense it.

The latter was silent for a moment, then opened his eyes and uttered three words:

“Eastern Wasteland Region!”

......

Qinghe County, Li Family.

Li Mo felt a suffocating sensation. His head buzzed as he looked up and realized where he had slept—in the Ice Cube’s arms.

Ying Bing’s eyes were tightly shut, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and a faint glimmer could be seen.

He remembered what had just happened.

He had entered the Ice Cube’s dream, seen the Ice Cube’s parents, seen that terrifying Year Beast, and even seen the little Ice Cube, and even tricked her into calling him Gege....

But Li Mo was a bit confused.

Why did that Year Beast find the Ying Family ten years ago and kill everyone in the Ying Family?

And why did it remain like a shadow even after ten years?

“......”

Xiao Li was silent for a moment, deciding that these unanswerable questions could be temporarily set aside.

Because if his parents saw him in this position, hiss.......

And the Ice Cube should also remember everything that happened in the dream....

Li Mo glanced at Ying Bing.

The dream had shattered, but she had consumed a lot of Yi Soul just now, so she should truly be asleep this time.

“Go back first.”

Li Mo stood up. It was almost dawn, and he decided to go back to his own room first.

However, as soon as he stepped out, his footsteps paused. His Yi Soul sensed something.

That’s right.

Guess what a coincidence.

In the dark garden, two sneaky figures were approaching his room.

It was Old Li and Xueqin, and they were almost at Li Mo’s °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° door. If he went back to his room now, he would definitely be caught red-handed. frёewebnoѵēl.com

No sooner said than done.

The Genius Xiao Li instantly remembered his newly acquired Divine Ability.

Incarnation!

He returned to the Ice Cube’s room, steeled his heart, and painfully plucked out a strand of his hair. Then he felt his Yi Soul instantly empty, a slight sense of emptiness, but he could clearly feel the existence of that hair.

And he could also attach True Essence to it and control its rise and fall.

At the door of the room.

The couple looked at the pitch-black door, unable to see anything with their naked eyes, and couldn't help but feel suspicious.

“Husband, is Xiao Mo inside?”

“I don’t hear any breathing, but Xiao Mo is now a Guan Shen Realm Martial Artist. His Realm is higher than mine, so it’s normal for me not to sense him.”

“Then should we... go in and take a look?”

Gu Xueqin looked inside, but unfortunately, the room was backlit, and the bed was blocked by a screen.

The couple respected their child’s privacy very much and had never secretly entered their son’s room.

“Then I’ll go in and take a look.”

Li Dalong crossed his arms, his face in the darkness filled with seriousness:

“If that brat suddenly wakes up, I’ll pretend I went to the toilet and took a wrong turn on my way back to the room.”

As expected of him, like father, like son.

Unfortunately, while the couple whispered, they didn't notice a strand of hair floating in through the window and landing on the bed.

Li Dalong entered the room, walked behind the screen, and then saw his son lying properly on the bed.

His breathing was very light; you really couldn't hear it without getting close.

“.....”

“Could it be that my sixth sense is wrong?”

Li Dalong took a quick look, didn't linger, and quietly walked out again.

“How was it?”

“That brat is in his room.”

“Alright, then let’s go back and rest too.”

Gu Xueqin nodded, relieved, yet inexplicably feeling a little disappointed.

Li Dalong glanced at the wing-room where Ying Bing stayed, but he still felt something was off.

“Wife, you go to sleep first.”

.....

At the same time, in the wing-room.

Li Mo, lying beside the Ice Cube, relaxed his mind and quickly stopped the Incarnation Divine Ability. He was only at the Guan Shen Realm now, and having just come out of the Ice Cube’s dream, maintaining it was quite strenuous.

Ying Bing’s breathing beside him had steadied.

“She seems to be sleeping this soundly for the first time.”

Li Mo quietly watched her sleeping face for a while, and his eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

The System sounded a prompt at this moment. freēwēbnovel.com

But the world is vast, and sleeping is paramount. Li Mo hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time. The night was only so long, and after the Ice Cube, there was still Princess Xiao Jiang waiting in the World Seed.

“I’ll look at it tomorrow...”

As he thought, Li Mo fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.

He didn't know how long he had been sleeping in a daze.

When he opened his eyes again, the window paper was already illuminated by the morning light. The Li Residence was quiet; it sounded like it was just morning.

“Hmm? This isn’t my room....”

Li Mo yawned, only then realizing that he was too tired last night and had slept directly here at the Ice Cube’s place.

Taking advantage of his parents not being awake, he got up and pushed the door open.

“Brat!”

A figure leaped out of the bushes, it was Li Dalong, his face serious.

“!! Dad, why are you here?”

Li Mo’s body trembled.

Li Dalong squinted:

“You brat, I finally caught you, huh? Still trying to escape your dad’s fiery eyes. I felt something was off when I passed by this morning. Why are you in Xiao Bing’s room?”

“Eh? Is this the Ice Cube’s room? I went to the toilet last night, did I go to the wrong room?”
