“When did he leave?”
Ying Bing sat up, finding her side empty. She looked around the room filled with morning light, which was so bright that it was hard to open her eyes.
It should be past mid-morning now.
She knew that Li Mo had entered her dream last night.
In fact, when Li Mo was painting for her, she had already woken up, but she subconsciously deceived herself in front of those blurry memories from the past.
Now, the hazy memories in her mind were erased, and everything in the dream came vividly back to her.
The serious person who called himself her brother.
The disaster beast who visited ten years ago.
And the contented and joyful looks on her parents’ faces as they dispersed.
“Observation Realm Six Apertures…”
Ying Bing found that her realm had increased, yet she didn’t feel particularly elated about it.
She sat at the tea table, bathed in the sunlight, brewing a cup of clear tea, and quietly gazed at her reflection in the water.
Her clear phoenix eyes were slightly red, with a hint of confusion.
Herself.
She seemed somewhat different?
In the past, her childhood memories were always vague, but at this moment, they were vividly present.
Moreover,
The words her parents said before the dream faded, clearly went beyond the scope of what could exist in a dream…
A flurry of thoughts flashed through her mind, but she couldn’t quite figure out whether this was due to her rebirth or something else.
After a while, Ying Bing picked up the teacup and took a sip.
She recalled the words her parents said in the dream.
“The dream will eventually end, and if it’s a good one, then it’s fine.”
After drinking the tea, Ying Bing returned to the bed and squatted down.
Under the bed, there was a box she had long forgotten, which had been left there all along.
The box was covered with thick dust and wasn’t locked.
“I remember now.”
“I wasn’t always alone on my birthdays before. At least not when I was at Li Mansion.”
“A long time ago, every birthday, I would have a birthday gift.”
Snap—
The box opened, and the dust made the dazzling sunlight ripple.
Dolls…rattle drums…silver bells…all were objects that little girls would like.
These lost beauties were once again dyed with warmth by the sunlight after many years.
“On each of my birthdays when I was young, he would give me one of these.”
Ying Bing’s eyes lowered, softening her features, making her appearance even more radiant.
…
At the same time.
In the Li family hall, a three-party hearing was being held!
Li Dalong sat at the dining table, holding a flower bun, and drank some bitter melon rib soup. His serious expression made him look like a stern judge.
Lady Xueqin crossed her arms, rarely showing such a scrutinizing gaze at her precious son.
“Gulp…”
The prisoner, Little Li, swallowed his saliva.
This scene hadn’t appeared in a long time.
His parents’ education had never been strict; it was more of a happy upbringing. He had never been suppressed since childhood, leading to a somewhat unpopular childhood for Little Li.
When he really did something wrong, like writing characters on the teacher’s face,
His father, Li Dalong, would step in, spank him, play the bad cop, and then let his mother comfort him, telling him gently not to repeat it next time.
Red face white face paired with big stick and sweet dates ensured he remembered for a long time.
It was rare for the Li family to have both parents punishing him together; the last time was when Li Mo was ten, stealing money from home to buy a pipe to try smoking…
Snap—
“Prisoner!”
Comrade Dalong used the flower bun as a bench, slamming it on the table, solemnly saying:
“Do you plead guilty?”
“Dad, why does it feel like we’re interrogating a prisoner…”
“Be serious. This is an interrogation. Don’t call me dad. If what you did is true, there’s a possibility of being executed for the greater good!”
Normally, parents would be delighted if their son started courting someone, but this wasn’t the case for Little Bing.
They were entrusted by the Ying family before their d*ath to the Li family, treated like a daughter. It was naturally beneficial for the two children to be together, but only under proper circumstances.
“It’s just…”
Little Li wanted to argue, but seeing his parents’ scrutinizing eyes, he became uneasy:
“Just… dual cultivation, doing a dream together…”
“What kind of nonsense is this?”
“Dual cultivation?!”
Li Dalong and Gu Xueqin widened their eyes.
Li Mo saw this and knew the couple must have misunderstood, but it wasn’t their fault. After all, this kind of thing usually happened to flower thieves, whom his father had caught several times, practicing the ‘dual cultivation’ martial arts of absorbing yin energy to supplement yang.
“Not what you think…”
“I don’t care what kind it is. Bring him down and give him fifty lashes first!”
“Dad, Mom, do you understand spiritual communication and consciousness resonance? Oh, you’re far from the Observation Realm, maybe you don’t fully understand this…”
“????”
“Wife, roar in court, shall we add another fifty lashes?”
The scene became chaotic for a moment.
But it quickly quieted down.
Li Mo turned around and noticed Bing Tuozi crossing the hall threshold, her eyes slightly red and her black hair not tied up.
Bing Tuozi, usually cool and aloof, looked a bit weary today, like a beautiful cat just waking up.
Li Mo tentatively asked, “How was your sleep last night?”
“Mmm…it was a good dream.”
Ying Bing thought for a moment and noticed Little Li’s unnatural expression, worrying that she might remember what happened in the dream.
She slightly furrowed her eyebrows:
“But, you lied to me last night. You’re a bad person.”
“????”
Li Mo’s heart finally settled.
Bing Tuozi indeed remembered.
And now, it wasn’t just a matter of remembering or not.
Stiffly turning his head, after his parents’ stunned expressions, the love in their eyes quickly vanished.
“Execute him! Drag him away and execute him!”
“Wife, go get the rolling pin, the thickest one!”
“!!!”
Li Mo leaned back tactically, feeling his scalp tingle.
The mighty God Hammer Little Overlord, who could strengthen his wife and cultivate souls, was ranked fourth in the Dragon Submergence Realm and had perfected his external training, even achieving the Vajra Unbreakable Body.
However, everyone knew that bloodline suppression wasn’t pain…
Fear!
“Bing Tuozi, say something!”
It clearly wasn’t like that!
