Long River Eternity

Hearing this, the three of them turned their heads and their eyes fell on Feng Hao. He was curled up in the corner of the bed, head down, fingers scratching unconsciously, looking particularly lonely.

Liu Xianxian immediately walked forward, sat in front of Feng Hao, and gently stroked his cheek. Her warm voice was like a spring breeze, "We will never treat you as an adopted child. You are our most important partner and family member now. Stop letting your imagination run wild."

"I'm not talking about you. I'm saying that I was picked up by my parents. I don't even know where my biological parents are." Feng Hao raised his head, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible.

"You mean that in Ruins No. 5, they are not actually your biological parents?" Lin Ding asked doubtfully.

"Yes. I have been wandering outside since I can remember. Until two years ago, my parents met me on the road, felt sorry for me, and happened to have no children, so they adopted me. They were very kind to me and treated me as their own child. I didn't even know how old I was or when I was born, so they regarded the day they picked me up as my birthday and gave me a name. At that moment, I realized how happy it is to have parents." Feng Hao smiled as he recalled the little things with his adoptive parents.

However, his expression suddenly darkened, a mixture of sadness and anger. He continued, "Until that day, my parents took me to the woods near the ruins to pick wild fruits and vegetables, and we were attacked by an unknown creature. My parents' cultivation wasn't high, only at the Hidden Origin Realm. At that time, we only felt a dark shadow pass by us, and then we were thrown away, fell off a cliff, and passed out. When I woke up again, I was imprisoned in the ruins. In the end, my parents were taken away by those researchers and never returned. It wasn't until Brother Lin rescued me that I saw them... their bodies."

At the end of his words, tears streamed down Feng Hao's face, his fists were clenched, his body was trembling slightly, and the painful emotions surged like a tide, which was heartbreaking.

Seeing Feng Hao overwhelmed by painful memories, Liu Xianxian felt a pang of pain in her heart. She silently summoned the power of her Heavenly Soul Body, a faint light emanating from her palm, as she prepared to soothe Feng Hao's emotions. Just as her palm was about to touch Feng Hao's forehead, a hand suddenly reached out and gently grasped hers.

Liu Xianxian turned her head and saw Lin Ding shaking his head slightly. He said firmly, "Although this is cruel, he must face these painful memories by himself. Otherwise, he will always live in the shadow of his childhood."

She looked at Feng Hao distressedly, pondered for a moment, and finally dispersed the light in her hand. She said softly: "We will always be with you and will never let you be alone again. Don't let those painful memories affect your future path."

Feng Hao wiped the tears from his face and whispered, "Tell me, am I a jinx? All the people around me are gone. I'm really scared. In the future, you will also..."

"Don't let your imagination run wild! On the way to Zhongzhou City, we encountered so many monsters and evil people, and we dealt with them all. We are very lucky." Lin Ding interrupted him with a firm tone.

"That's right. Besides, you are so talented now. We may need you to protect us in the future. Don't let painful memories torture yourself anymore. A new life is waiting for you." Liu Xianxian encouraged.

After everyone's comfort, Feng Hao's expression was obviously relieved, but he still lowered his head, looking a little lonely. At this time, everyone also understood that there were many things he needed to digest on his own.

Suddenly, Feng Hao raised his head and asked, "Are they still tied up in that basement?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was referring to the bodies of his parents who were tied up in the basement.

Liu Xianxian's face was full of apology. She whispered, "I'm sorry, we left in a hurry and didn't have time to bury your parents' bodies. But I believe the law enforcement team over there will properly handle their burial. When things here are over, we will go back together to pay our respects to them, and then have Lin Ding and Wei Wu find the monster you mentioned and avenge your parents, okay?"

"You don't have to do anything. I will find that monster and kill him with my own hands!" Feng Hao's voice was fierce and he said with gritted teeth.

"Well said! Use all the bad memories as motivation to move forward, so that you can go further. We are all your strongest backing." Lin Ding encouraged.

"Yes, from now on Lin Ding is your father, Xianxian is your mother, and I am your boss. We will become a family. Cheer up, little brat, hahahaha!" Wei Wu patted Feng Hao's arm and said with a smile.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent. Wei Wu looked at everyone in confusion, only to see Liu Xianxian staring at him as if he were an idiot. Lin Ding also had a strange expression on his face, as if he wanted to say something.

Finally, Feng Hao couldn't help but asked innocently, "Big guy, you don't have parents, so do you want to be their son too?"

Hearing this, Lin Ding couldn't help laughing out loud. He patted Wei Wu's shoulder and said, "Hahaha, what a grown-up son! Why don't you call me dad first?"

Liu Xianxian was also smiling and shaking her head.

"You fucking... I'm talking about the kind of boss who is not related to me by blood! Are you guys making fun of me together?!" Wei Wu widened his eyes and said angrily.

"You are the one who speaks without restraint and makes random analogies. Who can you blame?" Lin Ding counterattacked with a smile.

Without a word, Wei Wu rushed towards Lin Ding, pinned him down, and put his arm around Lin Ding's neck. He gritted his teeth and said, "You're taking advantage of me, right? I'm going to fight you!"

"You unfilial son, how dare you hit your father? Oh! Xiaohao, save me!" Lin Ding was pressed under Wei Wu and stretched out an arm to ask Feng Hao for help.

Feng Hao was infected by the joyful atmosphere of the two people playing around, and finally a smile appeared on his face. He stood up and climbed onto Wei Wu, grabbed Wei Wu's arm that was holding Lin Ding, and pulled it out with all his strength. At the same time, he said with a smile: "I agree that you can be my boss, and I also agree that Brother Lin can be my father. You should agree too."

"Okay, the little brat has broken through to the Yaoguang realm and his strength has increased. You dare to make fun of me, right?" Wei Wu pulled Feng Hao off his body with his backhand, gave up Lin Ding, lifted Feng Hao in the air with both hands, and kept tickling the itchy flesh on his waist.

"Hahaha... big guy, hahaha... I was wrong, hahaha... let me go, hahaha... put me down, hahaha... Sister Xianxian, save me!" Feng Hao danced in the air, but still couldn't break free from Wei Wu's big hand. He could only laugh, beg for mercy, and ask Liu Xianxian for help.

Liu Xianxian watched the few people playing and smiled. She seemed to understand that Wei Wu was just pretending to be stupid and was probably just using his own way to help Feng Hao get out of his sadness. When she heard Feng Hao's call for help, she decisively joined the "battle", came behind Wei Wu, and also tickled Wei Wu.

At this time, Wei Wu was sitting on Lin Ding. Liu Xianxian's disturbance caused him to twist his whole body back and forth. His body of several hundred pounds kept crushing Lin Ding under him.

"Stop it... My waist is going to break..." Lin Ding was pressed down and groaned.

Ten minutes later, the four of them were lying on the bed in a spread-eagle position, breathing heavily, with smiles on their faces, putting all the unhappiness behind them.

Suddenly, Lin Ding put away his smile, sat up and said, "Yang An is back, the show next door is over, let's go."
