For a moment, no one spoke!
The Nine-headed Bug was showing off its might, yet it had suddenly slipped up and been shattered by a Celestial Tablet. This was already shocking enough, and when someone noticed the aged aura around him, it was even more shocking, as if they had seen a ghost. Who knew how many words were stuck in their hearts, but they did not dare to say them. Because of this, when the Nine-headed Bug turned to look at the mother of dragon, Yu Mei Er, and softly said those words, no one dared to disturb them. They all looked at the pair of inexplicably sorrowful siblings in confusion …
What the Nine-headed Bug mentioned was indeed suspicious!
Even the descendants of the Cang Lan Sea only knew that Dragon Mother didn't follow them after they stepped onto the path of immortals!
Until now, who knew how many times they had asked the Nine-headed Bug but he never answered them directly!
Since they were siblings that depended on each other, why did he abandon Dragon Mother in Tian Yuan?
The opportunity to become an immortal was extremely precious. Countless people yearned for it but couldn't get it. The Nine-headed Bug had this opportunity but didn't share it with Dragon Mother. To outsiders, it was a puzzling matter. It was like Dragon Mother and her brother plotted to take over the Cang Lan Sea for many years. Now that it was time to share the fruits of their labor, the Nine-headed Bug kicked his only sister away …
After that, Dragon Mother Yu Mei 'er tried her best to trick Gou Li Sage's younger brother, Mister Lan. Through Mister Lan, she gathered Lu Sou, Mister Wen, and the withered old woman. The five elders chased after Fang Xing and Ao Lie and entered the path of immortals. Their goal was to use their own strength to enter the path of immortals again. They probably wanted to catch up to the path of immortals and question their brother, the Nine-headed Bug!
"We took over the Cang Lan Sea together. Why did you abandon me?"
"You and I were siblings that depended on each other. Why did you kick me away when you saw the opportunity to become an immortal?"
Of course, when she saw the Nine-headed Bug's frail appearance, her heart ached and she forgot to question him!
But the Nine-headed Bug understood what she meant. At this moment, he smiled bitterly and asked if she understood …
Yu Mei 'er was so sad that she wanted to die. She looked at the Nine-headed Bug with soft eyes and walked over slowly …
"Why? Why did you have to chase after me? "
At this moment, the Nine-headed Bug was like an old man whose lifespan was about to end at any moment. The way he looked at Yu Mei 'er was the only light in his murky eyes. His voice was filled with despair and pity. "The path to Immortality is difficult, it's really difficult … I told you in Heaven's Yuan, even I have less than a thirty percent chance of passing the path to Immortality … You are my only sister, how can I let you take this risk with me? You know the flaws in our inheritance, so how would I dare to bring you along? "
Yu Mei 'er had already walked up to him. Her beautiful face looked up at him. Dragon Mother was the kind of peerlessly beautiful and charming type. She was like a ripe peach, but at this moment, looking at the Nine-headed Bug at such a close distance, her face revealed the innocence of a little girl. The way she looked at the Nine-headed Bug was like a little sister looking at the big brother she admired!
"You are my little sister, my only family in this world. Silly girl, how could I abandon you?"
The Nine-headed Bug smiled bitterly and his tone softened. "I was thinking that after I crossed the path to Immortality and cultivated my body to Immortality, I would come back to Heaven's Yuan to pick you up. But why couldn't you wait for a few years and chase after me? Do you really think that Big Brother will forget about you after he becomes an immortal? Do you really think that he can bear to see your hair turn white? Little sister, you are as stupid as when you were young … "
"You are the stupid one …"
Yu Mei 'er finally spoke. Her voice was extremely sad, and there was a hint of imperceptible pout and a trembling voice. "Big Brother, you already knew that you didn't have much lifespan left and that you couldn't cross the path to Immortality, right? Otherwise, in the Celestial Mirror, how could you have escaped with your tail between your legs by relying on those deceiving people? You didn't want to fight him head-on and waste your lifespan for nothing, right? "
Her fingertips lightly touched the Nine-headed Bug's face and trembled slightly.
"Since you already knew that you didn't have much lifespan left, you should have brought me along. Are you afraid …"
"I am very afraid, very afraid …"
The Nine-headed Bug's murky eyes suddenly flashed with violence and his voice was vicious. "Do you know what kind of oath I made when I was young? I must become an Immortal, I must make my Nine Spirits Clan a great clan in the universe, I must make all the gods not dare to look down on me and my sister. So, in order to become an Immortal, I can sacrifice everything, including myself, including …"
He looked at Yu Mei 'er and didn't finish his sentence. After a pause, he continued in a desperate manner, "I know that I don't have much lifespan left and I may not be able to cross the path to Immortality. I also know what I will do when I don't have much lifespan left. I'm afraid that I will do that, so I didn't want to bring you along because I'm afraid that I …"
"I can't help it …"
When he said the last sentence, the Nine-headed Bug's entire body started to tremble and his murky eyes started to turn red.
