Chapter 313: Only Elderly People Can Smoke

What kind of eyes were those?

Her pupils were pitch black, and there was no white in her eyes, but only two bottomless black mists. The woman’s voice was stiff and hoarse as she said, “You dare kill my son! All of you deserve to die!”

After she finished speaking, the woman suddenly turned into a thick, black, and boundless resentment aura. The resentment aura was like powerful hands that tightly locked the necks of these hunters.

“Ah!”

The bodies of the hunters were lifted into the air by the grievous energy. Their hands kept kicking in the air, and they soon lost their vitality.

When Yu Huang arrived, she happened to see the woman transform into a monster and wipe out everyone.

She was indeed a monster!

When the woman returned to her original form, she lost her rationality as well. She killed all the hunters and even the child.

Seeing that the black fog had enveloped the child, Yu Huang immediately spread her Vermillion Bird wings and summoned Xuan Yu to fly towards the black fog.

Xuan Yu spread his gorgeous wings, and countless Purifying Evil Phoenix Flames descended from the sky before wrapping around the black mist and quickly burning it into nothingness.

The little boy lay on the ground and stared blankly at Yu Huang.

He came back to his senses and immediately got up. With tears in his eyes, he asked Yu Huang, “Where did you bring my mother?”

Yu Huang put away the Vermillion Bird’s wings and landed beside the little boy. She stood opposite the boy and told him calmly, “That’s not your mother. That’s a monster from Broken Cliff.”

The boy froze.

Yu Huang stared at the boy’s footprints on the snow and then at the boy’s face full of tears. After confirming that the boy was a human, she bent down and wiped away the tears on the boy’s face.

“Tell me where your home is. I’ll call the police and ask them to pick you up. Your parents must still be waiting for you at home.”

The boy shook his head and said, “I don’t remember.”

“You don’t remember?” Yu Huang asked him. “You followed this monster…” The moment the words left her mouth, Yu Huang felt that it was inappropriate. She changed her tone and asked,” How long have you known your mother? ”

The boy thought for a moment. “I’ve always been with Mom,” he said.

So, this child was adopted by that monster when he was very young?

Yu Huang took the boy’s hand and said, “Stay with us tonight. I’ll send you out tomorrow.”

“… thanks.”

Lin Jiansheng squatted by the bonfire to roast potatoes and sweet potatoes. When Yu Huang returned with the little boy, Lin Jiansheng asked without raising his head, “Little one, do you like sweet potatoes or potatoes?”

Not hearing a reply, Lin Jiansheng turned to look at the little boy.

The little boy raised his head. When his clear and clean eyes met Lin Jiansheng’s amiable smile, he actually shrank back in fear. Lin Jiansheng was stunned. He subconsciously rubbed his fierce square face and tried his best to smile gently at the little boy.

“Do you want sweet potatoes?” He handed the sweet potato to the little boy.

The little boy realized that although Lin Jiansheng looked fierce and scary, he was actually quite gentle. He then took small steps to the side of the bonfire, stretched out a pair of small hands that had turned red from the cold, and held onto the hot sweet potato.

“It’s hot!” The little boy loosened his grip and the sweet potato fell to the ground.

Lin Jiansheng ignored him and continued to roast potatoes.

The little boy picked up the sweet potato and sat down on a small rock far away from Lin Jiansheng. His palm-sized face was cracked from the cold, and as he sat beside the bonfire, his little face was bright red and looked more energetic.

Yu Huang sat down and took out the two bottles of Green Plum Wine that Mrs. Sheng had given her. “Auntie brought you two bottles of wine. Would you like to try them?”

Lin Jiansheng reached out and took a bottle before hiding it in his interspatial ring. He pointed at the bottle of wine in Yu Huang’s hand and said, “You have to drink hot wine on a snowy day. Warm a pot of wine for me.”

“Okay.”

