Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Mother Is Here, Always Here
"Ah!!!"
A scream of extreme terror echoed at the end of the silent, dark alley.
Li Er was so frightened that he collapsed onto the ground, his face deathly pale, his eyes filled with a horror as if seeing a ghost, and he kept crawling backward with his hands on the ground.
"Monster! It’s a monster!!" He stared in terror at Chen Zhixing standing in the pool of blood, his lips trembling uncontrollably.
Chen Zhixing’s face was calm as he looked at Li Er and asked, "Who sent you?"
"I... I said... will you let me go..."
But before Li Er could finish.
"Forget it, I don’t want to know anymore."
Chen Zhixing shook his head.
Bang—!
Li Er, who was originally crawling backward on the ground, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, and then his Sea of Consciousness dispersed, and he collapsed limply to the ground.
A thin silver needle, as fine as a hair, flashed in the darkness and fell back into Chen Zhixing’s Sea of Consciousness.
The next moment.
Chen Zhixing looked around, and seeing that no one had witnessed the previous scene, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mother’s power should be above that person’s, and without me, she should be able to resolve that person quickly."
The calm look on his face quickly faded, replaced by a frightened and scared expression as he sat on the ground and cried loudly.
What he didn’t know was.
On the flying eaves of a nearby pavilion, a graceful figure was watching this scene intently.
In those beautiful eyes, a flash of astonishment and unusual color appeared.
.....
.....
On the street.
"Zhi’er!!!"
A piercing voice sounded.
Yingy Shuangshuang looked towards the direction in which Chen Zhixing was being taken away, her eyes instantly filled with rage.
She suddenly turned around and rushed towards the alley.
"Where do you think you’re going?"
With a sneer, a figure in black robes suddenly appeared in front of Yingy Shuangshuang.
The black-robed man was playing with a dagger in his hand, squinting as he smiled, "That little brat died here, you and Chen Tianliang must be heartbroken, right?"
Yingy Shuangshuang stopped in her tracks, looked up at the black-robed man, and spat out two words:
"Move aside."
The black-robed man chuckled, "What’s the hurry, collecting a body is the same whether you do it now or later."
"Hehe..."
"Hehehe..."
Suddenly, Yingy Shuangshuang laughed.
At first, it was just a shallow chuckle.
But gradually, the laughter became more and more intense, more and more frenzied!
Finally, it transformed into a horrifying sound wave that was both a cry and a laugh, not like something human!
"Have you gone mad..."
Zhuang Wuxian, hidden beneath a large hood, furrowed his brows, wanting to make a sarcastic comment, but suddenly, as if realizing something, his pupils contracted sharply.
He suddenly looked up.
Only to see Yingy Shuangshuang whose long, jet-black hair had turned into a bewitching white!
Her nails began to grow wildly, becoming sharp and silver-white!
A bewitching red mark appeared on her forehead!
Her previously pale lips turned blood-red in an instant.
Her skin was snow-white and icy cold!
Just by standing there, she exuded a pale coldness filled with a strong sense of danger.
She looked like a lone wolf awakened from its slumber on the Frozen Plateau, finally revealing its fangs to the world.
"Snow Maiden?!!"
In an instant, Zhuang Wuxian’s face changed drastically, and he couldn’t help but gasp.
A sense of warning rapidly flashed through his mind!
"Over the years, no matter how others think I’m useless, how they think I’m reaching for something beyond my grasp with Tianliang, or how the Chen Family looks down on me, I’ve never cared, just trying to play the role of a good wife and mother in front of Tianliang..."
Yingy Shuangshuang spoke softly, as if talking to herself, as if speaking to someone else.
"Tianliang has the reversed illness, we Snow Maidens are also cursed, we were two people who weren’t expected to live long, coming together for warmth..."
"Perhaps it was Heaven’s pity for the two of us, bringing us a child."
"From the moment Zhi’er was born, our lives that had no meaning finally found a new purpose."
"Perhaps even Zhi’er himself doesn’t know that he’s more than just our child; he’s actually a ray of light redeeming our dark lives..."
Zhuang Wuxian’s throat moved, seeming to want to say something, as he nervously moved backward.
"We have nothing in this world, truly belonging to us, except this one child."
"But..."
Yingy Shuangshuang suddenly raised her head, in her eyes that were already filled with blood-red threads like a spider web, an extreme murderous intent surged forth!
The next moment.
A terrifying, low sound emerged from her throat, as if countless voices combined together, a piercing shriek that was not of human origin:
"But why!!!"
"Why do you all want to take away the only light that belongs to us!!!!!"
Boom—!!!
Yingy Shuangshuang moved instantly!
Zhuang Wuxian only felt a blur before his eyes, and Yingy Shuangshuang with her long white hair was already in front of him.
Five pale, cold fingers clamped around his neck, lifting him up forcefully.
The hood covering most of Zhuang Wuxian’s face shattered instantly.
"It’s you?"
Yingy Shuangshuang squinted her eyes, tracing a sickly smile on her face as she pulled Zhuang Wuxian closer with a hand on his neck.
"Hehehe... so that means it was Kuimu who attacked Tianliang? If I remember correctly, everyone in the Kuimu Sect is dead, but you still have many close relatives alive, right?"
"Don’t worry, if Zhi’er dies, Tianliang and I will kill everyone in this world connected to you as a tribute to Zhi’er."
"As for you two, I will carve you into a human swine piece by piece, burning your Spiritual Soul with demonic fire every day."
"Believe me, you will wish for death but find no relief, regretting ever being born in this world."
Zhuang Wuxian’s feet dangled in the air, his face turning crimson.
An unprecedented sense of suffocation engulfed him.
Staring at the demonized Yingy Shuangshuang before him, he felt a tremendous terror between life and death.
A chill ran from his spine to the top of his head, sending shivers through his entire body.
He couldn’t help but tremble all over like a leaf in the wind.
"I....."
He wanted to say that it was Master Kuimu who had roped him in, not the mastermind.
But before he could speak.
Those pale, cold, slender fingers gradually tightened their grip!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The sound of bones being crushed echoed.
Zhuang Wuxian felt a regret that he had never experienced before was born in his heart, wanting to plead for mercy, but Yingy Shuangshuang gave him no chance to speak!
The Divine Travel Power within his body, as vast as a mountain and sea, was completely sealed, unable to be mobilized at all.
At this moment.
"Wah!!!"
A loud cry echoed throughout the street!
"The child!!"
Yingy Shuangshuang suddenly looked up toward the alley, the violence in her eyes rapidly fading, replaced by a deep sense of urgency and concern.
Boom—!!!
Zhuang Wuxian’s head exploded!
And that pale, cold figure had long since vanished, instantly appearing at the end of the alley.
She bent down gently and picked up the child in the pool of blood, holding him in her arms.
"Zhi’er, don’t be afraid."
"Mother is here, always here."
