Chapter 638: From now on, Gong Mo lives for Ye Qingran!

You unfilial child, it seems that these years I have lacked discipline over you, which has caused you to be so arrogant and self‑righteous!

Nan Gong Cang's eyes flashed like lightning, his expression cold and severe; if Nangong Mo were not his son, he would have already killed him.

"Someone, take him back to Huangjin City for me; without my permission, he is not allowed to leave Huangjin City a single step!"

As Nan Gong Cang's words fell, a burly guard from Huangjin City walked toward Nangong Mo.

"My lord, are you planning to put me under house arrest?" Nangong Mo had grown so cold‑hearted he didn't even want to call him "father."

"I am your father; whatever I tell you to do, you obey!" Nan Gong Cang shouted.

Several people, expressionless, had already approached Nangong Mo.

"Who dares!"

Nangong Mo's brows sank, and he burst forth with a terrifying aura, making those who came to seize him dare not draw near.

"You rebellious son, do you still intend to revolt?"

Nan Gong Cang was furious beyond restraint.

Seeing that the already poor father‑son relationship was about to turn into open enmity, the one most pleased was Shangguan Rong.

She had originally been worried that Nangong Mo's legs would heal and he could again condense the Golden Battle Armor, thereby regaining Nan Gong Cang's favor and replacing her own child, Nan Gong Han.

Now it seems she was overthinking.

In the end, Nangong Mo was still completely abandoned by Nan Gong Cang!

"If I say I have never coveted that position, would you believe me?" Nangong Mo lowered his eyes, his voice faint as a breeze.

What matters is the lordship of Huangjin City—he truly doesn't care!

All he wants is for the family to live together happily and joyfully.

Even such a simple wish has always been a luxury.

Nan Gong Han blinked slightly, then frowned and retorted, "Do you yourself believe it?"

In this world, who doesn't like power? Especially the position of lord of Huangjin City—countless people in Beimingzhou covet it!

How could Nangong Mo possibly not covet it?

He simply doesn't believe it!

Upon hearing that, Nangong Mo let out a low laugh.

He knew that no matter what he said, his father would not believe him.

Just as when he once told him that Lady Shangguan Rong had killed his mother, he did not believe it.

Afterwards he told him again that Shangguan Rong had crippled his legs, and he still did not believe it.

Now he tells him that he has never coveted the lordship of Huangjin City, yet he still does not believe it.

Perhaps in his life, he is merely a dispensable existence.

If the disappointment accumulated over these years has already made him utterly disappointed in his father, then today's conversation is the final straw that breaks the camel's back.

He, Nangong Mo, from today onward will harbor no illusions whatsoever toward his father!

When Nangong Mo lifted his eyes again, the depths of his gaze were calm and waveless.

"If that's the case, then Nan Gong Cang, let us… sever our father‑son ties!"

"What are you saying? You wretched spawn!" Nan Gong Cang's eyes widened; he could scarcely believe these words came from Nangong Mo's mouth.

Of course, he has many offspring, so whether Nangong Mo exists or not makes little difference to him; but for Nangong Mo to dare declare before so many people that he wishes to cut ties with his father is nothing short of slapping him in the face!

As the lord of Huangjin City, when has he ever suffered such insult?

"You gave me life, yet you never raised me..." Nangong Mo whispered softly, then did something no one expected...

He brandished his long spear and severed his own arm!

Blood spattered!

A shocking sight!

Everyone's gaze froze!

"If so, with this severed arm as proof, I, Nangong Mo, and you, Nan Gong Cang, from now on shall be severed in grace and righteousness, strangers to each other!"

How resolute!

Even Nan Gong Cang was startled.

He thought Nangong Mo was just talking idly, never imagining he would actually dare to do it!

Shangguan Rong, however, flashed a hint of excited smile.

This foolish Nangong Mo actually dares to break ties with Nan Gong Cang—nothing short of seeking his own death!

Without Huangjin City's protection, what does he have to rely on? She could crush him as easily as squashing an ant!

