A life of clearness

Chapter 482 Lianzi's Heart Is Bitter

Yes.

Time seemed to be greatly shortened for Lianzi.

They grew from babies who could only roll over to toddlers. The golden lotus could no longer hold them, so Rong Qing carried them to the edge of the pond and surrounded them at their feet. At the same time, the remaining three lotus seeds cultivated by Guan Han and Zhi Zheng were also born.

Sure enough, it also looks like a human cub.

As they grew bigger and gained some mobility, they began to try to climb up the legs of Rong Qing and others from the ground.

As if they sensed Rong Qing's indifference, they preferred to run to Zhizheng and the others. Jinzha was the fastest and climbed higher than the last three lotus seeds, already reaching Zhizheng's knees. Its little hands tightly grasped a piece of embroidery on Zhizheng's outer robe.

From its mouth came short or long sounds called "zhizheng".

"Ba."

"Bah-"

Like human babies, they instinctively make the simplest sounds such as "ah" and "ba".

Zhizheng stretched out his arm to grab it, half-holding it in his arms, his blue eyes meeting Lianzi's clear light blue eyes.

Ningshuang, who was standing by, had already picked up Nezha and was interacting with him childishly, such as teaching him to talk. After all, Nezha was the only one who was close to her. Who told her and Rongqing to only be able to cultivate one lotus seed?

Rong Qing couldn't bear to look at the three people surrounded by the cubs. Guan Han, who usually maintained a cold and aloof appearance, unexpectedly showed great patience with these cubs.

Especially Mu Zha, who seemed to be Guan Han's favorite. He took out a piece of cloth from the storage magic tool and wrapped it around Mu Zha, but the fifth born lotus seed at his feet did not receive such a good treatment.

"It's okay to play, but don't get emotional." Rong Qing knew that she sounded like a villain when she said this, but it was the truth. Seeing these lotus seeds grow more and more like their faces, didn't this explain the problem?

……

Lianzi, who looks like a ten-year-old child, has mixed the advantages of Mingjing and Baihui very well. His little face is so handsome that people can't help but want to turn into a weird aunt and pinch it.

It was wearing a small modified Danxiao Temple robe made for it by a female cultivator from the Danxiao Temple. It had beautiful accessories hanging around its neck, hair, and wrists, provided by Bai Hui, who was suddenly filled with fatherly love.

Only half a day had passed, and the lotus seed had grown into the size of a ten-year-old child. Then, the time that was flowing rapidly through it seemed to have stopped, and it did not allow it to continue growing at such a fast pace.

The baby who could only babble turned into a child who could run, jump and play, and could even perform some magical skills.

"Uncle Bai Hui." It pouted its little mouth, and between its hands was a ball of water that had been barely condensed into a ball.

"Take it easy. Ran'er's talent is much better than others." Bai Hui encouraged.

"Really?" It widened its watery eyes.

"Of course it's true!" Bai Hui knew that it was inappropriate to give an example, but in order to coax it, he said calmly: "Ran Er is the first one who can fully perform magic within half a day of birth!"

"But I, but I can't push it out!" Lianzi, who was named Ran'er, turned down the corners of his mouth and felt nervous involuntarily.

It didn't know how this ball of water appeared in its hand. At first, it pulled it into a ball with the intention of playing around, and then...

It's like it's stuck to the palm of your hand and you can't get rid of it.

Bai Hui was asked for help, but it was difficult for him to solve the problem. After all, there were no meridians in the lotus seed's body, and the water ball was purely caused by its talent. Bai Hui could only encourage it to imagine throwing the water ball.

Let talent solve the problems caused by talent. Ming Jing watched the interaction between Bai Hui and Ran Er silently. As for the lotus seed, perhaps because he participated in its cultivation and got used to the sound of its heartbeat, Ming Jing had a natural liking for it.

He instinctively wanted to take care of it and protect it.

However, instincts are instincts.

Ming Jing and others did not lose their minds, especially Ming Jing. As a leader, he has a strong sense of sensitivity.

This is also the reason why when Lianzi was learning the language quickly, he made it call him and Baihui uncle. They could treat it as a spiritual pet and interact with it, but they must not misplace the relationship into that of a father and son.

Although Ming Jing couldn't help but feel soft-hearted when he saw Ran'er's face that was similar to his.

It was time to end it. He looked at Bai Hui who was a little bit trapped. They couldn't stay in Beiyuan Secret Realm forever. They were here to find the treasure, and the stone tablet clearly stated that the treasure was hidden in the lotus seeds.

Is it inside the lotus seed? If so, how can we get it out?

……

How to take it out? Humph. Xi Ran seemed to sense what Ming Jing was thinking and answered directly with action.

Lian Zi, who looked like a little girl, looked at Xi Ran with a natural affection in her eyes. However, these innocent and dust-free eyes dimmed in the next moment.

The slender palm pinched the girl's neck, and then he released a strong force from the palm, instantly strangling her life.

died.

The female cultivator who cultivated this lotus seed with Xi Ran suddenly felt a pain in her chest. It was not physical pain. It was an unspeakable loss and regret. Even though the girl transformed from the lotus seed only lived for half a day, it really relied on her wholeheartedly during this half day.

The purest attachment and trust.

She watched the girl grow up from being speechless to being able to call her mother softly, asking her to braid her smooth hair, and even running outside the cave to pick up flowers that fell from the sky. She clumsily put them directly into her hair, and then stumbled to pick up the beautiful flowers and gave them to them, not even noticing that the flowers in her hair had fallen off.

And such a good child is gone just like that.

Most of the remaining disciples looked at this scene expressionless, but it was hard to tell what they felt inside.

Xi Ran let go of Lian Zi's hand and let her lie softly on the ground instead of falling directly. Ignoring the little movements of the junior sisters, Xi Ran continued... His palm was like a knife, cutting open Lian Zi's chest and abdomen.

If nothing unexpected happens, the treasure is hidden inside the lotus seed.

As if they were feeling sympathy for their own kind, the remaining three lotus seeds huddled in the arms of the female cultivator in charge of the realm, burying their heads in her arms, not daring to look at the cruel scene that was about to happen.

In the extreme silence, everyone held their breath. Only the sound of dripping blood could be heard, striking everyone's heart.

Xi Ran picked up a warm, still beating heart from Lian Zi's chest with one hand.

The five fingers slowly tightened. Flesh and blood could not hinder these iron-like fingers. Xi Ran finally grasped the solid thing, and the indestructible object was firmly grasped in her palm. As for the crushed heart, it was not within Xi Ran's concern.

……

"Lian Zi feels bitter in his heart." Rong Qing sighed softly.

In the palm of her hand, a transparent crystal only half an inch long lay quietly. If she tilted it slightly, she could see the treasure properly stored inside the crystal.
