Translator: Vesper

Qiao Tian Chang took Ning Meng Yao to Sang Ta Lin’s place. When the two arrived, Sang Ta Lin was already waiting for them. Upon seeing them, Sang Ta Lin’s body became a little stiff, as if he feared Qiao Tian Chang.

“What did you do to him? He seems afraid.” Ning Meng Yao asked with some doubt as she watched Sang Ta Lin’s figure leave quickly.

“I did not do anything.” Qiao Tian Chang said seriously, which made Ning Meng Yao think she might have seen wrongly.

Ning Meng Yao looked at Qiao Tian Chang suspiciously, but she could not make out anything from him, so she turned away.

Actually what Ning Meng Yao did not know was that last time Qiao Tian Chang came over, Sang Ta Lin did something he should not have, so he had taught him a lesson.

After a day’s rest at Sang Ta Lin’s place, and preparing their ration, Qiao Tian Chang led Ning Meng Yao into the secret passage that they had used last time.

In the secret passage, Ning Meng Yao looked at Qiao Tian Chang and asked: “Let’s go see Mother first?”

“Okay.”

They followed the same road that they had used to exit last time, after reaching the forbidden ground, Qiao Tian Chang remembered one thing: “Oh yeah, the fox is still here. Let’s bring it out together with us later.”

“Sure.”

As soon as the two went in, the little fox came to Qiao Tian Chang’s shoulder, rubbing its head gently against his cheek, and at the same time, it squeaked nonstop, seeming to accuse Qiao Tian Chang of leaving it alone last time.

Ning Meng Yao looked at the cute little fox, she could not help but laugh.

Ning Meng Yao stretched out her hand and touched the little fox’s head, her eyes shone brightly: “It’s really cute.”

“Yes, let’s go. This little fella is a professional when it comes to crossing the dark river.” If it was not for the little fox, he would have missed it last time.

Ning Meng Yao nodded, then they walked carefully towards the dark river from the forbidden ground.

With the little fox leading the way, they took the quickest way to cross the dark river.

On the way to the stone chamber, Ning Meng Yao’s palm was sweaty, she was very nervous.

Qiao Tian Chang reached her hands and smiled gently: “Don’t worry.”

“Okay.”

When the two arrived at the stone chamber, they could not hear any sound inside. As Ning Meng Yao was about to pull the gear, Qiao Tian Chang quickly grabbed hold of her hand.

“Don’t rush.”

“But......”

“I’ve been here a few times. At this time, Bai Mo should be returning to the stone chamber.” It took Qiao Tian Chang a lot of time to figure out this pattern.

Sure enough, they did not wait long before they heard sounds coming from the other side of the wall.

Bai Mo’s voice could be heard immediately after the sound. He was telling Xiao Cheng Ya about their departure. After whispering for almost half an hour, then there was no sound anymore.

Ning Meng Yao looked up at Qiao Tian Chang after it was completely silent.

They waited for a while. Then, Qiao Tian Chang opened the door and walked in with Ning Meng Yao.

The last time they saw the woman, they felt that she was very beautiful, but seeing her now, Ning Meng Yao felt an indescribable feeling, as if something was disturbing her.

“Mother, I’m Yao’er. I’m here to see you.” Ning Meng Yao’s voice was as gentle as possible, she reached out to stroke Xiao Cheng Ya’s cheek. So this was how her mother felt, she was really warm.

Ning Meng Yao whispered something to Xiao Cheng Ya, while the woman remained on the bed. She wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids seemed to weigh a ton, and there was no way to open them.

Qiao Tian Chang noticed that time was almost up, so he said: “Yao Yao, we should go. We will see mother-in-law next time.”

“But...” Ning Meng Yao glanced at Xiao Cheng Ya on her bed reluctantly.

“Don’t worry, it won’t be long.” Qiao Tian Chang naturally saw the reluctance in Ning Meng Yao’s eyes, but they did not have much time left.

Ning Meng Yao naturally understood this fact, so she eventually left her mother behind, and followed Qiao Tian Chang.

Not long after they left, Xiao Cheng Ya finally opened her eyes and tears filled her eyes.
