Chapter 108

Chapter 108: The Taste Is Amazing Retry  Reason

“Behave yourself later. Be careful, or I’ll smack you again!” The more Wang Lan spoke, the more severe her expression became. Retry  Reason

Ning Ji felt a deep bitterness in his heart. Retry  Reason

He couldn’t help but recall the past. Retry  Reason

During his childhood, Ning Zhuo often lost track of time while playing and missed meals, returning home late to find only leftovers on the table. Retry  Reason

“Who told you to come back so late? Hehe, you’re in trouble now.” Ning Ji, having eaten his fill, sat at the table and teased him. Retry  Reason

Ning Zhuo stuck out his tongue and sat down, just about to pick up some food with his chopsticks. Retry  Reason

Smack! Retry  Reason

Wang Lan memukul sumpit Ning Zhuo dengan miliknya, menyebabkan sumpit itu jatuh ke tanah.

“Tidak ada sopan santun!”

Ekspresi Wang Lan berubah dingin.

“Ada kotoran di bawah kukumu. Apakah Anda lupa aturan yang saya ajarkan kepada Anda? Ayo cuci tanganmu.”

“Ya!”

Wajah Ning Zhuo memucat saat dia buru-buru mengangguk, meninggalkan bangku bundar, dan menutupi punggung tangannya, bergegas keluar rumah untuk mandi.

Tapi saat dia tertunda, bel berbunyi.

“Sudah waktunya. Bersihkan ruang makan. Oh, Zhuo yang malang, tidak ada lagi yang tersisa untuk kamu makan,” Ning Ji bertepuk tangan dengan gembira, menikmati kemalangannya.

“Menguasai?”

Wang Lan hesitated, glancing at Ning Ze. Retry  Reason

Ning Ze’s expression was indifferent as he slowly stood up and left his seat. “Rules are rules, no exceptions!” Retry  Reason

“Yes, Master!” Wang Lan lowered her head in acknowledgment. Retry  Reason

Ning Zhuo stepped back into the dining room. Retry  Reason

The once small child who had covered the red back of his hand and rushed off to wash up had now, in what seemed like a fleeting moment, grown into a sixteen-year-old youth. Retry  Reason

He was dressed in white, with a calm gaze, and slowly walked in. Retry  Reason

Both Ning Ji and Wang Lan felt a sense of time passing quickly, like a fleeting moment. Retry  Reason

Wang Lan quickly collected herself, stood up, and flashed a wide smile at Ning Zhuo, waving him over, “Little Zhuo, you’re here! We were just waiting for you to start the meal.” Retry  Reason

Ning Zhuo bowed and greeted, “Aunt.” Retry  Reason

He then looked at Ning Ji and smiled slightly, “Cousin.” Retry  Reason

Ning Ji nodded, his expression complicated. Retry  Reason

Wang Lan said, “Ah, you’re still so polite, child. No need for all that. We don’t stand on so many formalities in our family. Come, sit, sit!” Retry  Reason

Wang Lan led Ning Zhuo to sit beside her. Retry  Reason

However, she didn’t sit at the head of the table. Retry  Reason

The head seat at the round table was empty; it was reserved for Ning Ze. Retry  Reason

Seeing this, Ning Zhuo understood the purpose of Wang Lan’s warm reception. Retry  Reason

Sure enough, not long after they began eating, Wang Lan brought up Ning Ze: “Little Zhuo, what your uncle did was wrong. He took things that rightfully belonged to you.” Retry  Reason

“You’re such a kind-hearted child; otherwise, you wouldn’t have forgiven your uncle so easily. Retry  Reason

“Your father’s brother is your uncle. We are truly family.” Retry  Reason

As she spoke, Wang Lan felt stifled and secretly resentful. Retry  Reason

She knew well that this was all baseless. Retry  Reason

But since Ning Xiaoren had already made arrangements, Ning Ze could only go along with it. Retry  Reason

