Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1323 - 241:

Tan Wenbin closed his eyes again.

The two children lay on the bed, one holding Tan Wenbin's left shoulder and the other holding the right.

Perhaps sensing the day of separation growing near, the two children's hands clung more tightly.

Since their birth... no, they were never truly born, as they were extracted from their mother's womb before forming, used as materials for creating cursed infants.

It was Tan Wenbin who showed them this world, or rather, Tan Wenbin was their world.

...

In the Peach Forest under the night sky.

Run Sheng didn't exert full strength, neither did the White Crane True Monarch. Since it was just a spar, the goal wasn't victory, but rather to adjust and harmonize with oneself.

Yet, they could still sense changes in each other.

Run Sheng noticed Lin Shuyou's aura had become more prolonged; without time constraints now, the child's power usage became more even and rational, no longer pursuing quick success.

The White Crane True Monarch also sensed Run Sheng's moves becoming more fierce. Run Sheng, known for endurance in the past, now seemed like a fierce monster in human skin.

After fighting for a while, the White Crane True Monarch felt a stinging sensation at every contact point, as strands of evil Qi pierced his body like silver needles, disrupting the flow of power within him.

This wasn't Run Sheng's deliberate act; it was the natural trait of the evil Qi on him driven by the Qi Gate.

The White Crane True Monarch decided to stop, signaling he wouldn't fight anymore, as continuing would require him to spend the night expelling the lingering evil Qi from his body, which was quite troublesome.

However, at this instant, the child's mind shifted, and they immediately said:

"No more, no more, fighting with a natural talent like you is senseless, it's truly unfair, to think I was once known as the prodigy among officials!"

All around, peach blossoms were falling.

The child felt a burst of joy, believing they had struck the right chord.

Yet, the next moment, the peach blossoms turned sharper, falling like vicious knives.

The White Crane True Monarch dared not scatter the peach blossoms with his fists, fearing it would be seen as further provocation, so he covered his head and bolted out of the forest in a most embarrassing manner.

Once outside, Lin Shuyou checked the cuts of various sizes on himself, none severe, but they added up to pain and discomfort.

Lin Shuyou: "What are you doing?"

Child: "I was just stroking it along its temper, who knew it would flip out like that."

Lin Shuyou: "Its temper?"

Child: "Isn't that how everyone else stroked it?"

Lin Shuyou: "The same thing makes Brother Xiao Yuan happy not because of the act itself, but because he is Xiao Yuan."

The child was left speechless, realizing that the divination child was right, the facts did prove it.

Run Sheng came out of the Peach Forest, holding a piece of wood.

The wood looked very smooth and round.

Lin Shuyou: "What is this?"

Run Sheng: "Picked it up from the Peach Forest, perfect to replace the handle of my shovel."

"Watch out!"

Yin Meng's voice came through.

A cloud of insects buzzed rapidly toward them, each carrying luminous spots, clearly poisoned.

To prevent accidents, Yin Meng practiced within the Array, but as soon as she tried to add toxicity to the poisonous insects, an accident occurred.

When the toxic insects collided with the Array's interface, it created an opening, letting the following ones rush out from that hole.

Run Sheng opened his arms, intending to compress the surrounding air with the Qi Gate to restrain the insects.

Lin Shuyou, with his Shuping activated, pointed a finger skyward, summoning tridents made of phantom images.

With a flick of his hand, the tridents fell like those earlier peach blossoms, crossing and colliding in the insect swarm, unleashing a chain of divine power explosions.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

All the insects were killed cleanly, leaving only multi-colored poisonous mist dispersing.

Lin Shuyou retracted his hand with a spontaneous laugh: "Haha!"

This was not the child's skill, but an insight Lin Shuyou gained from the falling peach blossoms.

He was worthy of the title prodigy among officials, previously overshadowed by his continuous reliance on and pursuit of the Yin God's power, his genius unnoticed.

"Child, how was it?"

The child remained silent.

"Child, say something, how was it?"

The child was still silent.

"Give some feedback or improvement suggestions, it's my first self-created skill after all."

The child finally spoke:

"That flattery, not bad."

...

Perhaps knowing he would be leaving home again, Li Zhiyuan awoke with greater anticipation for the morning as he opened his eyes.

The youth opened his eyes, slowly turning his head.

Today, Alii was dressed in white, simple and serene.

The boy was growing up, and so was the girl; after all, girls generally mature earlier than boys.

The little girl who used to perch her embroidered shoes on the threshold, sitting all day, now exuded a heroic spirit. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Previously, he hadn't felt the changes deeply, but as Li Zhiyuan recalled the scene of their first meeting, a sense of time flying by despite cherishing it overwhelmed him.

Yet this emotion came quickly and went just as fast; rational thinking made it clear that excessive sadness was pointless, so it was best to continue cherishing the present.

Li Zhiyuan got out of bed and walked over to Alii.

Alii looked down at her attire, then lifted her gaze to the youth, as if seeking his opinion.

When Li Zhiyuan had shown a liking for the qun with horse-face pleats, Liu Yumei had designed over ten outfits for her granddaughter to wear interchangeably.
