After Deceiving Shizun into Dual Cultivating, I Ran Away With His Bun 75p1

Chapter 75 Part 1: The Mended Regret [Extra]

On this day, Helan Xue and Lin Queli were playing and slaying demons and exterminating evil at the foot of the mountain. After slaying a vengeful ghost, they accidentally obtained a magical tool in a cave, called the Soul-Tracing Pearl.
According to ancient records, soul-tracing, soul-tracing, I do not know if Zhou’s dream was of a butterfly, or if the butterfly’s dream was of Zhou?
After verification by Helan Xue, this spirit pearl could make people dream and return to the moment of their greatest obsession. Although it was a dream, the memories left behind made people feel as if they were in reality. And not just the dreamer, but the person the dreamer cared about would also have the same memory.
“So magical?” Lin Queli blinked. “Then isn’t that a good experience? It’s like having a beautiful dream, and you can even leave beautiful memories with your loved one?”
“Although that is so, it is only a legend.” Helan Xue shook his head. “The ancient book records more myths and legends. Generally, there is not much truth to them. Besides, we don’t know if the spirit pearl we obtained unintentionally is real or fake.”
“That’s also true…” Lin Queli was not very concerned. “And we are very happy now. We have no obsessions!”
This was the fifth year after Lin Queli and Helan Xue got married, and every day was very happy.
Helan Xue gently rubbed the top of Lin Queli’s head. His A’Li was kind-hearted and lived freely and casually. He was a pure person without inner demons or obsessions.
It was he, this Shizun, who had many obsessions. But as Lin Queli said, no matter what the past was, they were indeed happy now.
Helan Xue put the spirit pearl into his spirit pouch. “It’s late now. Let’s go back to the inn first.”

…
…

The moon was at the tip of the willow branches. In the deep mountain and wild forest, a flock of crows occasionally flew past the window. The room inside was quiet.
After Helan Xue fell asleep with Lin Queli in his arms, he opened his eyes again and saw that the surroundings seemed different.
No, or rather, they had directly changed places. It was not the previous inn, but a dark cave. Fortunately, Lin Queli was still steadily in his arms.
Not right.
Since Lin Queli had used a new body, he no longer had the appearance of the previous Demon Lord. But the current Lin Queli… how did he return to his previous appearance?
“Shizun…?”
After Lin Queli woke up, he lay prostrate on the stone bed and looked at him with dazed eyes.
Helan Xue stepped forward and habitually put his arm around his waist, but he saw him tremble all over and look at him carefully. “I-I’m not dead?”
…?
Helan Xue paused.
“Your Highness!”
Outside the cave, A’Yu and A’Lin came in in a hurry. “You’re awake!”
They glanced at Helan Xue and said with some awkwardness, “It was the Immortal Venerable who saved you on the altar… and the tribe’s cave is more suitable for you to heal and recover your life force, so we brought you back with the Immortal Venerable.”
Helan Xue closed his eyes.
How could…
I didn’t expect that spirit pearl to be really useful?
The yellow millet dream the spirit pearl had given him was actually his only obsession that he had not yet been able to let go of—Lin Queli’s death.
He had wished countless times that his A’Li had not died in the sacrifice that day, and he regretted even more that he had not discovered it earlier and protected him well.
So this spirit pearl had really sent him back.
And after hearing A’Yu’s words, Lin Queli was clearly a little surprised that he had not died. He nodded. “Okay…”
A’Lin glanced at Helan Xue and carefully probed, “Your Highness, the snowball is crying very hard. Should I bring him here?”
Lin Queli was startled and his eyes widened in panic. “D-don’t…”
He hasn’t told Helan Xue about the snowball’s existence yet! Helan Xue definitely won’t believe him…
“Bring him here.” Helan Xue turned his head. “Let me see the child.”
Lin Queli: “?!”
What?!
Lin Queli thought he had misheard. How did Helan Xue know about the child’s existence?
After A’Lin brought the snowball over, Helan Xue took the child with one hand and sat beside Lin Queli, holding Lin Queli with the other.
Helan Xue looked down and saw Lin Queli looking at him with a dazed expression. He had not died, nor had he been gone for ten years. The child in his arms was even a little snowball he had never seen before and had no chance to see.
He never knew that the snowball was so cute at this time. The little baby was indeed like a white dumpling, white and plump.
“Shizun…” Lin Queli held out his hand awkwardly. “Give me the child…”
Helan Xue paused. “Am I not also the child’s father?”
“Huh?!”
“Y-you know…”
“Mmm.” Helan Xue lowered his head and kissed Lin Queli’s forehead. “No matter what the past was, now that I have already told you I like you and have a child with you, I will naturally dote on you and cherish you, and the child as well.”
“…?”
Lin Queli seemed to have lost his mind. His cheeks were red with some shyness, but more so with panic and unease. In the end, his eyes reddened. “Shizun… aren’t you angry? I lied to you…”
“A little.”
“?!”
Helan Xue rubbed the top of Lin Queli’s head and said in a calm tone, “A’Li, give me a kiss. Maybe it will calm me down.”
“???!
—The naive Lin Queli of ten years ago had met the ten-year widower, five-year husband Helan Xue, and had no resistance at all.
Lin Queli was now scared.
Has Shizun been possessed?!
Helan Xue lowered his eyes. “Doesn’t A’Li like it?”
Lin Queli was at a loss. “I-I…”
“Then you don’t like it?”
“I-I like it!” Lin Queli said particularly loudly, “I like it!”
Helan Xue no longer teased him, just held Lin Queli in his arms along with the child.
A cold wind blew outside the cave, rolling up a pile of fallen leaves. The rustling of the wind covered Helan Xue’s unusual heartbeat.
This time, he would grow up with A’Li and the snowball.
—Of course, later Helan Xue found that growing up with the snowball… was indeed not an easy thing.

…
…

A month later.
“Waaah, waaah, waaah—”
Near dawn, Lin Queli was woken up by a cry.
He subconsciously reached out and immediately felt himself being held down by Helan Xue. “You sleep.”
In his daze, Lin Queli saw Taxue Xianzun holding the child with a cold face, his movements a little stiff and unskilled as he rocked him. The child was too small and too fragile. Helan Xue did not dare to use force and was even at a loss for what to do. He also did not know how to coax him. After rocking for a long time, he found that it was useless, and the child was crying louder and louder.
This is a different Shizun…
Everything seemed to be subtly different since he woke up. For example, how did the System suddenly disappear, and how did Shizun become so gentle.
Lin Queli was puzzled, but he couldn’t ask anything for a while. Now that he was completely woken up by the snowball, he got up and took the child to start coaxing him.
But it was also useless. The child’s cries echoed throughout the cave, making the two dizzy.
Oh my god… how can such a small child make such a loud cry…
Helan Xue asked, “Can I show him a spell?”
Lin Queli: “…Probably not.”
Even if he’s a Long Aotian, he probably can’t understand it at this age!
“Could it be that the snowball wants to drink milk?” Lin Queli frowned. But didn’t he just drink before he went to sleep?
Helan Xue subconsciously glanced at Lin Queli’s chest.
Lin Queli was shocked and covered his chest. “I-I-I-I don’t have any!”
So how did Shizun just accept that he could give birth?!
Didn’t he not believe it before? Now he can even believe in lactation!
But the facts proved that he couldn’t.
So in the middle of the night, the two knocked on A’Lin’s door.
Lin Queli was full of apologies. “I’m sorry to trouble you…”
A’Lin said with a smile, “A child has to be fed many times a night. This is normal. It was also my negligence. Why don’t I bring a few bottles of milk back for you?”
