After Zhang Ziyuan finished instructing, he immediately turned invisible and followed Shuo Yue in.
I immediately heard the sounds coming from within the Wind Catching Ear. At first, I only heard the sound of things quietly moving, but Zhang Ziyuan probably wasn't able to catch up to Shuo Yue yet.
"Mother, mother, where are you? Shuo Yue is here to see you! " Hearing Shuo Yue's voice from inside, I felt a wave of happiness. This is a good thing, even if I'm not with Zhang Ziyuan for the time being, isn't it easier to keep track of his movements than using my phone?!
"Shuo'er, is that really you?" You really came? " The voice belonged to a middle-aged woman and it seemed that she was Shuo Yue's mother, the Fengdu Ghost City Princess. had said that the original name of the princess was Xia Ming and that she had been abandoned by a man when she was alive and sold to a brothel to be humiliated and die miserably by others.He and the Ghost King were originally a couple, and after sharing the same ideals and interests, they established the Fengdu Ghost City together. She didn't expect that Xia Ming would fall in love with a mortal man, and that man also didn't seem to be an ordinary man. This was because Duke Xia Ming's high cultivation had not been discovered, and he had instead given birth to a boy, who was actually Shuo Yue. She did not expect that Shuo Yue's father would actually notice some clues. Although she did not have the heart to kill a young child, there was a difference between humans and ghosts. From then on, Shuo Yue was orphaned without any parents. After the Ghost City grew prosperous, Princess Xia Ming finally remembered that he had a husband and son. Even when he went back to the mortal world, he didn't find anything.
"Mother, it's me. I'm back to see you." Hearing Shuo Yue's voice, she was still very excited. It seemed that he still cared a lot about her mother.
"Shuo'er, did you come by yourself?" I don't know the meaning behind Princess Xia Ming's words, could it be that she was testing him? Or did he think that someone else would follow him?
"Mother, there's only Shuo'er here, and no one else." Shuo Yue denied.
After a moment of silence, Princess Xia Ming's voice sounded again, "Shuo'er, come here and let mother hug you. Mother misses you very much!"
Shuo Yue walked over and hugged Princess Xia Ming, "Mother, I missed you a lot too. After so many years, where did you go after escaping from Fengdu Ghost City?
"Yeah, it's been so many years. Things happened in such a hurry, I didn't even have the time to ask you. Shuo'er, why did you betray us? We're the same kind of people!" It seemed that Princess Xia Ming wanted to force Shuo Yue out of the old debts.
Betrayal was betrayal. No matter what she wanted to say, she could not explain the fact of betrayal. However, Shuo Yue still wanted to explain, he hoped that her mother would not misunderstand him and could understand him.
"Mother, I have been an orphan since I was young. From the moment I started to understand, I could not find where you were. At that time, I often thought, was it because you did not want me anymore? Or are you no longer in this world? When I needed the most love and care, it was rain house who picked me up and brought me home. At that time, she was also very young, around ten years old, and was just an ordinary girl. However, she was still very kind to me, treating me like a little brother. I think that I might not be able to live past now without her … "
Princess Xia Ming interrupted Shuo Yue and said, "Then why don't you join forces with outsiders to deal with your family? Here are your mother, your uncle, and your uncle. Although I gave birth to you and you as a half-ghost when we are mortal, we are still your family! So you want to repay this debt by putting everyone here to death? "
"Mother! That's because Ghost King is too ambitious, I can't help but stop him. He plans to use ghost power to rule this world, you guys are defying the heavens! People say, ghosts say, we are all from different worlds, why are we interfering with each other? " Shuo Yue was also reasonable.
"You're wrong, Shuo'er!" These were not two worlds, but one world. A great world, a world where the strong preyed on the weak! We're going to unify it and change it, and I'm going to prevent more people from suffering. " Princess Xia Ming seemed to be living at the time of her death. Although he did not know when she was bullied to death, it was definitely still a feudal society, and at that time, it was indeed as he had said, the strong would prey on the weak, a woman like him who had no status. He could only follow the hand of fate.
"Mother! Do you know how many years it has been? It's not the society you're in at all. There won't be any weak girls getting bullied now. Women's status is higher than men, it's really not as rotten as you think. If what you said is true, then you don't have to worry about it at all. Mother, why don't you go reincarnate and continue to enjoy this world? " Shuo Yue's words hit right into my heart.
"You're wrong," he said. "You're wrong, Shuo'er. Society is different. The world is the same. There are unscrupulous men, men who turn their backs on women!" Just like your father, once he knew our identities, he immediately abandoned us! Is it because society is different that men love women? "Not really!" Princess Xia Ming might have suffered too much deception, so she no longer trusted anyone anymore.
If that were to happen, Shuo Yue would have no way to explain herself. He knew that he would not be able to move Princess Xia Ming's words.
