C17 Farewell

Aunt Caiyun left, but I was completely awake. I laid flat on the bed and stared at the ceiling in a daze. I didn't know where Qing Qing went. She probably went out to catch some small animals to suppress her inner demons.

Sigh, thinking about Thunderclap Mountain, my heart is actually quite uncertain. Whether it's from Master's tone, Qing Qing's, or Aunt Caiyun's reaction, it's not hard to come to this conclusion. Thunderclap Mountain is definitely not as simple as I thought.

These were over a dozen cultivators. After entering Thunderclap Mountain, not only did they not find out the reason, they even died there, only leaving behind one crazy person.

Thinking about this person, I had a very strange thought in my mind. No matter how crazy this person is, I would be able to hear some information regarding Thunderclap Mountain from him or from his words.

Yes, before we head to Thunderclap Mountain, I must find this madman.

I tossed and turned in my bed, my mind filled with the matter of Thunderclap Mountain. It was already late in the morning, and the sound of chickens chirping could be heard from outside.

'Creak! '

Suddenly, the door was pushed open again. I took a look but there was no one there. I thought it was the wind and was about to close the door when a yellow coloured figure appeared in front of me.

I held her in my arms and smacked her lips. "Did you go out to catch some small animals and drink their blood?"

Little Yellow squeaked a few times, then lay down on the pillow with its belly shaking. Its little head shrunk back and it fell asleep.

Looks like Qing Qing who has turned back into Little Yellow is really lazy. I'm already regretting my decision. I might as well have Qing Qing come back to talk and chat with me like this.

Early in the morning, when I had just gotten back to sleep, I heard the door being smashed loudly. Then my father's loud voice rang out, "Little Tian, you're still sleeping with your head down. Hurry up and get up. I still have something to ask you."

Reluctantly, I sat up and replied, "Alright, I'll be right there."

At the dinner table, my parents didn't move but stared at me. This made me feel uncomfortable, as if there was an extra eye on my face. "You two elders don't eat, so why are you staring at me?"

His father sighed with emotion, "Sigh, time flies. In the blink of an eye, even though Little Tian has grown up, I still think of him as a child."

"Of course not. Little Tian is by our side and doesn't feel like he grew up. But once we separate and meet again, as a mother, I almost didn't recognize him."

I couldn't figure out what the two elders were trying to say, so I could only grab my chopsticks and urge them, "Don't be so emotional, the food is almost cold. Let's eat first."

"Wait, you haven't said anything important yet. You can eat it when I'm done." His father almost forcibly took away the chopsticks as he said earnestly, "Your son should be married off to a woman. This is an unchanging truth. Little Tian, you have already reached the age of marriage. Ask your mother to arrange a marriage for you."

Here it comes again, I am getting old when I hear about it, and when I'm old enough to get married and have children, I'm not that old-fashioned.

"I say, two elders, can you two not be so anxious? Your son promises you two that I will bring back a good wife with both good and beautiful looks." I had no choice but to raise my hand and swear to the light.

His mother smiled and rolled her eyes at me. "Stop laughing. Don't bring Little Yellow in front of me at that time, saying that she's your wife. If that's the case, won't you be laughed to death by others?"

I said no, no, but in my heart I was secretly happy. Who said I couldn't treat Little Yellow as my wife? When I bring her to your two elders, I promise I won't say a single word.

After I finished talking about my life, my father went out to work after dinner, and my mother kept packing up at home.

I said hello to my mother, told her to go out, and ran out the door. I saw Little Yellow lying in the sun at the entrance, so I picked it up and walked towards Cui Cui's house.

The reason why I gave up three days of time was partly because of the unpredictable consequences of the trip to Thunderclap Mountain. I wanted to spend more time with my parents, so I could be considered as doing more filial duty. On the other hand, I wanted to say hello to Cui Cui and make it clear that I wasn't suitable for her.

After speaking to Cui Cui, her reaction was similar to what I had expected, she kept crying.

It's not that I'm ruthless, it's that I know pain is worse than pain. Since I don't like green, I can't disturb other people's girls.

During these three days, I would occasionally help my mother to work for her and accompany her by her side, trying to make her happy as much as possible. This made my mother suspect that I was trying to curry favor with her, but mother just wanted her to get me a wife as soon as possible.

No matter what, I did what I should have done, causing the two elders to continuously praise me. They praised me that I had indeed grown up, that I knew what it was like to be a parent. In the end, they didn't forget to add that it would be even better if I could find a wife.

Three days later, in the middle of the night when I was still feeling sleepy, Aunt Caiyun appeared again and shook me awake, "Stinky brat, wake up, should we leave now?"

"Aiya, Aunt Caiyun, what time is it?" I stretched and mumbled.

"It's almost midnight. Tidy up a little more and it'll be daybreak soon. Hey, why are you lying down again? Hurry up and get up."

Under Aunt Caiyun's forceful tugging, I finally gave in and reluctantly put on my clothes. After a brief wash, I put on a few sets of clothes and brought Little Yellow with me as I followed her out.

When I walked out of the door, I suddenly thought of something. I turned around and knelt in front of my parents' room. I respectfully kowtowed three times and said, "My parents, my son is going out for a trip. Not long after …" "He might come back, so I don't need to worry about my son's safety …"

"Alright, just say a few words. Why did you not play it yet?"

Suddenly, I saw two figures looking at me from the window of my parents room. When I turned around, I could hear them saying, "Really, a child can't grow up without a mother."

"It's not father. Mother of heavens, don't worry about being sad. When you grow up, you should go out and exercise. Alright, let's go back to sleep."

I don't know if it was my imagination, or if I really heard it, but it made my heart very depressed. I always felt that I had let down my loving parents after I left.

When he reached the entrance of the village, Little Yellow transformed into a green and then lightly patted the dust off of its body, saying, "I don't even say goodbye. Leaving like this isn't a good idea at all."

Aunt Caiyun's face was filled with black lines as she angrily said, "What, do you need your parents to tell you that your son is going to Thunderclap Mountain? Don't worry, there's something wrong with you two. Hurry up and go."
