Douluo 2: Miss Noumenon wants to be the ultimate villain

Chapter 565 But I Will Always Love You
At the moment of awakening, Xiao Shiliu felt as if his body was about to explode. He was not clear about his own martial soul, but he knew that the crystal ball that awakened his soul power was shining brightly!
The light startled everyone around, it was full of innate soul power!

In fact, Xiao Shiliu’s innate soul power is not level 10, his soul power is level 20, but because of Zhang Peng’s things and that low-level crystal ball, no one discovered it.

Little Sixteen's martial soul is a strangely shaped cow, but even so, King Liuhe and the royal family of Tianhun are still not satisfied. They want a child with a purer martial soul.

Taotie, the fifth son of the dragon, has completely disappeared even in the world of soul beasts.

According to legend, the bloodline of Taotie fell into the hands of a stable cattle soul beast to consolidate its own strength. It is rumored that the Taotie divine bull is a real soul beast.

Although few people have seen it, Tianhun still follows this rule. Most of the people they look for are women with bull-type martial spirits.

The people in Liuhe Palace only thought that Xiao Shiliu had inherited Jingshu's martial soul. Although it was not what Tianhun wanted, it was at least full innate soul power.

Xiao Shiliu finally entered the core Liuhe Palace to practice, but they still didn't give him a name.

Little Sixteen was very happy because people in the palace said that as long as he behaved well, his mother's life would get better and better.

There are quite a few children in the outer "pigsty". When their mothers heard that Xiao Shiliu had walked out, they all felt more hopeful and thought that their lives would become more and more promising.

Even Zhang Peng had his status as a handyman restored because of Xiao Shiliu. Although he could not return to the palace, his status as a handyman was still sufficient for him to make a living outside the palace.

After all, the majority of people here are women, but if a woman cannot give birth to useful children, her status is even lower than that of a servant.

Little Sixteen practiced very seriously. In addition to cultivating soul power in Liuhe Palace, the main focus was on teaching these children the ability to control earth. After all, that was the real ability contained in the Taotie bloodline.

Life in the palace is not easy either. Although Xiao Shiliu has a high innate soul power, the children whose martial souls are more like dragons still have a higher status.

In the atmosphere of Liuhe Fort, all the children are in competition with each other. Little Sixteen is the youngest, so he is always the target of bullying by the older children.

It seemed like Little Sixteen was born to fight, and he had even more soul power hidden in his body, so those kids were trying to trip him up.

Xiao Shiliu goes home to see his mother every week, and every time he dresses himself neatly before going home.

As soon as he saw his mother's smile, Xiao Shiliu felt that all his pain had disappeared.

"The noodles you cook are still the most delicious, mom." Little Sixteen drank the noodle soup in the bowl and smiled contentedly.

Jingshu stroked her son's short black hair and asked, "Did they say when they would give you a name?"

Xiao Shiliu recalled that the training instructor and the housekeeper asked him what he wanted. Between wanting a name and a mother, he said he wanted his mother to move into a better house in the inner circle.

Xiao Shiliu covered his pretty face and didn't dare to look at Jing Shu. "Actually, there's nothing wrong with calling me Xiao Shiliu. Besides, they will give me a name sooner or later. I'm not in a hurry."

"Are you speaking for your mother again?" Jingshu's expression was a little serious. She pulled out the other person's wrist and showed the piglet-like shame mark "016". "Say it again, a man should stand tall and upright. These numbers can't represent you at all. Without a name, you will never get out of here. Do you want to stay in this place without sunlight and freedom for the rest of your life?"

"What about you, mother? If you're still here, I won't go anywhere."

Jingshu was so angry at her son that she was speechless. She grabbed his wrist and picked up a rolling pin to hit him, "How can you say such spineless words? My son should have the ambition of a roc and soar into the sky. I don't have a son like you who is imprisoned and has no ambition to make progress!" But she didn't hit him in the end.

"But mother, I have never seen the outside world, and I have no idea how good it is. I only know that I am happy every day by your side since I was born." Little Sixteen's hand shrank, as if he was hiding something.

