Chapter 661
(Unedited)
…
Two crying women could be heard inside the room, while the expression of a handsome young man sitting outside in the living room showed complex emotion.
Susan Tang and Qin Lou showed angry expressions on their faces as they throw angry glances at Shin Jiao for not telling them the whole truth. When they received the information, the two of them seem to have the same flow of thought as they knew that something is wrong.
However, Shin Jiao just calmly sit there and did not move. He just let them vent their anger towards him.
After a while, the two calmed down and sit quietly on the sofa while looking at Shin Jiao with tears in their eyes.
”Sigh… I told you the information because I wanted you to be able to ascend like me. I cannot stop it anymore. I will be taken by an old monk a month from now. So…”
”Enough… if you have a month to stay then spend it with us. Do not go anywhere anymore. Plus, Sister Susan is going to give birth soon.”
”I know… three days from now.” Shin Jiao said with a smile.
When the two ladies heard his words, they both showed happiness in their eyes. This is especially true for Susan as she is a bit excited to be a mother.
The two did not hold on to this issue and just busied themselves preparing for the coming of Shin Jiao's daughter.
That night two figures could be seen standing on a cliff outside the city. Shin Jiao and his son, Ju-long Jiao decided to have a father and son talk.
”Father… I am happy that you took my mother away from that palace. That place is too chaotic. Too much politics and bickering, mom is always annoyed in that place that's why she would always go out and visit Shin City.”
”It is my responsibility… I'm just regretful for not being there when she was having you.”
”Hmm… It's okay. She always told me a lot of things about you. That's why I never really resent you.”
”Sigh… I can't believe that the heavens are going to let me ascend this early. I'm not an old man yet you know…”
”Pfft… I know that you are, very powerful, father. And that I am proud of. I will work hard to be as strong as you are. I will work on my physique. I will make it worthy to enter the immortal land.”
”Don't be hasty… take it, line upon line, little by little… that way your foundation would be stronger than others.”
The two began to discuss cultivation techniques as Shin Jiao guided his young son on how to improve one's physique.
…
3 days later…
A new member of Shin Jiao's family was born. However, something happened that he didn't expect. Fate made its move.
Shin Jiao was monitoring the vitals of Susan Tang. She was fine and although the labor was very hard, she was still able to bear a beautiful child. Everyone is in jubilation upon hearing the news that the baby is fine.
Susan showed a pale complexion after giving birth. But her vitals show that she is doing fine.
Taking the baby in his arms, Shin Jiao felt very happy to be a father. It is his first time holding a newborn child of his own and it made his heart warm.
”Look, she has your eyes, and… she looks really looks like you.” Shin Jiao happily said while showing the baby to Susan who is showing him an affectionate look.
But suddenly Shin Jiao showed a faint concern in his expression. For some unknown reason, he could feel that the vital energy of Susan Tang is slowly depleting. No matter how hard he tried to scan her body, he could not detect what is wrong.
And this made him feel panic.
”No… this cannot be…” he muttered.
His words shock the doctors on the operating table. They didn't know why their city lord is in panic, and they too could not detect what is happening.
”Susan… Susan, don't let go… okay… Don't… let go… I… I can't let you go just like this...”
”Sssh… It's okay… I just feel weak… really weak… Shin… Shin… I feel that something is calling me… it's… it's… the lights… beautiful… the light, they are really beautiful…”
”Nooo…! Don't go to the light! Don't let go yet… you promised to be with me… you promised to come and meet me in the immortal world… you cannot go yet… Susan…”
Shin Jiao became frantic that even the doctors and nurses inside the operating room were dumbfounded. They could see that everything is fine. However, from the looks of it, the patient's life force is slowly getting weaker and weaker.
”What the hell is happening?!” shouted Shin Jiao as he suddenly enveloped everything with his domain.
When he did that everyone was engulfed, and even those outside could feel that they are trapped in very strong power.
Shin Jiao then saw that it was Susan Tang's soul. Her soul is slowly being extracted by some invisible power. A power that even with Shin Jiao's strength, he is still unable to stop everything from happening.
”Who are you?! How dare you do this to my wife?!” shouted Shin Jiao in anger.
