Chapter 7032: An Innocent Child “The toy has many facades.” He continued: “I don’t know if the old man did it deliberately or the villainous heaven prepared it that way. All in all, the octopus was able to unlock its full power.” He paused and said with amazement: “It was absolutely insane, more ancient than we imagined. It was an even match, not like the exaggerated stories about fighting the heaven or whatever.” “Who was the transporter?” Li Qiye asked. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞 “I don’t know.” He shook his head: “When the octopus revealed it, the descending lightning stopped. It could have been the villainous heaven, or he himself, to have such a real fake form. Have to trick the self first into truly believing.” “I see.” Li Qiye gained a new understanding upon hearing this. “Hehehe, so you are familiar with it.” He laughed. “I am indeed familiar.” Li Qiye nodded. “Not me, because I am an innocent child.” He waved and said: “I speak nothing but the truth, no schemes or tricks. One is one and two is two, no such thing as one being three. Heh, but you all are different and devious. The villainous heaven, Hidden Immortal, always scheming and even fooling themselves. You have done the same too.” “Are you sure about that?” Li Qiye glared at him. He became smug and said: “I’m as pure as a blank piece of paper compared to you calculating old foxes, just a pure and bright child.” “Brain-damaged, perhaps, not pure and bright.” Li Qiye corrected. “Call it whatever you want. In any case, I’ve never done those sorts of things. Sigh, fooling others is one thing, but fooling yourself to the point where you actually believe it? That’s truly impressive.” He gloated. “That just means you’ve lived well.” Li Qiye smiled. “Lived well, huh?” He said: “I suppose from certain perspectives, I really did. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be this innocent and carefree.” “It’s rare to see. Everyone has an innocent heart at the start but after losing it upon adulthood, it becomes virtually impossible to get it again.” Li Qiye said. “I must thank my parents for letting me be happy and pure, only focusing on cultivation.” He looked at the horizon. “Who wouldn’t want to stay innocent and pure? It’s just impossible to hide from the rain and wind forever.” Li Qiye understood. “Yes, unless there is someone to shelter you from them.” He said: “When I became strong enough, the rain and wind were inconsequential to me, just the prelude before the beautiful rainbow.” “Unfortunately, when one becomes an immortal, they have experienced enough rain and wind to weather them down.” Li Qiye shook his head. “Right, my parents.” He sighed and said: “I miss them. They were good parents.” “Many parents were good, but only a few were also immortals.” Li Qiye said. “I suppose in a sense, having immortals as parents can be one’s rain and wind.” He said. “Yes.” Li Qiye nodded. One example was Treasure Immortal Lord. Although his parent, Breaker Immortal, was a powerful primordial immortal, he lived in fear more often than not. Many envied him as a second-generation immortal born from nobility, but his rain and wind originated from his parent. “I suppose I was lucky.” He couldn’t help but lie down, crossing one leg over the other and chewing on a blade of grass. Before he knew it, a happy smile spread across his roguish face illuminated by the sun. Li Qiye did not disturb him, letting him enjoy this rare moment, allowing him to indulge in memories of the past. For some during the moment before death, not having beautiful memories was worse than death itself. He came to remember that in spite of his training, he had many beautiful memories growing up. This was akin to bitter coffee being delicious with ample sugar. His mischievous smile looked radiant and lovable as he recalled his best moments. “See, do you need to live again?” Li Qiye broke the silence after a long while. He immediately jumped up and shook his head: “Sir, that’s two entirely different matters.” “How so?” Li Qiye asked. “You are keenly aware of how arduous and disciplined cultivation is.” He said. “You wouldn’t have become a celestial immortal without the discipline.” Li Qiye said. “That’s why I want to be free in my next life to truly enjoy the beauties of life.” He laughed in response.
