Chapter 916: The Unfilial Daughter
Confused, Ye Fei followed Hua Hua into the vortex.
After emerging from the vortex, she keenly detected a trace of spiritual energy in the air that felt strangely familiar to her—
This is... the spiritual scent of the Wood Immortal Spring!
Ye Fei raised her eyes and looked at the scene before her—lush trees, blooming flowers, and verdant vegetation growing freely in this area.
Various aquatic plants grow in the clear spring pool, and rich spiritual energy floats in the air.
Ye Fei took a deep breath and realized—this was the place longed for by countless wood-type spirit beasts, the place protected by Hua Hua, the Wood Immortal Spring.
Does Hua Hua's sudden visit to Muxianquan mean that her mother lives here?
Ye Fei felt excited at the thought of seeing her mother soon.
“Master, this is my guardian place, the Wood Immortal Spring,” Hua Hua said calmly. “Jiang Xun has been here all these years and has never left.”
Ye Fei nodded, a smile she couldn't hide on her lips: "Yes, Hua Hua, let's go quickly. I want to... see my mother as soon as possible."
Hua Hua didn't say anything more and started walking forward.
Ye Fei followed behind Hua Hua, her gaze sweeping around. For some reason, she felt that the road seemed a little too long.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, Hua Hua stopped and said softly, "Master, we've arrived."
Ye Fei circled around from behind Hua Hua to stand in front of her, but the sight before her made her eyes widen in surprise—
The woman who resembled her, as expected, did not appear.
Before me stood only a blue stone tombstone beneath a towering tree.
On the tombstone, there is a line of text that is clearly carved over many years:
The tomb of Jiang Xun, the eldest daughter of the Tang family.
Ye Fei stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the words on the tombstone, her mind a complete blank.
Hua Hua glanced at the contractor's expression, then took a few steps forward, brushed away the leaves that had fallen on the tombstone, and said softly, "Jiang Xun, this is your biological daughter. I can finally put my mind at ease and bring her to see you."
"As you can see, she is now a powerful Spirit Saint. She has inherited many of your virtues, and you will be gratified in heaven."
...
Ye Fei's hands were trembling.
After a long while, she suppressed her grief, gritted her teeth, and glared at Hua Hua: "Why..."
Hua Hua paused for a moment, then said softly, "Back then, she was being hunted down by the Holy Cult while pregnant with you. However, after giving birth to you, she fell seriously ill due to exhaustion."
"Ironically, as a healer, she couldn't heal herself. Before she died, the person she most wanted to see was you, but you had already been taken away by the Ye family... In the end, she died with resentment."
“I brought her remains to Muxianquan and personally erected a tombstone for her. I swore to the tombstone that one day I would bring her daughter here to see her.”
Hua Hua looked at Ye Fei, her eyes reddening and brimming with tears: "This day has finally come..."
Ye Fei took a deep breath.
The dearest person she had missed for so long had already left this world.
Hatred, grief, helplessness, despair... all sorts of emotions enveloped Ye Fei, making her heart ache terribly, and she could hardly breathe.
Ye Fei flicked her robes and knelt heavily before the tombstone with a thud, her trembling hands stroking the inscription on it.
"Mother, your daughter is unfilial... I've come too late..."
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
The girl hugged the tombstone tightly, her forehead pressed against it, her eyes closed.
Moist tears slid down the tombstone.
