156: go home

Seeing her long-lost daughter act so indifferently, the beautiful woman in palace attire also wore a look of deep sorrow, clearly feeling very upset.

"Child, don't be sad. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have left you alone in the Lower Realm."

"But at the time, I had no other choice..."

She could only gently comfort Shen Youchu while slowly explaining the entire story to her.

"More than ten years ago, when your father and I secretly traveled to the Lower Realm, I unexpectedly became pregnant with you."

"After you were safely born, your father and I originally planned to immediately return to the Upper Realm and bring you back to our clan to meet your relatives."

"However, what we didn't expect was that, even before I was pregnant, the strange clan from outside the heavens had secretly targeted your father and me."

"They were also waiting for the moment of your birth to arrive!"

"Because, after childbirth, my strength would decrease by more than ninety percent in a short period. At that time, only your father could protect us, mother and daughter."

"And on the very day you were born, before your father and I could rejoice in your arrival, the powerhouses of the strange clan arrived as expected!"

"In that battle, the strange clan sent a total of seven titled powerhouses across realms!"

Recalling the scene from that day, the beautiful woman in palace attire's eyes also showed a hint of monstrous hatred, and her delicate body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

After taking a deep breath, the beautiful woman in palace attire slowly calmed herself before continuing:

"Your father and I knew we were no match for the seven titled strange powerhouses. In desperation, we could only choose to secretly send you away and hide you in the Lower Realm."

"And your father and I used ourselves as bait to lure all seven strange powerhouses away."

"Finally, your father and I, after a narrow escape from death, fortunately fled back to the Upper Realm, but we were also severely injured and greatly diminished in strength, unable to Transmigrate the realm barrier to the Lower Realm for more than ten years."

"This is why our mother and daughter have been separated for so many years."

"During these past ten-plus years, we never gave up trying to find news of you, but we found nothing."

"It wasn't until recently that I finally got definite news of you. After knowing you were here, I didn't dare to wait another moment and came down to find you, my daughter!"

Looking at her long-lost daughter, whom she had yearned for for so many years, the beautiful woman in palace attire was already in tears.

Hearing the words of the beautiful woman in palace attire, Shen Youchu's mind reeled.

"Is this... the truth?"

At the moment when all the truth was revealed, Shen Youchu felt it was so unbelievable.

It turned out she wasn't an unwanted child.

It was just that back then, her parents, in order to protect her,

had no choice but to leave her in the Lower Realm, risking their lives to lure the enemies away.

For so many years, her parents had never given up searching for her.

"Yes, originally, your father also wanted to come along on this trip to the Lower Realm."

"However, he is currently at a critical moment, contending with someone for the position of the Immortal Clan Chief, and truly cannot get away. That's why I came down alone to find you."

"But please don't let this bother you. Your father said that when you return home, he will definitely secure the position of Immortal Clan Chief for you."

"At that time, the position of Young Clan Chief of the Immortal Clan will be yours, daughter! No one can take it away!"

The beautiful woman in palace attire dropped another bombshell.

To make up for the years of lost affection with her daughter, the beautiful woman in palace attire had already discussed with her husband before descending to the Lower Realm that they would give Shen Youchu the position of Young Clan Chief of the Immortal Clan as compensation.

"Immortal Clan?"

Hearing the words of the beautiful woman in palace attire, Shen Youchu, who didn't quite understand these two words, couldn't help but ask, "What is an Immortal Clan?"

"Child, in the Upper Realm, only clans whose ancestors produced 'Immortal Dao figures' are qualified to be called Immortal Clans! Otherwise, even a clan with an Eight Lifetimes Great Emperor guarding it is not qualified to be called an Immortal Clan!"

Mentioning the origin of the Immortal Clan, a hint of pride appeared on the face of the beautiful woman in palace attire.

Clearly, the Immortal Clan was a truly extraordinary existence in the Upper Realm.

"A clan with an Eight Lifetimes Great Emperor guarding it isn't even qualified to be called an Immortal Clan!"

Hearing the words of the beautiful woman in palace attire, Shen Youchu was utterly shocked.

Such a profound clan, and her father was actually contending with someone for the position of its Clan Chief?

And he even wanted her to sit in the position of Young Clan Chief!?

Shen Youchu gasped.

Wait!

If I can become the Young Clan Chief of the Immortal Clan, won't I be worthy of Senior Brother Lin Yang!?

Thinking of this, a ripple inexplicably stirred in Shen Youchu's heart.

"Daughter, come back with me quickly. Your father and your clan members are all waiting for you to return for a reunion. Everyone misses you very much."

Seeing Shen Youchu's somewhat dazed beautiful face, the beautiful woman in palace attire worried that the former was still bothered by being ignored all these years, and immediately spoke in a gentle, soothing tone.

"Now?"

Shen Youchu's eyes showed a hint of hesitation; she still wanted to see Lin Yang one more time and tell him about this matter.

"Daughter, you don't know. Although our Immortal Clan is powerful, with great power comes great responsibility."

"That strange clan from outside the heavens is constantly watching us, descendants of the Immortal Clan, wishing to destroy us quickly."

"My descent to the Lower Realm this time may have already been discovered by the strange clan."

"If we delay for too long, I fear we might repeat the same mistakes as more than ten years ago. It's best to return to the Upper Realm with me as soon as possible."

Hearing the words of the beautiful woman in palace attire, Shen Youchu was silent for a moment, also hearing the seriousness in her tone.

"Then I'll leave a letter before I go."

Going to the Upper Realm, she didn't know when she would be able to return, so Shen Youchu still wanted to leave a letter for Lin Yang.

"Alas, daughter, what time is it now? If that strange clan really targets us, it will be troublesome."

Seeing Shen Youchu still procrastinating a bit, the beautiful woman in palace attire couldn't help but say anxiously.

"Mother, just give me half an incense stick's time." Shen Youchu pleaded.

"Good daughter, is half an incense stick enough? I'll give you a whole incense stick."

Hearing the address "Mother," the beautiful woman in palace attire's delicate brows, which had furrowed due to her eagerness to take her back, immediately smoothed out, and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"Mother, aren't you worried about that strange clan attacking anymore?"

Seeing the beautiful woman in palace attire change her expression faster than flipping a book, Shen Youchu couldn't help but blink and say.

"Hmph! If that strange clan dares to come, I'm not to be trifled with."

"At worst, I'll summon all the Immortal Clan powerhouses!"

"Even if it shatters the Lower Realm, I will protect you this time!"

The beautiful woman in palace attire let out a cold snort, and a hint of sternness flashed in her sharp Phoenix eyes.

More than ten years ago, it was because they were unprepared that the strange beings took advantage of the situation, causing Shen Youchu to be separated from them for many years.

Now that she had descended to the Lower Realm again, how could she not be fully prepared?

Seeing the beautiful woman in palace attire like this, Shen Youchu's heart also warmed slightly.

It seemed she was indeed not an abandoned child.

Immediately, Shen Youchu walked into a small room nearby and took out writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.

After writing down what she wanted to leave for Lin Yang, she folded it and sealed it into a letter.

After entrusting a fellow Junior Sister, who was also a big fan of Lin Yang, to be sure to deliver it to Lin Yang,

she then went to the Upper Realm with the beautiful woman in palace attire...
