She Shocks The Whole World After Retirement

Chapter 317: Is the Human Heart Too Complicated, Or Are Monsters Too Pure?

Lin Jiansheng and Kong Qing did not deliberately lower their voices, so Yu Huang naturally heard them.

She turned back to look at Kong Qing and then at Lin Jiansheng’s appearance. Naturally, she noticed that the two of them looked somewhat similar. Yu Huang slowed down her pace and walked to Lin Jiansheng’s left.

She carried the pet in Lin Jiansheng’s left arm away. As she stroked the soft and smooth fur of the pet, she whispered to Lin Jiansheng, “I don’t know if my eyes are playing tricks on me. When I look at Kong Qing, why does he look a little like you?”

Lin Jiansheng glanced at Kong Qing and remained silent.

Yu Huang naturally guessed the cause of this matter. She said, “Kong Qing’s features are based on your looks, right?”

Lin Jiansheng snorted.

Yu Huang said again, “Even your own child probably wouldn’t be as similar to you as Kong Qing is. Look, you might as well just be a bachelor. Why don’t you take Kong Qing in as your son? One doesn’t have a father, and the other doesn’t have any children. Isn’t that good?”

Lin Jiansheng glared at Yu Huang. “Who makes fun of their mentor like you do!”

Yu Huang’s right hand circled around Lin Jiansheng’s back and patted Kong Qing’s back. Kong Qing immediately turned to look at Yu Huang. Yu Huang winked at him and said, “Call him daddy.”

Kong Qing silently wrapped his arms around Lin Jiansheng’s neck and shouted in a childish voice, “Daddy!” His voice was clear and without hesitation, making Lin Jiansheng’s scalp tingle.

Lin Jiansheng blushed and muttered, “Don’t call me that! Don’t listen to Yu Huang!”

Kong Qing stubbornly shouted again, “Daddy.”

Lin Jiansheng pretended to be deaf and pretended not to hear anything.

The three of them walked southeast for half a day and finally arrived at Kong Qing’s house.

There was also a small hill at the bottom of the Broken Cliff. Kong Qing’s cave was halfway up a small hill. The terrain here was higher, and the resentment aura was not as strong as at the basin at the foot of the mountain.

But it was also gray.

There were a few flower pots outside the cave of Kong Qing’s home. The pot was made of human skull and contained a handful of soil. Inside the pot was a plant that looked like a lot of meat.

Yu Huang narrowed her eyes and stared at those plants. She said, “Mentor, what kind of plant is this?” Yu Huang had lived for two lifetimes, but had never seen such a thing.

Lin Jiansheng picked up a bone flower pot and stared at the succulent plant for a moment before saying, “This is a lotus flower. It only grows in places with the densest soul energy. This kind of thing is an excellent tonic for nourishing the soul.”

“But this thing has long gone extinct.” Lin Jiansheng asked Kong Qing, “Where did you find it?”

Kong Qing pointed at the basin at the foot of the mountain and said the most horrifying words with his most innocent appearance: “Under the pile of bones, they’re everywhere.”

Yu Huang recalled the scene of Kong Qing rummaging through the pile of bones to find the lotus flower. She instantly felt her blood run cold. This child grew up playing with bones. How terrifying.

“I see…” Lin Jiansheng was about to put down the lotus flower when Su Tingxue, who had been sleeping for several days without making a fuss, suddenly spoke.” I want the lotus flower! ”

Lin Jiansheng stopped playing with the lotus flower and asked Su Tingxue in his mind, “You already have the Spirit Nurturing Drum.”

“The lotus flower can help me recover my spiritual power faster. Tell the little guy that we want as much as he has.”

Lin Jiansheng thought about it and said to Kong Qing, “Kong Qing, let’s make a deal.”

Kong Qing stared at Lin Jiansheng with a pair of clear, jade-green eyes while waiting for him to state his conditions. Lin Jiansheng said, “Ten lotus flowers for a jar of sweet potato syrup. I want as many of these flowers as you can find.”

Kong Qing’s eyes brightened. He nodded vigorously. “Okay!”

Yu Huang could guess the reason why Lin Jiansheng wanted this item. “Is it for Senior Su?”

Lin Jiansheng, not wanting to explain in detail, replied vaguely, not wanting to explain in detail.

Yu Huang clicked her tongue twice and placed her spirit sword on her shoulder. As she walked into the cave, she said, “You seem to be in love recently. When we leave Broken Cliff, you will have a son and a wife.”

Lin Jiansheng suddenly blushed and scolded Yu Huang, “What nonsense are you talking about?!”

“I’m spouting nonsense? Mentor, the way you listen to Senior Su’s every word makes you look like a henpecked man.”

Lin Jiansheng thought about it carefully and did not retort.

Su Tingxue heard Yu Huang’s words and said to Lin Jiansheng, “Be good and help me to be reborn. When I’m reborn, I’ll get you any beauty you want.”

Lin Jiansheng instantly narrowed his eyes. He stared at the cave entrance and said thoughtfully, “Really? Get me whoever I want?”

Su Tingxue snorted lazily and said proudly, “I, a Purifying Spirit Grand Master, never go back on my word.”

“Alright then, I hope you will remember what you said.” Lin Jiansheng rubbed his bald head and narrowed his eyes. He looked very mischevious.

The light in the cave was very dim. Yu Huang took out the pale blue Night-Luminescent Pearl that Na Luo had given her. The dim space became much brighter due to the existence of that beam of light.

Yu Huang used the glow of the Night-Luminescent Pearl to finally see the interior of Kong Qing’s home.

His cave was very spacious. A corner of the room was filled with things collected from the Broken Cliff. There was a stone bed near the north wall.

A petite skeleton lay quietly on the stone bed.

Kong Qing saw Yu Huang staring blankly at the skeleton and said, “That’s my mother.”

Kong Qing said he had to hug his mother’s skeleton to sleep. It was all true.

Yu Huang’s heart ached.

This child…

Kong Qing said, “After dark, the Broken Cliff is more noisy. Do you want to stay in my cave and leave tomorrow morning?”

Yu Huang asked curiously, “Noisy?” There wasn’t even a shadow of a ghost under the cliff. How could they cause a ruckus?

Seeing that Yu Huang knew nothing about the Broken Cliff, Lin Jiansheng smiled cunningly. He undid the zipper of his jacket and sat down on a stone bench. He said to Yu Huang, “It’s very cold here. Ah Huang, go and gather some firewood.”

“Okay.”

Without looking back, Yu Huang left the cave obediently to pick up firewood.

Kong Qing chased to the entrance of the cave and watched as Yu Huang left. He turned around and said to Lin Jiansheng, “You can’t run around after dark. She will die outside.”

Seeing that Lin Jiansheng did not react, Kong Qing continued, “None of those who accidentally entered the Broken Cliff could survive the first night. Aren’t you afraid that Yu Huang will die outside?”

Lin Jiansheng shook his head and said, “She’s here to gain experience in the Broken Cliff, not to travel. How can she break through if she’s not in a desperate situation?”

Kong Qing opened his mouth. After a long while, he muttered softly, “It’s so strange. Your words are clearly vicious, but your soul is still pure white.”

“Humans are really strange.”

Some people said sweet words, but their souls were black. Some people sounded heartless, but their souls were pure white.

Were human hearts too complicated, or were monsters too simple?
