A boy knelt in front of a large painting of a lady, a sword piercing through his chest. His hands were bound with Mana ropes. Two women stood nearby, a mixture of fear and pride on their faces. They were proud because they had captured a powerful demon, yet afraid because he was a demon.
Rong want to show her power on that tied lion. Ching held Rong's hand with concern. "Don't go near him, he's a peak king-level cultivator."
"But sister, he came with his mother. If he is this strong, then his mother…" Rong's voice trailed off in terror as she realised her sister concern about this beast.
"Don't worry, sister. This dungeon is covered with heavenly treasures. She can't come inside," Ching reassured her. Then, she pointed her sword at a male servant. "You sitbag, remove his mask."
"No, ma'am, please. I can't do this. He'll eat me alive. He's a demon," the servant's legs were wobbling with fear.
"If he doesn't eat you, I will definitely kill your whole family. Now go and remove his mask," she threatened him in a dominating voice.
With fear coursing through his body, the servant moved towards Xiao, his whole body shivering. He removed the mask with trembling hands.
As Xiao's face was uncovered, his eyes locked on his mother's portrait. A tear fell from his eye, mixing with the blood flowing from his chest.
"Seventh Prince Xiao, why did you come here?" Li Ching cried in shock as she saw that face.
"The emperor will kill us all... it is not right... it is not right…"She became anxious.
"Remove those ropes! Someone call a physician! No, don't call a physician. We can't tell anyone about the Seventh Prince."
"Rong, did anyone see his face on the way here?" she asked Rong.
Tears streamed down Ching's face as she moved towards the kneeling Xiao and kneel in front of him she hold her face with soft hands. "Why did you come here, brother? The emperor will kill us all."
Xiao, understanding the gravity of his situation, smiled faintly. A tear fell from his cheek as he whispered painfully, "Brother…Hahh"warm air left his mouth.
"Aaaa…"
With all his remaining strength, he pulled the sword from his chest and tossed it aside. Already having lost a lot of blood, he collapsed on her sister blossom, whispering one last word, "Mother…"
He fell into a coma for six months.
When he woke up, his chest still pained. He found himself lying on a round platform, floating in green healing fluid. Maids were continuously changing the fluid. As those maid swa his open eyes, a wave of happiness spread among the maids. One of them ran to inform her mistress, screaming,
"Mistress, young master woke up!
Mistress, young master woke up!"
Thsi resonating in whole palace falling into every women ears those working in different rooms.
After some time, the Li sisters and Ash arrived. The last six months had been difficult for them. When they got the news about Xiao waking from his coma, their emotions erupted; they felt as if they were flying in the heavens.the moved towards his chamber as fast as they can.
Li Ching sat beside Xiao. He didn't have the energy to lift himself, so Ching gently lifted his head and set it on her thighs, stroking his hair with love. As she looked at him, tears filled her eyes.
"Why did you come here, brother? And why did you hide yourself? You know I was terrified when that sword pierced through your chest. I want kill my self every day after knowing that these hands harmed last hope of Li family" she cried, speaking continuously.
"Aaa, it stings... aaa," Xiao tried to speak as he got strength he said something strange which she didn't expected
"I wanted to capture you."
She was surprised. But she know that there should be some reason"Why, brother?"
"Because you are the last piece of the puzzle needed to control the southern part of the empire," Xiao said with slow, painful grunts.
"Are you thinking about overthrowing the empire?" ching asked with concern.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you about my plan later. First, you tell me how you are related to my mother. I know my father told me that everyone in my mother's family was killed in a war and she was from some infamous tribe" Xiao held her hand, a need for answers in his eyes.
"Not everyone, brother! You don't know the emperor completely; he is a cunning fox."
"Did he tell you about your mother's past?"
"No. Whenever I tried to ask him, he always avoided the topic or said, 'What will you do knowing about dead people?'" Xiao replied.
"Brother, your mother was my aunt. She was not a common lady; she was a cultivator with sage potential. Everyone wanted to take her into their sect, but your mother wanted to expand the Li family business. Our Li family was a small third-grade family in this district, but your mother worked day and night to build this business."
"You mean this brothel chain was built by my mom?"
"Yes, brother. She was a true businesswoman. One day, while returning from a business trip, she found an unconscious man. Not an ordinary man, but a big cultivator from the upper realm from the sky. Your mother took him home and healed him. Later, they cultivated together, learning many things from each other over the years, and fell in love. Eventually, news of your mother's potential and her relationship with an upper realm cultivator spread across the empire. Even the emperor became scared and saw him as the number one threat to the empire. However, he didn't have the courage to fight against this strong man, so he waited for his opportunity. And his time came." She took a deep breath.
"My mother told me that on a dark night, a group of five men broke into our palace. They were all from the upper realm. They came to take your real father. Your father knew that if he fought with them, they would destroy the entire empire, so he accepted their command and left with them. Before leaving, he left some heavenly treasures for the Li family. But before we could do anything and used those treasure, that same night, the imperial army came and captured our entire family, killing every man, r*peing woman, they not even show mercy to childs. The emperor didn't want to leave any descendants of that strong cultivator." She wiped the tears from her face.
Xiao's eyes were blood-red.He clenched his first his whole body was heating as lava.
"My mother and aunt were in those dungeons, but somehow, the emperor managed to break out and tried to kill my mother. However,aunt saved her. At that time, your mother couldn't fight against the entire army. To save my mother, she gave herself up to the emperor."
Xiao asked, "Are you saying my real father was that strong man from the sky?"
"Yes. My mother told me that she got pregnant together with her sister."
"What?" Xiao was stunned.
Her face turned red. "Yes, brother! You know strong men take all women."
