The Spirit World

Chapter 718: Clear as a Flower, Deep as Water

[I will complete the duel between Chang Yufeng and Lin'er, as well as the missing chapters in other places. Because I know that my skills are not enough, I will leave them aside for now. If anyone wants to read it, please look forward to my sudden update when I finish it! It may appear as a super long Easter egg chapter. ]

[June 2021, , Wenti County, Xiaolongfang Souvenir Shop, pm. ]

"Haha! Look what I found?" Xun Huangying happily covered the sheep's hoof and asked the people around him in surprise.

Chang Yufeng, who had to close one eye as he was threading a red thread through a small hole, glanced at his little butt that was shaking up and down in excitement and shook his head helplessly.

Xun Huangying covered his sheep's hoof and wanted to show off to Ruirui, who was slowly placing the resin piece on his left hand to his right hand.

"What is it?" Ruirui is the most real six-year-old child here. She is no longer a naughty little girl, but a well-behaved little cutie.

Ruirui tilted her head, quickly placed a piece of resin on the right side, and slowly aligned it with her little hands. She looked at her brother's lamb from time to time and was very happy.

Because this little lamb seemed to be just there to tease her.

A fat dragon in a little skirt who was yawning nearby glanced at the lamb and snorted.

Elaine was born four years earlier than expected, so she feels a little sleepy from time to time.

"It's amber! I found amber!" Xun Huangying laughed heartily and took out his treasure from the sheep's hoof.

In a small resin ball, a fly was staring at Xunhuangying, making him fall backwards and forwards with laughter.

Perhaps only cats can do this kind of thing to amuse themselves.

“Idiot~” Elaine pouted and laughed, and rolled to Xun Huangying’s side. She grabbed the resin in Xun Huangying’s hand with her little claws: “What amber? Look at you, you look so ugly…”

The fly stared at Elaine's big eyes, and its legs spread out in all directions, which scared Elaine. She quickly threw the resin wrapped in the fly to Xunhuangying.

Xun Huangying pushed the fat Yilian away, jumped up lightly, and held the resin sheet containing the fly in his hand, grinning from ear to ear: "Why are you, a little fat boy, joining in the fun... I'm giving this to the little cutie..."

"I'm not fat!" Elaine rubbed her giant belly, pouted and hummed unhappily: "I'm very slim~"

"Big fat dragon!" Xun Huangying stuck out his tongue at Elaine. Elaine was so angry, but she could only hum and cross her hands.

"Whatever you say! I'm not fat anyway!"

"fatty!"

"Ahhhh!"

Elaine went to catch Huangying, but the sheep ran away without giving Elaine any chance to catch him.

Chang Yufeng's white hair became thicker, but he smiled more often than usual.

A group of them gathered together to help Alia make handicrafts. Chang Yufeng defeated Lin'er, as if he had snatched back his most important treasure from a bad guy.

Alia and Rajel are helping to record the confessions, because the Longxing Society has finally fallen.

The Longxing Society violated the interests of the four major families, and its downfall was a matter of time, but the Longxing Society did not fall at Locke's hands.

Loken died of a heart attack...

This joke played by God may really catch everyone off guard, so that no one can escape the pursuit of death.

A generation of bullies did not die at the hands of others, nor did they die from the pursuit of their enemies, but died from their own heart disease. It sounds incredible, but it really happened.

Lin'er also went to record her statement. If nothing unexpected happens, she will come back with her adoptive parents.

"Tomorrow..." Chang Yufeng passed a red string through the hole of the resin stand and called out to Xun Huangying: "Let's go buy some clothes together... I still have the sponsorship money Freddy gave me... How about buying new clothes for everyone? Since we are going to Fran, we can't let others laugh at us."

"I am! A dragon!" Elaine pulled her skirt. Her fat body made Erica's skirt too small.

She is indeed fat.

"Dragons shouldn't wear skirts!"

"But you are a little lizard now..." Ruirui placed another piece of resin on the right, enjoying it.

