Chapter 639: From now on, Nangong Mo lives for Ye Qingran!

You unfilial wretch, it seems my years of lax discipline have made you so arrogant and self‑righteous!

Nan Gong Cang's eyes flashed like lightning, his expression cold and severe; if Nangong Mo weren't 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, sturdy guards from Huangjin City began walking toward Nangong Mo.

"Are you planning to put me under house arrest, City Lord?" Nangong Mo's heart had turned so cold he no longer wished 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 emanated a terrifying aura that made those who came to seize him dare not approach.

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

Nan Gong Cang was furious beyond restraint.

Seeing the already terrible father‑son relationship 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 condense Golden Battle Armor, regaining Nan Gong Cang's favor and thus 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.

The position of Huangjin City Lord truly meant nothing to him!

All he wanted was for his family to live together happily and contentedly.

Even such a simple wish had always been a luxury.

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

In this world, who doesn't like power? Especially the post of Huangjin City Lord—who knows how many in Beimingzhou covet it!

How could Nangong Mo possibly not covet it?

He simply didn't believe it!

After 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 Shangguan Rong had killed his mother, he had not believed it.

Later he told him that Shangguan Rong had ruined his legs, and he still did not believe it.

Now he told him that he had never coveted the position of City Lord, yet he still did not believe it.

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

If the disappointment accumulated over the years has already left him utterly disillusioned with this father, then today's conversation became the final straw that broke the camel's back.

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

When Nangong Mo lifted his eyes again, their depths 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 creature!" Nan Gong Cang's eyes widened, hardly able to believe those words came from Nangong Mo's mouth.

Of course, he has many offspring, so whether Nangong Mo exists or not makes little difference; but for Nangong Mo to dare declare before so many that he wishes to cut ties with his father is undoubtedly a slap to his face!

He is the Lord of Huangjin City—when has he ever suffered such insult?

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

He brandished his 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 kindness and righteousness, strangers to each other!"

How resolute!

Nan Gong Cang was startled as well.

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

Shangguan Rong, however, flashed a gleeful smile.

That 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 shuddered all over, a supreme chill enveloping her, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

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

His purpose was clear: to kill Shangguan Rong!

He struck swiftly, like lightning.

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 condensed Golden Battle Armor!

To make sure he wasn't mistaken, he glanced at Nan Gong Han and saw he too wore a Golden Battle Armor, only then fully confirming it.

Nangong Mo, he truly condensed 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, burning his bridges; on the other side Nan Gong Cang's stunned spirit, ultimately…

Pfft~

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

Shangguan Rong's pupils contracted to a point, reflecting Nangong Mo's death‑like visage.

She never even dreamed she'd die so suddenly, and that it would be at the hands of a waste she had always despised!

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

Nan Gong Cang only then came to his senses.

"Rong'er?!"

Realizing, Nan Gong Cang shouted, rushed to act, but it was already too late.

"Rebel son! What have you done?!"

Nan Gong Cang's eyes bulged with rage. Shangguan Rong was the woman he loved most. And she was killed by Nangong Mo!

Nangong Mo, however, raised his spear and laughed skyward.

"Hahaha~"

Mother, I have finally avenged you!

Nangong Mo laughed, and tears fell one by one, sinking into the dust.

But why couldn't he feel joy?

Indeed, what does killing Shangguan Rong achieve?

His mother will never return!

The suffering she endured while alive will never lessen!

"Ah!!!" Nangong Mo let out a sky‑piercing howl, his voice shaking the heavens.

His heart full of resentment turned into a surging sound wave, which finally vanished without a trace!

Nan Gong Cang had originally been tangled over the Golden Battle Armor issue, unsure how to deal with Nangong Mo; now, seeing him kill Shangguan Rong like a madman, he gradually realized that this son had, at some point, already slipped beyond his control!

What use is a descendant who doesn't obey him?

Better... to erase!

"Rebel son, you should die!"

Nan Gong Cang squinted, let out a low growl, and charged at Nangong Mo.

Nangong Mo merely cast a faint glance at Nan Gong Cang, his eyes untroubled, neither dodging nor evading, bearing a demeanor of calmly meeting death.

There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.

His heart is already dead.

Then what meaning does living have?

However, what he didn't see was that when Nan Gong Cang struck, Ye Qingran also struck!

"Who are you?" Just as Nan Gong Cang was about to close in on Nangong Mo, a figure blocked his path.

"I am his lifesaver," Ye Qingran said calmly.

Lifesaver?

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

Ye Qingran turned her back to him, tilted her face slightly, and said, "I expended a great effort to heal your legs, and you just die like this—does that repay me?"

Nangong Mo's eyes, once like still water, now held a glimmer of light.

He again heard Ye Qingran say, "Your life now belongs to me; I won't let you die, so you must live properly for me!"

That's so domineering.

Nangong Mo's nearly stagnant heartbeat suddenly surged.

In that instant, he seemed to have found a reason to live.

"Fine." He flashed her a smile, as brilliant as a star‑filled river.

From now on, Nangong Mo will live for Ye Qingran!
