Douluo: Soul Shadow King

Along the way to the village, the roads paved with loess made their clothes stained with a lot of dust, but when they went home, who cared about this anymore?

Since leaving Chengjia Village, Cheng Xiao has been spending his time in cultivation, not for anything else but to make his grandfather live a good life when he grows up. If nothing else, at least not to work too hard for money.

Although he is not from this world, he is not uneducated. He remembers who treats him well and who treats him badly.

He is an adult, but an adult is also a human being. He has not been toyed with by fate for five hundred years like a certain immortal, and he has not been ridiculed or envied by others.

All he can do is make himself stronger and make the people around him live a better life.

After walking slowly along a loess road, Cheng Xiao turned left. After a while, he stopped in front of an earthen house. This earthen house was not simple, but it was not much better.

Looking at the familiar house in front of him in a daze, Cheng Xiao's mouth curved. He could already imagine the old man's surprise when he saw him. He immediately turned his head and said to the person next to him: "This is my home. , let’s go.”

Hearing this, Ye Lingling smiled and nodded.

Cheng Xiao's former home was right in front of him, and he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. The door was open, and white smoke was floating inside. It looked like he was cooking.

Quickly walking into the house, everything inside seemed to have remained unchanged. The old man was cooking dinner in front of the stove. When he saw someone suddenly coming in, he looked over suspiciously.

""Xiao... Xiaoxiao? "Although he hadn't seen his grandson for many years, Old Man Cheng could still tell at a glance that the young man in front of him was his grandson!

Hearing this, Cheng Xiao felt a little surge in his heart. He subconsciously rubbed his sore eyes and smiled with a strong smile: "Grandpa, it's me, I'm back."

"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back." A trembling voice came from Old Man Cheng's mouth, and he hurriedly came forward to greet him.

Stretching out his old palm, he gently touched Cheng Xiao's face. Old Cheng's eyes showed distress and he murmured: "My child, you have lost weight. Are you suffering too much outside?"

"It's not bitter, not bitter at all." There were tears in Cheng Xiao's eyes, and he became choked when he spoke.

At this moment, Old Man Cheng suddenly noticed a beautiful female doll standing behind Cheng Xiao. He was slightly startled and asked doubtfully: "Xiao Xiao, who is this?"

"Hello, grandpa, I am Cheng Xiao's friend, my name is Ye Lingling." Before Cheng Xiao could speak, Ye Lingling said with a smile.

"Ye Linngling, it sounds like a good name." Old Cheng smiled from the bottom of his heart and asked immediately, "You just returned to the village, must you be starving, right?"

"Xiao Xiao, take Lingling to the house and wait for a while. Grandpa will cook for you."

After saying that, Old Man Cheng took the two of them into the house, and he sat skillfully in front of the stove and began to prepare meals.

"Grandpa, I'm not a child anymore. Let me help you." Seeing this, Cheng Xiao smiled bitterly and prepared to step forward to help. However, Old Man Cheng would not let Cheng Xiao help even if he was alive. In the mind of the older generation.

It must be very hard for a child to travel thousands of miles home to see him. Therefore, in order to let Cheng Xiao have a good rest, Old Man Cheng refused Cheng Xiao's help. In his opinion, he was not old yet and there was no need to let him go. Grandson helps himself.

In this regard, Cheng Xiao was also very helpless. However, even if he was not allowed to help, he still stood aside and helped to prevent his grandfather from being too tired.

Soon, an old man and a young man prepared a table of dishes. Although they were all home-cooked dishes, they were still delicious and delicious.

I have to say that Old Man Cheng's cooking skills are very good. Even ordinary home-cooked dishes are extremely delicious.

The three of them chatted and laughed while eating, but the smell of the dishes made the greedy shadow soldiers ready to eat.

During the meal, Cheng Xiao also told Old Man Cheng about his cultivation in recent years, what he had encountered, and what interesting things had happened. Of course, this did not include those things that bothered the old man.

Hearing Cheng Xiao say that he had reached the realm of Soul Sect, Old Man Cheng was also happy from ear to ear, "You brat, you really make your grandpa look proud."

