Chapter 983 Chapter 25: Farewell
When everything is ready.
Li Muhan, Lin Ze and Jin Chao, as well as Mo Qiao and Shao Yu, all stood on the runes drawn by Elias using a laurel branch that appeared from nowhere.
"You really don't want to say goodbye?"
In the end, it was Elias who asked Li Muhan first: "Can I step aside for a while?"
Li Muhan knew who he was referring to when he said goodbye.
But Li Muhan just shook his head.
"We'll be back soon. There's no need to make it like a farewell."
"You're too scared to face her."
Elias easily saw through Li Muhan's thoughts.
Li Muhan frowned.
"Why are you talking so much? Do you still want that home theater?"
Elias smiled.
"Alas, working so hard for a living, only to earn enough to buy a stereo, it's not worth it. How could you treat your father-in-law like this?"
"The premise is that you are a qualified father-in-law?" Li Muhan rolled his eyes at him.
At this moment, someone suddenly ran in from the door.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Hear this sound.
Li Muhan's heart beat faster because the person who came was none other than Xia Yue.
"Xia Yue, I..." Li Muhan saw Xia Yue carrying a bag, running over hurriedly, and threw herself into Li Muhan's arms.
"I know what you're going to do...and I know you don't want to take me with you."
Xia Yue said this with a hint of grievance in her tone.
"But I'm not that unreasonable. I'm your wife... and I didn't help them in the Nine-Layered Pagoda. I didn't save them."
There was deep remorse in her voice.
"Xia Yue, that's not your problem. Rather, it's because of you that we were able to allow those members of the Yuehuang City Special Management Bureau to die as human beings with dignity at their last moment."
Deputy Director Yueqing comforted Xia Yue.
"No, that was something Li Muchan entrusted to me, and I didn't do it well." Xia Yue raised her eyes and looked at Li Muchan with tears in her eyes.
"......I know my power is limited now, so I won't hold you back."
"Don't talk nonsense, how could you possibly drag me..."
Without waiting for Li Muhan to finish speaking, Xia Yue took off the backpack behind her and stuffed it into Li Muhan's hand.
"This contains the things I purchased today in Pingjing City. You are in heaven, please take care of yourself."
Although it was very touching, most of the people present almost couldn't hold back their laughter when Xia Yue said this.
This always sounds a bit wrong.
What do you mean by be well in heaven? It sounds like Li Muhan has passed away.
Li Muhan's mouth twitched as he took the backpack.
"Let me guess, it's snacks."
"Um."
Xia Yue admitted it openly.
"Eat well and take care of yourself in heaven."
"...Okay, I'm not a child, why are you like my mom? Oh, by the way, if you have time, go visit my parents. They always say they miss you. Take the two children with you. Chu He's boundary ability is still in effect. Remember, let them pretend to be five or six years old."
"Actually, there's no need to pretend. I think their IQ is about the same as that of a five or six-year-old." Jin Chao interrupted, but was immediately pulled back by Lin Ze.
"Go home and take good care of the children. Remember, even if your sister cooks, don't touch the stove. Do you hear me?"
"If you bump into something, the first aid kit at home is in the second cabinet in the bathroom."
"If an appliance at home breaks down, ask Yin Qi to fix it. If you want to eat something, go out or order takeout. Don't order pre-made dishes from places that don't have physical stores."
"I have a pot of mung bean soup in the refrigerator. Remember to drink it before it goes bad."
"Also, remember to be aware of fire and theft prevention. If you let your sister drive when you go out, don't touch the steering wheel. Be especially careful if the children are around."
"When you go back home, bring my dad some cigarettes. Don't bring the ones Zuo Chi smuggled in; take them from under my closet. Also, remember to bring the coat you bought for Mom last time. Also, I bought your mom some donkey-hide gelatin and blood-enriching health supplements, as well as some bird's nests. I don't know when your mom will grow up. She's still like an eight or nine-year-old, like a chick. Let her get more blood."
Elias couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
"Alright, Li Muhan, it sounds like you're making arrangements for your final resting place. You'd better go and come back quickly."
But Xia Yue listened very carefully. No matter what Li Muhan said, she listened very attentively and nodded continuously.
Some people were already wiping their tears and snot.
"Li Muhan...I, I have to tell you something..." Xia Yue's tears could hardly be stopped.
"What's the matter? I'm about to leave, tell me quickly."
"That's right... didn't you tell me to take Lingyue for regular checkups? Last time I took her to the hospital... the doctor said that this child..."
As she spoke, Xia Yue started crying.
Li Muhan was stunned.
"What? This child... no, it's not mine?"
"What are you talking about?" Xia Yue cried and punched Li Muhan, making him almost vomit blood.
"The doctor said Lingyue's brain development is abnormal... She's 17 years old, but her intelligence is that of a 14-year-old..."
“…Oh, you’re stupid…?”
Li Muhan scratched his head and said, "They are only six years old anyway, so it's okay if they develop a little slower. Okay, don't worry about it. Next time, I'll take Lingyue to the Blood Moon Church and let those... tentacle monsters see."
Finally said the final goodbye.
Xia Yue was hugged by Shuo Bai on the shoulders and waved gently at Li Muhan.
Then the runes under the feet of the few people began to slowly emit bright moonlight.
Elias seemed to be deliberately avoiding conversation with Xia Yue.
He knew that he was not qualified to talk to her now, after all, he was an incompetent father.
Several people were enveloped in white light and slowly began to float in the air.
I don't know who started it, but the whole audience started singing in chorus.
"...Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road... the grass is green and endless..."
"The evening wind blows the willows and the sound of the flute fades... The setting sun shines on the mountains beyond."
Then everyone started crying while singing.
"Why do I feel like they are saying goodbye to the body?"
As his body slowly floated up, Li Muhan felt that the scene was unexpectedly strange.
"...I just saw it. Minister Zou started singing first. I remember it."
The bald Minister Zou from the former Cyber Security Department of the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau was still singing with great passion. He was truly multi-talented.
He is good at talking, learning, joking and singing.
He was the master of ceremonies at Li Muhan's wedding.
"At the end of the sky, at the corner of the earth, half of my friends are gone..."
As a group of people sang, they began waving towards the sky.
Xia Yue was infected by the atmosphere and cried even harder.
"I'm getting goosebumps... Elias, can't you just let us go home faster?"
Li Muhan urged.
"Oh, I thought you were very touched, so I left slowly on purpose." Elias seemed to like the music very much and was enjoying it with his eyes closed.
"Is this how humans in this world bid farewell to the dead? Master, it's really interesting." Shao Yu was waving to the people below.
"...No, don't learn it, don't ask me, I don't know."
Mo Qiao couldn't help it anymore.
"Okay, fly faster. At this speed, the Heavenly Court will be preparing to eat and we haven't even left the atmosphere yet." Lin Ze also urged.
So Elias snapped his fingers.
Then the beam of light suddenly became brighter, and several people were enveloped by the light and disappeared in front of everyone in an instant.
"Hey! The singing hasn't finished yet!" Minister Zou shouted to the sky with an unsatisfied look.
