Chapter 822 - 810: Softness (Part 1)
Su Muyao never expected to hear such words.
It seems that destroying the Youluo Sword Sect was indeed a good deed.
Mei Qingchen looked at Su Muyao’s expression and explained, "I learned from the puppet’s memory that the Youluo Sword Sect acted tyrannically and viciously."
"They killed many innocent Beastmen."
...
Soon, they returned to Piaomiao City.
As soon as they entered the alley near their home, they saw, from a distance, a little figure sitting on the doorstep.
Shen Yi was advising, "Little Master, it’s getting dark, come back inside."
Shen Chengrui’s small face was full of determination, "Uncle Shen Yi, you don’t have to worry about me, I’ll just sit here and wait for Mother."
He wanted to wait for Mother to come home.
He missed his mother very much and was very worried about her.
Shen Yi spoke softly, "Little Master, Master has gone to the Taixu Secret Realm and won’t be back for a while, she probably won’t return today."
Shen Yi was worried that the night cold might freeze the Little Master.
If that happened, he’d be letting down Master’s trust.
But despite his young age, the Little Master was very headstrong.
His temperament was also very stubborn.
Especially when he looked at you with those beautifully charming eyes, you’d want to give him your heart just to make him happy.
At these words, Shen Chengrui lowered his head in disappointment.
He knew in his heart that it was late and Mother wouldn’t be coming back today, but he still missed her so much.
Sitting here made him feel closer to her.
"Uncle Shen Yi, do you think Mother might be in danger?"
"It’s all my fault for being too little to protect her."
Every day, besides eating, he practiced cultivation diligently, eager to become stronger.
Even Shen Yi and Shen Qi thought he was working too hard.
But besides this stubbornness of waiting for Master, he was very sensible, dressing and feeding himself, and training independently, hardly requiring any supervision, making him easy to take care of.
Although he wanted to go out and play, he held back.
He was so respectful to them, his subordinates.
Clearly, he was a Pure Blood Blood Clan Beast child, yet he wasn’t cold at all.
Oh, Little Master was just too good.
"Little Master, that’s not it, you’re already very strong and excellent."
"Those Beast children your age can’t even take human form, let alone cultivate."
"You’re already amazing."
At this moment, Shen Qi stepped out and spoke.
In their view, Little Master’s talent was extremely strong, even more so than Master Shen back then.
"Little Master, I just finished making dinner, come inside to eat first."
"Otherwise, the food will get cold."
Shen Chengrui didn’t want to worry Shen Yi and Shen Qi and reluctantly nodded, walking inside.
Because it was quite dark, and the alley was long, with Su Muyao and the others dressed in black, suppressing their auras, Shen Yi and the others did not notice them.
Hearing Zaizai’s recent voice, listening to his words, Su Muyao’s heart ached with a pang, and a sour feeling welled up.
She couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty.
Su Muyao softly called out, "Ruirui."
Shen Chengrui paused mid-step, rubbed his ear, and looked up at Shen Qi, "Sister Shen Qi, I seem to have auditory hallucinations again, I heard Mother call me."
It’s happened many times, so he didn’t dare to turn back.
Shen Qi, excited, turned her head and immediately saw Su Muyao and the others, her fingers trembling with excitement, "Little Master, it’s really Master, they have returned."
"And also my original Master, your father has come back too."
Shen Qi was about to cry with joy.
Of course, as one of the Blood Shadow Guards, she was supposed to be emotionless, just following orders.
But under Master’s influence, she began to have normal Beastmen emotions.
Shen Chengrui quickly turned around, immediately spotting Su Muyao in front of him, and he excitedly shouted, "Mother!"
Su Muyao crouched down, opened her arms, "Mm, I’m back, Mother missed you. Let Mother hold you."
Shen Chengrui’s eyes reddened instantly and he quickly ran towards Su Muyao, leaping into her embrace.
Su Muyao hugged Zaizai, her eyes reddening as well.
She missed all her Zaizais and loved them very much.
Shen Ci’an stood beside them, looking at the little one.
This was his son.
A son of his own blood.
Previously, he had watched Zaizai as Shen Jinsuo, but now seeing him as himself, the feeling was even more different.
His naturally indifferent heart suddenly became incredibly tender.
Yue Wuhen’s fingers trembled slightly, he missed the children.
So looking at Ruirui, he felt love spill over, showing a kind expression.
Mei Qingchen looked on with a touch of envy.
He knew he could have that too, but he first had to undo the Youluo Fragrance.
...
Su Muyao embraced Zaizai for a long time, spoke for a while, snuggled closely, and then carried him indoors.
However, after entering, she didn’t see Di Fu Yuan, her expression changed, and she asked, "Shen Yi, Shen Qi, where is Di Fu Yuan?"
Although Di Fu Yuan existed as a Divine Soul with no physical form, he still existed.
Before she left, he promised to wait for her return.
Shen Yi explained, "Master, I’m sorry, a few days ago, Young Master Di suddenly became extremely translucent and then disappeared on the spot."
Hearing this, Su Muyao’s heart tightened, and she became completely tense.
"How could this be, how could he suddenly disappear on the spot?"
As she asked, her voice was hoarse, and her eyelashes trembled.
Just then, a faint voice suddenly came through the air, it was Di Fu Yuan’s voice, "Little girl, brother is fine, brother will return."
As the voice passed, a breeze blew by.
Su Muyao searched back and forth for any sign of Di Fu Yuan, "Brother..."
But no matter how she called, there was no response from Di Fu Yuan.
The system spoke up, "Host, this was probably a message left by Di Fu Yuan using a Secret Technique when his remnant soul disappeared."
"He doesn’t want you to worry."
Saying not to worry, how could she not be worried?
"Previously, Di Fu Yuan said he’d help take care of Ruirui, so I could go to the Taixu Secret Realm with peace of mind."
"Normally, he wouldn’t leave early, wouldn’t disappear into thin air, something must have happened."
But Su Muyao had no other ideas.
She immediately used her Time Reversal ability to view the scene at that time.
Time Reversal replayed the scene of Di Fu Yuan becoming translucent and disappearing in an instant.
His expression was extremely calm at that time.
As if he knew this would happen.
Su Muyao withdrew her Time Reversal ability, the taste of blood rising in her throat again.
Having previously used an Immortal Technique, she had overdrawn her superpower, her body was weak, she shouldn’t have used Time Reversal again.
But if she didn’t see it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t be at ease.
Yue Wuhen knew who Di Fu Yuan was, and knew how important he was to the wife.
At this time, whatever the wife wanted to do, she couldn’t be persuaded otherwise.
Su Muyao asked Shen Qi and Shen Yi, "Before he disappeared, was there anything unusual?"
Shen Yi thought for a moment and said, "Those days Young Master Di suddenly became silent, not saying much."
"Then at night, he would reinforce the barrier around Little Master’s room, and then leave the house, doing who knows what."
"But he would come back during the day."
"It wasn’t appropriate for us to ask Young Master Di’s matters."
These were the people Master brought back, as subordinates, they couldn’t casually inquire about Young Master Di.
Ruirui spoke up, "Mother, Di’s father taught Ruirui many cultivation methods and told Ruirui many stories."
"And before Ruirui went to sleep, Di’s father would watch over Ruirui, with the same look in his eyes as when Mother went to the Secret Realm."
Su Muyao paused, that was a look of reluctance.
Before leaving for the Taixu Secret Realm, when she looked at Ruirui, it was with a look of reluctance.
She murmured, "So, he knew what would happen, knew he would disappear."
So that was why he had that reaction.
But he didn’t leave any messages.
