The metaphysical mother returns, and the villain son stands at attention

Chapter 254 Reputation ruined
For a moment, no one spoke, and the two sides looked at each other as if they were in a standoff.

Until the paper man could no longer suppress his curiosity, and jumped in front of the Ghost King, paused subtly for a moment, and looked up.

The Ghost King looked down at the paper man, with yin energy surging around him, and was eager to try.

The paper man had no idea how to read the atmosphere. He even stretched out his hand to compare his height with the Ghost King. It seemed confused. They were not even human, so how could the Ghost King be so much taller than him?
Just when the Ghost King couldn't help but tear the paper man into pieces, Gu Qingyin quickly summoned the paper man back - it was so naughty!

The Yin Qi surged more and more. Gu Qingyin coughed lightly and said, "We are just passing by. We have also experienced the game. You let us pass and continue to guard your territory. Isn't it good for us to live in peace?"

"If we really want to fight, you should be able to see that we are not afraid of you." Gu Qingyin blinked, "You are not ready to reincarnate yet, right?"

A few words, both soft and hard, first courtesy and then force.

There was no expression on the Ghost King's face, except that it looked a little darker, but he knew that the man was telling the truth.

He knew everything in the game space. The abilities displayed by Huo Yunjing and Dongfang Lingjun alone were enough to make him wary, not to mention the unfathomable Gu Ziqian.

If he really wanted to fight, his chances of winning were very slim. But he was still a little unwilling to let them go. Thinking of this, the Ghost King couldn't help but look at Huo Xingchen.

Gu Qingyin's eyes darkened and her fingers moved. She couldn't help but want to just use force. What did it mean by staring at her son all the time?
At this time, Huo Xingchen suddenly spoke up, "Actually, I'm already 23 years old this year, but my body has become smaller for some reason."

When these words were spoken, not only the Ghost King, but also the adults nearby were all stunned.

"Become smaller?" The Ghost King muttered to himself, thinking back to Huo Xingchen's performance in the game space and what he said to Gu Qingyin. He began to waver in his heart.

Since it's not a real child, there seems to be no need to drag it on any longer.

"Did you have a good childhood?" the Ghost King asked a little abruptly.

Huo Xingchen sighed when he heard this. "My mom ran away shortly after I was born, and didn't come back until I was in my twenties. After she ran away, my dad thought about bringing her back every day, and didn't care about me. I went to school, ate, and slept by myself every day."

He sniffed pitifully, "I'm really lonely, I really want my parents to accompany me." He looked at the Ghost King, "You should understand me, right? Although our experiences are different, our feelings should be similar. We are both children abandoned by our parents."

These words were spoken with such sincerity that if Gu Qingyin hadn't understood the actual situation, she would have really been fooled by Huo Xingchen's acting skills. How could such a good actor go play e-sports? What a waste of talent!
Gu Qingyin felt that she should say something. She took a deep breath, raised the corners of her lips and said, "Mom already knows she was wrong. I will definitely make it up to you in the future."

Huo Xingchen leaned towards Gu Qingyin in dependence.

The Ghost King frowned, "She abandoned you."

Huo Xingchen said stubbornly: "But she already knows she was wrong, she has come back to find me, and she treats me very well now! I forgive her!"

The Ghost King looked at him with mixed emotions, and it was unknown what kind of psychological struggle he had. Suddenly, he moved his fingers and drew out the ghost energy buried in Huo Xingchen's body.

Gu Qingyin's eyes lit up and she immediately squatted down to check on Huo Xingchen's condition.

Seeing this, the reluctance in the Ghost King's heart faded a little. He took a step back and disappeared, leaving only a faintly melancholy voice, "Be nice to him."

These words were obviously directed at Gu Qingyin.

Gu Qingyin sighed, "You don't need to remind me."

The forest shrouded by the gloomy air suddenly became clear, and a straight and clean road appeared. Huo Yunjing was very conscious of clearing the way, so he walked forward first.

Gu Qingyin picked up Huo Xingchen and followed, followed by Dongfang Lingjun and Zhang Qiuyan, and Gu Ziqian was the one who was responsible for covering the rest.

Following the same team order as before, they walked out of the Ghost King's territory. No one spoke and the atmosphere was quite subtle.

Gu Qingyin thought about it and explained, "I did leave for a while when they were very young, but I didn't run away. I entered a space where the flow of time was very slow, and twenty years had passed when I came out. Do you understand?"

After that, the atmosphere became even weirder.

"So..." Zhang Qiuyan asked in a complicated tone, "Huo Xingchen is really already in his twenties?"

Gu Qingyin blinked, "But he has indeed become smaller now."

Zhang Qiuyan: "...a child's body and an adult's soul. Am I right in understanding this?"

Gu Qingyin could only nod, "Yes."

Huo Xingchen turned his head and saw Zhang Qiuyan looking awkward. He immediately showed a wronged look, "Don't dislike me. I don't want to become like this." By the way, he also explained for his mother, "Most of what I said to the Ghost King just now was a lie. Although my mother is not around, I still had a good childhood."

Afraid that they would not believe him, Huo Xingchen further explained, "Although my father doesn't often take care of us, our family is very rich, and the aunties who take care of us are very careful and responsible, and they provide us with the best food, clothing and daily necessities."

"My eldest brother is smart and precocious. He almost acts like a father to us. He is very strict with us but does not interfere with our freedom too much. My second brother and I have fully nurtured our interests and hobbies."

"Before coming here, I had already become a world champion and retired successfully. I am currently devoting myself to the Tianshi industry!"

"Why doesn't your father care about you?" Huo Yunjing asked with a frown.

"what?"

Isn't this the point? Huo Xingchen thought, but still responded politely: "My dad was always trying to find my mom's whereabouts, and he also had to manage the family business, so he really didn't have much energy to share with us. We all understand."

Huo Yunjing pursed his lips. Although his expression still showed a bit of dissatisfaction, if he put himself in the other person's shoes, it seemed that he might not be able to do better.

Gu Ziqian rubbed his chin, "What about me? I didn't go to find you?"

"Uh..." Gu Qingyin was a little embarrassed. "My master was too busy to take care of himself at that time, but he went to help me seek justice later."

Gu Ziqian raised his eyebrows, "I'm dead? Tsk, from this point of view, there is no need for you to return to that world. Isn't it better to stay here? Everyone you are familiar with is here."

"Big brother and second brother are not here!" Huo Xingchen hugged Gu Qingyin's neck in a panic, "And Guoguo and Maomao, they are all waiting for my mother to come back!"

Seeing the child's eyes turn red with anxiety, Gu Ziqian couldn't help but sigh, "You're in your twenties, why are you still crying like a child?"

Huo Xingchen: ...He didn't want to, but it was his physiological instinct and he couldn't control it.