"I'm not a lizard. You've been fooled by your brother." Elaine was not very tall. Even if a six-year-old child like Erica was sitting, she was only a little taller than her.

Elaine started to act like a spoiled brat: "I helped you defeat those summoned beasts, it was just like beating a pig... they were scared to death when they saw me~"

She leaned on Erica, who was being lifted by him, and she giggled as she moved.

"But you look like a lizard~" Erica looked at the resin of the dragon souvenir puzzled. Those red and white dragons were all majestic and powerful. How could they be such a fat thing that loves to act like a spoiled child...

Elaine's appearance was indeed not as majestic as a dragon. In order to cover her wings, she put on a very ill-fitting little skirt and disguised herself as a beauty-loving lizard.

But she is obviously very beautiful, she is the little princess of the dragon clan.

"Hahaha, little fat dragon..." Xun Huangying couldn't stop laughing, and happily began to help Erica put the resin pieces.

These jobs are very easy. The resins are scraped from a very common tree. There is not much technical content and the method of processing the resin is also very simple. However, a clean and colorful piece of resin is very rare. Good resin sheets will be used to make more exquisite products, and the part that Chang Yufeng is responsible for is relatively rough.

This kind of thing does not require much technical content, so its artistic quality is more important. If it is pasted beautifully, it can also be a good-looking product.

Chang Yufeng put the resin with the thread on it away. Those were finished products, so he folded them up slowly.

"I'll go buy you all some clothes. But I don't know whether I should buy them here or after we get to Fran... I might not be able to fit them in our luggage."

Chang Yufeng stood up and placed the bundle of finished products on the work table, which was a medium-sized table with all the arranged parts on it. Amina would sit there alone and cut and stick together, using colorful resins to piece together one beautiful resin painting after another.

The resin souvenir business is okay, but it is actually very difficult to have a big sale. The only thing to be thankful for is that Chang Yufeng is now famous, which makes this small shop stand out among many other shops. There is even a buyer who has reserved an entire resin scroll, providing a rare subsidy for the family's finances.

Chang Yufeng walked quickly to the kitchen and turned on the kitchen light. The dim kitchen slowly revealed its messy yet orderly side. The messy part was the placement of the dishes and chopsticks, and the orderly part was the empty space in the dishes and chopsticks. Everyone had eaten very cleanly.

Chang Yufeng sprinkled some powder that can clean oil stains into the sink and began to put the dishes and chopsticks into the water one by one.

Aileya's bowl was a simple white bowl. The oil stains on the white bowl melted away quietly and disappeared.

Rajel's bowl is a bowl with a little bear painted on it. He said he is really a stupid bear and doesn't know what to do with many things.

As for his and Erica's bowls, one had an apple painted on it, and the other had a flower painted on it. He didn't know if he could become the apple...

But Eric really likes small flowers. Those simple flowers don’t have names, and maybe even the painter himself doesn’t know the names of those flowers…

These patterns slowly turned around and then slowly dispersed in the clear water and foam. The light oil stains were like blood stains chasing after time, slowly swimming around, and finally falling into the mud along with the steel pipes.

Chang Yufeng put the bowls away and piled them on the platform. He glanced at the sheep, the dragon, and the child out of the corner of his eye.

The sheep were laughing and playing, the dragon was still fussing with its skirt, and the child was slowly adjusting the stand next to him.

The glowing crystal was shining above his head. Chang Yufeng pursed his lips. The lights in this room were not necessarily very bright, but when everyone was together, the lights were frighteningly bright, as if if any one person was missing, the lights would no longer be that bright.

"Rui Rui..." His voice trembled a little.

He didn't know why he felt like crying...

Maybe it was because he felt that this world was too cruel, so cruel that... every person's departure was so insignificant...

So small that... I have never been here...

"What's wrong, brother?" Erica raised her head, her white orchid-like hairpin moved upwards, her red lips moved slightly, and she pursed her lips happily: "Mom is back?"

