My carefree life in space

Chapter 189 Parents' Past

"Regarding your parents, I actually don't know where they are now, or whether they are alive or dead?"

Knowing Lin Shushu's purpose, Lin Song could only tell the truth. He didn't avoid Mo Ze because he could see the relationship between the two of them, and Lin Shushu didn't seem to want Mo Ze to avoid her at all.

Lin Shushu did not interrupt him, because she knew that he would say more than just that one sentence.

"You must be very curious about who your mother is?" Lin Song's next words completely ignited Lin Shushu's curiosity.

"Your mother's name is Yuan Qing. She belongs neither to the Jin Yuan Empire nor the Aolai Empire. Her origins are related to this ruin."

These words were like a bombshell, leaving Lin Shushu and Mo Ze completely stunned. How could this be? This ruin had been abandoned for at least ten thousand years; how could her mother be involved with it?

Seeing their disbelief, Lin Song explained, "Although she didn't come from here, according to her, this is the only way she can go home."

Lin Shushu suddenly understood. Her mother's experience was likely similar to hers, except that she had transmigrated through soul, while her mother had transmigrated through physical body.

From Lin Song's words, Lin Shushu finally learned about her parents' affairs. Lin Cheng'an was rarely mentioned in the Jin Yuan Empire, and no one had ever heard of Yuan Qing.

If it weren't for the suspicion surrounding Lin Cheng'an's death, these two people might have remained just code names to Lin Shushu forever.

After Lin Cheng'an came of age, he left the Lin family with Lin Song. At first, they were just training in the Jin Yuan Empire. Later, in a spaceship accident, the two were separated, and Lin Cheng'an ended up in the Aolai Empire.

When they met again, two years had passed, and Lin Cheng'an had a woman by his side, Yuan Qing.

Lin Song only learned later that after the accident, Lin Cheng'an had been stranded on a marginal planet of the Aolai Empire. There, he encountered Yuan Qing, who was severely injured and unconscious.

He took Yuan Qing back to his humble abode and cared for her meticulously. As time passed, Yuan Qing gradually recovered, and during their long and difficult time together, their hearts slowly drew closer, and they eventually fell in love.

Yuan Qing confessed her background to Lin Cheng'an. It turned out that she came from the mysterious and powerful world of cultivation, but was framed by villains, not only losing her cultivation but also ending up in this remote place.

Yuan Qing thought this was how her life would be, because as she learned more about this world, she realized that there was an insurmountable gap between it and her original world, not only in terms of distance, but also in terms of the inability to connect in time and space.

Therefore, when she realized Lin Cheng'an's feelings for her, she didn't shy away. After understanding that she also had feelings for him, she accepted his affections, and the two successfully got together.

Until the two left that marginal planet and arrived at the prosperous main planet of the Olay Empire.

Here, Yuan Qing discovered spirit stones, finally giving her a chance to restore her cultivation. Even more surprising, she heard legends about the ruins, and she guessed that they might be a secret passage to the cultivation world.

She didn't hide her story from Lin Cheng'an. Lin Cheng'an also empathized with her hatred, so he asked her if she still had any desire for revenge.

Yuan Qing didn't want to deceive him, so she admitted it.

Lin Chengan considered it for two days and encouraged her to do what she wanted to do, saying he would always be there for her.

The two decided to search for the legendary ruins, and at this time, Yuan Qing discovered that she was pregnant.

She was caught in a dilemma. If it were just the two of them, they could accept any hardship. But with a child, they had to think about the child and absolutely could not bring him into danger.

As fate would have it, Lin Chengan and Lin Song reunited at that very moment.

It turns out that after Lin Song was rescued, he had been searching for Lin Cheng'an. He searched for two years in the Jin Yuan Empire without success, so he decided to try his luck in the Aolai Empire.

Surprisingly, he actually found the person.

Reuniting with Lin Song filled Lin Cheng'an with joy, but also sparked an idea.

He told Lin Song about Yuan Qing's situation and expressed their determination to take revenge.

It wasn't until after Lin Shushu was born that they finally set off to explore the ruins. Before that, they entrusted the child to Lin Song's care and instructed him that if they did not return in two months, he should take the child back to the Jin Yuan Empire to live.

However, Lin Cheng'an did not expect that Lin Song would hand the child over to the Lin family and then return to the Aolai Empire to find them.

Lin Shushu listened to her parents' stories, her heart filled with emotion. She looked at Mo Ze, her gaze hardening.

"Uncle Lin, are you sure my parents came here?" Lin Shushu asked Lin Song for confirmation.

“Over the years I have searched many places, and only this place is similar to the scene your mother described.”

When Lin Cheng'an and the others left, they did not tell Lin Song where they went. However, Yuan Qing had mentioned some things about the cultivation world, so Lin Song believed that they were very likely to have come here.

So, if there are no remains of their parents here, does that mean they have successfully returned to the cultivation world?

"Uncle Lin, who did you come with this time? Are you coming with us or going back to the group?"

“If Miss doesn’t mind, I’m willing to follow you.” Lin Song didn’t hesitate at all. As for his team, it was just a temporary group, and he had no real connection with those people.

"In that case, you can come with us!"

Lin Shushu removed the illusion and walked towards the suspicious place with Mo Ze and Lin Song. This was no longer about joining in the fun; she needed to find her parents, so she had to be fully focused.

By carefully recalling the books she had read in the library, Lin Shushu discovered a method to find her closest relatives through blood ties.

She forced a drop of blood from her fingertip and, following her memory, performed a hand seal. Instantly, the area where they were located shone brightly. The drop of blood slowly rose and swirled in the air, as if sensing something.

Suddenly, the blood droplets seemed to be drawn away in one direction. Lin Shushu's eyes lit up, and she quickly followed. Mo Ze and Lin Song exchanged a glance and hurried after them as well.

The droplets of blood led them through a long, dark passage, finally stopping before a massive stone wall. The wall was covered in strange runes, emitting a faint glow.

Lin Shushu reached out and touched the stone wall, a familiar feeling welling up in her heart.

Just then, the stone wall suddenly flashed with a bright light, and the outline of a door gradually emerged from the light. The door slowly opened, and a wind carrying an ancient aura blew out from inside.

Just as they hesitated whether to step inside, a sudden fluctuation came from inside the door, as if it were a warning.

Lin Shushu gritted her teeth and decided to retreat and observe first. After all, Mo Ze and Lin Song were still there, and she couldn't let them get into danger, otherwise they might disappear like her parents.

Furthermore, she couldn't guarantee that they would be able to reach their parents' place by going through this door.
