Suddenly, Cangwu felt the passage of time for the first time in a long time. He looked at his biological daughter, and suddenly he was overwhelmed with emotions. A complex smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, and he spoke the first words in ten years.

"Your mother really raised you well."

"Feel sorry."

When the girl heard this, her eyes sparkled and she bit her lips, as if she was suppressing her emotions. After a long time, she slowly uttered a word.

"You are not qualified to judge him."

"You have no idea how much she has suffered over the years."

Upon hearing this, Cangwu looked guilty and self-blaming, and didn't dare to say anything. He was being targeted back then, and in order not to implicate them, mother and daughter, he did that.

But now, no matter what reason you give, it seems like just an excuse.

However, at this moment, the girl opposite looked at him, seemed to see what he was thinking, and said coldly.

"I know what you are thinking. You just don't want to implicate us."

"But if you know you are special, why do you want to start a family?"

"Why do you leave us with such painful memories?"

Cangwu was speechless. After a long silence, he looked at his biological daughter and whispered.

“My life is long.”

"A life like this, alone, is too long."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the girl opposite who was glaring at him suddenly put away her aggressive attitude, crossed her legs, untied her long hair, and regained her composure. She looked at Cangwu casually, with a funny expression, and spoke softly.

"Sure enough, you still have something you care about."

Cangwu looked at the girl in front of him in confusion, wondering why she seemed to have become a different person at this moment.

As if she noticed Cangwu's confusion, the girl took out a stack of photos from her pocket, threw them on the table, and said with a smile.

"I'm not your daughter. The photos I just gave you were all photoshopped."

Cangwu's eyes twitched, a little bit unbelieving, while the girl slowly took off a hairpin and explained softly.

"I used hairpins similar to your daughter's when she was little, makeup similar to your wife's, and all kinds of small details."

"Although you are immortal, your brain is still the same as that of ordinary people like us."

"You haven't seen your wife for many years. These inadvertent details will deceive you and make you think that she and I are somewhat similar."

"The human brain is so self-righteous."

Chapter 47: Strange People (Part 2)

"Let's get acquainted again. My name is Ning Ling."

"I am responsible for getting information out of you."

The girl named Ning Ling talked to herself, not even looking at Cangwu's somewhat ugly expression.

Cangwu clenched his fists and his eyes grew colder. In the photo Ning Ling took out again, he finally saw the true appearance of his biological daughter: she was neither tall nor short, with an ordinary look.

This should be good news, but Ning Ling's deception to him just now made him feel annoyed for the first time. He looked at Ning Ling and whispered.

"Why are you doing this? Are you trying to test the importance of them in my heart?"

Hearing this, Ning Ling did not directly answer Cangwu's question, but took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and asked Cangwu in a casual manner.

"Mind if I smoke?"

Click! Ning Ling pressed the lighter and lit the cigarette while speaking to Cangwu with a sincere look.

"If you mind, then I won't smoke."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Ling exhaled a puff of smoke with a malicious look, which floated between her and Cangwu. Cangwu's eyes twitched, and he felt that the woman in front of him was somewhat unreasonable, so he replied in a low voice.

"Aren't you already smoking?"

Ning Ling waved his hand gently, crossed his legs, leaned back, held a cigarette between his fingers, and spoke slowly.

"We will be spending a lot of time together in the future, so I have to tell you in advance."

"When I ask you, it's just a polite process. I don't care about your answer."

"If anything offends you..."

As he spoke, Ning Ling rolled his eyes, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said nonchalantly.

"Just pretend you didn't see it."

Veins bulged on Cangwu's forehead, but after a moment, they returned to normal. This woman just wanted to get information out of him. He should just remain silent as he did in the past.

Then, the whole room returned to silence. Ning Ling did not care about it, but just smoked the cigarette in her hand. When she finished smoking the cigarette, she casually placed the cigarette butt on the table and answered softly.

"Okay, time to answer your question."

As he spoke, Ning Ling sat up straight, picked up the photo on the table, looked at it casually, and spoke nonchalantly.

"I didn't mean to test the status of this mother and daughter in your heart."

"I'm just curious, for an immortal being, whether past relationships matter to you at all."

Hearing this, Cangwu's eyes lit up and he looked at the girl in front of him with some surprise, while Ning Ling continued.

"Honestly, I have no interest in immortality."

"An old antique like you, no matter how many hundreds or thousands of years you live, cannot make as much as a scientist can in just a few decades."

"What the world needs is a constant flow of fresh blood, not stale, rotten plasma."

"In my opinion, you are just a rotten old man who has lived for many years, selfishly and self-pityingly."

Cangwu narrowed his eyes slightly, and for the first time in a long time he felt the desire to continue the conversation. He looked at Ning Ling, who was belittling him as worthless, and asked softly.

