Chapter 6 Family
◎Loneliness◎
Edith's coming-of-age ceremony was grand and solemn, gathering celebrities from all walks of life. People gathered in groups of two or three, drinking and toasting.
Shi Hanqiao, who was alone, seemed very awkward. She moved calmly among the crowd, ignoring the glances that were mixed with curiosity and disdain.
Normally, she ignored other people's stares. Occasionally, when she felt interested, she would follow someone's gaze and stare back, making them feel embarrassed and quickly look away.
Another person withdrew his gaze from Shi Hanqiao's sight.
Shi Hanqiao found a corner and sat down: [None of these kids are interesting.]
Hunyuan Ling: [Isn't there one?]
【who? 】
[Luo Wusheng! The one you said you were interested in when you were invigilating.] Hunyuan Ling felt something was wrong.
Shi Hanqiao was surprised: [Is he here today? ]
He also lost his body. Hunyuan Ling couldn't hold his forehead. He said helplessly: [You just asked him, are you there?]
Shi Hanqiao recalled and put the people in the corridor and the people in the examination room together.
[It’s him. I remember now.]
[You know I'm a bit face-blind.] She just learned the term face-blindness. She felt it suited her perfectly. In the world of cultivation, she often forgot people's faces.
[Ha!]
Hunyuan Ling sneered, he really couldn't hold back the desire to complain.
[I didn't know you. You've lost interest in me and you don't care anymore, so you can't recognize me when you see me up close.]
[You're not face-blind, you just don't take it to heart.]
Shi Hanqiao raised an eyebrow: [Are you speaking for Luo Wusheng? ]
[Not really, I'm just targeting you and want to complain about you.] Shi Hanqiao is his master, it's true, but he is also an ancient artifact after all, and is different from those magical instruments that obey their masters' orders.
Hunyuan Ling could probably guess why Shi Hanqiao lost interest in Luo Wusheng, because there appeared a W that she was more interested in.
W is not only interesting, but also beneficial to her.
When it comes to itself, Hunyuan Ling also pays more attention to W.
[What kind of sparring partner are you really planning on being?]
[The deposit has been received.] Shi Hanqiao curled up on the sofa, casually holding a glass of champagne, looking through the pale orange liquid at the people whose faces were embedded with smiling masks.
[It's not like you haven't been robbed before.] Hunyuan Ling was talking about something that happened a long time ago, so long ago that she was just a child.
Shi Hanqiao picked up the wine glass and drank it all: [I am now a good citizen.]
Demon Lord, good citizen.
Hunyuan Ling's mouth twitched: [Lying will get you struck by lightning.]
He wanted to say something else. Now it was his body that needed to be built. He should always follow up on the progress and ask what Shi Hanqiao thought and what she planned to do.
But in the end, he still didn't say it. He believed Shi Hanqiao and didn't need a reason.
Hunyuan Ling has always hated cultivators and has disliked Han Qiao since she made a contract with her when she was little. Later on, they 'loved and hated each other' but lived in peace.
Until she passed the ascension tribulation, there were eighty-one soul-destroying thunders. He withstood the first forty, and Shi Hanqiao took him back. She withstood the last forty, which were even more violent, by herself.
The last thunder tribulation, with its destructive power, was something Shi Hanqiao could not withstand, but she still planned to withstand it herself instead of sacrificing him.
Hunyuan Ling complained to herself countless times about being stupid. Why did he run out to take the blame for her during the last thunder tribulation, and ended up losing his body in the end?
But thinking about it carefully, he actually didn't regret it.
【Thanks to you, I was not killed by the lightning. 】
Shi Hanqiao's expression became serious, while Hunyuan Ling felt a little embarrassed. She found an excuse to look up information and hid in the Star Network data.
Shi Hanqiao glanced at the time. The room was as bright as day and people were in high spirits, but it was already dark outside.
She said goodbye to Edith and walked out, planning to find an open place to launch the starship.
