Chapter 305: Mother of the Mountain - Confrontation
Sun Wukong excitedly ran up to Zhao Lingyue, scratching his ears and cheeks. "Master, Master, it's me, the little monkey!"
Zhao Lingyue's gaze slowly fell on Sun Wukong, and a gentle smile appeared at the corners of her mouth. "You've grown up."
Suddenly, her pupils constricted in shock. "I remember now! It's her... it's her, Yuan Pu..."
Zhao Lingyue trembled all over and began to cry. Li Xiaonan couldn't help but furrow his brow, thinking to himself: It seems my guess was right; Xian'er's father must not have ascended to godhood but has completely vanished.
"Mother..." Yuan Xian'er slowly floated in front of Zhao Lingyue, tears welling in her eyes.
Zhao Lingyue abruptly lifted her head, looking up and down at Yuan Xian'er, choking back her emotions. "Yes, yes! I am your mother with Yuan Pu! You're alive! It's so good that you're alive!"
Yuan Xian'er nodded and suddenly leaped into Zhao Lingyue's embrace.
Chen Yaojin flew to Li Xiaonan's side, lamenting, "Sigh... I should be happy that my sister-in-law has reunited with her mother, but my Heavenly Opening Axe is completely broken..."
Li Xiaonan chuckled. "Silly boy, have you forgotten what your boss is capable of? If one Demigod weapon is broken, I'll just give you a divine artifact."
As Li Xiaonan spoke, he waved his right hand, gathering the fragments of the Heavenly Opening Axe into his palms, a faint golden light swirling in his hands.
Zhao Lingyue frowned slightly. "What a strong divine aura. Who is he?"
Yuan Xian'er smiled and said, "Mother, he is Xian'er's husband. Li Xiaonan is the one who rescued you from this divine mountain."
Li Xiaonan grinned foolishly at Zhao Lingyue and said, "Li Xiaonan greets the Mother of the Mountain."
"You are a god."
"Not really, I can only be considered a Demigod at most."
Zhao Lingyue nodded and asked, "Do you like my daughter?"
"I do," Li Xiaonan replied while refining the fragments of the Heavenly Opening Axe in his hand.
Though his tone seemed casual, the sincerity in his unwavering response was immediately apparent.
Two pink clouds of embarrassment floated onto Yuan Xian'er's face, a rare display of shyness for her.
Li Xiaonan gazed dreamily at the work in his hands, momentarily distracted.
Seeing Li Xiaonan's foolish expression, Yuan Xian'er playfully chided, "You silly boy, haven't you looked enough? You're about to drool!"
Li Xiaonan chuckled and replied, "I could never look enough; a lifetime wouldn't be sufficient."
No wonder he always felt that Xian'er had an ethereal Celestial Aura about her. Standing next to her mother made it all clear.
It all stemmed from excellent genes; she truly was a descendant of the divine race.
Zhao Lingyue was quite pleased with Li Xiaonan's answer. She said, "My daughter is a descendant of the divine race—five hundred years to adulthood, five hundred years to manifest divine signs, and five hundred years to understand destiny. Few can match her, and not only do you possess Demigod cultivation, but more importantly, you both genuinely like each other."
Li Xiaonan's heart leaped with joy as he asked, "So the Mother of the Mountain acknowledges me as her son-in-law?"
"Of course, but you must agree to one thing to prove your commitment to my daughter," she replied.
At that moment, Li Xiaonan was in high spirits and immediately agreed, "Mother of the Mountain, don’t mention just one thing; I would do ten if needed."
Zhao Lingyue nodded and said, "When the time is right, I will tell you."
Her gaze slowly fell upon the golden hairpin, Buxiao, in Yuan Xian'er's hair, and a look of sorrow flickered in her eyes.
However, Li Xiaonan's thoughts returned to the forging of divine artifacts, and he did not pay much attention to her expression. After all, opportunities to forge divine artifacts were extremely rare.
