Chapter 19: Mother is Here, Always Here
“Ah!!!”
A terrified scream echoed from the dark, silent end of the alley.
Li Er was so scared that he fell to the ground, his face pale and his eyes filled with horror as if seeing a ghost. Supporting himself with his hands, he kept crawling backward.
“Monster! This is a monster!!” He stared in terror at Chen Zhixing, who stood in a pool of blood, his lips trembling.
Chen Zhixing's face remained calm as he looked at Li Er and asked, “Who sent you?”
“If I tell you, will you let me go?”
Before Li Er could finish speaking.
“Forget it, I don’t want to know anymore.”
Chen Zhixing shook his head.
Bang—!
Li Er, who had been crawling backward, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. His consciousness shattered, and he slumped to the ground.
A hair-thin silver needle flashed in the night, returning to Chen Zhixing’s consciousness.
The next moment.
Chen Zhixing glanced around and, seeing no one else in the alley, sighed in relief.
“Mother’s strength should be above that person’s. Without me, she should be able to deal with him quickly.”
The calm expression on his face faded rapidly, replaced by a look of terror as he sat on the ground and began to wail.
What he didn’t know was.
A figure was watching this scene intently from the eaves of a pavilion.
In her beautiful eyes, a trace of astonishment flashed.
On the street.
“Zhizhi!!!”
A shrill voice rang out.
Ying Shuangshuang looked in the direction where Chen Zhixing was taken, her eyes full of rage.
She turned sharply and rushed toward the alley.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
With a cold laugh, the man in black stepped forward, blocking Ying Shuangshuang’s path.
Playing with the dagger in his hand, he squinted and smiled, “If that little brat dies here, you and Chen Tianliang will be heartbroken, right?”
Ying Shuangshuang halted, raised her head to look at the man in black, and spat out two words from her throat:
“Move aside.”
The man in black chuckled, “What’s the rush? It’s just a corpse. Whether you go early or late, it’s all the same.”
“Heh.”
“Heh heh heh.”
Suddenly, Ying Shuangshuang started laughing.
At first, it was a soft chuckle.
Then it grew louder, increasingly frenzied!
Until it turned into a terrifying sound, like a mix of crying and laughing, not human at all!
“Are you insane?”
Zhuang Wuxian, whose face was hidden under a wide hood, frowned slightly. Just as he was about to mock her, he seemed to sense something and his pupils contracted sharply.
He looked up abruptly.
Ying Shuangshuang's long black hair had all turned into a bewitching white!
Her nails grew rapidly, becoming sharp and silver!
A crimson mark appeared on her forehead!
Her once pale lips turned blood-red.
Her skin, snow-white and icy cold!
Just standing there, she exuded a chilling, dangerous aura.
She was like a lone wolf awakening from the frozen plains, baring her fangs to the world.
“Snow Maiden?!!”
In an instant, Zhuang Wuxian's face changed drastically, and he couldn’t help but gasp.
His heart began to scream in alarm!
“These years, no matter how others thought I was useless, thought I was unworthy of Tianliang, or how the Chen family looked down on me, I never cared. I tried to play the role of a virtuous wife and good mother before Tianliang.”
Ying Shuangshuang spoke softly, as if talking to herself, yet seemingly addressing someone.
“Tianliang suffers from a severe illness, and we Snow Maidens are also cursed. We are two people who wouldn’t live long, coming together for warmth.”
“Perhaps the heavens took pity on us and gave us a child.”
“Since the moment Zhizhi was born, our lives, which had no meaning, found new purpose.”
“Maybe Zhizhi doesn’t know, but he is not just our child, he is also the light saving our dark lives.”
Zhuang Wuxian’s throat moved as if he wanted to say something, nervously stepping back.
“We have nothing in this world. The only thing truly ours is this one child.”
“But…”
Ying Shuangshuang suddenly looked up, her eyes bloodshot with intense killing intent!
The next moment.
A horrifying, low, unhuman sound burst from her throat:
“But why!!!”
“Why do you have to take away the only light that belongs to us!!!!!”
Boom—!!!
Ying Shuangshuang moved instantly!
Zhuang Wuxian only saw a blur before the white-haired Ying Shuangshuang appeared in front of him.
Five icy, pale fingers grabbed his throat, lifting him up.
The hood that covered half of Zhuang Wuxian’s face shattered instantly.
“It’s you?”
Ying Shuangshuang narrowed her eyes, a sick smile forming on her lips. She pulled Zhuang Wuxian closer, still gripping his throat.
“Heh heh heh, so the one attacking Tianliang is Kuimu? If I remember correctly, Kuimu’s entire sect is dead, but you still have many relatives alive, right?”
“Rest assured, if Zhizhi dies, Tianliang and I will kill everyone related to you, burying them with Zhizhi.”
“As for you two, I will slice you into pieces and burn your souls with demonic fire daily.”
“Trust me, you will beg for death, regret ever being born.”
Zhuang Wuxian's face turned red as he dangled in the air.
A suffocating sensation he had never felt before gripped him.
Looking at the crazed Ying Shuangshuang, he felt the terror of life and death.
A chill ran from his spine to his head, filling him with cold dread.
He couldn’t stop trembling.
“I…”
He wanted to say he was just a pawn of Kuimu Zhenren, not the mastermind.
But before he could speak.
Those icy, pale, slender fingers tightened around his throat!
Crack, crack, crack!
The sound of bones breaking echoed.
Zhuang Wuxian felt an unprecedented regret. He wanted to beg for mercy, but Ying Shuangshuang gave him no chance to speak!
The divine power in his body was completely sealed, unable to be used at all.
At this moment.
“Wah!!!”
A loud cry pierced the street!
“My child!!!”
Ying Shuangshuang looked toward the alley, her rage replaced by anxiety and concern.
Bang—!!!
Zhuang Wuxian’s head exploded!
The icy figure disappeared in a flash, appearing at the end of the alley.
She bent down, gently cradling the blood-soaked child in her arms.
“Zhizhi, don’t be afraid.”
“Mother is here, always here.”
