Chapter 16 016 Male Mom, I Want a Male Mom
Ten years ago, she visited the first level of heaven.
At that time, there was a Kuxue Gate in the first heaven, which was considered the most powerful in the first heaven. It usually acted domineeringly at the foot of Mount Sumeru.
The reason why the Kuxue Sect has such a powerful presence is because the Tianchi Sect is backing it up.
Kuxue Sect is considered an outer sect of Tianchi Sect.
One day, the Tianchi Sect received a distress message from the Kuxue Sect and sent disciples to investigate.
Ling Yuyan was one of them.
At that time, Ling Yuyan had just broken through to the Jade Liquid Realm. Because of this breakthrough, it was her first time undertaking a mission that allowed her to kill and get blood on her hands. However, due to her lack of experience, she was merely a follower, simply tagging along to the mission to accumulate merit. Since it was to the foot of Mount Sumeru, no one in the team took this mission seriously, considering it just a minor task.
But when they arrived at the Kuxue Sect, the entire sect had been wiped out.
Snow fell silently on the eaves, on the withered trees, on the corpses, creating a vast expanse of white.
Amidst the pure white, stood a figure in ink.
The other person stood with their hands folded over their back, gently raising their head as if gazing at the sky and the snow.
He was dressed in black, with no other accessories, and his hair was not even tied up. The black sleeves made his hands look unusually pale.
He's like a monster.
The Tianchi Sect disciple who arrived immediately felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn't help but shout loudly, and then brought up the name of the Tianchi Sect again, intending to make the other party realize the gravity of the situation.
As the man turned his head to look back, all the Tianchi Sect disciples present drew their swords and attacked him.
Ling Yuyan was a beat too late. While others were drawing their swords, hers had only been drawn three inches before she fainted.
That was her first time on such a mission. Although she didn't object to killing, she hesitated a little, which is why she was a bit slow.
Perhaps because of this, she was the only one who survived in the entire team.
When she awoke, she was surrounded by corpses; there wasn't a single living person around her.
In an instant, everyone around Ling Yuyan died.
Thinking of the past, Ling Yuyan suddenly felt her mouth go dry and her whole body go cold. Ten years had passed, and she seemed to have forgotten about it, but these old memories suddenly surged into her mind, making her feel a sense of fear.
Later, Ling Yuyan escaped death and reported the matter to the sect. Because the incident was too bizarre, the sect elders even performed a soul-searching technique on her to probe her memories, but they could only prove that what Ling Yuyan said was true.
The matter was not investigated further afterward.
The man was extremely strange and powerful; he might be a demon.
"Demon" is a general term for a type of degenerate, referring to those who have a human form but whose mind and nature are no longer human.
Once a person loses their humanity and commits any horrific act against human nature, a mark of depravity will form on their body.
With the great war just ended, it wouldn't be surprising if some bizarre and inhuman evil creatures emerged. Although the Tianchi Sect had some foundation and was a large sect, it was not one to provoke such evil creatures.
Ling Yuyan was also given a gag order, forbidding her from speaking out.
For some reason, Ling Yuyan suddenly remembered that dark figure in the snow!
At this moment, Shen Zhiwei leaned over and whispered a few words to Yin Wujiu, who turned his head to the side, pretending to listen attentively.
His mind was slightly focused, as if he was deep in thought.
The two figures of Shen Zhiwei and Yin Wujiu joined together, further opening the door to Ling Yuyan's memories.
That year she woke up in the snow, surrounded by corpses.
The snow was deep, and a line of footprints meandered towards the Kuxuemen Mountain Gate.
Just a single, solitary line of footprints.
When the disciples of Tianchi Sect arrived, it had been snowing for quite some time, and since everyone arrived on swords, they certainly didn't leave any footprints.
The murderer, however, walked leisurely away, step by step, the thick, dark blood on the soles of his shoes gradually fading.
He did not use a sword.
As if possessed, Ling Yuyan followed the footprints to the mountain gate.
One set of footprints on the snow turned into two.
The other row of footprints appears more delicate, resembling a woman's footprints in comparison.
A red flower was planted in front of the gate of Kuxuemen Mountain. The woman seemed to be getting impatient. The red flower fell to the ground and was crushed to pieces by her delicate feet.
The woman waited for a while, and then the two left side by side.
Both of them walked with a relaxed gait, neither of them moving quickly.
But the entire Kuxue Sect was slaughtered!
Seeing the two sets of footprints receding into the distance, Ling Yuyan suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. She could no longer restrain herself and hastily drew her magic sword and left.
Even when she was tormented by inner demons, these two bright red footprints would appear in her mind.
The man is Yin Wujiu, and the woman is Shen Zhiwei?
Ling Yuyan felt like she was going crazy, wondering why she had made such a connection out of nowhere.
How is that possible?
Ling Yuyan herself felt it was somewhat absurd, but then she remembered something else.
At that time, the Tianchi Sect also investigated some matters, such as what enemies the exterminated Kuxue Sect had, and recorded the results of their investigation in the dossier.
This investigation revealed that the actions of the Kuxue Sect at the foot of Mount Sumeru were too numerous to recount.
The Bixia Sect and the Kuxue Sect had a feud. At that time, the Bixia Sect only had a handful of members left, but there was still Zhou Xuening, the daughter of the former sect leader.
The former sect leader had a biological daughter, yet he still passed the position to Shen Zhiwei because his daughter was not as capable as his direct disciples, so he appointed the virtuous and capable.
The former sect leader died in a beast tide, entrusting his orphan to Shen Zhiwei on his deathbed.
However, Zhou Xuening died at the hands of the disciples of the Kuxue Sect.
