Chapter 2057: Chapter 2057: Pluck a Few Hairs and Return

"I do want to wait, and I also want to wait until the child is born, and then raise her until she can walk before going to the Illusion Continent, but I’m afraid that person won’t give us so much time," Grandpa spoke.

If that person knew she was expecting, they would certainly make a move, and by then, they would be in the light, and that person in the shadows, restricting every move they make.

But if they were to set off now, they might catch that person off guard.

In that case, they might stand a chance to pry some secrets from that person’s mouth, getting to the truth of Zimo’s origins.

"After you’ve had a good rest these days, we will set off for the Illusion Continent in a few days," Zimo said after thinking for a while.

Indeed, he wanted more time, but that person wouldn’t give it to them. If they found out that Sang’er was pregnant at this moment, they would likely be even more pleased, eager to catch them all in one go, or to exploit them for their own use.

"Sang’er, once we get to the Illusion Continent, try to stay inside the Golden Bead Space as much as possible. Leave everything outside to me, okay?"

After thinking it over, he still felt uneasy and instructed Lin Caisang.

"Mhm."

Lin Caisang lightly responded, snuggling her entire body into Zimo’s embrace.

"I will listen to everything you say."

Zimo tightened his arms around her and lay down with her, resting together.

...

Night had just fallen.

The Lin Family home was bustling with activity. The villagers, having heard of Lin Baizhong’s return, all came by to see him in person, their mouths filled with congratulations.

But Lin Caisang, who sat on the side watching people come and go, could tell.

Some were genuinely there to offer congratulations, while others’ eyes roved around inside their home, as if searching for something.

"Time to eat."

Zimo placed a bowl of rice before Lin Caisang, signaling her to eat.

At his words, Lin Caisang looked at the white rice in front of her, then raised her head to gaze at Zimo, crossed her arms, and rested her chin on her hands, raising her eyebrows questioningly.

"Don’t you like it? What would you like to eat? I’ll make it for you."

Seeing her reaction, Zimo thought she didn’t want to eat rice or the dishes on the table and asked.

In the afternoon, after Sang’er had fallen asleep, he had inquired about pregnant women’s appetite from the physician Jiang Zuo, knowing that their cravings can be very odd, desiring something one moment and not the next.

He had always catered to Sang’er’s tastes before, and naturally, he would be even more attentive now.

"It’s not that."

Lin Caisang shook her head with a smile.

"Zimo, do you think the people who came today all hope to pluck a few feathers from Dad?"

The more she thought about it, the funnier it seemed. Many were inquiring of her Grandpa and Grandma – their son had returned home in wealth, so had he brought back endless gold and jewels?

So that Grandpa and Grandma could now enjoy endless prosperity and riches.

"You..."

Zimo affectionately raised his hand and lightly tapped her cheek.

"Whatever they think is their business. Don’t worry about it."

"Exactly, Sangsang. Even if our family had mountains of gold and silver, it would still be ours. What does it have to do with others? If they want it, they should earn it themselves," Lin Changhong said as he picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and placed it in her bowl.

However, he did feel it was a bit tiring for his grandparents to deal with those people.

"Grandpa, Grandma, I think you two are going to be pretty busy from now on," he said jokingly.
