— Chapter 106 —

Dark and exhausted.

That’s all I can feel right after sacrificing myself to Brother Hao.

He and our son should be safe now.

Hehe, at least they are safe.

Then, I slowly felt my body recovering from the exhaustion, though I couldn’t move nor make a sound.

I don’t know how long time has passed because I lost count after an hour in this darkness.

I’m afraid.

It’s cold.

Brother Hao, where are you?

I need your warmth! Even if it’s just a little!

The darkness trembled as I finally saw the glimmer of light. I was planted shallowly on the ground, and my roots couldn’t pierce through the hard rocks beneath.

The vibration I felt was actually a waterfall.

As for the light, it was the weak sunlight. It barely pierced into the rock gap above me.

Even then, I’m a little happy. The sunlight is weak, but it warms my new body.

Where am I? My weak consciousness couldn’t support my thoughts for too long. All I could identify was that I was inside a dark cave with minimum access to sunlight, water, and my fellow blue silver grass.

If I can communicate with them, I could recover faster.

Then, a peculiar thought flashed in my mind.

Why didn’t Brother Hao plant me in the Blue Silver Forest?

Unfortunately, darkness greeted me once again.

I’m too weak to live, let alone have complex thoughts.

However, once in a blue moon, Brother Hao would come.

He didn’t say much.

He only drank wine and rambled about how he failed to protect me and our son. His words warmed my heart, giving me hope to endure this torturous state.

I wish I could tell Brother Hao to place my body somewhere else with enough sunlight and reachable water, but I couldn’t make a noise or my body.

I sighed in helplessness, but sensing his presence made me content.

At least I’m not alone, hehe~!

Month after month passed, and winter came.

I hadn’t seen Brother Hao for a while, and the temperature dropped sharply, making my weak body tremble often.

Sunlight! I need sunlight! God, please give me some sunlight!

Brother Hao, please, take me away from this place!

Please, don’t leave me alone here!

…

…

A year passed quickly.

I successfully endured the harshness of winter by imagining myself with Brother Hao and our son. Yes, I used the distraction to survive that long season. My body might be cold, but my soul couldn’t be warmer.

Hehe, I wonder how cute our son is right now.

He must be growing healthy and warm, right?

Five more years, and he could awaken his martial soul.

I wonder what kind of martial soul our son will awaken?

If our son awakened Brother Hao’s Clear Sky Hammer, he would become a strong man who could protect our family.

But my martial soul, Blue Silver Emperor, isn’t horrible either.

With the Blue Silver Emperor, our son will become a representation of both humans and spirit beasts. I know it’s naive, but I hope he could be the peacemaker between the two races.

The one who leads two races to greatness!

…

…

Another year passed.

Brother Hao visited me a month ago. He was drunk again, claiming he did nothing wrong.

Of course, it’s Spirit Hall’s fault!

But that’s it.

Brother Hao only stared at me in silence before disappearing into a waterfall.

My body also grew weaker as I showed a sign of wilting.

Who would have thought I, the emperor of my clan, would experience the same fate as any other blue silver grass? How ironic, considering I should be their hope and leader to become a powerhouse among the spirit beasts.

I’m sorry, my fellow blue silver clan, I have failed your expectations!

Then, the winter hit again.

I prepared myself for the coldness, but no amount of distraction could get me out of this hell.

Crying and screaming are useless.

If possible, I wish burning my body was an option for a sliver of warmth.

The winter is so long.

…

…

Another year passed.

My consciousness is now barely able to support my thoughts. I felt like I could disappear at any moment.

Three torturous years passed. The sliver of sunlight from the gap in the cave warms my weak body.

This rare moment felt like a gift from the gods to me.

I thanked them so much in my heart.

And finally, Brother Hao came again.

Once again, he’s also drunk.

He called my name this time.

I’m so happy!

However, the happiness didn’t last long because Brother Hao thought I was dead.

