Chapter 251: Despicable Father

A phoenix cried out. A huge phoenix appeared on the ground.

Its feathers were of different colours of the rainbow. It waved its wings and the lightning around it ceased. Then, it swung its long tail toward the dragon. Instead of crashing into it, the tail whipped around the dragon like a chain. It was almost as if the phoenix was trying to not hurt the dragon. The phoenix pulled it close and hugged the dragon with its wings.

“Let me go!” Long Zhen screamed. Yet, she could not break out of the phoenix’s grip. She had no choice but to turn back into a human to break free.

Feng San’s reaction was faster than hers. He turned back into human form at the exact same time and managed to keep his hold on her. Since he was bigger and stronger, he tackled her onto the ground and locked her down. “I’m not letting go!”

Long Zhen felt like she was about to explode with rage, yet she could not move. Even her God Power was being suppressed by Feng San. “Feng San, you bastard!”

“Little Zhen, what did you just say? Can you say it once more?” Feng San pleaded agitatedly with the woman pinned down under him. His eyes began to well up. “You said you liked me? Little Zhen, you do like me, don’t you?”

“Get away from me!” Long Zhen glared at him with hatred in her eyes. “I hate you! I’ve wanted to pluck all of your feathers off since 160,000 years ago!”

“Little Zhen...” Feng San’s expression darkened. He buried his head under her chin. “But I like you. I’ve liked you since I was little.”

“My foot!” Long Zhen did not believe him in the least. “You won’t even acknowledge your own son. How dare you say you like me.”

“That dragon egg... really is mine?” Feng San could hardly believe his own ears. It’s been so many years and she still held the dragon egg so dear... And he thought she had no feelings for him.. That was why he had not dared to go up and look for her. He never thought that the egg... was really his. How could it be?

“I thought...”

“What did you think?” Long Zhen’s expression hardened as she laughed mirthlessly. “You left us mother and son behind all those years ago and returned to Wu Qi Mountain without another word. Why bother putting on an act now?”

“No! I didn’t know. I really didn’t know! Someone told me...”

“Get away!” Long Zhen did not want to hear his explanation. She began to struggle again with all her might. “If you want to, just kill me! Otherwise, let me go!”

“No, I’m not letting you go!” Feng San tightened his grip. “I’ve lost you once. I won’t let you go again.”

“Get away, you bastard!”

“No!”

“Let me go!”

“No...”

“I say...” Suddenly, a hesitant female voice spoke up.

The two of them looked up. For some reason, two people were standing in front of them – one bigger and one smaller. They had no idea when the two of them got there, but the two people were watching them struggle with pursed lips.

“Well...” Shen Ying bit her lip and said, “You can flirt if you want to, but don’t play out such a poor drama, will you?” If this carried on, it would really be too corny.

Long Zhen: “...”

Feng San: “...”

Feng Qi Palace.

Feng San stared at the little child in front of him, eyes filling with emotion. His eyes resembled his, as did his nose and his mouth. The more Feng San looked at the child, the more he thought the child resembled him. This was his son! His and Little Zhen’s! He stared on, forgetting to blink. He opened and closed his mouth several times, but no words came out. Finally, he muttered, “Call me Dad.”

Snap! Shen Ying heard the sound of something falling apart.

Yi Qing pursed his lips. He drew his immortal sword immediately.

“Master, can I chop him up?”

Shen Ying: “...”

Calm down, Chef! No matter how despicable he is, he is your biological father. You can’t eat him!

“Hmph!” Long Zhen tutted. She remained expressionless. “Why are you now acknowledging him for the sake of it?”

Feng San paled. He sighed and walked toward her.. “Little Zhen, I...”

“Stop right there!” Long Zhen shot him a sharp glare. “Get away from me!”

Feng San had no choice but to retreat back to his original position. “I really didn’t know that the dragon egg was my son. You gave me an ultimatum that time. In a fit of anger, I decided to leave the Dragon Abyss and return to Wu Qi Mountain. Later, I heard that you had a kid... that’s why I thought!”

“You thought the child was someone else’s?” Long Zhen scoffed.

Feng San lowered his head like a child who knew he was in the wrong. “It’s all my fault. All these years, I did not dare to ask you myself. I’ve wronged you for so many years as a result.”

Long Zhen tutted and took a deep breath in to suppress the anger rising in her throat. She closed her eyes and said, “I don’t want to think about the past anymore. I just want to ask you why was there Yin Qi in my dragon egg.”

“I really don’t know anything about Yin Qi!” Feng San said anxiously. “I do know one or two ghost immortal, but I just chanced upon them the other time at the Yin River.”

“The Yin River?” Long Zhen paused. “When did you go to the Yin River?”

Feng San hesitated, realising that he had said something he was not supposed to. He subconsciously turned to the little child next to Shen Ying.

Long Zhen jumped, eyes widening. “You were the one who broke into the Underworld and sent the dragon spirit to Samsara?” Her expression changed. “How could it be? I pleaded with-”

“I told him not to say it,” Feng San sighed. “I know you very well. If you knew it was me, you may not have agreed to get help.”

Long Zhen fell silent. She hated him to the core then. How could she have accepted his help?

Feng San stepped forward, his emotions welling up in his eyes again. He sighed, “You don’t have to mind that. When I went to the Yin River that time, I got to know a couple of ghost immortals. Later, my body got infected by the death Qi from the Yin River. That triggered the ancient fire phoenix in my meridians and led to me ascending to become a Supreme Divinity. We could say it was a blessing in disguise.”

At the time, the dragon spirit in the egg was so weak that it could not have withstood any reincarnation sorcery. That was why they had to send the spirit to the Reincarnation Stage in the Underworld. In order to get there, they had to cross the Yin River.

Feng San spoke in a relaxed manner, but the water in that Yin River could always infect the souls of divine beings. There was nothing relaxing about it. He must have been backed to a corner when the ancient fire phoenix was triggered.

Long Zhen frowned. She could not figure out what exactly she was feeling. At first, she thought he let her down, refused to acknowledge their child, and so left the Dragon Abyss. She never thought that he was the one who sent the dragon spirit into Samsara!

“I really did not know how the Yin Qi got into the dragon egg,” Feng San lowered his voice and said warily. “But I promise you. I will help you find out. How’s that?”

Long Zhen glanced at him. Her expression was conflicted. She slowly relaxed, and then stiffened again. “No need!” She closed her eyes, then opened it with renewed determination. “On account of the fact that you were the one who sent my dragon baby to Samsara, I will forget what you owed me from before. I’ll figure out who put the Yin Qi in the egg myself!” She turned to leave.

“Little Zhen!” Feng San shouted. He ran in front of her and cast a spell to lockdown her position, then pulled her into his arms. “I will not let you leave me. All these years, you have been the only one in my heart.”

Long Zhen could not move but she glanced at him coolly and clenched her fists by her side.

Feng San continued, “Little Zhen, let’s not carry on with this wrong. Please trust me this once, alright?”

“Reporting to Supreme Divinity,” a voice said the moment Feng San finished speaking. “The 438th new madam has arrived. Should I arrange the rear hall?”

Feng San: “...”

Shen Ying: “...”

Yi Qing: “...”

Ah, his promise backfired so quickly.