At that time, Ling Yuyan was browsing the files and didn't pay much attention to this matter, because the Bixia Sect didn't seem capable of taking revenge. Besides, the Kuxue Sect had done too many inhuman things, so this matter of the Bixia Sect seemed insignificant.
However, based on the basic principle that cultivators in the Jade Liquid Realm have a photographic memory, Ling Yuyan still remembered this matter.
This imaginary interpretation even created a logical chain, and Ling Yuyan felt a growing chill in her heart.
At this moment, Yin Wujiu had already turned around and was looking around. Of course, he wouldn't be so dramatic as to focus on the suspicious Ling Yuyan.
He was looking at Shen Xiaochun.
Yin Wujiu walked over and took out a box of red bean cakes from his magic treasure pouch.
“Didn’t you tell Junior Sister Li that you wanted to eat red bean cakes? I made them myself. I picked out each red bean from Yunchuan and mixed them with purple honey. I didn’t use jade flower honey, so they’re not too sweet. I’ve tasted them and I think they’re better than last time. You said they were a bit too sweet last time.”
Yin Wujiu looked longingly at her: "It's rare for Xiao Chan to come back so soon."
Shen Zhiwei stood speechless, choked with emotion. Xiao Chan had only been gone for two days.
Yin Wujiu looked you up and down and said, "You look a little thinner. I wonder if the other junior cultivators in Tianyuan Prefecture have been bullying you."
Shen Xiaochun: "That's impossible!"
Uncle Yin said she had lost weight, so Shen Xiaochun ate a piece of red bean cake to nourish herself, as that was exactly what she needed.
Seeing Yin Wujiu rambling on and on like a male mother, Ling Yuyan was dumbfounded, and her previous doubts began to waver.
Yin Wujiu cast a spell, and the red bean cake remained warm and fragrant. This small detail showed that Yin Wujiu was both meticulous and considerate.
Shen Xiaochun licked the crumbs from the corner of her lips and said, "I like Uncle Yin the most!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yao secretly gritted her teeth.
That little rascal Shen Xiaochun tells everyone she likes the most; she just said she likes Sister Li Yao the most!
It's infuriating that she actually believed it.
Yin Wujiu was also quite moved and couldn't help but feel deeply touched. He couldn't help but start his old lament: "In the blink of an eye, you've grown up so much and have already left the Bixia Sect to study at Tianyuan Prefecture."
“When you were little, you were so small. Your mother was busy and in poor health, so I got wolf milk and fed you little by little, and sang to you every day to lull you to sleep. Of course, your mother could sing too, but she couldn’t sing as well as I could.”
Shen Xiaochun hurriedly said, "There's no need to talk about what happened ten years ago now."
She's not a child anymore, and there are still so many people watching over her.
Ling Yuyan could no longer resist, and her lips twitched slightly. How could she possibly suspect that this strange flower was the same person from back then?
Inner demons! The inner demons from ten years ago were truly terrifying!
She looked at Shen Zhiwei again. Shen Zhiwei was beautiful, but vulgar. No matter how beautifully she dressed, she always had a mercenary air about her.
Ling Yuyan felt increasingly out of her mind, even suspecting that Shen Zhiwei was the woman who had been casually waiting in the snow for the ruthless tyrant to wipe out her family ten years ago.
Zhe Shuang noticed that Ling Yuyan was slightly lost in thought and didn't say what she was supposed to say. Zhe Shuang coughed heavily without realizing it.
He, as the envoy of the Tianchi Sect, was also a little annoyed. The entire sect was lazy, casual, and relaxed, and not serious at all.
A hint of sinister intent appeared in Zhe Shuang's eyes.
Nan Yulou, of course, did not forget the important matter. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Shi Miaoxue's wrist tightly.
Shi Miaoxue tried to struggle, but Nan Yulou exerted force, so Shi Miaoxue eventually gave in.
This was also within Nan Yulou's expectations.
Nan Yulou was observant, and he had just noticed that Shi Miaoxue was struggling to remove the pendant around her neck, but in the end she did not.
It is clear that although Shi Miaoxue was angry, she was hesitant.
Nan Yulou should seize the opportunity to win over Shi Miaoxue.
Nan Yulou quickly cast a silence spell, speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear: "The sect leader and I must divide the tasks today."
Nan Yulou's tone became domineering: "No matter what, I will not allow you to leave me, Miaoxue, you and I are of the same ilk."
The lines were awkward, but he knew Shi Miaoxue would fall for them.
Shi Miaoxue inherited her mother's business; the Red Lotus Sect was originally passed down from her biological mother. Her mother was a good person, but had a strong personality.
Fortunately, Shi Miaoxue is honest, obedient, and the mother-daughter relationship has always been harmonious.
But after her mother passed away, Shi Miaoxue lost her pillar of support and someone to guide, instruct, and admonish her.
When the two were deeply in love, Shi Miaoxue nestled in Nan Yulou's arms, talking about her family affairs and shedding tears as she reminisced about her deceased mother.
Knowing Shi Miaoxue's past, Nan Yulou was able to manipulate her more skillfully.
Shen Zhiwei immediately understood Nan Yulou's plan and gently gestured to Tian Xiyu.
Tian Xiyu coughed and said, "Sect Leader, it is time to discuss the matter of dividing the sects."
Having someone on your side is great. When Tian Xiyu called out, Shi Miaoxue, who was slightly dazed, suddenly snapped back to reality, as if waking from a dream.
Her heart ached with a bitter and resentful ache, and she couldn't help but wonder if Nan Yulou was only trying to win her over because she needed to divide the spoils.
