"Alright, take it down!" Tianming shook his hand, feeling much lighter.

"You?" Rong'er was stunned. For a moment, she felt that this was not the Tianming she knew.

At this moment, Tianming revealed his handsome face. His delicate phoenix eyes accentuated his powerful aura. His thin lips and straight nose made him look very elegant even though he was wearing ordinary, rather ugly clothes. This made Rong'er stare in amazement.

"Never seen a handsome guy before?" Tianming found Rong'er's stunned expression particularly amusing, so he took the opportunity to tease her.

"You! Narcissistic, I've never seen you so narcissistic." Rong'er's face turned red, and her heart was beating faster and faster. She understood that the throbbing in her heart at this moment was not because of anything else, but because she had fallen for Tianming. She had fallen in love with Tianming.

Uncle Yong was walking alone in the woods when he got bored and picked a leaf. He played with the tender green leaf in his hand, his eyes deep, and then he suddenly couldn't help but hold the leaf up to shield his eyes. He did this for a long time. As it got dark, Uncle Yong put down the leaf and continued on his way.

Uncle Yong took a step, then stopped and looked back. Seeing no one around, he continued walking. Uncle Yong still felt that someone was following him, so after a few steps, he started running.

After running for about five minutes, Uncle Yong stopped, and a panting voice came from behind him. "Why are you following me? I don't have what you want. Why aren't you saying anything? Are you mute or lost?"

Uncle Yong turned around in surprise and found that the person following him was actually a pretty young girl. Uncle Yong was a worldly man and thought to himself that this girl was not simple. She dared to follow him alone, and openly at that.

The little girl hadn't expected Uncle Yong to stop so suddenly, and she realized she'd been exposed. Panicked, she frantically started gesturing with her hands.

Uncle Yong couldn't understand what the little girl was gesturing, so he scratched his head and his cheeks flushed.

"I'm just a rough man, I don't know what you're gesturing about, young lady. Could you please tell me?"

The little girl was taken aback. Uncle Yong was watching her from the side. She shook her head and continued gesturing.

As the little girl gestured with her slender hands, Uncle Yong suddenly slapped his head. How could he be so confused? The little girl was gesturing because she couldn't speak and was mute. He had talked to her for so long, and it seemed that his words had hurt her feelings. Uncle Yong apologized to the little girl repeatedly.

The little girl didn't care about any of that and just kept gesturing. Uncle Yong didn't care about any of that; he kindly reminded the girl that it was getting dark and it wasn't convenient for a young lady to be in this gloomy forest, so she should go home.

After saying that, Uncle Yong lifted his foot and walked away. With each step Uncle Yong took, the little girl followed, and they returned to the moment when Uncle Yong felt someone behind him. Uncle Yong looked at the sky, then at the little girl, and couldn't bear to see her alone there.

"Come with Uncle Yong. He'll take you away from here safely. You're all alone, and it's pitiful."

After walking for a while, Uncle Yong met Yue'er. Yue'er asked the little girl her name, and the little girl shook her head. Kind-hearted Yue'er then gave the little girl a name.

"Ling'er, from now on, that's your name, Ling'er." Yue'er said to Ling'er with a smile, and Ling'er nodded and smiled.

The moon is beautiful when she smiles, and so is Ling'er. The two of them walked hand in hand.

Uncle Yong suddenly felt the urge to urinate and hurriedly ran to the outhouse.

Uncle Yong, who was in the outhouse, suddenly had an idea: he would dress up as a ghost and see if he could scare Tianming. Uncle Yong started dressing up and went to the river to look at his reflection. He was startled by his own reflection. If he could scare himself, he would surely be able to scare Tianming too.

Uncle Yong chuckled as he walked toward the outhouse. Seeing Tianming also heading there, he ran and arrived before Tianming. "Hehe, when nature calls, it feels so good to relieve yourself. I feel so much lighter now."

"Aaaaaaah, a ghost!" Tianming shouted and started running.

"Stop running, Tianming! It's Uncle Yong! Stop running! Are you trying to kill this old man with exhaustion?" Uncle Yong shouted breathlessly at Tianming, who was running ahead. Tianming might not have any other skills, but he was a first-rate runner; calling him a speedster wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Chapter 1049 Night Questions the Dawn

Upon hearing Uncle Yong's voice, Tianming stopped and walked towards him. "Uncle Yong, what are you doing? Why are you always scaring me? You're really frightening me. Luckily, I wasn't scared. Who am I? I'm the most powerful Tianming in the world. I can beat people until they cry with my left hand and my right hand."

As Tianming spoke, he patted his chest, thinking to himself, "My goodness, thank goodness it's not real, otherwise I would have died at this guy's hands today!" Uncle Yong looked at Tianming and smiled.

"Uncle Yong, what are you laughing at? It's almost dark. What if you scare Yue'er while you're playing pranks here? What if Uncle Nie beats you up? Honestly, you're such a grown man, can't you tell what you should and shouldn't do? Humph, Uncle Yong, don't expect me to forgive you."

