Chapter 14: Did the so-called Emperor of Heaven rely on these means to grow?
At this very moment, as Ning Chuan narrated, the listeners felt as though they were truly witnessing the dark and desolate underground palace depicted in the bone-digging scene. Unbeknownst to them, the entire Seven Blessings Inn had become a hubbub of emotions. Hundreds of people were present, all with red eyes and heavy breaths.
“Why would Shi Hao be subjected to such treatment? He was merely born with a supreme bone!” they exclaimed, filled with disbelief and anger. Nan Xiyue, seated in a southern corner, had risen at some point. Tears had silently streamed down her stunningly beautiful face. The tale Ning Chuan had just recounted was evidently about Shi Hao. However, to her ears, it seemed like it was about herself. A memory from the past surged relentlessly in her mind. Once again, she felt the sharp pain in her heart, like a twisting knife.
On the opposite side of the inn, Iron Mountain, a robust man nearly three meters tall, took a sip of mulled wine. He glanced at his empty left arm, and a touch of self-deprecation appeared on his face. Softly, he mused, “Bone-digging… Isn’t my broken arm just like the bone-digging in Ning Chuan’s tale?”
…….
On the raised platform, Ning Chuan sipped his tea and continued to speak slowly. “And finally… That Supreme Bone within Shi Hao’s body was extracted by Rain. The moment that Supreme Bone emerged, it radiated an infinite brilliance, illuminating the entire underground chamber.”
The Supreme Bone was adorned with mysterious and obscure runes, resembling the script of a celestial scribe, forming a dense array of characters.
“Hahahaha, this is the Supreme Bone! It’s truly mystical and extraordinary!” Rain rejoiced while holding the Supreme Bone.
“Shi Yi, your turn now. Hold on tight! With this Supreme Bone, you are destined for a limitless future that will shake the ancient world!” Yu said to Shi Yi with excitement.
Shi Yi simply nodded without saying a word. At that instant, no one could fathom what was going through his mind.
He lay down on a jade bed, and the dagger slashed through, causing blood to drip down as his chest was cut open.
Shi Yi gently hissed a breath, clearly experiencing some pain.
“‘Shi Yi, it’s all your mother’s fault. Your mother’s movements are too heavy. Just bear with me, and my son will be fine soon.'”
“A look of heartache flashed in Yu’s eyes as she hurriedly wiped away the blood on Shi Yi’s body, took out a pain-relieving pill, and gently put it into Shi Yi’s mouth.”
“Then, she began to gently put the piece of Supreme Bone that she had taken out of Shi Hao’s body into Shi Yi’s body.”
“Next to that cold bed, Shi Hao was very haggard and painful, his big eyes filled with tears, and crystal tears rolled down with every blink of his long eyelashes.”
“He opened his little hand with difficulty, as if trying to catch a glimpse of warmth, and begged in a trembling voice: ‘Dame …'”
“Rain swept him a cold glance, then ignored it, and turned her head to look at the other bed, a loving face, a very soft voice, whispering softly, said: ‘Shi Yir, you must hold on, in the future this great domain is all yours, because… you are born supreme! ‘”
“Next to him, Shi Hao, who had lost his supreme bone, lay alone on the cold bed, his snow-white little face covered in tears, slowly falling into a coma, muttering: ‘Dame…'”
“At the most painful time, Shi Hao was calling out to his real relatives, which was heartbreaking.”
“He is a very innocent child.”
“Even now, he doesn’t have any hatred for Yu in his heart, but doubts and fears.”
“He doesn’t know why ‘Grandma’, who was still extremely nice to him before, suddenly wants to treat him like this.”
“Was it his own misbehavior?”
“His little brain couldn’t figure it out.”
“At this moment, he just wanted his own biological parents to be around and give him a good hug.”
Ning Chuan spoke slowly.
He talked about Shi Yi’s awakening.
Shi Yi, who had obtained the Supreme Bone, became even more powerful, with various visions accompanying him and surrounded by the immortal glow and divine aura.
At this moment, Shi Yi appeared like a celestial being, an exiled immortal descending to earth.
Seeing this scene, Yu burst into maniacal laughter and exclaimed, “My son was born a saint, born supreme!!! When my son becomes an adult, who else can stop my son? My son will be honored by heaven and earth, and the four seas and eight deserts will bow down! In the future, the entire Stone Kingdom and the entire Desolate Region will be trampled under my son’s feet!”
Even at this point she still refused to let Shi Hao go.
She wanted to take out all of Shi Hao’s true blood to embrace Shi Yi.
“Well, this is the end of today’s story.” Ning Chuan spoke in a soft voice.
The entire inn fell into silence!
This was unprecedented since Ning Chuan’s storytelling!
Hundreds of people, but not a single person spoke.
This was unprecedented since Ning Chuan’s storytelling!
The entire crowd of hundreds of people remained completely silent, not a single voice uttered.
The visual scene was incredibly shocking!
Everyone’s eyes were red, and their hearts were heavy with sorrow.
As if a heavy stone weighed upon their chests, leaving them oppressed and breathless.
After a prolonged silence, one person finally lifted their head and asked in a hoarse tone, “Mr. Ning, so this Heavenly Emperor, who was born for asceticism, who emerged in response to tribulations, and who became so fearsome that none dared call him honorable, is this how he grew up?”