After finishing the meal, Cheng Xiao and Ye Langling put away the dishes together, then took out Dugu Bo's green pill from the soul guide, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, this pill was given to me by my friend. Mine, after you take it, you should be able to extend your life by five years."

"Five years of life?" Hearing this, Old Man Cheng was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and cursed with a smile: "Your grandfather and I have already put half of our feet in the coffin. Even if we live for five more years, nothing will change."

"Grandpa doesn't care about anything. As long as you do well and come back to see me when you have time, that's fine."

"Grandpa Cheng, you'd better take it." Facing this warm-hearted elder, Ye Lingling stepped forward and put the pills in Cheng Xiao's hands into old man Cheng's hands, and said with a smile: "No matter what, Cheng Xiao is still waiting. Please stay with him."

"Grandpa, Ling Ling is right, haven't you been waiting for me to get married and have children? You have to live a few more years, otherwise you won't be able to see your grandson." Cheng Xiao said with a smile.

"Okay." After hearing this, Old Man Cheng no longer refused and took the pills handed over by Ye Lingling.

Immediately afterwards, he took the pills according to Cheng Xiao's request.

The pill melted in the mouth, and Old Man Cheng suddenly felt that his body seemed much younger, as if he had returned to a few years ago when he was taking care of Cheng Xiao and had inexhaustible strength.

Seeing Old Man Cheng take the pill, Cheng Xiao and Ye Lingling also smiled with satisfaction.

"It's so late, Xiaoxiao, you and Lingling can sleep in the big house. It's spacious here. I'll sleep in the small house." After taking a look at the darkening sky, Old Man Cheng took out clean bedding for the two of them and spread it out. On the fire bed.

Because they were at the foot of the mountain, it was relatively cold at night. Although Cheng Xiao and Ye Lingling were soul masters and were not afraid of the cold, old man Cheng, who was worried about his children, still lit a fire bed for them.

"Grandpa, you can live in the big house. It's so cold in the small house." Cheng Xiao suggested, looking at the busy old man Cheng.

"Yes, grandpa, Cheng Xiao and I will live in the hut. We are soul masters and we are not particularly afraid of the cold." Ye Lingling, who was worried about Old Cheng's health, said.

"Oh, you two kids are really no match for you." Old Man Cheng shook his head helplessly and said immediately: "Then you can live in the hut. I will burn firewood for you later to keep you warm."

While talking, Old Man Cheng went out to chop wood.

Seeing this, Cheng Xiao and Ye Lingling looked at each other, smiled in unison, and immediately carried the quilt to the hut and laid it out.

It is said to be a small house, but because no one lives there all year round, the room is a bit cold, and the space is a little smaller than that of a big house.

After lighting the kang in the hut, Old Man Cheng told the two of them not to freeze at night, and then went back to the house to sleep.

At this time, Cheng Xiao and Ye Lingling were lying on a fire bed together. Because the fire bed was not big, there was only a gap between the quilts between them.

Feeling the heat coming from the fire bed, Cheng Xiao looked at the somewhat worn ceiling and said apologetically: "Lingling, I'm sorry."

"What are you sorry for?" Ye Lingling turned his head, looked at Cheng Xiao's side face, and chuckled: "Afraid that I will dislike you because of the poor place where you live?"

"Absolutely." Cheng Xiao touched his nose, turned around, looked at Ye Lingling and said, "After all, I have lived in the college for so long, and suddenly living in such a bad place, I think normal people would dislike it, right?"

"It's okay, I think it's not bad." Ye Lingling said with a sweet smile.

"Really? You're not trying to comfort me, are you?" Cheng Xiao smiled.

"I didn't comfort you." Ye Lingling turned away and said, "I just think you are very tired. Being born in a place like this, even going to the Soul Master Academy is difficult."

"It's hard to imagine how much hard work you have put in to grow to where you are today."

"Maybe, but right now, all I want is for the people I care about and the people who care about me to live a good life, that's all."

"Yes, if it is you, I believe it will come true."
