The trembling grew stronger, and the entire street was in chaos.
“What’s happening?”
“Is it an earthquake? Run!”
“It’s the Temple of the Flower God! The Flower God’s temple is moving!”
“No, it’s the god that’s moving!”
A little girl stared in the direction of the temple. “Father...”
The man grabbed the girl’s arm, and she smiled gently. Suddenly, a hand with a hole in it appeared on her arm, reaching toward the man’s lower body.
The piercing scream went unnoticed in the panic-stricken crowd.
Two children held hands and quickly ran towards the temple of the Flower God.
Along their path, people on the ground were prostrating themselves in the direction of the temple. They were excited and fearful, repeatedly knocking their heads against the ground.
“The Flower God is revealing divine power!”
“Forgive us, Flower God!”
“May the Flower God bless us!”
In front of the Flower God’s temple, even more people were kneeling, all bowing down, not daring to lift their heads to glance at the god’s statue. They didn’t even notice the two children rushing to the front.
The two children stopped in front of the temple, staring at the god’s statue.
After the god’s statue stopped trembling, it slowly turned around. It’s originally sideways-facing head now faced the tens of thousands of worshippers.
Clearly, the crimson glow at the corner of its eye was flowing.
Faster and faster.
It opened its chaotic eyes slowly and suddenly, emitting divine light from afar.
The god’s statue continued to rotate without ceasing, half-facing outside the temple, eternally focused in one direction, giving all of its light to that place.
The temple of the Flower God was in chaos.
Flower attendants fell off their beds, and the sounds of pain and moans echoed, with colorless veins bursting one after another.
The people in white robes had never seen such a situation. They were confused for a moment until they received the cold command from the Holy Maiden to help the flower attendants.
Ning Changfeng felt the vibration.
At the moment he placed the four petaled blood flower into Ning Su’s heart.
The other’s heart pounded violently, and the veins bulged upward.
The Flower God’s temple trembled, people outside were shouting, and his blood surged.
It was as if he had lost all senses, couldn’t feel, couldn’t hear, only knew that he was rapidly stitching the wounds with blood-soaked hands.
When the trembling of the Flower God’s temple subsided, he stopped his hands.
He raised his hands and stared blankly at the blood on them. Where the blood had flowed, the skin underneath began to heat up, and the veins below trembled, including his heart.
He didn’t know when he walked out of the room.
By this time, the Flower God’s temple had already stabilized, and the Holy Maiden had just come up from below.
She quickly implanted the sacred flower in Hua Feng to stabilize the situation when the tremor occurred. As soon as it was stabilized below, she came up to check on the other two flower attendants.
She looked at Ning Su.
Seeing Ning Changfeng leaning against the wall, looking at the blood on his hands with a blank expression, she stopped in front of him. Her thin lips lightly opened. “How does it feel to have your son’s blood on your hands?”
Ning Changfeng shivered all over, turned his head stiffly to look at her, and forced a smile. “What are you talking about?”
“He, Ning Su, is your son,” the Holy Maiden said calmly, as if she was in a very good mood.
She saw on Ning Changfeng’s face, with his superior features, an expression of impending collapse. He breathed in tremors, even swearing, “I haven’t even slept with a woman. Where did the son come from?!”
The Holy Maiden just smiled, “You believe it, though.”
“Can you recall it now? Can you feel it? Inheriting the bloodline of the ancient Serpent God, you should be very sensitive to blood, right? It’s impossible not to feel it.”
Ning Changfeng’s blood flowed more vigorously, as if it was burning.
The Holy Maiden, Yun Danfeng, struck him again, “Even Ning Su knows, you couldn’t have not known.”
Ning Changfeng shook his head. “How could he possibly know? It’s impossible.”
“Before you went in, I confirmed this matter when I went in.” The Holy Maiden smiled and said, “He knew you were his father the moment he saw you.”
Before Ning Changfeng entered the room, the Holy Maiden went in to check.
=====
She checked the part of the flower that would be transplanted and made sure it’s not active before asking Ning Su, “Do you know why I said at the auction that your partner was not Zhu Shuangshuang but Ning Changfeng?”
Since she asked so directly, Ning Su answered directly, “Because you knew he and I are father and son.”
The Holy Maiden was surprised, “You knew?”
The young man’s long eyelashes were half-closed. “I knew the moment I saw him. I can say that even before I saw him, just by seeing his name, I had guessed.”
He wasn’t such a supernatural being that he knew Ning Changfeng was his father with a snap of his fingers.
He knew that President Shi was his mother first.
He sensed it when they first met.
President Shi would never think of herself as a mother to someone a few years younger than her, but he would because he was aware of the problem with the flow of time.
