Chapter 1271: The Regretful Mu Ling V
"Qing'er," Feng Tianyu looked at Chen Qingyan who was kneeling before Feng Ruqing in indifference before looking at Feng Ruqing with a warm gaze. "Just leave this matter to me."
At this moment, Chen Qingyan felt her body going soft as she almost passed out. She bit her lower lip hard in order to keep herself awake.
She did not understand. How could the human heart be so ruthless?
Chen Qingyan did not have the chance to beg as she was dragged away by Old Master Mu's people. They also dragged away Mu Xi and Mu Huan's corpses.
Their departure finally brought back peace and silence to the street.
"Father, Mother, I still need to make a trip to the chief manor. It was so difficult for Chen'er to return, both of you need to take care of him well."
All these years, Chen'er had suffered too much in the Qin family. The moment she thought about those scenes, her heart felt pain.
However, she had something more important to do at the moment.
"Qing'er, we had just gathered together not long ago and previously, there were still other people causing a racket. Why are you leaving so soon?" Feng Tianyu's handsome face looked a little ugly. "Are you going to see that stupid boy, Nan Xian?"
Feng Ruqing's face darkened.
'Imperial Father, you called other people a 'stupid boy' in front of his mother and grandfather. Is that really a good idea?'
Nalan Yan nudged Feng Tianyu. "Even if you are dissatisfied that your daughter is being taken away, you can't scold Nan Xian in front of other people. We are here to discuss their engagement. If you are angry, you could express your dissatisfaction behind their backs. After all, nobody would know."
Feng Ruqing, Suyi, and Old Master Mu were rendered speechless.
Even Mu Ling who had long been forgotten on the sideline was also speechless.
"Cough, cough." In the end, Old Master Mu lightly coughed twice and broke the awkward silence. "In the future, we are all a family. If there is anything Nan Xian does not do well, as his parents-in-law, whenever there is a need to scold him, just scold him. If there is a need to beat him, just beat him. There is no need to be courteous. As a man, his skin is very tough. There are some things that he needs to bear on his own."
As a man, he had to endure beatings and withstand scolding. He had to carry this family's burdens on his shoulders.
The bloody light in Mu Ling's eyes had dispersed and he raised his head to look at Old Master Mu.
'So...
'This was the reason the old master had beaten him up since young?'
At least when the old master's head was still clear, he would also beat up Mu Qingyin, not caring the least bit about Mu Qingyin's body.
Could it be that he had always felt that men could endure beatings?
Even the corner of Suyi's lips could not help but turn down.
'Yes, this was indeed Nan Xian's grandfather. Biological grandfather!'
She sighed as she lit a candle for Nan Xian in her heart. Then, she gently held Feng Ruqing's hand.
"Qing'er, don't worry. Your wedding matters can be decided when he returns. In the future, if he bullies you... I will bring you far away. There is no need to be bothered about him."
White phoenix flapped its wings as it looked at her in anticipation. "Suyi, Suyi, what about me?"
"Oh..." Suyi's expression remained indifferent. "You can follow Nan Xian and live together and soar together."
White phoenix was left speechless.
It just wanted to be Nan Xian's father. It did not wish to live and soar with him.
"Suyi..."
A voice full of grief called out to Suyi.
The last bit of smile on Suyi's face disappeared. Her back faced Mu Ling, not saying a single word.
"I know you hate Chen Qingyan. I hate her too. However, I can give her to you and you can deal with her however you like."
He wished he could personally end Chen Qingyan.
However, this time, he was willing to let Suyi deal with Chen Qingyan.
"Alright."
Suyi remained indifferent. She sounded weary, obviously not wanting to say anything more to him.
Chapter 1272: The Regretful Mu Ling VI
"Suyi..." Mu Ling's voice contained suppressed pain. "I did not know these matters. I really did not know that you were the one who had saved me back then. I also did not know that Chen Qingyan had done so many wrong things. Could you... forgive me? Taking into consideration Old Master and Nan Xian?"
It was not hard to hear his nervousness through his voice, fearful that Suyi would reject him.
Even white phoenix's heart was violently guarded as he glared at Mu Ling.
'This scum actually dares to ask Suyi to forgive him?
'It is impossible that Suyi would forgive him! Absolutely impossible!'
Although it thought so in its heart, white phoenix still looked at Suyi somewhat nervously, awaiting her reply.
"I got it." Suyi remained calm and elegant. "For Old Master Mu's sake, I will not be calculative with you."
"Then... Suyi..."