He brought his palms together and then opened them, revealing a gleaming golden battle axe in his hands. With a loud shout, he threw the axe into the air and used the spiritual power of the sacred tree to sketch various formations onto the axe.
Zhao Lingyue, who had remained silent until now, shook her head and said, "You won't be able to forge a divine artifact this way."
Li Xiaonan was taken aback; the formations he was about to engrave suddenly scattered. He asked in confusion, "Then how should I forge a divine artifact?"
Zhao Lingyue smiled lightly, clearly pleased. "Your cultivation is high, yet you are humble enough to listen to others' opinions. That's very good. Your method for forging divine artifacts is fine, but these formations won't work."
Li Xiaonan scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed by the praise. He asked, "So what should I do?"
"Heaven and Earth Principle: The greatest difference between the Mystical Immortal Array and the Divine Array lies in the rules; the one who establishes the rules is a deity, while the one who follows them is human."
Li Xiaonan was taken aback and exclaimed, "I understand now."
After saying this, he sat cross-legged in mid-air, the Heavenly Opening Axe floating gently before him, swaying up and down.
He slowly closed his eyes, channeling the divine tree within the Spirit Platform, constantly sorting through his understanding of time and space in his mind.
Strange golden light emerged from his forehead, and from a distance, Li Xiaonan appeared to have developed a third eye.
As these scattered golden rays touched the Heavenly Opening Axe, they seemed to come alive, forming various bizarre array symbols that landed on the axe.
"Concentrate!" With Li Xiaonan's powerful shout, a battle axe engraved with strange patterns hovered in mid-air. Even more astonishingly, a line of small characters that should not have existed reappeared on the axe's handle.
Li Xiaonan extended his right hand, and the Heavenly Opening Axe steadily fell into his grasp. He couldn't help but chuckle, "Why are you so vain? Even your weapon spirit won't come out unless you claim you're invincible. With your gluttonous master around, restoring you shouldn't be too difficult."
As he spoke, he tossed the Heavenly Opening Axe to Chen Yaojin.
Chen Yaojin weighed it in his hands and immediately lit up with excitement. "Boss, are you really giving this to me?"
"It's not a gift; I'm returning it to you. This Heavenly Opening Axe originally belonged to you. Just remember to leave a bite for it when you eat. Only when its weapon spirit fully awakens will it truly be considered a divine artifact," Li Xiaonan replied with a smile.
Chen Yaojin nodded vigorously like he was pounding garlic, filled with immense joy.
Li Xiaonan's actions earned even more praise from Zhao Lingyue. She smiled and said, "Xian'er, this boy surpasses your father in many ways. Your judgment is commendable."
Yuan Xian'er’s face turned even redder as she asked, "Mother, what does Father look like? Has he become a god?"
Zhao Lingyue was momentarily taken aback and didn’t answer her. Instead, she said to Li Xiaonan, "I have been frozen for too long, which has harmed my internal organs. I need a place with a Spiritual Vein to recuperate."
Li Xiaonan immediately understood. "Why don't we take Mother of the Mountain back to Cloud Sky Pavilion? That’s where Xian'er and I live. Not only is there a Spiritual Vein, but also elixirs that should be very beneficial for Mother of the Mountain's injuries."
Yuan Xian'er looked at Li Xiaonan's serious and scholarly demeanor and couldn’t help but want to laugh. She thought to herself: When did Xiao Nan become like those antiquated immortals?
Li Xiaonan stared blankly at Yuan Xian'er, whose face was flushed, and couldn’t help but ask, "Xian'er, what's wrong?"
She quickly shook her head and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. "Mother, please come back with me. From now on, we mother and daughter will never be separated again."
Zhao Lingyue nodded and said to Li Xiaonan, "I have some research on the Cultivation of Divinity as well. Once I feel better, I will organize a collection of texts to give to you."
"Thank you, Mother of the Mountain."
Li Xiaonan then led Zhao Lingyue and the others toward Cloud Sky Pavilion.
Along the way, he felt grateful for one thing.
