Chapter 709: Chapter 137 Vast Love and Hatred
"I am pregnant with your child, but according to the bloodline analysis, it’s not a son, but a daughter. Are you satisfied with that?"
Some six months later, one day, Mu Qingyan confronted Lei Yan King.
"It doesn’t matter if it’s a son or a daughter, they are our flesh and blood. Why would I be dissatisfied?"
Lei Yan King revealed a gentle smile, even solid ice would melt over time with the warmth of emotions.
"Of course, you are satisfied, so you no longer care about me these days, right? I have been used by you and you’ve had your fill of playing with me, haven’t you?"
Mu Qingyan suddenly asked coldly.
Lei Yan King was slightly startled. He intended to explain that his heart demon had suddenly become active again recently, a result of the Blood Barbarian trying to control him through their bloodline.
But Lei Yan King found he didn’t know how to begin. With less than ten years of life left, what good would it do to speak out? Moreover, he had truly fallen in love with Mu Qingyan, he truly cared, so he could no longer treat her with careless disregard.
Thus, Lei Yan King fell silent.
"Heh, and I naively thought that after all this time, after my diligent service, you would get better. Indeed, you did get better, but only when you needed me. Now that you don’t, I am just your maid, lowly in status, right?"
Mu Qingyan scornfully said with self-mockery.
"No, I haven’t, I actually... I have had some recent insights. I discovered a land of Primordial Magnetic Aurora, where one can comprehend the Transcendence Origin Power. If I could retreat there for three years, I would become much stronger."
Lei Yan King’s explanation was feeble and unconvincing, and Mu Qingyan found it hard to believe him.
At this moment, the Demon Heart inside Lei Yan King began to act up inexplicably, on the verge of erupting, and his complexion became uncertain, beyond his control.
"You... take care of yourself and don’t think too much. I’ll step out for a moment."
As he spoke, Lei Yan King suddenly transformed into a Blood Light and fled into the distance.
At this time, if he were to make love to Mu Qingyan, it could suppress the agitation of the Demon Heart. However, since Mu Qingyan was pregnant, out of concern for her body, Lei Yan King could not do so.
Yet his actions further deepened Mu Qingyan’s misunderstanding.
"Aren’t you even willing to talk to me a little more..."
With tears in her eyes, Mu Qingyan watched Lei Yan King’s departing figure and stood silently alone.
She felt isolated by the entire world.
Outside, there was talk of how she was mistreated and abused by Lei Yan King. Although this was not the case, the undeniable truth was that she was pregnant with Lei Yan King’s child.
"Is his word trustworthy?" Mu Qingyan pondered and then followed him.
She found Lei Yan King, but when she did, Lei Yan King had completely changed.
Covered in blood-red fur, he devoured the lives from breeding grounds beneath the planes. As he flew past a planet, he would suck dry the bloodline energy in one breath, turning it into a decayed and lifeless star.
Mu Qingyan followed him, and although Lei Yan King seemed to sense her presence, he never looked back, coldly consuming the lives of various races.
He was acting like a mad fiend.
Furthermore, as if savoring the taste, many of the outstanding women from those breeding grounds were repeatedly violated by Lei Yan King to the point of a fate worse than death. Such scenes occurred repeatedly in front of Mu Qingyan’s eyes.
Mu Qingyan’s gaze became increasingly cold and detached.
Eventually, after Lei Yan King stepped into an extremely terrifying realm, the red fur on his body receded, and he calmed down.
Beneath him, a Light-winged Woman was violated to the point of a fate worse than death.
However, he seemed somewhat astonished, as if he didn’t even understand what had happened. At that moment, Mu Qingyan approached him.
"Before, I thought I had chosen the right person. Even though I wasn’t entirely satisfied, I had nothing to complain about since you were outstanding. But now, you make me feel disgusted! Disgusted, do you understand? I, Mu Qingyan, must have been blind to have fought with you and lost myself.
Well, we were husband and wife—for although you’ve always treated me as nothing but a plaything, that has come to an end.
The child’s bloodline is strong, but as her mother, I will not tell her about her father. She has no such repulsive father. The child will be born soon; her kind of bloodline grows very fast. Afterward... there will be no ’after’ once the child is born."
Mu Qingyan’s voice was indifferent as she resolutely turned and walked away step by step.
Her shoulders trembled slightly as she walked, not quickly.
It seemed like she was still waiting for a decision from Lei Yan King, a word to retain her, a comforting embrace... all of which could make her stay.
But Lei Yan King stood there motionless, not following her, not holding her back, not saying a word.
He just watched as Mu Qingyan walked further and further away.
"I have already been eroded by the Demon Heart, nearly incapable of controlling myself. Staying with her would only hurt her. Therefore, letting her go is better for her."
"But while I am still lucid, I must arrange a path for her future, so that she and the child can grow up without worries."
"I have nothing to my name. Even if I am cursed by the Ten Thousand Realms, I must eliminate future trouble for her."
"I shall set up a plan, using myself as bait, so she can see the Jiang family’s true hideous nature and avoid being with the Jiang Family and suffering a loss as a result."
Lei Yan King murmured to himself.
...
In the Divine Plane, Hell Plane, Netherworld Plane, a piece of news spread at some unknown time.
