My carefree life in space

Chapter 215 An Awkward Meeting

"Who are you?" Lin Cheng'an looked at the young man supporting him and felt a sense of rejection for no reason.

Mo Ze's relaxed expression vanished instantly. What should he say? Should he say that he is your future son-in-law? One reason he got together with Shu Shu so quickly was because there was no parental objection.

But now, Shushu's father has been found, and her mother will probably appear soon. Abducting someone's daughter without permission—that's a difficult situation to explain!

“Uncle, my surname is Mo, and my name is Mo Ze. We can talk about the rest after we’ve dealt with the current issues.”

As the two were talking, Leng Feng's painful cry rang out, drawing their attention. Lin Cheng'an stopped questioning Mo Ze and instead watched Lin Shushu's every move with concern.

Lin Shushu used her spiritual power to lift Leng Feng's body up and throw him down, slamming him against the opposite stone wall with a cracking sound. He struggled to get up several times, only to be thrown to the ground again the next second.

The moment Lin Shushu saw Lin Cheng'an, she noticed the scars on his body and knew that he had suffered a lot. She wanted to repay Leng Feng for all of this.

After spitting out another mouthful of blood, Leng Feng's eyes were filled with hatred and fear. He hadn't expected the newcomer to be so powerful, and he was completely powerless against her. Nevertheless, he still refused to sit idly by and wait for his death.

"Who exactly are you? I advise you to let me go, otherwise no matter where you flee to, the organization behind me will not let you go."

"Threatening me? What, didn't you say you were from the Yan Yang Sect? Is the Yan Yang Sect the organization behind you?" Lin Shushu mocked.

Leng Feng choked. Since things had come to this, he simply admitted, "Offending people from our Shadow Pavilion never ends well. I advise you to think carefully!" As soon as he finished speaking, a whip formed from spiritual energy struck him with a strong wind, each lash penetrating to the bone, causing him to roll on the ground in pain.

As he rolled over, he used his clothes as cover to take out a teleportation talisman from his storage ring. Just as he was about to activate it, the talisman slipped from his hand and flew straight towards Lin Shushu.

Lin Shushu took the talisman and examined it for a few moments. Although she couldn't recognize it, she knew that something this person could produce under these circumstances was definitely not something simple.

After casually placing it into her spatial storage, Lin Shushu hooked her hand and took Leng Feng's storage ring, wiped off the mark on it, and used her divine sense to examine the contents.

"Give it back to me!" Leng Feng's eyes were bloodshot as he reached out to snatch it, but Lin Shushu lashed him against the stone wall with her whip, and then he slid down.

This blow finally rendered him immobile. He lay prone on the ground, staring furiously in Lin Shushu's direction, filled with resentment. All his escape methods were gone, and he was determined to die here today.

Lin Shushu had never killed anyone before, and what she had just done to Leng Feng was something she had never dared to imagine before. She still hesitated to completely take someone's life.

But she was well aware of her current situation. This was a dog-eat-dog world, and being merciful to the enemy was being cruel to herself. She would not leave any potential dangers for herself or those around her.

Gathering spiritual power once more, he aimed straight for Leng Feng's throat. Before the latter could even utter a sound, he lost his breath and collapsed to the ground, motionless.

Mo Ze watched Lin Shushu's every move the whole time. He knew about her inner struggle, but he never thought of helping her. This step had to be taken eventually, and no one else could do it for her.

Walking back to Lin Cheng'an's side, seeing his excited expression, Lin Shushu knew that he must have guessed her identity. For a moment, the father and daughter were speechless, their emotions saying everything.

After a long while, Lin Cheng'an tentatively reached out to touch Lin Shushu's face, but withdrew his hand halfway. He looked at Lin Shushu, his eyes filled with guilt. He and his wife were unfit to be parents; they had not fulfilled even a fraction of their responsibilities as parents, and now they had no face to acknowledge her.

Lin Shushu's feelings were also complicated. Judging from all the signs, whether it was Lin Shushu in the interstellar world or Lin Shushu in the modern world, she was the same person.

Do they resent it? Of course they do.

No one is born from a crack in a rock, but some people are loved by their parents from a young age and grow up in endless care; while others don't even know who their parents are, let alone feel loved.

She had also resented her parents, wondering why they had abandoned her after giving birth to her. She had also fantasized that one day her parents would suddenly appear and give her a home.

As I grew up, this feeling faded considerably. If it had remained like this forever, I would have let it go. Little did I know that I would travel to another world and discover the secrets hidden in my past.

Before finding her parents, all she could think about was finding them, but once she did, she didn't know how to get along with them. More than twenty years of separation from her blood relatives couldn't be bridged simply by meeting them once.

Noticing the strange atmosphere between the two, Mo Ze had no choice but to break the awkward silence. "Shushu, Uncle, let's leave here first. Once this man dies, the people behind him will definitely find this place very soon."

Lin Shushu nodded, thought for a moment, and then stepped forward to help Lin Cheng'an. After taking the healing pills, Lin Cheng'an's injuries had almost healed, and he could have walked on his own. However, Lin Shushu's help made him feel flattered, and he accepted his daughter's kindness.

Before leaving, Mo Ze disposed of Leng Feng's body. Although he had made enemies with the organization behind him, he wanted to avoid trouble as much as possible. They had no foundation in the cultivation world, and it was not a wise choice to make enemies openly.

Back at the inn where they were staying, after taking Lin Cheng'an to his room, Lin Shushu was about to leave when she heard Lin Cheng'an's cautious voice behind her: "Shushu, I'm sorry!"

Lin Shushu paused, "You rest first, we'll talk about it when you wake up." Without lingering, she left.

After she left, Lin Cheng'an lay in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time. Everything today felt like a dream, and he didn't want to wake up. He was afraid that if he fell asleep, everything would change when he woke up, and his daughter would only exist in his dreams.

Before today, he was fully aware of his situation; he knew he wouldn't live to see his wife and daughter again. Although he wasn't afraid of death, he still had regrets.

Unexpectedly, Lady Luck smiled upon him! Not only did he not die, but the person who saved him was none other than his daughter from another dimension.

The scene he could never have dreamed of actually happened right before his eyes. Excitement and ecstasy were not enough to express his feelings.

However, after the initial excitement, all that remained was a deep sense of guilt. He and his wife had been gone for so many years; how had their daughter grown up?

He knew the Lin family well; Shushu couldn't possibly have had a good life under their control. It was easy to imagine how difficult her journey had been. Not to mention, she had actually come all the way from the Jin Yuan Empire to here.

The thought of the spatial storm that separated him and his wife caused his heart to ache even more. Shushu must have gone through it too.
