Transcending the Nine Heavens

CHAPTER 30: Such a Silly Girl

The gust of wind broke through the air, making a ‘whoosh’ sound, and a faint white smoke began to spread in the air!

Tie Butian closed her eyes, her hands tightly covering her lower abdomen, a trace of reluctance and guilt passing over her face. Two streams of clear tears slowly slid down...

Chu Yang, I can’t protect our child anymore...

“Master!” Yang Ruolan, having gone through such an incident, naturally knew how enraged her master had become. Anticipating this, she quickly stepped forward, raising her hands to block Lanmei Xian’s strike. At the same time, she kicked Tie Butian, sending her body sliding flatly away.

“Have mercy!” At this moment, Yang Ruolan managed to utter these four words.

Lanmei Xian kicked her back, sending Yang Ruolan flying, and angrily said, “You have no right to advise me to show mercy!” A bitter smile crossed her lips as she continued, “In my life, I have taken in two disciples. The first was unmarried and lost her virtue, abandoning the ice heart jade bone divine art halfway! Now, my second disciple is actually pregnant before marriage! What’s more…”

“This is my lifelong hope! Now, it’s all turned to smoke!” As Lanmei Xian spoke, she felt a surge of suffocation rising to her heart and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, gritting her teeth, “If I don’t kill you… how can I relieve the hatred in my heart!”

“Master… but even if you want to punish her, you must understand the situation first… perhaps junior sister is also a victim, forced into this…” Yang Ruolan called out with all her strength, not having time to stop her.

“Hmm?” This sentence cleared Lanmei Xian’s mind, and she halted her movements, looking at Tie Butian, “What exactly happened?”

“Master…” Tie Butian took a deep breath, lifting her face, “It was my own willing choice…”

“Vile woman!” Lanmei Xian was furious, “What’s so good about those stinking men? Why… why are you all like this… again and again…” She was filled with grief and anger, unable to articulate her words, her fingers trembling.

“Junior sister, what exactly happened?” Yang Ruolan walked to Tie Butian’s side, gently asking.

Tie Butian lowered her head, hesitating for a long time. Sensing Yang Ruolan's kindness, she quietly said, “My man… the man I deeply love… he… he was poisoned by the lust serpent to help me. And at that time… I was the only one by his side…”

“The lust serpent poison…” Yang Ruolan and Lanmei Xian exclaimed in shock simultaneously.

“I never expected that just that one time would lead to a child… but I don’t regret it; instead, I feel very fulfilled.” Tie Butian kept her head down, but her voice was firm, “I know this disappoints Master’s expectations, and I feel very guilty for not being able to meet your wishes… but…”

She lifted her head, looking at Lanmei Xian, and softly said, “Master… please forgive me. If things could be repeated… I would still save him… and even if there were other women beside him, I would… never let go!”

Tears dripped from her stunning face as she spoke of this matter, her cheeks blushing with shame; yet, there was no hesitation, no doubt—she spoke the most heartfelt words.

“Sigh!” Lanmei Xian let out a long sigh. Closing her eyes, she seemed to age several decades in that instant!

She came from a prominent family, and because of her exceptional talent, she was taken in as a disciple by an extraordinary person. From then on, her life was dedicated to cultivating the ice heart jade bone divine art; however, due to her limited talent, she ultimately could not break through the last barrier.

Forty years ago, she had already reached this bottleneck but could not move past it, knowing that her life might end here. So she took in Yang Ruolan, a successor with jade bones; but unexpectedly, when Yang Ruolan grew up and was on the verge of mastering her cultivation technique, she fell deeply in love with Chu Feiling!