On the garden path, she happened to meet Luo Wusheng who was walking out from the other direction. He walked past as if he didn't see her and didn't even glance at her.
Hunyuan Ling had just mentioned him, so Shi Hanqiao wouldn't have forgotten so quickly. At least she had given him a way out. So cold...
She took two quick steps and saw him turn the corner and get on a space shuttle with a five-star symbol circled on the hatch.
She seemed to have seen this sign somewhere.
This is not important. Shi Hanqiao stopped, released the starship and left the Kovia family.
*
When Luo Wusheng boarded the spaceship and saw the happy family of four, he took a deep breath and suppressed the negative emotions surging in his heart.
Emperor Tan'an Serral was ninety years old, in the prime of life in a galaxy where the average age was 200.
Sitting next to him was Ander and Lisen's father, the second Queen Leia Black. He was a male Omega with delicate eyebrows and a gentle temperament.
Leia greeted warmly, "Visir, you're here."
Luo Wusheng had a blank expression on his face. He didn't look at Leia's gentle smile, but said directly to Tan An, "Father, what do you want from me?"
The emperor said in a dissatisfied tone: "You didn't say hello to your parents when you met them. What's your attitude?"
Luo Wusheng curled his lips: "I called you father."
"You didn't call Leia daddy."
Leia pulled Tan'an, who spoke in a stern tone, and seemed to be comforting him, but she didn't say a word.
Luo Wusheng smiled faintly: "You also mentioned my parents. It's true that the person who gave birth to me is an Omega, but I'm still not so confused about the difference between boys and girls."
"You don't have to remind me that I place a bouquet of flowers in front of my mother's tablet every day."
When mentioning the deceased Luo Ningyou, Leia and Tan'an's faces froze for a moment. The former had a look of pity and sorrow, while the latter was like a lion whose tail was stepped on and could do nothing.
Tan An no longer hesitated and changed the subject: "Do you know Shi Qi's daughter?"
Luo Wusheng suddenly found it funny. The abacus was making such a loud noise.
"I don't know him." He looked indifferent, just wanting to hear what other absurd words his biological father could say.
Why would I help you if I don't know her?
Tan An gave a fatherly smile: "Young people should communicate more."
"You applied to Sphinx, and you and Shi Qi's daughter will be classmates in the future. When you go to Xiya Star, you can help each other."
Luo Wusheng didn't respond.
Tan An was a little embarrassed, and Leia chimed in, "Visir, you are an Omega after all. Don't be too aggressive. Shi Qi's daughter is an Alpha after all."
Tan An nodded in agreement: "Omegas should be docile. You should learn more from your brother."
Lisen lowered his head, revealing his fair neck, and sat quietly and obediently beside him.
"If that's what you're thinking, then you shouldn't be telling me this. Instead, you should be putting your heart and soul into finding an Alpha for your precious Omega who won't cheat or stray." Luo Wusheng paused, then added, "That seems too much for you. However, you can let him emit pheromones to find a highly compatible Alpha. You just need to teach him how to survive with an Alpha."
Every word he said was pointed. Luo Wusheng glanced at Li Sen, whose expression was unclear as he lowered his head. Then he turned his gaze back to the two 'elders' who looked embarrassed and angry after their fig leaf was torn off. "Don't give me this kind of advice anymore. I don't want to hear it."
Luo Wusheng looked out the window: "Let's stop here. The Luo family is just ahead. I should go see my grandpa."
His reasons were reasonable, and Tan'an had no way to force him to stay, so he had to hold his breath and let him go under Leia's gentle comfort.
Luo Wusheng looked at Leia who was obviously angry but had to put on a smile to comfort Tan An. He didn't feel relieved at all, but just felt it was pathetic and ridiculous.
After getting off the starship, Luo Wusheng walked into the Luo family.
The Luo family's main house was very quiet, and the others should not have returned from the Kovia family yet.
The old man also went, but he was old after all, so he came back early.
Luo Ningling said: "Wei...Asheng is here, Dad is in the study upstairs."
