Chapter 70: Chapter 26: The Crimson Evil Ghost
"That Er Tu guy... is causing
trouble again."
Quietly closing the third eye in the middle of his forehead, Li Boyang murmured indistinctly.
By now, Li Boyang had already returned ho and was lying comfortably on his small bed to recuperate.
After all, even though the altar bore most of the backlash for him,
the remaining small part of the Earth Vein’s power was still enough to keep Li Boyang bedridden for a while.
This is the biggest difference between Divine Power and Spells.
Divine Power is one’s own talent, sothing akin to instinct.
Whether innate or acquired, once Divine Power manifests, how far it can go depends on how well you develop it.
Spells, on the other hand, rely on external forces to achieve a specific goal.
Whether it’s the Gods or the Earth Vein, by nature, they are external powers that don’t belong to you.
The worst consequence of overusing Divine Power is rely exhaustion.
In contrast, Spells not only require following various taboos in their use but their backlash can also be extrely severe.
Fortunately, Li Boyang’s physical condition had already surpassed that of ordinary people.
The Evil Qi from the Earth Vein, being a branch of Earth Vein’s power, didn’t completely sever his ridians.
Even so, Li Boyang had to use the Fur Robe early on to make it look like he returned ho without any injuries on the surface.
Otherwise, just thinking about Chen Yun’s incessant nagging gave Li Boyang a headache.
Although the current situation wasn’t much better, at least she wouldn’t be mumbling in front of Li Boyang’s face.
...........................
"So, what do you think he was up to last night?"
Staring suspiciously at Li Boyang’s room for a long ti, Chen Yun finally couldn’t help but ask her husband.
Li Boyang always got up early and never had the habits of oversleeping or staying in bed.
At this ti on any usual day, he would either be climbing walls and trees with Li Jingshu in the village or already on his way to study with the Mountain God.
"Haven’t you always been complaining that he’s not like a normal child and that you have no sense of achievent as a mother?"
"Now that your son finally decided to sleep in, why are you unhappy about it?"
Li Yu, who was having breakfast, took a mont to look up, his eyes filled with teasing and fondness.
After so many years of marriage, Li Yu sotis understood Chen Yun’s mindset even better than she did herself, as a wife and mother.
"How can it be the sa!?"
Plopping down opposite Li Yu, Chen Yun retorted indignantly.
"That child has been independent since childhood. He strongly insisted on sleeping alone when he was just one year old and rarely played with children his age as he grew up."
"You aren’t worried about his unusual behavior now?"
Quickly shoveling a couple of spoonfuls of rice into his mouth, Li Yu suddenly lowered his voice intentionally and said.
"Of course I’m worried..."
"But I know that child has much more ability than we imagine."
Before Chen Yun could speak again, Li Yu proactively confessed.
"He was injured when he ca back last night..."
Before he could finish, Chen Yun almost jumped up in shock.
Fortunately, Li Yu anticipated this and imdiately pressed down on her shoulder.
"The child doesn’t want us to worry. Can’t you see even that much?"
Eyes wide open, Chen Yun glared viciously at her husband, but her voice involuntarily softened.
"When did you find out? Why didn’t you tell ?"
Guiltily turning his head away to avoid Chen Yun’s gaze, Li Yu replied softly.
"When the storm dissipated last night and he returned ho, I caught a faint sll of blood from him."
"Though the scent was faint, it couldn’t escape my nose as a hunter."
"It wasn’t the blood of a wild beast; it was our son’s blood. He was injured..."
Seeing Chen Yun about to explode again, Li Yu hurriedly explained once more.
"Since I didn’t notice any wounds on him and considering the child doesn’t want us to worry, I pretended not to know."
"But recuperation is unavoidable even if our child is extraordinary."
"Once our son is rested, you can cook so ginseng soup and rice porridge to nourish him, and he’ll recover soon."
Giving Li Yu a skeptical glance, Chen Yun eventually turned and headed toward the kitchen.
"If I find out that you and our son tead up to deceive , you won’t need to co ho for dinner anymore!"
Listening to Chen Yun’s muttering curses, Li Yu smiled helplessly.
As the only hunter in Li Family Village, Li Yu had not only accumulated substantial wealth over the past three years but also expanded their modest house into a courtyard, where even the once-precious rice was now abundant.
More importantly, various mountain goods and dicinal herbs had also beco daily necessities for Li Yu’s family and even Li Family Village itself.
The mountain goods were results of Li Yu’s hunting trips to the forest, adding so at to the village’s daily diet.
The dicinal herbs were thanks to Li Boyang and Li Jingshu, which significantly reduced deaths from disease and injury in the village.
"Yun’er, our child surpasses our expectations more than we could ever imagine."
Gazing deeply at Li Boyang’s small room, Li Yu seed to recall the ti a year ago when he went hunting in the mountains.
That ti, Li Yu, rarely for him, slipped up.
Perhaps it was out of sheer resentnt, or perhaps it was because Xiluo’s presence gradually faded...
Several Earth Ants silently surrounded Li Yu without him noticing.
By the ti he realized sothing was wrong, one Earth Ant had already fiercely charged at him.
Though Li Yu managed to avoid its first surprise attack with his agile skills, the continuous appearance of more Earth Ants put him in a desperate situation.
However, at this critical mont, several red Sleep Bugs suddenly erged from nowhere, successfully putting so of the Earth Ants to sleep.
Seeing this, Li Yu realized these Sleep Bugs were there to protect him.
Unfortunately, before he could even recover from the surprise, a giant, almost spiritual Earth Ant appeared out of nowhere behind him.
The suddenness of its appearance was too much, and neither Li Yu nor the Sleep Bugs reacted in ti, ultimately resulting in severe injuries.
In the last mont before he lost consciousness, Li Yu saw the forest engulfed in flas—a figure of a "Red Evil Ghost" erging from the fire.
From that day on, Li Yu never saw another Earth Ant near Li Family Village.
Li Yu knew the reason behind it and whom he had to thank.
"At tis, when the child is too exceptional, it can make us feel a lack of accomplishnt as parents..."
With a subtle sigh, Li Yu could only hope that the "Red Evil Ghost" appeared less frequently in the future.
At the very least, it should never allow Chen Yun to witness the wrath of that "Red Evil Ghost."
