Chapter 2998: Side Branches and Details

These days, as Chi and Shuangye interacted, no matter how Shuangye behaved, the Holy Mother of Jin Du could sense his arrogance.

This brat simply doesn't regard Chi, who is his mother, with any respect.

A disobedient dog must be severely punished.

Shuangye is Chi's creation, and all rights belong to Chi; the Holy Mother of Jin Du naturally cannot allow him to strut and show off in her presence.

But the predator's cultivation has long surpassed Chi's, and will only grow stronger and more defiant in the future; the Holy Mother of Jin Du wants to act against him, but it's not so convenient.

So, now is the perfect time.

Chi uses her own blood as a curse, and while Shuangye is weak, she will re-sign a contract with him. Once this blood contract succeeds, from now on, the Holy Mother of Jin Du will not only be able to sense his location in real time, but also remotely perceive his joys, angers, sorrows, and happiness. Shuangye cannot defy Chi's commands, just like the other Jin Du cubs.

This is what mother-and-son heart-connection means, right?

Xi Yunhe exclaimed in shock: "What are you doing?"

The Holy Mother of Jin Du laughed: "Thanks to that lowly human birth mother, he was born defective; I'm taking advantage of this rejuvenation opportunity to make up for his deficiencies."

This predator's disobedience stems entirely from the fact that his human birth mother was excessively weak at the beginning, causing his mutation.

Now the Holy Mother of Jin Du will take this opportunity to correct him. Chi clearly understands that to become truly strong, she must perfectly control Shuangye, just as she controls the other Jin Du cubs, achieving obedience and effortless command.

Once the blood contract is signed and the predator is allowed to eat his fill, the Holy Mother of Jin Du will obtain a perfect, powerful, and loyal child. Then, when Chi tells Shuangye to go east, Shuangye will not dare go west.

"Attack!" Xi Yunhe pointed his sword tip at the ground, kicking up a sudden swirl of sand to push back the Holy Mother of Jin Du. Shuangye's other subordinates also rushed forward, scrambling for the infant on the ground.

The Holy Mother of Jin Du snorted, then looked at Shuangye.

"You just lack proper upbringing!" Chi knew Shuangye, this little brat, was guarding against her, "From childhood to adulthood, no one ever told you to listen to your mother!"

Chi flicked her sleeves, and more than twenty black shadows shot out from her sleeves, landing and transforming into monsters that lunged at Xi Yunhe and the others.

No matter how frightening their appearance, they all share a basic trait: they are all Jin Du ghostlings.

At the same time, the Holy Mother of Jin Du threw out a toy house, palm-sized but with a rational layout and exquisite craftsmanship, clearly not mundane. Before it even landed, four figures jumped out from inside, initially only the size of mung beans, but after jumping out of the toy house, they grew instantly in the wind; within a short breath and a half, they became three men of ordinary human height.

Their faces were somewhat cold, and upon appearing, they did not look at the Holy Mother of Jin Du; two of them immediately flicked their fingers and cast seals, directing powerful spells at Xi Yunhe and the others.

These few are fully descended heavenly gods.

"You still told the Ling Xu Holy Venerable!" Xi Yunhe silently cursed, the National Teacher's prediction was spot on.

The Holy Mother of Jin Du coldly snorted: "The Holy Venerable knew you would play tricks, so he specially sent me extra help!"

Anyway, Shuangye currently has no power to resist, and Chi is too tired to pretend.

These past few days, Chi has been acting as a kind old mother in human guise, truly exhausting her!

Why do humans coddle infants, why fake smiles, why pinch their voices? It's so damn boring!

Xi Yunhe couldn't hold back, cursing on behalf of the National Teacher:

"Utterly foolish!"

The Holy Mother of Jin Du, after thinking it over, still reported Shuangye's temporary arrival at the Ya Da Archipelago to the Ling Xu Holy Venerable. Thus, the Ling Xu Holy Venerable sent Chi three additional helpers.

The Holy Mother of Jin Du gladly accepted. Even though she confirmed Shuangye cannot truly defy her, to ensure the blood contract for this journey proceeds smoothly, more helpers are naturally better.

As expected, this little brat Shuangye harbors ulterior motives again!

Fortunately, we have three heavenly gods here, plus the Holy Mother of Jin Du and the cubs; dealing with Shuangye's few subordinates is more than sufficient.

At this moment, the last heavenly god approached, producing a pill and handing it to the Holy Mother of Jin Du:

"Feed it to your child!"

Chi wanted to feed it herself, but the predator's mouth is full of sharp teeth, and hearing he eats anything, Chi feared her hand would be bitten.

The Holy Mother of Jin Du wondered: "What is this?"

The heavenly god offered no explanation, pointing at Shuangye and saying: "The Holy Venerable instructed, you must make the predator swallow this!"

... The Holy Mother of Jin Du's expression changed.

Xi Yunhe fought while sneering:

"You told the Ling Xu Holy Venerable— that's like asking a tiger for its skin! Chi has long planned to seize your greatest weapon!"

The current situation is crystal clear; the Holy Mother of Jin Du still thought the Ling Xu Holy Venerable sent people to help her, but didn't expect they also planned to take advantage of Shuangye's helplessness to force-feed him medicine.

Once this medicine enters his system, the predator will likely be firmly controlled by the Ling Xu Holy Venerable, no longer needing to go through the Holy Mother of Jin Du.

Previously, as a predator, Shuangye had too much autonomy; even the heavenly demons couldn't forcibly control him.

Holding a high position, intelligent, and about to experience explosive growth in strength, such a Shuangye is extremely useful to the heavenly demons, yet the Holy Mother of Jin Du cannot control him. Therefore, the Ling Xu Holy Venerable's choice is to personally control Shuangye and kick the Holy Mother of Jin Du aside!

In the Ling Xu Holy Venerable's view, taking the predator is no big deal, since the Holy Mother of Jin Du wouldn't dare kill Shuangye anyway.

The heavenly god also said: "This Shuangye brat is sly as hell; the Holy Venerable fears you'll suffer a loss, so he gave him an extra layer of spell-binding!"

By now, doesn't the Holy Mother of Jin Du understand?

"Rest assured, the Holy Venerable said he won't let you lose." The heavenly god also urged Chi: "Hurry up, are you feeding or not?"

The Holy Mother of Jin Du's back teeth were about to shatter. If she feeds this pill, Chi's greatest weapon will no longer be her own.

If she doesn't feed it... will the Holy Venerable spare Chi?

While Chi's mind was still tangled, her legs had already automatically moved toward Shuangye.

For years, Chi has grown accustomed to obeying only the Ling Xu Holy Venerable's commands, unable to muster even a hint of resistance from the heart.

Moreover, what this companion said is correct; the Holy Venerable has always been fair and reasonable, so since he took Chi's greatest weapon in the mortal realm, he will surely compensate her in other aspects.

The predator on the ground lifted his head to look at Chi, his gaze icy and chilling.

Even if returned to the moment of his birth, his mind has not regressed.

Before the Holy Mother of Jin Du could wonder why, since she hadn't yet touched Shuangye, this brat had already vanished.

Or should we say, a shadow lunged forward, snatched the predator away with a whoosh, moving so fast that everyone present couldn't react in time. That shadow flashed and was already over five zhang away.

The Holy Mother of Jin Du fixed her gaze and snapped: "So it's you."

Isn't this the female donor who previously gave Shuangye the trident?

Turns out she never left at all.
