Chapter 255: Chapter 243 Heavenly Yang and Earthly Yin Technique (1/3)

"Mother?" Zhou Heng murmured, without a doubt, feeling an incredible closeness the moment he saw the beautiful woman, as if there was an extraordinary connection between them.

This was the bond of mother and son, an inexplicable thread linking them together in the darkness.

"Heng’er!" Zhao Kexin was half-kneeling by the bed, wanting to touch Zhou Heng’s face with both hands, yet afraid that he was too badly injured, that even a gentle touch might hurt him. Her eyes were filled with guilt.

"Your mother has wronged you and your father!" Tears shimmered in her beautiful eyes, "Mother wanted so much to find you, but... but to do so would have killed you both!"

"Heng’er, you don’t know how much your mother has missed you!"

Zhou Heng tried to extend his hand, but intense pain was radiating from every part of his flesh and bones, causing his arm to fall back down as he tried to raise it. He gave a bitter smile and said, "Mother, I know, everything was caused by Zhao Duotian!"

"You should not blame your uncle too much, he was born with such a temperament!" Zhao Kexin interceded for Zhao Duotian.

Zhou Heng found it difficult to speak, so he simply listened quietly to Zhao Kexin.

Years of suppressed longing for her son burst forth from Zhao Kexin, as she rambled beside the bed about how she missed their father and son, without any particular focus, just speaking whatever came to mind. Zhou Heng, however, didn’t mind; having craved his mother’s love for so many years, he wouldn’t be bothered by whatever she said, content just to look upon her kind and gentle face.

Half a day later, Zhao Kexin went out to get Zhou Heng’s dinner, and Zhou Heng finally had time to digest what she had told him.

Actually, it was quite simple.

Zhao Duotian was an absolutely domineering man, filled with indulgence for his only sister, Zhao Kexin, and convinced that Zhou Dinghai was unworthy of her, which led him to forcefully separate them.

As for why Zhou Heng didn’t join the Zhao Family? Because he did not bear the Zhao surname, it was that simple.

Until Feng Lianqing and Ying Huoxin were defeated in Shengyuan City and Zhou Heng was revealed to possess the Crimson Gold bloodline—actually, it was a physique formed by the Gold Devouring Clan, but it was misunderstood by Ying Huoxin.

Mistake after mistake, Zhao Duotian was extremely protective of his clan members. Even though Zhou Heng didn’t bear the Zhao surname, possessing the Zhao Family’s bloodline made him a clan member! Hence, he sent Ling Baidong to fetch Zhou Heng.

Unexpectedly, Ling Baidong turned out to be no match for Zhou Heng and returned in disgrace, which surprised Zhao Duotian, and also piqued his curiosity even more.

No matter how much he disliked Zhou Dinghai, he would not take it out on Zhou Heng, because this was his sister’s only son!

Zhou Heng sighed. Indeed, Zhao Duotian was the arch-culprit who had caused his family to be scattered for twenty years! One day, when his strength surpassed that of his uncle, who was naturally terrifying and monstrously gifted, he would definitely give him a good thrashing!

But for now, he had to focus on healing his wounds and work hard to raise his cultivation level.

A smile appeared on Zhou Heng’s face. Although he had faced the most bitter failure since he began his journey, this battle had also brought him tremendous gains.

He had finally witnessed the Domain!

Originally, he had a direction but, without knowing if it was right or wrong and without guidance, he walked in curves where he could’ve taken a straight path. Had he not seen Zhao Duotian wield the power of the Domain Realm, he might not have grasped the concept of Domain for another three to five years.

But now... his smile grew wider, it was definitely not going to happen overnight, but it certainly wouldn’t take too long.

Because now he had a clear target ahead.

"Zhou Heng!"

"Master!"

Xiao Huoshui, Orchid Concubine, and Nangong Yuerong, the three ladies, entered one by one from the doorway. Xiao Huoshui was holding a food container in her hand, her face showing the most concern, unlike Orchid Concubine who was obviously feigning it.

As for Nangong Yuerong, there was a hint of schadenfreude, her slightly upturned mouth revealing her quite pleased mood at the moment.

