Chapter 42 First Steps into the World



Ning Qing gently patted his back without saying a word.

Seeing the little boy like this left her unsure how to respond.

Because of his impulsive act of fighting, the two are now separated by death, and the mission has been interrupted.

Bah, she didn't die, she just left that body.

"Xia, be good, your husband will stay with you," he will stay by your side, but he just can't see you or hug you.

"Really? Sir, you're not lying?"

Su Xia's eyes lit up instantly.

"Sir, you are not lying. You can accompany me for life, but..."

Before I could finish speaking, my son interrupted me.

"I don't want to hear just, there is no just."

Su Xia instinctively knew that what followed wouldn't be what he wanted to hear, so he hurriedly interrupted.

Ning Qing cupped his face and gently kissed his forehead.

Su Xia's anxious emotions seemed to be paused by this kiss.

"Xia, you should know that my body has stopped breathing."

Ning Qing slowly uttered the cruel yet realistic words.

"gentlemen……".

Su Xia couldn't help but shed her first tear as an adult.

He thought he had been through so much and was strong enough that he would never shed tears again.

He cried today; his heart ached with pain...

It's all because of someone he cherishes deeply in his heart—Mr. Ning!

He always treated Mr. Ning with great care, not daring to reveal his covetousness towards him.

She was afraid of revealing even the slightest flaw and being disliked, yet at the same time, she was excited to reveal even the slightest flaw so that her husband could understand her feelings.

He was constantly oscillating between these two complex emotions.

The teacher was the light in his world; without the teacher, he lost all the light in the world.

He will carry the burden alone, facing a future shrouded in darkness.

He cannot lose his husband.

He couldn't help but scream internally...

Ning Qing saw the little boy in front of her, whose mood was obviously low.

She cupped his face and kissed him deeply again.

Su Xia snapped out of her gloom after losing Mr. Ning and was momentarily stunned.

Ning Qing gently patted the baby's head.

"Little fool."

Ning Qing smiled gently, her eyes softening and melting the other person's heart.

Su Xia stared blankly at Ning Qing.

Who wouldn't love a man like that? Who could refuse him?

"My husband said he would stay with me."

Su Xia spoke as if to herself, yet at just the right moment so that the other person could hear her.

Ning Qing quickly ruffled the baby's hair and smoothed it.

"Yes, I will accompany you throughout your life, but I won't be able to be by your side."

"But I can see everything about you."

"I can sense your joy, anger, sorrow and happiness."

"So Xia, can you live a happy and safe life?"

My mission is only complete if you can live safely until you reach the end of your life.

Ning Qing looked at the boy opposite her with an expression of entrusting him with a great responsibility.

"I so want to travel all over the world, but I no longer have the chance."

Ning Qing let out a sigh, feigning regret.

"Can you take me to see all over the world?"

His eyes shone with anticipation.

"Promise me that you will live safely, carrying my share of the experience, and help me experience the birth, aging, sickness, and death that I have never experienced, okay?"

Ning Qing looked at the baby pitifully, almost pleadingly.

"I can agree to that, but I have one condition: I want to see you in my dreams once a month."

"That's... impossible every month."

The Dream Entry Technique also requires the support of soul power, but since there is no spiritual power in this world, it cannot be used frequently.

"How often can you come to see me?"

"About six months."

After saying that, Ning Qing regretted it a little, realizing that half a year had been wasted on her soul power.

“Okay, we’ll meet once every six months. Sir, you can’t go back on your word,” Su Xia said quickly, afraid that Ning Qing would change his mind.

"Alright, I should go now."

As if remembering something, Ning Qing paused for a moment.

He turned to look at Su Xia.

"Just burn my body already, it'll rot and I don't like the smell."

After saying that, Ning Qing waved goodbye and left without looking back.

The gentleman was right; he had been by my side the whole time.

He knew that he was sleeping while holding him.

~~、~~、~~

Ning Qing watched Su Xia live out his life in the system space, together with the system.

He carried Ning Qing's ashes to every corner of the world.

He fell seriously ill at the age of 79 and did not survive.

As he breathed his last, a beam of golden light shot up from his body, and the system instructed Ning Qing to collect it immediately.

The mission is complete only when all the golden light is collected.

Ning Qing took the men's jade pendant that the system had somehow obtained and absorbed the golden light into it.