"Mother, perhaps you are right. This world is unfair to begin with, but now, at least he is peaceful. Do you want to break this peace and destroy everything in life? Or could it be that you are doing it for your own selfish sake, for revenge, and for ambition? In that case, I won't agree with you anymore … "
"Shuo'er!" "What are you saying, I am your mother!" Princess Xia Ming's tone became forceful, as if she was unwilling to play the role of a benevolent mother anymore.
Mother, it's true that I've come to reunite with you and your son. If you had only come to reminisce with me, I would naturally be very happy, but if you want to talk about what happened back then, then I've let you down, and I won't argue with you about what's right and what's wrong. If you want revenge, or if anyone else wants revenge on me, you can come at me. Shuo Yue was very decisive in her words.
"Shuo'er, I hope that you understand that everything I do is for your own good." At this time, Princess Xia Ming already spoke with helplessness. Then, I heard Shuo Yue cry out in alarm, shout "Mother" and became completely silent.
"Shaowugo! Something's wrong! " He had probably already made his move, but he didn't know what the actual situation was.
"Don't worry, Little Su Su, what's going on inside?"
"It seems like Shuo Yue was attacked and then there was no sound. What should we do? " I said anxiously.
"Enter!" Zhang Shaowu decisively made a choice, probably because he was afraid that Shuo Yue would have some sort of problem as well.
Entering the Sky Emperor's Treasure Hall, they saw that Shuo Yue's throat was being held by his mother, and had already been controlled. Zhang Ziyuan had also revealed his true body, attempting to save Shuo Yue, while the two sides were in a confrontation.
"Hahahaha, so you really came together!" This plan of mine is really going to get everything in one fell swoop! " As the laughter grew louder and louder, a tall and sturdy man walked out from behind a Ghost King statue.
Shuo Yue who was being controlled screamed: "This, this is Ghost King, you, don't worry about me, quickly go!"
An appointment with Shuo Yue was just a trap. They probably already knew that we were together with Shuo Yue, so their real target was probably us. In fact, it could even be said that it was just me alone.
At this time, I finally calmed down: "Oh, so you are that Ghost King? I've heard a lot about you. You still haven't changed your mind? What else do you plan on doing? "
Ghost King had probably never met such an impolite girl, and gnashed his teeth in anger: "You actually dare to talk to me like this, who do you think you are? However, this looks very familiar. "
Princess Xia Ming reminded him: "Lord Ghost King, this is the reincarnation of rain house Jun Mingzhu. Have you forgotten? It's that woman who used the thousand year Ice Soul to extinguish your ghostfire! "
"Oh!" This Seat remembers! This time, I was waiting for you. You actually came. Very good. " Ghost King spoke
He was full of vigor and didn't look like someone who had just extinguished a ghost flame. His severe injuries caused my ears to go numb.
My name is Su Su, it doesn't matter even if you treat me as the reincarnation of a Master Jun, we can talk slowly about whatever matter we need to discuss, can you let Shuo Yue go first? Shuo Yue had been controlled by his mother this whole time, so it probably wasn't easy for him.
Shuo Yue struggled for a while: "I already said that this is a trap that the Ghost King brought you to, and I let you down, and actually led you to fall for it, don't bother about it anymore, it's still too late to leave!"
"No, it's too late. Today, none of you should even think about leaving!" The Ghost King was furious. He grabbed Shuo Yue from Princess Xia Ming's hands and knocked him into a pillar. The pillar seemed to also have ghost power s as it automatically transformed into a few chains and trapped Shuo Yue tightly in the middle.
Princess Xia Ming seemed to have never thought that the Ghost King would actually make a move against her son. You promised that you would use Shuo Yue as bait to lure them here. You promised me that you wouldn't hurt my son! "
"Childish!" What time is it now that you still insist on such laughable kinship. If it wasn't for him back then, would our Fengdu Ghost City have disappeared into thin air? All the subordinates of our Fengdu will die? Even I was almost scared out of my wits! I will never forget the hatred back then! " It was probably because Ghost King told Princess Xia Ming to use his son, Shuo Yue, to attract us, and even though we promised to release him, Ghost King did not plan to give up his revenge.
"Lord Ghost King, he is my son. Let him live." Princess Xia Ming seemed to be panicking, afraid that his son would make a mistake. She still had some motherly feelings towards Shuo Yue.
"Xia Ming, there's no need to talk about anything else. After taking Jun Mingzhu's reincarnated life, beating her to death and taking back the pyretic lustre and Space Abyssal Sword, I will consider letting your son go." Ghost King is really scheming, now you want to use Princess Xia Ming to deal with me, you really are a schemer.
"Mother, please don't agree to him. His words won't count. He wants us to kill each other, don't be fooled!" Shuo Yue was trapped in the middle of the chains, her expression was painful, hearing Ghost King's orders, she immediately advised his mother not to be used anymore.
Xia Ming hesitated, he knew that the Ghost King was scheming something, but she had no way of resisting.