"However, even though I can forgive you for abandoning me and forgive your betrayal, I cannot forgive you for trying to harm my grandchildren!"
Mu Ling was a little stunned. "I did not. Furthermore, I do not think we have any grandchildren."
Suyi calmly turned around and looked at Mu Ling coldly.
"Do you want me to remind you?" She approached Mu Ling. "You sent people to Liu Yun Kingdom and wanted to poison Qing'er, intending to render her infertile! If it were not because Qing'er is so strong, and the people you had hired had their own agenda and had used the poison on someone else, I would never ever hear anyone calling me 'grandmother' with Nan Xian's attitude of only wanting Qing'er in this life."
Suddenly, everyone glared at Mu Ling fiercely.
Old Master Mu was so angry that he pointed at Mu Ling. "Mu Ling, you are an animal reared by a b*tch! Get lost, get out of the Mu family!"
The old housekeeper nearby was trying to calm the old master down. "Old Master, you can scold if you want to, but do not scold our lady. Are you not afraid that our lady would crawl out from hell and fight with you?"
Old Master was so angry that he had gotten muddled. He had actually scolded Mu Ling saying that he was brought up by a b*tch. Was that not scolding his own wife who had passed away?
"Hehe." Feng Tianyu sneered. "It seems like the state preceptor's father is not only stupid, but even his heart is black. Nobody can simply destroy my, Feng Tianyu's, daughter to such an extent! Today, I want the Mu family to give me an explanation. Otherwise, my daughter will not get married."
Coincidentally there was an excuse. He could keep his daughter for a few more years! At least, he could prevent the state preceptor from taking his daughter away so easily.
The moment Feng Tianyu thought about how the state preceptor was staying in Liu Yun Kingdom for so many years with impure intentions, his heart felt uncomfortable.
He even thought that the state preceptor was a good person and had been so respectful toward him. He had never expected that he would take his baby daughter away.
Nalan Yan did not say a word as she pursed her lips lightly, obviously agreeing with Feng Tianyu's words.
Qin Chen subconsciously took two steps forward as his cold eyes locked onto Mu Ling...
"What do you mean not marry? Qing'er definitely needs to marry Nan Xian," Suyi said calmly, "I am not someone from the Mu family. Nan Xian and I are not related to Mu Ling in any way! Besides, Nan Xian and I have nowhere to go. So, why don't I stay at Liu Yun Kingdom's imperial palace, at least I'll have my in-law, Nalan Yan, as a companion."
Originally, Old Master Mu was a little anxious when he heard Feng Tianyu's words.
As to why it was just a little...
It was because he had thought that Suyi would be in the same boat.
However, now that he had heard that Suyi was not willing to stay at the Mu family, the old master panicked completely.
"No, all of you are not allowed to leave! Who allowed all of you to leave? Nan Xian and Xiao Qing are the Mu family's people. I have just kicked Mu Ling out of the family clan!" Old Master Mu glared angrily at Mu Ling. "Why are you still not leaving? You just have to affect your so... Ptui, could it be that you want to affect Nan Xian's happiness? Get lost! Get lost! Get lost!!!"
Chapter 1273: A Lifetime of Pain I
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mu Ling was left speechless.
At this moment, he really had the feeling of being betrayed by everyone and abandoned by all his relatives.
However, all these were the consequences of his own choices and he could not blame it on anyone else.
"Father..."
"Who is your father? Get lost! I don't have such a son like you. Go as far as you can, do not obstruct our family from a happy gathering!"
He said it as if Mu Ling was not part of his family...
Mu Ling's facial expression turned very ugly. He felt as if there were needles on his back. His whole body felt uncomfortable.
However, he understood that once he left, he would not have a chance to return again.
Therefore...
Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, Mu Ling's knees slowly bent and finally landed on the ground.
With a 'thud', his knees seemed to also knock into everyone's heart.
"Father, I was wrong. I beg you, considering the fact that I was being kept in the dark by Chen Qingyan, forgive me this once."
Mu Ling's tears were streaming down his face as he looked like he was in great pain. Even his voice had an uncontrollable trembling.
It was the first time Old Master Mu had witnessed Mu Ling in such a state. He looked at him as he sighed gently. "You do not need to say sorry to me. The ones you should be sorry to are Suyi and Nan Xian, the mother and son pair, as well as the little girl, Xiao Qing. You have never done anything wrong to me. To forgive you or not is not in my hands.