"In that case, why don't you let me go?"

Ning Ling shrugged slightly, spread his hands and said indifferently.

"I don't mind, but the idiots up there don't agree."

"Unlike you, they pay me."

Upon hearing this, Cangwu couldn't help but burst out laughing. He became more interested in Ning Ling in front of him and asked curiously.

"In that case, does that mean you will do your job well?"

Hearing this, Ning Ling rolled her eyes cutely, tilted her head, and replied.

"I would rather die than work hard."

"In my life, just slacking off is enough."

Cangwu was stunned when he heard this. Ning Ling's indifference to his immortality made him more suspicious, so he couldn't help but continue asking.

"You really don't want to know the secret of immortality?"

Ning Ling smacked his lips, placed his hands on the armrests, and sighed weakly.

"I don't want to repeat such stupid things again."

"Let's not talk about immortality, which is an unscientific thing. Just talking about the rationality of its existence, I find it difficult to agree with your immortality."

As he spoke, Ning Ling picked up a photo on the table, turned the front of the photo towards Cangwu, pointed at Cangwu's daughter in the photo, and asked softly.

"Have you ever thought about how many years the bloodline flowing in your body has been passed down?"

"Life is a cycle. Since the first creature crawled onto land in ancient times, the meaning of immortality has been determined."

"Biological evolution, development, step by step, has continued to this day."

"Think about it carefully. The blood of every person in this world today has been passed down from ancient times to the present day."

"Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, and three gives rise to all things."

"The blood in our bodies has been passed down for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years."

"It might have been a sunny afternoon, or it might have been by a clear river, but it was from that moment that this story of ten thousand years was decided."

"So your immortality is completely meaningless to me."

Cangwu listened quietly, his heart was touched, but it was only fleeting. After he finished listening to Ning Ling's long speech, he commented lightly.

"You look like a philosopher."

Ning Ling did not comment, put the photo in his hand on the table, and spoke slowly.

"If you don't like it, I have a simpler and clearer way of saying it. Do you want to hear it?"

Cangwu nodded and waited for Ning Ling to speak, but Ning Ling slumped back in his chair and answered lazily.

"To put it simply, I think your immortality is not scientific at all, so it is impossible to get any results through scientific experiments."

"So, I just need to make money and live a carefree life."

"But this is too boring. I have to find some fun for myself."

"Like, playing simple pranks on you."

Hearing this, Cangwu suddenly realized, looked down at the photo on the table, and nodded.

"Is this the extent of the prank you're talking about?"

"If so, you've succeeded."

When Ning Ling heard this, he rolled his eyes and waved his hands gently.

"Don't say that anymore. I can see that you don't really care about that mother and daughter."

"You selfish old man."

As he spoke, Ning Ling suddenly straightened up, and he didn't know what he thought of. He looked up and down at Cangwu with curious eyes, touched his chin with his hand, and muttered to himself thoughtfully.

"It's still interesting to be immortal."

"I'm a little curious about how you gained immortality."

Cangwu narrowed his eyes slightly. This woman said so much, but finally brought the topic back to her immortality. But at this moment, Cangwu wanted to tell this story in detail. No one would believe this story anyway.

After a brief thought, Cangwu imitated Ning Ling, leaned back on the sofa, looked lazy, and spoke slowly.

"Actually, I have nothing to hide."

"It's just that no matter how many times I say it, no one will believe it."

Chapter 48: Bad People

"Actually, I have nothing to hide."

"It's just that no matter how many times I say it, no one will believe it."

After Cangwu pondered for a moment, his eyes became slightly dazed, and he recalled his bizarre experience. He looked at Ning Ling who was sitting opposite him and said softly.

"A long, long time ago, I was an ordinary human being, without any immortality."

"I was still young at that time, about 16 years old. My family was very poor, so I had to accompany my father to the mountains to chop firewood."

"One day, by chance, when I was chopping wood, I passed by a cave. I was very familiar with that cave and knew what it looked like inside."

“But, on that day, the cave I was familiar with changed its appearance.”

Having said this, Cangwu suddenly stopped, with a strange look in his eyes.

Ning Ling was listening intently. When he saw Cangwu stop, he hurriedly urged him.

"Go on, don't keep me in suspense."

Cangwu frowned, stretched out his hands reluctantly, gestured hard, and spoke slowly.

"That day, I was outside the cave."

"I saw a sea of ​​stars hidden inside the cave."

"The spiral pink nebula and the silvery white river of stardust covered the entire cave."

"I was stunned. I dropped the firewood and axe I had chopped and walked into the cave involuntarily."

"You know, that cave suddenly became infinitely wide, almost endless."
