NOVEL NEXT Chapter 263: Lin Xiao loses three bloods carelessly at number 140! It's her! If I had known that boys could also be........._1
Deep within the Great Snowy Mountains, at the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Continent, hidden beneath the Thousand Snow Ridge, lay an extremely secret and little-known ice cellar.
Today, this mysterious ice cellar, known as the "Tomb of the Undying," received a visitor.
"Mother, I've come to see you!
"Before Father passed, he left a silk pouch, instructing me to open it only if I encountered a major setback in life! So, after Ye Xuan'er shattered my heart, I opened that pouch, and to my surprise... inside... it revealed your whereabouts! You've been missing for so long! Mother! I've missed you so, so much! BOO HOO HOO...
"Mother! Father's pouch said you didn't die but were sealed by some mysterious power! It said that if I drip my blood onto your brow and wait for three days, you can break the seal and return to the world of the living! I don't know if what Father said is true or not... but I can't worry about that anymore!
"That unfilial daughter of yours, Ye Xuan'er! She actually drew her sword against me, her own brother! Not only that! She usurped the family inheritance that rightfully belonged to me, the legitimate heir. She even threw herself into the arms of an ugly, filthy man! Do you know that depraved man, Lin Xiao, Mother?
"Mother! Father once said you hide an astounding power! If I succeed in reviving you, you must avenge your son! WAAAHHH!"
The young man wept for a while longer before forcing himself to calm down. Wiping away his tears, he stepped forward.
It had been some time since he entered this place. This was the first time he had summoned the courage to look closely at his birth mother.
Her black hair cascaded like a waterfall. She wore a pristine white gown, and a seven-colored floral wreath adorned her head. Her skin was like flawless jade, and her delicate features were exquisitely beautiful, captivating beyond words.
She lay there silently, her expression noble and serene, like a goddess from the Upper Realm slumbering in the mortal world.
Most importantly... when he was a child, he had simply thought his mother was beautiful. But now, as a grown man, he found her figure utterly intoxicating. That noble, exquisite, goddess-like face, the perfect waist-to-hip ratio, and those assets that were in no way inferior to the Chairman of Phoenix Caw Peak's... Coupled with her innate maternal aura... For a moment, the young man was lost in a daze. Was this... was this truly the mother who had nursed him, who had taught him to read and write when he was a child?
I truly envy Father, Ye Chen thought, swallowing hard.
Driven by some strange impulse, he took another step towards the ice coffin. Then, as if guided by an unseen hand, his own hand slowly reached into it, attempting to touch his mother...
It's alright! I haven't seen Mother in so long. I... I just want to embrace her, to fulfill my filial duty! That's all!
If that petty Lin Xiao can be intimate with his beautiful Master, why can't I?
Lin Xiao, oh, Lin Xiao! All the beauties in the Qinglan Sect flock to your side! But you could never imagine, could you? There's a peerless beauty in this world, one with an immeasurable background, who will never betray me, the Son of Destiny! And why? Because—she is my mother!
The more he thought, the more agitated he became.
To think that I, Ye Wudi, have suffered constant setbacks ever since entering the Qinglan Sect's territory. The days when beauties would throw themselves at me are completely gone! These past days, my only intimate companion... has been that giant lizard covered in hideous scales!
"BLEGH!" Remembering the madness in the ruined temple that day, the young man gagged with revulsion once more.
Mother, I... I desperately need the embrace of a beautiful woman right now. Please... heal me! After all, you haven't seen your Chen'er since I grew up. If Father could... then I can too! It's just... an embrace!
With this thought, all hesitation vanished. His features twisted with a feverish excitement, giving him a somewhat deranged look.
He thrust out his single arm.
Closer! Ever closer!
Just as the young man's palm was about to touch the beautiful woman in the ice coffin, an undeniable demonic voice implanted itself in his mind: "Ye Chen, my child! The Sky Yin Demon Sect's uprising is imminent! Why haven't you returned to the Qinglan Sect to act as your father's protector?"
The Sky Yin Blood Demon!
Hearing this voice, the young man shuddered, his face draining of color in terror.
That fiend is indeed monitoring my every move!
"Lord Blood Demon! My deepest apologies! I... I failed in my mission! I couldn't persuade Ye Xuan'er!"
Ye Chen hastily prostrated himself on the ground, then quickly added, "As for this ice cellar, it's actually..."
Before he could finish, the demonic voice continued, "Enough pointless talk! Return to the Coiling Dragon Abyss at once! Your father has an urgent matter to entrust to you! There can be no delay!"
Seeing that the Sky Yin Blood Demon seemed uninterested in his mother's situation, Ye Chen breathed a long sigh of relief. He kowtowed quickly and said, "Rest assured, Adoptive Father! I will depart for your side immediately!"
He knew that half of his Seven Evil Demon Heart was in the Sky Yin Blood Demon's grasp.
Therefore, he dared not linger. After one last, lingering, reluctant look at his mother, he gritted his teeth and departed.