From Zhao Lingyue's various reactions earlier, it became increasingly clear that Yuan Xian'er’s father was dead.
Moreover, it was highly likely that Zhao Lingshan had killed him.
Sigh... Thankfully, Lu Ni Chang went to find that crazy woman back at Gai Huang Star; otherwise, when these two sisters met, it would definitely be like old friends meeting—wanting to stomp each other to death.
As soon as Li Xiaonan and the group returned to the entrance of Cloud Sky Pavilion, Lu Nishang leaped into his arms.
He affectionately ruffled her silver hair and said, "You're back so soon."
" Ling Kui " stepped out of the courtyard with a smile, saying, "Where do you think you're going? This girl never left the Cloud Sky Pavilion."
Suddenly, Li Xiaonan's right eyelid twitched uncontrollably, and he felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
Clearing his throat, he asked the person in his arms, "Where is your mother?"
"She refused to leave and insisted on staying here. Sister Ling agreed, so she is still at the Cloud Sky Pavilion."
Li Xiaonan's mouth dropped open as if he could swallow a frog whole.
He sighed inwardly: It's over, it's over.
At that moment, Zhao Lingyue slowly walked up behind Li Xiaonan and asked, "Who are these two?"
Both Ling Kui and Lu Nishang were momentarily stunned into silence.
"They are all my..." Li Xiaonan began to explain when Zhao Lingshan suddenly appeared right in front of him.
With a cold smile, she said, "So it’s you. You actually came out."
Zhao Lingyue was also taken aback and said, "Hmph, you must be hoping I wouldn't come out."
Li Xiaonan awkwardly swallowed hard and immediately sent a voice message to Ling Kui and Lu Nishang, informing them of the events that had transpired.
Lu Nishang gasped and covered her mouth, afraid she might scream out loud.
Zhao Lingyue glanced at Li Xiaonan and said, "Good son-in-law, didn't you say you liked Xian'er and were willing to do a hundred things for me? To become the Mother of the Mountain, all you need to do is one thing: kill this woman to avenge your father-in-law."
Sun Wukong was the first to react, asking, "Auntie, what do you mean by revenge? Didn't Master ascend to the divine realm?"
Tears welled up in Zhao Lingyue's eyes; if it weren't for her desire not to show weakness in front of her enemies, she would have already burst into tears.
Taking a deep breath, she said bitterly, "I was with your Master when this woman, Divine Calamity, suddenly intervened, causing your Master to be obliterated on the spot. As a descendant of the divine race, I managed to survive, but I was affected by Fetal Qi, leading to a premature birth."
"Hmph! I always thought that you and that bastard's child had been killed by me. I didn't expect that you had been alive all along. That was my oversight."
"Pah! My daughter won't die. If anyone is to die, it should be you. You deserve to be cut off from your lineage..."
Li Xiaonan looked at the two Mothers of the Mountain with a black line across his forehead and thought to himself: Stop cursing! You're cursing my wife! If anyone is cut off from their lineage... it will be me in the end...
"Li Xiaonan! What are you dawdling for? Get moving!" Zhao Lingyue shouted immediately upon seeing him frozen in place.
Li Xiaonan was taken aback, unsure of what to do.
Zhao Lingshan interjected, "He won't act against me. Don't think he only cares for your daughter; my daughter is also his wife, and I am also his Mother of the Mountain."
Zhao Lingyue glared at her and asked, "Is that true?"
Yuan Xian'er and Lu Nishang flew to his side simultaneously and said, "That's right; they are all my wives."
"Hahaha! Good! Zhao Lingshan, return my husband's life!"
"Get lost!"
As the two goddesses transformed into Goddess Gone Mad, they began to grapple with each other.
One had just shed her skin and was injured, while the other had been frozen for hundreds of years.
At that moment, neither could muster even a fraction of their True Essence; they were entirely relying on instinct to fight.
Chen Yaojin couldn't help but shiver, murmuring to himself, "Beautiful women shouldn't be too fierce..."
