Rebirth of the Useless Bastard Son

“The sect master came to see you today. He didn’t give you a hard time, did he?” Cheng Yu asked Li Tianyan casually after taking a sip of wine.

“Not at all. He just told me a few things about the other side of the passage and gave me a badge,” Li Tianyan replied without a hint of pride.

“What kind of badge?” Cheng Qi asked, intrigued.

“It’s the belt left by the Lord of Hengyue City. This overlord has some connection to the Haoyue Immortal Sect and wants us to join the lord after we get there,” Li Tianyan explained to Cheng Qi.

“I suppose you won’t be joining,” Cheng Yu said, shaking his wine bottle.

“Probably not,” Li Tianyan shrugged.

He understood that joining such a force would be different from being a disciple of the Immortal Sect; it would surely come with many restrictions, and he naturally didn’t want to make himself unhappy.

“Is Xiao Qi going to be okay?” Cheng Yu asked, glancing at Cheng Qi, who was drinking heavily.

Although he knew Cheng Qi was very talented and would have no problem forming the core, he couldn’t help but worry that Li Tianyan might leave alone if Cheng Qi couldn’t keep up.

“Hiccup, no problem.” Cheng Qi patted his chest confidently.

Tan Eyu had digested the souls of many evil ghosts over the years, and now the last remaining soul was about to be completely integrated. Once completed, Tan Eyu would become a ghost with the aura of a core formation.

Combined with the method of feeding back in the sixth level of the Ghost Control Order, he could use Tan Eyu’s cultivation to break through the barriers and form the core in one fell swoop. But before that, Li Tianyan had asked him to accumulate more, so Cheng Qi had spent all his energy on condensing his spiritual energy.

“That’s good,” Cheng Yu said after speaking, raising the bottle to take a sip.

“Brother, what are your plans for the future?” Cheng Qi thought of Cheng Yu’s qualifications. If he worked hard, he should have had a chance to leave Hengwu Continent.

“I don’t have any plans. I just do what I want to do and spend time with my parents,” Cheng Yu said with a smile.

“Brother, don’t you plan to go there and have a look?” Cheng Qi thought of his parents and was feeling a little depressed. If he left, he wouldn’t be able to accompany them.

“It’s easier said than done. Although my advancement was quite fast, it wasn’t something I could do if I wanted to form a core before I was fifty.” Cheng Yu still had some self-awareness. If it were that simple, Hengwu Continent wouldn’t have had no one in a hundred years, and Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi were definitely outliers.

“No matter what, just try your best,” Li Tianyan said to him.

“Yes, I know,” Cheng Yu nodded, but he still remembered his father and mother. Cheng Qi would leave, and his father and mother had severed their ties with the Cheng family. If he also left…

Li Tianyan saw through his thoughts at a glance and said in a deep voice, “Uncle hopes that you won’t be bound by ordinary things, so he insisted on severing ties with the Cheng family. Don’t put the cart before the horse.”

Cheng Yu held the wine bottle in his hand for a moment, thought for a long time, and then said with relief, “I guess I was wrong.”

“Don’t have distracting thoughts before you follow the right path,” Li Tianyan said with a solemn face. As for the Cheng couple, he had already made plans in his mind.

“Yes, Cheng Yu understands.” Cheng Yu cupped his hands and said to Li Tianyan.

“Cheng Qi also understands.”

Cheng Qi’s unclear voice suddenly broke in, and then a delicate body fell into Li Tianyan’s arms. When the two of them lowered their heads, they saw that Cheng Qi was extremely drunk.

Li Tianyan weighed the wine bottle in his hand again, and it turned out to be empty. He suddenly became angry and pinched the red cheeks of the person in his arms. “I said you could drink it but you poured it all. Two bottles of wine are enough to make you feel stuffy.”

Cheng Yu couldn’t help but snicker secretly. He hadn’t expected Xiao Qi to be an alcoholic. “You should send Xiao Qi back first.”

“Yes.” Li Tianyan nodded, picked up Cheng Qi, and disappeared from the locust tree.

Cheng Yu sat alone on a branch, drinking by himself, but his heart was not as confused as before.

Li Tianyan, who had returned to the house, placed Cheng Qi, who was drunk and unconscious, on the bed, and then took off his clothes and got into bed.

But as soon as Li Tianyan laid down, the person next to him came over and murmured incomprehensibly, “Young master, I want you to hold me.”

Having witnessed Cheng Qi’s drunken commotion, Li Tianyan calmly allowed his actions, then reached out to hold the squirming person tightly in his arms. “Here.”

“I want the young master to hold me,” Cheng Qi repeated persistently.

“I’m hugging you,” Li Tianyan said humorously. “Why did you change from kissing to hugging this time?”

As if he recognized the person beside him who was thinking about him, Cheng Qi suddenly smiled and rubbed his face with a hand, as if to comfort him. “Be good, Xiao Yanyan.”

Li Tianyan: “…”

“Xiao Qi will accompany you,” Cheng Qi said, then wrapped Li Tianyan so tightly that it was almost suffocating.

At this time, Li Tianyan was thankful that the little shuanger had not transformed into an octopus or tree demon.

“Young master, it’s so nice,” Cheng Qi rubbed his body against Li Tianyan’s chest and muttered unconsciously.

Li Tianyan looked a little helpless, as if the number of strange names had increased.

That night, Li Tianyan had a drunkard pestering him for half the night. Cheng Qi kept making noises and wanted a hug. Li Tianyan responded to him tirelessly. It was not until the middle of the night that Cheng Qi finally couldn’t resist the sleepiness and fell asleep. The room finally calmed down completely.

Seeing Cheng Qi laying on his body, already asleep soundly, Li Tianyan did not put him down but pulled up the quilt to cover the two of them and closed his eyes to rest.

All the lights in the entire courtyard were extinguished and completely blended into the night. There was no one on the locust trees in the courtyard. It was completely silent, except for the occasional breeze that brought out the sound of rustling leaves, but it was like a hypnotic sound, making people sleep more peacefully.
