Falling in Love with a 500-year-old female elder

Chapter 13: Digging bones! The minds of listeners exploded!

Meanwhile, on the other side of the inn, Iron Mountain, who had been tasked with killing Ning Chuan, listened to Ningchuan’s storytelling while lowering his gaze to his empty left hand.

“Waiter, give me the wine,” the Iron Mountain’s loud voice resounded throughout the inn. Soon, the waiter spoke in a low voice, “Guest, try this apricot blossom wine. It’s the best in town. Enjoying a good story needs good wine.”

As the waiter spoke, he approached with a jar of apricot blossom wine in his hands.

Observing this, Pang Du couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth, “What the heck, are you here to work or just to drink?

“He said angrily, “Iron Mountain, because of my responsibility, I have to remind you that you are here for your task to kill Ning Chuan!”

Interrupting him, Iron Mountain warned in a soft but menacing tone, “Say another more word, I’ll eliminate you first. Believe it or not?”

Pang Du’s face turned pale upon hearing this, and he fell silent, not uttering another word. Iron Mountain appeared expressionless, and kept sipping one after another bowl of wine.

……

On the raised platform, Ning Chuan continued his narration. “On that day, Yu found Shi Hao playing with the children of his subordinates.”

“Little Boy, how about Aunt taking you to the Hundred Beasts Garden to see the Cang Luan and the Five Color Divine Sparrow?” Yu suggested with a smiling face, pulling Shi Hao towards herself.

“Yeeeaaahhh,  I’ll listen to my aunt!’ Shi Hao’s eyes turned into crescent moons with a smile when he heard that he could go see Cang Luan,” he exclaimed happily.

“At that moment, Shi Hao had no idea about the impending danger.”

“Yu smiled and nodded, leading Shi Hao into a carriage that went through the back entrance of the Heaven-Saint Palace, driving towards a suburban estate and disappearing.”

“As they ventured further into the countryside, the crowds grew sparse.”

While on the journey, young Shi Hao behaved admirably, following Yu’s plans without many questions.

“I don’t know how long the carriage has been driving, but it’s gotten dark, and the road is surrounded by dense forests on both sides,” the tired child inquired, “Mom, how much longer until we get there?”

“‘Soon,'” Rain replied, his smile gradually fading, replaced by a blank expression.

After roughly another incense stick’s worth of time, the carriage eventually came to a halt at the entrance of an abandoned estate.Rain guided the young one to step out of the carriage and made their way towards the ominous manor with a desolate underground palace.A ghostly wind gusted out from the entrance of the underground palace.Holding Yu’s hand, the little one couldn’t help but tighten his grip.

“Grand… Aunt, I’m a little scared,” Shi Hao whispered.

“Rain, having entirely abandoned his disguise, firmly commanded, “Move quickly!” in a stern tone.”

“After uttering those words, Rain forcefully yanked the young child and hurried into the underground palace.”

“The underground palace was shrouded in eerie silence, and as they glanced around, all they could discern was a cold stone bed..”

“In the darkness, Rain’s face contorted into a sickly smile as she lifted the Little One and pressed him onto the cold stone bed, not allowing him to move at all.”

“Auntie!’ The little one gazed at Rain, his eyes reflecting a blend of fear and uncertainty.”

“Don’t cry out, be a good and obedient boy, and I can ease your pain,” Rain whispered. However, her laughter turned chilling, and her once gentle eyes now gleamed ominously sharp and swift.”

“In the blink of an eye, Yu’s right hand flipped, revealing a gleaming turquoise dagger.”

“She lowered her head, fixing her gaze upon the little one’s chest. Her face, shrouded in darkness, was consumed by an intense greed and burning desire.”

Hearing this, the hall was filled with listeners, unable to discern Rain’s intentions.

“This woman… She actually wants to dig up the bones!!!”

“She wants to dig up Shi Hao’s supreme bones!!!”

“Shameless! How shameless!!!”

“My God, Shi Hao is so young, how can he endure the pain of bone-digging?”