Luo Wusheng called the Omega in front of him, who was only two years older than him and somewhat similar to his deceased mother, "Auntie". After chatting for a few words, he went upstairs.
When going upstairs, Luo Wusheng walked very slowly. He didn't know what he was resisting, and he knocked on the study door with his hesitant hand.
After Luo Wusheng entered the room, he took the initiative to show concern. His attitude was completely different from that towards the royal family. He answered every question the old man asked.
Until the old man mentioned that he had applied for the exam.
"Have you made up your mind? This road is not easy to walk on." The old man said it tactfully. In fact, there was no way ahead for Luo Wusheng. No Omega had applied for the military command department before.
No Omega would directly break up with his Alpha brother and fight to the death.
Luo Wusheng said firmly: "I will find a way out."
The old man nodded and pulled him to talk about other things. The topic finally fell on Luo Wuming: "A Ming has been close to you since childhood. After all, you are not children anymore. There is a difference between AO and AO. You still need to pay attention to your distance."
Luo Wusheng closed his eyes, and his mind was filled with the years he spent with the old man after his mother's death.
He opened his eyes and saw that the gray-haired, energetic old man in front of him was no longer the gentle and kind man he remembered.
"I see."
Luo Wusheng didn't want to argue with the old man, at least not now.
The old man said a few more words of concern, "Stay here tonight and let the servants clean your room."
"No thanks." He blurted out his refusal. Luo Wusheng opened his mouth to mention his mother as an excuse to leave, but then he changed his mind and didn't want to add to the old woman's sadness, so he said, "I plan to go to West Asia tomorrow and need to pack my luggage."
Mr. Luo curled his lips and said, "Since you have made your decision, I won't keep you here."
Luo Wusheng drove the starship away from the Luo family and returned to his home where he was alone.
The watch flashed, and countless messages popped up. Luo Wuming, the Blake siblings, and the Covia siblings were chatting enthusiastically in the group, constantly tagging him and making appointments to meet in the Star Realm Lounge.
[You guys play, I'm not going]
After replying the message, Luo Wusheng fell on the bed and closed his eyes.
After a long time he opened his eyes. The room was dark, but he didn't want to turn on the light.
Under the moonlight outside the window, Luo Wusheng got out of bed and lay down in the star cabin, choosing stealth mode to enter the star realm.
The astral realm was just as dark as reality, with the moonlight shining brightly, sometimes hiding beneath dark clouds, sometimes peeked out to shine on passersby. Walking on the bustling streets, Luo Wusheng couldn't tell the difference between virtual and reality based solely on the images he saw and the sounds he heard.
But he was very clear-headed. He had never been so lonely and sober as he was now.
In reality, he could only return to the empty room, and it seemed that there was nowhere for him to go in the astral world.
Luo Wusheng brought up the light screen and planned to exit the star realm, but accidentally a dialogue interface with the Demon Lord popped up, and the link was still there.
She didn’t actually send a temporary link!
The Star Realm is divided into private and team lounges, which are very independent and private.
No one will permanently share his lounge with someone he just met and is still testing each other; no one will easily enter a space where the other party can set up defense at will.
But for some unknown reason, Luo Wusheng clicked on the link and disappeared on the spot.
Shi Hanqiao stood in the lounge. If she played one more game, she would be able to reach L5. Seeing [Huoran] who ranked first on the L4 list come online, she clicked on the system match.
W's sudden appearance disrupted her plan. He still had that template face and nothing could be seen from his appearance, but Shi Hanqiao felt that something was wrong with him.
Without hesitation, she clicked to cancel the match, not caring at all about how violent a reaction her action would provoke from the audience waiting to see her fight with Huo Ran.
Shi Hanqiao asked him: "Does the sparring start now?"
Luo Wusheng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect her to be there, nor did he expect that she didn't care at all about him breaking into her private territory like this.
He nodded to accept the invitation, and for some reason, the loneliness seemed to dissipate a little.
