Chapter 270

“Mom, you?!”

Long Chen’s jaw dropped as he looked at his mother in surprise .

Mrs . Long blushed, embarra.s.sed to be stared at like this by her son . She viciously cut at Long Tianxiao with her eyes, angrily saying, “It’s all your father’s fault . He really doesn’t know how to be decent . ”

Long Chen hadn’t noticed at first, but now he realized that his mother’s belly had swelled slightly . She had actually become pregnant!

Back when Mrs . Long had first miscarried, she had been filled with pain . Luckily, Long Tianxiao had brought back Long Chen just a few days later, filling that hole in Mrs . Long’s heart .

The two of them both treated him like a gift from the heavens, giving Long Chen all their love . But not long after, their Long family had been drawn into a conspiracy, and Long Tianxiao had been forced to stay away from the capital .

In reality, both Mrs . Long and Long Tianxiao were in the prime of their lives . Now that the storm had pa.s.sed and they were at peace, the two of them no longer needed to stay parted all the time . The two of them were actually delighted that she had become pregnant again .

“Congratulations dad, congratulations mom!” heartily laughed Long Chen .

Long Tianxiao laughed with him, but Mrs . Long turned even redder . Her son had already grown up, but she was still unwilling to let go off him .

“Mom, let me feel your pulse and let me see if you’re carrying a little brother or a little sister,” laughed Long Chen .

Mrs . Long had recovered slightly from her embarra.s.sment by now, and she shook her head . “Grandmaster has already helped me check . It’s a daughter . ”

Mrs . Long gently rubbed her belly, a loving light s.h.i.+ning on her face . “The heavens really have been kind to me . Even in my later years, they sent me a daughter . Everyone says that daughters are closest to their mothers . I really have been blessed . ”

“A little sister, excellent!” Long Chen nodded . His mother was just an ordinary mortal incapable of cultivating . She was approaching her forties . For her to become pregnant at such a time really was a kind gift from the heavens .

With a child by his mother’s side, she wouldn’t spend all her days worrying about him . She would be able to pa.s.s her days much happier .

“Aiya, we’ve been talking so much, I forgot about our guests!” Mrs . Long really had been too happy, and had completely forgotten about Chu Yao and Tang Wan-er .

“No problem, they’re all family,” laughed Long Chen .

Long Chen had only said this without thinking about it, and Chu Yao was completely fine with it . But Tang Wan-er blushed . Obviously calling her family caused her to feel a bit odd . Her heart was pounding, but a trace of joy appeared in her eyes .

“Aunt Long, Long Chen’s right . There’s no guests here, only family . ” Chu Yao came up and wrapped her arm around Mrs . Long’s arm . “This isn’t an outsider, but a close female friend from Long Chen’s sect, Tang Wan-er . ”

Long Chen was startled . Close female friend? When did that happen?

“Wan-er greets aunt Long . ” Tang Wan-er hastily paid her respects . She appeared bashful and graceful, a completely different display from how fiery she was with Long Chen normally .

“Haha, what a beautiful maiden . It’s rare to find someone so cute, sensible, and sweet-tempered . Ah, your character’s very similar to Yao-er! Long Chen, you bad child, what are you secretly laughing about?”

Seeing Long Chen was doing his best to hold back his laughter to the side, Mrs . Long held onto Tang Wan-er’s hand and demanded .

Long Chen really was unable to hold back his laughter . How could ‘cute, sensible, and sweet-tempered’ be used to describe Tang Wan-er?

“Uh, you guys can talk for now . I won’t bother you any longer . I’ll go talk with dad . ” Long Chen knew he would definitely get unequal treatment if he stayed here with these three women . He quickly went over to where his dad was .

Arriving beneath an old tree in the rear court, Long Chen and Long Tianxiao sat atop a stone bench . Long Tianxiao looked up at that old tree and sighed .

“Time really pa.s.ses quickly . I still remember when you were just a snot-nosed child holding that wooden sword, constantly challenging me to a duel . Now you’ve already grown up, reaching a level that even I, your father, can only look up to . ”

Long Tianxiao looked at Long Chen . His gaze contained pride, but it also contained a trace of sorrow . Although Long Tianxiao was a magnanimous person, it was impossible for a father to completely hold back his deep love for his child .

Long Chen felt a burst of emotion as he remembered how when he was young, his father would accompany him under this tree, playing with him and teaching him how to use the sword while his mother watched and laughed to the side .

Now he had grown stronger, so strong that he could easily subdue an entire empire . But that kind of joy from his childhood would never return again .

That was something being more powerful was incapable of fixing . This was just the cruelness of time . As time pa.s.sed, it continuously pushed people forward . Once a moment had pa.s.sed, it was impossible to return to .

“Son, your father cannot help you with anything in terms of cultivation . But there is one thing you have to remember . The more powerful a person becomes, the easier it will be for them to lose their original heart .

“So you absolutely can’t have any intentions of being some lonely dominator . Otherwise, the further you walk, the fewer people you will have walking beside you . Eventually you will be all alone, becoming a violent, tyrannical monster who will only believe in your own strength . That will lead you down the Devil path . ” Long Tianxiao was extremely grave .

The reason Long Tianxiao gave this warning to Long Chen was because Long Chen always laid his inner heart bare to him . He could sense that there was a terrifying, tyrannical aura within Long Chen’s bones . That was a desire that wished to destroy the entire world .

If Long Chen were to allow that desire to overcome his senses, then Long Chen really might end up falling onto the Devil path, becoming a true demon king .