“Tianming, you’re not very brave. You’re not manly at all. How will you protect the woman you love in the future? Come on, let’s go with Uncle Yong to work on your courage,” Uncle Yong said.

After thinking about it for a moment, Tianming felt that what Uncle Yong said made a lot of sense.

"Uncle Yong, I'm still young, but I think what you said makes a lot of sense. So, Uncle Yong, I'll be going now. We'll practice another day, another day. You can practice with me then, and I promise I won't scream. Goodbye, Uncle Yong."

Seeing that Tianming was about to slip away, Uncle Yong quickly grabbed Tianming's sleeve. Unable to break free, Tianming resignedly said, "Okay, Uncle Yong, can I eat something before I go? I'm afraid I won't be able to eat anything after I finish practicing. Can you bear to let such a cute little Tianming go hungry?"

"Tianming, let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a family whose house was always haunted. Then a young Taoist priest came and said that it was a cowardly ghost. He told you to muster your courage and that only then could you drive it away," Uncle Yong said.

"Uncle Yong, isn't your story a bit far-fetched?" Tianming laughed.

"It is indeed far-fetched, but Tianming still listened, didn't he?" The two laughed at each other.

Tianming resorted to his old trick of acting cute. Besides being incredibly fast at running away from danger, acting cute was also one of Tianming's special skills.

"Eat up, Uncle Yong can't let our little Tianming go hungry. After we finish eating, let's go to the grove, hurry up." Uncle Yong thought that it was getting dark, and the grove was the best place to train Tianming.

Tianming took out a few pancakes from his clothes, ate them, and even shared one with Uncle Yong.

"Uncle Yong, you don't want to eat. You should eat quickly. The grove is still quite a distance from us," Uncle Yong said anxiously.

"Uncle Yong, there are more and more scary things in this Black Sky Forest, and I'm really scared. Seriously, Uncle Yong, how come you're not afraid? Do you have any secrets? Tell me!" Tianming said with a grin, leaning his head on Uncle Yong's shoulder.

To show his humility and sincerity, Tianming gave Uncle Yong a back massage and a shoulder massage. "Uncle Yong, are you feeling comfortable?"

"You'll find out soon enough. Let's go. The sooner you finish training, the sooner we can come back for dinner." Uncle Yong's back was to Tianming, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

Tianming is usually very talkative, but for some reason, he talked even more than usual on the way here. They had only walked a few steps when Uncle Yong slowed his pace, gesturing for Tianming to walk ahead. He was just about to attack from behind when Yue'er suddenly cried out. Worried that something might have happened to Yue'er, Tianming quickly ran over.

Uncle Yong realized he couldn't harm Tianming now. Tianming had just arrived when he saw the body on the ground. It turned out someone had dug up Uncle Yong's body. Tianming looked at Rong'er and said softly, "Tianming, please accept my condolences."

"This can't be Uncle Yong, Sister Rong'er, take a closer look," Tianming said in a panic.

"Tianming, this is Uncle Yong, and Uncle Yong has been dead for at least two days. Tianming, try to think positively."

Chapter 1050 A Giant's Strike

Listening to Rong'er's words, Tianming couldn't believe it. If the person lying here was Uncle Yong, then what was that just now? Could it be a ghost? Good heavens, just thinking about it terrified Tianming. Luckily, he didn't go to the grove with him; who knows what might have happened if he had.

Tianming walked to Yue'er's side and gently tugged at her, signaling her to come with him.

"Tianming, what's wrong? What happened to Uncle Yong? Why was he buried in the ground? Is it because someone has always been dissatisfied with Uncle Yong and did this on purpose?"

Yue'er is beautiful when she smiles, and she is also pitiful when she cries. In the end, Yue'er has already regarded Uncle Yong as her own family, and she just doesn't want to accept the reality.

Seeing Yue'er's sad appearance, Tianming felt sad as well.

"Moon, the dead cannot be brought back to life, but I was just with Uncle Yong, and we were even planning to go to the woods to test our courage together. Moon, why are you ignoring me? I'm telling the truth, Uncle Yong really was with me just now."

Yue'er stopped crying and looked into Tianming's eyes. Tianming looked at Yue'er and his face turned slightly red. Since Yue'er was not as tall as Tianming, she stood on tiptoe and touched Tianming's head. Tianming seemed normal and did not have a fever. Why was he talking nonsense? Was Uncle Yong's death too much of a shock for Tianming?

"Tianming, go back and get some rest. Don't worry about things here. Rong'er and I will handle it. Just go back and get some sleep. Tomorrow, eat and drink whatever you want, okay, Tianming?" Yue'er looked at Tianming with concern, afraid that he would go crazy because of Uncle Yong.

Tianming thought about it and realized that Yue'er didn't believe him, so he still wanted to hear Yue'er say it herself.

"Moon, I'm telling the truth, it's absolutely true. Look, I took five cakes with me today. I ate two, and there are two left. The other one is for Uncle Yong. Don't you believe me, Moon?"

"Tianming, you should go back and rest. I believe you," Yue'er said worriedly.

