Chapter 58: Killed Three People in One Night
After leaving the Cheng Family, it was already dark, and the two of them took a taxi.
Originally, Hao Meiyun wanted Xiao Yun to move in with the Cheng Family, and even Cheng Yuanzhao repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, but Xiao Yun could not stand the father and son of the Cheng Family and firmly refused.
Moreover, Xiao Yun was preparing to buy a house in the next few days; he would soon have his own place. He thought that if the Chengs treated his mother poorly, he would simply bring her to live with him.
Before leaving, Cheng Yuanzhao insisted on having Cheng Hu drive them. He wanted to take this opportunity to narrow the distance between his son and Xiao Yun, but Xiao Yun repeatedly declined. He did not want to offend the Cheng Family too much since his mother lived with them.
Xiao Yun also told Cheng Hu that he would visit the Feng Family when he had time to check on Feng Wushuang and try to bring her back to his side. However, this was just an excuse; once he arrived at the Feng Family, he only needed to lift the Blood Curse from Feng Wushuang. Additionally, Xiao Yun was curious about why Feng Yue and Luo Mingyue were married; he felt there must be a story behind it.
Especially Luo Mingyue; this woman had a certain charm. Although she was much older than Xiao Yun, she held a special allure for him.
In the car, Xiao Yun gently wrapped his arm around Duan Qingxue's waist, appearing very tender. However, Duan Qingxue felt a mix of emotions in response to his affection.
Xiao Yun leaned close to her ear and asked lightly, "Qingxue, what did my mom whisper to you?"
"Nothing much," Duan Qingxue replied with a faint smile. "She just told me about your background. Sigh, your mother is such a good person; she has endured so much for you. You must treat her well in the future!"
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Yes, but you can take good care of my mom too!"
His words hinted at something deeper; it implied that once she became his wife, the responsibility of caring for his mother would fall on her shoulders.
Duan Qingxue understood Xiao Yun's meaning all too well. Waves of emotion surged within her, and her eyes became slightly moist. Yet she held back her tears, not wanting to let them fall.
In her heart, she whispered, "Xiao Yun, do you know? Actually, you are my brother; it’s impossible for your sister to be with you in this lifetime!" But she couldn't bear to tell Xiao Yun directly for fear of hurting him.
The taxi first dropped Duan Qingxue off in front of her rented apartment before taking Xiao Yun back to the Fragrant Flower Shop.
Inside the flower shop, there was no one else but Xiao Yun. Suddenly, a small bell flew out from the Storage Ring and landed on the vanity table. It began scolding Xiao Yun who was sitting on the bed: "I’m so bored! You little brat, do you have any humanity? You eat three meals a day until your belly is full; have you ever cared about this beautiful lady's well-being?"
Dizzy, Xiao Yun was scolded by the little bell to the point of confusion; he really forgot that it was a living creature and still needed to eat.
Xiao Yun was sweating all over and said, "I'm really sorry, I completely forgot. What do you want to eat? I'll go buy it for you right away!"
"Forget it, seeing that you still have a bit of conscience towards this beautiful lady, I won't hold it against you. Fortunately, you still have some Ethereal Stones in your Storage Ring; their Spiritual Energy will last me for a while!" the little bell said, smacking its lips.
Xiao Yun became anxious; the Ethereal Stones stored in his ring had other uses. He said, "Little Bell, why did you eat the Ethereal Stone without my permission?"
"What's the rush? There are four pieces of Ethereal Stone inside, right? One piece is enough for me!" The little bell was quite pleased with his stinginess.
Hearing this, it seemed there were still three pieces left. Xiao Yun finally relaxed his tense heart and smiled, "If there's nothing else, you can stay aside; I need to cultivate!"
"Alright, you cultivate; I'll go take a walk outside!"
As the little bell spoke, it flapped its wings and flew out of the window.
Watching the little bell's figure fly away, Xiao Yun felt quite amused.
This Spirit Bird was indeed adorable.
Xiao Yun sat cross-legged on the bed and began to enter a state of cultivation.
After finishing his cultivation, the little bell still hadn't returned. At that moment, a strong wind began to blow outside, dark clouds rolled across the sky, and soon there were flashes of lightning and thunder as heavy rain poured down.
Xiao Yun became anxious; with such heavy rain, would something happen to the little bell? He anxiously paced around his bedroom.
The Spirit Bird was an ancient flying creature; the little bell was probably the only surviving Spirit Bird in this world, making its value immeasurable. If it fell into the hands of bad people, it would be troublesome.
Just as Xiao Yun was about to go out searching, unexpectedly, the little bell flew back in looking like a drenched chicken.
"Hey, you really worried me! Why did it take you so long to come back?" Xiao Yun couldn't blame it too much; he held it in his hands and carefully dried its feathers with a towel.
"It seems you really have a conscience," the little bell excitedly flapped its wings and said. "Uh, you've moved me; this beautiful lady is about to fall in love with you!"
Xiao Yun was feeling a bit overwhelmed. After all, he was a proud man, yet he found himself being adored by a bird. If anyone found out, they would surely laugh uncontrollably.
After drying the bird off, he set it aside and joked, "Little Bell, you keep calling yourself a beauty. When will you actually become one so I can admire you?"
To his surprise, Little Bell replied seriously, "I am currently in the process of cultivating. Back in Ancient times, we Spirit Birds had a dream—to become human. Unfortunately, due to a plague... sigh. Don't worry, kid. When the time comes, I will definitely become part of humanity. This beauty guarantees that you will be left speechless and drooling!"
"Are you talking about myths?" Xiao Yun asked. "Were there humans in Ancient times?"
Little Bell said, "Of course there were! They were prehistoric humans. You don't know this, but long before recorded history on Earth, there were humans just like today—prosperous and thriving. However, they were busy fighting over resources and claiming dominance, which eventually led to a nuclear war that caused global contamination and plunged the world into a long period of frozen slumber... Later, as the ice melted and tectonic plates shifted, new continents and oceans formed, allowing various life forms to reproduce. That was when we Spirit Birds began to appear. I have seen some humans with my own eyes; they were prehistoric beings who hid underground to survive the nuclear fallout. However, the new Earth environment didn't seem suitable for them, and they eventually disappeared!"
Xiao Yun listened as if he were hearing a science fiction story and asked with a smile, "So... how did our current humans come about?"
Little Bell replied, "That was thanks to some cultivators from prehistoric times. One of them was a goddess named Nuwa who transcended the three realms and came to Earth to create humanity..." The story seemed to drift back into myth.
Xiao Yun felt that this was too outrageous to believe and didn't want to argue with Little Bell. He said, "Alright then, believe what you want. You'll understand in time. By the way, I went out for a little while just now; guess what I did?"
Xiao Yun shook his head. "I'm not a worm in your belly; how would I know?"
Little Bell proudly declared, "Tonight, I killed three people!"
"What?" Xiao Yun exclaimed in shock. "Little Bell, you... you said you killed three people in one night? Who were they?"
