Chapter 255 - 253. His Call I (1/2)

Third-person POV

The boy couldn't believe what he heard just now. He leaned his body forward and stared at Meiyun with wide eyes. Meiyun tilted her head to the side in confusion when the boy had a very dumbstruck expression on his face.

”Eh?” The boy couldn't find the right word to say.

Meiyun sighed and smiled brightly at him as she roughly ruffled the boy's head, ”I said that I will stay with you.”

”Wa-wait wait wait, I know that but why? Do you know that I am an evil spirit? Or are you a pure craze?” The boy asked in disbelief.

Meiyun who couldn't hold back her laughter, laughed her head off. Because of a habit, she repeatedly smacked the boy's shoulder as she laughed.

”You- ahahaha~ I have met someone who is scarier and has a more powerful dark power than you…Why do I have to be afraid of you?! And I almost died a few times, I also had seen Heibai Wuchang a couple times, I have nothing to fear about.” Meiyun almost broke her ribs from laughing too hard.

The boy was still in daze as he wasn't convinced by Meiyun's reasoning. He sat with his back straight and rested his chin on his fist, he pondered for a while to decide whenever he should trust Meiyun. In his whole life, he learned that he shouldn't have any faith in humanity.

Fully knew that the boy didn't believe any word that came out from her lips, Meiyun chuckled because she knew exactly what the boy was thinking.

”Because you are my son,” Meiyun uttered with a voice filled of love.

The boy glanced at Meiyun and convinced himself to not put his trust on Meiyun. He clearly stated himself as an evil spirit which most of the human despised of because they believed that getting a blessing from an evil spirit was very ominous thing. He turned away and glanced around the grassland.

Meiyun snorted at the boy's seemingly childish behavior, she took his other hand and placed one of her hands on top of his hand and the other below his palm. The faint warmth on Meiyun's palm slowly transferred to his hand, warming up his cold hand. The boy turned his eyes to look at what Meiyun was doing with his hand then he heard Meiyun started to speak again.

”No matter what you are, you will always be my son.” Meiyun patted his hand.

The eyes of the boy went wide, the sincerity in Meiyun's eyes when she said those words could be seen as clear as the water flowing in the river.

”So what if you are an evil spirit. You saved my life while sacrificing your one and only chance to be reincarnated to the human world. I know, if I die, you would die as well. But if you just let me die without helping me, you won't lose any Qi that you cultivated for hundreds of years. Yet you chose the latter and lost everything that you had been working hard for.” Meiyun continued.

”W-well, I do what I want to. Why do you have to f*ckin care?” The boy mumbled under his breath as his ears slowly turned red from getting exposed by Meiyun.

Meiyun noticed the redness on his ears and her heart clenched at his cute dishonest self.

”Do you have any problem with me wanting to stay with my son? Hm?” Meiyun jokingly glared at the boy.

”n-no,” the boy muttered inaudibly.

”Then I will stay here. Just as you said, I do what I want.” Meiyun pulled his hand and made him lay down on her lap.

At first, the boy was going to struggle out of Meiyun's hold but after feeling the warmth slowly seeping into his cold body, he gave up and surrendered himself to the stubborn Meiyun. Meiyun lightly combed his silky long hair with her hand as she noticed his hair was tangled in a few areas.

”Do you have a name?” Meiyun asked.

”No, I don't have.” The boy replied almost immediately.

”Then, can I give you a name?” Meiyun suggested.

The boy turned his head to look at Meiyun with an expressionless face. But if one look closely, one could see the excitement that was hidden deep in his eyes.

”Look at you. Acting tough.” Meiyun pinched his soft cheek and teased him.

”Aiya! It hurts! I am not acting tough, it is just your imagination!” the boy fl.u.s.tered and slapped Meiyun's hand away.

”Yang Guang, Di Yang Guang. From now on, your name is Di Yang Guang.” Meiyun said while staring lovingly at the boy.
