Chapter 17: Ah Yin learns the truth!
Ah Yin still had a trace of consciousness. Although the seed of life left by Ah Yin didn't have much power, Ah Yin concentrated her memory and consciousness on this seed.
Therefore, although Ah Yin can't make any response, she can truly perceive everything that is happening outside.
Ah Yin POV-
I have been in this cave for many years. Hao'er only comes here rarely. I think he is busy taking care of our kid. I hope that they are happy.
I felt someone entering the cave. I felt happy, did Hao'er come back? But I can sense there are three of them. I was confused. Who are they? Why did they come here?
But then I noticed that among them, two are spirit beasts and another one is human. And that spirit beasts have cultivation bases more than 100,000 years. I was shocked. Why did they come here?
Then I felt the human walking towards me. I sensed the human was trying to touch me. What does this human want?
But the human can't touch me because Hao'er placed a seal on me. But the human broke the seal. I panicked. Why? Does this human want to pluck me out of the ground to kill me?
I wavered fiercely. But, then I felt a powerful Beast breath. I was terrified feeling his breath. T-This human...is not a human.
But the breath I felt was even more terrifying than those fierce beasts inside the inner core area. W-Who is this human? Is this human really a human? Is this human a more powerful beast that transformed entirely into a human?
Then I felt the human pouring some liquid on me. I was scared again. Did he pour some poison on me?
But, I felt some changes happening to me. I was genuinely shocked. Because this liquid actually increased my growth rate hundreds of times. how can that be?
Even if I don't understand anything, I know that this liquid is definitely a treasure, and it may even be the essence of life. Only the essence of life has such a terrifying effect.
But this kind of treasure was so extravagantly dripping on my body. This made me feel happy. I felt grateful for the human who is using such a rare treasure to help me.
But why is this human helping me? I was confused, but I can't express it, just gently curling the human's fingers with my blue silver grass leaves, representing attachment and gratefulness.
My growth tremendously increased and now I can see what's happening around me. And I saw the human who is helping me. I was stunned to see his face. What a good-looking young man! He is the most beautiful human I've ever met.
He is looking at me with a pitiful gaze. Feeling his gaze, I trembled. Does he know about my past so he is trying to help me?
And then I noticed the other two women. One is a 12-year-old girl and the other is a beautiful lady. I can feel the lady has higher cultivation than 100,000 years.
Seeing the girl, I felt a familiar aura from her. She is a 100,000-year-old Soft bone rabbit. Have I met her?
But I have broken the law of the forest by falling in love with a human. Then why is someone so strong and these spirit beasts are helping me?
At this time, the human smiled and said gently "I think now you are conscious and you can see me. If you can understand what I am saying now, nod your head with a blade."
The blade of my grass trembled slightly, indicating that I have complete consciousness.
He nodded slightly and said, "That's good." He smiled and sat beside me. I gently wrapped my leaves around his fingers and arms.
He delicately stroked my leaves. I don't know why but I felt some unique feeling from his touches and whiffs.
He looked at me, his eyes filled with sympathy, and said faintly "I know about you, and your story. I feel very sorry for you."
As I thought he knows about me. I fell in love with Tang Hao, and I still have no regrets. Because our love is so pure, so perfect, so unique. Our love crosses races and genders, how great it is!
His smile faded and he said sorrowfully "You are betrayed by the love of your life. Thinking about it makes my heart ache."
I was stunned. Betrayed by the love of your life? Betrayed by Tang Hao? No, No! I hurriedly shook my leaves to indicate that it is not correct.
He looked at me confused and asked "What? You don't believe what I said just now?"
I nodded with my leaves indicating 'Yes!'
He sighed and said with concern "Looks like you don't know the real truth."
Seeing his concerned eyes and hearing his words I was confused. Real truth? What truth?
He said, "Look around you, why did he planted you in a damp cave like this with low sunlight and minimum water."
Only after hearing his words, I looked around the cave. It is dark and only a small hole in the top to allow a bare amount of sunlight. Seeing this I was shocked. So, only at noon when the sun Is above me I can get sunlight. At other times, the falling sunlight will be skewed.
Then I looked at the ground. It is mostly dried with a little amount of water in it. Why? Why Hao'er planted me in a place like this? Why? He doesn't want me to grow healthily?
He then said "If you are still not convinced. Then do you remember the day you sacrificed yourself for Tang Hao and your son?"
I still remember what happened that day. My leaves trembled lightly indicating 'Yes!'
"Your love was accepted by Clear Sky Sect because Tang Xiao and Clear Sky Sect's Patriarch convinced the elders at that time. And during your pregnancy, you mostly stayed in the Clear Sky Sect."