He realized that something was wrong with the flow of time during the bus ride before they first arrived at the game base.
There was a well-known superstar, Fang Enke, on that bus.
He knew all the city locations the people on the bus mentioned, but he didn’t know Fang Enke.
There were no celebrities after the zombie apocalypse.
Before the apocalypse, Ning Su didn’t have many friends, and when he ate alone, he would watch variety shows, binge-watch dramas, and browse social media.
If there had been a randomly well-known superstar on a bus at that time, he wouldn’t have known.
But he faintly felt that the other was somewhat familiar.
Ning Su’s memory was not bad. Looking at Fang Enke’s appearance, he thought for a long time, suddenly recalling where he had seen the other.
In a mixed-style video at a small shabby station.
The video was vaguely titled ‘Finally Understand Why Mom Doesn’t Like Current Celebrities Anymore—The Men Who Shone in that Era.’
With this realization, and then seeing President Shi in the instance of ‘Manman,’ he gradually confirmed it.
Gui Sheng saw President Shi for the first time and chased after her, probably sensing something.
If President Shi, who had a touch of arrogance in her bones and had a high rank in the base, was his mother, then who was his father?
How many men in the entire base could catch her eye?
And he saw Ning Changfeng’s name.
Ning Su was surnamed Ning, Ning Chanfeng’s ‘Ning’.
The answer was obvious.
That afternoon, a huge wave surged in the base, and a charming man with wet hair lay on the bridge and called him ‘brother’. At that moment, he confirmed.
It turned out, his eyes looked like his mother’s, and his nose resembled his father’s.
That’s what he thought when he looked at him back then.
The Holy Maiden smiled and said, “So you knew he was your father a long time ago. Hasn’t your father ever held you or at least touched your head when you were a child? Isn’t that something every father does?”
“Is it too intimate to touch your heart for a first contact?”
Ning Su blinked but didn’t speak.
=====
The Holy Maiden turned to Ning Changfeng and said, “I asked him if he had ever been held by his father or had his head touched when he was this big, and he couldn’t answer me.”
Ning Changfeng could hardly catch his breath.
His bewildered mind kept replaying the young man’s gaze and his words.
“Brother, do I look good?”
“Which part of my features is the best?”
When he was asked this way, he measured the young man once again, feeling an inexplicable familiarity with him. Without answering, the young man said, “I think my eyes are the best.”
The other also said, “If you wear a mask and cover the lower half of your face, it will be better.”
T/N: The big reveale is finally here! Yes, Ning Changfeng is the father and Shi Tianzhu is the mother of our adorable salted fish. ^^
I had this theory when Ning Changfeng first appeared but I was not sure because Shi Tianzhu was younger than Ning Su, now it is confirmed and there's actually a problem with the time🤔 I wonder what happened for the two to have a relationship and have Ning Su
ReplyDeleteThe holy maiden does not have a hint of saint clearly everything she did to them is malevolent 💔
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update 🤗 🤗
IM EXPLOSING OMYGOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
ReplyDeleteMy bad for thinking ML is Ning Changfeng. But how skewed the timeline in this infinite world?
ReplyDeleteI slapped myself hard for thinking NC was the ML first then slap again when I read this chapter AHHHHHH such revelation. And I always thought that ST and NS were siblings 🫠omgggg who would have thought that ST and NC was a pair of husband and wife??? Definitely not me. I just know their was an enmity between them but not this kind of situation omg!!! I am loving this novel so farrr!!!!!
ReplyDelete*****there was an enmity....
DeleteMaybe those two did it in one of the dungeon and Mother Shi gave birth to Ning Su inside the dungeon and that's why he grew up inside while he's parents returned outside, that maybe explain the difference in timeline.
ReplyDelete*I din't think the top ranker and seconder ranker are lovey-dovey since Mother Shi holds great grudge against father Ning
ohhhhh that's a great theory.
DeleteWhat a wild twist, I feel as if the author is gathering the most absurd family for the protagonist. Not only did he learn that he had a fully grown son out of nowhere, he's aware that this big son of his has adopted two young children who can summon armies.
ReplyDeleteI did guess that all 3 of them were related, but I thought boss shi and susu were siblings... also, I did think the timeline was skewed or at least susu was from a parallel world because everyone else seemed to be from pre apocalyptic times while he was someone from the apocalypse. At first I thought susu and brother ning were related as well but after hearing that he had snake bloodline I striked that out... now the only question is, how did they have susu? boss shi has been in the system since she was 10!
ReplyDeleteThis chapter made my emotions go up and down like a roller coaster, it was a plot twist that I didn't expect. But I like this novel more and more.