The little boy silently munched on the sweet potato as his eyes, filled with curiosity, stared at the interspatial rings on Yu Huang and Lin Jiansheng’s fingers.

Sensing the little boy’s peeping gaze, Lin Jiansheng lowered his head and played with the two small potatoes in the fire. He said, “This is an interspatial ring. Only a Purifying Spirit Master and a Beast Tamer can use it.”

Realizing that Lin Jiansheng was talking to him, the little boy glanced at him and nodded in confusion.

Lin Jiansheng glanced at him and felt that little boy’s face looked too pitiful. Hence, he took out a recovery ointment from his interspatial ring and threw it to the little fellow.

The little guy didn’t catch it, and the thing landed at his feet.

He ate a few mouthfuls of sweet potato before bending down to pick up the ointment. He asked Lin Jiansheng curiously, “What is this?”

Lin Jiansheng said, “Xiang Xiang.”

The little guy looked even more confused. “What’s Xiang Xiang?”

Lin Jiansheng rolled his eyes. “This little fellow is so troublesome.” Although he said he was troublesome, he reached his hand into the pot beside the bonfire that was boiling water.

After the water temperature warmed up his hands, he used his hands to wash the little fella’s face.

The little fellow resisted and kept struggling. Lin Jiansheng yelled at him, “Don’t move! If you move again, I’ll feed you to the wolves.”

The little fellow grabbed Lin Jiansheng’s arm tightly without daring to move.

Lin Jiansheng quickly washed the little boy’s face clean. He picked up the tube of ointment on the little boy’s legs, dug out some ointment, and gently applied it on his face.

“It hurts!” The little boy was in so much pain that tears welled up in his eyes. His face had long been frozen and cracked, so it naturally hurt when the healing cream was applied.

Lin Jiansheng helped him apply the ointment on his hands and face. She then placed the ointment into the little fellow’s pocket and told him, “The recovery effect of this thing is very good. Apply it for four consecutive days and the wound will heal.”

The little boy nodded and lowered her head. “Thank you.”

The bonfire was rather large, and the little fellow’s face was covered in a layer of healing ointment. It looked like pig oil had been applied to it. When the fire roasted the little fellow’s face, the pig oil was used up, and his skin immediately glowed with oil.

But he did not wipe it away.

Lin Jiansheng lit a cigarette and smoked in the direction of the vent to prevent the smoke from reaching the boy’s nose.

The little fellow stared at the cigarette in Lin Jiansheng’s mouth with fascination.

Yu Huang quickly warmed up the wine. She poured a bowl for Lin Jiansheng and half a bowl for herself. Seeing that they all had wine, the little boy whispered to Yu Huang, “I want to drink too.”

Yu Huang looked at him strangely and asked, “How old are you?”

The boy thought for a moment and said, “About seven hundred years old.”

Lin Jiansheng slapped the boy’s head. “Answer properly!”

The boy obediently shook his head and said, “I can’t remember.”

Yu Huang held the wine bowl and told the little fellow sternly, “Judging from your appearance, you’re at most ten years old. Underage kids are not allowed to drink.” After a pause, she looked at the cigarette in Lin Jiansheng’s mouth and said, “You can’t smoke either.”

Lin Jiansheng instantly felt the cigarette in his mouth burn.

He took out his cigarette and stuck the burning red cigarette butt into the cold snow. He nodded solemnly and said, “Yes, underage kids are not allowed to drink and smoke.”

The little boy stared at Lin Jiansheng’s white eyebrows and pondered for a moment before saying innocently, “Only the elderly can smoke, right?”

Lin Jiansheng was speechless.

He did not look old, but his hair, beard, and eyebrows were naturally white.

If Lin Jiansheng kept his hair and beard long, he would look like a sage-like old man. However, after he shaved his hair, he did not look old. At most, he looked like a man in his forties or fifties.

Lin Jiansheng truly felt the malice of this world towards him.

Yu Huang held back her laughter and said, “Yes, only the elderly can smoke.”