Strange, terrifying!
That was the feeling the Nine-headed Bug gave off!
An old aura appeared on his body at one moment, like a candle flickering in the wind. At another moment, it was the aura of a sage. It was indescribably sacred and brilliant like the sky. But at another moment, his eyes were filled with blood-red killing intent. He looked like a demon that was about to devour someone …
Even his entire body started to struggle in pain after he roared out those words. He squatted down and held his head with both hands.
He seemed to have a splitting headache, but it also seemed like he wanted to die. He started to howl.
"Big Brother … Big Brother … Don't be like this, little sister knows …"
Yu Mei 'er also seemed to be nervous. She hurried forward and pressed down on the Nine-headed Bug's withered white hair. She comforted him softly as if she was coaxing a baby to sleep. "Big Brother, other people don't know the pain in your heart, but I do. Now that so many years have passed, I remember everything clearly. The pain you suffered, the injuries you suffered, I remember it all …"
"When we were young, because our Nine Spirits Clan had no immortals, we were bullied everywhere. In the end, our clan was exterminated. When you saw our clan being slaughtered, you covered my eyes with your hands to prevent me from seeing that bloody scene. Then, you cried and swore that you would become an immortal, that you would become the strongest person in the world, that you would make the Nine Spirits Clan the strongest clan in the world, so strong that no one would dare to look at you. You would make all our enemies turn into ashes and never be able to reincarnate. You would make all the gods and buddhas bow respectfully when they see us, not daring to look at us …"
"Big Brother, you don't know this, but when I saw the bloody corpses of my parents and clansmen, I was scared out of my wits. But when you covered my eyes and swore in my ear, I was suddenly not afraid anymore. Because I knew that you would protect me, I swore in my heart … I will help you, I will help you at all costs!"
"…"
"…"
The conversation between Yu Mei 'er and the Nine-headed Bug caused everyone to fall silent for a long time.
No one would have thought that this pair of siblings had such a past …
Even that group of mixed-blood dragon descendants didn't know that their mother and uncle had such a past …
They didn't know that the Nine Spirits Clan had been exterminated before. They only knew that for as long as they could remember, there were only two people in the Nine Spirits Clan. One was their mother, who was always smiling, and the other was their uncle, who never smiled …
For a moment, they all fell silent. They looked at the pair of siblings with indescribable silence.
Not far away, the group of Immortal Steles seemed to have fallen silent after the Nine-headed Bug was pushed back. They didn't attack.
"You … for the sake of your oath, you didn't care about yourself, you lived a lonely life …"
"And I … also swore to help you at all costs …"
Yu Mei 'er pressed the Nine-headed Bug's head lightly and finished her words with a trembling voice. Then, she squatted down. Facing the indescribably old Nine-headed Bug, she felt like she was facing a child. She held his face with both hands and looked straight into his eyes. There were tears on her face, but she was smiling at the same time. Her smile was unusually bright, without a hint of flirtatiousness. She was like a white pear flower that had been drenched in rain. "Big Brother, I don't regret chasing after you at all. Because I prepared for this day …"
"You …"
The Nine-headed Bug stared blankly at her face. His murky eyes were filled with greed and scarlet for a moment, and then filled with fear the next.
"Eat me …"
Yu Mei 'er said softly, as though she was talking about something insignificant.
"Take away my lifespan, my body … We are of the same race, and we cultivate the same inheritance. I can make up for your losses, and I can allow you to continue fighting …" Yu Mei 'er said softly with a smile. "So, eat me …"
"Then continue forward until you reach the other side of the Immortal Path. Become an Immortal, and fulfill your oath!"
Boom!
Dragon Mother Yu Mei 'er's words were very light, but in the ears of the people around her, it was no different from the rumbling of thunder!
In an instant, all the dragon children and grandchildren had a look of disbelief on their faces!
They couldn't believe what they were hearing!
Even Dragon Lady couldn't help but widen her eyes at this moment. She looked at the pair of siblings in fear …
"Nine-headed Bug, how dare you …"
"Mother, come back quickly, don't let him hurt you …"
After a short moment of shock, all the dragon children and grandchildren rushed forward as though they had gone mad.
Their faces were filled with grief and fear. They couldn't believe what they had just heard. They just wanted to pull the Dragon Mother back quickly …
"Go back!"
Just as they rushed forward, the Nine-headed Bug didn't react at all. Yu Mei 'er suddenly turned her head and shouted. Her expression was so ferocious and angry that the group of dragon children and grandchildren were stunned on the spot. They didn't dare to rush forward.
After Yu Mei 'er shouted at the group of dragon children and grandchildren, she turned her face to the Nine-headed Bug and became gentle again.
"This is between us siblings, it has nothing to do with you …"
