Chapter 497 “Another Ye Ling Yue (1)”

And that was the last of his flickering memories. He couldn’t remember what happened next, all he knew was that after he regained consciousness again, his parents were dead and he became an orphan.

“In that second, I only had one thought in mind, kill them all and save my mother’s life. Even in death, that’s all I wanted,” those fingers had inexplicably tightened into a ball, showing how much frustration the boy really had over his inability to change things.

Watching the changing emotions before her eyes, Ling Yue suddenly had the crazy impulse to hug the boy.

As the chief of the Phoenix Manor and all that’s under him, Feng Shen was carrying far too much burden over that shoulder. Perhaps, not even the boy himself realizes it, but he too was only just a teenager.

Taking a small step forward, the hand hesitated for a bit before finally wrapping itself around the man’s waist. Then letting her head lean in against the stoic chest, they are now one.

“The fault isn’t on you Feng Shen, you were still a child back then. What’s more, you are not alone either. You have Dao Nu, Mr. Mu and many friends now. Also, you have, me…..” When it came to the last part of her sentence, Ling Yue’s voice had devolved into a murmur like she’s too shy to say it aloud.

Like being greatly encouraged, Feng Shen answers the girl in kind with an embrace of his own. And as a complimentary service, he went ahead to peck down at her forehead with a kiss.

This instantly causes her to fall into a panic: “I can’t breathe Feng Shen, you are holding me too tightly. Also , since that Phoenix Edict is your mother’s momentum, I can’t accept it.”

She knew the item held great value, but not this type of memorial value as well! And according to the boy’s meaning, the Phoenix Edict should come in a pair and not just one piece.

“The Phoenix Edict is the heirloom of my family. Now that its been given I won’t take it back. Besides, I think my mother would’ve liked you very much if she was still alive.” All smiles in his handsome face, Feng Shen denies the request with no room for refusal, “It’s getting late, why don’t we call it a night and rest early.”

Sending the girl back to her room, he didn’t leave right away. Instead, the lad remained outside alone in the yard, staring quietly at the sky with a touch of frustration in his face.

In the end I failed to tell her….

He only told half the truth to that story. For the latter half, not even the king knew because he’s been keeping it a secret all these years.

It was right before he lost control. Rage, endless and destructive rage, that’s all he wanted for the evildoers who were slowly closing in on himself. Then what happened afterwards was nothing but a blank slate until he regained consciousness underneath that cliff.

All wet and alone, it wasn’t just him when the king’s men located his whereabouts. In fact, there were a lot of blood, pools of it even scattered across the rocks like a horror show. Yet, not a single body was ever located like they just vanished from thin air.

Against this level of savageness, not even the well-trained soldiers of the king could remain unfazed. They knew the battle must’ve been terrifying based on the traces left behind. So, what did that mean? There’s only one plausible explanation, someone had snatched away the corpses after dismembering them all!

While Feng Shen’s mother was never found after the tragic event, not even a corpse, the boy’s father did eventually return home to the capital though. However, this time around instead of being alive when he left, what came back was nothing more than a cold hard corpse, plus a thousand bodies of his loyal followers.

This was undoubtedly a direct provocation of the royal family: a princess has been killed, the Wargod of North Qing murdered upon his return, and the attempted murder of a prince.
