Chapter 196: Family Troubles (1/2)

Pah!

The doors to access the throne room were violently opened, as a woman came desperately running.

”AAAAAAHHHHHH!!! My son!”

She ran towards a body that was covered with white sheets and lying on top of a mattress, quickly crouching down and hugging it, trying to feel his warmth; however, he was long dead and cold.

”My Son! Shaohui my son!”

Her face was wet with her tears of despair as she kept wailing and mourning for her dead son. Her heart was bleeding, something that she never felt even once for her useless daughter. She had a wicked form of love, but it was genuine; at least regarding her son.

”AAAAA!!! Ahhh!”

After a lot of time passed by, she was finally able to stop crying and wailing, but her grief still remained.

Suddenly, she raised her head to look at a man that was comfortably sitting on his throne.

”You! If not for you sending him there, none of this would have happened!”

The king furrowed his eyebrows in displeasure and asked: ”Are you implying that his death was my fault?”

”Your fault! Your goddam fault!”

Pah!

The king suddenly appeared beside her, slapping her face with force. She stumbled and almost fell because of the force he applied of that slap.

”Do you think I wanted him to die at that place?”

Pah!

He slapped her once more and said: ”It was his fault for being weak and useless. I've put my faith on him, thinking that he would be able to grow and surpass his brother, but it turned out that he was just as useless as his sister!”

Pah!

Wu Cuifen spat some blood and fell on the floor after being hard slapped like that. She never thought the king would hit her, but those slaps didn't hurt as much as he telling her, that their son was useless and weak.

A fierce light passed through her eyes as she stood up and slowly left the throne room.

The king returned to his throne and rested his head on his hands. He didn't seem to have been affected by his son's death, but by something else. And that something else, was the situation that happened outside the Misty Horizon city. He had many sons and daughter, but there was only one Skystone mine such as the one on the Blazing Phoenix Country.

”Imperial Guards!”

Seconds after he shouted for the guards, they appeared ready to serve their king.

”Take him out of here and bury him on the imperial graveyard!”

The Wu Martial Kingdom had won the war, but the sequence of facts was so strange, that the king wasn't able to celebrate the victory.

Knock! Knock!

”Dongmei! Please go open the door to see who is the person coming this time at night.”

Chun Chuanli was sitting comfortably in a chair while reading some documents regarding the things that had just recently happened in the outside world.

The Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary was a very comfortable and big place and contrary to what it seemed to be; the Main Sanctuary is just a small part of the whole Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary total territory.

Everyone living there, actually lived on the sect area designed for that. The only person allowed inside the Main Sanctuary, was the Sanctuary Master.

Dongmei went to open the door and receive the uninvited guest.

However, after she opened it, she was surprised by the person that came to visit them.

”Dongmei? Who is it? Who's the inconvenient person that came to bother our resting time?”

When she heard Chuanli's words, Dongmei felt her face heating up with embarrassment. If he had said that about anyone else but the person in front of her, she wouldn't feel even a tenth of the embarrassment she was feeling right now.

”I'm sorry Sanctuary Master. Chuanli doesn't like to be bothered when he is resting.”

”Ahaha, don't worry about it. Can I come inside?”

”O-Of course! Please come in!”
