I am in the world of immortal cultivation, I am taming beasts and ascending

Chapter 4: Meeting the Stepmother
But given the kind of person my mother, Mrs. Bai, is, she would never do such a thing as cheating!

Bai wiped her hands clean, pulled Liuyun and walked back: "These are all trivial matters, it doesn't matter if you can't remember them, take your time! Although you have been imprisoned here for the past seven years, you have not been idle for a moment. You have been practicing hard every day, hoping to learn something, so that you can gain your father's recognition and take mother away from here."

"Maybe God has his own plan. We are not the kind of people who can cultivate immortality. Listen to mother. In a few years, when you reach the age of marriage, you can find a good marriage, and then mother will be relieved."

"A good marriage? Mother, in this situation, is there really a good marriage waiting for us?" Liuyun naturally didn't believe it, but he still asked naively.

This question was not meant for Liuyun to know the answer, but to force the Bai family to see the situation clearly!
Sure enough, Bai hesitated!

"Yun'er, your father still has us in his heart, at least he has you in his heart." Bai said these words with great difficulty, and it seemed more like she was trying to convince herself.

"Mom, is it true? Do you believe what I said?" Liuyun played with the corner of his tattered clothes, where there were many worn threads.

"Do you believe it?" Bai murmured. She herself was confused.

Recalling the past, the familiar person beside her always gently called her "Ayue!".

"Ayue! Stay with me?!"

"Ayue! Look! This is our little home!"

"Ayue, when I, Ye Feng, stand on that high place, the one who will accompany me and look down upon the world will definitely be you, Bai Qiuyue!"

The vows they made to each other were still ringing in my ears! But they hadn't seen each other for six years. In the past few years, he had never set foot here, as if this yard was a mark of shame for him!
He didn't even show up at Liuyun's funeral the day before!

The waiting, expectation, disappointment and despair of these years kept lingering in her heart, tormenting her day and night. Can she still believe in him?

The past and the current predicament collided violently, and she didn't know what decision to make! She was just a woman, a woman who relied on men to survive in the world.

Believe it or not, what does it matter?

"What is mother thinking about?" Liuyun brought Bai back to reality.

"Nothing, just remembering some past events!"

"Mother, do you still choose to believe? Until now, you still want to place all your hopes on father? But this situation is the result!"

"Yun'er, what difference does it make whether you believe it or not? We can't get out! But Yun'er, you..."

Hearing this, Bai became uneasy, her eyes were full of tenderness and love, but also of fear and helplessness.

"You've just recovered from a serious illness, and your temperament is not as gentle as before. Are you still my Yun'er now?" Bai Shi hesitated to speak, weighing every word carefully.

She was resurrected from a dead body and her personality changed drastically.

Mother and child are connected by heart. Ye Liuyun is her own flesh and blood, a child she raised herself. Bai Shi...is beginning to have doubts in her heart.

From Bai's panicked and helpless eyes, Liuyun could see that she was afraid! Afraid of losing again!
But at the same time, she was looking forward to the answer!

Indeed, the real Ye Liuyun had died long ago.

The weak, helpless, and answer-hungry look in front of him left Ye Liuyun speechless for a moment.

After a brief thought, Ye Liuyun smiled and said, "Mother! Of course I am me. Regardless of this body or this soul, in the past life or this life, Liuyun will always be Liuyun!"

Bai held Liuyun's hand tighter.

This ambiguous answer, which neither confirms nor denies, is the best answer!

As for what you think, it all depends on you!

As they were talking, they had arrived at the hall. Turning left, they arrived at Liuyun and Canxue's room. Two small beds were squeezed in the narrow space, and the quilts and curtains were covered with patches.

I really don't know how to describe this scene! Is this impossible to survive? The house is completely empty!
Liuyun was not surprised. She looked around and realized that this was the first time she had come here since she woke up.

There were several small books scattered on the bedside, and one of them was an old book that caught Liuyun's eyes deeply!
It's not just because of its curled-up corners, but also because the four big characters "Spirit Cultivation Treasure Book" on the cover are particularly eye-catching.

Liuyun grabbed the book and started reading it. The characters flooded into his mind like a spring, making him dizzy, as if they had awakened certain memories of this body!
The way of heaven and earth is broad, thick, high, bright, long and long, and the sun, moon and stars are connected.

All things are covered by it. It is the origin of all things.

Xuancang Heaven and Earth, its righteous color is evil! Respecting the cultivation of the spirit, entering the soul mirror, Chaohua realm, Tianling realm, Shenqi realm, and Xianlin mirror five realms, the first four realms are divided into three layers each. Those who reach the Xianlin realm are regarded as gods!

She! Ye Liuyun! She worked day and night without stopping, but she never broke through the first level of the Soul Mirror!
No! To say she had achieved a breakthrough was an exaggeration. Her thin spiritual energy hovered between cultivation and no cultivation.

Ye Liuyun was dumbfounded. How could this happen? Could it be that he was a loser in this life?
"Mom? Is this the book my daughter is studying? She studies hard every day?" Liuyun was puzzled.

"Yes! Your father asked your mother to send this to you! He said that your spiritual energy belongs to fire, and this book is the best one he picked out after thousands of selections! You treat it like a treasure!" Bai took the book and smoothed out the curled corners. "Speaking of this, I have to thank your mother. She comes to check your homework every month. Yun'er, you must be grateful and remember it in your heart!"

This refers to my mother's stepmother, Cui, my father's legal wife. From my mother's words, I can see that she is quite grateful to Cui.

I just don’t know what kind of wonderful person this Cui is that my mother could be so grateful to her!

"Speaking of your stepmother, I forgot to tell you that this morning, mother has already told Aunt Liu at the door that you have woken up. I think your stepmother will come to visit you in a while!"

Before he could finish his words, bursts of laughter were heard from the yard.

"Who is talking about me like that?! Hahaha! I'm late!" Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first. The voice was crisp, clear, and capable: "Don't blame me, sister!"

Accompanied by a messy sound of footsteps, the jingling of pearls and jades.

Liuyun looked in the direction of the voice and saw a crowd of people escorting a noble lady into the house.

The woman had almond eyes, rosy cheeks, and a smile on her face. She was very beautiful. She had a graceful figure, and was covered in pearls and jade, looking luxurious and elegant. It was Cui.

Bai stood up and saluted: "Thank you for your concern, sister! Yun'er, come and meet your mother!"

"Hello, mother!" Liuyun greeted.

"Sister, what are you talking about? We are all family!" Cui helped Bai up and pulled Liuyun over to look her over. She smiled with satisfaction and said, "How is Yun'er? Has the doctor checked her? The child looks much better, even better than before!"

"Thank you for your concern, mother!" Liuyun bowed. She had learned some etiquette from Canxue in the past two days, and now she came in handy!

"I told Madam Liu this morning that the doctor will be here soon!" Bai said with a smile.

"Don't wait any longer. These doctors might have run into some problems. We can't afford to delay any longer! Have you forgotten what our family does? Haha! Nanny Wang, come and take a look at this child!"

"Yes!"

A nanny behind Cui put down what she was holding, bowed, and invited Liuyun to the side. She took Liuyun's pulse and gave him a detailed diagnosis.