“Damn! I initially thought Rain was a good woman, thanks to me.”

“Speechless! Little One has a bright future, and she is his elder mother. In the future, when Little One rises to the top, would he mistreat her? Besides, her own son Shi Yi was born with remarkable talents, destined to become one of the noblest individuals in the world! What is she thinking?”

“Could it be that this wicked woman is afraid that the little one will achieve more than her son Shi Yi in the future?Is she trying to steal the little one’s limelight?”

“Disgusting! This wicked woman is despicable!”

The listeners’ emotions boiled over one by one, and they all expressed their anger and condemnation towards Yu. As a result, their perception of Shi Yi began to shift, somewhat negatively.Observing this, Ning Chuan couldn’t help but raise his hand and gesture for the listeners to calm down a bit.

After the room quieted down, “Amidst the darkness,” Ning Chuan continued.

“Rain’s hand emanated a brilliant light, while her other hand clutched a dagger as she approached the young child.”

“Without hesitation, Rain extended her hand, bathed in radiant light, and pressed it against the chest of the young child.”

“Instantly, numerous runes surged towards the chest of the young child.”

“However, as these runes made contact with the young child’s chest, they simply dissolved away in silence.”

“Yu was taken aback by this unexpected turn of events, her eyes growing even more fervently greedy.”

“Truly worthy of a Supreme Bone; I can’t believe it has already developed such tremendous power!

Yu released a sinister chuckle, her eyes fixated on Shi Hao as a wicked smile stretched across her face. She spoke in a cold, calculated tone, “I had intended to make you lose consciousness. Firstly, it would have made it easier for me to prevent any disruptions while carrying out my plan. Secondly, it would have spared you some suffering. I never anticipated that your precious bone would naturally neutralize my spell. Should you dare to resist, I will end your life without hesitation. Do you understand?”

“‘Grandma, what is this for?’ Shi Hao is merely a two or three-year-old child, while other toddlers are still ignorant and innocent. He asked with complete innocence and confusion.

“‘Grandma, what’s happening?’ Shi Hao, a mere two or three-year-old child, asked in complete innocence and confusion. He asked with complete innocence and confusion.”

“Yu chose to ignore his question and proceeded to take direct action. She gripped the turquoise dagger and thrust it into the center of the little one’s chest.!”

“She then delicately twisted the tip of the knife and forcefully withdrew it, instantly causing flesh and blood to part, with a gush of blood erupting forth.!”

“‘Ouch!’ Little Bit cried out in agony, his eyes wide with horror. He couldn’t fathom what he had done wrong to warrant such treatment. He was just a young child; what could he possibly understand?”

“A slap.” voice echoed in the air

“Yu slapped the young child across the face and grumbled, “‘Quiet! I warned you not to cry out. Do you want me to end your life right this moment?'”?'”

“Little Bit trembled and tightly bit his lips.”

“‘This is quite troublesome,'” Rain muttered impatiently, shaking her head, and resumed the process of cutting open the young child’s chest.

“And next to them, at some point, another young child appeared.”

“That’s Shi Yi.”

“Shi Yi quietly observed the scene, maintaining an astonishing composure, leaving the onlookers to wonder if he was indeed less than four years old. His inexplicable calmness left them baffled, as if he possessed some kind of magical quality.”

“Blood flowed, and the young child’s face grew pallid. His large eyes appeared devoid of life, and he continued to cry out in anguish, sobbing uncontrollably.”

“‘We can’t afford any mistakes. I’ve consulted the ancient texts, and they indicate that this grafting can succeed. With my son already born with two pupils and the addition of this Supreme Bone Immortal Bone, he is destined for greatness in heaven and earth!'” As they approached a critical juncture, Rain couldn’t help but feel a hint of nervousness and whispered to herself.”

“‘Grandma…'” The young boy tilted his small face, tears streaming down, and extended his tiny, pleading hands in a desperate attempt to alleviate his excruciating pain.

However, Yu remained indifferent, her face icy cold, persistently removing piece after piece of flesh and blood from the young child.
