Good heavens, the ancestor has gone to confess his love again!

Even though Ye Linxiao's sins were unforgivable, and even though that absurd entanglement began with her impulsive desire to atone for her sins, she should never have gotten pregnant with Xu Pingsheng's child.

But none of these were the key factors; what truly filled her with despair and fear was...

It is another, even more cruel and cold truth hidden deep within her heart.

For her, the two short days she spent with Xu Pingsheng were worth more than a lifetime she would spend with Ye Linxiao!

She lived for tens of thousands of years, upholding the virtues of womanhood and keeping to her duty. She was the wife of the dignified, virtuous, and law-abiding sect leader of the Moon Shadow Immortal Sect and the Grand Elder of the Azure Cloud Holy Land, and was gentle and restrained throughout her life.

But from that day on, she realized that women could live such wonderful lives...

It turns out that love is not about lonely companionship and forbearance, but about intense intimacy and a harmonious union of body and mind.

After leaving the Primordial Secret Realm, she tossed and turned in the empty, cold palace during countless lonely and desolate nights, unable to sleep. Her mind was uncontrollably filled with the memories of the two of them together, those unrestrained and tender moments replaying in her heart again and again, lingering there.

Even... secretly crying!

Reason told her that she absolutely could not keep the child, but the answer in her heart was completely the opposite.

Because Xu Pingsheng is definitely surrounded by many women, and his gaze towards her holds absolutely no lingering affection. If it weren't for the child as a bond, she would never be able to let Xu Pingsheng look at her again, let alone hope for it...

Her relationship with Xu Pingsheng was too fragile; once she let go, it would truly be over…

Qin Jianjia understood her own heart, but this plunged her into deeper pain and self-loathing.

She came from a family steeped in scholarship and upheld traditional etiquette throughout her life. She was a virtuous wife and loving mother praised by the world. She should have been dignified, self-disciplined, and content with little, fulfilling her duties and living up to her status.

But now, she has developed such stubborn and rebellious thoughts, attempting to use her child to bind others, betraying social norms and going against her own heart, which is absurd and despicable.

Guilt, shame, greed, and obsession—countless emotions intertwined and entangled, trapping her and leaving her in a dilemma.

In a state of utter confusion.

boom!

With a loud crash, the heavy wooden door of the palace was kicked open!

Dressed in brocade robes, Ye Huohuo stormed into the inner hall, his fierce and ruthless eyes locking onto Qin Jianjia's slightly protruding belly the moment he entered, and a raging fire instantly ignited in his eyes.

Qin Jianjia's delicate brows furrowed suddenly, a deep sense of disappointment and displeasure flashing through her heart. She spoke softly:

"Huo Huo, you're getting more and more outrageous! You actually kicked down the door and barged into your mother's bedroom. Where are the rules?"

Although Ye Huohuo was arrogant, domineering, and willful in the past, and caused trouble outside, he still respected her.

Despite the countless troubles he had caused in the past, she always remembered that he was her only child and cleaned up the mess for him time and time again, raising him with great care.

But now, he has become increasingly arrogant and domineering, showing no respect for his elders. Such rude behavior fills her with a chilling feeling.

But Ye Huohuo seemed not to hear her rebuke. His aura surged, his gaze fixed on the bulge, his eyes bloodshot, his teeth clenched, and he spoke each word slowly and deliberately:

"Whose child is this in your belly? Which wild man's bastard?"

"Snapped!"

A crisp, loud slap suddenly echoed throughout the entire palace.

Qin Jianjia's face was frosty, her eyes filled with an icy chill. Her fingertips trembled slightly as she sternly rebuked, "Ye Huohuo! Stop talking nonsense! These are your own flesh and blood, your closest relatives!"

Ye Huohuo's head turned to the side from the slap, a clear five-finger mark instantly appearing on his cheek. But the anger in his eyes intensified, and instead, a chilling, mocking sneer curled at the corners of his lips:

"Oh? Mother, do you mean this is my father's child?"

Hearing this, Qin Jianjia felt a little guilty, but she still suppressed her inner panic and replied in a deep voice, pretending to be calm: "Of course it belongs to your father."

