Beast Tamer, Wither Skeleton's Storm Journey

Chapter 123 Parental Love VI Partner

Although he had endless associations in his mind, Gu Li still took the food and walked back into the shabby room.

Picking up the completely rusted pot and taking a look at it, Gu Li sighed slightly and shook his head helplessly. He then took out a brand new pot from the space bracelet and then built a pile of earth with his hands.

Actually, this skill was taught to Gu Li by his father during the handicraft homework assignments taught by his teacher in kindergarten.

It seemed like he made a big fool of himself at that time. Other students were cute toys, but he was the only one who went with a lump of mud.

He built a small fire pit and placed the pot on it. Then he slowly walked a few hundred meters to fetch a large bucket of mountain spring water, walked back to the cabin, and poured it into the pot.

This long life of being alone forever is the cruelest torture inflicted on him by heaven. If he doesn't find something to do, he will really be driven crazy.

Gu Li sat on the ground, looking at the pot of water in front of him and the ingredients on the ground. For a moment, he felt like an elementary school student drawing, not knowing where to start.

"How did mom cook?"

Gu Li muttered to himself, picked up the potatoes, began to peel them, and then peeled the squash.

“How do you eat beans?”

Gu Li looked at the bag of beans and fell into deep thought.

"It seems like she wanted to cut off the beginning and the end. That's what my mother did at the time."

So, Gu Li pinched off the first and last beans of all the beans, leaving only the one in the middle.

"Then I remember... I thought I had to copy it."

Thinking of this, Gu Li looked at the water in the pot, smiled helplessly, took out a basin, poured water into it, then took out the oil and started frying the beans.

Trying hard to recall her mother's cooking methods, Gu Li finally made a pot of edible food.

I took a sip of the soup, sipped it, and felt like something was missing.

"Alas, there is no meat."

Gu Li thought for a long time and finally remembered what was missing. The beans without meat would have no taste at all. It was a pity that he covered the pot, took out another iron pot, took out the thousand-year-old rice from the eternally locked space, and started to simmer the rice.

"Meat? Fish is okay?"

Just as Gu Li was staring at the flames in a daze, a huge piece of fish was handed to Gu Li.

?

Gu Li raised his head in confusion, looked at the woman in front of him, and met her golden pupils. It took him a long time to remember who she was.

"Are you that stupid dragon?"

Lan was already very tired, and after hearing Gu Li's words, she still glared and retorted.

"Who is the stupid dragon?"

Gu Li was choked by the question. He waved his hands helplessly and stopped talking about this topic. Instead, he looked at the piece of meat in her hand.

"Where did you get the fish? Is there life in this world?"

"No, it doesn't look like he's been out, could it be..."

Gu Li thought for a long time, looked at Lan who was standing there, swallowed, and moved back silently.

(?д?)

"Sorry, I don't eat dragon meat."

Lan:(｀?′)?

"Stupid human, this is the snack I stored in my space ring in 1400 years. If you dare to say anything more, I will hang you up and beat you!"

The corner of Gu Li's mouth twitched, but he still took the meat from Lan's hand, cut a few pieces and put them in the pot.

"How much fish meat do you have hidden in your small space?"

Lan happened to be tired as well, so she sat down next to Gu Li without caring about her appearance, looking at the boiling food in front of her.

"Just a few thousand, not a lot."

Lan whispered, looking at the pot in front of him with a numb expression.

"What are we doing here?"

"Looking for the innate treasure, you foolish human. Have you become a fool in a thousand years?"

"Did you find it?"

"No....."

Gu Li and Lan huddled in a corner of the dilapidated house, asking and answering each other, killing the desperate time.

Su Mingli was watching from the side, and Silla was amazed.

"Good boy, so this is how your father got your mother, really amazing."

"One thousand four hundred and fifty years, it's okay to be depressed by a dragon."

Su Mingli shook his head

"No, Long's heart mirror is not that fragile. She is just here to test Gu Li."

"Are you so sure?"

"Just keep watching."

Silla and Su Mingli said, and turned their attention to the two people in front of the pot.

The food was ready at this time. Gu Li also took out two pairs of bowls and chopsticks and was eating bite by bite.

"This is the food you humans eat. It's pretty good."

Lan had just learned how to use chopsticks. He picked up a piece of potato, held it in front of his eyes, looked at it for a few seconds, and then put it into his mouth.

“Surprisingly delicious.”

Gu Li ate the food, which was very different from what he remembered, bite by bite, while looking at the moon in the sky.

Lan kept chattering on the side until he didn't get any response from Gu Li, then he turned around and confronted Gu Li.

"Why aren't you talking? What are you thinking about?"

Gu Li looked at the sky outside, swallowed the food in his mouth and said.

"I was thinking about my mother."

Lan was holding the bowl, and Gu Li's appearance was reflected in his golden pupils.

"Mother?"

Gu Li nodded

"Yes, that's it, mother. I think you are a dragon from the South China Sea."

Lan glanced at Gu Li and answered thoughtfully.

"Yes what's the matter?"

"It is said that dragons only marry one partner in their lifetime. Don't you miss your mother?"

After hearing this, Lan looked at the food in his hand, then turned his head to look at Gu Lidao.

"I don't have a mother."

"Your childhood was miserable then."

Lan: (⊙︿⊙)....

After they finished their meal, Lan stood up without saying a word and turned into a cloud of mist and left.

Only Gu Li was left, holding the bowl and looking at the sky.

Su Mingli watched Lan leave and the time speed up again, calculating.

"I think we are getting close to the truth."

"Just wait and see. I'm looking forward to it."

......

Four thousand years later, Gu Li was sitting cross-legged among mountains and forests. He was still wearing the same clothes he had worn five thousand five hundred years ago, and his appearance had not changed at all.

But there was no breath on him at all, and the whole person seemed to merge with the surrounding environment, turning into something like stone and dust.

Gu Li has been sitting cross-legged here for four thousand years, ever since he had his last meal four thousand years ago.

He looks like he's still alive, but in fact he has stopped thinking long ago.

In this quiet jungle, a pair of slender hands touched Gu Li's head, and with the infusion of power, Gu Li woke up.

"Human, wake up."

When Gu Li heard the call, he looked at the scene in front of him with a confused look on his face.

A woman with golden eyes and fatigue almost overflowing from her eyes was standing in front of him.

"Get up and talk to me for a few words."

The woman seemed to know him. She sat next to Gu Li and even leaned on him.

Gu Li thought for a long time before he remembered how to pronounce it, and asked with a confused look on his face.

"Who are you?"

Lan was stunned. Seeing that she didn't reply, Gu Li asked again.

"Where is this place? Who am I? What am I doing?"

Lan looked at Gu Li's face and recalled his five thousand years of searching.

She almost searched the entire planet, from the boundless starry sky to hundreds of thousands of meters underground. Finally, she tried her best and searched every possible location.

Nothing at all.

This made her really examine the situation. What Gu Li said 5,500 years ago was that there was no such treasure at all. The two people just went to another world.

During these five thousand years, every minute and every second was spent so realistically, without a trace of falsehood. The world was changing, the world was also moving, but the only thing missing was life.

There were only the two of them in this eternally peaceful world, existing like two stains.

"I am your partner, do you remember? We still have a contract."

Lan threw herself on Gu Li, pressing the soft area on her chest. She looked directly at Gu Li with her golden eyes and said so.
