956: Chapter 259_2 956: Chapter 259_2 He sighed softly, “You have a child now, and I can’t even see the child.
This lifetime, I might never get to hold my grandchild.”
Cao Zhen hurriedly comforted her, “Mom, you and Dad are both cultivating the technique I gave you, you can still live for a very long time.”
“What’s the use of living a long time?
Your dad and I can’t go to your world, and you can’t come back.
Besides, the longer we live, the more relatives leave us.
We can keep living, but what about them?
Do you know?
Before, when I saw relatives passing away one by one, I couldn’t take it anymore, I found them and I told them about the cultivation technique, hoping they would cultivate too.
But they thought your dad and I were senile, they didn’t listen to us at all.
It was hard to find another who would cultivate, but perhaps because of old age, or maybe something your dad and I taught wasn’t correct, he didn’t achieve much in cultivation, and in the end, he died of cancer.
Now, the relatives around us are fewer and older, and from our generation, it’s just your dad and me left.
Let me tell you…”
Cao Zhen’s mother was still speaking, but she realized that her son had stopped responding.
“It’s always like this, they run off while we’re still talking.”
Cao Zhen’s mother complained, but the corners of her mouth showed a smile.
Although she was complaining, when her child contacted her, when she knew that her child was still alive, to her, it was the best news in the world, and it made her very happy.
Elsewhere, Cao Zhen’s father, with a cheerful tone, said, “Son, now you’ve come to me.”
After the connection with his mother ended, Cao Zhen immediately reconnected with his father through China Cloud.
“Dad, how did you come to be here?
This doesn’t look like our old home.
Have you decided to settle here or are you just visiting?”
Cao Zhen’s father, much calmer than his mother, heard his son’s voice and, although he knew he could communicate with thoughts in his mind, spoke out loud so his wife could hear what he was communicating with their son, “We moved here.
Back at our old home, the older generation has passed away, and the younger generation doesn’t share much in common with us.
There wasn’t much left for us there.
Moreover, although it’s been many years and technology has advanced, making people live longer, your mother and I are still young and healthy, which might draw unwanted attention.
We were too conspicuous in our hometown, so we decided to move.
Luckily, I love fishing, so we moved to the seaside.
This place is pretty nice; nobody knows us here.
They just see us as two old folks living here.
As long as we don’t register for anything or show our IDs, nobody knows exactly how old we are.
Meanwhile, your mom passes time by gardening in the yard, and I go out to sea for fishing.
Let me tell you, a couple of days ago, I was out at sea and caught a 200-pound Bluefin Swordfish.
At that moment, your dad instantly became the star of the ship.
Some young lads even came over to help.
Did your dad need their help?
I pulled the fish up all by myself, and everyone on the ship was stunned.”
Now, I’m the most renowned among the local sea fishers,” Cao Zhen’s father said, raising his thumb as he spoke.
“You know, if I weren’t afraid of being too sensational, I would go into the sea myself and catch the fish with my hands.
But lately, your mom has been a bit bored, complaining I fish too much, abandoning my responsibilities.
Tell me, I’m not short of money, that boss Ma not only gave us money but also some shares.
I’m so wealthy now, what am I supposed to do if not relax and enjoy?
Surely you don’t expect me to go to a construction site to carry bricks?
Maybe try your approach and immerse myself in life?”
Nearby, Cao Zhen’s mother heard her husband bragging non-stop about fishing and couldn’t help but retort, “It’s so hard to get in touch with your son, and here you are showing off your fishing again.
Hurry up and ask him if he’s met any immortals.
Didn’t he say he has several female disciples?
If nothing works, choose some from them.
Pick those who are healthy and can bear children.
Although everyone in your world can cultivate, I doubt the technology is advanced enough for baby formula, so at least make sure the child has a mother to provide milk.”
As soon as Cao Zhen heard his mother’s words, Ling Xi’s image involuntarily surfaced in his mind, and he vigorously shook his head, wondering why he was having such thoughts.
He promptly told his father, “Dad, tell Mom not to overthink it, how could I possibly consider my disciples?
There’s a generational gap!”
Having just been complained to by his wife, Cao Zhen’s father quickly relayed the message, “Your son said he’s the master, he can’t marry a disciple, there’s a generational difference.”
“Why not!” Knowing that her son could hear her even though she couldn’t hear him, Cao Zhen’s mother exclaimed, “Yang Guo ended up with Little Dragon Maiden, why can’t you find a disciple?
Right, how many disciples do you have now, how many are female, and what do they look like?”
Cao Zhen hadn’t expected that, despite having ended the connection with his mother and now being connected to his father, and despite being in different worlds, he still couldn’t escape his mother’s pressure to marry.
He quickly changed the subject, speaking to his father, “Right, Dad, you can enjoy fishing, but Mom doesn’t have those hobbies.
You can’t just let her stay home and watch TV dramas or go out and dance in the square all day.”
