Chapter 632 I Love You, Mother
Chapter 632 I Love You, Mother
Huoyun Yurou woke up from her son's memory with a heavy heart. With her realm, she could be considered standing at the pinnacle of the world, but this mysterious woman gave her an endless horror. And she was aware that the strength the woman displayed earlier was only the tip of the iceberg. It was difficult to imagine what her true power was.
"You understand now, mother?" Huoyun Xiaohuo asked softly.
Huoyun Yurou took a few deep breaths and turned to Yun Lintian. "Who exactly are you?"
Yun Lintian had no idea what Huoyun Yurou saw earlier to make her ask this question. He did not know how to answer this.
Huoyun Xiaohuo spoke on Yun Lintian's behalf. "He didn't even know himself, mother. This question has to ask that person."
Huoyun Yurou, of course, knew this. She merely asked it out of the complicated feeling she had. She looked at her son and asked softly. "Why are you so stupid? Do you think that I will force you to inherit the throne?"
Huoyun Xiaohuo was too embarrassed to speak. Back then, he was so fed up with everything around him. He had to shoulder whether it was his duty as a crown prince and his responsibility in the future. The appearance of Yan Qi inspired him to follow his wish of traveling around the world.
Was he a selfish person? The answer was yes. He was extremely selfish in escaping away from everything. Was he regretting it? The answer was no. The only thing he felt terrible about it was probably making his mother worry about him.
Seeing her son like this, Huoyun Yurou sighed softly. She didn't blame him for being willful in the slightest. However, the entire clan needed someone to shoulder, and the token's missing led the clan into this situation. This was something she felt sorry for her clansmen who sacrificed their lives in the past. And it was also a reason she intended to exchange her life in the coming days.
At this moment, Huoyun Xiaohuo's flame figure swayed violently as though he was about to dissipate. The scene startled everyone, and Huoyun Yurou quickly utilized her profound energy to stabilize her son's residual soul, but it seemed to no avail.
Seeing this, Yun Lintian hurriedly asked. "Hongyue, is there a way to help him?"
"Are you talking about reconstructing his body?" Hongyue replied casually. "You should forget about it. His current soul is conjured by the last trace of his profound strength before he completely loses his power. It is entirely different from me, who has my soul intact. Even if you have everything ready, it is impossible to bring him back… So, give up."
Yun Lintian's hands involuntarily clenched into fists upon hearing this. He asked with unwillingness. "What about the Soul Pond?"
"Didn't you hear what I said earlier? I said even if you have everything, whether it is a soul pond or the Tree of Life, it is impossible to help him…. Unless…." Hongyue replied with a frown.
"Unless what?" Yun Lintian hurriedly asked.
"Unless you can turn back time." For some reason, Hongyue's voice seemed to carry a hint of solemness when she spoke.
"Damn it!" Yun Lintian couldn't help cursing inwardly. Turning back time? What a joke was that? How could he possibly do it?
At this time, Huoyun Xiaohuo knew that his time was almost gone. He looked at his mother and then at the Huoyun sisters. "You two must be Second Uncle's daughters. I know it's ridiculous to say this, counting my selfish actions. However, I will say it anyway… I hope you two lead our clan back to the glory day and do not repeat my mistake."
The Huoyun sisters hurriedly bowed their heads and said in unison. "Don't worry, Crown Prince. This is our duty."
Huoyun Xiaohuo nodded gently and turned to look at his mother, who was about to cry once again. He gave her the best and gentlest smile as he spoke. "Mother, it's time for me to go. Please do not do anything stupid. Giving Little Brother Yun time, and no one in this world could be his opponent. All we need to do is try to help him as much as we can."
Huoyun Yurou stared at her son's face attentively as though she wanted to engrave his appearance into her soul. No matter how unwilling she was, she knew it was impossible to bring her son back.
"Don't worry, you can go with peace of mind." Huoyun Yurou forced a smile, trying to reassure her son, but it was too difficult for her to hide the emotion. Two streaks of tears gradually flowed out of her eyes again.
Huoyun Xiaohuo couldn't bear to watch his mother sad, but there was nothing he could do since this was the result of his own selfishness. He reached his hand out and "touched" his mother's cheeks, trying to wipe the tears away. "Mother, this unfilial son is going to reunite with Royal Father soon. We will watch you from the sky… I love you, mother."
As his voice fell, his flame figure began to sway violently again, and his appearance gradually faded away.
"Son!" Huoyun Yurou stretched her hands out, trying to grab on to her son, but the latter had turned into an ordinary flame that could disappear at any moment.
"Please take care of them and let them live a good life." Huoyun Xiaohuo's voice resounded in Yun Lintian's mind before the flame dissipated.
Yun Lintian looked at the last bit of flame and said solemnly. "Please rest assured. I will try my best to help them."
Yun Lintian didn't know whether it was an illusion as he saw Huoyun Xiaohuo nod his head at him before the flame completely vanished.
"Son! Don't go! Don't leave mom!" Huoyun Yurou broke down. Her body trembled violently, and her arms continued to swing aimlessly.
"Grandma!" The Huoyun sisters quickly supported her grandmother and cried along with her. Throughout the years, they knew that her grandmother's greatest wish was to see her son once again. Now, it could be said her wish had been fulfilled. They didn't know what would happen to her from now on.
