Ying Bing sat up, the space beside her empty. She looked at the room, bathed in morning light, shining so brightly it made it hard to open her eyes.
It must be well past sunrise by now.
She knew that Li Mo had entered her dream last night.
Actually, when Li Mo was drawing for her, she had already woken up, but facing those blurry, beautiful memories from the dust of time, she subconsciously lied to herself.
Now, the haze in her memory was wiped away, and everything from the dream vividly reappeared before her eyes.
He, who seriously tricked her into calling him ‘Brother.’
The Disaster Beast that came ten years ago.
And the relieved and joyful eyes of her parents as they faded away.
“Guan Shen Realm Six Apertures...”
Ying Bing found that her Realm had increased, but she didn't seem to feel overly ecstatic about it.
She sat down at the tea table, bathed in the sunlight, and brewed a cup of clear tea, quietly gazing at her reflection in the tea.
Her clear Phoenix eyes were a little red, carrying a hint of confusion.
Herself.
She seemed a little different?
Previously, her childhood memories had always been very vague, but at this moment, those memories were vivid and clear.
Moreover.
The words her parents spoke in the dream, before the dream dissipated, clearly exceeded the scope of what could exist within a dream...
Conflicting thoughts flashed through her mind, but she still couldn't figure out whether this was due to her Rebirth or something else.
After a while, Ying Bing picked up the teacup and took a gentle sip.
Her parents’ words from the dream appeared in her mind.
‘Dreams always end, as long as it was a beautiful dream.’
Ying Bing drank the tea, then returned to the bedside and squatted down.
Under the bed was a box she had forgotten for a long time, always kept there.
The box was covered in dust and wasn't locked.
“I remember now.”
“I wasn't alone on every birthday before, at least... not when I was in the Li Family.”
“A long, long time ago, I used to get birthday presents for every birthday.”
Clang—
The box opened, and the dust caused the dazzling sunlight to ripple and swell.
Cloth dolls... rattles... silver bells... inside were all items a little girl would love.
These lost beautiful things, after many years, were once again bathed in the warm colors of sunlight.
“He would give me one for every birthday when I was little.”
Ying Bing’s eyes lowered, her brows softened, making her face glow even more beautifully.
...
Meanwhile.
In the Li Family main hall, a three-person interrogation was in session!
Li Dalong sat at the dining table, holding a steamed bun, and took a sip of winter melon and pork rib soup. His serious expression made him look like a stern old master.
Ms. Gu Xueqin stood with her arms crossed, her usually gentle demeanor uncharacteristically stern, scrutinizing her precious son.
“Gulp...”
The accused, Xiao Li, swallowed hard.
This kind of scene hadn't appeared for a long time.
His parents’ education towards him had never been strict; it was a happy education, never suppressing his nature from a young age, which led to Little Li’s childhood being somewhat disliked by both people and dogs.
When he did make mistakes, such as writing characters on his teacher’s face,
It was always his father, Li Dalong, who would step forward, spank his bottom, play the bad cop, and then have his mother come to comfort him for a while, gently telling him not to do it again next time.
The good cop, bad cop routine, with a stick and a sweet date to make him remember, and then it would pass.
It was rare for the Li family to have a combined husband-and-wife beating; it could be counted on one's fingers. The last time was when Li Mo was ten, and he stole money from home to buy a pipe, wanting to taste what dried tobacco was like...
Clang—
“Criminal!”
Comrade Dalong slammed the steamed bun on the table like a gavel, and said sternly:
“Do you plead guilty and submit to the law?!”
“Dad, why are you acting like you’re interrogating a criminal...?”
“Be serious, I’m interrogating you! Don’t call me Dad. If what you did is true, I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of righteous extermination of kin!”
Logically speaking, when their son starts to court a girl, the parents’ first reaction should be happiness.
But Little Ice Cube was different.
She was entrusted to the Li family by the Ying Family couple before their deaths, and they regarded her like their own daughter. It would, of course, be a good thing if the two youngsters got together and became even closer, but that was only under legitimate circumstances.
“It really was...”
The accused, Xiao Li, initially wanted to be stubborn, but facing his parents’ scrutinizing gazes, he said nervously:
“It was just... Dual Cultivation, like having a dream together or something...”
“What do you mean?!”
“Dual Cultivation?!”
Li Dalong and Gu Xueqin widened their eyes.
Li Mo saw this and knew the couple had definitely gotten the wrong idea, but he couldn’t blame them. After all, this term usually appeared in connection with flower thieves, and Dad had caught several who practiced ‘Dual Cultivation’ martial arts that involved taking yin to supplement yang.
“It’s not what you’re thinking...”
“I don’t care what kind it is! Guards! Drag him out and give him fifty lashes first!”
“Dad, Mom, spiritual communication, Yi Soul resonance, do you understand? Oh, you’re a bit far from the Guan Shen Realm, so you might not quite understand this aspect...”
“?????”
“My dear, he’s shouting in court. How about another fifty lashes?”
The scene was utterly chaotic for a moment.
But /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ then, it fell silent in an instant.
Li Mo turned his head and saw Ice Cube stepping over the threshold of the main hall. Her eyes seemed a little red, and her dark hair was not tied up.
The usually cool and aloof Ice Cube looked a little tired today, like a beautiful cat that had just woken up.
Li Mo tentatively asked, “How did you sleep last night?”
“Hmm... it was a beautiful dream.” ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Ying Bing thought for a moment and noticed Xiao Li’s slightly unnatural expression, as if he was worried whether she remembered what happened in the dream.
She slightly furrowed her delicate brows:
“But you tricked me last night. You are a bad person.”
“???”
Li Mo’s hanging heart finally died.
Ice Cube really did remember.
And now it wasn’t just a matter of remembering or not.
He stiffly turned his head. After their initial shock, his parents’ paternal and maternal love quickly vanished from their eyes.
“Execute him! Drag him out and execute him!”
“My dear, go get the rolling pin, the thickest one!”
“!!!”
Li Mo leaned back defensively, feeling a tingling sensation on his scalp.
The dignified God Hammer Little Overlord, Wang Qi Dou Hun, Hidden Dragon Fourth, with perfected external martial arts and even Indestructible Diamond.
But as everyone knows, Bloodline suppression isn’t about pain...
It’s terrifying!
“Ice Cube, say something!”
Things clearly weren’t like that!
