Chapter 251 - Despicable Father (2/2)

Shen Ying: “…”

Calm down, Chef! No matter how despicable he is, he is your biological father. You can’t eat him!

“Hmph!” Long Zhen tutted. She remained expressionless. “Why are you now acknowledging him for the sake of it?”

Feng San paled. He sighed and walked toward her.. “Little Zhen, I…”

“Stop right there!” Long Zhen shot him a sharp glare. “Get away from me!”

Feng San had no choice but to retreat back to his original position. “I really didn’t know that the dragon egg was my son. You gave me an ultimatum that time. In a fit of anger, I decided to leave the Dragon Abyss and return to Wu Qi Mountain. Later, I heard that you had a kid… that’s why I thought!”

“You thought the child was someone else’s?” Long Zhen scoffed.

Feng San lowered his head like a child who knew he was in the wrong. “It’s all my fault. All these years, I did not dare to ask you myself. I’ve wronged you for so many years as a result.”

Long Zhen tutted and took a deep breath in to suppress the anger rising in her throat. She closed her eyes and said, “I don’t want to think about the past anymore. I just want to ask you why was there Yin Qi in my dragon egg.”

“I really don’t know anything about Yin Qi!” Feng San said anxiously. “I do know one or two ghost immortal, but I just chanced upon them the other time at the Yin River.”

“The Yin River?” Long Zhen paused. “When did you go to the Yin River?”

Feng San hesitated, realising that he had said something he was not supposed to. He subconsciously turned to the little child next to Shen Ying.

Long Zhen jumped, eyes widening. “You were the one who broke into the Underworld and sent the dragon spirit to Samsara?” Her expression changed. “How could it be? I pleaded with-”

“I told him not to say it,” Feng San sighed. “I know you very well. If you knew it was me, you may not have agreed to get help.”

Long Zhen fell silent. She hated him to the core then. How could she have accepted his help?

Feng San stepped forward, his emotions welling up in his eyes again. He sighed, “You don’t have to mind that. When I went to the Yin River that time, I got to know a couple of ghost immortals. Later, my body got infected by the death Qi from the Yin River. That triggered the ancient fire phoenix in my meridians and led to me ascending to become a Supreme Divinity. We could say it was a blessing in disguise.”

At the time, the dragon spirit in the egg was so weak that it could not have withstood any reincarnation sorcery. That was why they had to send the spirit to the Reincarnation Stage in the Underworld. In order to get there, they had to cross the Yin River.

Feng San spoke in a relaxed manner, but the water in that Yin River could always infect the souls of divine beings. There was nothing relaxing about it. He must have been backed to a corner when the ancient fire phoenix was triggered.

Long Zhen frowned. She could not figure out what exactly she was feeling. At first, she thought he let her down, refused to acknowledge their child, and so left the Dragon Abyss. She never thought that he was the one who sent the dragon spirit into Samsara!

“I really did not know how the Yin Qi got into the dragon egg,” Feng San lowered his voice and said warily. “But I promise you. I will help you find out. How’s that?”

Long Zhen glanced at him. Her expression was conflicted. She slowly relaxed, and then stiffened again. “No need!” She closed her eyes, then opened it with renewed determination. “On account of the fact that you were the one who sent my dragon baby to Samsara, I will forget what you owed me from before. I’ll figure out who put the Yin Qi in the egg myself!” She turned to leave.

“Little Zhen!” Feng San shouted. He ran in front of her and cast a spell to lockdown her position, then pulled her into his arms. “I will not let you leave me. All these years, you have been the only one in my heart.”

Long Zhen could not move but she glanced at him coolly and clenched her fists by her side.

Feng San continued, “Little Zhen, let’s not carry on with this wrong. Please trust me this once, alright?”

“Reporting to Supreme Divinity,” a voice said the moment Feng San finished speaking. “The 438th new madam has arrived. Should I arrange the rear hall?”

Feng San: “…”

Shen Ying: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Ah, his promise backfired so quickly.