"You yourself had made such a mistake. Then, you need to have the courage to face it and not just blindly admit your mistakes to me! Which part exactly is it of Xiao Qing that is not good? Why do you keep insisting on finding other women for Nan Xian? And you even used dirty tricks to render her infertile!"
Old Master Mu became more and more upset as he spoke. The longer Mu Ling lived, the more foolish he was becoming. He was actually being kept in the dark by Chen Qingyan to such an extent.
Mu Ling slowly closed his eyes as his handsome face went pale. It was as if he had lost all his strength in that instant.
After quite some time...
He finally opened his eyes and looked at Suyi.
So many times, he could not help but wish that things could be the same as they were in the past... holding her hands and telling her about his revenge.
Each time, Suyi would comfort him seriously.
Even though his father had always said that he was incapable, Suyi believed that he could take care of the Mu family well.
In order to make his father more assured of leaving the Mu family to him, Suyi had helped him to manage the Mu family. During the years when she was around, the Mu family were always expanding and was doing well. The spirit herb storage had also never suffered losses.
Now, when he retrospected on everything...
Suyi had really helped him too much.
However, what did he do?
He had actually personally chased away the woman who loved him the most.
"I'm sorry..." The corner of Mu Ling's lips trembled as he clenched his fists tightly. Only by doing so could he muster the courage to face Suyi. "I will spend the rest of my life to make it up to you."
Suyi smiled indifferently. "There is no need. I have already let go of all the things of the past. Now, you only owe Nan Xian and Qing'er. However, Qing'er does not have the time to be too calculative with you now. She has other more important things to do."
When Mu Ling knelt in front of Old Master Mu, Feng Ruqing had already quietly left.
To her, it was more important to look for Nan Xian now. Naturally, she was not bothered by Mu Ling who was unimportant to her.
Mu Ling's eyelids dropped to hide the sadness in his eyes.
Perhaps from the moment, he had decided to tear apart Nan Xian and Feng Ruqing, Suyi had decided to never forgive him...
Feng Ruqing had long left quietly.
The other people naturally did not pay any attention to Mu Ling.
Feng Tianyu and Nalan Yan took the lead to walk into Mu Residence. Taking into consideration Old Master Mu, they did not deal with Mu Ling. Otherwise, with Feng Tianyu's temper, Mu Ling would have long been cut into a thousand pieces.
Of course, to Mu Ling, staying alive was definitely more painful to him than being dead. However, he did not have the courage to kill himself.
Chapter 1274: A Lifetime of Pain II
As such, they just let him live to carry the guilt for the rest of his life. Let him carry the pain of being abandoned by his wife and child as well as being betrayed by everyone and all his relatives leaving him!
***
In Tian Shen Manor, everything was silent and peaceful.
Especially in the Luo family, it was quiet and felt different from the usual.
The current master of the Luo family had his arm circled around a beautiful concubine as he drank and talked happily with other people.
He did not know of the Qin family's destruction and was only feeling happy being promoted to the Luo family's master.
Just at this moment...
Thud!
The door of the Luo family was kicked open. The sound was very loud, scaring Luo Xiang so much that the wine cup in his hand had almost dropped to the ground.
He was a little annoyed when he looked up. "Who is it that coming to seek death again—"
In the next moment, all the noise around quietened.
The wine cup in his hand instantly slipped to the floor and shattered into pieces.
Cold sweat was dripping from his forehead. Even his back was drenched. The beads of sweat stuck to his skin.
At the moment, he could not be bothered about anything else. He quickly pushed the beautiful concubine in his hand away and immediately stood up. He was clearly frightened.
"Mas... Master? How come you have returned?"
Standing at the door was, surprisingly, Luo Fei who had been rescued by Gu Shi.
It was also because Luo Fei had been rescued that Feng Ruqing did not protect Luo Li and had brought her back. The Luo family's matters should naturally be solved by Luo Fei himself.
As such, when Luo Fei's injuries had more or less recovered, he brought Luo Li and the old lady back to the Luo family.
Luo Li pursed her lips from the beginning to the end as the little fox cuddled in her arms. However, the gaze she used to look at Luo Xiang was full of anger.
"Why?" Luo Fei sneered. "Are you very disappointed that I did not die in the Qin family?"
More sweat started to pour down Luo Xiang's forehead. He raised his hand to wipe off the sweat, but no matter how he wiped, he was unable to wipe his sweat away.
"And the rest of you!" Luo Fei glanced coldly at the group of Luo family's people who were drinking and enjoying themselves in the hall. "Back then, I had treated all of you genuinely, but the moment something happened to me, all of you bullied my mother and my daughter, and have even beat up my daughter to such an extent!"
