How rare . Ice Shards seldom contacted him .

After Li Xianyu decided to break free of Ice Shard's clutches, the relations.h.i.+p between the two siblings deteriorated . After Li Xianyu moved out to live alone, he seldom went home . Also, his sister was constantly travelling . They hardly met, let alone talked over the phone .

There was really nothing to say . Li Xianyu couldn't help but feel guilty and cowardly in front of her . Sometimes, he even trembled . Even after so many years, even with his power now, the trauma of his childhood was still deeply rooted in his heart .

“Your father is dead . He's waiting for you to come to the funeral parlor . ” The voice of Ice Shards was not soft . It was clear and cold, but it sounded very abnormally pleasant .

One could imagine what kind of woman she was just by listening to her voice .

“Pui, what nonsense . ” There was an angry rebuke over the phone .

“I heard mom's voice, Sister, are you back?” Li Xianyu's tone sounded more and more careful .

A moment later, the phone was s.n.a.t.c.hed by his mother . “Li Xianyu, your father had an accident, he's fighting for his life in the hospital now . ”

Li Xianyu's nicknames as a child were endless . Before kindergarten, his adoptive mother called him Yuyu . As he was about to enroll in kindergarten, she thought it was no longer nice . He would be laughed at by his cla.s.smates, so she changed his nickname to Xianxian . This nickname was denied by Li Xianyu by the time he reached primary school . When he was in junior high school, his adoptive mother wanted to call him Xianyu . Ice Shards, who had a normally cold disposition, burst out loud laughing .

Hence, his adoptive parents had to call him by his full name . His adoptive mother blamed his adoptive father for giving their son such a stupid name .

Li Xianyu was shocked and raised his voice unconsciously . “Fighting for his life? What's the matter? What's the matter with my father? Which hospital? I'll come here now . ”

He got up and went outside .

“We're not in Shanghai, we're in Liaoning,” said Mother Li .

“Liaoning?!”

Wasn't my parents abroad…? Oh, it was a long time ago . They just came back from abroad and went to Liaoning again? My father was a small cadre in a state-owned enterprise . How did he have so many days of leave?

Mother Li sighed . “Your eldest grand-uncle pa.s.sed away the other day . Your father and I rushed to Liaoning to attend the funeral . ”

Li Xianyu suddenly remembered that his grandmother's family was in Liaoning, and his mother had three uncles . Because his grandma died when Li Xianyu was very young, and that Liaoning was very far away, they hardly moved during the Spring Festival .

However, for matters pertaining to life and death, the journey had to be made, however far . His adoptive parents each asked for compa.s.sionate leave, and flew to Liaoning to attend the funeral .

“What has that to do with Dad?” Li Xianyu said in a hurry, “Is he alright?”

“He slipped and fell in the funeral parlor last night, when he was watching over the corpse . He hasn't woken up yet . ” The adoptive mother choked as she continued, “The doctor checked again and again, but the injury was not diagnosed . Instead, they found out that he had multiple organ failure . Fortunately, it was slight, otherwise…”

“My dad's healthy . How has he got multiple organ failure?” Li Xianyu grabbed his backpack and strode out . “Mom, you send me the address, I'll come right now . ”

“Well, I'll ask your sister to transfer the transport fare to you . ”

“No need, no need!” As he hung up the phone, he knocked on Great-Grandma's door, but found that she was not in the room . She did not go out to have fun either . He called her to inform her about his adoptive father's situation .

Great-Grandma offered to go with him .

Li Xianyu's subconscious refusal to her offer was because he didn't want people and things pertaining to the demon descendants' world to be too related to his family . Also, he didn't know how to introduce Great-Grandma's existence .

His adoptive father was his biological father's sworn brother from the human society . Great-Grandma had said that she had never seen his adoptive father before, but maybe she forgot . Great-Grandma had lived for many years, so she would not remember every single trivial matter .

In case his adoptive father had seen Great-Grandma before with his father, even a glance… Years later, if he were to see Great-Grandma again…

On the safe side, it was better for him not to bring her long . Multiple organ failure, even mild, was a very difficult and troublesome disease . Once it gets worse, it would be game over .

Li Xianyu left Baoze's headquarters with a solemn expression and took a taxi to the airport . He asked Lightning King to book a ticket to Liaoning for him .

More than half an hour later, he arrived at Hongqiao Airport and sat in the waiting hall . Then, he received a call from Lightning King, asking if he would like to arrange for some senior staff to protect him .

Li Xianyu refused . Lightning King asked him to contact the people from the branch once he arrived in Liaoning . If he had any problems, he could approach them .

“I don't regard insignificant people anymore . Even if I don't have Great-Grandma, I'm not a pushover anymore… Eh, is my ego inflating?” Li Xianyu looked down at his left arm and said, “Is it you affecting my mind?”

Slime retorted, “Bulls.h.i.+t, it's none of my business . Even if there's a mistake, it's the mistake of w.a.n.gchen . ”

Li Xianyu said, “How much do you hate w.a.n.gchen? Don't tell your next host in a changed tone, 'Everything is Xianyu's fault . '”

Arriving at Taoxian International Airport from Hongqiao, he was severely conned by an airport taxi driver before he agreed to take him to the county . By the time he got to the hospital, it was dark .

During the summer of August, the sky was getting dark, and the temperature of Liaoning was very comfortable . People and chickens were not as hot as the Shanghai stock market .

