Chapter 431: It Hurts A Little, and I Can Never Let It Go
“Could it be a mistake?” Yu Huang still couldn’t believe it.
Sheng Lingfeng also knew that it was difficult to believe this matter. No matter how impressive the current movie scripts were, even they couldn’t come up with such a plot.
“This is absolutely true. Prime Emperor Zhengyang was bewitched and is now pregnant with a demon fetus.”
Lin Jiansheng was so shocked by this news that he cursed—
“F*ck!”
He was indeed bewitched.
“I heard that the Caro Clan is trying to hire a high-level Purifying Spirit Master to give birth to the demon fetus.” With that, Sheng Lingfeng looked at Lin Jiansheng and said with a smile, “They will probably look for you in the next two days.”
Lin Jiansheng was the most powerful Purifying Spirit Master in the world. The demon fetus was formed by demonic energy, and only he had the ability to do so.
The Caro Clan would definitely visit him personally.
“Currently, this news is being kept a secret. Other than Caro Xiangfu and a few elders, only Professor Edward knows. It’s not appropriate to publicize this matter. Let’s wait and see.” After Sheng Lingfeng finished speaking, he suddenly laughed frivolously.
Sheng Xiao frowned when he heard him laugh. “What are you laughing at?”
Sheng Lingfeng held his forehead and shook his head. He teased, “Prime Emperor Zhengyang was in the limelight some time ago. Everyone says that he’s omnipotent. It seems that there’s indeed nothing he can’t do…”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiansheng also revealed a malicious smile. He said, “He’s really omnipotent.”
“Hehehe.”
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao looked at Yu Huang’s mentor and Sheng Xiao’s father, who were smiling strangely. They felt helpless.
Kong Qing stayed on the peach tree outside the house. He tied a pocket on his wide white T-shirt in front of his abdomen. He stuffed three to four sweet-smelling peaches into his pocket and climbed to the meditation room through the window frame.
Sheng Lingfeng saw Kong Qing jump in like a monkey. He thought of something and asked Kong Qing, “Did you take the final exam?”
The Holy Spirit Continent was on summer break at the end of June. Kong Qing had already finished his final exams.
“I did.”
Kong Qing gave the peaches to Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao.
Sheng Lingfeng asked again, “What score did you get?”
Kong Qing placed the smallest peach in front of Sheng Lingfeng and pouted.
Seeing this, Sheng Lingfeng knew that this kid didn’t do well. He pointed at Saint Ling Xiao and said, “Kong Qing, your father entered the Divine Realm Academy as the top scorer of the college entrance examination back then. As his son, you should surpa.s.s him.”
Kong Qing’s eyes widened in shock. He asked Lin Jiansheng, “Really?”
Lin Jiansheng stroked the short beard on his chin and said proudly, “Although I don’t look smart, I was a top student. Yu Huang was able to enter the Divine Realm Academy back then because of me.”
Kong Qing instantly felt that he had embarra.s.sed Lin Jiansheng.
He hugged a peach and took a few bites. Suddenly, he said, “I heard you guys say that Prime Emperor Zhengyang was possessed.”
Sheng Lingfeng hurriedly shook his head and said, “You heard wrongly.”
“I didn’t hear wrongly,” Kong Qing said with certainty. “He’s possessed.” After saying that, Kong Qing lowered his head and took a bite of the peach. The corners of his lips curled up quickly, revealing a smile that was as evil as a little demon’s.
Of course he would be possessed.
At the banquet held by the Caro Clan, Kong Qing had once shaken hands with Caro Zhengyang. That time, Kong Qing had silently injected a trace of demonic energy into Caro Zhengyang’s body. The demonic energy created by the super demonic creature couldn’t be purified at all.
If he wanted to purify the demonic aura in Caro Zhengyang’s body, he had to purify Kong Qing first.
However, super demonic creatures had powerful magic power. Apart from powerful Purifying Spirit Masters like Lin Jiansheng and Su Xuanye, ordinary Purifying Spirit Masters were unable to purify him.
And it was impossible for Lin Jiansheng to purify Kong Qing.
Therefore, the demonic aura would stay in Garo Zhengyang’s body!
Sheng Lingfeng didn’t notice Kong Qing’s abnormality, but Lin Jiansheng caught the funny smile on Kong Qing’s lips. Lin Jiansheng continued to discuss things with Sheng Lingfeng and the others, but he had been secretly observing Kong Qing.
It wasn’t until two in the morning that everyone returned to their rooms to rest.
The Yin Clan was under Ji Linyuan’s control and was being rebuilt in an orderly manner. Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao stayed in Yufu City for the time being. Lin Jiansheng and Sheng Xiao walked with Yu Huang and the others for a while before bidding farewell to them in front of a small building.