"Hahaha~~~My dad's?"

Ye Huohuo suddenly threw her head back and burst into wild laughter.

"Mother, do you really think everyone is a fool? There are some things my father never told you in detail because of his pride, but he has already told me everything! My father suffered a fatal injury in the great war with the primordial gods a thousand years ago, and has long since lost his human powers, making him unable to have children for the rest of his life! He has been in seclusion for many years, never sharing a bed with you, not because he is ascetic, but because he simply cannot!"

"What...?"

Qin Jianjia shuddered violently, her delicate body staggering half a step.

All the doubts I had over the years suddenly became clear at this moment.

So that's how it is!

Ye Huohuo stared intently at her pale, dazed face, and roared angrily:

"My father's body is barely cold, humanity is still mourning, and you are already so impatient, unable to bear the loneliness, engaging in illicit relations with another, even secretly becoming pregnant!"

"Mother, ask yourself honestly, how can you do this to Father? How can you betray the bond we've shared for thousands of years?"

The piercing question struck her ears, and Qin Jianjia remained stunned for a long time.

hehe~~

Did she wrong Ye Linxiao?

Without her, Ye Linxiao would have died among beggars long ago. Without the strong support of the Qin family and the Moon Shadow Immortal Sect, how could Ye Linxiao have come all the way to become the Grand Elder of the Azure Cloud Holy Land?

The one I should apologize to is... Ye Linxiao!

She slowly raised her eyes, all panic subsiding, her expression suddenly returning to calm. She spoke softly, each word clear and distinct:

"Your father betrayed me first. You are still young and have no idea how many despicable things your father has done behind your back. I have kept quiet and not exposed him, out of consideration for our thousands of years of marriage and to give him the last bit of dignity."

But upon hearing this, Ye Huohuo not only didn't understand, but instead looked disdainful and sneered:

"Hmph! Stop spouting excuses and trying to pin your mistakes on my father! My father is of noble birth and holds a high position of power. It's their good fortune to occasionally toy with some exceptionally talented women, and it's their glory to destroy some sects!"

"In my opinion, you are a sexually frustrated slut, even a slut who conspired with her lover to murder her own husband!"

"What...what did you say?"

Qin Jianjia's delicate body trembled violently, her whole body turned ice-cold, and she stared blankly at her son, whose face was ferocious and whose words were harsh, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Is this her biological son, whom she has raised with great care and doted on since childhood?

In the past, he was unruly and willful, but she always tolerated and indulged him, cleaning up his messes and protecting him, hoping that he would become sensible and successful in the future.

Even now, he not only cannot distinguish right from wrong, black from white, and his values ​​are extremely distorted, but he can also utter such filthy, mean, and rebellious words to his own mother!

Countless years of love and devotion have turned into a complete joke in an instant.

She slightly raised her finger and pointed at Ye Huohuo, her fingertips trembling uncontrollably. Her throat tightened with a lump, and a thousand words were stuck in her chest, yet she couldn't utter a single one.

Utter disappointment and despair completely overwhelmed her.

So, this is Ye Linxiao's bloodline.

Cold-hearted, selfish, double-standard, unable to distinguish right from wrong, black from white.

She slowly lowered her fingertips, and all the hesitation, struggle, and guilt in her eyes vanished.

A moment later, she chuckled softly.

The laughter was soft, yet it carried a chilling coldness and a resolute determination.

That's it, that's it.

Since my main account is useless, I'll just create a new one.

The fetus in her womb moved slightly, and a faint warmth came again, steadily calming her mind.

Qin Jianjia raised her eyes, her clear, cold eyes no longer showing any confusion, only a cold and resolute determination.

He looked quietly at Ye Huohuo, his tone calm and even, yet carrying an unwavering resolve:

"You can leave now."

"From this day forward, I, Qin Jianjia, will have only one son, the son in my womb!"

Just as Ye Huohuo was about to leave in anger, an old voice suddenly echoed in his mind:

"etc!"

"The aura of the child in her womb... it's from the Supreme Bone..."

"Fire, your time has come!!"
