Chapter 397: This is his son

Lin Xueyan's eyes were blazing.

How proud a person is Your Majesty?

If he learned that Ye Qingran's other child wasn't his, but was hers and another Wild Man's, with so many people watching, his face would be slapped—he would surely fly into a rage, right?

Thinking this, Lin Xueyan suppressed her excitement and shouted: "Your Majesty, Mo Xiaohu is Ye Qingran and the Wild Man's Wild Offspring! She has long betrayed you!"

Upon saying this, everyone present had different thoughts.

Mo Xiaohu and Fu Qianchen do not resemble each other. Fu Qianchen looks very much like the Emperor Sovereign, while Mo Xiaohu bears some resemblance to Ye Qingran; as for the Emperor Sovereign, they share only a faint similarity.

Moreover, Mo Xiaohu's age could be said to be either four or five.

Could it be that after Ye Qingran bore a child for the Emperor Sovereign back then, she really turned around and had another child with another man?

If that is truly the case, then given the Emperor Sovereign's pride, he would certainly not let Ye Qingran off, right?

Ye Qingran turned to look at Lin Xueyan, the corner of her mouth curling into an arc, yet her eyes held a shocking chill.

"Lin Xueyan, do you think that the other child abandoned back then on the Soul‑Severing Abyss has long been dead?"

Lin Xueyan's heart gave a jolt.

Isn't it the case?

"Yes, he's dead! He was torn apart by wild beasts, a gruesome sight!"

Lin Xueyan gritted her teeth and roared.

Since she has no way out, she won't let Ye Qingran have an easy time!

She wants Ye Qingran to spend the rest of her life in pain.

Ye Qingran, however, curled her lips in a light laugh: "Sorry to disappoint you, that child is still alive and doing very well!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! That child was snatched by wild beasts—there's no way he could still be alive!"

Lin Xueyan wore a ferocious expression.

Others simply couldn't understand what they were saying.

"Xiao Hu, come over and let Lin Xueyan see how well you're doing!"

Ye Qingran beckoned to Mo Xiaohu.

Mo Xiaohu walked to Ye Qingran's side and took her hand.

A five‑year‑old, fair and tender. Over the years, though he wasn't with his parents, the Great Demons and Little Demons of Mo Yuan treated him extremely well, pampering him to heaven.

Thus, Mo Xiaohu has actually not had it so bad these years. Of course, aside from missing his parents. Oh, just missing his mother. As for his father, he merely misses him in passing.

During these few months of returning to Ye Qingran's side, he has been raised by her to be white and chubby, becoming ever more delicate and soft.

Fate is ultimately fair—it let Xiao Hu miss his parents, yet gave him an environment full of warmth and love, so he would not go astray and be lost in darkness early on.

Lin Xueyan looked at Mo Xiaohu, shocked to the point of despair.

Ye Qingran's meaning: this child called Mo Xiaohu is the one who was snatched by wild beasts five years ago?

This is impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

That child was clearly in her hand back then, snatched away by wild beasts!

How could he still be alive?

"Whoever dares to call Xiao Hu a Wild Offspring, this Venerable One will send him to hell!"

Fu Hanxiu's cold voice, carrying immense deterrent power, sounded behind Ye Qingran.

The vast Jin Luan Hall echoed with his magnetic, low‑pitched voice.

Everyone couldn't help but feel a jolt in their hearts.

Seeing the Emperor Sovereign of Chasing Deer Peak stride up to Mo Xiaohu, under the gaze of Mo Xiaohu's blinking eyes, he swept his long arm and scooped the little Xiao Hu into his embrace.

Perhaps because Mo Xiaohu is so small, being held in Fu Hanxiu's arms only accentuates the man's tall and imposing stature.

Mo Xiaohu looked at his father's chin and felt his father's embrace was so warm, so safe!

Is this what it feels like to be held by one's father?

Mo Xiaohu secretly rejoiced.

Next time he returns to Mo Yuan, he will surely bring his father—definitely impressive; his little companions will surely envy him greatly!

Fu Hanxiu lowered his gaze to look at the little one in his arms.

This is his son.

The child he and Ye Qingran conceived together!

It is their crystallization, and even more, the continuation of their bloodline!

Fu Hanxiu's heart softened; a benevolent father's smile appeared on his handsome face.

When he raised his chin again and his gaze swept over the crowd, his expression turned cold and ruthless once more.

"Xiao Hu is my son, the Young Lord of Chasing Deer Peak; from now on, whoever dares to call him a Wild Offspring, don't blame me for being impolite!"

His voice was full of domineering force, ringing out.

This is the Emperor Sovereign of Chasing Deer Peak, telling the entire Xuanmiao Continent.

Mo Xiaohu, is his son!

Everyone shuddered.

The Emperor Sovereign said Mo Xiaohu is his son, the Young Lord of Chasing Deer Peak!

Just because of this statement, who in the world would dare call him a Wild Offspring from now on? Unless they're tired of living!

"Your Majesty, you can't be deceived by Ye Qingran! She must be lying—that child died back then! Dead!"

Lin Xueyan shouted hysterically. This was her last straw.

Seeing Lin Xueyan so agitated, everyone harbored some doubt in their hearts.

Could it be that Mo Xiaohu is really not the Emperor Sovereign's child?

Has the Emperor Sovereign been deceived by Ye Qingran?

Fu Hanxiu's eyes were filled with bloodlust.

"I will make you completely give up!"

Fu Hanxiu put his son down, then walked to face the Soul-Attracting Pearl.

Seeing this, everyone knew the Emperor Sovereign intended to use the Soul-Attracting Pearl to test Mo Xiaohu's bloodline.

Could it be that Mo Xiaohu really is the Emperor Sovereign's child?

Back then, Ye Qingran didn't bear the Emperor Sovereign a son, but a pair?

With this suspicion, everyone stared unblinkingly at the Soul-Attracting Pearl.

Fu Hanxiu's big hand had already rested on the Soul-Attracting Pearl, but Mo Xiaohu hesitated to extend his hand.

"Don't be afraid, Xiao Hu." Fu Hanxiu said with a smile to Xiao Hu.

Xiao Hu wasn't afraid at all.

He had merely been thinking that if he placed his hand on the Soul-Attracting Pearl, everyone would know he wasn't lying, that he wasn't a fatherless wild offspring, that his father was Fu Hanxiu, the Emperor Sovereign of the Peak of Contending for the Deer, and that he also had a younger brother named Fu Qianchen.

It felt just like a dream!

Mo Xiaohu instinctively glanced at Ye Qingran beside him.

Ye Qingran gave a faint smile and nodded at him.

Mo Xiaohu finally extended his hand and placed it on the Soul-Attracting Pearl.

The Soul-Attracting Pearl trembled slightly, and a milky-white light burst forth, wrapping the father and son's arms—one large, one small—in white light.

After a few breaths, the light faded.

Everyone held their breath.

What result will the Soul-Attracting Pearl give, after all?

Will Mo Xiaohu really be the Emperor Sovereign's child?

Lin Xueyan's eyes were fixed unblinkingly on the Soul-Attracting Pearl.

She would trade ten years, no, twenty years of her lifespan for a negative result!

Heaven bless, it would have been best if the child snatched away back then had died five years ago!

This Mo Xiaohu is the product of Ye Qingran's illicit liaison with another man!

Even if she dies, she wants Ye Qingran to live in endless suffering!

However, her prayer ultimately went unfulfilled.

After a brief silence, the Soul-Attracting Pearl burst forth with blood-red light.

When the first blood-red light appeared before everyone's eyes, everything was already explained!
