Chapter 130: Qin Xuan's Childhood Longing for Parental Love

Chapter 130: Qin Xuan's Childhood Longing for Parental Love

A roar of fury shook the Nine Heavens.

The Qin Princes Mansion was like a city facing a great enemy; dozens of clan elders from the Quasi-Saint Realm and Saint Realm appeared all at once.

They pleaded with the Great Demon God, "Old Family Head, please stop causing a scene. The Qin Princes Mansion has already lost all face, and it certainly brings no honor to you either, does it?"

Qin Zhenbei arrived late and bowed before the Great Demon God, "Father."

"Hmph!"

The Great Demon God snorted coldly, though this time he didn't immediately start cursing upon seeing him.

Instead, he turned his gaze toward Shangguan Ya and said shamelessly, "Xiao Ya, I've come to find you this time."

Shangguan Ya asked in confusion, "Why are you looking for me, Father? If there is anything I can help with, I will not refuse."

The Great Demon God nodded slowly, "I want that heaven-mending pill."

The heaven-mending pill is a sacred object of the Butian Holy Land.

It is an existence even more precious than top-tier Sacred Artifacts.

It was not refined by the Butian Holy Land, but has been passed down since the ancient era.

Every single one is priceless; it is a sacred object that the Butian Holy Land loses one of every time it is used.

Legend has it that those who consume the heaven-mending pill possess the ability to bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh and bones.

Of course, this is only a part of its effects.

It is rumored that the heaven-mending pill can allow the user to undergo a rebirth!

The Great Demon God was truly at his wit's end; he had been searching outside for nearly a month with no results.

If he continued to waste time, his eldest grandson's life would be short.

He had no choice but to shamelessly ask the Butian Saintess for the heaven-mending pill.

"Absolutely not!" Qin Zhenbei opposed angrily, "If you needed it for yourself, Father, let alone one heaven-mending pill, even if the Qin Princes Mansion had to exhaust all its resources, we would satisfy your needs."

"But this time, you have come for that rebellious son. Since he has already severed ties with the Qin Princes Mansion and caused our reputation to be ruined, even if this heaven-mending pill were to be destroyed, it must not be given to him! Father, give up this thought! Do not let your imagination run wild, thinking you can obtain even a shred of benefit from the Qin Princes Mansion to give to that rebellious son!"

The Great Demon God's temples throbbed with veins as he roared, "He has the blood of the Qin Princes Mansion flowing through his veins! Are you really going to just watch him die?"

Qin Zhenbei snorted coldly, "I do not have such a rebellious son who defies his superiors!"

Many clan elders bowed before the Great Demon God, pleading, "Old Family Head, please do not force the Qin Prince."

"Qin Xuan is rebellious, disregards the bond between father and son, and has no respect for his father. This time, upon heading to the Imperial Capital, he even killed the Son of Prince Ning, completely offending Prince Ning and engaging in a life-or-death feud with those royal clans!"

"This grievance is not something our Qin Princes Mansion can resolve."

"Qin Xuan is bound to die this time; even if we brought out the heaven-mending pill, it would only save him for a moment."

"Not to mention that the Double-Pupil Woman has already attained the rank of Quasi-Emperor and is already transcendent. Who can guarantee that the heaven-mending pill will definitely be able to save Qin Xuan?"

The Great Demon God rebuked Shangguan Ya, "Didn't you want to make amends with my eldest grandson? If you aren't even willing to give up one heaven-mending pill, and you call yourself a mother, you still want to reclaim this son!?"

Shangguan Ya lowered her head in shame.

Qin Zhenbei shielded Shangguan Ya behind him and said loudly, "Father, the heaven-mending pill will not be given to you. Please return!"

"Fine, I have been trying to reason with you, and you refuse to listen?" The Great Demon God's temples throbbed with hatred, "Since you won't give it, then I will take it by force!"

If he couldn't beg for the heaven-mending pill, he would turn this Qin Princes Mansion upside down.

As long as he could save his eldest grandson, he was willing to do it, even if the Qin Princes Mansion fell into decline!

Boom!

The Great Demon God, who had only made a Breakthrough a few months ago, released his aura.

Once the pressure of the Saint King Realm Middle Stage spread out, the ground collapsed and the houses shook violently.

