Chapter 223: Night Chat in the Dungeon

The only source of light—a lit torch—brightened the dark dungeon somewhat .

As Meng Chuan walked, he walked to the cell where his father was . Meng Dajiang—still fat—laid against the cell wall dispiritedly .

Click .

Meng Chuan grabbed the prison door and used his Quintessential Essence to cut open the lock . He pulled open the door, and calmly entered .

Meng Dajiang looked up and saw a familiar young figure walk in . He was stunned and couldn’t help but say, “Chuan’er . ”

“Dad . ” Meng Chuan sat cross-legged and looked at his father . “I’m here . ”

Meng Dajiang had a complicated expression as he sighed . “Dad has embarrassed you . ”

“It says in the letter that you colluded with the Skydemon Sect . There’s concrete evidence . They even said that you admitted it,” said Meng Chuan calmly . “But I don’t believe it . ”

“Ha…” Meng Dajiang smiled and shook his head bitterly . “Who doesn’t have some silly moments in their life? Back then, I was filled with anger, so I took the wrong path . I thought that it wouldn’t affect humanity much if I leaked only some information . ”

Meng Chuan looked at his father, neither angry nor vexed . He calmly asked, “Why were you angry back then?”

“Chuan’er,” Meng Dajiang stared at Meng Chuan, “in the past, I didn’t even dare tell you . Even though you’ve become a Great Solar Godfiend, it might still be too early to tell you . However, my crimes probably result in an execution . Thus, I’ll tell you everything . ”

Meng Chuan frowned . He knew that his father had secrets! However, he refused to believe that his father’s secrets would make him collude with the Skydemon Sect .

“Your mom has always been alive,” said Meng Dajiang with a smile .

Mom… is still alive? Meng Chuan was stunned . He had come here today because of his father’s so-called ‘collusion’ with the Skydemon Sect . However, he received an unbelievable piece of news .

The gentle figure in his memory was still alive?

“Then… the tomb I pay my respects at?” Meng Chuan was stunned .

“It was all a cover-up . We told everyone that we failed to find her bones after she blocked the demons . That’s why we made a cenotaph,” said Meng Dajiang . “However, we lied to the world! Your mother is alive and well . Not only that, but your mother is also a powerful Godfiend! Her name is… Bai Nianyun!”

“Bai Nianyun?” Meng Chuan was alarmed . “Black Sand Grotto-Heaven’s Grand Yin Holy Maiden, Bai Nianyun?”

Black Sand Grotto-Heaven had five Grand Yin Holy Maidens . All five were Marquis Godfiends . They hoped to become Regis Godfiends . After all, whoever became a Regis Godfiend would control the mysterious Grand Yin Holy Hall .

“Yes, Grand Yin Holy Maiden,” said Meng Dajiang . “Your mother has been a Grand Yin Holy Maiden since she was young . Grand Yin Holy Maidens have to follow many rules . She was ambitious and hardworking . She became a Godfiend and even reached the Great Solar realm . Only when she became a Great Solar Godfiend did she have the right to descend the mountain and travel . After being restrained for 30 years, your mother wanted to break free from the restraints her family clan had placed on her and roam the world freely .

“Therefore, she secretly came to our Great Zhou Dynasty . Here, she ended up meeting me . ” Meng Dajiang had a sweet and forlorn smile on his face . “When we first met, I had just finished my military service . ”

Meng Chuan listened carefully .

…

At Xiangshan Garden, a group of Godfiends gathered outside the dungeon . Suddenly, they saw a figure appear in the distance . It was a stocky man in purple robes . As he walked over, he exuded a terrifying might .

“Marquis . ” All the Godfiends bowed respectfully . These Indestructible Godfiends instinctively felt fear and reverence when facing Marquis Gong Xu .

The man walked over calmly .

The news of Meng Chuan meeting his father in the dungeon reached him immediately! Ignoring the fact that it was late at night, Marquis Gong Xu immediately rushed over .

“Marquis, Senior Brother Meng is still in the dungeon, chatting with his father . ”

“Marquis, do you wish to enter?” asked a Godfiend .

Marquis Gong Xu looked at the dungeon entrance and indifferently said, “Let Meng Chuan have a chat with his father . ” He stood outside the dungeon and didn’t disturb the duo .

…

Inside the cell .

“That was the first time I discovered that your mother was a Godfiend . ” Meng Dajiang smiled . “I was very shocked . Why would a Godfiend be willing to marry a mortal like me? Yet, your mother asked me with a giggle, ‘Dajiang, you are willing to marry me when I’m a mortal . Are you not willing to marry me when I’m a Godfiend?’

“Back then, I immediately answered, ‘Of course I’m willing . ’ Your mother said, ‘Dajiang, it’s the same for me! I don’t care if you are a Godfiend or mortal . I’m willing to marry you, Meng Dajiang . ’”

Meng Chuan listened carefully and saw the blissful look on his father’s face .

“What did I do to deserve marrying your mother?” said Meng Dajiang . “Back then, I swore that I’d make your mother happier with my life . Your mother also revealed her identity to me . She’s a descendant of Black Sand Grotto-Heaven’s Bai family! The Bai family is a family clan stronger than a Regis Godfiend family clan; it’s one of the top family clans in the world,” said Meng Dajiang . “Bai Nianyun is also a Grand Yin Holy Maiden, and they are forbidden to marry anyone and have to maintain their virginity .

“However, your mother violated all these rules . Once she is exposed, the Bai family will lose face and punish her severely . Since she has violated Grand Yin Holy Hall’s rules, they will also punish her severely . ” Meng Dajiang continued, “People from the Bai family may also vent their anger on mortals like our Meng family and I . That’s why I kept it a secret .

“Your mother had always planned to keep it a secret and hide in the Great Zhou Dynasty . She wanted our family of three to be together always . ” Meng Dajiang looked at Meng Chuan . “However, when you were six years old, I was working for the family clan . Both you and Nianyun were with me when we encountered a demon invasion! There were demons everywhere as they frantically hunted down humans .

“At that time, your mother had two choices . One choice was to let the demons massacre the humans as she pretended to be a mortal to escape with us . The other choice was to use her Godfiend strength to kill those second Firmament demon monarchs and demon army, forcing them into a retreat . However, the cultivation system for Grand Yin Holy Maidens is unique . Once a Grand Yin Holy Maiden uses their strength, our Great Zhou Dynasty’s Earth Net will definitely realize that it was a Grand Yin Holy Maiden that had taken action . Black Sand Grotto-Heaven would then soon learn of it too . ”

Meng Dajiang looked at Meng Chuan . “Your mother chose to save those people . In front of you, she pretended to resist the demons while we ran for our lives . But in reality, your mother swept through the demon army and killed the demon monarchs in the blink of an eye, causing them to flee in terror . That time, your mother saved over 100,000 people . Meng Dajiang said,” The word on the street was that a Godfiend had saved those people, but nobody knew the Godfiend’s name! That Godfiend was your mother . ”

Meng Chuan listened silently .

“After exposing her strength, your mother had to return . ” Meng Dajiang looked at Meng Chuan . “Your mother left me an Astral Spirit Herb to help you build your Godfiend foundation in the future . Your mother told me that she did not regret the eight years that we spent together . From then on, I’ve never met your mother again . ”

Meng Dajiang looked at Meng Chuan . “Those eight years were the happiest time of my life . I understood that I was mortal and that I was too weak . If I were strong enough, even the Bai family wouldn’t dare to underestimate me . Your mother and I could be together openly . Therefore, I tried my best to become stronger! I did my best to become stronger, just for a chance to be with your mother again . ”
