Chapter 201 : The Hallmaster Wants to Get Married Off 17 (2/2)
Mother Shen was utterly stunned. “Shen Yaoguang, what are you saying? Damned girl, have you gone crazy?! Is the title of ‘direct daughter’ something you can give up just like that?!”
“Yep, giving it up.” Shi Sheng nodded with a sincere expression.
Mother Shen’s chest heaved up and down rapidly before she suddenly lifted her hand and swung her palm at Shi Sheng. ‘This rebellious daughter will be the death of me!’
Others fight for this position with their lives, but look at her! She simply gives it up! Just like that!’
Shi Sheng calmly caught Mother Shen’s wrist, her expression turningcold. “You brought me into this world, so I owe you one. I won’t pursue anything else, but if you dare to hit me, don’t blame me for being merciless.”
“Shen Yaoguang, you’ve really gone mad!” Mother Shen’s voice had risen several octaves. Her face was green as she spoke, “I am your mother! You dare to fight back against me?! Have all these years I’ve spent raising you gone to waste?!”
‘My Yaoguang used to be so obedient, it must’ve been that man who led her astray!’
Mother Shen disliked Bu Jingyun even more. ‘With that vixen-like face, what good can he even do?’
Shi Sheng smiled and spoke with a somewhat taunting tone, “You used me to to gain status in the Shen Clan. You weren’t the one who raised me. Truth be told, the only thing you’ve ever done for me was give birth to me.”
Mother Shen had only cared about fighting for Father Shen’s favour in her youth. Now that she had passed her prime, the only thing she wanted was to hold on to her status as Clan Mistress.
‘Other than giving birth to Shen Yaoguang, has she ever fulfilled her duty as a mother?
All these years, the only words Shen Yaoguang had ever heard from her were always along these lines:
“You’re the direct daughter of the Shen Clan.”
“You represent the Shen Clan.”
“You have to work hard.”
Blah blah blah…’
“Fine then! Your wings have hardened, have they? You’re not even going to listen to me anymore, are you?”
“Yep. My wings are pretty tough.” Shi Sheng nodded. ‘I can even ascend the heavens if I wanted to.’
Mother Shen’s blood pressure had already risen up in anger. She wished she could slap this rebellious daughter of hers, but her hand was still being held in Shi Sheng’s grip, so she could only snap at her angrily, “Shen Yaoguang, do you really think you’d amount to anything without the Shen Clan? Think you’re all that powerful compared to everyone else? After the rumours about you colluding with Nine Silences Hall started circulating, do you think you’d be able to stand here without the Shen Clan?!”
“I’ve got no problem with taking on the entire continent by myself.”
‘Besides, even if I can’t beat them, I can still bomb them, right? I’ve got a lot of explosives in storage, so it’d be an easy feat to blast this continent into a crater.’
Mother Shen was stunned by her words. ‘Is this insufferably arrogant person really my daughter?’
“Have it your way! I want to see how well you’ll do without the Shen Clan! Don’t come crying back to me!”
Shi Sheng released her grip on Mother Shen, retreating a step before dusting her hands off in obvious disgust. “Then make the announcement at the banquet later. It’ll save me a lot of trouble.”
Mother Shen had lost her rationality due to anger and agreed almost immediately, “Shen Yaoguang, you better not regret this!”
“Regret? I don’t know the meaning of the word.” Shi Sheng scoffed before turning to leave.
Only after Shi Sheng left did Mother Shen snap out of her rage. ‘What did I just say? The only leverage I have with the Shen Clan is Shen Yaoguang. Without her…’
Mother Shen didn’t dare continue that train of thought as she hurriedly tried to catch up to Shi Sheng.
Of course, Shi Sheng had already disappeared by now, causing Mother Shen to become so angry that her innards ached. She felt her world turn black as she passed out.