Even the powerful clan elders of the Qin Princes Mansion felt the pressure like a mountain, their backs bent under the weight.

"Saint King Realm Middle Stage!?"

Qin Zhenbei was shocked.

He never dreamed that his father, having made a Breakthrough only a few months ago, would actually break through again, advancing to the Saint King Realm Middle Stage.

Previously, he couldn't suppress his father, and now, he feared that even if he could win, he would lose half his life if he didn't die!

"Grandfather, there is no need to look."

From within the Qin Princes Mansion, the heroic youth Qin Hao soared into the air.

Right in front of the Great Demon God, he took out a pill glowing with golden light and swallowed it.

The moment the pill's medicinal power dissolved, Qin Hao felt as if he had received a baptism of enlightenment.

The Yuan Qi in his body was boiling, surging like a great river.

Within three breaths, thunderclouds gathered above his head.

A powerful aura pierced through the sky, scattering the clouds.

His Realm advanced by leaps and bounds.

In the blink of an eye, he broke through directly to the ninth level of the Heavenly Human Realm.

He stopped just before the Quasi-Saint Realm.

It wasn't that he couldn't break through to the Quasi-Saint Realm, but rather the heaven-mending pill was storing its medicinal effects, waiting for his Foundation to stabilize slightly before continuing to break through further!

"Grandfather, I have eaten the heaven-mending pill." Ignoring his parents' attempts to stop him, Qin Hao stepped forward to the very front, facing the Great Demon God's fury, and held his head high, "You were able to cut out my bones for Qin Xuan, but now that I have swallowed this heaven-mending pill, even if you cut open my abdomen, you won't be able to retrieve the pill!"

The clan elders spoke up one after another, "Old Family Head, you must not harm the Young Prince!"

"Old Family Head, please calm your anger; he is just a child!"

"Father, do not harm Hao'er."

"..."

In the end, even Shangguan Ya and Qin Zhenbei knelt on the ground to plead for mercy.

"Hahaha!"

The Great Demon God laughed in extreme anger, looking up at the sky and roaring, tears of turbidity rolling from the corners of his eyes.

When he looked down again, there was not a trace of weakness in his eyes, only despair, "Your Qin Princes Mansion truly has a brilliant scheme! Knowing I would come, you handed the heaven-mending pill to Qin Hao, knowing he would take the opportunity to swallow it, putting me in a difficult position!"

"He is just a child?"

The Great Demon God pointed at Qin Hao, his gaze sweeping around the circle, "He truly has such deep schemes! He still remembers that I cut out his bones. But really, were those bones truly conceived within his own body? Was my flood dragon pill just compensation for a dog?"

No amount of scolding would be of any use.

The Great Demon God only wanted the heaven-mending pill now.

He only wanted to save his eldest grandson.

No longer arguing with the people of the Qin Princes Mansion, he stared straight at Shangguan Ya, "You, come with me!"

He stepped into the air and fled thousands of miles away.

Shangguan Ya followed closely behind, and the people of the Qin Princes Mansion also pursued relentlessly.

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

In a desolate forest where not even birds would stop, sat a small, open courtyard.

"This is the place where I stayed while taking my eldest grandson to seek medical treatment everywhere."

The Great Demon God pushed open the bamboo gate and walked toward a small thatched cottage on the left.

Inside the room, there was thick dust; it had not been cleaned for a long time.

On a small table beside the bamboo bed, there were two small clay figurines, lifelike in appearance.

The Great Demon God pointed at the two small clay figurines that resembled Qin Zhenbei and Shangguan Ying, and turned back to say, "Do you know what these are?"

Qin Zhenbei ignored him, and Shangguan Ya shook her head in confusion.

The Great Demon God smiled bitterly, "After my eldest grandson left the Qin Princes Mansion, he missed his father and mother. No matter how I tried to coax him, I couldn't stop him from crying, so I molded these little clay figurines for him."

"When he first left home, my eldest grandson wasn't close to me. He insisted on holding the little clay figurines of his father and mother, mumbling 'Daddy' and 'Mommy' before he could fall asleep."

He used his hand to gesture, about the thickness of one of his fingers, "My eldest grandson's little hands were only this tiny back then, and he had to hold the two of you—his father and mother—in his arms before he could fall asleep in peace!"
