Start a mysterious island

Chapter 545: Not a happy event (two chapters in one)

At night, there were many vehicles on the road illuminated by neon lights, and an electric car drove orderly along the street.

After Xia Qing came out of the hospital, she immediately rode her electric bike home.

When she was about to return to Ping'an Garden Community, she stopped at a cake shop on the roadside and bought some cakes.

After a while.

At the gate of Ping'an Garden Community, a slim figure wearing a light blue dress drove an electric car into the community.

Under the dim light, Xia Qing glanced sideways as she drove her electric car past a green belt in the community.

In the past, there would be two petite figures chasing each other in the green belt, but they were not seen today, which made Xia Qing a little surprised.

"Strange, why are those two little guys not here today?"

After Xia Qing parked the electric car in the carport, she looked at the place where the little white cat and the little black cat used to play, and murmured something. Then she carried a bag of cakes that she had just bought and walked not far away. Walk down the corridor.

…………

"Ding."

The elevator door opened, and Xia Qing, who was slim and elegant, walked out of the elevator. She took out the key from her bag and opened the door to her home.

The room was dark and there was no sound. After turning on the light, I called my daughter's name several times, but there was no response.

Previously, I asked my neighbor next door to help pick up my daughter from school. Now that my daughter is not at home, there is only one possibility.

…

"Ding dong."

The doorbell rang, and after a while, the door in front of him opened.

"Xia Qing, you're back!" After Lin Li opened the door, he saw his neighbor next door and said hello with a smile.

"Yes." Xia Qing nodded with a smile. Just when she was about to say thank you to Lin Li, there was a rush of footsteps behind Lin Li.

Zhou Tongtong, who was holding a cup of ice cream in her hand, heard a familiar voice coming from the entrance. She immediately got off the sofa and ran all the way to the door.

"Mother."

"Tongtong, were you naughty at brother Linli's house?"

"No." Zhou Tongtong, a well-behaved and sensible person, quickly replied.

"Zhou Tongtong is very well-behaved." Lin Li said to Xia Qing with a smile, and then greeted Xia Qing to come in.

Lin Li took a pair of indoor slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them on the ground. Xia Qing put on the indoor slippers and handed the cake she bought to Lin Li, "On the way back, I passed by the cake shop and bought some cakes. You can try it... …”

Lin Li knew that Xia Qing bought the cake for him to thank him for helping her, so he was not polite, took the cake and thanked him.

"Mom, the ice cream brother Lin Li gave me is delicious. Come and have a taste." Zhou Tongtong said to Xia Qing like a treasure, and then took a spoonful of ice cream from the cup.

Xia Qing lowered her head and ate the scoop of ice cream her daughter scooped up. Then she reached out and touched her daughter's head and said with a smile, "This chocolate ice cream is really delicious."

"Giggle..." Zhou Tongtong laughed like a silver bell, and then followed Lin Li and Xia Qing towards the living room.

The TV in the living room was playing cartoons. Before Xia Qing came back, Lin Lizhi was watching cartoons with Zhou Tongtong and the two little wild cats.

The three of them sat down on the sofa. Lin Li poured a glass of water for Xia Qing, and then asked, "Did the matter go smoothly?"

"It's taken care of." Xia Qing picked up the water glass and took a sip of water. After moistening her throat, she put down the water glass, raised her right hand, and pushed the hanging hair behind her ears.

After Lin Li heard Xia Qing say that the matter had been settled, he did not continue to ask further questions on this matter. After all, we were just neighbors. If some things were asked in too detail, it would be easy to get annoying.

"Lin Li, please help me pick up Tongtong from school today. It's really troublesome for you."

"It's okay, I just happen to be free at home and have nothing to do...and it's not far from Rongxi Primary School, so it's a quick trip back and forth."

The two adults were chatting, while Zhou Tongtong sat obediently next to her mother, eating the ice cream in her hand and watching the cartoon being played on the TV.

"Meow..." A kitten meowed from the direction of the balcony. After a while, the little white cat and the little black cat walked indoors from the balcony and came to the living room.

Xia Qing, who was chatting with Lin Li, heard the cat meowing and turned her head to look. There was a look of surprise on her face, and then she said to Lin Li.