Jingshu then discovered that her son's arms under his sleeves were covered with whip marks. "Who did this?"

Little Sixteen smiled gently, like a little sun, "This injury is okay, I will be fine in a few days."

Jingshu then realized that she had been too harsh on him. She gently held Xiao Shiliu in her arms and said, "Why didn't you tell mother that you were injured? You are my son, and mother will never let anyone bully you..." At this moment she seemed to have made up her mind.

Little Sixteen wanted to act strong, but he was only a 5-year-old child after all. He began to cry uncontrollably while being held in his mother's arms.

Jingshu stroked Xiao Shiliu's hair and then stroked his neck, soothing him.

Zhang Peng, who was humming a tune and carrying some food outside the door, saw this scene and there was an indescribable depth in his eyes. In the end, he did not go in.

The good times did not last long, and the Tianhun Empire entered its darkest moment. The famine-stricken country finally waited for rain, but the rain was pitch black.

Black rain fell over the entire Douluo Continent for a month, known in history as the Black Rain Evil Month! It was the worst disaster ever committed by an evil spirit master!
At first, people didn’t know the purpose of the black rain. One day, Jing Shu saw her son coming back, all wet. “Why did you have to run around in such heavy rain?”

Little Sixteen was like a puppy caught in the rain. He shook his hair at the door before going home. He could only see his mother once in seven days, so he naturally didn't want to miss it.

He ignored his mother's reproach and extended his hand to Jingshu as if he was holding out a rare treasure.

A silver necklace lay quietly in Xiao Shiliu's hand. "I made this myself. Although it's not very beautiful..."

The simple necklace showed that Xuanzi's earth control skills were a little immature back then, and it took him a month to collect so much metal to make the necklace. This was the best gift he could give at his age.

Just as Jingshu was about to take it, Xiao Shiliu turned the mechanism on the necklace, revealing the photo inside. He said cheerfully, "A painter came to the palace. I begged him for a long time. This is you and me."

Jingshu touched her face in disbelief. The person in the portrait was very beautiful. She hadn't seen her appearance clearly for a long time. "Does it look like me?"

"Of course." Little Sixteen said with great pride, "You are a hundred times more beautiful than in the portrait."

"Then why can the painter draw me?"

"He said that you are a noble, mother, and you are the most beautiful lady in the north of Tianhun." Xiao Shiliu didn't know what a noble was, but he was among the most disgusting and evil nobles in Tianhun!
"Luckily he has met you, otherwise he would have to copy me."

"My mother looks very much like you, so there will be no problem in drawing her like you." Jingshu tapped Xiao Shiliu's nose.

Xiao Shiliu also tried to invite the painter over, but he said he would never set foot in such a place. However, when Xiao Shiliu mentioned his mother's name, the other party said that he had seen her before, and the painting was exactly the same, even younger.

The strange black rain closed all the entrances to Liuhe Fort. Little Sixteen could not go back to the palace for the time being, so he stayed at home.

Everything was normal at first, until one night Jingshu saw a pair of scarlet lights, and the next morning a chicken died in the yard!

After several nights of strange movements, Jingshu finally discovered that the person who was eating living things like a beast in the middle of the night was actually his son.

Yes, her son turned into a beast, not like a human being, with a ferocious look, crawling on the ground and eating raw food in big mouthfuls.

Jingshu was frightened by her son, but Xiao Shiliu himself didn't notice anything unusual. He just felt that he became very hungry and his appetite increased a lot.

During the day, Xiao Shiliu looked very normal, he just ate more than before.

In the middle of the night, as Xiao Shiliu fell asleep, Zhang Peng slowly spoke, "Aunt Jingshu, is there something wrong with Xiao Shiliu?"

"Xiao Peng, what are you talking about?" Jing Shu covered up, "He is just at the age of growing up. Liuhe bloodline is always special."

Zhang Peng looked at the black rain outside. "I think this rain is very unusual. It seems to be able to transform people's martial spirits. I heard people inside say that when the rain stops, they will clean up the spirit masters polluted by the black rain."

