"Xianya, do you still remember the dream I told you about before?" Qi Chengshuo asked.

"I remember," Ye Xianya nodded.

Qi Chengshuo only told her about one dream, in which he was deep in an icy palace and was pierced through the heart by an arrow from a woman in blue. In the dream, the woman called him Shuo'er and referred to herself as her mother.

"The woman you saw today is not my mother, but the woman from my dream, she..."

Before Qi Chengshuo could finish speaking, Lan Chenyin appeared in front of the two of them. With a wave of her hand, she sent Ye Xianya back to the palace.

"I told you not to tell anyone about my time in the mortal realm, why didn't you listen?" Lan Chenyin looked at Qi Chengshuo, her face full of anger.

It's one thing if others don't listen to her, but why doesn't her only son listen to her either?

"That damned girl, is she that important to you? Do you believe I'll kill her?" Lan Chenyin roared, seemingly insane.

Qi Chengshuo frowned slightly upon hearing this: "If she dies, I will not live on alone!"

"You dare threaten me?" Lan Chenyin's eyes widened.

"You didn't tell me that you were a celestial being descended to the mortal realm and that I shouldn't tell anyone. Why can't I tell Xianya?" Qi Chengshuo thought this woman was probably crazy. As a celestial being, didn't she know what she had said and done?

Lan Chenyin was taken aback upon hearing this, and after a moment she murmured to herself, "Didn't I...didn't I say that? I seem to remember telling you that."

"You'd better not threaten me with Xianya. If you dare to lay a finger on her, you can forget about me ever being your son again. Even if I regain my memories of my past life, we will no longer be mother and son!" Qi Chengshuo said coldly.

This woman is too extreme. She gets angry at the drop of a hat and threatens him with the people closest to him all the time.

That's really too much.

Her actions hardly resemble those of a mother.

If it weren't for his memory of that scene from his past life, Qi Chengshuo would definitely think she was there to harm him.

He originally wanted to play the coward and endure it, since he couldn't beat this woman.

But she kept doing it, and he really couldn't stand it anymore.

"Shuo'er, I haven't told you about your identity yet, have I? Once you know who you were in your past life and what you will gain after returning to your divine position, you won't care about a mortal who hasn't ascended yet. The fairies of the celestial realm and the goddesses of the divine realm are far superior to her," Lan Chenyin said hurriedly.

"You don't need to tell me anymore. No matter who I was in my past life, I am Qi Chengshuo now. I don't want to know about everything that happened before. Besides... Xianya was originally able to ascend. If this path to ascension is really blocked because of me, then I am the one who harmed her."

Qi Chengshuo said with a serious expression, "Of course we should make it up to you properly!"

If Xianya had ascended to heaven successfully more than fifty years ago, they might not have had this kind of fate together.

"I was born nineteen years ago, so why was the path to ascension blocked more than fifty years ago?" Qi Chengshuo frowned and asked.

"The flow of time is different in Heaven and on Earth. One day in Heaven is equivalent to one year on Earth. After your accident, I sent someone to tell your father about it and asked him for a precious treasure to save your life. Because we waited for some time, you were able to reincarnate successfully nineteen years ago." This time, Lan Chenyin did not get angry and told him what had happened back then.

“The flow of time is different!” Qi Chengshuo nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"Shuo'er, I am your mother, how could I possibly harm you? The scene in your dream was indeed real, I pierced your heart with the divine sword, but I did this... truly for your own good. Your father obtained a great treasure, and you have several brothers. If I weren't ruthless, how could he bear to use it to save you?"

Lan Chenyin laughed as she spoke, a hint of madness on her face: "That woman Yunluo couldn't bear to harm her own son, but I gritted my teeth and gave you a sword strike, so... your father took out that precious treasure to save your life, but unfortunately he gave it to you a little too late. At that time, you were seriously injured and your soul was about to dissipate, so your mother had no choice but to send you down to the mortal realm to be reincarnated."

Qi Chengshuo looked at her upon hearing this, but remained silent.

The so-called treasure must be the one that is fused with his heart, which is why he has such great power now.

"With this treasure, and given your already formidable strength, no less than your brothers, once you return to your divine position, you will undoubtedly be far stronger than them. Everything your father had will naturally be yours to inherit, and Yunluo and her sons will have to step aside!" Lan Chenyin said with a smile.

"Do immortals also have three wives and four concubines?" Qi Chengshuo guessed that Lan Chenyin must be a concubine, otherwise she wouldn't have been so resentful in her words.

“No, in the realm of immortals and gods, no one has three wives and four concubines. However… some immortals are not faithful to one man. For example, your father and I. He betrayed me and got together with that bitch Yunluo. He relied on his high status and strength to force me to separate from him and then married Yunluo.” Lan Chenyin’s eyes were full of hatred as she spoke of this matter.

Immortals are different from mortals; they don't have the concept of divorcing their wives, only of amicable separation.

“He abandoned my son and me for that bitch Yunluo.” Lan Chenyin clenched her fists tightly. “I swore that I would make those two pay the price. Even if it takes tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, I can wait. One day, I will make them lose everything.”

"So... in my past life, I became your tool for revenge! You ruthlessly stabbed me so that that man would use a precious treasure to save my life, and then... you would let me defeat him and trample them underfoot, right?" Qi Chengshuo said.

"Shouldn't it be like this? He heartlessly abandoned us, mother and son, so this is the end he deserves!" Lan Chenyin said through gritted teeth.

Qi Chengshuo was about to speak when he heard Lan Chenyin's voice again.

“Son, you haven’t regained your memories yet, so of course you don’t know how difficult things were for us, how heartless your father was, or how hateful that bitch Yunluo was.” Lan Chenyin said, a smile suddenly appearing on her face: “Chengshuo, once you return to your divine position and remember your past life, you won’t resent your mother anymore. Everything your mother did was for your own good!”

"If he were truly as heartless and ruthless as you say, he wouldn't have used this treasure to save my life," Qi Chengshuo said calmly. Although he couldn't remember what happened in his past life, he still had his judgment.

Even if this woman really was his mother in a past life, he wouldn't really trust her.

Does a heartless person who killed him really care about his son?

The so-called reasons are nothing but excuses.

Lan Chenyin had anticipated her son's response and said after a moment, "Your father, who is in charge of the divine realm, is extremely concerned about his reputation. He was afraid that the gods in heaven would laugh at him. He only gave you that precious treasure because of the pressure. He did this simply to tell the gods in the upper realm that he, as their father, is not a heartless and ungrateful person. He is the most hypocritical person."
