Chapter 962: with translation of chapter title
Don't bother the Ling Family Head with worry; the Ling Family Head should just manage his own son well, otherwise if he's gone one day, there'll be nowhere to cry.
Ye Qingran replied lightly.
"Are you seeking death?" Ling Qiye exuded killing intent all over, his gaze like a blade shooting toward Ye Qingran.
"Qiye!" The Ling Family Head timely stopped Ling Qiye.
Although Ling Qiye was very angry, he still knew his limits.
After the Ling family party left, Ye Qingran turned her gaze upstairs, her face slightly sinking.
Although she knew Xiao Chen wouldn't be in danger, Fu Hanxiu's abnormality exceeded her expectations, and she was somewhat worried.
"Mother, should we go up to find Xiao Chen?" Xiao Hu asked weakly; he felt his father had changed, making him feel unfamiliar.
Ye Qingran glanced at the two black-clothed guards at the stairwell, after a moment shook her head: "We can't go up."
Xiao Hu pouted, his face full of unhappiness: "Father is a big bad guy!"
Ye Qingran crouched, stroking Xiao Hu's face: "Xiao Hu, Father didn't mean it; he must have encountered something. Before we understand the truth, let's not be angry with Father, okay?"
Xiao Hu reluctantly agreed.
"The urgent matter is to figure out why your father doesn't remember us; let's work together to find the answer!"
Xiao Hu's expression eased considerably: "I also think Father didn't mean it, so I'll temporarily not be angry with him."
Ye Qingran and the others didn't leave the Wine House; instead, they found a seat and sat down.
Third floor of the Wine House.
In the elegant private room, a table was filled with dishes of color, fragrance, and flavor, plus fine wine.
The man indicated with his gaze the opposite seat.
"Sit."
Xiao Chen looked at the man before him, slightly furrowed his brow, didn't sit but lifted his head, his little face stubborn: "Put me down, I want Mother!"
The man didn't answer Xiao Chen's words, but sat elegantly opposite him, looking at Xiao Chen: "Is that woman your mother? Your biological mother?"
Upon hearing that, Xiao Chen became angry; does he not know whether that woman is his mother biologically, Father Lord?
"... Yes!" Still, Xiao Chen answered the question.
The man's eyes flickered slightly, as if in thought.
This child resembles him greatly, and that woman is the child's birth mother; doesn't that imply he and that woman had a past?
But he doesn't recall ever having anything with that woman; after all, he already has a beloved, so he couldn't betray her.
Xiao Chen sized up Fu Hanxiu, a gleam flashing in his eyes: "Where do you come from?"
"Me?" The man raised his sword brows: "I come from Moyu."
"Moyu?"
Xiao Chen's heart jolted. During this time, under his mother's influence, he had also gained some understanding of Xuyu. Moyu is the most mysterious of the five great realms of Xuyu, shrouded in mist since ancient times; for so many years, no demon race has emerged from it, and some even suspect the demon race has long been extinct. As for outsiders, although they can enter the mist, they can never leave, as if they had evaporated.
Yet Father Lord said he comes from Moyu!
Could it be that because of Moyu, Father Lord forgot them?
"Who are they?"
Xiao Chen pointed at the two black-clothed guards at the door.
"They are my subordinates."
"Are they of the Demon Race?"
"Demon Race? I suppose so."
Xiao Chen pondered. The Great Demons of Mo Yuan are different from these demon folk; it seems Moyu is indeed a place more mysterious than he imagined.
"That child just now also called me Father; is he also my child?"
Upon hearing that, Xiao Chen wanted to roll his eyes.
"If not yours, whose could it be?"
The man choked. This was the first time someone had spoken to him like that.
He recalled the child he had just seen; although not very similar, upon closer look there were still some resemblances.
His curiosity grew: when did he have a child with another woman?
Ye Qingran and the two others ordered a few dishes on the first floor; everyone no longer had the mood they had before coming out.
Ye Qingran even occasionally glanced toward the stairwell.
After half an hour, a sound came from the stairwell.
Ye Qingran followed the sound, saw a small figure descending the steps, she immediately stood up and shouted: "Xiao Chen!"
"Mother!" Upon hearing Ye Qingran's voice, Xiao Chen's face instantly broke into an excited smile.
Ye Qingran ran over and embraced Xiao Chen tightly: "Xiao Chen, are you alright?"
Xiao Chen shook his head vigorously: "Mother, I'm fine."
Ye Qingran brought Xiao Chen to the seat; Yun Zhonghe concernedly checked Xiao Chen's condition, and only after confirming he was truly unharmed did she let out a sigh of relief.
"What did you all talk about upstairs?"
Xiao Chen pondered briefly, then told Ye Qingran the information he had gathered upstairs just now.
"It seems his change is inseparable from Moyu."
Now Ye Qingran could basically confirm that Fu Hanxiu forgot them mother and son because of Moyu.
As for further details, she doesn't know.
"A Ran, what are your plans?"
Ye Qingran looked at Yun Zhonghe, shook her head: "The urgent matter is to deal with the Beast Clan."
She calculated that within these few days the Beast Clan would rush to Wànlíng Chéng, and they would inevitably clash with the Beast Clan.
"Dad, those people are really too arrogant; this matter can't just be left like that!"
Ling Qiye, upon thinking of the anger he had just suffered, became extremely furious.
Ling Qiye, when has he ever suffered such humiliation?
"Qiye, this matter ends here; we cannot afford to provoke those people!" said the Ling Family Head sternly.
"Why?"
"Because they are demons from Moyu!"
Ling Qiye froze.
"But didn't they say the demons of Moyu have already disappeared? Even if they're still alive, they couldn't possibly come out of the mist!"
The Ling Family Head narrowed his eyes and said, "Perhaps it wasn't possible before, but that doesn't mean it's not possible now. Don't you remember the recent disturbance in Moyu?"
Ling Qiye recalled that not long ago, black lights flickered in the depths of Moyu; those living near Moyu observed them, but no one knew what they signified.
The next day, at dusk, just as the sun disappeared below the horizon, a brilliant light rose from below.
The brilliant light forced the sky, which was about to turn dark, to reverse, turning night back into day!
The people of Wànlíng Chéng all witnessed this brilliant light, each showing shock; they had never seen such a strange phenomenon in their lifetimes.
"Is this, the Beast Flower?!"
"It seems the Beast Clan is arriving faster than we imagined!"
Lu Hongwei and the Ling Family Head exchanged a smile.
