The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

"He is so majestic and brave! When he raises his sword, the whole universe is in his hands."

Gong Yuerong's face was glowing and her eyes were bright, like a girl seeing her beloved hero.

"Although he is not tolerated by the heavens, and everyone regards him as a demon, and the religion he founded is called the Demonic Religion, I am willing to follow him, even though I know the ending will be infinite misery."

"So what if you're an immortal or a demon? Since you've found true love, why should you care about these things? Why should you still feel sad?" Li Muchen said.

Gong Yuerong smiled bitterly: "He doesn't love me, and we can't love each other because he was born by me."

"..." Li Muchen was stunned and didn't know how to respond.

"You see, you can't accept this kind of love either!" Gong Yuerong laughed at herself, "But it doesn't matter. Not to mention you, I can't accept it either, so I just keep this love in my heart, turn it into a mother's love to care for him, and encourage him to find his true love. When he was with Wu Muqi, I was really happy!"

"Ebony concubine?!" Li Muchen was shocked.

"I, Wumu, am also the heir of the Linglong lineage. The difference from our Gong family is that we inherit the bloodline, while she inherits the bone lineage." Gong Yuerong explained.

"Bone veins?" Li Muchen was puzzled.

"Linglong Witch is the manifestation of the Divine Palace. In order to unite the three souls and restore the saint, she sacrificed herself and left her bloodline with the inheritance of the saint, which is our Gong family. Then her body merged with Linglong Island, leaving behind this Divine Palace. Before that, she took out a rib from her body and made it into a bone flute. The bone flute represents the inheritance of the Linglong bone bloodline."

"Exquisite bone flute!" Li Muchen thought of Dawa who pulled a cart thousands of miles to take his son to treat his illness.

"Let's see!"

Gong Yuerong suddenly stroked her shoulders with her hands, and the thin red veil slipped off her body, revealing her snow-white skin.

Her fingers pointed to her chest, across the full arc, and pointed to her ribs.

There was a blue mark there, curving along the ribs, as if there were two rib-shaped tattoos.

But if you look closely, you can see that it is not a tattoo, but a scar.

"All women in the Gong family have this kind of birthmark. It's because we were born with one rib missing."

Li Muchen was stunned for a moment. This could indeed explain many problems that he had not been able to figure out before, and it made him feel suddenly enlightened, but he still had many questions.

"What does this have to do with the Ebony Concubine?"

"The first person to receive the bone flute from the Linglong witch was an ebony spirit on Linglong Island. She was the bone heritage of the Linglong lineage in the world, and also the inheritance of witchcraft. She later transformed into a woman, and her name was Ebony Concubine."

"The inheritance of bone lineage and bloodline are separate. We only knew each other's existence, but we had no contact. First I gave birth to him, and then that woman appeared and blew the bone flute in front of him."

"To be honest, when I first saw them together, I felt a little jealous. I couldn't tell whether it was jealousy from love or motherhood. Perhaps a mother is always jealous of a woman taking her child away."

Gong Yuerong spoke while looking at the swamp in front of her, as if she was not talking to Li Muchen, but to someone else.

"But I later realized that true love is selfless and unconditional. So I wish them the best."

"Among all the women of the Gong family, I am lucky because I waited for the destined man. I started the Gong family's true holy path and I almost completed the Gong family's mission. But those saints before me could only wait their whole lives and die of old age, like a flower blooming in the wilderness, only able to admire its beauty."

"I am also lucky that while I was waiting in this timeless temple, I actually met a mortal who made me feel like I have returned to my youth and girlhood."

"He told me stories about the wilderness, his hunting adventures, and the changes in the small town on the edge of the wilderness. Those were things I had never heard before, trivial, but very warm."

"Later, he said he missed home, and he cordially invited me to his home. I couldn't bear to tell him that you can only enter here, but not leave. Anyone who enters here is actually dead. To get out, you have to pass three trials, and then cross the primitive swamp and experience the most primitive process of life. So I told him, go ahead, and come back if you miss me."

"I thought he couldn't get out. After he got lost in the shrine, I went to see him and slowly told him the truth. But unexpectedly, he left. I don't even know how he left. Before he left, he took something with me..."

Gong Yuerong smiled slightly, that smile seemed bitter, yet kind, like a mother who had not seen her child for a long time.

"I don't know how long he has lived outside the palace, but I guess his child must be grown up now!"

Li Muchen thought of Lantian’s grandfather, Lan Yanshan.

At the beginning, he discovered that Lantian had a miraculous innate spiritual perception, which was even stronger than that of masters who had cultivated to the innate level. At that time, he felt that this child was of extraordinary origin and was definitely not a child from an ordinary family. However, he did not notice anything unusual from her family members, whether it was her father Lan Bazi or her grandfather Lan Yanshan.

Maybe Gong Yuerong was not talking about Lantian’s grandfather.

Of course, this doesn't matter.

"You can go out and take a look by yourself, maybe you can see him or his child again." Li Muchen said.

Gong Yuerong smiled and said, "Forget it, it's all fleeting. Some things are enough just to have had them once. But the inheritance of the Divine Palace is my mission."

She turned to look at Li Muchen with a little apology in her eyes, "So, I'm sorry!"

"Why say sorry?" Li Muchen asked.

"Because you are going to die soon." Gong Yuerong said.

"So he is here, right?" Li Muchen said.

Gong Yue was surprised and asked: "How did you know?"

Li Muchen smiled and said, "I used the Heavenly Soul Wall to open the gate of the Divine Palace. How could I not know that he ran out of the Heavenly Soul Wall?"

"You're really smart! No wonder you can establish your own path!" a voice sounded.

Then, in the mist of the swamp, a dark shadow appeared and slowly condensed into a human figure...

"Thank you for your hard work!" the black shadow said to Gong Yuerong with a sincere and respectful tone.

Gong Yuerong sighed: "Although his last name is Li, his heart is independent and he is not a follower of the Heavenly Dao. He has also passed the three tests. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't have the heart to..."

Li Muchen asked, "You helped me pass the triple trial, not just to let him kill me here, right?"

Gong Yuerong said: "It's not to kill you, but for rebirth. Your gifted body is the best container, and your awakening is to carry the resurrection of the demon!"