"When I came back just now, I was wondering why these two little guys weren't playing around on the grass. They were at your house."

"Because of some things, these two little guys came to my house to stay for a while." Lin Li replied with a smile.

Back in the living room, the little white cat and the little black cat sat obediently, while the other lay listlessly on the ground.

The little white cat is full of energy, while the little black cat is a little sluggish. The reason why there is such a big difference between the two little guys is because the little black cat used his powers uncontrollably and almost exhausted his spiritual energy.

"Meow... I made you so proud just now." The little white cat turned his head and looked at the little black cat lying listlessly on the ground next to him, jokingly saying.

"Meow... I'm so tired!" The little black cat now doesn't even have the energy to talk to his little friend, and his words are weak.

The abnormal state of the little black cat was very conspicuous. Xia Qing immediately noticed that something was wrong with it, so she said with some concern, "This little black cat doesn't look right. Is it sick?"

Lin Li was about to speak when he heard this. At this moment, Zhou Tongtong, who was sitting next to Xia Qing, took the first step to explain, "Mom, Xiao Hei is not sick."

"Since he's not sick, why is he so listless? He's usually very energetic."

"Brother Lin Li said that the reason why Xiao Hei became like this is because it used its supernatural powers uncontrollably and almost consumed all its spiritual energy... Let it rest for a while, and then it will slowly recover."

"Eh?!!!" Xia Qing, who had long hair and an elegant temperament, was stunned for a moment after hearing what her daughter said. Then she looked at Lin Li, who was sitting on the single sofa.

"I have something happy to tell you. I hope you won't be too excited..." Lin Li said to Xia Qing with a smile.

Then, under the gaze of the other party's confused eyes, he narrated what happened to Zhou Tongtong and the two little wild cats.

"That's what happened. I accidentally discovered that Zhou Tongtong and the two little wild cats had awakened to spirituality.

Zhou Tongtong has awakened spirituality at such a young age, and it won’t take long for him to naturally break through to the first stage and become a practitioner. This is unprecedented..."

Lin Li told about Zhou Tongtong and the two little wild cats. He thought that Xia Qing would be very happy after hearing his story, but he found that was not the case.

"Uh... Xia Qing, what's wrong with you?" Lin Li asked suspiciously when he saw Xia Qing's face became very serious.

"Huh..." Xia Qing exhaled a long, orchid breath. She glanced at Lin Li, then turned her head and said to her daughter sitting next to her.

"Tongtong, mother and your brother Lin Li need to discuss something. You can take those two little wild cats to the balcony..."

"Oh." The well-behaved Zhou Tongtong nodded immediately after hearing what her mother said.

Then, she ate the last scoop of ice cream in the cup, threw the paper cup into the trash can, came to the two little wild cats, picked up the listless little black cat, and walked to the balcony. The little white cat saw this, He quickly followed him.

"???" Lin Li's face was full of questions, and he looked at Xia Qing's mood change with confusion.

He thought to himself, “Weird, isn’t this supposed to be a good thing?

Any parent would jump for joy when he heard that his daughter was so promising. Why did Xia Qing show such an unhappy expression? "

The doubts in Lin Li's heart did not last long, and he soon got the answer.

Xia Qing saw her daughter and the two little black cats walking into the balcony and closing the sliding door. She turned her head to look at Lin Li, was silent for more than ten seconds, and then spoke.

"Lin Li, I probably haven't mentioned to you before why my husband died, right?"

Lin Li nodded, and then he heard Xia Qing say to him, "My husband is an exotic beast hunter. The reason why he left Tongtong and me early was because of a hunting trip."

Unexpectedly, Xia Qing's husband turned out to be an exotic beast hunter... Lin Li muttered to himself in surprise.

Even experienced exotic beast hunters cannot guarantee that they can return safely every time they go hunting for exotic beasts in the wilderness.

Xia Qing's husband passed away during a hunting trip, leaving her orphaned and widowed. This is actually not uncommon in the industry of exotic beast hunters.

After telling Lin Li why her husband passed away, Xia Qing continued, "Since my husband passed away, I have raised Tongtong alone. I only hope that she can live a peaceful life in the future, so..."

