Chapter 791 - 717: Living a Tight Life_1
In front of the Lin Family Ancestral Hall.
Lin Banyang had died.
Countless elders, writhing in the agony of poison, bodies aching intensely, yet at the same time, their minds were crystal clear, which made the scene before their eyes all the more shocking to the extreme.
The clone of the family ancestor… just like that, dead…
Simply because, he used the Causal Lock on Lin Xuehan.
Everyone had already understood, the Lin Family… was finished.
The karma of Lin Xuehan was something even the Lin Family Divine Emperor dared not provoke.
“Haha… mistaken, we have been mistaken from the beginning… The Lin Family was completely wrong!”
“We actually treated Lin Xuehan as a family sinner, detained her, and even tortured her… With such karma on our backs, if the Lin Family had been just slightly kinder to her, perhaps there would have been an unimaginable future…”
“We took the wrong path… made the wrong choice, thoroughly wrong.”
These elders, at this moment, had all suddenly come to a realization, filled with regret.
But, it was too late!
Even Yun Chen’s eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, but, he immediately realized… all of this, must have something to do with Yun Xi!
Because, behind Yun Xi now, stood Senior Li.
Whose karma could Senior Li’s possibly touch?
He no longer pondered, stepping forward, he punched, blasting open the Lin Family Ancestral Hall.
Beneath the ancestral hall, the Order Chains immediately shattered!
And Lin Xuehan was then thrown out of her cage by an Order Chain.
Yun Chen lightly soared out, reaching out from midair, gently catching Lin Xuehan.
They landed together.
Embraced.
“Xuehan… After twenty years apart, we finally… reunite!”
Yun Chen held his beloved tightly, tears of joy sparkling in his tiger eyes!
“Chen… I knew you wouldn’t die, I knew you would come back, and you did…”
Lin Xuehan also cried tears of extreme joy!
In those years, to save Yun Chen, she resorted to threatening her life, swearing a venomous oath, that as long as Yun Chen lived, she would bear the heart-piercing pain of the Order Chains and suffer the trampling from the Lin Family clan members beneath the Lin Family Ancestral Hall.
For twenty years, she waited silently, her husband and daughter being the sole hopes that kept her going until today.
After a long while, Lin Xuehan and Yun Chen slowly let go of each other.
The looks they exchanged seemed to carry a thousand words, yet none were spoken.
When hearts are in harmony, what need is there for words?
Lin Xuehan turned her gaze towards Yun Xi in front of her, her eyes brimming with emotion as she said:
“Xi’er… come here, let your mother take a good look at you.”
Yun Xi approached, a trace of apprehension and nervousness in her large eyes.
“Mother.”
She spoke.
Lin Xuehan reached out, gently touching Yun Xi’s face, her eyes overflowing with relief, saying:
“I always knew that my Xi’er would grow up to be the prettiest girl in the world. Now, Xi’er is a grown lady…”
“It’s just a shame, I wasn’t there for you all these years… Xi’er, your mother has let you suffer.”
Lin Xuehan’s eyes were full of apology, slightly tearful.
She couldn’t imagine how Yun Chen and Yun Xi had survived these years…
Yun Chen had been gravely wounded by the Lin Family and must have struggled in the brink of death for countless years.
And Yun Xi, lacking a mother’s companionship from such a young age, what if she were bullied? Who would cherish her? She thought of her countless times…
“Mother… I didn’t suffer, don’t cry.”
“Nobody dares to bully me!”
Yun Xi waved her fist, saying:
“I’m very good at fighting, and besides, I can do everything. I can play the zither, paint, concoct medicine, and even farm!”
Seeing this, Lin Xuehan burst into tears while smiling, but her heart ached even more. Yun Xi’s days must have been tough, otherwise, why would such a girl know so many things?
Playing the zither and painting were bearable, but she also learned to concoct medicine, which likely meant she or Yun Chen had been injured, and they had even farmed the land…
It seemed Yun Chen and Yun Xi had been through wanderings and hardships, struggling even to get enough to eat!
Her heart ached quietly.
“Xi’er… it’s mother’s fault, I failed you…”
She hugged Yun Xi, tears streaming down.
But Yun Xi said:
“Mother… it’s father and I who are at fault, we came too late, and you’ve suffered so much.”
“Right, mother, are you thirsty? I still have some water on me; you should drink some first to nourish yourself.”
As she spoke, Yun Xi produced a bamboo flask.
Inside the flask was water drawn from the well in their small courtyard.
Lin Xuehan smiled faintly, feeling even more tenderness. It seemed like Yun Xi and her father indeed led a very tight existence, carrying water with them and treasuring it so…
“Mother, drink.”
She took the bamboo flask.
