Chapter 36: Master, Give Me a Kiss and a Hug (1)

Translator: DragonRider

At the intersection of the Three Realms was complete nothingness, where Sky and Earth met without distinct line, dark and grey with no end. But there existed an enormous ice coffin standing on end in the air, where a beautiful white-robed cultivator was sleeping with his clothes on, his robe as white as snow and his face ruddy. Mu Chen would definitely be surprised if he saw the man in the coffin, because the man looked quite similar to him.

There stood in the air an old man next to the coffin with his head lowered, who was gently touching the coffin; and in a minute, a flicker of restrained pain showed up on his face with unswerving determination, "You fell in love with a woman from mortal world. Consequently, you got punished by the God and were oppressed here, more dead than alive. What could I say! Is it worth it?"

In the meanwhile, at the ancestral hall of Chen.

Chen Mo stared at his own father, his face filled with complaints, and questioned: "You have driven Mu Chen out of Chen Clan and forbidden him to step into our house until his death, even depriving him of his right to visit his mother's grave. Then, why did you use what his mother had left to lure him back?"

"We brought him up, so he must take his responsibility." The man looked strict with his young sister's memorial tablet in his hand, a pair of emotionless eyes and two lines of deep nasolabial folds making him look harsh and ruthless. "With the help of him, your grandfather can definitely make a breakthrough into the Synthesis Stage. If Mu Chen still remembers his own identity, then he should come back as soon as possible after seeing what his mother left."

"Hum!" sneered Chen Mo, looking exhausted in his eyes. It was them who had taken Mu Chen as a dirty bastard and even threatened to kill him, but now, these shameless people dared to order Mu Chen to show filial piety to them. Chen Mo had felt disappointed at his family when he saw their doings these years. Closing his eyes to cover his disappointment, Chen Mo said slowly: "No, he is named after his father, not Chen family. Aunt gave him the family name 'Mu', and never regretted even when she died. It's you. You betrayed her and let her down."

"How dare you!" harshly berated the middle-aged man, who put down the tablet and stared at Chen Mo in anger: "How dare you talk to me like that!"

Dejectedly throwing himself on his knees, Chen Mo kowtowed three times to his ancestral memorial tablets, and then gave another three deep kowtows to his father, "I'm a disobedient son. I need to go out to experience for hundreds of years. If I am lucky to survive, then I will show my filial piety to our family."

As his last word fell, Chen Mo got up, looking at ease in his eyes. He also felt worn-out after all these years.

"You are such an unfilial son! As the next Clan Master, you should discard your family just for a bastard..."

"Father!" Chen Mo couldn't bear to suppress his anger and roared back: "Chen is the son of your sister! You call him 'bastard', then have you ever felt sorry to Aunt?" He pointed to the memorial tablet in front of them, his eyes burning, "Aunt is watching you! She is looking at her respectful brother abuse her dearest son."

Hearing that, the Clan Master of Chen's face changed abruptly and he fell silent, perhaps because he had no idea how to react to the outburst of his son who had always been obedient before, or because he felt guilty.

Throwing a deep glance to his father, Chen Mo turned around and left in a determined manner, never turning back his head.