Xun Huangying looked at Chang Yufeng, somewhat stunned unconsciously. Yilian restrained her smile and looked at the small door and window.

No one came in.

"It will be very hard to study in Fulan. Do you really want to go?"

"Then brother, are you going?"

"Of course my brother has to go..."

"Aren't you afraid of hardship?"

Erica slowly lowered her head and slowly placed the resin on her left hand to the right.

"I'm not afraid anymore..."

"Then I'm not afraid either!"

Erica answered simply. The lamb touched her head and she chuckled twice.

Xun Huangying knew what Chang Yufeng wanted to ask, but he didn't ask.

He wanted to think, could living such a peaceful life be another kind of life...

Is this kind of quiet life also a different choice?

Being with people you know...

Live with people who can laugh with them...

He could laugh—he hadn't laughed in a long time...

He could cry bitterly—he really couldn't cry anymore...

If fate can really be chosen, it is not called fate...

His kindness and the education she received would inevitably make him want to protect it all with his life.

If you do nothing, it will be short-sighted and make yourself live in more pain...

Can anyone really live happily?
He didn't know.

But absolutely no one will live in agony...

Because death... is the end of all suffering...

Happy people don’t want to die, but too much happiness often leads to sorrow.

Only sad people can touch death...

He has become somewhat famous. After Freddy's publicity, this shocking battle will definitely spread throughout the Principality... Everyone knows that there is such a child in the world, with his innate skills, who fought his way out of the talented Wenti County...

That means that K should take action.

He had already experienced K's cruelty, and he was sure that he could kill anyone.

The suffering that Chang Yufeng has to face has actually just begun.

Anyone who appears around him could be K.

If K really has the ability to destroy the world, then based on this premise, he will assassinate all powerful people one by one.

Focusing on the line, he needs to destroy all the forces that can be united...

To achieve the goal, he needs to launch a brutal war.

The war that we already know about is the invasion of this world by the demon race.

Chang Yufeng wants to start over again, and all the core is centered around the implementation of K's possible plans.

He is now a brilliant chess piece, and it is also his own chess piece. What he wants to put into practice is to expose himself in front of everyone, whether they are kind people or good people, he needs to show himself.

In the future, he may be the target of retaliation by all evildoers, or he may be the target of all organizations' wooing...

To protect your family, friends, and loved ones.

He just wants to be such a lone hero.

He was in the light, but it was hard for him to see K hiding behind him. He was just fighting with this feeling:
For the one he loves, he is willing to cross mountains and seas to be with his lover, to cry, to roar, to go crazy...

He knows that everything he loves will embrace him.

For all that is kind and beautiful... he is willing to walk into the abyss as vast as the stars, and for those who are ugly, he is willing to cross mountains of swords and seas of fire.

He has realized...

The only end is death...

How many times has he felt that his weakness is everyone here...

They are children, relatives, and friends...

Now, he understood that his weakness was actually himself.

He used to think that he was not strong enough to protect everyone...

Now he felt that being strong was only physical strength...

The spirit is still so small...

Not all deep hatreds can make people afraid.

It is because of the fear of losing that people are timid...

I am so timid that even the eighteen levels of hell cannot bury me...

He understood why he was reincarnated...

It's like I understand...

Love or not, both are endings...

Because those who don’t have love long for love… those who love are afraid of losing love… that’s why people become timid… timid people tremble in fear, and their internal organs are in unstoppable pain…

Those things that are ultimately dreams will eventually be lost...

"Well...I won't be scared."

Chang Yufeng seemed to be answering his sister.

Because her sister said that because she was not afraid, she would not be afraid either.

Chang Yufeng sat down slowly again, straightened a red rope, and held a resin sheet to the light. He licked the ends of the ropes, and the red threads were slowly straightened by his saliva. The neat and uneven threads were entangled in the saliva and passed through the lonely hole. The red ropes at both ends met quietly, slowly entangled, and formed a double buckle, forever and ever, never to be separated.
