When did he leave?

Ying Bing sat up. The room beside her was empty. She looked around and saw the room bathed in the morning light, so bright that it was almost blinding.

The sun should be high in the sky by now.

She knew that Li Mo had appeared in her dream last night.

In fact, she had already woken up when Li Mo was drawing her portrait, but faced with those hazy, long-forgotten beauties, she subconsciously deceived herself.

Now, the hazy memories have been erased, and everything from my dreams appears vividly before my eyes.

He earnestly deceived himself into calling himself "brother."

The Calamity Beast that came knocking ten years ago.

And the look of relief and joy in their eyes when their parents passed away.

"Six Apertures of Divine Observation..."

Ying Bing discovered that her cultivation level had increased, but she didn't seem to feel overjoyed at all.

She sat down at the tea table, brewed a cup of tea in the sunlight, and quietly gazed at her reflection in the tea.

Her clear, almond-shaped eyes were slightly red, with a hint of confusion.

Own.

Something seems different?

Previously, her childhood memories were very vague, but at this moment, those memories were vivid in her mind.

And.

The words spoken by the parents in the dream before the dream faded clearly went beyond the scope of what is possible in a dream...

A jumble of thoughts flashed through her mind, but she couldn't figure out whether it was because she had been reborn or something else.

After a while, Ying Bing picked up her teacup and took a small sip.

The words her parents had spoken in her dream flashed through her mind.

'Dreams eventually end, as long as it was a beautiful dream.'

After drinking the tea, Ying Bing returned to the bedside and squatted down.

Under the bed, there was a box she had forgotten about for a long time, which she had kept there all along.

The box was covered in dust and wasn't locked.

"I remember now."

"I didn't always spend my birthday alone, at least not... when I was at the Li Mansion."

"A long, long time ago, I received birthday presents every year on my birthday."

Snap--

The box was opened, and the dust caused ripples of dazzling sunlight to spread through it.

Rag dolls... rattles... silver bells... the room is full of things little girls would like.

These lost beauties, after many years, have been bathed in warm sunlight once again.

"He would give me something for every birthday when I was little."

Ying Bing lowered her eyes, softening her features and making her even more radiant.

Meanwhile...

Three-Hall Joint Trial is being held in the main hall of the Li family!

Li Dalong sat at the dining table, holding a steamed bun in his hand, and took a sip of winter melon and pork rib soup. His serious expression made him look exactly like a stern old man.

Ms. Xueqin crossed her arms, a rare sight for the usually gentle woman, and looked at her beloved son with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Gulp..."

Prisoner Little Li swallowed hard.

This kind of spectacle hasn't been seen in a long time.

His parents never raised him strictly; they adopted a more relaxed approach, never suppressing his natural instincts. As a result, little Li's childhood was somewhat unpleasant to most people.

It was a serious mistake, like writing tally marks on a schoolteacher's face.

It was at this moment that his father, Li Dalong, stepped in, gave him a light spanking, played the good cop, and then had his mother come over to comfort him for a while, gently telling him not to do it again next time.

A combination of harsh words and gentle words, using both punishment and rewards, will teach them a lesson they won't forget, and then it will pass.

It's rare for a husband and wife to play doubles in the Li Mansion; you can count the number of times they do it on your fingers. The last time was when Li Mo was ten years old, and he stole money from home to buy a pipe, wanting to try what dry tobacco tasted like...

Snap--

"The criminal!"

Comrade Big Dragon slammed the steamed bun down on the table like a gavel, and solemnly said:

"Do you plead guilty and accept your punishment?"

"Dad, why are you interrogating me like a criminal...?"

"Be serious, I'm interrogating you. Don't call me 'father.' If what you did is true, there's a possibility you might be punished for your family's wrongdoing!"

Logically, when their son starts to "steal cabbages," the parents' first reaction should be happiness.

But Little Bing is different.

That was entrusted to the Li family by the Ying Family couple before their deaths. They treated her like their own daughter. It would be a good thing if the two little ones could get together and become even closer, but that would be under the premise that it was legitimate.

"It really is..."

The inmate, Xiao Li, wanted to argue back, but faced with his parents' scrutinizing gazes, he felt guilty and said:

"It's just... dual cultivation, like having a dream together or something..."

"What the hell?"

"Dual cultivation?!"

Li Dalong and Gu Xueqin stared wide-eyed.

Seeing this, Li Mo knew that the couple must have misunderstood, but he couldn't blame them. After all, this kind of thing usually appeared on flower thieves. His father had caught several of them, and they all practiced the 'dual cultivation' martial arts of absorbing yin to replenish yang.

"It's not what you're thinking..."

"I don't care what kind of person you are, guards! Drag him away and give him fifty lashes!"

"Father, Mother, do you understand spiritual communication and the harmony of Will Soul? Oh, you're a bit far from the Divine Observation Realm, so you probably don't quite understand this..."

"???"

"My lady, you're causing such a ruckus in court. How about adding another fifty strokes of the cane?"

The scene was quite chaotic at one point.

But then it fell silent in an instant.

When Li Mo turned around, he saw that Ice Block had crossed the threshold of the hall. Her eyes looked slightly red, and her black hair was not tied up.

The usually aloof and cold Ice Block looked a little tired today, like a beautiful cat that had just woken up.

Li Mo tentatively asked, "How did you sleep last night?"

"Hmm... I was having a sweet dream."

Ying Bing thought for a moment and noticed that Little Li looked a little uneasy, as if he was worried about whether he remembered what happened in his dream.

She slightly furrowed her brows:

"But you lied to me last night, you're a bad person."

"???"

Li Mo's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.

Ice Block really did remember.

And it's not a question of whether I remember or not.

They turned their heads stiffly, and after a moment of surprise, the paternal and maternal love in their eyes vanished quickly.

"Execute him! Drag him away and execute him!"

"Wife, go get the rolling pin, the thickest one!"

"!!!"

Li Mo leaned back tactically, feeling a tingling sensation on his scalp.

The mighty Divine Hammer Little Overlord, Wife-Prospering Fighting Soul, ranked fourth among the Hidden Dragon, possesses perfected external martial arts skills, and is also Diamond Indestructible.

However, as everyone knows, bloodline suppression is not the same as pain perception...

It's terrifying!

"Hey Ice Block, say something!"

That's clearly not how it works!