Whenever he saw the frightening scars on Luo Li's arms, the anger in Luo Fei's heart was sufficient to swallow these people whole.
All these were his Luo family's people.
They were people he had nurtured single-handedly, people who existed to protect the Luo family.
Now, he was only just taken away by Qin Li, but they already felt that he had already met his end and had actually treated his Li'er like that!
He could not imagine if Maiden Feng had not return...
What would have awaited Li'er?
"Mas, Master... You have misunderstood. I... I was only..." Luo Xiang's lips were trembling and his face was pale. However, he was still unable to say a single word in the end.
Misunderstood?
What did he misunderstand?
He had indeed chased out Luo Li and Old Madam. Similarly... the wounds on Luo Li were his doing.
Luo Fei was not a fool. He would not believe him without a doubt just because of a few words.
Wait!
Suddenly, Luo Xiang seemed to have thought of something as he suddenly raised his head and glared at Luo Fei.
Was he not taken away by the Qin family? Then, how did he manage to return...
"All of you are keen to know how my son is able to return?" the old lady saw through Luo Xiang's thinking at a glance and she said slowly, "It is because Qin Li is already taken away by the manor master. The Qin family is no more. Qin Fei'er is also missing! All of you have tried to climb up to power by relying on the Qin family and have chased us, grandparent and grandchild, out of the house by force. Now, it seems like karma is biting back, retribution is here!"
She would never forget how she, an old lady who was so close to stepping into her grave, was chased out of the Luo family humiliatingly!
Chapter 1275: A Lifetime of Pain III
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Now, she had returned together with Luo Fei to personally witness these people, who had been personally groomed by her husband and son, pay the price of their selfishness!
"Luo Fei, I want this group of people to leave the Luo family!"
Luo Xiang's face changed as panic flashed in his eyes. "Old Lady, back then it was Qin Li who had forced me to do so. I know my mistake, I really know my mistake... I beg you, don't kick me out."
The reclusive world was different from the secular world.
In the secular world, if one were to be kicked out of the family clan, there was always another path for them.
However, in the reclusive world, it was not the same.
The reclusive world was incredibly dangerous.
Unless one had strong powers, otherwise, without a family clan protecting and supporting them, surviving would be incredibly difficult.
Furthermore...
Luo Fei was one of Gu Shi's men.
However, he had stood on Qin Li's side in this battle.
In the whole reclusive world, besides the Divine Herbs Sect and Deities Gate, these kinds of powers, there were no other people who would accept him. Furthermore, perhaps in order to obtain the favor of Tian Shen Manor, this group of people would presumptuously humiliate and harm them!
As for the Divine Herbs Sect and Deities Gate...
Heh! To these powers, he had no innate talent and he was no longer young, how would they possibly accept him?
"Luo Fei, give them a good beating and kick them out!"
Old Lady Luo's face was solemn. "I do not wish to see them leave in pristine condition! If they do not leave behind a little something, they cannot leave at all!"
"Grandmother," Luo Li said while staring angrily at Luo Xiang, "The others can be beaten and kicked out of the family clan, and we should also tell the whole world that if anyone dares to accept these traitors, they are making us, the Luo family, their enemies! As well as enemies of Xiao Qing!"
When she had left the chief manor, she had met Feng Ruqing who was there to meet Gu Shi.
Xiao Qing had told her that she could do whatever she wanted without worry as she would back her up.
Yes, this feeling of being protected by others was really good...
Therefore, Luo Li had presumptuously used Feng Ruqing's name.
Those people were not afraid of the Luo family, but they would be afraid of Xiao Qing, right? They should blame her for being narrow-minded. Women have always been quite petty. She did not wish for these traitors to live well!
"However, Luo Xiang had almost killed my little fox. He cannot leave just after a beating. He has to be beaten until he is half dead with only a breath away from death. Then, throw him out and let him live or die on his own. If he is lucky, perhaps he would survive. If he is unlucky, then he can't blame it on others."
Her little fox was also lucky that Feng Ruqing had so coincidentally returned.
If it were not so... she and little fox would most likely be separated by life and death by now.
The moment she thought about it, Luo Li felt her heart clenching in pain.
She had really almost lost her little fox forever...
Therefore, she needed to repay a tooth with a tooth. How Luo Xiang had treated her little fox, she would treat him in the same way!
