Chapter 1758 - 818: Reunion

Chapter 1758: Chapter 818: Reunion

The Qian Cauldron had already fully absorbed five pieces of the cauldron. Compared to when Ye Lingyue originally obtained the Cauldron Seal, its appearance had drastically changed.

However, due to the absence of four more cauldron pieces, Ye Lingyue had always maintained only the strength of the Void Cauldron Venerate and couldn’t consolidate it into a Solid Rank.

And just judging from the appearance, this cauldron really isn’t impressive.

It was blackened, with unnoticeable and peculiar engravings etched on it. The cauldron’s size barely allowed Ye Lingyue and Little Jiu Nian to fit inside, one large and one small.

"Aunt Yun, you plan to use this cauldron to break through the Divine Hidden Fire? Is it safe? It better not endanger Little Jiu Nian."

Chi Chi’s mouth gaped wide; no matter how he looked at it, he felt this tattered cauldron wasn’t reliable.

"Relax, I assure you I’ll return you a lively fiancé."

Ye Lingyue chuckled. After spending the last few days with Chi Chi, she learned that despite his sharp tongue, he was, in fact, a simple-minded little one.

Chi Chi was teased into blushing by Ye Lingyue, nervously watching the Qian Cauldron.

The Qian Cauldron suddenly flew upward, heading straight for the prohibition.

The moment it sensed someone invading, the Divine Hidden Fire exploded like thunder, tongues of fire shooting up nearly a hundred feet high.

The flames, as if possessing Spiritual Sense, surged from all directions and instantly engulfed the Qian Cauldron.

The surrounding air became scorching hot all at once.

This fiery blaze startled Chi Chi so much that his heart leaped into his throat.

But, oddly enough, despite the Divine Hidden Fire’s might, it was ineffective against the worn Qian Cauldron.

The Qian Cauldron, fearless, effortlessly broke through the encircling wall of fire.

The Fire Wall was suddenly breached, leaving the Qian Cauldron unharmed, fluttering like a loose kite toward the vast plain ahead.

Chi Chi and Hunyuan Ancestor both sighed in relief, keeping their gaze fixed on the Qian Cauldron as it became a tiny black speck.

Having broken through the Divine Hidden Fire’s enclosure, Ye Lingyue held Little Jiu Nian and leapt from the Qian Cauldron.

The Qian Cauldron shrunk back into Ye Lingyue’s palm.

Little Jiu Nian watched in awe, filled with envy at Ye Lingyue’s abilities.

The two continued forward, walking until they reached the foot of a hill, where a stone tablet appeared before them.

Compared to the stone tablet Little Jiu Nian encountered during his last visit, this one looked much more worn.

Wild grass grew thick around it, and moss covered the stone tablet.

"Land God! I’ve come to visit you again."

Upon seeing the stone tablet, Little Jiu Nian dashed forward with all his speed.

"Little ghost?!"

A hoarse voice tinged with perplexity emanated from within the stone tablet.

Ye Lingyue followed closely, but as she heard that voice, her pupils contracted violently, and she cried out in disbelief.

That voice!

"Brother Yan Jiu!"

"Ling Yue!"

The stone tablet now noticed Ye Lingyue beside Little Jiu Nian.

Ye Lingyue couldn’t believe her eyes; Yan Jiu, this weathered, ravaged stone tablet, was actually Yan Jiu.

Scalding heat overwhelmed Ye Lingyue’s eyes.

She almost staggered to the stone tablet, gazing at it in disbelief.

Even though very faint, Ye Lingyue indeed sensed Yan Jiu’s presence.

However, Yan Jiu’s condition was dire; he appeared gravely injured.

"Godmother, do you know the Land God?"

Little Jiu Nian noticed his godmother’s abnormality, her eyes reddened, wondering if she and the Land God were acquaintances.

"Jiunian, he is not the Land God. He is... he is your father Yan Jiu."

Ye Lingyue could no longer withstand it; tears welled up uncontrollably in her eyes.

It seemed Brother Yan Jiu had long known that Little Jiu Nian was his child.

Yet, Little Jiu Nian was unaware that the Land God he mentioned daily was his biological father.

Blood is thicker than water; perhaps because of this severed familial bond of years, Little Jiu Nian would risk everything to see Yan Jiu.

Little Jiu Nian felt a tremendous roar in his head, his body stiffening.

The Land God was his father?

The father who abandoned him and his mother, vanished without a trace, missing for years?

Little Jiu Nian’s eyes reddened. He suddenly bit his lip and was about to run.

"Jiunian, what are you doing? Haven’t you always wanted to find your father? He is right in front of you."

Ye Lingyue grabbed Little Jiu Nian.

She knew Little Jiu Nian held resentment towards Yan Jiu, but he traveled thousands of miles from Qing Province Continent to the Demon World, just to find Yan Jiu.

If this isn’t love, then what is?

"I don’t have a father."

Little Jiu Nian retorted defiantly.

Yan Jiu remained silent.

The ones he felt most guilty towards were Cai’er and Jiunian. Despite having countless things to say, any explanation to his son seemed utterly powerless.

"Jiunian, I’ve mentioned before that your father did not intentionally leave you and your mother. He left because of your godfather, his best friend Di Shen. He was oppressed here; neither I nor Di Shen knew."

Ye Lingyue increasingly blamed herself.

She hadn’t expected Yan Jiu to spend these years like this.

"Hmph, if he cared so much about godfather, then why did he marry my mother? Might as well marry godfather, have a child with him."

Little Jiu Nian pouted.

Ye Lingyue was rendered speechless by this childish remark.

"Also, it’s outrageous that despite knowing I’m his son, he feigned ignorance, claiming to be some Land God."

Little Jiu Nian had already let go of his antagonism towards his father ever since hearing from Di Shen about the real reason behind Yan Jiu’s departure.

As a man (though still immature), he understood that if in the future he had a good friend in trouble, he would probably do the same.

His true anger lay in Yan Jiu recognizing him as his son yet refusing to reunite with him.

"I have never claimed to be some useless Land God."

Yan Jiu finally spoke after a long pause.

This little guy, his temper really resembled his mother, terribly unreasonable.

"Hmph."

Little Jiu Nian remained haughty, refusing to acknowledge Yan Jiu.

Ye Lingyue was speechless, looking at Yan Jiu’s state, she experienced another wave of heartache.

"Brother Yan Jiu, what is going on? After you entered the Demon World, what exactly happened? Who sealed you here?"

Ye Lingyue inquired.

As Ye Lingyue asked these questions, Little Jiu Nian’s ears perked up.

He was indeed curious about who turned his father, well, the heartless father, into this state.

Hearing from his godmother before, his father used to be quite good-looking; now, in this ghostly appearance, whether his mother would still want him remained a question.

Uh, no, why should he worry about the heartless father? Hmph, better let his mother not want him.

"Back then, I received news that the Demon Ancestor’s soul was shattered into pieces. Knowing he still wasn’t dead, I wanted to enter the Demon World to find a way for the Demon Ancestor’s rebirth."

Yan Jiu narrated slowly, but suddenly, as he mentioned an aside, he startled and shouted.

"Ling Yue, quickly, take Jiunian and leave!"
