In the dark space.
Chen Xi used a strand of True Essence to create a very crude timer, and then he completely went into seclusion.
After his previous experience, he didn't dare to waste his True Essence at all. Instead, he entered the state of tortoise rest from the beginning, and kept thinking about everything he just saw in his mind.
The reason why the woman didn't have any aura on her was that she had an inexplicable kindness toward Chen Xi from the beginning, so she deliberately restrained her aura.
If the woman was a prisoner, then the great terror that appeared later was obviously the prison guard guarding the prisoner.
These were two great figures who had the ability to reach the heavens and penetrate the earth.
Chen Xi couldn't figure it out, so he focused all his energy on himself.
And what he just experienced also made Chen Xi realize for the first time that —
Soul Formation was too weak.
So weak that even if he came to Heaven Capital, he couldn't get the Soul Mirror and save Yingying.
He was so weak that he could only tremble and be at a loss under the terrifying pressure of others.
Chen Xi really didn't like this feeling.
So he wanted to use this opportunity to get close to the two great figures to break through to the Insightful Emptiness Realm in one go!
Strength was always relative.
In the Heavenly Jade World, he was the Dawn Divine Lord who oversaw a region.
On Earth, he was a 'God' who was above ordinary people.
But in Heaven Capital …
He found that he couldn't deal with the siege of the ten Celestial Venerables and five Divine Generals by himself.
As for the great terror of the mysterious woman …
She was a terrifying existence that Chen Xi didn't even dare to think about before.
The comfortable life made Chen Xi gradually forget the first rule, which was —
Natural selection, survival of the fittest.
Chen Xi had a monthly salary of more than ten thousand, and his life in a small county was too comfortable.
But for big cities like Shang Jing and Zhong Hai, what was more than ten thousand a month?
To put it bluntly …
In fact, he had lowered his own level, which was why he was able to live a carefree life.
You have your pursuits, and I have my choices.
So Chen Xi's previous idea wasn't wrong.
His mistake was …
The development and progress of society would not stop because of a single person.
Following the birth of a child, the price of housing skyrocketed. Even if they were hiding in a small county town with a monthly income of more than ten thousand, they began to struggle to make ends meet.
When Chen Xi could no longer protect his family with his current strength, that would be when he made a grave mistake.
Chen Xi realized his mistake, which was why he was so eager to break through to the Insightful Emptiness Realm.
It was the same as when he was eager to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm and step on the path home.
Fortunately.
As long as a man was willing to work hard, it was never too late.
Ren Zhengfei founded Huawei at the age of 43.
Zong Qinghou founded Wahaha at the age of 44.
Then there was Colonel Sanders of the United States, who didn't even start KFC until he was sixty-six.
I was once dressed in fine clothes and riding a horse, young and frivolous.
Now, he's working diligently, and a great talent is a late success!
…
While Chen Xi was trying his best to comprehend the true meaning of the word 'void' in the dark space, the little fellow was also gradually adapting to her 'new life' without the company of her parents.
As usual, the little fellow made many video calls to 'Chen Xi' every day.
For this reason, Wu Lian even specially invited a child psychologist from the Capital University to deal with the little fellow's overflowing yearning at any time.
The little fellow was like Truman in the movie 'The Truman Show', living in a fairytale world that Wu Lian carefully created for her.
She gradually got used to video calls with her father, and also gradually got used to her mother's deep sleep.
But unfortunately …
Communication through video calls couldn't compare to the company of real people after all.
When the child no longer cried and insisted that her father come home, it meant that —
Her heart had begun to close up.
As soon as the video call ended, the smile on the little fellow's face would visibly diminish.
She no longer liked new toys, and she no longer clamored to play in the ice rink.
If the two brothers didn't come to the courtyard to play with her every day, rain or shine, her entire childhood would probably be much dimmer.
Toys, cartoons, Big Cat, and the two brothers had already formed the entire content of the little fellow's life.
Grandpa was very good to her.
Although grandpa was often in a daze alone and accidentally neglected her existence, the little fellow could still feel grandpa's deep care for her in her heart.
But this care …
It was more like the feeling that Aunt Zhang once gave her, rather than the feeling that her parents once gave her.
Only when one once had something would one know what it meant to lose it.
She began to like holding her phone in a daze in the room alone.
Because she grew up, she naturally began to have troubles.
Time flew by.
It was a new year.
Aunt Zhang was very puzzled as to why Chen Xi didn't call her this year, so as soon as the Spring Festival was over, the old lady took the initiative to call Chen Xi.
Unexpectedly …
The old lady was fooled by Wang Chunju, saying that Chen Xi and his family were traveling abroad and wouldn't be back for a long time.
Aunt Zhang naturally believed this, so after a series of instructions on the phone, she completely dispelled the idea of visiting the little fellow in Beijing.
Even a snail would leave a white mark when it crawled past, let alone a person.
Chen Xi's sudden disappearance also completely shattered the network of contacts he had built before.
Of course, for him, this kind of network was actually dispensable.
But for Niannian, a child who grew up relying on her parents' network …
All of this was indeed a little too cruel.
In the blink of an eye, spring passed and summer arrived.
Niannian was also six years old.
Perhaps because of his age, Qin Yongyan usually didn't care about any holidays except for the Spring Festival.
If the little fellow hadn't suddenly asked when she came home from school, Qin Yongyan would have even forgotten that he had to celebrate a child's birthday.
May 5th.
Wasn't today Niannian's birthday?!
After looking at the calendar, Qin Yongyan slapped his forehead and realized.
After comforting the little fellow for a while, he hurriedly rushed out to buy her a cake.
To be honest, although Qin Yongyan had a scholarly, easy-going, and otherworldly temperament, he was actually a straight man of steel.
A straight man …
Usually, he only knew how to practice martial arts.
But now, he suddenly wanted him to make the child happy …
Wasn't this making things difficult for him?
If the little girl in the cake shop didn't kindly remind him, Qin Yongyan wouldn't even know to prepare six candles for Niannian.
Fortunately, Niannian's temperament had changed. If it was when Chen Xi was still alive, this little thing would immediately cry out of grievance.
Niannian didn't cry.
After seeing her grandfather lighting the candles in a hurry, she followed what her mother taught her before, closed her eyes and seriously made a wish.
Her wish was very simple, that was, she hoped that her father could come back soon.
Therefore, after simply eating a few mouthfuls of cake, the little fellow let Qin Yongyan accompany her to sing "Insects Fly", just like how she used to celebrate her birthday.
…
The dark sky was low, followed by the bright stars.
"Insects fly, insects fly, who are you thinking of?"
"The stars in the sky shed tears, the roses on the ground withered."
"The cold wind blows, the cold wind blows, as long as you accompany me …"
