Chapter 274: 141. Ye Chen’s mother, Princess Consort Beichuan also has a script! The drunken Master!_1
In the Great Snowy Mountains where the Great Zhou Dynasty bordered the Northern Continent, deep beneath Thousand Snow Ridge, lay an extremely secretive, little-known ice vault.
Today, this mysterious ice vault known as the Tomb of the Undying received a visitor.
"Mother, your son has come to see you!"
"Father left behind a silk pouch before his death and instructed me only to open it when I encounter a life-altering setback!"
"So, after Ye Xuan’er broke my heart, I opened that silk pouch, and to my surprise..."
"What was written inside... was your whereabouts. You, Mother, have been missing for so long! Mother, I truly miss you! SOB SOB SOB..."
In the center of the underground ice vault, before a solemn ice coffin intricately carved with ice flower patterns, a one-armed young man dressed in black knelt on the ground, wailing loudly.
At this moment, the woman lying inside the ice coffin was the mother he, Ye Chen, had lost contact with when he was five years old, the mother he had been yearning for day and night!
"My dear mother! Father’s silk pouch said that you didn’t die but were sealed by some mysterious power! As long as I drip my fresh blood onto your brow and wait for three days, you can break this seal and return to the world of the living!"
"I’m not sure if what Father said is true or not..."
"But! I can’t worry about that anymore!"
"Your unfilial daughter, Ye Xuan’er! She dared... to turn her sword against me, her own brother! Not only that! She even seized the family business that originally belonged to me, the legitimate son, and threw herself into the arms of an ugly, filthy man!"
"Mother, do you know? That deranged man, Lin Xiao!"
"My dear mother! Father once said that you possess world-shocking power! If I can successfully revive you this time, you must take revenge for your own son! AWOOOO!"
After crying bitterly for a while, the young man managed to calm his emotions, wiped his tears, and stepped forward.
Despite having been in this place for so long, it was only now that he gathered the courage to observe his birth mother up close for the first time.
Her black hair cascaded like a waterfall. She wore a sacred white long dress and a seven-colored floral wreath. Her skin was as lustrous as jade, and her delicate facial features were exquisitely beautiful and captivating.
At this moment, she lay there quietly, her demeanor elegant and peaceful, as if a goddess from the Upper Realm were slumbering in the realm of mortals.
I’m so envious of Father.
Ye Chen swallowed.
Compelled by some strange impulse, he took another step towards the ice coffin. As if possessed, he slowly extended his hand, attempting to touch his mother...
It’s okay! It’s been too long since I’ve seen Mother. I... I just want to embrace her, to fulfill my filial duty!
If Lin Xiao, that petty man, can be intimate with his beautiful Master, why can’t I!
Lin Xiao, oh, Lin Xiao! All the beauties of the Qinglan Sect stand by your side! But you’d never guess, would you? There’s a great beauty in this world with a heaven-defying background who will never betray me, the Son of Destiny! Because—she is my dear mother!
The young man grew more and more excited the more he thought about it.
He, Ye Wudi, thought about how, ever since entering the Qinglan Sect’s territory, he had faced constant setbacks. The halo of beauties throwing themselves at him in the past was completely gone!
These days, the only companion he’d had close contact with... was that giant lizard covered in hideous scales!
"RETCH!"
The thought of that frenzied day in the ruined temple made the young man nauseous, and he dry-heaved again.
Mother, I... I really need the embrace of a beautiful woman right now.
Please... heal me!
Anyway, you haven’t seen Chen’er since he grew up. Father could do it! So can I! It’s just... an embrace!
At this thought, the young man cast aside all hesitation, his features twisting into a somewhat deranged expression from excitement.
He suddenly reached out with his only arm.
Closer! Closer and closer!
Just as the young man’s palm was about to touch the beautiful woman inside the ice coffin, an undeniable demonic voice implanted itself into his mind, "Ye Chen, my son! The Sky Yin Demon Sect’s uprising is imminent. Why haven’t you returned to the Qinglan Sect to act as my protector?"
It was the Sky Yin Blood Demon!
Hearing this voice, the young man shivered, his face turning deathly pale.
This fiend is indeed monitoring my every move!
"Lord Blood Demon! My deepest apologies! This mission... I failed! I couldn’t convince Ye Xuan’er!"
Ye Chen quickly prostrated himself on the ground and then hurriedly added, "As for this ice vault, it’s actually..."
Before he could finish, the demonic voice continued, "Enough talk! Hurry back to the Coiling Dragon Abyss! I have an important matter to entrust to you! No delays will be tolerated!"
Seeing that the other party seemed uninterested in his mother’s situation, Ye Chen heaved a long sigh of relief, hastily kowtowed, and said, "Rest assured, Adoptive Father! I will return to your side immediately!"
He knew that half of his Seven Evil Demon Heart was in the Sky Yin Blood Demon’s grasp.
Therefore, he dared not linger. After one last, reluctant look at his mother, he gritted his teeth and departed.
「Not long after the young man left the ice vault.」
The beautiful woman in the ice coffin slowly opened her eyes.
Chen’er... what was he trying to do to me just now?
Sigh, that child’s once pure heart... has it truly been corrupted?
Still, in the Heavenly Dao’s script I see in my mind, this child’s burden of slaughter is too heavy. He alone will achieve his Dao, for which all beings in the Lower Realm will be sacrificed. After he Proves Dao, he will become even more unrestrained, slaughtering the gods and buddhas of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, thereby incurring the wrath of the Heavenly Dao...
As his mother, now that I know everything the future holds, I must break this seal as soon as possible and go out to guide him onto the Righteous Path!