Yet at that very moment, Nangong Mo's hawk‑like gaze shot over, sharp and icy, like the eyes of a death god.

Shangguan Rong's whole body shuddered; an extreme chill enveloped her, making her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

Nangong Mo unleashed the full potential of his golden bloodline, condensing the Golden Battle Armor and greedily drinking in the energy of the Mending Heaven Stone.

His purpose was clear—to kill Shangguan Rong!

He struck with lightning speed.

Nan Gong Cang, still shocked that Nangong Mo dared to sever ties with him, and then seeing his Golden Battle Armor, momentarily forgot to react.

"How could this...?"

Nan Gong Cang's mood at this moment was beyond shocked.

Nangong Mo actually managed to condense the Golden Battle Armor!

To make sure he wasn't mistaken, he glanced at Nan Gong Han and saw that he too wore a Golden Battle Armor, which finally confirmed it.

Nangong Mo, he really did condense the Golden Battle Armor!

For a moment, Nan Gong Cang began to doubt whether his earlier decision had been correct...

On one side, Nangong Mo seized the moment, went all-in; on the other side, Nan Gong Cang was dazed, and finally...

Pfft~

The long spear pierced Shangguan Rong's chest, crushing her heart, and finally the spear tip protruded from her back!

Shangguan Rong's pupils shrank to a point, her eyes reflecting the image of Nangong Mo like a god of death.

She never imagined she would die so suddenly, let alone at the hands of the trash she always looked down upon!

"Mother!" Nan Gong Han widened his eyes and shouted.

Nan Gong Cang then came to his senses.

"Rong-er?!"

Having reacted, Nan Gong Cang shouted loudly, hurriedly struck, but it was already too late.

"Unfilial son! What have you done?!"

Nan Gong Cang's eyes almost burst. Shangguan Rong was the woman he loved most. And just like that, she was killed by Nangong Mo!

Nangong Mo, however, raised his long spear and laughed to the heavens.

Hahaha~

"Mother, I have finally avenged you!"

Laughing and laughing, tears fell drop by drop, sinking into the dust.

But why could he not feel happy?

Yeah, what does it matter that he killed Shangguan Rong?

His mother would never come back!

The suffering she endured while alive would never diminish!

"Ah!!!" Nangong Mo let out a long howl to the heavens, his voice shaking the vast sky.

His chest-full of resentment turned into a surging sound wave, ultimately vanishing without a trace.

Nan Gong Cang had originally been troubled over the matter of the Golden Battle Armor, wondering how to treat Nangong Mo; but now, seeing him kill Shangguan Rong and act like a madman, he gradually realized that this son had at some point already escaped his control!

What use is there in keeping an offspring who doesn't obey?

Better yet... exterminate!

"Unfilial son, you deserve to die!"

Nan Gong Cang narrowed his eyes, let out a low growl, and charged at Nangong Mo to kill him.

Nangong Mo merely glanced lightly at Nan Gong Cang, his eyes calm, neither dodging nor avoiding, presenting a composed attitude of facing death.

Nothing is greater sorrow than the death of the heart.

His heart had already died.

Then what meaning is there in living?

However, what he didn't see was that, when Nan Gong Cang made his move, Ye Qingran also acted!

"Who are you?" As Nan Gong Cang was about to approach Nangong Mo, a figure blocked his path.

"I am his lifesaver." Ye Qingran said leisurely.

"A lifesaver?"

Nangong Mo seemed to finally react, casting a bewildered gaze toward Ye Qingran.

Ye Qingran turned her back to him, slightly turned her face, and said to him: "I went to great lengths to heal your legs, and you just die like that—how can you face me?"

Nangong Mo's eyes, which were like dead water, gained a glimmer of light.

And Ye Qingran said: "Your life is now mine; I won't let you die, so you must live well for me!"

That's quite overbearing.

Nangong Mo's almost-stalled heartbeat suddenly jumped.

At that moment, he seemed to have found the meaning to go on living.

"Good." He smiled at her, like a brilliant galaxy.

From now on, he, Nangong Mo, lives for Ye Qingran!
