237: Possessing my son, die die die

At the same time.

Inside another enclosed space within the Time Wheel Emperor Palace.

Gu Yun swallowed a precious life-saving Medicinal Pill, finally clinging to his last breath.

He forced himself up with his last bit of strength, looking around blankly.

Suddenly, a light screen appeared out of thin air before him.

The moment he saw the images on the light screen clearly.

His pupils constricted! His whole body's blood ran cold!

The next moment, his eyes nearly split as he let out a heart-wrenching roar of despair:

"No—!"

"Don't—!!"

"Mother—!!!"

He pounded on the light screen frantically, but could only watch helplessly as everything unfolded inside the cave.

In the image, Luo Qingcheng had tears in her eyes but was forced to cooperate.

"Cao Bu, Cao Bu, I'm going to kill you! I will definitely kill you, ahhh—!!!"

Gu Yun collapsed to his knees, his hands clawing at the ground so hard his nails split and blood flowed.

He broke down.

Completely and utterly broke down.

Watching helplessly as the woman he loved went astray, and now watching his most respected mother go astray as well.

Despair, like an abyss, swallowed him whole.

One hour later.

Inside the cave.

Cao Bu, acting as Gu Yun, retreated in terror, his back against the cold stone wall. "Mother, what do you want to do?"

Luo Qingcheng's gaze was complex, with an unspeakable pain hidden deep in her eyes. She said softly, "Yun'er, don't be afraid. Mother just needs to erase your memories of just now."

"Don't worry, Yun'er. Mother will be very careful and won't harm your Foundation."

"Erase my memories?" Cao Bu "shuddered," an "unbelieving" expression appearing on his face. "Mother, you should know that even the gentlest memory erasure will cause irreversible damage to the Primordial Spirit. Are you trying to ruin your son's path to becoming an Emperor?"

The pain in Luo Qingcheng's eyes deepened, her fingertips trembling slightly. "Yun'er, Mother doesn't want to either, but what happened just now..."

"What happened just now?" Cao Bu immediately cut in, his tone "urgent" and "bewildered." "I don't remember anything from just now!"

"I only remember that when I woke up, you were right there watching me."

"Mother, what exactly happened just now?"

Luo Qingcheng stared intently at him, a flash of decisiveness in her Phoenix eyes. "Mother doesn't believe you. Yun'er, open your Divine Sense and let Mother see your memories."

For her own reputation and the face of the Gu Clan, Cao Bu's memory of today must disappear!

Even if Cao Bu might not know the details, as long as he connected the cause and effect slightly, he could guess what had happened between the two.

She had to erase all traces of her presence.

Cao Bu shook his head, his back pressed tight against the stone wall, his voice carrying a "plea." "Mother, no, don't kill me."

Erase memories?

You must be joking!

Although the Thousand Illusions Formless Art could perfectly disguise one's aura, appearance, and even Divine Soul fluctuations, it couldn't alter memories.

Once searched, he would be exposed immediately.

Although he wasn't afraid of being exposed.

But it was still too early.

The game had only just begun.

It wouldn't be fun if he was exposed.

Thinking this, Cao Bu suddenly let out a "muffled groan," clutching his chest as an abnormal flush rose to his face again.

"Mother, save me quickly."

Luo Qingcheng frowned and reached out to grab his wrist.

As expected, there was still some love poison remaining in his body.

But this dosage...

It clearly shouldn't have any more effect?

Before she could think further, she was pounced on by Cao Bu once again.

Luo Qingcheng felt a mixture of shame and anger, but Cao Bu's current state didn't seem faked.

Finally, after some hesitation, she stopped struggling.

However, the decisiveness in the depths of her eyes deepened by another notch.

One hour later.

"Mother, save me."

Another hour later.

"Mother, please save me."

Once.

Twice... a hundred times.

Luo Qingcheng's aura was completely chaotic; her Palace Attire was disheveled, her hair bun had fallen apart, and several strands of black hair clung to her pale neck.

She watched Cao Bu approach once more, the humiliation churning in her eyes nearly overflowing.

"Mother, please save your son."

Cao Bu panted heavily, his voice hoarse, reaching the level of a Best Actor.

He reached out, attempting to touch her cheek.

"Enough!"

Luo Qingcheng suddenly flicked her sleeve, a gentle force knocking Cao Bu back several steps.

She rose unsteadily; her magnificent palace dress had long since lost its majesty, leaving only a pathetic state.

Those dignified eyes were now bloodshot, swirling with pain, shame, struggle... and a hint of coldness that was gradually spreading.

"Yun'er," her voice was dry, "the poison in your body was cleared long ago."

Cao Bu's heart skipped a beat, but his face showed an even more "infatuated" state, even staggering as if to pounce again. "Not cleared, it's not cleared yet."

"I said, enough!"

Luo Qingcheng's voice suddenly rose, filled with an unprecedented harshness.

Heart-palpitating Law fluctuations rose around her, causing the space within the entire cave to solidify.

"Your state is wrong. As your mother, I must carefully examine your Primordial Spirit!"

This time, it was no longer a discussion, but an unquestionable command.

She took a step forward, raising her jade hand, her fingertips swirling with a dark light capable of shredding a Divine Soul.

Cao Bu's pupils shrank.

This woman wants to kill Gu Yun.

Indeed, that look couldn't be mistaken.

"Mother? What are you doing?" Cao Bu's "eyes dodged," playing the role of a son who had "gone astray and feared punishment" to perfection. "Are you going to kill me?"

"Not killing you." The last trace of hesitation in Luo Qingcheng's eyes vanished completely, replaced by a resolute coldness. "It's saving you, and also saving myself."

She couldn't let things continue to develop this way.

Erasing memories still left the possibility of recovery.

Only by letting "Gu Yun" sleep forever could this secret be completely buried.

She didn't dare to imagine what situation she would face in the future if even a fraction of what happened just now was leaked.

Perhaps, she would go mad.

Therefore, she would never allow such a thing to happen.

Gu Yun must pay the price for his beastly behavior.

This was also the reason she had struggled through those hundred times; now, it was time for a conclusion.

Seeing this, Cao Bu suddenly had a brainwave.

His figure blurred, turning into an afterimage as he dashed straight for the cave's exit!

"Stop!"

Luo Qingcheng shouted sharply, striking with her jade palm through the air. Powerful Law energy condensed into a translucent giant hand, slamming fiercely toward Cao Bu's back.

This strike contained her true anger and killing intent.

This "son" had to die.

Cao Bu's Movement Technique twisted strangely, sidestepping the giant hand at the critical moment, but the sharp wind still swept across his back.

"Pfft—"

He spat out a mouthful of blood, using the force to dash forward even faster, yet a hint of cunning and excitement flashed in his eyes.

"Cough, Mother, do you really want to kill me?"

Cao Bu's "face was deathly pale," blood continuously seeping from the corners of his mouth, his aura "withered" by more than half, his eyes full of disbelief and pain.

Luo Qingcheng pursued relentlessly, her gaze cold, without a shred of her former maternal love.

"Kill you? No." Her voice was chilling, every word like a knife. "I am executing a thief who is impersonating my son!"

Cao Bu was startled and looked back at her deeply.

It was only a hundred times.

Was it enough to make her want to kill her own biological son?

"Mother, what are you saying? I am Yun'er! Can you not even recognize your own son?"

"Shut up!"

Luo Qingcheng interrupted sharply, the killing intent in her eyes skyrocketing. "You thief, how dare you possess my son! Today, I, Luo Qingcheng, shall avenge my son!"
