Chapter 610: Mother Goes Up the Mountain

In the afternoon, Long Ming and Chen Shen went up the mountain together.

The Chen Clan left only Chen Yuan and his son; Chen Chusheng looked at his father and said sympathetically, "Father, your days will be even harder from now on."

He patted his father's shoulder, Chen Chusheng expressed his sympathy; his mother's power had risen too fast, that pressure made him unable to breathe, just a thought—he had no strength to resist, not even a bit of resistance.

The father was the same; after condensing his elixir, his power had increased considerably, but it was useless.

The henpecked father stayed the same, with no change; he had once been stronger than the mother but still feared her, now he was weaker than her, his status even lower, not to mention he had provoked the mother; for so long he still couldn't appease her—this father's future is obviously miserable.

Basically, he had lost the dignity of the family head; however, at home and outside, the mother still gave him face.

Moreover, the mother treats everyone the same—him, Third Uncle, or anyone else in the Chen Clan; whoever sees her feels afraid.

"Don't mock your father; you're no better."

Chen Yuan, wanting to maintain the authority of the family head, spoke stubbornly: "From now on, I, as father, have decided to find you a woman more formidable than your mother."

"Eh?" Chen Chusheng looked at his father with utter disbelief; at this moment, he was not his father but a devil, a naked devil.

A true devil.

A terrifying devil.

"Father, do you really have to be this ruthless? I am still your own son."

"So what? If I, as father, have no good days, you won't have any either."

I can't go on; sorry, you don't even think about making things easy for me.

Hmph.

Chen Chusheng never expected his father to be so heartless, so cruel.

"Father, if you really can't bear to watch, you could target Second Brother—his life is so good, why pick on me alone?"

Both are sons; why favor Second Brother?

They're the same; it can't always be him who suffers.

Chen Yuan glanced at Chen Chusheng, spread his hands, and said, "As father, I can't beat him."

"But as father I can abuse you—is that reason enough?"

Saying that, he kicked Chen Chusheng directly, sending him flying.

Chen Chusheng flew backward, thinking it unbelievable; he truly never expected his father to strike.

Too sudden.

He had no reaction at all; his body flew out.

"Father, you have no martial virtue."

"Tch, beating you doesn't require martial virtue."

"Bang."

Another kick, one after another.

Not giving him any face.

Chen Chusheng resisted, but realized he was no match for his father.

He was completely crushed, with no strength to resist.

In the end, Chen Chusheng lay on the ground, doubting life.

He truly never expected this; his father was… so… heartless—if he had known, he wouldn't have come back.

He was fine outside; why come back?

Even on Longshe Shan, it wouldn't be like this.

He was careless.

"Son, it's not that I, as father, want to beat you; I don't want to either."

"From now on, you need to be more resistant to beatings."

Chen Yuan's words were painfully heartbreaking.

Very deadly.

Hearing that, Chen Chusheng trembled all over; in his father's heart, he already had no standing.

At once, he wanted to leave and never come back.

On Longshe Shan.

Long Ming and Chen Shen entered the mountains; at first glance they observed the surroundings, checking Longshe Shan's changes.

One must admit, Longshe Shan has changed greatly; each visit brings different changes.

On the mountain, spirit fruits grew large, giving off a faint fragrance.

Spirit spring water flowed, a layer of mist enveloped.

Rising spirit energy constantly surged into the clouds.

The mist-shrouded lower half of the mountain can block everything.

The rice on the spirit fields has sprouted, soon to mature.

Busy people, working hard.

Long Ming saw Hu Yueer and the three others working, but they received no special treatment.

Regarding this, Long Ming nodded, very satisfied.

"This woman is still fairly obedient."

Hu Yueer sensed a terrifying pressure locking onto her; at that moment she lifted her head, saw Long Ming, and her body trembled involuntarily.

Her soul trembled as well; Dragon Might shocked her soul and flesh, making her unable to breathe.

Hu Yueer dared not lift her head, she lowered it and worked.

The children nearby noticed, glanced, and thought it was nothing.

Long Ming's Dragon Might was aimed at Hu Yueer, not at these two children.

The mother and son trio were fairly well-behaved; Long Ming came up the mountain and saw Chen Chuyang and Shang Hongxue leaning on each other, the two of them not shy at all and not caring about others' gazes, very sweet.

Seeing this, Long Ming didn't want to disturb them, but he had already come up the mountain, so he couldn't help but cough.

"Cough cough."

As for Chen Shen, he first looked toward Liu Yuer, wanting to leave here to find Liu Yuer.

With his sister-in-law beside him, he didn't dare act recklessly, obediently following.

Chen Chuyang had long known they were coming up the mountain and was prepared; the little girl didn't know, hearing the cough she jumped up immediately, then saw Long Ming, her face instantly turning red.

She lowered her head shyly; even though she had seen him many times, she still felt shy.

Perhaps it was natural fear and apprehension that prevented her from raising her head; there was no trace of her former bearing.

Chen Chuyang stood up and smiled at his mother: "Mother, you came without saying a word; I'll have Hongxue come get you."

Long Ming gave her son a white-eye, knowing he surely already knew she was coming up the mountain, but was just putting on an act.

She walked over, took Shang Hongxue's hand and asked after her warmth, ignoring Chen Chuyang.

Chen Chuyang was left hanging.

He rubbed his nose, looking embarrassed.

Chen Shen raised his eyebrows, chuckling incessantly.

The two mothers-in-law were building rapport, chatting about women's topics, while Chen Chuyang walked over to his third uncle and asked: "Third Uncle, how did Mother come up the mountain with you?"

Chen Shen briefly explained what had happened in the Chen Clan; although it was embarrassing, he still said it out.

"That's how it is; the future of the Chen Clan needs careful planning, and since my sister-in-law has no ideas, I came to ask you."

Chen Chuyang nodded: "I see, so my father was suppressed?"

"Exactly, your father deserved it; if not him, who else would be suppressed?"

Third Uncle Chen Chen came over and said softly: "Your father always wanted to bring the two children back to the Chen Clan, saying it more than once; this time, after your sister-in-law broke through, she directly suppressed him, letting him know who is the head of the household and who is the true authority in the Chen Clan."

"Indeed, he deserved it."

Chen Chuyang looked at his mother; this look was astonishing.

The mother's aura was very strong, especially that Dragon Might, which had not been noticed before.

Up close, it was very clear.

It was truly Dragon Might, not the false prestige gained from taking Dragon Blood Pills.
