Chapter 171: Wordless Stele

Chapter 171: Wordless Stele

Huo Siqins snow-white teeth bit her lower lip, twisting her slender waist that barely fit in her grip. She sat plumply on Qi Beis lap.

Qi Bei immediately swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his lower body reacted like a soldier receiving a command, standing at attention. He forced a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth. If this had happened a few days ago, he would have readily devoured this little lamb delivered to his doorstep. But now, the extreme yang energy in his body was at a critical point, and it wouldnt be good to ignite it further.

Moreover, if he was going to indulge his desires, it had to be Feng Ruoyu, the supreme Yin physique. The young girl had already blossomed into a beautiful figure, ripe for plucking, right?

Qi Bei was stirred up by Huo Siqin and began to feel restless. However, although he had heard Feng Ruoyu express her willingness to marry him in the carriage earlier, he couldnt just take her body rashly. She probably wouldnt accept it either.

So, with great determination, Qi Bei lifted Huo Siqin and placed her on the bed, covering her delicate body with a blanket.

Huo Siqin looked at Qi Bei with a desolate expression, her eyes filled with misty tears. Did he not want her anymore?

Observing her expression, Qi Bei realized that his actions had wounded the girls heart.

Dont overthink it; its just that its not convenient for me this time, Qi Bei stroked her hair and said.

Huh? Could it be that men also have a few days each month? Huo Siqin opened her mouth in surprise, looking incredibly adorable.

Qi Bei didnt bother explaining. Instead, he took out a spatial ring, took her small hand, and placed it on her ring finger.

Huo Siqins face lit up with joy. A ring like this was his promise, even though its design was ordinary and dull, looking like a cheap piece of junk with a few copper coins from a roadside stall. But as long as it was given by Qi Bei, even if it were made of randomly woven grass, she would be incredibly excited.

This is a spatial ring. Inside, theres a Life Heart, several magic spells, and the soul book of a Saint Mage, Qi Bei explained.

Huo Siqins mouth formed an o shape once again. This was a spatial ring, a spatial ring! Even the head of the Huo family had only seen and touched one but had never possessed such a thing. What made her even more incredulous was the mention of the Soul Book of a Saint Mage.

Saint Mage, what a remarkable existence. This soul book was probably priceless in the entire Falling Sunset Kingdom.

The Life Heart is the crystallization of the power of the Goddess of Life. Keep it close to you every time you practice, and remember, never speak of it to anyone, or it will bring deadly consequences, Qi Bei solemnly said.

Huo Siqin was completely stunned, petrified. At first, she had no idea what the Life Heart was, but hearing Qi Beis words that it was the crystallization of the power of the Goddess of Life, her mind couldnt process it.

Practice well, you will succeed, Qi Bei said, then disappeared into the tent with a flash.

It took Huo Siqin a long time to snap out of her daze. She had thought she was dreaming at first, but the spatial ring on her finger and its contents made her realize that all of this was real.

So she clenched her fist, took a deep breath, and took out the Life Heart from the spatial ring, keeping it close to her. She put on her magic robe and sat cross-legged to begin her training.

In the Golden Leaf Imperial City, although the 800th Year Grand Anniversary was still some time away, the peripheral members of the Nord family had already arrived. The entire city was filled with an unusual atmosphere.

Kurt Nords spirit had improved significantly, and his hunched back had straightened. His dim eyes became vibrant, as if he had rejuvenated overnight.

Xiaosan, how has this old man treated you? Kurt Nord asked the black-robed man in front of him. ((TL: Xiaosan = Little three))

Master has treated Xiaosan with utmost kindness, the man replied in a hoarse voice.

Then do me a favor, as repayment for this kindness, Kurt Nord said.

In front of him, there stood an extremely ancient stone stele with no inscriptions. At this moment, the golden energy flow in his palm had quieted down.

Is this the thing? Qi Bei stepped closer to the stele, extending his left hand to touch it.

Just as his palm was about to make contact with the stele, suddenly, his black longsword emitted a sharp clang.

Qi Bei froze and retracted his hand because he felt the black longsword warning him.

At that moment, the inscribed-less stele emitted faint golden rays, and the center of the stele began to distort. Qi Bei took a few steps back, remaining vigilant as he watched the stele.

Before long, he noticed that the distorted part of the stele started taking the shape of a human face.

As the face took form, Qi Beis pupils contracted, and his face filled with astonishment because the shape of that face resembled his biological mother in this life.

Child, come quickly, come to your mother, the beautiful woman formed on the stone stele gently parted her red lips, and her soft voice resounded in his mind.

Qi Bei involuntarily took a step forward, the golden energy flow in his palm was violently fluctuating, seemingly drawn towards the stele.

Who are you? Qi Bei forcibly suppressed the almost uncontrollable urge to move forward and spoke in a low voice.

I am your mother, Lilith. Child, havent you felt the deep resonance in your soul? Because within you, you inherit my bloodline, the woman spoke softly, and tears shimmered in her beautiful eyes.

Mother! Qi Beis heart was struck in that tender place, and the attraction in his bloodline, the resonance in his soul, was undeniably real.

He walked forward, slowly extending his hand, wanting to touch that face that only appeared in his dreams.

Zzz, at that moment, the black longsword trembled once again, its vibrations more intense and frequent than ever before.

Child, my child, come quickly Lilith called out.

Qi Beis hand stopped once again, and he asked with doubt, My mother is already dead, if you are truly her, why would you appear here?

Silly child, I have indeed passed away. This is just a remnant of my soul attached to this place, and my remnant soul is about to dissipate. After persisting for so many years, I only wanted to see you once, to witness my bloodline living safely in this world, and then I would have no regrets, Lilith said, looking at Qi Bei.

Qi Beis eyes stared into the eyes of the beautiful face on the stele, and suddenly, he smiled. The black longsword in his hand swiftly pierced the center of the distorted face on the stele.

The black radiance flickered within the longsword, and the face immediately contorted.

Child, you

Qi Bei burst into laughter, feeling relieved. Stop pretending. Your gaze is tender, tender in a way that intoxicates people, but it resembles the tenderness between lovers, not that of a mothers love. You are not my mother Lilith.

At that moment, the twisted and distorted face let out a piercing laughter, and then it spoke, You are clever, but since youve come, do you think you can escape? I have been waiting for this day for far too long.

The face suddenly transformed into a rapidly rotating vortex, emitting a tremendous suction force, instantly pulling Qi Bei and his sword into its depths.

Soon after, the entire stone stele returned to its original state, as if nothing had ever happened.New novel chapters are published on