Wang Lan had no choice but to support her husband in this. Retry  Reason

Ning Zhuo said, “Aunt, you’re right. In this world, the people closest to me are still you all.” Retry  Reason

“Honestly, when I first heard about it, I was very angry.” Retry  Reason

“But as time went on, I let it go. After all, he is my uncle, and you are my closest relatives.” Retry  Reason

“As long as you return the embezzled money and resources, that’s all I ask.” Retry  Reason

“We never embezzled anything! That Ning Xiaoren is a complete scoundrel. You believe whatever he says?” Wang Lan roared internally, her anger twisting her smile into something grotesque. Retry  Reason

She forced herself to suppress her fury. “Yes, we will return it, but it will take time. The amount is substantial, and we can’t gather it all at once.” Retry  Reason

“I completely understand, that’s perfectly fine.” Ning Zhuo nodded. Retry  Reason

As he spoke, he quietly observed Ning Ji and Wang Lan. Retry  Reason

The embryonic form of his divine ability had already been activated in secret. Retry  Reason

Unlike before, the lotus seed of the “Life Hanging by a Thread” divine ability had now grown into a section of lotus root. Retry  Reason

This embryonic divine ability allowed him to control his fluctuations and quietly activate his powers. Retry  Reason

As long as the target wasn’t too powerful, he could fully conceal his aura, moving undetected. Retry  Reason

Ning Zhuo had chosen to stay temporarily at his uncle’s house, not only because of the constant surveillance in Ning Xiaoren’s mansion but also to test his divine ability. Retry  Reason

The “Life Hanging by a Thread” divine ability became stronger with more understanding, and its control grew tighter. Retry  Reason

In this world, Ning Ze’s family was the one Ning Zhuo knew best. Retry  Reason

𝗲𝓃𝐮𝓶𝐚.i𝓭

After all, they had lived together for over a decade, which was no small matter. Retry  Reason

In Ning Zhuo’s vision, a “Life Hanging by a Thread” thread gradually formed above Ning Ji’s head. Retry  Reason

Unlike the thread he had used in the Lava Immortal Palace to extract souls, the thread Ning Zhuo controlled now was extremely thin and semi-transparent. Retry  Reason

Soon, a “Life Hanging by a Thread” thread also appeared above Wang Lan’s head. Retry  Reason

The mother and son were completely unaware. Retry  Reason

Ning Zhuo tried to manipulate them. Retry  Reason

Ning Ji suddenly grabbed his throat, making a choking sound. Retry  Reason

“What’s wrong?” Wang Lan, about to persuade Ning Zhuo, was interrupted by Ning Ji’s sudden outburst. Retry  Reason

Ning Ji’s face flushed as he said, “I swallowed a fishbone!” Retry  Reason

Wang Lan snorted and ignored him. Retry  Reason

She continued, “Little Zhuo, you know your uncle has been in the private prison for days now. You know what the conditions are like there; it’s no place for anyone to stay.” Retry  Reason

“I’ve tried to see the young clan leader, but he refuses to meet us. Retry  Reason

“Little Zhuo, I just want you to—cough, cough!” Retry  Reason

Wang Lan suddenly started coughing. Retry  Reason

Ning Zhuo quickly handed her a cup. “Aunt, please, take your time. Don’t get too worked up!” Retry  Reason

Wang Lan thanked him, took the cup, and drank a sip of water. Retry  Reason

“Cough, cough, cough!” Retry  Reason

This time, she coughed even more violently, having choked on the water. Retry  Reason

“I’m so sorry you had to see that, Little Zhuo!” Retry  Reason

It took Wang Lan quite a while to recover, and all the emotions she had been building up vanished. Retry  Reason

Of course, Ning Zhuo wouldn’t tell her that all of this was the result of his experimenting with his divine ability. Retry  Reason

