Once they reached a deserted area, Tian Guang stopped and said calmly, "Ask whatever you want."

Tian Guang found a relatively clean rock and sat down, feeling a mix of emotions as he watched Bai Meng walk over.

Bai Meng is a tiger demon, and also a great demon of a thousand years, who hates humans to the core.

Asking her to save lives isn't easy; she's only refraining from killing because of Su Tiantian.

Su Tiantian cares about her a lot, and now that she's come to ask him, he'll naturally tell Bai Meng everything.

Tianguang would do anything to help the little guy.

"How did you convince yourself to do things for others? Don't you find people disgusting?"

Bai Meng sat down by the sunlight. She hated everyone except those related to Su Tiantian.

Along the way, Bai Meng found the emotions of those who greeted Su Tiantian's family too complicated and felt very disgusted.

These people aren't bad people, but whether they're good or bad, they're all equally hated by Bai Meng.

"I agree with what you said. People are really disgusting, especially since we are more likely to encounter disgusting people. However, I have some different opinions recently. Demons can be good or evil, and so can humans. We can't condemn them all."

As Tian Guang spoke, he looked up at the sky again. He had thought a lot over the past few years, and his heart was changing.

"There is an upper realm above the lower realm. This is the rule of this world. So I will follow the rules of this world. Maybe I will be able to go up and see it in my lifetime."

Tian Guang narrowed his eyes, finished speaking, and got up to leave.

This time, Bai Meng didn't follow.

Tian Guang's words did not comfort her, so there was no need to ask any more questions. However, she kept Tian Guang's last words in mind.

When you can't make the rules, you can only follow them.

Bai Meng walked back along the road, and could faintly hear the sound of waves crashing against the rocks.

Bai Meng looked at the sea, and joyful laughter came from the wind. With a light leap, Bai Meng's figure quickly disappeared from the spot.

...

Su Tiantian and her family strolled slowly on the beach.

It was already dark, and there were hardly any people on the beach at night in winter.

Only a few individuals were seen digging and picking things up on the beach.

Liu Xue and Wang Haihai each carried a bucket, just to pick something new.

There are very small sand crabs; you can find quite a few of them by breaking open the rocks.

A dorsal fin followed far away on the sea surface, talking to Su Tiantian.

Yu Qing asked Su Tiantian a lot of questions, and Su Tiantian answered them all.

The two were old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Meeting in a dream is different.

After digesting their meal along the beach, the family went home to rest.

The next day, Su Dahai, Su Chenggong, and Su Chengguo took their families out to sea.

Liu Xue and Wang Haihai, both blind, are trying out fishing.

"I caught another fish!"

Liu Xue's face was flushed, and she picked up her fishing rod to start reeling in the line.

"Haha, me too! Auntie, look! My luck has improved!"

Wang Haihai had the same expression, grinning from ear to ear.

Lin the Blind Man shook his head, calmly pulling the line, as if no one had fish.

Su Tiantian shook her head. They were all adults, yet they seemed even more childish than her.

The entire ocean belongs to her; she has people in the sea, and fish will only rush to take her bait one after another.

Just from fishing, bucket after bucket has filled up.

We ate steamed fish, grilled fish, and fried fish on the boat at noon.

As dusk fell, the fishing boats slowly returned to port, and the family disembarked, chatting and laughing.

Upon seeing them disembark, a woman holding a child rushed over.

Liu Xiaohua's face immediately turned cold: "How many times have I told you? Don't come looking for my family. My family has had absolutely no connection with them for a long time!"

The person holding the child was none other than Xia Yuwei.

Liu Xiaohua was annoyed whenever she saw her, but there was really nothing she could do about it.

In just a few short years, Xia Yuwei went from a vibrant young woman to a woman with dry hair and a sallow complexion.

She has been visiting the Su family frequently this year, with only one purpose: to arrange a meeting between Su Luo and Yi Guohai.

It started with Yi Guohai coming to find them. After he was beaten by Su Chengguo and Su Chenggong, Xia Yuwei came with her daughter. The Su family didn't hold back when beating Yi Guohai, but they didn't hit Xia Yuwei.

"Auntie, I just want to say one sentence to Su Luo, just one sentence!"

Xia Yuwei's expression was humble and ingratiating.

The girl she was holding also looked timid; the weather was already so cold, but their clothes didn't fit properly.

Xia Yuwei's clothes looked old-fashioned because they were all hand-me-downs from Zhao Guifang.

The clothes her daughter, Yi Tingting, was wearing were clearly too small, and her little face was red from the cold.

She had long regretted it, but there was no turning back for her.

As Xia Yuwei and Liu Xiaohua were talking, their eyes were already fixed on Su Luo.

Su Luo was wearing a white cotton coat, a current trend, paired with black woolen trousers and leather shoes. She was very fair-skinned, with neat and tidy short hair that reached her ears. Her beautiful features exuded a mature and intellectual temperament. When their eyes met, Xia Yuwei felt so inferior that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

But she couldn't leave; she had to talk to Su Luo.

"A-Luo, don't mind her. She looks pitiful now, but that's what she deserves!"

Zhou Chunmei tugged at Su Luo's wrist and was about to leave.

Li Xue stepped forward to block Xia Yuwei's view. Su Chengguo and Su Chenggong remained calm, knowing they would stop Xia Yuwei if she lunged at them.

Su Luo held Su Tiantian's chubby little hand. She looked at Su Tiantian, and Su Tiantian looked up at her with a bright smile.

"Mom, go ahead."

Su Tiantian knew that Su Luo would meet with Xia Yuwei, but she didn't stop her. She would support whatever her mother did.

Moreover, her mother had her own reasons.

Su Luo smiled slightly and nodded.

She told her family, "Mom, I'll just talk to her for a bit and then come back."

Zhou Chunmei released her grip, reminding her with concern, "A'Luo, be careful!"

Su Luo nodded. She knew Xia Yuwei wasn't being kind-hearted, so she naturally wouldn't be completely unguarded.

Xia Yuwei's expression changed several times as she saw that Su Luo was willing to talk to her.

Over the years, Su Luo would occasionally hear about the Yi family from Zhou Chunmei and Li Xue, and she knew that Xia Yuwei and Yi Guohai were both having a hard time.

Su Luo walked a short distance and stopped. She watched as Xia Yuwei led Yi Tingting slowly towards her, their feet clearly uneven. Su Luo's expression darkened.

"Su Luo, you must be very happy to see me like this, right?"

Xia Yuwei's face was pale, and she felt a morbid jealousy in her heart.

It shouldn't be like this; she should have a bright future.

But Su Luo is doing well now, while her life is full of darkness.

Su Luo looked directly at Xia Yuwei and said calmly, "I feel neither happy nor unhappy to see you like this. Since I left the Yi family, you and I have had no connection anymore. I didn't see you to mock you."

"You've been bothering my family just to see me and say a few words? Well, now that I'm standing in front of you, say what you want to say, but don't bother me and my family again after you're done."

Su Luo was decisive and efficient, without any ridicule or mockery.