When Li Xianyu paid, he found that Ice Shards had transferred him a sum of money via WeChat . He calculated the road fare, and found that the difference was less than 200 dollars . Stupid Ice Shards, she was such a cheapskate . He didn't even get to benefit a little . She was not as magnanimous and aware as a big sister should be .

He made a phone call to Ice Shards at the door of the hospital . “Sister, I'm here . ”

Ice Shards told him the ward number and said, “Come up by yourself . ”

He followed the sequence of the ward number to his adoptive father's ward . This was a double room; the county was not big, even the best hospital in the city could not cater to the demands for single wards .

His adoptive father lay on the sickbed . In the next sickbed was a middle-aged man who had broken his leg . His wife and son were both beside the bed .

From time to time, the father and son glanced at the cold beauty beside their hospital bed . In this small county town, the number of beauties, at least in this hospital, in their daily life and contact circle, were insignificant . They hardly met a woman more outstanding than this pretty beauty .

If they were to nitpick her flaws, it was probably that she was a little cold . She wore a white T-s.h.i.+rt and a thin coat in beige, which matched with the pair of denim long pants and flaunted her legs and hips . This was coupled with a pair of dark red jogging shoes with a plain-ish face plus a ponytail .

This outfit was casual, and it couldn't compare to some girls who could dress up . Sitting there without laughing or talking, she possessed an indescribable n.o.ble aura .

It seemed that she was the n.o.ble consort in the Forbidden City, and the rest were just the common people living an ordinary life under the rule of the imperial city .

Due to the unreasonable feeling that she was out of their league, the father and son couldn't stare at her so directly .

She had been in the ward for a long time . During this period, when her mother asked her if she wanted to drink water, she shook her head . The only two conversations she had were over the phone . The voice was the same as her temperament . It was cold and crisp, like the collision of ice b.a.l.l.s .

Occasionally, she glanced at the door of the ward from time to time . She was waiting for her brother, who she was on the phone with . If he didn't appear, she would frown slightly .

“Mom, Dad's not awake yet?” Li Xianyu finally appeared .

“Li Xianyu?” When the adoptive mother saw her son, she was stunned . She found that she could not recognize her son who she had raised for 20 years . His appearance was still the same, but his temperament and the vibe he gave off was entirely different .

She hadn't seen him for more than half a year . He was a few centimeters taller and had a stronger physique . As for his temperament, he was quite different .

“Oh, mom, I recently got a gym members.h.i.+p . I've been working out . ” Li Xianyu explained casually and asked, “Dad's not awake yet?”

“No, the doctor said that he was to stay in the hospital for observation to prevent the disease from getting worse . ” His adoptive mother frowned, “If he doesn't wake up by tomorrow, I plan to send him to the provincial capital . ”

“How could this happen? Dad has a full body check-up every year . ” Li Xianyu stared at his adoptive father, who was also a handsome person when he was young . He was also a very popular type of ruffian, especially amongst the females . When he pursued Li Xianyu's mother that year, his smile was also equally charismatic .

Time was a weapon which slaughtered him . His belly was now bigger, his eyes were more puffy, his manhood had become softer, but he remained in good health .

“I didn't know he would become like this when he fell . ” His adoptive mother sighed helplessly .

Li Xianyu felt Ice Shards looking at him . He mustered a smile and said, “Sister!”

Ice Shards gave a neutral, “Hmph . ”

“What are you doing in the northeast?” Li Xianyu complained . “The entire family came to northeast to attend the funeral, yet you guys didn't call me?”

Although I am an adopted son, I am still a part of the family .

Ice Shards didn't care about him . His adoptive mother explained, “It's a coincidence that your sister just came to the northeast for fun . I called her, and she arrived this morning . ”

The state of his adoptive father was good if it didn't get worse . Once it got worse, even if he had been successfully resuscitated, it would leave permanent complications . Fortunately, he had arrived in time . Li Xianyu planned to give his adoptive father an injection late at night, when no one was watching .

“Mom, let me watch over Dad tonight . Do you and Sis have a hotel room nearby?”

“Yeah . ” When his adoptive mother was young, she was also a beauty . She was a small princess who was different compared to Ice Shards, who liked to travel in isolation and had to tie a ponytail for convenience . His mom liked to tie her hair up all year . In recent years, as she aged, she could not tie a young-looking ponytail anymore . She tied the knot at the end of the ponytail and hung it on her left shoulder .

“Mom, I said that your hairstyle is very dangerous . Don't put yourself in danger . ” Li Xianyu lifted his mother's hair and put it behind her body .

As he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly burned, stimulating the lacrimal gland to secrete tears .

“What's the matter with you?” his adoptive mother asked with concern in her tone .

“Tissue!” Li Xianyu held his eyes .

His adoptive mother retrieved a piece of tissue at the head of the bed and handed it to him . Li Xianyu wiped away his tears and looked left and right with a solemn expression . There must have been some aggrieved spirit in the ward, which stimulated his spiritual eyes .

It had long been said that the hospital was a “dirty” place that was not categorised with the cemetery . It was also known as one of the three origins of paranormal activity, along with the girls' dormitories and cemeteries .

It was true indeed .

He scanned the ward, but didn't see any aggrieved spirits . Then, he was shocked to find out that gushes of black air was spewing out of his foster father's face .