Wang Lan hesitated for a moment and then started to speak again, but after only a few words, Ning Ji suddenly grabbed his throat and opened his mouth wide, making strange noises. Retry  Reason

“What’s wrong with you now?” Wang Lan frowned. Retry  Reason

Ning Ji, feeling wronged, said, “I, I got another fishbone stuck.” Retry  Reason

“You’re such a big boy, and you can’t even eat a fish properly. You’re hopeless.” Retry  Reason

Wang Lan glared at Ning Ji. Retry  Reason

Ning Ji quickly lowered his head, assuming a meek posture as he braced for a scolding. Retry  Reason

Wang Lan reprimanded him for a few more moments, and Ning Ji’s face turned redder, shifting uncomfortably in his seat. Retry  Reason

“What’s wrong with you now?” Retry  Reason

Wang Lan snapped. Retry  Reason

“Mother, I need to use the restroom!” Ning Ji said. The intense urge to relieve himself made him desperate. Retry  Reason

“Go, quickly!” Retry  Reason

Wang Lan couldn’t stand to look at Ning Ji anymore. Retry  Reason

Ning Ji segera bangkit dan bergegas keluar ruang makan.

Gerakannya canggung, dan ketika dia melewati ambang pintu, dia secara tidak sengaja mengeluarkan kentut.

Ning Zhuo memanipulasi benang “Kehidupan Tergantung pada Seutas Benang”, menyebabkan Ning Ji tersandung kakinya sendiri hanya beberapa langkah melewati ambang pintu, membuatnya terjatuh ke tanah.

Wang Lan memelototinya, hendak memarahinya, tetapi tersedak air liurnya sendiri, menyebabkan batuk yang lama.

Ning Zhuo tersenyum sedikit dan menghentikan Wang Lan untuk melanjutkan. “Bibi, saya rasa saya mengerti apa yang ingin Anda katakan.”

“Jangan khawatir. Saya akan memohon kepada pemimpin klan muda atas nama paman saya.”

𝗲𝓃𝐮𝓶𝐚.i𝓭

“Saya akan mencoba membebaskannya sesegera mungkin.”

Mendengar kata-kata ini, Wang Lan begitu gembira hingga dia menampar pahanya. “Oh, Zhuo Kecil, kamu anak yang baik! Kamu yang terbaik!”

“Bibi sangat berterima kasih padamu, sangat berterima kasih!”

Ning Zhuo berkata, “Ayo makan dulu.”

Wang Lan dengan penuh semangat menggunakan sumpit komunal untuk mengambilkan makanan untuk Ning Zhuo.

Namun di tengah jalan, makanan itu jatuh ke atas meja.

Wang Lan merasa malu.

“Bibi, tidak perlu untuk itu. Saya akan membantu diri saya sendiri. ” Ning Zhuo mengambil mata ikan dengan sumpitnya dan meletakkannya di mulutnya.

Dia hanya menggigit kecil, tetapi Ning Zhuo sudah sangat terpikat dengan sensasi.

Kemampuan ilahi “Highing Highing By A Thread”, pernah digunakan, menyebabkan sebagian dari kekuatan dan tindakan kultivator dikendalikan jika mereka terperangkap dalam utasnya.

Sama seperti eksperimen Ning Zhuo baru -baru ini, baik Wang Lan dan Ning Ji membuat gerakan dan kesalahan kecil beberapa kali.

“Perasaan ini … perasaan ini benar -benar tak terlukiskan!”

Rasanya seolah -olah

Semuanya bisa dengan mudah dipengaruhi olehnya, seolah -olah semuanya ada di dalam kendalinya.

Ning Zhuo sangat mabuk oleh ini.

“Bagaimana rasanya?”

Wang Lan bertanya dengan khawatir, “Saya membuat ikan ini sendiri.”

Saat Ning Zhuo mengunyah mata ikan, matanya berkedip dengan cahaya dingin. Dia dengan tulus menjawab, “Rasanya … itu sangat menakjubkan.”
