Chapter 142 The Ghost in My Heart. 5. Child's Sorrow.
Five years later, some people might have questions. The protagonist is still called Yu Lai, because Xue'er's consciousness was altered. By the way, let me mention here: the Water Kingdom has the most advanced culture.
Yu Lai, you should go to school today. Mom, I don't want to go. No, why not? You're still so young. How can you grow up if you don't learn? I just don't want to go.
What did you say? You have to go today. Whether you like it or not. Alright. The carriage is ready. Be sure to listen to the teacher there. Hmm, hmm, hmm.
That's so dismissive. This isn't good coming from your tone! If you dare cause trouble at school, you'll get a minor punishment. Hmm.
This is the classroom, and from now on I will be your teacher. He then wrote his name on the blackboard. Do you recognize him? Probably not. My name is Qian Yinghua. After a day, the lesson was finally over.
I hate going to school. I hated going to school even before I transmigrated. Luckily, time passes incredibly fast during cultivation. How fast? A whole class is over in the blink of an eye.
The teacher said in class that some monsters have recently entered the city. We must avoid going through the streets and alleys. Xue'er, can you detect their strength? It's nothing serious, just some elite-level monsters.
I only told you this because I was afraid of hurting you. It really can't hurt me. Unless they're in large groups, they can't harm me at all.
Dad, why do you look so worried when I get home? Recently, some elite-level monsters have entered the area. And the powerful ones are quite busy. So we had to use our army to suppress them.
But the bad thing is they're incredibly good at hiding. What kind of monster is that? It can hide so well. "Thousands of threads," Xue'er explains. Its body is composed of countless fine threads, like a spider web.
So they're especially hard to find during the day. And hard to find by firelight at night either. But those characters are really easy to fight. As long as there's fire, they can be burned to death.
I'm talking about elite-level fighters, not leader-level ones. After listening to it once, I feel like I could take on a whole group by myself. They're still quite troublesome.
If there are too many of them, they can stick together and trap you. But if I had fire on me, it wouldn't be a problem. Yes, fire would be much easier to fight.
But I don't think he was really thinking about that sentence. I could tell too. After all, he's someone who's lived for tens of thousands of years. He can understand the psychology of someone who's only lived for a few decades.
I'm not sure what he's up to. He's got something to hide. Forget it, why should I care? Are you really okay? You're so disrespectful, you're only five years old, how rude! Tch, let's go back inside.
You're so rude! I'm your father. Fine, you're something else. I'm going back to sleep. Yu Lai, wake up tonight! Your parents are whispering.
I'll go listen. What are we going to do? How could you let someone frame you? If this gets out of hand, our whole family will be ruined. Although the law says children can't die, our son won't have an easy time in the future.
Or perhaps we could poison him before he dies, to lessen his suffering and give him temporary relief. But that won't do either. Let him do it himself.
If he wants to die, it's his choice. If he doesn't want to die, let him live his life. Our poor child. He's only five and will soon be without parents.
How will he survive? Our son seems quite clever. He won't starve, but he'll definitely face a lot of harsh words and criticism. That's all we can do.
