Chapter 53 Taking Advantage
Upon hearing "father" and "mother," Li Lianhua remembered to ask, "Brother, where are Father and Mother?"
Li Xiangxian fell silent, his eyes dimming. "I didn't see my parents." He didn't know why his parents weren't here.
Li Lianhua looked at Qing'er with some confusion. What was going on? Her brother was here, so why weren't their parents?
Qing'er understood his gaze and explained, "Your brother is here because his obsession is too deep. Before your parents passed away, they told him to take good care of you, but he passed away when you were so young. He was worried about you, so he couldn't go to the underworld to be reincarnated and could only stay where he was buried."
Li Lianhua felt a sharp pain in his heart, and tears instantly streamed down his face. He blamed himself, thinking it was all his fault for forgetting his brother and not coming to see him for so long, making his brother unable to rest in peace even in death.
Seeing Li Lianhua so sad, Li Xiangxian was at a loss and wanted to go forward to wipe away her tears, but his hand passed right through hers. He could only anxiously say, "Xiangyi, don't cry. It's good for your brother to be here. This is our home. Here, I can think of our parents and you."
It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because the moment he did, Li Lianhua's tears flowed even more fiercely. Li Xiangxian could only look to Qing'er for help.
Qing'er looked at Li Lianhua, who was crying again, and sighed inwardly. What a little crybaby. That's what she thought, but she still said, "Li Lianhua, do you want your brother to stay with you forever?"
Li Lianhua was stunned, even forgetting to cry, thinking she had misheard. "What? My brother isn't already...?" Could he still stay with her?
“I can keep your brother here,” Qing’er said softly.
Li Lianhua's eyes lit up instantly, but quickly dimmed again. Although he had never asked about Qing'er's identity, he knew that Qing'er was no ordinary person.
Keeping a dead person alive would definitely come at a price. He didn't want anything to happen to Qing'er. This matter had nothing to do with her in the first place, and he couldn't be so selfish.
Qing'er seemed to know what he was thinking and said confidently, "It's just a small matter, there won't be any harm."
Li Lianhua asked somewhat nervously, "Really?" Li Xiangxian, standing beside him, didn't seem to care. He was content just to see Xiangyi once. Although he also wanted to stay with Xiangyi forever, he wouldn't have any regrets if he couldn't, as long as his younger brother was alright.
He could feel that this place no longer bound him, and that he would soon be leaving. Besides, what world could allow the dead to remain in the human realm forever?
"Hmm, I'll give him a ghost cultivation technique. He can practice according to it and become a ghost cultivator," Qing'er chuckled.
After hearing this, Li Lianhua stepped forward and hugged her excitedly, saying, "Qing'er, thank you."
Li Xiangxian was also excited. He didn't know this girl, but he trusted Xiangyi, so he could really stay with his younger brother forever.
Qing'er was stunned when he suddenly hugged her, and her face turned red at a visible speed. In all her life, apart from her mother and sisters, she had never been hugged like this before.
Li Lianhua realized his behavior was inappropriate the moment he hugged Qing'er, but when he felt that Qing'er did not push him away, an indescribable joy welled up in his heart.
He thought to himself, "As long as Qing'er doesn't resist him, that's fine." Cough cough, is it possible that she just hasn't realized it yet?
Just then, a sly glint flashed in Li Lianhua's eyes. He turned his head slightly, gently rested his head against Qing'er's neck, and then, like a spoiled puppy, gently rubbed against Qing'er's neck. "Qing'er, it's so good to have you."
When he brushed against her neck, Qing'er felt a ticklish sensation, as if countless tiny ants were crawling on it. She couldn't help but shudder, instantly snapping out of her daze.
She was speechless, inwardly thinking, "Why does this guy act like a giant dog?" Although she felt a little helpless, she didn't show her displeasure. Oh well, she'd let it go since he praised her. He had good taste, and she thought she was great, the best in the world, hehe!
Seeing that the two seemed to have forgotten his presence, especially Xiang Yi, who was taking advantage of the girl, Li Xiangxian's excitement instantly subsided.