He only kept me here as a reminder!

How could this be? I’m sure I told him about the Blue Silver Emperor’s immortality trait. As long as Brother Hao planted my seed in the right place and condition, I could return to my prime.

It was years ago, but he should have remembered, right?

I tried to recall that hazy memory. Was Brother Hao asleep when I told him about this ability of mine?

No, that can’t be!

Brother Hao was a good listener.

I don’t know how, but the seed of doubts grew in my heart.

…

…

Three years passed.

I tried to recall as much memory as possible while I was conscious, but the more I recall, the more afraid I became.

The current Brother Hao is a drunkard. He used to drink a lot, but this was too much. He also kept his appearance unkempt, not like Brother Hao I knew.

What happened? I know my death was a blow to him, but shouldn’t he set an example for our son?

Brother Hao, you can’t let our son astray!

Huff! Huff! Calm down, me.

I know my son will awaken his martial soul soon.

After all, six years have passed.

Unfortunately, I don’t know how long it would take for Brother Hao to come back.

…

…

One year later.

I felt so weak.

I felt like a single tug would end my life.

However, I know I can’t give up!

I HAVE TO FIGHT!

I HAVE TO BE STRONG FOR MYSELF!

FOR BROTHER HAO!

FOR OUR SON!

“I-I must be strong…” My weak consciousness barely allowed me to think this.

Suddenly, I sensed a vibration. It was footsteps from a new yet familiar presence, too.

I couldn’t communicate with this person, but I knew he was a good person.

“Sunlight can’t even reach this place.” I heard this person’s young yet resonant voice.

“Look at you, you’re so weak…”

Do you know me?

“So miserable.”

Heh, I’m miserable.

“But don’t worry, I’ll get you out of this hell.”

Am I dreaming?

“Still, the most important thing is…”

“We finally met again, Mother.”

If I had a heart right now, I would feel a throb. Even then, my heart stirs with excitement.

“I-Is that you, San’er?”

Then, I blacked out.

…

…

Comfortable.

I gradually gained consciousness again. My body also recovered faster than ever, showing a sign of returning to my ideal state.

Of course, I’m still far from returning to my human form, but I’m infinitely better than before.

What a rich environment!

I looked around with my plant’s senses, sensing dangerously opposing forces near me. The exceptionally pure ice and fire sources made my heart flutter in panic.

Weirdly enough, the polarized energy produced by these two extremes helped my recovery a lot.

As expected of my son, he knew his mother the best~!

Ah, too bad, I don’t know when San’er would look for me again.

I also missed Brother Hao.

However, to my own surprise, San’er or a boy visited me sooner than expected.

Although I couldn’t see him, I could feel him.

He was young but taller than kids his age.

He has a handsome face, growing spiky black hair, and deep black eyes with silver pupils.

He looks neither like me nor Brother Hao!

Confusion swallowed my senses.

Who is this kid?

The boy didn’t say anything for a while before sitting and summoning his martial soul. I was in disbelief because his martial soul was a mutated blue silver grass!

Above all else, his martial soul possessed my origin, Blue Silver Emperor, and another strong plant-type spirit beast that I couldn’t recall at the back of my head.

Then, the boy opened his mouth.

“You know… Ah Yin, I didn’t expect to meet you like this…”

He knew my name, but he’s not my son.

How weird.

I was amused, maybe because I felt closeness from his mutated blue silver grass.

“We were supposed to be mother and son before Asura God stole my body and let a faker take it away from me…”

Wait! What do you mean?!

Mother and son?

Asura God?

Faker?!

The boy chuckled bitterly, “Do you know how happy I am when I know you’re my mother? I still remember your warmth and care for me in the womb.”

“You used to crave mango, but that bastard Tang Hao got you pears instead, making your stomach and me in the womb upset!”

“He knew you dislike pears, but he still gets them for you anyway…”

“Inconsiderate fuck!”

Son, language!

