Chapter 19: Mother has always been there

"Ah!!!"

A scream of extreme terror echoed at the end of the silent and dim alley.

Li Er was so scared that he sat down on the ground, his face pale, his eyes filled with a horrified expression as if he had seen a ghost. He supported himself with his hands and kept crawling backwards.

"Monster! This is a monster!!" He stared in horror at Chen Zhixing standing in a pool of blood in front of him, his lips trembling.

Chen Zhixing remained calm and looked at Li Er, asking, "Who sent you?"

"I... I was wondering if you could spare me," Li Er said before he could finish.

"Forget it, I don't want to know," Chen Zhixing shook his head.

Bang!

Suddenly, Li Er, who was sitting on the ground crawling backwards, felt a sharp pain in his head. Then his consciousness shattered, and he collapsed on the ground.

A thin silver needle, as fine as a strand of hair, flashed through the night and landed in Chen Zhixing's consciousness.

In the next moment, Chen Zhixing glanced around, seeing that no one in the alley had witnessed what just happened, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mother's strength should be above that person's. Without me, she should be able to deal with him quickly."

His calm expression quickly faded from his face, replaced by a look of being frightened and scared. He sat on the ground and burst into loud crying.

What he didn't know was that on the eaves of a loft, a graceful figure was staring at this scene.

In those beautiful eyes, a trace of astonishment flashed by...

On the street.

"Zhi'er!!!"

A mournful voice rang out.

Ying Shuangshuang looked in the direction where Chen Zhixing was taken away, her eyes filled with rage.

She turned around abruptly and rushed towards the alley.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Accompanied by a cold laughter, a figure in a black robe stepped forward, blocking Ying Shuangshuang's path.

The person in the black robe played with a dagger in his hand, squinting his eyes and smiling, "That little brat died here. You and Chen Tianliang must be heartbroken, right?"

Ying Shuangshuang stopped in her tracks, raised her head, and looked at the person in the black robe. Two words came out of her throat:

"Move aside."

The person in the black robe chuckled, "What's the rush? It's just a corpse. Whether you go early or late, it's all the same."

"Hehe."

"Hehehe."

Suddenly, Ying Shuangshuang burst into laughter.

At first, it was a shallow and soft laughter.

But as it went on, the laughter became more and more intense, more and more insane!

In the end, it turned into a cry-like laughter, a terrifying sound that didn't seem human!

"Have you gone mad?"

Zhuang Wuxian, whose face was hidden under a large hood, frowned slightly. He was about to make another sarcastic remark when he suddenly sensed something and his pupils contracted.

He abruptly looked up.

He saw that at some point, Ying Shuangshuang's flowing black hair had turned into enchanting white strands!

Her nails began to grow wildly, becoming sharp and silver!

A seductive red diamond mark appeared on her forehead!

Her originally pale lips instantly turned blood-red.

Her skin became pale and icy!

Just by standing there, a faint and dangerous coldness emanated from her.

She was like a lone wolf that had been dormant on the frozen plateau, finally awakening at this moment, revealing her fangs to the world.

"Yuki Onna?!!"

In an instant, Zhuang Wuxian's face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but gasp.

His mind began to frantically flash warning signs!

"In these years, no matter how outsiders think of me as useless, or how the Chen family looks down on me, I have never cared. I always try to play the role of a virtuous wife and mother in front of them."

Ying Shuangshuang spoke softly, as if talking to herself or someone else.

"Tianliang carries a rebellious illness, and we snow women are also cursed. We were both people who wouldn't live long, but we came together to keep warm."

"Perhaps the heavens have taken pity on us two pitiful people and brought us a child."

"From the moment Zhi was born, our lives, which had lost meaning, finally found meaning again."

"Perhaps Zhi himself doesn't even know that he is not only our child, but also a beam of light that redeems our dark lives."

Zhuang Wuxian's throat rolled, as if preparing to say something, nervously stepping back.

"We have nothing in this world, and the only thing that truly belongs to us is this child."

"But..."

Ying Shuangshuang suddenly raised her head, her eyes already filled with bloodshot veins like spiderwebs, and a surge of extreme murderous intent emerged!

In the next moment.

A terrifying low growl erupted from her throat, as if countless voices overlapped, a piercing scream that didn't sound human:

"But why!!!"

"Why do you want to take away the only light that belongs to us!!!"

Boom!

Ying Shuangshuang moved in an instant!

Zhuang Wuxian only felt his vision blur, and the white-haired Ying Shuangshuang had already appeared in front of him.

Her five pale, cold fingers had already grabbed his neck and lifted him up forcefully.

Zhuang Wuxian's hood, which covered half of his face, shattered instantly.

"It's you?"

Ying Shuangshuang narrowed her eyes, a sickly smile appearing on her face. With one hand choking Zhuang Wuxian's neck, she pulled him closer.

"Hehehe, so that means the person who attacked Tianliang was Kui Mu? If I remember correctly, the entire Kui Mu sect has already perished, but you still have many close relatives alive, right?"

"Don't worry, if Zhi dies, Tianliang and I will kill everyone related to you in this world as well, as a burial for Zhi."

"As for you two, I will slice you bit by bit, burning your souls with demonic fire every day."

"Believe me, you will definitely beg for life but not get it, yearn for death but not attain it, and regret being born in this world."

Zhuang Wuxian's feet dangled in the air, his face turning red.

A suffocating feeling he had never experienced before came over him.

He looked at the completely possessed Ying Shuangshuang in front of him and felt a great terror of life and death.

A chill ran down his spine, making him shiver uncontrollably.

"I..."

He wanted to say that he was brought here by Perfected Being Kui Mu and was not the mastermind.

But before he could speak.

Those pale, cold, slender fingers slowly exerted force, tightening their grip!

Crack!

The sound of bones being crushed and shattered echoed.

A sense of regret that he had never felt before arose in Zhuang Wuxian's heart. He wanted to beg for mercy, but Ying Shuangshuang didn't give him a chance to speak!

The Astral Wandering power that was once as vast as mountains and seas in his body was completely sealed off and couldn't be activated at all.

Just then.

"Wa!"

A loud cry resounded through the entire street!

"Child!"

Ying Shuangshuang suddenly looked towards the alley, the ferocity in her eyes quickly fading, replaced by a deep sense of worry and concern.

Bang!

Zhuang Wuxian's head exploded!

And that pale, cold figure had already disappeared in a flash, appearing at the end of the alley in an instant.

She bent down and gently held the child in the pool of blood in her arms.

"Zhi, don't be afraid."

"Mother is here, always here."