Lin Li listened to Xia Qing's story quietly. When the other party finished speaking, he completely understood why Xia Qing had not let Zhou Tongtong know about the practitioners over the years.

Also, he also knew that after Xia Qing found out that Zhou Tongtong had awakened to spirituality, which was great news for other parents, she didn't feel happy at all.

Lin Li looked at Xia Qing, who was feeling a little depressed. He thought for a while and said, "I can understand what you are thinking.

However, Zhou Tongtong has now awakened to spirituality. It can be said that it is a matter of certainty for her to become a practitioner in the future.

Now that she is still young, there is a way for you to prevent her from having access to information about practitioners... But when she grows older, will you still be able to operate as you do now? "

"..." After hearing what Lin Li said, Xia Qing thought about it for a moment and realized that what Lin Li said made sense.

"Hey... let's do this for now! We'll talk about the rest later."

Seeing Xia Qing's statement, Lin Li didn't say anything more.

After all, he is just a neighbor of the mother and daughter. If he talks too much, it will be very impolite.

"Hey..." Seeing that Lin Li didn't continue speaking, Xia Qing sighed again.

“Although there is no guarantee that every descendant of a practitioner will have the qualifications to awaken spirituality.

But the probability of the descendants of practitioners awakening to spirituality is still quite high.

I have long been mentally prepared that when Tongtong grows up, he will most likely awaken to spirituality at a certain age and become a practitioner like his father.

But what I didn't expect was that Tongtong would awaken to spirituality at such a young age, and like you said, she would soon become a practitioner.

If this matter spreads, it will definitely attract many reporters to report on it, and then our life will not be peaceful..."

After Xia Qing finished sighing, Lin Li said to her understandingly.

"I also hope that Zhou Tongtong will remain as carefree as he is now. Don't worry, I won't mention Zhou Tongtong's spiritual awakening to others..."

Xia Qing looked at Lin Li gratefully and said, "Lin Li, thank you..."

"You're welcome, it's not that difficult to do." Lin Li said with a smile.

On the balcony, Zhou Tongtong squatted down and stretched out her little hands to touch the bodies of the two little wild cats. She turned her head from time to time and looked at the living room through the glass in front of her.

Due to the obstruction of the sliding door, Zhou Tongtong was naturally unable to hear the conversation between Lin Li and Xia Qing in the living room.

"Oh! Adults are always like this." Zhou Tongtong pouted to herself. At this moment, she was thinking that if she were an adult, she wouldn't have to be called to the balcony by Xia Qing.

"Meow..." The two little wild cats, which Zhou Tongtong stroked back and forth with her little hands, let out a comfortable cry.

"Xiao Bai, Xiao Hei."

"Meow?"

When the two little wild cats heard Zhou Tongtong calling them, they immediately opened their eyes and raised their heads to look at her.

"Have you all remembered what Brother Lin Li told you earlier?" Zhou Tongtong, who was driven to the balcony with nothing to do, asked the two little wild cats while petting them.

"Meow...I remember." The little white cat nodded and replied.

"Meow... Zhou Tongtong, don't worry! We won't expose the truth." The little black cat has always been very confident. When Zhou Tongtong asked, it vowed to do so.

"Meow... you are very impetuous in doing things. If we reveal your secret in the future, the problem will definitely be yours." The little white cat turned his head and looked at his friends beside him, teasing.

"Meow... you are so frivolous in what you do! If we really reveal our secrets in the future, the problem will never be my fault." The little black cat who was teased immediately retorted.

Although after this period of rest, some of the spiritual energy it consumed has recovered and its energy has improved, its confidence in speaking is still somewhat lacking.

"Meow... If you had used your powers indiscriminately like you just did, we would have been exposed in other places," said the little white cat.

"..." The little black cat was speechless when his friend pointed out the problem.

The situation is just as the little white cat said. In other places, the little black cat uses the awakened power to become stronger. This change is very conspicuous. If someone sees it, they will immediately discover the abnormality on it.

"Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai is right! You should be more careful when you grow older, don't be discovered..." Zhou Tongtong's little hand patted the little black cat's head and warned.

"Meow...I know, I will be very careful when I grow older." The little black cat replied weakly.

At this time, it felt that it would become bigger, and it seemed that it was not a particularly happy feeling.