After returning to the small building, Kong Qing ran to search the icebox.
Kong Qing was a super demon. He could only grow by eating the resentment of the dead. Eating ordinary demon beasts and spirit herbs could only fill his stomach, but wouldn’t let him continue to grow. Therefore, he still looked so short.
Kong Qing was hungry every day. He stood on a small stool and rummaged through the fridge. He found two cans of yellow peach sour milk and a small watermelon. Kong Qing sat down at the dining table with the watermelon and yogurt. He cut the watermelon into two and gave half to Lin Jiansheng.
No matter what delicious food he ate, no matter how hungry Kong Qing was, he would always give Lin Jiansheng half.
Lin Jiansheng sat down opposite Kong Qing. He didn’t touch the watermelon and only watched Kong Qing eat.
After Kong Qing finished eating, Lin Jiansheng said, “Let’s have a long chat tonight.”
A hint of confusion flashed across Kong’s green eyes. He asked in confusion, “Aren’t you going to sleep? I’m a little sleepy.”
“Let’s talk first. We’ll sleep after we’re done.”
“… Okay.”
Kong Qing lowered his head and played with his fingers. He fooled around all day long, so he had some mud hidden under his fingernails.
Kong Qing stared on the mud between his fingernails and heard Lin Jiansheng say, “You once told me that when your mother was about to give birth, your father heartlessly abandoned her at the Broken Cliff. When your mother was eaten alive by the Nightmare Spider, she kept calling your father’s name, right?”
Lin Jiansheng had a good memory. He remembered that Kong Qing had told him this back then.
Kong Qing’s movements became slower.
Under Lin Jiansheng’s scrutinizing gaze, Kong Qing couldn’t lie, nor did he want to lie to Lin Jiansheng.
“In that case, you have all the memories of when you were about to be born?” Kong Qing was a super demonic creature. He was essentially a Demon Fetus that had grown up by absorbing the resentment of the tens of thousands of vengeful spirits under the Broken Cliff. With his special ident.i.ty, it was normal for him to have memories of before he was born.
Kong Qing took his hands off the table and placed them under it.
The hands were trembling slightly and turned into nothingness.
Sensing the change in Kong Qing’s magic power, Lin Jiansheng suddenly raised his voice and shouted, “Kong Qing!”
Kong Qing was brought back to his senses by Lin Jiansheng’s voice. His hands grew out from his arms again, and the chaotic magic power on his body gradually stabilized. Kong Qing nodded and whispered, “I still remember.”
Lin Jiansheng looked at Kong Qing with heartache. He wished that he could turn back time and return to the day when Kong Qing suffered and save the mother and son from the Broken Cliff.
“Because you clearly remember how miserable your mother looked when she died, you will never be able to let go and forgive Caro Zhengyang, right?”
This time, Kong Qing didn’t say anything. He pursed his lips tightly and revealed a stubborn look. After a long while, he asked aggrievedly, “Why should I let it go?! Daddy, people who hadn’t been bitten to death by the Nightmare Spider can’t understand that kind of pain at all.”
Kong Qing recalled the pain at that time. His round face was pale. He held his chest and recalled in pain. “When the Nightmare Spider’s teeth slowly bit off my mother’s flesh and blood, my mother was in so much pain that she cried and shouted. In the end, she didn’t even have the strength to cry out in pain. Those spiders spent four days and three nights before they finished eating her flesh and blood!”
“Daddy! Can you imagine?! She was just an ordinary woman who was pregnant. Just because she was an obstacle to Caro Zhengyang’s path to promotion and wealth, she suffered such inhumane treatment. Who can tell me what kind of logic is this?!”
“While my mother was being eaten by the Nightmare Spider while she was pregnant, Caro Zhengyang married a beautiful woman!”
“I will never forgive him!”
Kong Qing wiped his tears and beat his small body with his hand. He cried and said, “It hurt too. At that time, I was about to be born. I was already a baby. When the Nightmare Spiders ate me like a cake, it was really, really painful…”
Kong Qing finally revealed his fragile and aggrieved side. He hugged his small body tightly and cried until his body was trembling.
Lin Jiansheng couldn’t bear to continue listening. He walked around the dining table to Kong Qing’s side and hugged him. He comforted him softly, “Don’t cry anymore. Kong Qing, Daddy will protect you from now on. No one will bully you anymore. Be good and stop crying.”
Kong Qing suddenly hugged Lin Jiansheng and couldn’t help but ask, “Why aren’t you my father?”
Why couldn’t a child choose his own father?
If every child had the right to choose their parents before they reincarnated, Kong Qing would rather not be human.
Kong Qing felt disgusted when he thought about how he had Caro Zhengyang’s bloodline.