Although the boy complained and shocked me, I couldn’t help but feel it was the truth because he told a specific story that only Brother Hao and I knew.

At the same time, I can feel despair and anger creeping into my soul.

I started questioning my reality.

But when I wanted to know more, the boy sighed and left.

At least tell me more about Asura God and that faker first!

From that day on, the boy would visit me once a week.

He will tell me a story about a weird world of immortal and constantly occurring young masters.

He will also complain about Asura God, who sabotaged his reincarnation and replaced him with another soul.

I was shocked.

Han Yuan was actually a reincarnated person! And he was supposed to be my son?

But my shock didn’t last long.

He said there are many types of reincarnations, and his case was the most natural one because he reincarnated as a newborn baby.

He didn’t seize my son’s body.

BECAUSE HE IS MY SON!

OUR FATES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE INTERTWINED!

I am angry!

How could you treat my baby boy like this?

Don’t let me find you, ASURA!

…

…

Then, We bonded silently.

He told me his wonder, and I listened to everything patiently. But the more I knew, the more I felt everything about this world was fake.

I’m just a pawn in Asura’s scheme.

My life, my life, and my story were ‘literally’ orchestrated by that damned god!

Tang Hao’s not-so-impressive charm somehow blinded me, abandoning my goals and pride as an emperor of my clan.

How can I be so blind?

Me and Han Yuan suffered too much!

My poor baby!

He was about to live another life.

A good life, where he can be a new light in my life and this world, but Asura and that faker took everything from us!

HOW COULD YOU FUCKERS DO THIS TO US!!!

AAAAAAAARRGHHHHH!

Deep inside, I felt something changing.

My origin as the Blue Silver Emperor has changed to be much more colder, noble, and dangerous.

But I don’t care.

All I could feel right now was anger!

My baby boy, Han Yuan, looked up and said, “Ah Yin, if you somehow listen to this, I hope you forgive me…”

“I will do everything to get my revenge…”

“Your feelings for Tang Hao might not change, but I will surely kill him alongside Asura and Tang San.”

NO! LET ME DO IT!

LET ME KILL THOSE FUCKERS!

IT’S TOO DANGEROUS FOR YOU! NO ONE CAN HARM MY BABY!

I WILL DO EVERYTHING NOT TO BE SEPARATED FROM YOU, XIAO YUAN!

My body suddenly awakened its latent power. It’s a power that shouldn’t exist in the Blue Silver Emperor or this era, but the darkness has crept into my soul too much.

The despair and rage I experienced is not something my Blue Silver Empress’s origin could endure, so I adapt!

That day, I evolved.

No, to be precise, my love for Han Yuan allowed me to evolve!

I have no mouth right now, but I must scream!

I SWORE ON MY SOUL THAT MOMMY WILL MAKE THINGS RIGHT FOR HER BABY!

…

…

Power.

I grew stronger every day.

Whenever I watched Han Yuan grow older, I felt joy in my soul.

My baby is becoming more handsome.

Three years have passed since Han Yuan planted me in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

He said he had to break through to the Spirit Emperor, and I was proud of his achievement.

I felt his breakthrough miles away, sending my own life energy to trigger his Flame of Life.

At the same time, I also transformed into my human form due to my strong connection between my Blue Silver Emperor and his Purple Silver Grass.

I have fully recovered!

Then, my baby arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well a while later.

He walked to my location and looked at my human form with a stunned and elated expression.

I smiled warmly at him, “My baby…”

“Come here, come and hug your mother.

“You’re back…” Han Yuan’s body moved on its own as he walked and embraced my body tightly, afraid of losing me again.

Aww, my baby is so sweet~!

“I am back, baby…” I hugged him back, pouring my longing and love into him.

I kissed his forehead with deep, motherly tenderness, “I’ve been waiting all these years. So, we can finally meet again.”

“So, I can meet my handsome baby boy…”

“Xiao Yuan~!”