"Moon, don't throw these cakes away! I specially took them out to take back and eat later. Don't waste them." Tianming panicked when he saw Moon about to throw away his cakes. He knew Moon was worried about him, but these cakes couldn't be wasted. They held memories for him.

If the Uncle Yong that Tianming met wasn't the real Uncle Yong, it wouldn't really matter. Uncle Yong was always in his heart; he was just afraid of ghosts and monsters.

Yue'er's current behavior clearly shows that she doesn't trust Tianming, and Tianming doesn't want to say anything more. He then happily runs off to find Sister Rong'er.

Rong'er frowned slightly as she watched Tianming run over, worried that he might do something rash. After all, Uncle Yong and Tianming were very close, and she couldn't put any unnecessary pressure on him.

"Tianming, why don't you go back and rest? This place isn't suitable for a child like you." Rong'er interrupted Tianming as soon as he opened his mouth.

It seems that Sister Rong'er has also misunderstood me. "No, Sister Rong'er, I didn't come here to talk to you about this. I was just with Uncle Yong, and we were even discussing going to the woods to test our courage. Look, I just ate two pancakes and Uncle Yong ate one. Do you think the person lying on the ground isn't Uncle Yong?"

Rong'er knew that Tianming had five pancakes in his hand, which he had secretly taken from the kitchen that morning. Tianming's stomach had been acting up lately, and the doctor had prescribed some medicine. The doctor said that he couldn't eat oily food with this medicine; he could eat a little, but not too much. However, Tianming liked to eat oily food.

Chapter 1051 Burying Hundreds of Millions of Living Beings, Shattering a World

After taking the medicine, Tianming had to go to the outhouse every now and then. After going so often, he naturally got tired. When he was tired, Tianming wanted to eat something, especially something oily. Yue'er caught him stealing a pancake. After a while, Tianming swore to Yue'er that he wouldn't eat it anymore.

Seeing Tianming's sincere expression, Yue'er felt relieved. After all, this was for Tianming's own good; not letting him eat too much would help him recover.

After Yue'er left, she secretly went into the kitchen and took five pancakes. Just as she stuffed the pancakes into her clothes, Rong'er's voice came from behind her, "Tianming, what are you doing?"

Upon hearing this, Tianming simply smiled and slipped out of the kitchen. Rong'er knew that Tianming must have taken a lot of pancakes and run out, so she decided to turn a blind eye.

But what can these five pancakes prove? Tianming ate two of them, leaving two, and the other one was eaten by someone who had been dead for two days. Rong'er couldn't believe this reason. Rong'er suspected that Tianming was provoked, which is why he said these muddled and unruly things.

"Tianming, go and get some rest. I promise this will be over by tomorrow."

Tianming looked at Rong'er. He knew that what Rong'er said was actually similar to what Yue'er said. They were both saying that they were hallucinating and talking nonsense due to excessive grief over Uncle Yong's death. Tianming didn't believe that anyone other than Yue'er and Rong'er would deny his statement. He asked the person who found Uncle Yong.

The man thought Tianming was out of his mind, said something unlucky, and left. No matter how much Tianming talked, he ignored him. Tianming came back with his head down. He went to the kitchen and got a few more pancakes. He ate the two remaining pancakes on his way back. He didn't know why, but Tianming felt very uneasy now.

Was the person who was with him just now really Uncle Yong? If not, then who was he? Besides, he had told so many people about his time with Uncle Yong, but no one listened; they just thought he was talking nonsense and had suffered a great shock. So Tianming felt that he had encountered a ghost and was too scared to go out.

Just then, someone outside was selling exorcism talismans. Tianming was so frightened that he bought all the talismans and life-saving beads at once. The vendor was very happy. As the saying goes, one family is sad while the other is happy. Tianming was terrified and put up the talismans as soon as he got home.

Passersby laughed at Tianming for being a coward, but only Tianming knew what had happened to him. He spent several days at home carefully recalling the events of the past few days, and couldn't help but think of what had happened to Uncle Yong before.

Everyone could see how good Uncle Yong was to him. Tianming remembered that once he ran away from home and was all alone on the street, feeling very sad. He was hungry and had no money. It was Uncle Yong who kindly helped him and gave him five pancakes.

Uncle Yong is kind-hearted and always willing to help others. If murder and arson are sins, then Uncle Yong is the one who can pull those sinners back and help them start a new life.

When Yue'er came to find Tianming, she saw that his house was covered in talismans, so she didn't say anything more and left a few cakes on the table.

"Remember to eat when it gets light, don't go hungry."

Tianming was in the room thinking and thinking but couldn't figure it out. He felt that something was wrong, but whenever he thought of the scene, he was terrified. He was afraid that thing would come after him again. He was afraid, he was really terrified. He desperately wanted these talismans to actually work.

There were still many talismans left on Tianming's table. These talismans acted like a stabilizing force, making him slightly less afraid.

Tianming was thinking that Yue'er didn't believe him and Rong'er didn't believe him either, so was the person he met really a ghost? Just as Tianming was still pondering this, the system arrived. Upon learning of this, the system mocked Tianming mercilessly.