Hearing Luo Li's words, Luo Xiang's body went limp as he crumbled to the ground. He understood that he was really done for this time...
***
In the chief manor.
On top of the back mountain.
Gu Shi sat in a daze on the fake rock mountain. His gaze was still on the barrier, unable to move his eyes away.
He had only regained his sense a little when he heard footsteps from behind him. He turned around to look at the person approaching him.
Seeing the young maiden who was approaching him, he forced the corner of his lips into a smile.
"Maiden Feng, I have waited for you for a long time..."
"Alright." Feng Ruqing slowly walked to Gu Shi. "I know I exited with your assistance. However, Gu Yiyi and Nan Xian did not follow me out. Do you have any way to let me enter once again? I will find a way to bring them out."
Chapter 1276: Destroying Fang Zhu Mainland I
"Unless they exit on their own, otherwise... it would be a little difficult. If Maiden Feng wishes to re-enter, it would also not be so easy." Gu Shi laughed bitterly as he shook his head. He looked on straight ahead as his eyes contained worry.
Originally he had thought that Yiyi would also be following her back. However, in the end, he was still unable to see her...
"Maiden Feng, the barrier on the outside has been destroyed, but the barrier on the inside has the ability to auto-regenerate."
That was to say, Feng Ruqing had destroyed the barrier to leave, but once she left Fang Zhu Mainland, the barrier would naturally be regenerated. It might even be that... Fang Zhu Mainland thought that its own barrier was not strong enough and had become even tougher so that it would be more difficult to break again.
If Yiyi wished to return, it would be even more difficult than before.
Feng Ruqing raised her brow as she asked calmly, "Then... What if we were to make Fang Zhu Mainland disappear?"
Gu Shi's heart trembled as he looked at her in astonishment. "What did you just say?"
"If Fang Zhu Mainland completely disappears, will they return?"
She would not forget that Nan Xian was still dealing with a strong savage beast at the moment.
Only when she had thoroughly destroyed Fang Zhu Mainland could Nan Xian return!
Otherwise, she was afraid that even Nan Xian would find it difficult to leave the barrier area...
"You want to destroy Fang Zhu Mainland?" Gu Shi stared at Feng Ruqing. "Do you know what you are saying?"
Feng Ruqing sneered. "Why can't I destroy it? Fang Zhu Mainland is not even supposed to exist in this world. If I destroy it, not only is Nan Xian able to return. Even those spirit beasts would be able to escape that world."
Gu Shi's heart shook strongly. He was only able to slowly regain his senses after a while.
"Fang Zhu Mainland was created by a strong cultivator back then. She had put everyone who had offended her back then in Fang Zhu Mainland and ordered the spirit beasts to volunteer to go to Fang Zhu Mainland and suppress those criminals."
"Maiden Feng, it is not that I am looking down on you, but to destroy the place that that person has left behind is really too difficult... In this current world, I'm afraid that not many people would be able to do so."
Feng Ruqing had managed to leave Fang Zhu Mainland because he was helping her from the outside. Not to mention destroying Fang Zhu Mainland.
Gu Shi was not looking down on Feng Ruqing... It was merely a fact that this matter was a little too unbelievable! Regardless of how much he believed in Feng Ruqing's abilities and cultivation, he could not believe that she could do this...
Feng Ruqing slowly walked in the direction of the back mountain.
"The things I could not do inside does not mean that I cannot do them when I am out here. Since one has to go through the chief manor to enter Fang Zhu Mainland, then it proves that... the heart of the array is definitely hidden in the chief manor. Perhaps it is somehow related to the chief manor."
Every space was created with an array. Of course, one also needed to have sufficient cultivation to open up space.
Then, why was it that in order to reach Fang Zhu Mainland, one had to come to the chief manor?
She did not believe that these two matters were unrelated...
"Therefore..." Feng Ruqing paused. "I do not need to destroy Fang Zhu Mainland, I just need to destroy this back mountain!"
Astonishment could be seen in Gu Shi's eyes.
Feng Ruqing's words were... too logical...
Why was it that throughout this whole year, he had never thought of this?
Instead, he was standing guard, blindly waiting for them to exit on their own?
Strong spiritual qi started to gather into a storm surrounding Feng Ruqing, like a hurricane. Her red clothes flapped in the wind, beautiful and magnificent.
Chapter 1277: Destroying Fang Zhu Mainland II
Fang Zhu Mainland.
Forbidden Mountain.
The gale was blowing like a storm.
Nan Xian was fully dressed in white, handsome like an immortal. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his lips, but his gaze remained indifferent.
