The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 17 — Yama Mountains (11)
They returned to the cave they had previously lived in.
“There is still time before the Winged Yellow Tiger gives birth.” Lian Haocun.
Lian Huanran nodded in understanding. Then the two of them entered the Cave and immediately headed to where the Winged Yellow Tiger was.
The Winged Yellow Tiger lying at the very depths of the Cave detected the arrival of Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran and instantly greeted the two of them, a sad glint flashed in the eyes of the Winged Yellow Tiger for a bit before disappearing.
Lian Haocun did not mince words at all and directly asked the Winged Yellow Tiger, “Why should we be present when you give birth?”
The Winged Yellow Tiger sighed sadly, “Can you take care of my children?”
Lian Huanran who had already started to familiarize himself with the rare Winged Yellow Tiger, ventured to ask before Lian Haocun could ask,
“Why would you give it to us? Don't you want to be with your son?”
The Winged Yellow Tiger sighed again, “I'll do it. If I don't meet you guys.”
Then the Winged Yellow Tiger began to explain the reason.
The Yellow Winged Tiger is called Lexie. She ran away from her home while pregnant and her husband was murdered for the crime of treason. Lexie wants revenge against her race who ordered her husband's murder.
Lexie also suspects a conspiracy behind it all because it was in the midst of the succession to the Yellow Winged Tiger Chief where Lexie lived.
“But the main reason is not that. Because while I was on my way here, I met a mysterious cultivator. He said he could predict. He asked me to give my twins to two people who awakened the element before the age of 12.
Then he also said, ‘You can't follow your two children, because your two children will be happier with them both. This is the destiny of heaven. If you follow them disaster will happen constantly to your two children.’ I didn't believe him at first, but after meeting you (Lian Haocun), I couldn't help but believe it.
A sad tone could be detected in the words Winged Yellow Tiger, although Lian Haocun did not know and never felt the feeling between mother and child, Lian Haocun felt sympathy for the first time.
While Lian Huanran's eyes had reddened feeling moved even though Lian Huanran also did not know the mother figure in her life but now she has a positive picture of her mother, who is also a mother, ‘Maybe Mom and Dad left Brother and me because there was a problem.’
Lian Haocun breaks Lexie's grief, “I don't believe in destiny. You can follow us. We can also find out why your husband was murdered together.”
The sad Yellow Winged Tiger, shocked to hear Lian Haocun's bold words when the mysterious cultivator had already said the consequences, Lian Haocun continued, saying,
“If it is indeed fate though. It can still be changed. Then for the disaster that will befall your two children, I can't guarantee I can protect them, but it should be with the three of us, no, the four of us added Master, we will be able to protect your children.”
Lian Haocun's voice sounded cold and indifferent but the firmness and confidence in her sentence aroused Lexie's hope of being with her children. Lian Huanran also chimed in on Lian Haocun,
“Really! Destiny can still be changed!”
“You can also protect us while taking care of your children.” Lian Haocun said coldly, however he did not want to let Lexie follow him without gaining any advantage.
Lexie suppressed the hope growing in her heart and said in a mother's tone while stroking her stomach gently, "I don't want to risk it for them."
Lian Haocun already knew what decision Lexie would make, but she did not give up. After all he could get a bodyguard that was even stronger than his Master and could also keep his Master and Lian Huanran safe. So he provoked the female Winged Yellow Tiger,
"Do you believe the mysterious cultivator's words unconditionally?"
"Do you want me, for the sake of my selfish desires, my children are suffering!!??" Lexie shouted furiously. While Lian Haocun was shocked in his heart.
