After her consciousness settled, Qin Nan slowly opened her eyes in the white space. Before she could even adjust to the light, she felt a large hand roughly rubbing her head.
Qin Nan avoided looking directly at the person in front of him, and when he finally saw who it was, he froze on the spot.
Qin An... or rather Su Kun, whom he hadn't seen for many years, was standing in front of him, looking at him with a bright smile.
Su Kun: "Daddy's sweet baby, it's been so long! Did you miss Daddy?"
Qin Nan nodded, choking back tears, and couldn't hold back any longer, rushing forward to throw herself into Su Kun's arms.
Su Kun looked lovingly at the little boy in his arms, who had grown up, and gently patted his back, coaxing him just like when he was a child.
Su Kun: "You've worked so hard all these years, little one. I knew you would find this place."
Qin Nan nodded silently, not daring to speak, afraid that her voice would be too choked and the tears welling up in her eyes would fall.
He's not a crybaby, but he really misses his mom and dad.
His mother was told she was going to pass away a long time ago, and then his father passed away too. He and his grandfather depended on each other for survival, but eventually his grandfather also passed away due to a serious illness.
Over the years, he has endured so much suffering, yet he has remained strong. Even after meeting Bai Hao, he still had to process many things on his own because he had forgotten the past, so as not to worry others.
Upon seeing his father again, Qin Nan was overwhelmed with years of grievances and bitterness, along with memories of the past he had long forgotten in the dark and hopeless underworld. Only his father came to him and said he would take him away.
After a long pause, Qin Nan finally managed to hold back her tears. She hadn't seen her father in a long time and didn't want him to think of her as a child who could still cry.
Qin Nan: "Dad, what are you doing here? Can't you get out? Why didn't you come to find me? Grandpa... he's already gone..."
Su Kun paused for a moment, then calculated the time in his mind. Although it was earlier than he had expected, it was still about time.
After all, giving up everything to become an ordinary person comes at a price.
He patted Qin Nan's head again, apologizing, "I'm sorry, little one. What you see of your father now is just my divine will left here. I can't find you, just like Bai Hao back then. Don't hate him, you'll understand eventually."
As for Grandpa... don't be sad, it was his choice. Your grandpa was once a Fusang tree in the realm of mountains and seas. Later, he came to the human world and met Grandma.
Because Grandma's background was also very complicated, in short, Grandma could not enter the cycle of reincarnation. Once she died, there would be no next life, nor would there be any more lifetimes.
Grandpa, deeply in love, chose to live as an ordinary person, to spend his life with Grandma, and then accompany her in death. After Grandpa dies, he too will vanish into nothingness, like Grandma, without reincarnation.
Qin Nan listened to the sudden truth with surprise and felt heartbroken. When he was very young, only two or three years old, his grandmother was still alive and loved him very much, holding and comforting him every day.
No wonder Grandpa was despondent for a long time after Grandma passed away. It was Mom and Dad who took care of him until Mom left, and only then did Grandpa turn his attention to Qin Nan.
The tears I had held back for so long still stubbornly streamed down my face.
Su Kun raised his hand to wipe away Qin Nan's tears.
Su Kun: "They are happy, baby, don't be sad."
Qin Nan: "Dad, where's Mom? Where is Mom? And where is your true form? Can I come find you?"
Su Kun paused for a moment, then did not answer.
Su Kun: "Baby, perhaps your birth is related to the seed my mother was looking for. From the moment I met you, the things I had doubted began to make sense."
My dear child, don't blame your father for being cruel. At times like these, I'm telling you that your parents can't love you or stay by your side like other parents.
Even, Dad saved you not only because he felt sorry for you, but also for his own reasons. Of course, I later realized that it was also something I owed you.
Next, Dad wants to tell you something, something that Mom and Dad have been planning for a very long time. I know you will come here, and once you come here, you will remember everything from the past.
Then the final plan can be implemented, and you, my little one, are the most important link; you'll be in charge of all those things...
But... perhaps those things weren't good for you.
Dad gave you a choice, and it's okay if you don't choose it. Mom couldn't bear to see you do it, and she even considered not letting me tell you.
But I think you will still make the same choice.
Because you are just like your father's mother, kind-hearted and compassionate, but I don't want you to end up like her!
Qin Nan looked at Su Kun, who seemed somewhat grief-stricken, with a puzzled expression.
Su Kun pinched the baby's face, forced a smile, and then pressed his forehead against Qin Nan's forehead.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Nan felt something rush into his mind, and after he received all the information, his body couldn't help but tremble.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back in the room where the painting was kept, and my father had disappeared.
Before Qin Nan could think about what she had learned, she saw a shadow covering the ground in front of her.
He grabbed the scroll and rolled to the side to dodge it. The next moment, he saw a black jar smash the desk.
Qiong Ruiheng, who was a step too late, was terrified and lashed out at the jar with his tail.
However, just as the jar was about to hit the wall, four limbs suddenly appeared, braced themselves against the wall, and then rolled over and landed steadily on the ground.
Qiong Ruiheng had no idea what these jars were made of; they were strangely sturdy. Even though he, as a divine beast, struck them with his strength, they were completely unharmed.
The human head in the jar was covered in an unknown medicinal powder, which was also the source of the strange smell earlier.
Qiong Ruiheng was extremely frustrated fighting them; aside from preventing them from getting close to Qin Nan, he had no other options.
