My mother looked at me and said, "Can't Mom know her son's little secret?"
For a moment, I didn't know how to respond. My parents had always known this secret of mine, but why hadn't they told me?
My mother continued, "Saning, it's not that I didn't want to tell you. I just wanted you to live a normal life. I never expected you would meet him."
I naturally knew who she was referring to; it must be Lin Li. Lin Li had a pair of white eyes, and if I hadn't encountered him, I might have never known that I possessed such eyes myself.
Yes, perhaps I would have lived an ordinary life.
I could understand my mother's good intentions; who would want their child to suffer like this? Ever since I gained these white eyes, I had endured quite a bit of hardship, but during this time, I had also gained some things.
Suddenly, it dawned on me why my mother had forbidden me from speaking to the Temple Guardian back then. It was because the Temple Guardian knew too much, and she was worried he might reveal something to me.
Looking back now, everything seemed to fall into place...
However, the fact that my eyes could grow back was also thanks to Lin Li.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance at Ke'er. Did my parents also know about her existence? My father had asked so pointedly.
They must have known.
At that moment, Ke'er clearly understood as well. She was a wise woman; since my parents could intercept the Evil Being's words, they surely knew of her presence. The Luminous Eyes and Infatuation Chapter had already been uploaded.
Ke'er didn't hesitate for long. She quickly stepped forward respectfully and addressed my mother, saying, "Mother."
If Mom had known about Ke'er’s existence earlier, she would have accepted her long ago.
Mom smiled and took Ke'er’s hand, saying, “Good daughter-in-law, today I finally get to meet you. You don’t need to call me mother; just call me Mom like Saning does.”
Mom is protective of her own, and now that Ke'er is my wife, she naturally will look out for her too.
The two women quickly struck up a conversation, while I couldn’t help but go check on Dad in the bedroom. I knocked on the door, but Dad didn’t open it.
“Dad, are you okay?” I called out.
After a moment, a voice came from inside, “I’m fine. Go chat with your mom for a bit; I’ll rest for a while.”
“Dad, are you really okay?”
But Dad fell silent again. I called out a few more times, but he simply ignored me. Mom called out to me, “Saning, don’t mind him; he just has that bad temper.”
“Come on, let’s chat together,” Mom urged me over.
I nodded and walked over.
At that moment, Chen San invited Xiaoru to go for a walk. The sky was beginning to brighten. Wang Wei said he was going back to his room to catch some sleep, and Jianjian called out to me before heading back as well.
Thus, only the three of us remained in the living room. Ke'er still seemed a bit shy in front of Mom.
Mom said, “Ke'er, your marriage was arranged by your grandmother. Although I don’t know why she chose you to be Saning’s wife, I do know that she would never do anything to harm Saning.”
"Mom, I'll take good care of Husband," Ke'er said softly.
"That's not what I mean. If Saning dares to bully you, just tell me, and I'll take care of him for you. What kind of era is this? If he still expects his wife to take care of and protect him, then he's really useless."
Wow! Hearing this, I thought, is she really my mother? How can a mother be so good to her daughter-in-law? Aren't there always dramas about conflicts between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law on TV?
"Saning, did you hear what your mother said?"
I replied, "Don't worry, Mom. I'll take care of Ke'er."
Ke'er looked at me, and I looked back at her. Our eyes met, and my mom suddenly laughed as she watched us. Then she said, "You two should go back to sleep."
After my mom left the room, Ke'er called out to Husband, and I called out to Ke'er. I thought I could experience Rebirth Ke'er this time, but in the end, it turned out to be just a fleeting dream.
However, unexpectedly, I found that I had gained a new pair of eyes.
After returning to the room with Ke'er, I quickly washed up. Ke'er asked me if my eyes still hurt.
I said they didn't.
Lying on the bed with Ke'er, she wrapped her arms around my waist and asked, "Husband, do you like Ke'er?" I replied that of course I liked her!
But then Ke'er suddenly became a bit sad and said, "But Ke'er can't have children for Husband."
As I paused for a few seconds, I finally said, "Having a child is quite troublesome; we're doing well as we are."
Ke'er disagreed, saying that my mother would mind.
I replied that it wouldn't matter; our lives are for us to live, not for them. As long as we take care of ourselves, that's what counts. After a moment's pause, I added, "Ke'er, just being by my side is enough."
Upon hearing my sweet words, Ke'er finally smiled a little. Suddenly, I remembered how Zhang the Fat used to call me a single dog, claiming I couldn't find a partner.
During that time, it was true that I couldn't find anyone. I always thought it was because I was tongue-tied. But then I skipped the girlfriend stage entirely and ended up with a stunning wife. So now, my sweet talk came quite naturally.
Out of the blue, Ke'er kissed me. I was taken aback for a moment and didn't know how to respond. But then Ke'er smiled dreamily, and it snapped me back to reality—I leaned in and kissed her back.
After a passionate exchange between us, dawn was approaching.
Actually, I had noticed that Ke'er had three Souls; I just hadn't found the right moment to ask her about it yet.
Once morning came, Ke'er temporarily hid away. I stepped outside from the house without hiding my striking white eyes. When Jianjian and Wang Wei saw me, they were visibly taken aback.
Since my eyes were no longer dark voids, I knew I had to return to the city; staying at home for life wasn't an option.
These eyes of mine were too attention-grabbing.
This white gaze would probably need to be covered with blood.
With that thought, I sighed.
Chen San and Xiaoru returned as well.
After entering the house, Xiaoru said to me, "Saning, when do you plan to save Chen San?"
I was taken aback by Xiaoru's directness. She seemed delicate, but I guessed she had a strong personality.
I paused for a moment. Chen San and I were in an equivalent exchange, and since he hadn't brought Ke'er back to life, I had no reason to save him.
I didn't respond to Xiaoru.
Chen San understood my silence and called out to Xiaoru.
Xiaoru replied bluntly, "Shut up."
Once those words were spoken, Chen San indeed fell silent. I was stunned; Chen San looked like a rather sinister person, yet he seemed afraid of this girl. I thought to myself that at least Ke'er didn't have such a personality.
Xiaoru turned directly to Chen San and said, "Do you still want to live? Do you want to be bound for a lifetime?"
She then looked at me and said, "Saning, asking you to save Chen San before might have been a fool's dream, but now it's different. Chen San can only rely on you to save him."
I gazed at this woman; she had delicate features and her facial structure was well-balanced. Her lips appeared thin, but her words could be quite cutting.
I shifted my gaze away.
I asked, "What should I do to save Chen San?"
Just as Xiaoru was about to say something, Chen San interrupted her. "Saning, we have no ties. I didn't help you with your matters, so you don't need to help me."
Xiaoru wanted to say more, but Chen San pulled her toward the door. I wondered what was wrong with Chen San. He seemed fine, even though he was in a Soul Detached state; I couldn't sense any hint of death from him.
I was also curious about what agreement Chen San had reached with the Dead Monk that allowed us to leave unharmed and even receive the Relic.
After Chen San took Xiaoru outside, Wang Wei turned to me and asked, "Saning, are you really planning to save Chen San?" Wang Wei had always been skeptical of Chen San, doubting his character.
Yet, he also believed in Chen San to some extent. After all, Chen San had just told me that we had no emotional connection—only a transaction.
Chen San was clear about this, and I needed to be clear as well. I felt that what he said wasn't wrong.
As for Ke'er, I would find a way to bring her back to life.
Lost in thought for a moment, I snapped back to reality and noticed Wang Wei looking at me.
Suddenly, I asked him, "Lin Li, how did she die?"
