92: Chu Yi's attitude, she cherishes him more than anyone else

“Welcome back, Divine Son.”

After bidding farewell to Su Lianxue, Jun Lingxiao and the others used a coordinate compass to have an Elder from their Family break through space and teleport them home.

Although he had heard of it more than once before, it was his first time using such a thing.

A dark spatial rift opened before him, but unlike the usual rifts that churned with temporal turbulence, this was a safe and calm one. Stepping through the rift, he instantly returned to the Jun Family.

In the blink of an eye, he saw the Jun Family's Internal Affairs Elder bowing to him, a very peculiar feeling.

“Hm.”

He nodded slightly to the Elder responsible for the reception, and then the group walked out of the Reception Hall.

Upon returning to the Ten Directions Immortal Court, Jun Lingxiao naturally no longer needed Venerable Realm dark guards; they all revealed themselves at once.

The Elder watched their departing figures, or more accurately, he stared at Jun Lingxiao, slightly dazed.

If he wasn't mistaken… “Has Divine Son Your Highness had a Breakthrough?”

Not only had he had a Breakthrough, but the Elder even faintly saw a Divine Halo that Jun Lingxiao had hidden, which meant Jun Lingxiao had already stepped into the Divine Realm?

Just one glance was enough to make him not dare to look again.

“I originally thought that Divine Son Your Highness condescending to go to the Lower Realm was just for a leisurely stroll. Now it seems that is not the case…”

“As expected of our Jun Family’s Divine Son.”

After a sigh of admiration, the Elder's figure dissipated, going to make his report.

“You go back first. I'm going to find Mother.”

Jun Zizhuo had long since absconded with his local specialties. Jun Lingxiao said a word to An Luoxin and then walked towards his mother's sleeping quarters.

He needed to ask about the Holy Infant matter.

An Luoxin bowed and withdrew.

The flow of time in different worlds is not the same, so after so many events, the Middle Thousand World was already night, but the Ten Directions Immortal Court was just experiencing a beautiful sunset.

Normally at this time, his mother, Chu Yi, would definitely be lying on her lounge chair, leisurely basking in the sunset, but when Jun Lingxiao arrived at her sleeping palace, he couldn't help but be shocked by the scene before him.

It was still his ‘lazy fish’ mother, only, the place she was lying was different.

More than a dozen golden-silk wooden boxes were placed in the courtyard. Some of the boxes were open, revealing Medicinal Pills inside. The rich Medicinal Pill aroma alone had already formed a phenomenon, with dazzling flowing light.

And his mother, Chu Yi, was lying on top of these wooden boxes, leisurely swinging her feet.

As he walked into the courtyard, she just looked over, and their gazes met.

“Son, come here.”

She smiled and waved to Jun Lingxiao, as if she wasn't surprised by his arrival.

“I figured you'd be home soon, and I guessed perfectly right.”

“Come, sit over here.”

“Son, guess what these are that we're sitting on?”

Chu Yi pulled Jun Lingxiao to sit together on the stacked boxes. She casually reached into an open golden-silk wooden box, grabbed a handful of Medicinal Pills, and then held them high, watching them fall one by one, her eyes full of a dazed expression.

“I can't guess.”

With so many Medicinal Pills in the world, how could Jun Lingxiao know what these were? However, he looked around at the boxes beneath him. Although there were no markings on the boxes, he still guessed who had sent them.

The Chu Family.

He hadn't expected them to act so quickly.

“Right? Mother can't guess either.”

“These Medicinal Pills are easy to guess, Holy Blood Divine Pills, a special Divine Pill supplied by the Chu Family, extremely unique. Even when Mother was in the Chu Family, she could at most only get twenty pills a month to Cultivate.”

“What Mother can't guess is, despite such rare Medicinal Pills, they managed to send a full fifty thousand of them under the guise of a visit.”

Chu Yi suddenly smiled, a complex mix of emotions in that smile.

“Speaking of which, it's quite infuriating. You know, I contributed so much to the Chu Family, and in the end, I could only get twenty pills a month. Although it was far more than ordinary Disciples, I used to dream of sleeping on as many Holy Blood Divine Pills as there are now, so I could become stronger and get closer to my goal.”

“To make the Chu Family one of the Three Heavens, becoming the Fourth Heaven, was my dream since childhood, and the reason for my existence. I once firmly believed in it and worked hard for it.”

“But I never expected that the first half of this dream would actually be realized by my son. After so many years of silence, they suddenly sent so many things today, euphemistically calling it compensation for our mother and son.”

“But son, do you know? Actually, all of these are for you.”

“Everything I worked so hard for suddenly turned to nothing, and then, my former dream was half-realized in this way. Don't you think it's infuriating?”

Chu Yi tilted her head, her face still wearing that relaxed smile, but now it was a little bitter.

What was not obtained in youth would forever bind one's life.

Ever since Chu Yi was ambushed by her Family, time seemed to have stopped on that night, never seeing the dawn again.

The laughable thing was, what she couldn't obtain no matter how hard she worked and how much she gave her heart to the Family, she obtained today in this manner.

The Medicinal Pills sent by the Chu Family not only negated all of Chu Yi's previous efforts but also truly killed Chu Yi as a person.

“Is Mother jealous?”

Jun Lingxiao listened, and then a sudden remark pierced her heart, bringing her back to her senses.

“Jealous? Me?”

She was startled at first, then smiled with relief: “Perhaps.”

“Jealousy, and also Life Qi. But not towards you, but towards my younger self.”

“Son, you might not see it, but Mother is truly about to explode with Life Qi right now.”

Saying this, her eyes on Jun Lingxiao were full of kindness. She took Jun Lingxiao's hands, pulled up his black sleeve, and slowly rolled it up, her movements gentle.

When she saw the scar on Jun Lingxiao's arm, she wasn't surprised.

On Jun Lingxiao's fair right arm, a blood-red crack abruptly opened. It didn't look like any ordinary wound, but rather like the flesh itself had split open, though it was wrapped in his spiritual power, so it hadn't bled, and An Luoxin hadn't even noticed it along the way.

But Chu Yi… his own mother… had noticed it.

Jun Lingxiao thought about it, gradually lowering his gaze.

“Used the Human Sacred Law?”

Chu Yi took out a silk handkerchief to treat Jun Lingxiao's wound, her movements still as gentle.

And the Human Sacred Law she spoke of was the Human Race Tinder.

“Although the Human Sacred Law is strong, its consequences are also immense. You are the Divine Son; you don't need to personally handle every matter; just leave it to others.”

She didn't wait for Jun Lingxiao to answer, just continued speaking to herself.

“However, there are indeed times when one must act. Mother understands this, but it's still best to use this thing less in the future. Mother also has some Medicinal Materials here; come to Mother if you get hurt in the future.”

“Son, I know I might not seem much like a mother, and even to outsiders, it might appear that I don't particularly like you, but that's not true.”

“Your birth… was not ideal. Your father and I weren't truly in love; we were just sacrifices in Family disputes.”

“However, that doesn't mean I don't like you. On the contrary, I hate the Jun Family, I hate the Chu Family, but only you, my son, I cherish more than anyone.”
