3326 Worry When she saw that he was startled, Feng Jiu couldn’t help but smile: “Your Father and I don’t have children yet, so we raised you as our own. At first, we didn’t know the origins of your background, but later, an old man came to our family. His name is Elder Mei…” Feng Jiu hugged him and told him everything she knew about his background while Hao’er leaned in her arms and listened carefully until she had finished talking. “That’s it. We are leaving Pill King Valley in a few days, so I have to tell you about your background and origins. Do you understand? It’s not that Father and Mother don’t want you. Even after telling you everything, you are still our son.” Feng Jiu said softly. She looked at Hao’er, who had calmed down, and a smile appeared in her eyes. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮 It wasn’t easy for a six year old child to calm down so easily. “Mother, after we leave Pill King Valley, Hao’er wants to stay with Father and you.” He didn’t know his biological parents, and as long as he could remember, his Father and Mother were the ones by his side. They taught him to walk, speak, read, and practice. He knew that they have always loved him and hence, he had never doubted that he wasn’t their biological child. Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu smiled and said: “We’ll talk about this later, it’s late, go back to sleep!” Having said that, they stood up and each took one of his hands, then they brought him back to his cave dwelling to rest. After they had sent him back to his cave dwelling, the two of them headed to the hot spring in Pill King Valley and intended to take a bath before they went back to rest. It was in the middle of the night, and the valley was quiet with the occasional sounds of insects. The two of them soaked in the hot spring, and after about the time it took to burn half an incense stick, they got up and went back to their cave dwelling… What they didn’t know was that night, Hao’er had suffered from insomnia and was unable to fall asleep all night. His mind kept thinking about the things they had told him, and as he tried to digest what he had learnt alone, he couldn’t fall asleep. Finally, at dawn, he got up early and after he had washed himself, he went to sit by his parents’ cave dwelling by himself and waited for them to wake up. “Hao’er? What are you doing here?” Leng Hua asked when he saw the little guy sitting in a ball in front of his Master’s cave dwelling early in the morning. He walked over to him immediately. “Uncle Hua.” Hao’er looked up at him, then he lowered his head and buried his head between his knees and said in a muffled voice: “Father and Mother told Hao’er that Hao’er is not their biological child.” Leng Hua was slightly startled when he heard this, then he smiled gently: “Hao’er, do your parents treat you well?” “Yes, Father and Mother treat Hao’er the best, they love Hao’er the most.” He raised his head and replied. “Then that’s it. Over the years, they have been treating you so well, just like their own son. What does it matter if you aren’t their biological child? You just need to know that they treat you well, don’t you?” Hao’er thought for a while, then he nodded: “Well, Mother said the same thing. Mother and Father said that I am still their son.” “That’s right. No matter what, you are always their son and that won’t change.” Leng Hua patted his head and said warmly: “Your Mother will be heartbroken if she comes out and sees you sitting here so early in the morning.” “I just couldn’t sleep, so I came to sit here.” He whispered.
