Douling Empire, Spirit City.
Lan Xuanyu looked at the magnificent mansion in front of him with a complex expression.
“Xuanming Sect, one of the top Sects in Spirit City…
If I join and serve as a servant for a few years, they will give me a free Martial Soul Awakening.”
He, Lan Xuanyu, the dignified Dragon God reincarnated, the supreme God King, actually had to come to such a Sect to be a servant—it was simply a huge humiliation!
But currently, Lan Xuanyu really had no other choice.
He had been struggling to survive in Spirit City for over a year by scavenging, and he was already over 6 years old.
If he delayed any longer, he would have no time to Cultivate.
Born in a slum with such a disastrous start, how could he possibly make money?
Although he lived in an era with quite advanced soul guidance technology two thousand years later, he himself didn’t really understand soul guidance technology.
His secondary profession was forging, but at his current age, he simply didn’t have the strength to use it.
If he wanted to make money, he needed to forge; if he wanted to forge, he needed to first Awaken his Martial Soul to gain strength.
It was a death loop.
So he really had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.
In this era, without Spirit Hall and Spirit Pagoda, ancient rituals like Martial Soul Awakening were controlled by the Soul Master noble class.
And for such a big cake, how could those Soul Master masters not take a bite?
Either pay money to Awaken, ten gold coins; or join a major power or Family and work for free for a few years; otherwise, you wouldn’t Awaken your Martial Soul and would remain an ordinary person for life, with no way out.
It was just the path he had traveled before.
He believed that with his own wisdom and ability, he would definitely find a way to reach the Peak!
Lan Xuanyu clenched his fists and walked into the gate of the Xuanming Sect without looking back.
…
Three days later, in the northern suburbs of Star Luo City.
“This is the place!”
Baili Du stood in front of a duplex three-story villa, clapping his hands in satisfaction, and beckoned for a particularly delicate-looking young boy and a gentle-looking beautiful woman to go inside.
This was their new home.
If one were to ask which cities had the best public security, it would be the capitals of the various nations and Shrek City.
In Heaven Dou City, one might encounter the remnants of the Tang Sect, and that place was close to the Clear Sky Sect, so there was no guarantee they wouldn’t run into the backup plans of that grandson Tang San.
He didn’t want to expose himself to Tang San right now; Shrek City was also off-limits for now; Tang San’s mother was in that Golden Tree; Mingdu City was even worse. Visit novelping(.)com for the full chapter.
As for Spirit City…
it was better not to go and provoke the grandson of the Tang Sect prematurely.
After all, he was also a very important piece on the board.
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest.
No matter how smart the Duchess was, she would never think that Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun’er would be living right under her nose.
Not to mention that with him around, let alone the Duchess’s spies, even Tang Hao and Ah Yin, who had already replaced the [Plane Master] and [Life Core], wouldn’t be able to find them.
Baili Du smiled and looked at them: “…
Lady Huo, and little Yuhao, this will be our new home from now on.”
Huo Yun’er stepped forward with some worry and cautiously suggested: “Mr.
Baili, why don’t we go back?
I believe Brother Hao will not abandon us…”
After struggling for a moment, Huo Yun’er added: “If it doesn’t work, we can go back and admit our mistake to the First Madam.
We will accept whatever punishment, we are a Family, there’s no need to make it like this…”
“…”
Baili Du’s brows couldn’t help but twitch, and a surge of anger began to spread from the bottom of his heart.
Constant concession and compromise, always prioritizing the needs of others…
This was the “excellent quality” that Huo Yun’er had taught Huo Yuhao during his childhood, which was useless in this World of the jungle law…
It wasn’t that Huo Yun’er protected Huo Yuhao too well, but that she hadn’t protected Huo Yuhao at all.
But looking at his mother’s somewhat haggard yet beautiful face, he swallowed the retort he wanted to make back down.
As a mother, Huo Yun’er had already done everything flesh and blood could do.
As a son, he had no right to blame her more.
“…
Lady Huo,” Baili Du suppressed his anger and smiled at Huo Yun’er: “I ask you to use your brain, which has not yet been completely occupied by love cells, to think: who gives a [Dagger] as a token of love?
And if that White Tiger Duke really had you in his heart, then how could Yuhao have a younger brother who is one year younger than him out of thin air?”
Huo Yun’er was stunned, subconsciously gripping little Huo Yuhao’s hand, her body trembling slightly.
She wasn’t ignorant of these truths, but on this Douluo Continent, which was suspected to have been created by the God of Love, the power of love was still too strong.
As the former [Emotion God King], although he had lost his God Position, his perception of emotions was unmatched in the entire God Realm.
Baili Du immediately sensed that the [Love] emotion towards Dai Hao in his mother’s heart had begun to weaken.
Good opportunity!
“Or rather…” Baili Du struck while the iron was hot, slightly manipulating the power of emotion to influence Huo Yun’er’s [Love] for Dai Hao, and looking at little Huo Yuhao, whose expression had also turned quite ugly, he sneered: “Do you want to drag your only son to Hell right now? You are reading on novеlping.com, the official source.
Let me remind you, after that day, those servants who brought Dai Huabin back were executed by the Duchess on charges of poor protection.”
“I don’t need to say what the consequences for you will be, right?
If you want to go back and throw yourself into the net now, I won’t stop you.” Then he kicked the door open somewhat violently, moved his body aside, pointed outside, and said, “Please feel free.”
…
Baili Du’s overly harsh reprimand made Huo Yun’er’s eyes redden, and she looked at her hopeful son in a daze.
Huo Yuhao just held Huo Yun’er’s hand tightly, and from his expression, it was clear that he agreed more with Baili Du’s words.
As a mother, she could endure suffering for her son’s future life, or even die, but she had to consider what her son would do after she died?
Could he really face this cruel World?
That “husband” who said he would come back to pick her up to enjoy a good life after the war, why would he rather have another child than come back to see her?
Even…
even unwilling to give her a title?
On one side was reality and the child she raised, and on the other was an illusory promise and love.
As a mother, this was not a difficult question to choose.
Currently, letting little Huo Yuhao stay with this Baili Du was undoubtedly the best choice.
Without needing to think for too long, Huo Yun’er gripped little Huo Yuhao’s hand tightly and bowed deeply to Baili Du, “Sorry to trouble you, Mr.
Baili.” Then she resolutely took little Huo Yuhao into the villa.
…
After the mother and son walked into their room, a relieved smile appeared on Baili Du’s face, and then he lowered his head, covered his mouth, and held back the urge to cry.
In the past, he could only watch his mother’s body become increasingly thin, and then pass away while missing Dai Hao.
After death, she was caught by Tang San to the God Realm, coerced and lured, and used as an important link in training dogs…
Now he finally…
finally changed all this and took his mother out of this prison!
He understood his mother too well, so he had to resort to this desperate measure.
People are forced into things.
Although his methods were indeed not very good, there was no other way.
He didn’t want the tragedy of his mother to play out in front of his eyes again, didn’t want her to become a bargaining chip for Tang San to threaten Huo Yuhao again, and even less did he want her to suffer these undeserved hardships.