It seems that this was deliberately arranged by Zhao Kexin.

Following the three ladies was Feng Lianqing, the wild girl, who kept revealing her small white teeth at Zhou Heng, seemingly wanting to take advantage of his illness to roast and eat him.

This foodie wouldn’t really eat people, would she?

Zhou Heng couldn’t help but grit his teeth. His constitution was comparable to a Mountains and Rivers Realm magic artifact. Logically speaking, even if Feng Lianqing bit her teeth to pieces, she shouldn’t be able to hurt him! But the power of a foodie is boundless. Who knows if she could digest anything just as Zhou Heng refined any metal?

After all, with Zhou Heng’s current strength, it was absolutely impossible for him to destroy a Nascent Soul Realm peerless metal, but he could definitely devour it with his Gold Devouring ability, just like the Demon Sword that the Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch had seized!

If he could do it, why couldn’t others?

Thinking about this foodie chewing on his toes, Zhou Heng couldn’t help but laugh despite the blackening of his face.

Xiao Huoshui tenderly waited on Zhou Heng as he ate, gently wiping the crumbs from the corner of his mouth with a silk scarf, appearing every bit the gentle and demure wife, showing none of her past provocative allure. However, the neckline of her dress was rather low, revealing two round jade mounds.

Damn it!

He couldn’t move his hands now, and even opening his mouth was quite the effort, yet this seductive woman was still trying to tempt him. What if he got angry?

"Giggle giggle!" Xiao Huoshui laughed sweetly, leaning into Zhou Heng’s ear and saying, "Bad guy, you can look but you can’t eat, are you in a rush?"

"You’re digging your own grave. One day, I’ll bury you!" Zhou Heng said viciously.

"How dare this servant deceive the master!" Xiao Huoshui laughed again, her chest heaving with laughter.

Zhou Heng clenched his teeth in fury. This seductive woman, once he recovered from his injury, he would definitely make her cry and beg for mercy!

"Orchid Concubine and I passed the second trial of the Nine Mystic Trial Tower a few days ago and got this—" Xiao Huoshui reached into her space artifact and took out a thin book, "The Heavenly Yang and Earthly Yin Technique!"

After she and Orchid Concubine broke through to the Land Cleaving Realm, they finally had the ability to pass the trials of the Initial Separation Realm in the Nine Mystic Trial Tower, but the rewards they received must have been pathetic. Zhou Heng hadn’t even given them a proper look.

"This is a dual cultivation technique. There’s no rank to it, but the greater the disparity between the strengths of both people, the greater the benefits for the weaker party, and it also has the effect of healing wounds!" Xiao Huoshui explained.

That’s not bad. His realm was much stronger than Xiao Huoshui and the other two girls, so if they cultivated the Heavenly Yang and Earthly Yin Technique with him, it would bring great benefits to the three women. However, wouldn’t that make him an unconventional crucible?

"I’ll read the technique to you!" Xiao Huoshui flipped open the pages and began to read. Her voice was sweet and sultry, tickling his heart like a cat’s paw.

With Zhou Heng’s comprehension ability, he understood seventy to eighty percent of it just by listening once. By the time Xiao Huoshui finished reading a second time, he had naturally grasped the full intricacies.

"Then, let’s begin!" Xiao Huoshui shooed Feng Lianqing out, then climbed onto the bed with a flirtatious, lithe figure, flipping off the quilt in a flash, and stripped Zhou Heng completely naked.

Zhou Heng’s face twitched.

If everyone was bare, that would be one thing, but it was just him naked with the three women fully dressed, which naturally made him feel somewhat embarrassed.

"Do you want me to take off my clothes?" Xiao Huoshui bit her lip, her gaze soft and beguiling, as if dripping with water.

Nonsense!

Zhou Heng already had trouble speaking, so he just glared at her with his eyes.

"I won’t take them off, just to make you drool!" Xiao Huoshui laughed with a "giggle giggle", but eventually, they got to the main topic, and the two began to cultivate according to the Heavenly Yang and Earthly Yin Technique.