Even when he was facing such a fierce and violent savage beast, his white shirt was still floating in the wind and not a speck of dust could be seen.
The savage beast let out a fierce roar as it instantly rushed toward Nan Xian. Its teeth were incisive and its claws were also razor-sharp. Like a sharp sword flashing, it flashed toward Nan Xian...
At the same time.
Compared to the dangerous forbidden mountain, Tianyue Kingdom was much quieter.
Perhaps it was because the wolfhound had saved the human child back then, the people of Tianyue Kingdom did not fear the spirit beasts but rather became friendlier toward them.
Indeed, their ancestors had done wrong, but it did not mean that the descendants of those ancestors would make the same mistakes.
Back then, they had blindly believed the rumors of the imperial family left behind. That was why they had hated the spirit beasts.
However, when they interacted with the spirit beasts, they realized that they were actually so cute...
With Feng Ruqing's hand in this, the wolfhound had broken through to become a Tier-7 spirit beast. It had ultimate power in Tianyue Kingdom.
However...
Although the word 'wolfhound' still had the word 'wolf' in it, it was still very different from an actual wolf.
Wolves are proud and elegant.
But dogs... can never change their inherent slaving nature.
It would never put itself first and look down on humans.
It would never forget the person who had taken it in, even though it was still chased out in the end.
***
In a small town outside the imperial city.
A group of children was squatting by the ground, playing with mud. Their bodies were dirty and even their clothes were a little torn and worn.
Little Doggy stood nearby, looking at these children. Finally, its gaze landed on a somewhat familiar little face.
Compared to the children who had dirt on their faces, this little male doll was comparatively much cleaner.
Actually, it also did not know why it had returned.
Perhaps it was just not resigned...
Not resigned that it had been abandoned, and even more so thought that they had abandoned him because they had no choice.
However...
Seeing the little male doll's tattered and dirty clothes playing with the mud on the ground, Little Doggy was a little confused. Its eyes also looked lost.
Even if it was dirty, it was still cleaner than the mud.
Why did the master's wife complain that it was dirty and chased it out but... let him play with the mud?
Little Doggy did not say a word but quietly stood by the side. From the beginning to the end, its gaze never left the little male doll.
The moment it returned to its hometown, it could recognize him at a glance.
After all... he looked very much alike to his previous master when he was young and it had followed its previous master since young. Naturally, his looks were carved in his mind.
As for why he was considered a previous master... it was because he already had Feng Ruqing now.
It was just not resigned in its heart, so it had decided to return to its hometown!
Let it... take another look at the people who it had never forgotten!
The little boy seemed to be in an argument with his fellow playmates. He stumbled and fell to the ground when he was pushed by his fellow playmates as tears started to flow down his cheeks.
When the wolfhound saw this scene, a hint of anger flashed in its eyes. Its body became a flash of lightning as it instantly dashed over.
Just as the fellow playmates were about to hit the little boy again, it let out a low warning growl.
Those kids were suddenly scared. With the wolfhound's growl, they were so scared that they fell onto their butts and started crying before turning around and running away.
"Little... dog?" The little boy had already stopped crying. He raised his little head and looked at the wolfhound unblinkingly.
Chapter 1278: Destroying Fang Zhu Mainland III
The wolfhound was larger than the little boy and it needed to lower its head to see him.
Dogs are naturally gentle toward children. What more a wolfhound who was already a domesticated spirit beast.
However, the wolfhound did not speak, fearful that it would scare him.
It used its head to wipe the little boy's tears as if silently comforting him.
Indeed, the little boy stopped crying and started to laugh, using his small hands to pat the wolfhound's head.
However...
Just as the wolfhound was about to help the little boy up, a hateful voice spoke from behind.
"Where did this dog come from? Stay further away from my grandchild!"
This voice... could not be more familiar to the wolfhound.
Its big body also stiffened as it turned its head around to look, somewhat stunned. It saw an old woman running over with a broom in her hands as she angrily shouted, "Quickly get lost! Otherwise, I will beat you to death today!"
After the old woman had finished speaking, she lowered her head to look at the little boy and picked him up from the ground.
"You want to bring back a stray again? These dogs are too dirty. Keeping dogs will cause diseases! That year when I was pregnant with your father, I had forced your grandfather to kick his dog out. I will definitely not allow any dog into my house, in case we contract any diseases."
"But, Big Doggy protected me..." the little boy was a little reluctant.
