Capítulo 31: Ch. 31 - Never Heard of Him
While Xiao Huoyan had engaged in a battle of words together with Jin Niao outside of the mystical orb, Tian Mei and Tian Xin were still inside of it.
"How could you let him go out there alone?! What if he--…"
"--Did you really think that he would let us go with him simply because we want to?"
"No, but--"
"--We will wait for him--"
"--For how long are we supposed to wait?! What if he dies out there?!"
"He will not die! Do not say such things!"
"W-we… We will wait for him for a little while longer, then we will go out…"
"... No! I can go, but you will stay here where it is safe!"
"But mother!"
"Enough! It is decided! You will stay here whether you want to or not!"
After Tian Mei had said that, she threw away her daughter's orb into the forest. She knew that Tian Xin would be able to find it after some time, but by then, hopefully the fight with the Jin Clan would already be over.
Tian Xin just stood there silently. She did not go after it, nor did she complain to her mother about what she had done. She just stood there in silence.
"I am sorry, sweetie…"
After Tian Mei said that, she crushed the orb she had gotten from Xiao Huoyan.
Tian Xin did not even look up. She knew that her mother had left.
-
"You!"
Hearing that Xiao Huoyan was the reason behind his spirit essence's instability, Jin Niao almost coughed up blood. That is how infuriated he was.
Suddenly, a bright white light began to shine. Tian Mei had arrived. She quickly stepped out of her house and began to look for Xiao Huoyan.
She could not shout, since she did not want to expose her son's real name.
After a while of thinking, she came up with an idea. She decided to shout another name. When Xiao Huoyan heard her, he would know it was her. Then he would come and find her. She was almost certain that it would work, so she began to shout.
"TIAN YAN!! TIAN YAN!!"
While she was shouting, Jin Niao had already told someone to go and investigate the strange light.
Xiao Huoyan already knew that Tian Mei had arrived back home. He also knew that Tian Xin was not with her.
He had given Tian Mei the orb which would release the white light, while Tian Xin had received the orb which would release the golden light.
He swore in his heart that if anyone dared to lay a finger on his dear mother, he would make sure that everyone present would go down with her!
After a few minutes, the man whom Jin Niao had order to go and investigate the bright white light, came running back.
"Speak! Who released the white light?!"
Jin Niao was very eager to know who it was. He was afraid that his enemy had found an expert to help him.
"All that I could find was a woman. She is currently walking around the village while trying to find her son."
"Did she tell you that?"
"N-no, but she told me her name was Tian Mei, and she was shouting the name 'Tian Yan', so I just assumed it was her son."
"You asked for her name?!"
"Yes-- I-I mean n-no sir!"
"TRASH!!"
Right after yelling, Jin Niao clenched his fist, and the man before him turned into a mist of crimson blood.
"So… I suppose she is an acquaintance of yours", Jin Niao said while smiling.
"I do not know that woman."
"Then who is this so called 'Tian Yan'?"
"Tian Yan? Never heard of him!
"As if I would believe you!"
Xiao Huoyan refused to admit it. He knew that if he did, his dear mother would be in danger.
"Oh, then I assume it is fine if I kill her?"
Right after he said that, he snapped his fingers, and someone went in the direction of where the white light, along with Tian Mei, had appeared from.
"If you dare to hurt her, I will--!"
"--Oh. So, she really is someone important to you, eh?"
"Since you already know it, I advice you to leave her be and fight me instead."
"I do not believe that you will let us go even if we do not kill her."
"It is never to late for revenge. As long as I am alive, I will get my chance again. Leave her be and I will let you leave today."
"Hmph! Do you think I am stupid?!"
"In fact, I do."
"You!"
"Are you going to leave her be, or do I have to bury all of you here today?"
"H-how long do we have to decide?", an unknown person from Jin Niao's army asked in fear.
"I am feel generous today, so I will not set a time limit. Instead, I will just kill you one by one until you decide. One person a minute, so you better decide fast, hehe."
As soon as Xiao Huoyan had finished his sentence, the man whom had just spoke, exploded and turned into a mist of blood.
"You dare?!"
"Yeah, you bet I do."
"I will kill you!"
Jin Niao was furious.
"Try."
Once again, a body exploded. This time it was the person closest to Jin Niao.
"Stop it, you bastard!"
"My name is Xiao Huoyan, not 'you bastard'."
And so, another body exploded… again.
"Wait!"
A man came rushing towards Jin Niao. It was the same man that went after Tian Mei earlier.
The man held Tian Mei in his arms. She was unconscious.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?!?!?!"
Xiao Huoyan was on the verge of losing control of himself. If he did not calm down, soon he would soon lose control and kill everyone.
"I--"
"No need to explain yourself to him."
"Let her go NOW!"
"Hmph! As if!"
"You! What do you want?!"
"Your life in exchange for hers. A fair deal is it not?"
"I…"
Xiao Huoyan suddenly appeared before Jin Niao.
"H-how did you?!"
Jin Niao was dumbstruck. He had thought that Xiao Huoyan had been hiding until now, but in fact he had been right in front of him the entire time.
