Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Rong Yi asked, “How much is it?”
“Young master, that’s just something cloddy. Just take it as my greeting gift for the little master.” Liao Yuan also just bought it in a shop. He thought it suited him, so he bought it. Actually it only cost him ten lower spiritual stones.
“Urgh…”
While Rong Yi was hesitating whether he should pay him, the little zombie already gave it back to him after digging out the gems in it.Yan Qiushuang smiled, “So the little kid likes those bling bling gems. I got lots of them. Do you want some more?”
For cultivators, gems were even no better than low grade spiritual stones.
She then took out a pile of gems and put them on the table, saying to the kid with a teasing tone, “Come get them yourself if you want.”
The little zombie looked up to Rong Yi.
Since gems were useless to cultivators, Rong Yi also didn’t stand on ceremony. He said to the little zombie, “Say thank you to grandma.”
The little zombie flew over happily and said ‘thank’, then put all those gems away in his Storage Ring.
Rong Yi explained. “Sorry, this kid is a bad talker.”“Talk to him more, and he would soon learn it.” Yan Qiushuang poked his little face gently, “I wonder if Yin Tao is also as cute as he is.”
“Much more lively than him. If you want to see him, you can come visit us in Haishan City.”
“OK, sure.” Yan Qiushuang was very pleased, “After finishing those things at hands, I’m going to see my grandson. Oh right, what is Yin Jinye here for? Does he need any help?”
“Not for now. Thank you for asking.”
“Hmm. For the influence of our family here, there is nothing we can not take care of. Which inn did you check in? I’ll ask them to take a message. So they can come here as soon after they are back.”
Rong Yi then told her the name.
Yan Qiushuang immediately sent someone to take a message at the inn, and then asked about things like why he and Liaoyuan were having a fight.
And soon it was dinner time.
Having not seen her son for so many years, of course Yan Qiushuang wouldn’t let his son go to sleep so early. After dinner, she took Rong Yi alone to her room and kept on talking about things that had happened these years.
“During these years, have people from Rong family ever made trouble for you?”
This reminded Rong Yi something that happened not long ago, “Some time ago, they said my dad left me a bunch of precious ingredients and asked me to share them some.”
“Shame on them!” Yan Qiushuang sneered, “They have been bold-faced as always. Yi’er, you’ve got Yin Family as your back now. You can totally ignore them. Cutting all connections with them would be the best! Of course, if you don’t mind that mom is evil cultivator, you can move here to live with me.”
“I don’t plan to leave right now. But some day I will leave Haishan City, but not now.”
“After you leave haishan city, if you don’t want to go back to the Yin family, you can come to my place.” Yan Qiushuang held Rong Yi’s hands guiltily, “Yi’er, I am sorry I haven’t been around all these years, otherwise Rong Family wouldn’t have turned you into…I’m sorry…”
Speaking of which, she heaved a sigh and then said angrily, “This is all your father’s fault! He drove you away while I was injured. He himself didn’t educate you with his heart at all. He only knew cultivating or went to collect his precious ingredients! That’s why you have become so weak and spineless!”
But now it felt like Rong Yi had completely changed to another person. He no long wore made-up nor had foot-binding, and even didn’t speak under his breath like a woman. Maybe because he had been through much, he grew mature. Anyway, that was good. She liked that her own son behaved like a real man now.
Rong Yi asked, “Mom, do you know where my dad has gone?”
Yan Qiushuang shook his head angrily, “I don’t know, but before he left, he had come to me, saying that he would go to a very far far place and might not come back ever. So he wanted to check on me before he went. I was still angry at the time, so I didn’t say too much with him. Then he gave me a sum of ingredients, saying that I could give them to you when you left Nine Void Sect and had the ability to protect yourself.”
“So those ingredients are in your hands.”
“Hmm, he knew that your grandpa and others would come grab them from you, so he left most of them to me.”
“Is there anything special?”
“Something special?” Yan Qiushuang thought for a bit and said, “No, I didn’t notice anything special. All are just some low grade ingredients, herbs which could ensure you a rich life for the rest of your life. Oh right, he has already refined a bunch of elixirs which could prolong your life. Those are enough for you to live 500 years. But you are still young. No hurry. When you reach 25 years old, I will hand them over to you.”
“OK.” Rong Yi then asked, “Mom, how much did you owe Yin Family? Why would you insist that I conceive their babies?”
“When I gave birth to you, I almost died. It was Old Madam Yin who tried all she could to bring me back from hell regardless that I am evil cultivation. Without him, we couldn’t have lived in this world till today. And then she lost a son and was overwhelmed with sorrow, so I thought it was time for me to repay her. I knew that you would never agree to give birth to babies for someone else, because, you only had your senior brother at the time…” Speaking of Bai Yunchen, her eyes sank, then she continued while holding Rong Yi’s hands tightly, “Yi’er, since the kid’s father hasn’t died, maybe you should live with him. I have ever seen him from far one time. He was handsome, and has a good family, plus he is a cultivation talent who could definitely protect you for the whole life. The only bad thing is he is ghost cultivator. So he should be cold in relationship. But that might not be a bad thing. At least he would not hook up with people and get you cuckolded like your grandfather.”
Rong Yi, “…”