Jingshu had mixed feelings. At this moment, she was leaning towards her son because Xiao Shiliu had not hurt anyone so far. As long as she was around, such a thing would never happen.

As long as he doesn't hurt others, no one can take him away from her, and she must protect her son.

"Xiao Peng, can you promise your aunt that you won't tell anyone about this, including Xiao Shiliu!" Jingshu's eyes were filled with unquestionable firmness.

Zhang Peng smiled, "Xiao Shiliu is my brother. If it weren't for him, I would have died under the sticks of others. You took me in. I will protect Xiao Shiliu with you."

After the black rain stopped, the infected soul masters were cleared out in Liuhe Castle as expected. While Zhang Peng was doing odd jobs in the inner circle, he also brought this news to Jingshu.

She moved back to the outermost circle with her son and concealed the news that the entrance to the palace had been opened.

Xiao Shiliu's condition became more and more serious, and sometimes he would even start overeating during the day.

When Zhang Peng approached the kitchen, he smelled some blood. "Aunt Jingshu, what are you doing?"

Jingshu looked a little nervous, and she looked even more haggard than before. "You are not allowed to tell him about this."

There were faint bloodstains on the ground, either from what Xiao Shiliu had caught in a moment of distraction, or from what Jing Shu had helped him find.

Zhang Peng's face was filled with anger, mixed with some inexplicable and more complicated feelings, "Little Sixteen is already hopeless, Aunt Jingshu. Are you going to let such a monster eat up all your food? How much food can you still give out?
Now he is an animal, a soul beast, but what about the day when you can’t provide food? Are you going to let him eat people?”

Jing Shu looked at Zhang Peng with a hint of coldness, "My child is not a monster."

Zhang Peng's anger turned into an extremely painful expression. He clenched his fists and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, I will try my best to cover it up for you, but you can't hide it forever."

Xiao Shiliu's illness also tortured Jingshu into a woman like the one in the pigsty. Just as Zhang Peng said, she couldn't hide it forever.

Jingshu avoided the daytime inspections several times, but Xiao Shiliu suddenly fell ill during the day and happened to run into the guards of Liuhe Palace who were inspecting!

Faced with the soldiers trying to break in, Jingshu tried her best to block the door and hugged her frantic son tightly.

In desperation, she rolled up her sleeves and put her upper arm into Xiao Shiliu's mouth.

"Eat quickly, eat it and you will be back to normal." The hurried sound of breaking into the door made Jingshu very anxious. She just wanted her son to return to normal and avoid inspection.

"What's going on inside?" The soldier at the door felt even more suspicious of this family, but a pair of eyes in the darkness saw everything clearly.

,,,

,,,

,,,

In the end, I don’t know what happened during this period.

Jingshu felt that she had overestimated herself and she could no longer protect her children.

Before she died, she tried her best to hold Little Sixteen's neck, and with her last bit of strength, she whispered in his ear, "My child, I'm sorry that I couldn't get you a name, but I will always love you, and you must live on."

A line of clear tears flowed from Jingshu's eyes, and she fell down along with Xiao Shiliu's body.

Little Sixteen, whose pupils had returned to amber, couldn't even grab his mother's hand before she collapsed on him, no longer breathing.

He looked at his hands. It was blood, his mother's blood. Even his mouth tasted of blood.

At this moment, the officers and soldiers finally broke into the room. They only saw a woman lying next to a child, and both of them were covered in blood.

At this moment, Xiao Shiliu could no longer feel anything else. With his eyes blank, he knelt on the ground with his back raised. The next second, a strange and ferocious beast behind him completely enveloped him!

The moment the bright red soul power broke out of the body and touched the skin, it immediately scratched the soldiers' faces, leaving bloody cuts.

The terrifying waves of soul power were surging, and the dilapidated house where he had lived for five years completely disappeared on the spot.

A crazy beast appeared in what they considered to be the dirtiest "pigsty". The celestial phenomena changed drastically, and dirty places like Liuhebao should also disappear!
