Chapter 180: Mother

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Before Shen Chun could touch Fu Shi, he started to run towards the back of the mountain.

After running past the backyard and the neighborhood, he finally stopped in a cemetery.

He hugged a tombstone and knelt down with tears in his eyes. “If only you were here. Why did you leave me all alone…”

On it, there was the name of Sr. Fu’s deceased wife, Fu Shi’s biological mother.

The tombstone moved a little.

A woman in a white dress hugged him gently from behind. “It’s fine. You’re the most obedient child.”

Fu Shi grabbed the corner of the woman’s clothes tightly and cried until he was out of breath. “Why? Why are so many people targeting me?! Not only did they say that I was a jinx, but they also said that I killed my brother. I really didn’t…”

Brother? Shen Chun’s heart skipped a beat.

Fu Shi’s destiny was so weak that Shen Chun had never thought that he would have a brother. Even if he did, he would have either been seriously injured or died.

“Your brother didn’t. He will recover, and so will you.” The woman’s eyes were filled with gentleness as she said, “You have to grow up.”

Fu Shi stopped crying and nestled in his mother’s arms.

After the woman wiped his tears, she suddenly touched the cinnabar on Fu Shi’s head.

As the cinnabar began to burn in her palm, she bit her lower lip in pain, then revealed a smile as she said, “Xiao Cheng, it seems like it’s time to say goodbye.”

Fu Shi looked up in confusion. “What’s wrong? Don’t go!”

As he hugged his mother tightly, the cinnabar on his forehead vibrated violently, emitting a brilliant red light in the woman’s arms. As the red light appeared, the woman began to disappear.

She smiled and caressed Fu Shi’s face as she said, “Go, don’t be afraid. Your salvation is here. You have to cherish it.”

With that, Fu Shi’s arms became empty.

After he looked up with tears in his eyes, he saw Shen Chun under the sunlight.

Her long hair flew up, and her fair skin seemed to be glowing, like a goddess.

“Wife?” His memories began to surface to mind.

All kinds of memories overcame him like a tide, and his dream world became blurry.

“Let’s go.” Shen Chun smiled as she reached out to grab his small hand.

Before Fu Shi could react, he instinctively grabbed her hand.

Although her hand was soft and warm, it was incompatible with the cold dream, as if she came from another world.

The dream quickly collapsed, and the last trace of light disappeared as well.

In the darkness, as his memories were awakened bit by bit, Fu Shi became taller and taller, and the outline of his face became clearer.

His strides became bigger and bigger until he ran in front of Shen Chun. Then, he wrapped his big hand around Shen Chun’s fingers. “Are you alright? Do you want me to carry you?”

Looking at the entrance in front of her, Shen Chun felt a little breathless.

Before she could speak, she heard a child’s laughter.

“Brother, you don’t want us anymore?” Yaoyao bit her finger as she looked at him with a half-hearted smile. “You did it on purpose. We all died unjustly because of you, right?”

Fu Shi’s eyes dimmed, but he didn’t slow down at all.

The girl said with a sneer, “Die with us!”

She was about to dive towards Fu Shi when Shen Chun pushed her dozens of meters away with a talisman.

“Don’t worry about it. These are all your inner demons.” After Shen Chun bit her finger, she was about to take out the whip. “We just have to run out…”

But Fu Shi picked her up.

“I know. After seeing you, 1 knew that these were all just an illusion. It’s been hard on you.” With that, he quickly ran to the exit.

No matter how many cold hands grabbed him, he wouldn’t turn back.

Because he already had someone to protect, he couldn’t bear to see her implicated in all of this.

Fu Shi’s heart rate suddenly increased.

From the looks of it, he was about to wake up.

After Shen Chun looked at his face, she realized that his frown had also relaxed.

After being unconscious for so long, even if her soul returned, it should be quite difficult for him to adapt to this body, right?

She patted the dust off her body and got up to pour him a glass of water, but someone grabbed her from behind.

“I think I had a very long dream..”
