Chapter 116: Chapter 115: Perhaps You Shouldn’t Have Been Born

Mianmian didn’t know that Green was angry; she set down the miniaturized Divine Farmer’s Cauldron and headed outside.

A group of people walked out of the central Main Hall of the Underground Palace, returned to the Dungeon Area, and then up to where the village chief’s mechanism was located.

The Su Family’s Bodyguards were already quietly standing guard there. Seeing that everyone had safely made it up, the physically robust man in a black suit visibly sighed in relief and bowed to Mianmian.

"Little Auntie, welcome back victorious."

Mianmian hadn’t expected anyone to be there to greet her. She sweetly thanked the Bodyguard and then earnestly said, "But you can’t just welcome Mianmian, you know. We’ve all come back victorious, including Bai Bai."

After hearing Mianmian’s words, the Bodyguard kept saying it was his fault, and after bowing again, he added, "Welcome back to the seventh young master and Little Auntie’s friends."

After listening to this, Mianmian’s smile grew even sweeter as she bounced happily forward.

Having successfully overcome the crisis, Little Bun was actually very happy.

"I won’t be going over," Chu Qi said. "Little Auntie, I’m going to command your golden bean soldiers to perform the rescue. You go ahead with your business."

There were still women and children in the village who needed to be rescued; this had to be done quietly, without giving those people a chance to harm the innocents.

Mianmian nodded, "Okay, then you go. I’m taking Liao An to find his mom."

After Chu Qi left, Mianmian began to walk outside with her short legs. Suddenly, she heard Liao An’s voice from behind her.

"Little Auntie, can, can we go a little faster?"

His tone was somewhat pleading.

Hearing Liao An’s urging, knowing that he was eager to see his mother, Mianmian called back, "Sure, sure, sure we can!"

Speeding up would be easy!

Mianmian patted Bai Bai.

"Bai Bai, get bigger, bigger, and even bigger!"

The little pup Bai Bai instantly grew in size.

Mianmian took Liao An’s hand and helped him onto Bai Bai’s back with her.

Bai Bai’s four legs ran swiftly, and in no time at all, they arrived at the Pomegranate Garden. Under Mianmian’s direction, Bai Bai stopped beside the largest pomegranate tree.

Since it was very dark, Mianmian took out a Night Pearl from her small bag to light the way.

Under the glow of the Night Pearl, the branches of the pomegranate tree in front of Liao An and Mianmian were lush, and the fruit was beautiful with its bright red color.

Before Liao An could speak, Mianmian, who was already exceptionally anxious, said, "Oh dear, don’t just stand there all dumbfounded, call out for your mom quick!"

Liao An’s eyes revealed complex emotions as he stared at the pomegranate tree before him, the word "mom" stuck in his throat, unable to come out.

When Mianmian fought with Liao Yue, displaying her swordsmanship skills and the sudden use of the Soul-hooking Rope to summon the spirit of the Divine Farmer’s Cauldron, these made him believe what Mianmian had said, which was why he had urged her to hurry just now.

You see, ever since he was 3 years old and noticed that other children in the village had mothers, Liao An started to wonder where his own mother was.

The villagers, apart from Yi Min who was highly regarded by Liao Yue, treated him—a half-human, half-snake—with great respect, almost granting his every wish. Yet these same people would jovially change the subject whenever he asked where his mother was: "Young Master Liao An, how can we men always be looking for our mothers? Come on, I’ll take you hunting in the mountains for some fun."

As he grew older, Liao An stopped asking about it.

Because the answer was all too clear.

In the village, women who were disobedient and tried to run away or who attempted suicide to end their lives were killed by the villagers. They were either sent to the snake’s den or cruelly tortured until they became fertilizer for the pomegranate trees.

Liao An often wondered under which pomegranate tree his mother was buried, yet he never dared to approach them.

What could he say even if he got closer? His mother was already dead, and her soul was bound by these Soul-suppressing Steles. Under the effect of the steles, her soul couldn’t go to the Underworld to be reincarnated, but she also couldn’t appear.

Although he was half a demon, his body was even weaker than that of an ordinary person. He couldn’t destroy these Soul-suppressing Steles, nor could he find where his mother was buried.

And now, someone had told him that his mother’s soul had merged with the pomegranate tree, right before his eyes.

As Liao An was lost in thought, the pomegranate tree suddenly moved.

There was no wind, yet the leaves of this pomegranate tree gently fell upon Liao An’s face, tenderly caressing it.

Liao An was jolted back to reality by this touch, only to discover that he had unknowingly been crying his eyes out.

He murmured, "Mom..."

Mianmian stood beside him, blinking her eyes, and touched the small porcelain bottle in her bag. She also wanted to see her mom, but unfortunately, she couldn’t yet.

So now, she needed to quickly help Liao An reunite with his mother!

Mianmian clenched her little fist, walked up to the pomegranate tree, and stepped on a Soul-suppressing Stele.

A kick imbued with spiritual power shattered the stele in an instant, the red runes broke apart, and the soul-suppressing effect disappeared, causing the pomegranate tree to tremble even more violently.

Mianmian then flung out the Soul-hooking Rope, and after a while, a woman’s phantom appeared before Liao An.

She had a cute, round face and stared at Liao An for a long time before sighing deeply.

"Mom!" Upon seeing the apparition, Liao An’s tears fell even faster.

In midnight reveries, he had thought of his mother countless times, and now he could finally see her.

Liao An didn’t want to cry in front of his mother. He raised his hand to wipe away his tears, trying hard to show a smile. He had actually inherited Liao Yue’s looks; when he smiled, he resembled Liao Yue even more closely, with two sharp snake fangs protruding from his upper row of teeth.

"Alas," Liao An’s mother sighed again, the sound distant and lingering, filled with sorrow as she said, "Perhaps you should not have been born."

Liao An’s smile froze, his eyes wide with disbelief.

How could the mother he had longed for so long tell him that perhaps he should not have been born? Why? How could this be?

The incredulity on Liao An’s face caught the woman’s eye. Frowning and pursing her lips, she said, "Your birth was not my desire, and now my soul is bound with this pomegranate tree, unable to continue a mother-son relationship with you."

Liao An lowered his gaze.

Mianmian stood beside him, feeling that what she saw didn’t match what she had calculated. Confusion spread across her little face.

Liao An and his mother clearly had a connection, and their future relationship was even supposed to be good. So why would Liao An’s mom say such things? She even said Liao An should not have been born—why?

Mianmian imagined if her own mother said those words to her, her little face immediately fell, and she clutched her chest.

No, she couldn’t think like this, her little heart began to ache.

While Mianmian was distressed by her own thoughts, Su Chenfei and Chu Ye arrived.

Hearing the commotion, Mianmian turned and ran to Su Chenfei, opening her arms and saying, "Nephew grandson, I need a hug!"

Su Chenfei, out of breath from the journey, still picked up Mianmian without a second thought upon hearing her request.

Having spent so much time with Little Auntie, he could easily tell from her tone that Little Auntie was a bit upset, so he hurriedly asked, "What’s wrong, Little Auntie? What happened?"

Mianmian pouted and, pointing towards the mother and son, asked Su Chenfei, "Nephew grandson, why did Liao An’s mom say Liao An should not have been born? Why would a mom say her own child should not have been born?"

She just couldn’t understand it!
