Chapter 2342: When My Parents Come Back?
Yi Liang felt too sleepy, so he laid down on his bed and under the blanket with his clothes on.
Ning Shu curled up at the foot of the bed and began to cultivate.
In this cruel world, she must be powerful enough to protect Yi Liang and herself.
The room was completely silent, except for the whistling of the cold wind outside the window. It was blowing into the room through the gap in the window.
“Little fox,” Yi Liang suddenly said.
Ning Shu whimpered. Yi Liang’s voice suddenly choked. He turned, still laying on the bed, and looked at Ning Shu.
“What should I do when my parents come back? When they hear that my sister is gone, how sad would they be?” Yi Liang’s voice sounded very sad in the darkness.
“I shouldn’t have gone to the mountain that day and left my sister at home alone.”
Ning Shu wanted to ask about how long Yi Liang’s parents had been gone. She also wanted to ask about what his parents did and how long his sister had been missing.
However, all that came out of her mouth were whimpering sounds.
If Yi Liang’s wish was to find his family, Ning Shu might not be able to fulfill it. In this big world, it’d be hard enough to find one person, let alone several people.
The world was so vast that she couldn’t even imagine it.
Yi Liang talked on. Ning Shu whimpered occasionally in reply, indicating to him that she was listening.
Ning Shu wanted to extract some useful information from Yi Liang’s words.
She listened to Yi Liang while breathing in spiritual energy.
From his words, she learned that Yi Liang’s father was a doctor and that his mother was actually a cultivator.
Apparently, Father Yi had encountered a demonic cultivator on the way to see a patient and that cultivator had captured Father Yi and his apprentice. When Yi Liang’s mother heard about this, she told Yi Liang, who was only seven years old at the time, to take good care of his sister, and that they’d be back soon.
It had been five years since then.
Yi Liang took care of his five-year-old sister, waiting for the time their family would reunite, but he lost his sister when she was eight.
Usually, since he’d always been alone, Yi Liang behaved like a mini adult, but now that he had someone to vent to, he started crying as he told his story.
It was terribly sad.
Even now, Yi Liang was still holding on to the hope that his parents would one day come back. In his heart, he also still felt guilty about his sister.
Ning Shu sighed inwardly. Yi Liang’s parents were most likely dead. How could Yi Liang not realize this himself? He was just deceiving himself.
As for Yi Liang’s younger sister, she was probably either kidnapped or ran out to play. She probably didn’t have a much better end.
An optimistic guess would be that perhaps, some experts took a fancy to Yi Liang’s sister’s spiritual roots and took her into the cultivation path. Otherwise, then she was probably reduced to a bad place.
Ning Shu actually had an even worse guess. Since Yi Liang’s mother was a cultivator, her daughter likely inherited her mother’s roots, and… was the best candidate for being a cultivation furnace.
In the process of collecting yin to replenish yang, it was of course better to use another cultivator. Ordinary women’s bodies would not be able to endure the ravaging of male cultivators. The effect would also not be necessarily good.
Ning Shu saw that Yi Liang didn’t have any cultivation skills, nor did he cultivate. Since his mother was a cultivator, why wasn’t he taught how to cultivate by her?
Did he not have any spiritual roots?
Ning Shu had many questions in her mind.
Yi Liang fell asleep crying, even sobbing as he dreamt.
Ning Shu stayed up and cultivated all night. She also used some spiritual energy to heal the wounds on her body.
She waited until it was dawn.
Then, she lightly jumped onto the bed and looked at Yi Liang. His face was stained with tears, but he was very sound asleep.
Ning Shu then jumped out of the bed and got through the dog hole in the fence of the yard. She ran for a while to the back mountain.
Ning Shu’s gray body looked even darker and dirtier against the backdrop of the white snow.