Though it was just water, to her, it was the sweetest Divine Water in the world because it was given by her daughter…
She removed the lid and took a gentle sip.
And then, she was struck dumb.
In the water, there was clearly a divine and supreme aura, as if it were the sweet spring of the Great Way, a single sip brought boundless comfort to the whole body.
It’s known that she suffered twenty years of torment in the order prison, and the source of her Way had been severely damaged by the Order Chains, riddled with cracks and holes.
But at this moment, as she swallowed a mouthful of the clear spring, she could actually feel those injuries on her Way healing rapidly!
Visible to the naked eye.
This… this is truly the finest spring water in the world!
“Xi’er, where… where did you get this Divine Water?”
Lin Xue Han couldn’t help but ask.
Yun Xi replied:
“I drew it from the village well.”
The village?
What village?
Lin Xue Han felt utterly confused, but immediately handed the bamboo tube back to Yun Xi, saying:
“Xi’er, this water is too precious, you must keep it safe and refine it properly, it can lay a supreme foundation for your Way!”
She was very solemn!
As the Saintess of the Lin Family, she certainly knew how precious this spring water was. If the world knew of it, even God Emperors might bow and beg for it.
Yun Xi, however, said:
“Mother… there’s no need to treasure it so much, there’s plenty of this water in the village!”
At this time, Yun Chen also couldn’t help but speak with a complex expression:
“Xuehan, what Xi’er says is true. This girl even uses this water to wash her face.”
Even as he mentioned it, he felt that Yun Xi was really… quite extravagant.
Lin Xue Han was even more astounded. What?
Using such divine spring water to wash her face?
Can that even be true… God Emperors beg for it, yet her own daughter can casually use it to wash her face?
“Mother, the water really isn’t precious, everyone in the village uses it to water the flowers and vegetables, go ahead and drink it.”
Yun Xi urged.
Lin Xue Han felt it was even more incredible…
Washing faces? Watering flowers and vegetables?
Could it be that father and daughter were joining forces to deceive her?
Unlikely…
However, unable to persist against Yun Chen and Yun Xi, she could only drink the remaining water in the bamboo tube in one go.
Instantly, her entire body felt as though it had been washed by a warm, sweet spring, and her injuries disappeared completely.
Moreover, her source seemed to enter some kind of slow evolution, as if enveloped by a wisp of white vapor…
“Truly a supreme treasure…”
She couldn’t help but speak out.
At this moment, Su Baiqian had come forward, saying:
“Sister Yunxi, congratulations on your family reunion!”
“Master will definitely be very happy too.”
She was genuinely happy for Yun Xi.
Yun Xi nodded, saying:
“We’ve been out for several days, it’s time to go back and see the Great Demon King, let’s return to the village!”
Immediately, everyone prepared to leave.
“Chen, what exactly is going on? This village you keep mentioning… what place is it?”
Lin Xue Han couldn’t help but ask, filled with curiosity.
Yun Chen glanced at Yun Xi and immediately recounted everything about Yun Xi’s disappearance from the Yang Realm four years ago, and her subsequent return, only to be found in a small mountain village… He revealed the whole story.
After listening, Lin Xue Han was astonished. Could this be real?
That small mountain village… was that terrifying?
Ghost Domain emptied, Spirit Mountain destroyed, the Divine Emperors of the Lin Family, Wang Family… all dead… And all of this was connected to that small mountain village, and that so-called Senior Li?
She pondered, suddenly feeling something was amiss, and said:
“You said… Yun Xi has become that senior’s Fate Slave?”
She immediately grew anxious, saying:
“He didn’t harm Yun Xi, did he?”
Yun Chen shook his head, saying:
“No, that senior is… unusually good to Xi’er.”
Hearing this, Lin Xue Han felt slightly reassured, but still said:
“No, I’m still feeling doubtful. Why would such a person place so much importance on Xi’er, on the Yun Family?”
“When we get to the village later, I have to observe what kind of person he truly is. Otherwise… Xi’er cannot stay by his side!”
As a mother, her greatest concern was her daughter’s safety!
…
I took sick leave yesterday on the WeChat public account “Guixin’s Nest,” having suffered diarrhea to the point of exhaustion and being forced to work overtime until the early morning, so there was no time to update. Everyone can follow “Guixin’s Nest” because I will announce any leaves on there, to spare everyone the trouble of waiting.
Additionally, chapters 669 to 671 have been revised, as I mentioned in chapter 672. Some readers who read the book earlier haven’t reread it, leading to some having an out-of-date storyline where Yun Xi’s mother was taken away by a strange old man… This plot has been changed to where the strange old man was suppressed by Yun Xi’s mother’s Causal Lock.
I suggest that readers who haven’t seen the new episodes delete their cache and read it again, updating the plot will make it smoother.
