My carefree life in space

Chapter 236 Family Reunion

Inside the space, Yuan Qing's shocked expression lingered for a long time. So this was what the inner space of the Yuan Pearl was like. After so many generations of their Yuan family, the Yuan Pearl had finally found its master.

Was she envious? Of course she was, but she had long since accepted reality—that she wasn't accepted by Yuanzhu. Thankfully, she had her daughter; otherwise, not only would she have failed to avenge the Yuan family, but her own family would have been separated forever.

Cangwu also sensed the turbulence in the space, especially that familiar aura. So, he emerged from the deep pool and landed in front of the three of them.

When Yuan Qing first met Cangwu, she never expected that her daughter's space would contain a divine dragon, albeit only a phantom. She knew about the dragon race; they were synonymous with mystery and power.

What puzzled her was that dragons only lived on the Azure Cloud Continent, so how could one exist here with her daughter? Would it covet her daughter's space?

Cangwu paid no attention to the wariness in Yuan Qing's eyes. He said to Lin Shushu, "Congratulations, your wish has come true. You have found your parents."

Lin Shushu smiled and thanked her, "Thanks to the techniques you taught me, they have helped me a lot."

Cangwu flicked its tail, not taking it to heart, and instead asked about the ancient ruins.

What are your plans for bringing it in?

Lin Shushu then explained her considerations. After listening, Cangwu remained silent for a long time before saying, "In that case, they should thank you!"

Lin Shushu saw the desolation in his eyes and knew he was thinking of his people. He had disappeared for ten thousand years; even the gods met this end. She wondered what the dragon race was like now.

Watching Cangwu's figure disappear, Lin Shushu remained silent. She wouldn't make any promises before finding a way to reach the Azure Cloud Continent, lest she disappoint everyone.

"Shushu, that's..."

Knowing Yuan Qing's concerns, Lin Shushu then explained to her in detail their connection with Cangwu.

Yuan Qing sighed deeply after hearing this. Cangwu's experience was quite similar to her own, but she was luckier than Cangwu. At least she survived and returned to the cultivation world in her lifetime.

Unlike Cangwu, whose soul might have completely dissipated in that lake if he hadn't met Shushu, and who would never have been able to return to his homeland.

Now that things are settled, they should go find Lin Cheng'an.

Once outside the space, the original ruins had turned into an ice field. If one hadn't been here before, who would have thought that there was once an ancient ruin here?

Unbeknownst to Lin Shushu, as the people from the various sects departed, her name was mentioned throughout the Yan Yang Continent, and her deeds were widely spread.

Most people found it hard to believe. How could it be? The self-destruction of a Nascent Soul cultivator was an incredibly powerful act, especially since the person who self-destructed was the renowned Xuan Cang Daoist of the Yan Yang Continent. However, the messenger spoke with absolute certainty, and many members of major sects provided corroboration, which dispelled everyone's doubts.

However, it also aroused curiosity. It is said that the person was a descendant of the Yuan family. In this way, it seems that the Yuan family is indeed related to the ancient ruins. It is just unknown why the family was wiped out back then.

Some of those involved in the incident that year did not go to the ruins. They immediately became frightened, especially after hearing that the major sects had personally taken action to investigate the culprit. They became even more uneasy.

Lin Shushu and her family paid no attention to the commotion on the mainland, because after more than 20 years of separation, they were finally reunited.

Yuan Qing didn't mention sending a message to Lin Cheng'an in advance, and Lin Shushu subconsciously didn't want to do so either. So, when the three of them stood in front of Lin Cheng'an, it brought him a huge shock.

Is this real? Lin Cheng'an thought he was seeing things. He stood there blankly, staring at Yuan Qing, his lips trembling slightly but unable to utter a single word.

Yuan Qing's eyes reddened, and tears welled up. She had missed her husband for many years and thought she would never see him again in this life. Now, she was able to reunite with him because of her daughter. This was probably the greatest luck she could have in her life!

"Cheng'an," she called softly. This call seemed to travel through a tunnel of time, carrying endless longing and anticipation, drifting gently in, full of tender emotions.

Although the volume wasn't loud, it woke Lin Cheng'an. He rushed forward, grabbed Yuan Qing, and hugged her tightly, as if afraid it was just a beautiful dream.

Lin Shushu watched from the side, a happy smile on her lips. Although they had wasted more than twenty years, the ending was good, and that was enough.

After a long while, Lin Cheng'an released Yuan Qing, carefully examined her face, and gently stroked it with both hands as if handling a rare treasure. "These years, you've suffered so much," Lin Cheng'an said, his voice choked with emotion.

Yuan Qing shook her head. "I'm not suffering, but you..." She couldn't finish her sentence. It was easy to imagine what an outsider who wasn't a cultivator would encounter in the cultivation world.

After the couple poured out their hearts to each other, Yuan Qing suddenly felt embarrassed when she thought of her daughter and future son-in-law standing to the side, seeing them like this. She nudged Lin Cheng'an, "Cheng'an, Shushu and the others are watching!"

Lin Cheng'an released her and the two looked at the spot where Lin Shushu had been standing, but there was no one there anymore.

Lin Cheng'an took Yuan Qing's hand and led her inside. He carefully inquired about her experiences over the years, and Yuan Qing, of course, only recounted the good things.

As a result, both of them only reported the good news and kept the bad news to themselves. However, these things are no longer important.

After discussing their own affairs, they turned their conversation to their daughter.

Thinking of his daughter, Lin Chengan's eyes were filled with relief and pride. "Our Shushu has grown up. She has grown up better than we could have imagined."

Yuan Qing agreed with this statement, but also felt even more guilty.

Lin Cheng'an understood his wife's thoughts, because they were the same; they both felt guilty towards their daughter.

"What's past is past, we'll make it up to her from now on." Although Lin Cheng'an said this, he also knew that there was actually very little they could do for their daughter.

All they could do was silently protect her and not cause her any trouble.

Lin Shushu knew that her parents would have a lot to say after their long separation, so to avoid making them feel awkward, she tactfully pulled Mo Ze away and left.

"Shushu, where do we go next?"

Mo Ze's words made Lin Shushu fall into deep thought. Their main purpose for this trip was to find their parents and, incidentally, to send Cangwu home.

The parents have now been found, but they are unable to find a way to send Cangwu back to his hometown.

Judging that it was about time, Lin Shushu found Lin Chengan and Yuan Qing and asked them about their future plans.

The two had already discussed this issue; they had just reunited with their daughter and really didn't want to be too far away from her.

“Shushu, can we follow you? I mean... as long as we can keep track of your news, it doesn’t matter if we’re far away.”

After saying the opening remarks, Lin Chengan, fearing that his daughter would be offended, quickly added something else.

"Don't you want to go back to the Jin Yuan Empire?"

Lin Cheng'an shook his head. He didn't really have much affection for the Jin Yuan Empire, let alone Yuan Qing, who never belonged there.

Lin Shushu respected their decision. As for her and Mo Ze, they would definitely go back after finishing their business.