The Netherworld Goddess had fallen into the hands of the Lei Yan King, suffering inhuman torture and torment. Eventually, the Goddess escaped from his clutches when the Lei Yan King was careless. The reason why she hadn’t been recaptured was that the Netherworld Goddess had discovered the Lei Yan King’s greatest weakness.
This news surfaced abruptly, but it spread rapidly, and within a few days, it became the talk across the Ten Thousand Realms.
By this time, the Netherworld Goddess had already given birth to a daughter with a powerful bloodline whom she had named ’Mu Yanyan’, to commemorate her agonizing days and tormented life with the burning flame.
Mu Yanyan learned to speak in one day, achieved the Divine Spirit Nine Revolutions Realm in one week, and in one month grew to the appearance of a four or five-year-old, stepping into the Earth Spirit Venerable Realm.
Everything was stabilized under these circumstances.
Mu Yanyan, dressed in a red cotton-padded jacket, was very sensible, but she often saw her mother crying in hiding.
The little girl took this scene to heart.
...
"Yanyan, where is your mother? I haven’t seen her for a few days, and Yanyan has become even cuter."
A gentle voice came, and a young man dressed in white like snow descended from the void.
"Uncle Tianling, Mother, Mother is in the backyard. She’s losing her temper again. Please go and persuade her. She only listens to you and Uncle Tian Xin now,"
Mu Yanyan said softly, her large eyes shimmering with a dim light.
"Mm, I will. Ah, it’s all the fault of that demonic Lei Yan King who has gone completely mad—ah."
The white-clothed youth heaved a sigh and was about to step into the back of this ancient courtyard.
But at this moment, Mu Yanyan suddenly said, "Lei Yan King, he is my father, isn’t he? He forced my mother, and that’s how I was born, right? He killed the people of eighteen cities in the Netherworld Ancient City, didn’t he?"
"This, who told you this? No, there isn’t."
Jiang Tianling’s eyes flickered with deliberately feigned ’panic’, seeming very nervous about this turn of events.
"It’s nothing, there are no walls without cracks in this world, I will always eventually find out what I’m meant to know."
Mu Yanyan spoke somewhat indifferently.
Then, she looked at Jiang Tianling and said, "Uncle Tianling, please go and comfort my mother, she is too lonely and too tired, but alas I dare not, because I know that I am but a product of sin. When Mother looks at me, she will surely be reminded of the unbearable past..."
Jiang Tianling was slightly startled at that moment, sensing the approach of Mu Qingyan’s footsteps, but he pretended as if he did not sense it at all and comforted her, "Yanyan, you’re mistaken, your mother loves you very much. As for the Lei Yan King, he has completely turned demonic and has again slaughtered the worlds of the Endless Star Domain Plane. Our Jiang Family and forces under the Netherworld Plane have all been devoured by his Devouring Sword Body, becoming a source of energy for his realm accumulation.
Now, the Netherworld Plane is about to be taken over by the Hell Plane, thanks to him. Such a demon has nothing to do with you. Don’t think too much.
My visit this time is actually to find out what secret the demon has, how we can target him to slay him, and bring stability to your plane."
"If we don’t slay this evil being on your plane, I fear great disaster will ensue. Only, I also don’t know how to speak to your mother about this, she still feels..."
Jiang Tianling sighed, appearing very helpless.
Yanyan’s little hands clenched into fists, her eyes filled with intense hatred.
"It’s all because of that heartless beast of a father, I—"
"Yanyan, what are you saying? How many times have I told you, you have no father! Your father is long dead, have you forgotten? Go away, go to the Cultivation Forbidden Land for Enlightenment!"
Mu Qingyan walked out, her face expressionless, scolding Yanyan harshly.
Yanyan was stunned, her large eyes brimming with tears of grievance.
Mu Qingyan’s heart trembled with guilt, but she stubbornly didn’t show it, instead ignoring Yanyan and looking coldly at Jiang Tianling.
"Mu Goddess, I’m sorry, I—I didn’t mean to..."
When Jiang Tianling saw Mu Qingyan, he very well concealed the surge of evil desire that sprang up in his heart, because Mu Qingyan, now a lady, had a terrifying charm that any man would find irresistible.
However, Jiang Tianling knew Mu Qingyan was very sensitive at the moment, so he kept it deeply hidden.
Mu Qingyan, preoccupied with her thoughts, did not notice this change.
"You say, Lei Yan King is still slaughtering the innocent and devouring the worlds under various planes?"
Mu Qingyan asked in a heavy tone.
"Yes, it’s utterly inhumane, ’King Yan’s’ infamy is everywhere."
Jiang Tianling sighed with resignation.
"I know one of his secrets, he weakens inexplicably from time to time, probably due to instability in his bloodline. That place is a Secret Realm, if you can’t find him, he will definitely be there. Since he has completely turned demonic, then let me help him find release."
Mu Qingyan murmured to herself as if recalling some unbearable memories, her voice growing even colder.
"You... after all, he was your—"
Jiang Tianling’s words halted halfway, apparently taken aback by Mu Qingyan’s intentions.
"Heh, he considered me merely a toy. Such is a woman’s fate; once played enough with, she becomes worse than a beast. Moreover, he is no longer human now. It would be better if he were dead, so these nine great planes can find some peace for a while."
Mu Qingyan said with self-deprecation.
