"Then things will be easy …" "What does that mean?"
Wu Yun asked tentatively.
"It's literally the meaning!"
The little boy elegantly sat on the stone chair. He didn't look like a six or seven year old child at all.
"Do you especially want that box?"
he asked.
"Mm, I do want it!"
Faang Cheng nodded.
"Then... "Let's trade!"
"Trade?"
Faang Cheng touched his pockets subconsciously. The inside of his pockets were empty …
Seeing his actions, the little boy could not help but laugh out loud.
"I don't want money, and besides … You guys don't have the money for this place either! "
"Don't ask for money …" "Then what do you want?"
Faang Cheng was even more confused now.
"What I want is... Help me find my parents! "
The little boy finally said what he wanted.
"Retrieve Mom and Dad?"
Faang Cheng was stunned for a moment. He exchanged a glance with Yu Yien and Wu Yun, then turned to look at the boy.
"Where are your parents?"
Mentioning his parents, this boy who didn't seem to be six or seven years old showed a tiny hint of emotion. His eyes were red, as if he would cry in the next second!
"They... They were in the herbal business in Guard Mountain God. It wasn't easy for them to earn money by leaving early and returning late, and even going up the mountain to pick herbs. However … The bullies in the town still need to collect their protection fees. If my parents don't give them the money, they will destroy my parents' herb stalls and even snatch all of our herbs. My parents couldn't hold back their anger, so they went to the town to ask for herbs, but … They had already been gone for two days and had yet to return! I'm just a child, I can't get out of here, but... "I want to go find my parents …"
It was undeniable that this child was very smart and mature. Faang Cheng felt sorry for him when he saw how he held back his tears and refused to let them fall. He immediately decided to find his parents for him!
"Alright, I'll help you find your parents!"
"Really?"
Seeing Faang Cheng happily agree to his request, the little boy looked at him in disbelief.
"Really, but... You have to return uncle's box to him first! "
"No way!"
The little boy hurriedly denied Faang Cheng's words.
"What if I give you the box and you don't help me find my parents?"
He shook his head like a rattle drum. Faang Cheng looked at him and could not help but smile. He squatted down and touched the child's head.
"Little friend, we adults treat you like a child. If we really want to take back that box, it's actually very simple! Since I am willing to agree to you trading, do you think that … Am I lying to you? "
Faang Cheng looked at the little boy and said. Hearing his words, the little boy stared blankly for a moment before lowering his head. Faang Cheng knew that he was right.
"Uncle knows, you just want to go find your parents. You're taking such a risk and telling us you want to make a deal without even knowing who we are is because you're already desperate!" So, Uncle didn't take away my box forcibly, and even promised you to help you find Mom and Dad, so I definitely wasn't lying! "
Faang Cheng spoke very seriously, and the little boy also understood his words. He lowered his little head and seriously thought about Faang Cheng's words.
Seeing that he had begun to waver, Faang Cheng decided to chase after him. Children were the most difficult thing to do!
"Uncle will tell you in secret, that box contains uncle's power. If you return the box to me, I will have the power to fight against those bullies and bring back your parents!"
As expected, a child was still a child. Hearing Faang Cheng's words, he hurriedly raised his head.
"Really?"
"Really, I won't lie to you …"
Faang Cheng used the gaze he thought was the most sincere to look at this simple-minded kid who looked smart but was actually pretending to be mature.
The little boy bit his lips and was conflicted for a long time. Finally... He stood up and ran into the thatched cottage. When he came out again, there was a black box in his hand. It was Faang Cheng's Saint King's Bone Box!
"Here, quickly take back your power and help me find my parents!"
The little boy passed the box to Faang Cheng with some difficulty. Faang Cheng quickly took the box that he lost and let out a long sigh of relief.
"We... Are we really going to help him find his parents? "
Wu Yun asked behind Faang Cheng.
"Find!" Since he was going to look for Chao Xi and the old man, he might as well … Let's look for it together! "
The Saint King's Bone Box had memories of him, so even if he did not have any spiritual energy, he could still open it. The moment the bone box was opened, threads of spiritual energy of different colors rushed out impatiently, found their master, and entered their bodies once more …
Feeling his energy quickly returning to his body, Faang Cheng had a very rich feeling. Looking at the confused look on the little boy's face, he couldn't help but smile as he bent down and pinched his chubby cheeks.
"Although you can't see, uncle is absorbing energy!"
"Really? Is there really a power here? "
The little boy looked at the Saint King's Bone Box in surprise.
"Yes, there is. Uncle will let you see it later!"
After Faang Cheng, Yu Yien and Wu Yun finished absorbing their spiritual energy, Faang Cheng kept the Saint King's Bone Box back into his backpack.
"That's it?"
The little boy could not help but ask curiously when he saw him put the bone box away.
"Okay, now do you want uncle to show you my power?"
Faang Cheng looked at the little boy with a smile.
"Alright, alright!"
The little boy immediately clapped excitedly!
Living in this world of mirrors was a mystical and strange thing, so Faang Cheng seemed to suddenly relax. He put down all his disguises and wanted to be himself for real!
He walked to the center of the courtyard, looked at the sky, and waved his hand.
"Whirlwind …"
He was explaining to the little boy. The little boy was staring at the empty ground in front of him expectantly, but … After a long time, there was nothing …
"Uncle, where is the tornado?" "You lied to me …"
The little boy pouted and stared at Faang Cheng in front of him, looking unsatisfied.
At this moment … Faang Cheng himself was even more shocked as he looked at his hands in shock.
"Why …" "Will it be like this?"
"What's wrong?"
Yu Yien seemed to have felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly went forward and asked, and Faang Cheng slowly turned his head towards him.
"My entire body is filled with spiritual energy … "But what's going on? Why can't I use it?"
"He can't use it?"
Yu Yien was surprised for a moment and then hurriedly did the same. As expected, he was still unable to use it. The two men looked at each other in confusion.
"Could it be … In this place, the usage of spiritual energy is impossible? "
"There's a seal here …"
Faang Cheng revealed this shocking matter with a single sentence. The two of them felt a burst of panic in their hearts. If they really couldn't use their spiritual energy here … Then how were they supposed to find them? Found someone … How could he bring them back?
This matter... But it was too serious …
