The Truth About Her Mother

Jing Yi was facepalmed. So tired, if not because that she had swallowed Zi Luo Lan and drank that healing water from lotus pond, she would already collapse right now.

Jiang Chen Lu was aware that it was too much for her today. However, the day he had to give her up was getting closer. He needed to prepare her.

He admitted that his method all these years was not right. But, he had no other choice. They would never treat her well.

Moreover, Jing Yi has a weak constitution. Not able to be a martial artist and didn't have fate as a cultivator. Most people called her trash. Even when compared to a common human being, she wasn't any better.

Jiang Chen Lu remembered that years ago when she was born into this world, he was really disappointed. He was known as one of four mythical beings. For thousand of years, every being would shake in fear in his presence. The strongest among the four brothers.

But then he found out that this daughter born by that woman is a trash. Could be imagined how devastated he was at that time.

He wanted to discard that disgraceful being… along with her mother.

Still, even in despair there is hope. The very first time he held the weak baby girl in his arms, he couldn't help but to love. He hesitated. Stuck between two choices - to kill or not to kill - for the first time he realized that turned out he still has a heart.

He couldn't cut her neck. His claw stopped the moment it scratched her skin and made her bleed...

However, heaven had really shown him a way. He and Qiong Qi 'accidentally' found out that the newborn baby girl has the ability to heal herself! The wound on her neck healed just in seconds. It was painful so the baby cried weakly. But no matter how many times he cut her, the wound would close immediately.

She was just like him!

That was the ability that made him an immortal being for thousand of years. Couldn't age. Couldn't get sick. Couldn't get hurt. Death was nothing before him!

And this little baby girl was the same. How wonderful.

All hatred and disappointment were gone instantly. He had decided to protect this little baby.

No matter how wretched her dead mother was.

Yes. Her mother was a wretch. The moment she gave birth of little Yi'er, he killed her.

That's how deep the hatred within him.

That wretch's name was Lin Hua. A one thousand years old fox. One of four kings of Tian Xiang. She had a twin older sister, Lin Feng Yu's mother, named Lin Lian.

Fox. How much he despised them. They bewitched men. Sucked their vitality. Then ate their flesh and drank their blood. That was their way of cultivation.

That time, he was naive and ignorant. Despite of his true nature, that he never wanted to accept, he insisted to live like a human being. No matter how hard it was, no matter how many times he had failed. He believed that he could change his fate.

At that time, he was searching for rare medicinal herbs. After half a year of traveling, he found a place, just like a heaven. Miles of flower field. Clear lake. Lush trees. More importantly, a lot of rare medicinal herbs, that even rarely found in other places, could be found there. He put his guard off. Who ever guessed that he would meet the two foxes.

He got bewitched.

The powerful Jiang Chen Lu got bewitched by two foxes. How formidable they were. Even until now, he didn't know how that could happen.

That time he had married a noble young lady, First madam Jiang. They lived in Dongfang and they already had a son who's still not one year old yet. Still, he decided to bring two women back home.

Didn't know what he had thought at that time. He didn't know that he had sow seed of disaster. His home no longer is a peaceful place. Fortunately, he still managed to control everything.

He finally understood how fearsome a woman's jealousy was…

A year after, Lin Feng Yu was born. He was more like his mother. Maybe a little bit like him, but not much. He couldn't help but felt happy that he had another son.

However, Lin Hua still hadn't got pregnant yet. Two sisters reasoned that it was because of heaven will. And he, who's already had two sons thought that it wasn't a matter. He said that she didn't have to be in hurry. Or felt sad. They could take their time. Thus, times went on just like that.

The time Lin Feng Yu was nine years old, Lin Hua finally got pregnant. Nine months later, she gave birth to a baby girl.

Back to that year, when Lin Hua's pregnancy was entering the fourth months, the war between the two kingdoms, Qing Sha and Dongfang, had gotten worse. As an important figure in Dongfang, or maybe also on the continent, who have also married a highly respected noblewoman, he too had a responsibility to protect the kingdom. Besides, he had a secret that he had to protect, for the sake of his family.

Though he didn't really care about others, he at least cared about his people. Thus he decided to take part in that war.

Just, he didn't know that two women had moved in the dark since the very beginning they put their feet on the continent. The person who brought them was him. That was his biggest mistake in this lifetime.

What they wanted was the so-called secret he had been protected.

His blood and also his core.

In the end, they had betrayed him.

They opened the path that shouldn't be opened. Let those magical beasts entered the continent. They only purpose. Immortality.

Jiang Chen Lu got immersed in his own thought. Didn't realize that Jing Yi was staring at him quizzically.

"Father…", she called him hesitantly. Although she thought that somehow he didn't seem like what showed on the surface, instinctively she still acted carefully. Because she still couldn't fully understand what he was thinking. His purposes. What he really wanted from her.
