Chapter 1399: Chapter 44 Elderly Mother_2
“Speak!”
“Say it!”
“Co on, speak!”
In an instant, a manic, demon-like voice echoed throughout the entire cave!
Countless stones fell, making a rustling noise.
The surrounding Primordial Spirits lowered their heads in wails, cowering in place.
...
Qin Lingxiao only felt her soul swelling, her body aching as if it were about to split.
She could even clearly feel her body turning into nothingness.
But at this mont, she still forcefully cald her spirit, her thoughts racing.
The sights she had seen when she encountered Yuchen’s corpse, as well as the old crone’s recent words to her, all rushed to her mind, sparking a fleeting glimr of inspiration, she exclaid urgently:
“He’s dead!”
“But with his dying breath, he couldn’t let go of you!”
“I’ve co here to fulfill his last wish, to return his body!”

As her words ended.
The entire cave fell silent in an instant.
Around her, there seed to be a deathly stillness.
Qin Lingxiao was incredibly tense.
In her ears, she heard the old crone’s slightly hoarse and rasp voice:
“You just said, Yuchen… is dead?”
Qin Lingxiao struggled to raise her head, but she couldn’t see the old crone’s face hidden in the shadows.
Despite feeling incredibly apprehensive, she still gritted her teeth and nodded:
“That’s right, and he has been dead for a long ti.”
The old crone fell silent for a mont.
She seed to have regained her composure from before, her voice hoarse as she asked:
“How did he die?”
Sensing the old crone’s change, Qin Lingxiao’s heart felt a bit relieved.
She dared not conceal it and promptly recounted how she found Yuchen’s corpse beside the Truth mbrane Eye in the Eightfold Sea.
After a long while, the old crone finally spoke with a distant look:
“When he left back then, he said he was going to gather enough Yuanci power to enter Zhongsheng Continent with , into the increasingly rare Class V…”
“But he never ca back, he never did… I gave birth to our child alone, nad her Yu Wuheng, I alone improved the outdated Yuanci True thod, I alone reached Class V…”
“I’ve been waiting for him, but he never ca.”
“I took people to Fenglin Continent, to Xi Tuo Continent, Daosheng Continent, Jingyuan Continent…”
“But I couldn’t find him anywhere, nowhere at all.”
“Because of him, Wuheng grew up without a father, she blas , hates , because of him, I also went mad, killed countless people!”
“But he’s already dead… Just died in an unknown place like that…”
Qin Lingxiao felt sowhat uneasy.
The current calmness was like the silence before the storm.
And the next mont, her uneasiness was imdiately validated.
The old crone suddenly lowered her head, staring at her intently:
“He’s dead… why are you all still alive?”
“He’s dead… why has Fenglin Continent not turned into a Yuanci world!”
Qin Lingxiao inwardly exclaid, not good!
But now she had no choice but to try and change the crone’s mind.
“The endeavors of Senior Yuchen were not only the fortune of Fenglin Continent but the fortune of the whole Little Cang World! Senior Li, you should know the character of Senior Yuchen. He generously t his death only to protect the Little Cang World, to protect the people. Can you really go against Senior Yuchen’s wishes?”
“Do you want to prevent him from resting in peace?”
“Last wishes?”
“Not resting in peace…”
The old crone’s gaze beca vacant, as she suddenly rembered that increasingly blurry figure.
In this mont, she realized she could no longer recall his face clearly.
Eons had passed in a hurry.
Her husband’s face had blurred.
His voice had also been forgotten.
She only rembered their ti together, cultivating together, living together.
She only rembered when he spoke passionately, the light in his eyes shining like the sun…
Only rembered after a closed-door cultivation, he would pick a flower for her, tucking it beside her ear.
So bright, like the spring light of March.
And these had beco the only warm undertone deep within her heart.
It kept her alive until today.
“Emotional tribulation…”
Qin Lingxiao watched as the old crone’s furrowed brow slowly cleared of its gloom, and while she let out a sigh of relief, she also couldn’t help but silently shake her head.
This partner of Senior Yuchen, who had never managed to break through her own emotional tribulations, still had the confidence to help her resolve these issues.
However, at the sa ti, the image of Wang Ba inexplicably erged in her mind.
Initially avoided subconsciously, the emotions within her heart, after witnessing the old crone’s ordeal, now seed a bit more tranquil.
“So this is the bitterness of longing for the unattainable?”
She looked at the crone’s furrowed brow, almost seeing a reflection of herself.
The difference was, the crone and Yuchen were husband and wife, whereas she and he had no relationship at all.
“Well, if it’s going to be this bitter, it’s not worth the taste anyway…”
She silently comforted herself.
But as for how effective this comfort was, even she was unsure.
Watching the crone’s hair drooping gradually, Qin Lingxiao’s previous fear also settled down.
The old crone suddenly spoke up:
“You, you just said… you brought the body of my husband here?”
Qin Lingxiao promptly replied:
“Not on , but with another who ca with , he and I… together encountered Senior Yuchen.”
The old crone’s eyes grew cold, a fierce aura focusing on her again:
“Are you lying to ?”
Qin Lingxiao felt a chill run down her spine, quickly shaking her head:
“I dare not, the situation is indeed as such. We ca here from Fenglin Continent, and outside in the Yuanci Sea, we t a cultivator from Zhongsheng Continent executing Divinity Transformation, who chased us all the way, and then we were blown in by that strange wind, and hence we got separated.”
