108 Uncultured Swines' slice of life

The night that the West Abundance Wind passed by. Even though the harsh winds had passed by in the morning, the area was still windy. The forest surrounding the place was quaking with trees bending, and all the little animals couldn't help but tremble as they hid under their respective safe havens.

But in the suppressive darkness, the bright city awash with the light of bright torches and hurricane lamps stood out; not much wind passed its walls to disturb the inhabitants inside. For them, as much as the animals hated today, they loved.

Their Evolved were happy today; some of their kids had Awakened today, and today had been an excellent day of business. Some men and women joined in the center of the Starlight Zone, and a huge bonfire lay in the middle, burning high.

"Haiyya..." an old man sighed and began to walk towards the fire. "Life is so boring. This old man should just die."

Some people laughed while a young boy desperately held the old man's clothes. "Granppa! Granppa!" the boy squeaked with an anxious voice and dragged back the old man's clothes. But unfortunately, he was weak, and his legs were dragged through the mud towards the fire.

"Granppa! Gran—" Just as the boy grew anxious to the max, he seemed to have gotten some divine power, and his grandpa staggered backward.

"Haiyya..." the old man sighed again. "Even brats are now so strong!"

People around laughed while the old man decided to do the same thing and walk towards the fire again.

On another side of the bonfire was a quickly set-up place for meat and alcohol. Han Li sat there with a flagon of alcohol in his hand and an unapproachable expression while Li Yao drank from another jar beside him.

"Ha, damn!" she hissed, "On-the-spot drinks hit differently!"

Han Li ignored her and chewed inside his teeth for some of the bird meat stuck in his gums while peacefully looking at the old man's shenanigans. While beside the duo enjoying their alcohol stood Yue Li and Liyue—both were glaring at a jug of drinks in front of them.

"Liyue, maybe the day had finally arrived when the queen of this kingdom finally fell to the dark side," Yue Li said mysteriously.

Liyue looked at her dubiously. "That is at my girl," Yue Li looked around suspiciously. "All of the people around would make you want to drink alcohol and become like your mother. But that is the dark path, and my child, you don't belong in the world of darkness."

Liyue smiled slightly and asked, "Why are you speaking so weirdly, Mother?" The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

"Shhh..." Yue Li shushed her with a finger. "Let not the world of darkness know what the light thinks. Look around you, Liyue. Do the people around seem familiar to you?"

Liyue blinked and looked around. Deep down, she was actually having her heart beat loudly, but the cheery noices of the crowd around the area made its noise negligible. Who would have thought she would be able to look at people's faces without looking down a second later?

"...they don't really seem familiar, even though I do know some."

"That is it, Liyue!" Yue Li laughed. "Then why would you be so bothered about what they think and what they wouldn't? Just be like me, uncaring of anybody's reaction. Bwahahaha!"

Liyue looked at Yue Li, her eyes growing starry. "So you are telling me not to worry about others because they don't matter anyway?"

"Yep!" Yue Li sniffed back some snot coming down her nose, and her face reddened a bit more. "Oh no, I forgot to continue the narrative."

At that age, he was still an Unawakened for no reason.

'An anti-violence person who died for a woman, is he the opposite of me?' Han Li pondered. In everyone's life, they were their own main characters, their own protagonists, while the others became their side characters. No matter how experienced he grew, he couldn't understand all of human hearts.

That was complicated.

Yue Li moved from the back and hugged Han Li's neck. He carried her and walked away while the other two followed, Liyue basically dragging Li Yao, who was drunk and clinging on to a big jar of alcohol.

After quite a bit of shame for the introverted little lady, of course. Han Li chuckled at them, and they traveled back to their path home. and while at it, he briefly thought of a poem again, but he shook his head.

"Ah, this night shall have no poems from me! Today is a day for me to relax. Liyue, recite your hubby a poem!"

Liyue was startled as she walked behind him with her mother in tow.

"Poem? Me?"

"Yeah, you!"

Yue Li's eyebrows danced in intrigue. "Poem! Sing!"

Liyue stayed silent for a while before she took a deep breath and said with a sigh of defeat, "I don't know any poems..."

Han Li shook his head.

"Li Yao, you sing!"

Li Yao looked at him groggily. "Poem? Those are for the scholars, don't ask me."

Han Li sighed. "Mom, your turn."

"Mine?" Han Li nodded.

Yue Li smiled and hugged him tightly.

"Your mother is illiterate, you sing."

Han Li cursed under his breath.

Uncultured swines.