"These kind of things are too dirty! If you dare to bring it back, I will beat it to death! Back then, I had also said the same thing to your grandfather. That is why he had kicked that dog out back then! Could it be that you wish to follow your grandfather's path?"
The old woman scolded angrily.
The wolfhound looked at the old woman, stunned. Then, it looked at the little boy who was in her arms.
Oh... it turned out he was not his previous master's son, but rather, his grandson.
That was possible too... it had already been so many years. His children would have already gotten married and had their own children.
However, its previous master's wife... still looked at it with hatred, just like in the past.
Could it be that it was even dirtier than... mud?
The wolfhound was a little perplexed by human thinking.
It also did not bother to think more as it shook its head and turned around to leave.
This time it had come back just to take a look at these people and also wished to... thoroughly bid farewell to its past.
After it saw these, it suddenly understood.
Now, it had friends, a master, and the many people who liked it in Tianyue Kingdom. It was no longer a lonely stray dog.
"That's enough. Why are you being calculative with a child?" An old man walked out from behind her, frowning. The moment he raised his head, he saw the wolfhound's back. His pupils suddenly contracted. "Ah Huang?"
Alike...
Too alike to his Ah Huang.
Even that black patch of fur on its butt was exactly the same as Ah Huang's!
"What Ah Huang? It has already been more than twenty years. Ah Huang has long been in the ground." The old lady sneered. "It is just a dog. Do you need to think of it for over twenty years? Even every dog that looks like it?"
"You shut up!" the old man shouted in rage. "If it was not for you scaring my mother, saying Ah Huang was too dirty and would affect our child, would my mother have forced me to chase away Ah Huang? You have even threatened me that you would find a chance to beat Ah Huang to death when I am not around. If it were not for you two, I would not have chased it away back then!"
"Everything I said is the truth. You do not even bother to take a look at how dirty dogs are! If my grandchild got sick because of it, what will we do? It is just a dog, could it be that it is not even as important as a person in your heart?"
"You..."
The old man was so angry that he could not even speak.
The wolfhound did not turn back.
Even though the person behind it was someone it had missed for a long time.
Chapter 1279: Sky Falling, Earth Cracking I
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The ground suddenly started to tremble.
It was as if the surface of the ground was moving and the mountains were shaking. The sky was falling and the earth was cracking.
Together with the shrill sharp screaming, it was so ear-piercing...
The old woman stumbled and the little boy in her hands rolled out of her arms.
She had just climbed back up when she saw that an old tree by the roadside was falling, inclining toward the little boy...
At that moment, the old woman's eye rims were red as she shouted loudly, "My grandson!"
The little boy's eyes were a little blurred. He did not know how to escape as he looked at the tree that was falling toward him in a daze...
The old woman almost lost her consciousness. Her whole body was trembling.
However, the little boy had rolled quite a distance away, and with their strength as two old people, it was entirely impossible for them to be able to rush over in time.
She could only watch the old tree falling toward the little boy.
Just at this moment—
A gale swept past them from the side.
When the old woman and old man raised their heads to see, they saw a yellow light like a flash of lightning, rushing toward the little boy at high speed.
It used its warm embrace to protect the little boy.
Thud!
The old tree was falling toward the wolfhound, but before it had managed to smash down, it was split into two by the wolfhound's spiritual power. The tree fell to the ground in two halves.
***
The old woman was stunned. She stared at the wolfhound who had rushed to protect the little boy in its embrace in a daze. A surge of shame rose from her heart, rendering her speechless for a long time...
"You..." the old man looked at the wolfhound at a loss. After a while, he finally opened his mouth to ask, "Are you... Ah Huang?"
The wolfhound did not speak. It put down the little boy from its embrace. From the beginning to the end, it did not once turn to look at the old man. It turned around and planned to return to the imperial city.
"Big Doggy."
The little boy held onto the wolfhound's paw with tears gathering in his eyes. "Don't leave."
The wolfhound looked at the little boy.
Perhaps it was because the boy looked innocent and somewhat ignorant, it recalled the happy days during its childhood, so its gaze had also softened quite a bit. It used its paw to pat the little boy's head but still left determinedly.
After all, the moment it had left this family back then, it no longer belonged to this place.
Not to mention... now, it already had a new master.
"Ah Huang..." the old man looked at the leaving wolfhound whilst shaking. He stumbled as his eyes were glistening with tears. "Where are you going, Ah Huang? Back then, when you left the house, where did you go? I could not find you all this while..."
