Chapter 755 – Dragon Ladies, Lovebird Divine Sword (Part 1)
When Yue Yang came around, Zhi Zun was nowhere in sight. Only Bloody Queen Red’s mother, who survived the battle by hiding in the passageway at the base of the statue, sat quietly and waited for him.
“What’s this?” Yue Yang found a snow-white velvet cloak covered on his naked body. His own clothes had been burnt into ashes during the battle. This white velvet emitted a kind of familiar clear fragrance, is this Zhi Zun’s? Then where was she?
“Come with me!” Bloody Queen Red’s mother stood up and waved to Yue Yang. She turned around and led the way through the passageway.
Because of the shockwave of the previous battle, Yue Qiu’s flesh inside the passageway had been shattered to ashes and scattered all over the ground. But his soul maintained his will, still carrying the stone gate at the entrance. When Yue Yang was changing the clothes, Bloody Queen Red’s mother collected Yue Qiu’s bone ash scattered on the ground into piles in a jewel box carefully, with her eyes full of extraordinary gentleness… When Yue Yang came in, she handed it to him with reluctance.
She believed that it’s better for the son of Yue Qiu, at least nominally, to keep the remains. Yue Yang meditated in silence for a while and shook his head, “It’s the best for you to keep it!” There was a look of joy rose on Bloody Queen Red’s mother’s face, mixed with a little embarrassment in front of her junior, Yue Yang. She lowered her head and tried to argue, “In fact, I just met with Hu Tu a few times before. I respect him and our relationship isn’t like that in others’ eyes. It’s the best result for Red to be with you. This is also the fate. From now on, I’ll just stay here with Hu Tu as a janitor.” She handed him a small parcel – it’s the relics Yue Qiu left to the pitiful guy. Of course, since the Ancient Demon King had completely abandoned the body and identity of the pitiful guy, now it was unquestionable that the parcel belonged to Yue Yang.
There were only three things in the small parcel. One was a key. It was not an ordinary key, but a lotus flower-like crystal with nine hundred and ninety-nine runes carved on each of its edges. Yue Yang didn’t count the edges, but judging from his intuition, there were at least nine hundred and ninety-nine edges. As Yue Yang turned the lotus flower-like crystal key and gently injected innate energy into it with the tips of his fingers, the runes on the lotus flower-key instantly lit up and moved slowly. They mingled together and mutated, giving birth to endless combinations and changes. What a marvelous spectacle! When Yue Yang stopped the innate energy, it slowly returned to its original state. The lotus flower crystal key should be the access token into the stone gate guarded by Yue Qiu’s soul. Yue Yang took the key but was in no hurry to use it. Even though he was also curious about what was inside, he had no time to explore it now.
The second one was a thick notebook. It recorded the stories of Yue Qiu’s life since he made a contract with the summoning grimoire, along with his notes and experiences on skills practice and Spirit Beasts keeping. Although it could not be compared with the knowledge inheritance of Fourth Mother, it was enough to enlighten Yue Yang. Most importantly, Yue Yang flipped through the notes and found many family secrets. He flipped the pages in great haste and as his expectations, he found the identity secret about Yue Yu. He can’t help but exclaim, “Ah! I didn’t expect it was that little girl!” After that, Yue Yang was trapped in a dilemma. If he told Yue Yu the truth, maybe she would go over the trauma during the training with him. But now the question was another girl. If she knew the truth, she wouldn’t accept the fact and she might break down and cry. After thinking for a long time, Yue Yang finally decided to put it off since it wasn’t a matter of time. It might work out one day just like his worry about his identity. As long as one was willing to walk it through, there was nothing impossible to deal with.
The third was an unadorned gold storage ring with an unsophisticated color. Yue Yang contracted the storage ring with his spiritual power and found a lot of relics of Yue Qiu inside, such as the weapon that helped him obtain fame, his mercenary insignia and all the things Elder Yue Hai and Jun Wu You had given him, and some scrolls that recorded the skills he created. There were also some letters written to Elder Yue Hai, Jun Wu You, Yue Ling, Fourth Mother, and others. Apparently, none of the letters were to him.
In the storage ring, there was a letter, on the envelope of which writes a stranger’s name, Xin Yuan. Yue Yang was slightly surprised, but immediately he reacted and handed the letter to Red’s mother. Bloody Queen Red’s mother was surprised and as she saw her name on the letter, she hurriedly took it over. Seeing this letter Yue Qiu had left her, she was so excited and then she opened it gently with her trembling hands. As she read the letter, a drop of tears after another fell on the stationery and when she finished, she covered her mouth with her hand, tears welled up. Bloody Queen Red’s mother tried her best to suppress her sorrow, but the sob in her throat, which sounds like cuckoo’s crying, came out unbearably. After more than ten years, she finally got the letter. But it was too late. When she understood his love, he had passed away, only his soul left to guard the stone door forever.
Yue Yang stood quietly beside her, waiting for her to calm down. “I… I am okay.” Wiping away her tears, Bloody Queen Red’s mother forced herself to make a tearful smile, “I am so glad that Hu Tu has not forgotten me. I have no regrets now after receiving his letter. I will always accompany him here. Bring Red here if you are free.” Yue Yang nodded and promised, “Okay.” Bloody Queen Red’s mother looked at Yue Yang, with tears in her eyes, “Can I stay alone with him for a while? There are so many things I want to share with him…”
“I’ll bring Red here later!” Yue Yang went out of the passage. The sound of muffled sobbing came from his behind and finally, it turned into a heartbroken cry and tears.
Yue Yang looked up into the sky, trying to control the grief in his eyes. He couldn’t understand the feeling of waiting for an answer in more than a decade, but there was no doubt that it’s the most complicated feelings in the world, a mixed feeling of sadness, happiness and bitter. Yue Yang had experienced this feeling during the period when he came into this world and tried to get approvals from Xue Wu Xia and others. Finally, he worked hard and obtained it from Fourth Mother. In these three years, he had gone through an indescribable journey. Thinking of the past matters, he couldn’t help but sign for it. Hearing the cry of Bloody Queen Red’s mother, his heart was deeply touched.