Yeah, I still remember Hao'er's father and his brother persuading the seven elders of the Clear Sky Sect to accept our love. So, I stayed there during my pregnancy.
"But during your 9th month of the pregnancy. Tang Hao took you out of the Sect to roam around the mainland. Do you remember?" He said.
Hmm. Yeah, I remember that too. At that time, I told him that it will be dangerous outside and it will be safe to stay in the Sect. But he said that after the child's birth, he can't spend alone time with me.
So he took me out so that we can spend some time with only the two of us. I was happy that he is treasuring our love, so I went with him. I gently nodded with my leaves hinting that I remember.
"Just think about it. He is the genius of the Clear Sky Sect and he is not a fool. He knows that if he takes you out it will be dangerous for you. But he still took you outside and it was during your pregnancy."
Hmm. What is he trying to imply?
"He is level 89 at that time. He is considered a genius to reach that level at a young age, so the Spirit Hall is always eyeing him because the genius is their enemy. He also knows that, but he still took you outside during your pregnancy."
B-But, he said he wants to spend-
"If you said that he wants to spend some time alone with you before pregnancy. Bullshit! Is the time he wants to spend with you is more important than your safety?" He asked me.
Hearing this I was shocked. T-Then why did Hao'er take me outside? Why?
Then he sighed and continued "That day he reached level 90, your child is also born. Then he walked around the mainland without even hiding his presence. Do you know why he did that?"
Yeah, the day my child was born he also reached level 90. The first person to reach that level at such a young age. Then he walked around without hiding his presence? Why did he do that?
"When he reached level 90. He needs the next spirit ring. The arrogance that he is a genius filled his mind. He needed a 100,000-year spirit ring to become the strongest Titled Douluo. So, the 100,000 spirit ring he chose was...you!"
I was shocked to hear this. W-What does he mean by he chose me?
"When Tang Hao walked freely with you. Spirit Hall noticed you and they began to pursue both of you. You can't fight because you became weak because of the pregnancy and he is only level 90 at that time. So he can't fight against the Spirit Hall."
That day, I wanted at least my son to survive. So I sacrificed myself to become the last ring for Hao'er so he can fight back against the Spirit Hall.
"All of this happened according to his plan. He made you fall in love with him. And during your 9th month, he took you outside the Sect. He knows that if only he is in danger, you will not sacrifice for him. But if you have a child, and your child is also in danger then you will definitely sacrifice yourself for the child. This is his great plan to trap you and get him 100,000 year spirit ring and spirit bone."
He said and a teardrop left his eye. Hearing all of this, and seeing his pitiful eyes my mind went crazy. All of those love and affection he showed to me. Those tender and sweet words. All! All of those for my Spirit ring and spirit bone? Why Hao'er Whyyyyy??? I believed in you I thought you loved me.
I feel pathetic and looked at the hole that is above me and now the sunlight is not even in my direction. Now that I think of it, When I was alive, I taught Tang Hao a lot of knowledge about planting flowers, and plants. I also taught him how to take care of the plants very well. Then why did he plant me in a damp cave like this?
He knows very well that I can't grow healthily in a place like this. Then why? Hao'er you really didn't love me?
At this time, the young girl came near me and squatted down. Her eyes filled with tears. "S-Sister Ah Yin! Do you remember me? I am Xiao Wu. You played with me when I was still a rabbit."
Hearing her words, I was stunned. X-Xiao Wu? The cute bunny that is hopping around me when I was in the forest? You have grown well. I gently wrapped my leaves in her fingers.
She stroked my leaves and said shudderingly "S-Sister Ah Yin, Tang Hao also tried to get my Spirit ring for his son. But Brother Yan always protected me from him." She looked at the young man and smiled.
Hao'er!!! Why did you become like this? Do you only want power? You are so greedy for power that you would even kill your own wife? Why? H-Hao'er? You said that our love is so unique and true. Did you say all those sweet words only to trick me?
You even tried to get the Spirit ring of Xiao Wu. I regret that I fell in love with a person like you. I hate you! I HATE YOU, TANG HAO!!! I HATE YOU TO DEATH!!!
Then Yan gently stroked my leaves and his tear drop fell on my leaves and slowly rolled on my leaves and fell on my root. I felt my powers increasing again. What happened?
He looked at me and smiled warmly "I will help you regain your powers and physique. Don't worry."
Seeing his smile and hearing his caring words. I felt so warm in my heart. He is helping me even though he hasn't seen me. Such a great person...
Then he said faintly "If you still can't believe me. I will prove it to you!"
He is going to prove it to me? How?
Then I heard a loud and rough voice "Ah Yin, I am here to save you!"
