Chapter 2068. Happiness and Responsibility (1/2)
In the northeastern part of the Lofty Mountain Continent, there was a mountain range. Not far from the official road, there was a paradise-like village.
There weren’t many people in the village, only a few hundred. Most of them were hunters, and they relied on the dense forest filled with beasts for a living. This was originally not a village — it used to just be a desolate land where hunters rested.
It was unknown how long ago, but the family of an official had come here, escaping from the city, and settled down here. As time slowly passed, the village formed like this.
At the western end of the village, there was a house surrounded by fences. There was a teenage girl wearing patched linen clothes feeding the poultry.
Smoke was coming from the chimney. It was early morning and it was clear that breakfast was being prepared inside the house.
As the girl fed the poultry, she laughed and spoke toward the house. “Mom, I had another dream light night. I dreamt that I became a celestial again.”
“You child, you’re so big already and still fantasize about becoming a celestial. When I was as old as you, I was already married to your father.” A gentle voice came from the house.
“Is that because my father is the most powerful hunter in the village? I heard that a lot of people wanted to date father at the time.” The girl smiled. She was very cute. Her appearance was not particularly beautiful, but she gave off a pure and lovely temperament.
“Who did you hear this from?” A woman walked out. She was wearing simple clothes, but this could not hide her beauty. Her eyes widened as she pretended to be angry and held a pot of vegetables.
The girl was going to speak when a hearty laughter came from the gate.
“It was me who said it.” The gate was pushed open and a powerful middle-aged man walked in. He was carrying a bow and arrows, along with a small beast. However, there was dried blood on his leg. It was unknown if it belonged to the small beast or him.
“Father!” The girl was surprised and immediately threw dustpan and ran up.
“Wow, its a leopard. Its skin is so beautiful. This is great.” The girl’s eyes seemed to light up and she leaped happily.
“How come you were gone for so long this time? Normally, you return after two or three days.” The woman quickly walked up and helped the middle-aged man put down the beast and bow and arrows.
“The little girl said that she wanted some good leather. On the way, I encountered this leopard, and it delayed me a bit,” the man said as he rubbed the girl’s head.
“What happened to your leg?” The woman immediately saw the blood on the man’s leg. She quickly knelt down to take a look and saw a shallow scratch.
“No problem. With Little White around, the beasts in the mountain can’t hurt me.” The man laughed as a shadow sprang through the gate and pounced on the girl. It licked the girl nonstop. It was a big black dog.
However, it looked more like a tiger, which made for a shocking sight.
“Little White was learning how to roar like a tiger in the mountains again. I’m really confused — is he a tiger or a dog…” The man looked at the dog and smiled bitterly.
“Little White is good, so obedient.” The girl pushed the big black dog aside and stroked the dog’s hair.
The dog seemed to enjoy it a lot. It lied on its back, exposing its belly. The girl laughed and began rubbing the dog’s belly. The dog looked very comfortable and let out growls like a real tiger.
The entire family was laughing and couldn’t detect the figure in white floating in the sky. Wang Lin looked down at the happy family, and when he saw the girl’s smiling face, he also smiled.
“Little White… I almost forgot that he was brought here and also reincarnated. I just didn’t expect… for him to reincarnate into a big dog… And from the looks of it, he has gained intelligence and has pretty good cultivation.” Wang Lin smiled as the big dog laid on the ground enjoying himself. However, when he looked up at the sky, he actually saw Wang Lin’s figure and was startled.
His expression was instantly filled with fear. The big dog blinked and even stopped making the growling sound.
Wang Lin looked at the dog, and when he saw the fear in the dog’s eyes, his smile widened. “Oh? You recognize me?”
However, the family didn’t notice the strangeness in the dog’s behavior. The young girl was looked at her father and affectionately said,
“Father, I dreamed about being a celestial again last night.”
“Good, being a celestial is good. My little girl will definitely become a celestial.” The man laughed.
“I don’t want to become a celestial. I feel like I spent a lifetime as a celestial, but I was not happy at all. Right now is much better. It was just a dream, I don’t want to become a celestial.
“I’ll be with Father and Mother for the rest of my life.” The girl’s words were very serious.
