Clapping her hands as if she had touched something incomparably filthy, Ariel yawned as she flicked her finger tearing open a portal."Xiaoman, take over. I need a long nap." Ariel spoke as her eyes dimmed.
Up above the darkness receded as the immeasurably huge Jade statue which had cupped Nraka in it"s hands, began to fade away into the void like a ghostly mirage.
The surrounding darkness was once again brightened with countless tiny stars.
The incarnation"s eyes lit up again as it"s mouth replied. "Yes Mistress, thank you for the timely help."
After regaining control of the incarnation Qin Tian, Rong Xiaoman blinked her eyes as she inspected the surroundings.
She found the black palace quite familiar but it was strangely detached from any form of significant landscape at all. Only the small amount of ground it was built upon remained.
In the distance, she could see the ma.s.sive statue of Ariel holding a cube. Although the statue was beautiful, the cube completely ruined it"s majestic presence. The terrifying aura that permeated it left Rong Xiaoman shivering in fear.
[I can hear screaming coming from that cube..I should stay away from it] Deciding to ignore it, she looked around a bit more as her curiosity had been peaked.
[Where did everything go?] Rong Xiaoman thought as she walked to the edge of the island. Reaching the end and looking down with a interested gaze, she gasped loudly when she saw the shattered remains of Nraka.
Several of it"s gigantic pieces were alight with magma and fire, others had traces of intense spiritual Qi and heavenly lightning.
She shuddered as she muttered. [Mistress really didn"t hold back. An entire realm continent destroyed, I never thought it possible..] With her hand on her chest, she sighed as a tinge of guilt rose in her heart. [Maybe I should have tried a little harder to escape... ]
[I was feeling a little lazy at the end..so I relied on Mistress.. ] Rong Xiaoman blushed in shame as she shook her head.
"I"ll just pray that they died quickly and didn"t suffer too much." Rong Xiaoman mumbled as she walked over to the portal and with a final look over her shoulder she entered.
After a brief walk through a tunnel of shimmering light, Rong Xiaoman had returned to the Silent valley sect.
She was once again given a big surprise as what was once a thriving sect had become a large smoking crater, the once majestic Mount Wusheng had been completely reduced to rubble.
Thousands of Silent Valley sect"s disciples lay dead on the crater"s side, the lucky one"s missing and arm or leg, the unlucky mutilated beyond recognition.
At the center of the crater there was a slightly charred body with a missing arm, even dead, an aura of power could be felt from it.
The body was what remained of the powerful Silent Valley sect master, Zuo Ning.
"You worthless piece of trash!! Why didn"t you protect my precious child? I"ll skin you alive!!!!"
Just above her she heard an angry shout.
"Please mercy! Ah! That hurts!"
The terrified groan shook the air leaving an echo.
Rong Xiaoman looked upwards and saw her mother Qin Ruyan ripping the ear off Martial Fist"s sect master, Lu Meng. She appeared disheveled with bloodshot eyes and messy hair, her usual elegant appearance no where to be seen.
"..Mother!" Rong Xiaoman hesitantly called out.
Hearing that familiar voice, Qin Ruyan"s ears perked up as she screamed joyfully. "Qin Tian my lovely baby boy!!"
Qin Ruyan quickly threw Lu Meng to the side, his battered form falling to the ground creating a loud thud and forming a small cloud of dust. After spotting Rong Xiaoman she flew towards her with tears streaming down her face, her arms open ready to clutch the first thing they grabbed.
"Oof!" Rong Xiaoman coughed as Qin Ruyan collided with her. With two boundless mounds pressed against her, she sighed and patted her mother"s head. "Don"t worry mother, I"m back."
"I thought you were gone forever!!" Qin Ruyan wailed as she hammered Rong Xiaoman"s chest softly.
"Look, aren"t I fine? Those devils were no match for me so stop crying okay?" Rong Xiaoman replied gently as she complained inwardly about her overbearing mother.
Qin Ruyan sniffled and slowly nodded her head, she looked up at her handsome son and went in for a kiss. Rong Xiaoman moved her head to the side dodging her mother"s smooch while quickly saying with an awkward smile. "I"m not a kid anymore mother.."
Noticing that her son currently had the good personality, she drew back with a blushed face. Turning her head away in embarra.s.sment, she remarked. "I"m glad you"re back son."
"Mother, what happened to Big sister and Little Ying? Are they okay?" Rong Xiaoman asked with a little worry in her heart, looking around at the devastated sect she could guess that something bad must have happened to cause her mother to go into such a frenzy.
"They are fine and were taken back home by Qin Fei." Qin Ruyan replied as her composure returned. She had sneakily taken out a mirror and had begun fixing up her messy appearance.
Rong Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief, still her brows creased in confusion as she thought. [That"s strange, why would mother go so crazy then? It couldn"t be me couldn"t be me could it?] She shook her head as her lips curved into a wry smile. [Definitely not, now that is a crazy thought.]
"Mother let"s go home, I believe I have a marriage arrangement with Little Ying."
The moment Qin Ruyan heard that, she let out an unresigned snort and growled. "Yeah.."
[Mother must still be angry.] Rong Xiaoman chuckled in her mind as she flew towards Qin manor with her mother in tow.
//Fourth Heaven, Nihilla"s Realm~//
Ariel"s four daughters were still having their little tea party, sensing their mother"s anger disappearing, they all collectively let out the deep breaths they had been holding.
"Mother finally calmed down!" Elowen patted her bountiful chest in relief.
"Yeah, thank papa!" Seris sighed as she stretched, all the tension in her body finally being released. "Mother even mobilized that glorified nanny she built for Nihilla, I wonder what could have made her so angry."
"Nanny?" Levathel repeated with a confused expression.
"Oh, you"re always in your own little world so you probably don"t know that Mother built a nursemaid for Nihilla so she would stop leeching off her b.r.e.a.s.t.s. It comes built with an endless sea of milk that Nihilla could never hope to deplete." Seris replied as she looked at Nihilla with a mocking gaze.
"That contraption? I believe the nickname you came up for it was the "Big Mama" haha." Elowen"s eyes turned into crescents as she covered her mouth and laughed.
"I don"t leech off Mama"s b.r.e.a.s.t.s!" Nihilla snorted angrily.
"Look! Look at the drool dripping from your lips! The moment anyone mentions b.r.e.a.s.t.s you turn into a fountain." Seris scoffed as she pointed at Nihilla speechlessly.
Nihilla wiped the drool from her mouth and turned her head away, her face heating up in embarra.s.sment. "anyway, that big thing is stupid! It can"t ever compare to Mama!"
"Ah Nihilla you"re such a cutie! Your embarra.s.sment is so sublime!" Elowen gave a girlish squeal as she pulled Nihilla over into a hug.
Nihilla"s cheeks puffed in anger as she tried wriggling out of Elowen"s embrace. "Argh! Let go Dummy!"
"Your hair is truly too soft! If you weren"t my little sister, I would have totally added you to my collection.." Elowen"s eyes sparkled as she buried her head in Nihilla"s white hair and breathed in deeply.
Seris laughed cheerfully, clapping her hands at Nihilla"s misfortune and Levathel"s usual emotionless face showed an extremely rare smile as she watched her sisters.
