Urban All-Round Master

In the end, it’s the Supreme Emperor who is truly pitiful. The Taihuang Demon is pitiful for having waited ten years for her beloved. But what she got in return was her lover with someone else. Ten years of affection that is hard to forget.

And the Supreme Emperor? His beloved woman was raped by the family’s people. In the end, she died miserably for him. She even asked him not to seek revenge against the family.

Eventually, he severed his emotional ties in pain and despair. This kind of agony is indescribable.

Even the position of Sect Hierarch that he now holds—years ago, his Hierarch forced him to truly forget all emotions, making him kill his own Hierarch, his mentor who was like a father and mother to him.

Killing a mentor, achieving heartlessness, being emotionless.

Even if he could give up everything, to become heartless, emotionless, he was born in the wrong era, in the same era as the Holy War. Unable to be acknowledged by everyone as the greatest king of the East. Even though the Holy War has been gone for many years, it still lingers in everyone’s sight.

He remains one of the most magnificent figures of this era! A remarkable figure born in the wrong era.

.........

Liu Jiuhuang made her way back to the Beiming Family along the small forest path. Her only daughter was still at the Beiming Mansion. A day and night had already passed. If the Beiming Mansion were to suffer another attack by other Eastern kings, there would be no Great Power to counteract.

Despite her severe injuries, a red light continuously darted through the dense forest, blood flowing from the corners of her mouth. Her Life Force was disappearing rapidly.

Yet, she continually reassured herself. She could not die. Absolutely could not die like this. She still has a daughter, she still has the Liu Shen Clan. The responsibilities she bears are still heavy!

At the Liu Shen Clan, there’s an unwritten rumor that if the position of Mother Empress of the Liu Shen Clan is replaced, the former Mother Empress will not survive more than a few months.

In the unseen, the Liu Shen Clan seems to be under a curse.

If she were to die in this battle, Tangtang is destined to replace the Mother Empress!

”Boom!” Soon, a world-shaking battle erupted in the distant skies of the forest between the Supreme Emperor and Lin Luo from the Lin Family.

Feeling the terrifying aura behind, Liu Jiuhuang rushed back to her family despite the loss of life force.

At this moment, the Beiming Mansion was already in chaos. Fortunately, most of the people were sheltered.

Half of the Beiming Mansion had become a wasteland.

Liu Jiuhuang, with blood marks at the corners of her mouth, and clutching her chest, walked into the Beiming Mansion in utter despair.

What appeared before her were corpses scorched into charcoal. The scene was unbearable.

Boom!

Liu Jiuhuang felt her scalp tingling.

”Tangtang. Tangtang, where are you? Tangtang, I know you won’t die.” At this moment, half of the Beiming Mansion was enveloped in smoke, with bodies hanging in the air. She didn’t know whether the Beiming Mansion had suffered even more terrifying attacks during her departure in the past day and night.

”Tangtang, where are you!”

Suddenly, Liu Jiuhuang shot upward, her rags whistling in the air. Ling Li’s eyes swept over the Beiming Mansion, searching for her daughter’s presence.

”Mother. My mother is back! My mother, she’s back.”

Deep within the Beiming Mansion, upon hearing Liu Jiuhuang’s voice, Tangtang’s excited tears streamed down her cheeks.

”Mother! Mother! I’m here!”

Liu Tangtang shouted loudly for her mother. Even though her mother had pressured her to achieve the position of Mother Empress before, at the root, her mother was always selfless to her.

Swish!

Upon locating the source of the voice, Liu Jiuhuang swiftly transformed into a beam of light and dashed toward the depths of the Beiming Mansion.

Currently, everyone in the Beiming Mansion feared further disasters, hiding within the mansion, not daring to come out.

Now the relationship between the Holy Hall and the Beiming Mansion is like grasshoppers tied on the same string; one’s life or death could endanger the other.

In the face of this great calamity, Beiming Yu had the courage and righteousness to stand up for the Holy Hall, proving that this woman was truly sentimental and righteous.

Upon seeing Liu Jiuhuang descend from the sky, Tangtang’s tears flowed uncontrollably. She wished to rush into her mother’s arms and cry her heart out, recounting all the pains she’s endured to her mother.

After landing, Liu Jiuhuang opened her arms and hugged Tangtang tightly. Indeed, in such a calamity, who knows what might happen next?

Who knows if they’ll ever meet again?

Perhaps, today they are still together, but tomorrow they may not be able to meet.

Huahua, on the other hand, felt extremely uncomfortable.

The people closest to her now are Nangong Bing and Lin Zifeng. Nangong Bing is missing. Lin Zifeng is nowhere to be seen. Detached from everything, seeing Tangtang in her mother’s arms, she could almost feel her tears wanting to fall.

It’s really painful.

So, she walked to the side.

Walking alone to the side.

”Mother, what’s wrong with Huahua?” Beiming Lan noticed Huahua’s current state and felt uneasy.

”She probably misses her cousin. You two should go and comfort her. Maybe since you’re close in age, you might be able to help.” Beiming Yu understood the age gap between herself and them, and she had already comforted Huahua earlier, to no avail.

Now it seems it might be better for those of similar age to comfort her.

”Okay.” Beiming Lan and Beiming Huang are now extremely sensible. In the face of great calamities, who can afford to indulge in emotions? Even wanting to indulge in emotions would be courting death.

Huahua sat alone in the corner, head lowered, silent, like a pitiful little orphan without care.

”Huahua, what’s wrong?”

Beiming Huang approached and took her little hand.

The two girls, both beautiful and with extraordinary temperament.

”Nothing, really.” Huahua slowly looked up at them, then lowered her head again, unwilling to speak.

”It’s very difficult for us all to come together like this. If you have anything on your mind, you can talk to us. Besides, now that the Holy Hall and Beiming Family are united against the enemy, we are all on the same side. If you’re unhappy about anything, you can tell us. We aren’t bad people.”

”Thank you. But for now, I just want to be alone for a while.” Huahua deeply appreciated their good intentions, gave them a slight smile, and then turned to head deeper into the Beiming Mansion on her own.

She didn’t linger due to the kind intentions of Beiming Lan and Beiming Huang.

The two sisters exchanged glances, a bit helpless. It’s best to let Huahua have her peace for now because her future challenges may be even greater. Without acceptance, how can there be responsibility?

......

”Mother Empress, Tangtang thought she would never see you again. Tangtang was so scared, really scared, sob sob.”

In her mother’s embrace, she cried like a three-year-old child, expressing the anxiety and unease of these past days.