Back then, after he had kicked out Ah Huang, he regretted his decision and wanted to bring it back. However, he had searched in many places and asked many people, but he was still unable to find it...
He had originally thought that their fate had thus ended. He never thought that he could see it again in this lifetime.
The wolfhound stopped in its tracks for a moment before continuing to walk toward the exit of the small town.
At this moment, the ground was still shaking.
Even the sky had traces of crumbling and cracking.
A troop of Tianyue Kingdom's soldiers walked over and stood before the wolfhound, respectfully saying, "Lord Hound, we have finally found you. Now that Fang Zhu Mainland is undergoing changes, we would like to invite Lord Hound to go to the manor of the town head to take shelter."
There was hearsay, a weird monster that swallowed the heavens and destroyed the earths had come to the Fang Zhu Mainland. Just now, the ground beneath the people's feet had disappeared. Even the people had disappeared along with it...
The town head's manor should be considered a safer place.
Lord Hound was the only Tier-7 spirit beast now. They had to ensure its safety.

"Alright..." the wolfhound seemed to be out of it. Even its voice sounded a little weak. Perhaps it had thought of something as its footsteps halted and with his back toward the old man who was chasing after him, he said, "I am not Ah Huang. My name is Little Doggy."
It had thoroughly let go of its past.
From today onward, it only had one master!
The old man stopped. Not knowing when his old tears had already covered his whole old face.
This time, he did not continue to pursue the wolfhound but quietly watched the soldiers lead it away as he raised his hand to wipe the corner of his eyes.
"It seems like Ah Huang... is living quite well."
If so, he could also rest assured...
The old woman looked around for a moment. "Old Man, just now, Ah Huang... did it open its mouth to speak? And those soldiers seemed to be very respectful toward it..."
They were all Tianyue Kingdom's people. Not long ago, the old woman had heard that a Tier-7 wolfhound had entered the imperial city of Tianyue Kingdom and that the wolfhound could speak the human language. It had also received the respect of many people.
If... that wolfhound was Ah Huang, then it was enough to prove how Ah Huang could have lived for so many years.
A spirit beast was different from an ordinary dog.
As a spirit beast... it naturally could extend its lifespan.
"Ah Huang is living a good life now, there is no need for us to disturb it."
The old man let out a bitter laugh. Back then, they had decided to abandon it. Now, what right did they have to seek connections with it?
He had lived this life carrying the guilt of letting it down. Now that he knew it was living a good life, he also felt a little better...
"Grandmother."
The little boy felt the ground shaking and he was so scared that he hugged the old woman's thigh. Fear was as visible as the day in his eyes.
However, this was merely the beginning...
It was obviously just mid-day, but... the sky had gradually turned dark.
It was as if the world was coming to an end.
The whole Fang Zhu Mainland was in a similar state. The sky was falling and the earth was cracking. Darkness enshrouded the whole place.
***
At the forbidden hill.
Under the attack of the strong and fierce savage beast, Nan Xian took a few steps back. However, not a speck of dust could be seen on his robe and he looked as clean as he was in the beginning.
However...
Just as the savage beast was about to leap forward, the ground beneath it suddenly trembled. All strength left its body as it fell to the ground with a thud.
Seeing how lost the other people were, a hint of panic flashed in the savage beast's cruel eyes.
Within the panic, there was also despair.
Since it was forcefully locked away in Fang Zhu Mainland, its strength had already integrated with Fang Zhu Mainland.
If Fang Zhu Mainland existed, then it would exist. If Fang Zhu Mainland vanished, then its strength would also be gone.
However, why... did it feel that Fang Zhu Mainland was slowly disappearing?
The Ninth Emperor!
It was that death-deserving bastard again. This was definitely her 'work'!
Back then, all it did was destroy a city. That bastard had bound it here. Now, she was actually planning to annihilate it!
The savage beast was so angry that its huge body was shaking. Yet, its gaze could no longer get fierce...
It was like a languished little kitten on the ground, shaking and trembling.
"Nan Xian..."
Mu Qingyin slowly walked to Nan Xian's side. His gaze was cold. "What is happening?"
Nan Xian raised his eyes as a faint smile appeared on his handsome face that looked like an immortal.
So faint, so warm, like a gentle breeze.
"It should be Qing'er..."
"Qing'er?"
"Yes. Just get ready for a bit. We can finally return to Tian Shen Manor."
Rumble!
The whole ground was swallowed by Nan Xian's words as all of them fell into a flash of darkness instantly.
It was so dark... like there was no end to it.
