Rebirth of the Strongest Empress
chapter-81

The reason why Ye Qingtang went through such great lengths to put up a show tonight was that she had taken consideration of everything.

Moreover, after Ye You went to Yunxiao Sect in her previous life, she did not return to the Ye residence for several years and simply would not be able to know whether the Great Elder was still alive or not in a short period of time.

And these few years were enough for Ye Qingtang to become more powerful.

“You!!” The Great Elder glared at Ye Qingtang in disbelief. Never had he thought that he would be defeated by an ignorant little girl.

“Great Elder, he who is unjust is doomed to death. Take care.” Ye Qingtang was simply too lazy to say anything more to the Great Elder. With a drawing of her sword, she slashed the Great Elder’s neck.

Until death, the Great Elder could not believe that all his plans would end up in this state. When he finally took his last breath, the Second Elder threw the Great Elder’s corpse on the floor with a blank expression.

Watching the Great Elder die in front of her, Ye Qingtang did not feel anything at all.

In this life, she needed to protect the people around her and not let tragedy repeat itself.

Although the Great Elder was dead, this news was to be hidden from the public; thus, Ye Ling and the Second Elder had to get rid of the corpse without any traces.

“Father, you and second uncle will settle the Great Elder’s incident. I still need to make a trip to Lord Mu Su’s,” Ye Qingtang said.

Ye Ling nodded, and emotions overran him as he looked at his daughter before him.

He always felt that his daughter had matured a lot in this period of time.

“Now that you’re all grown up and have your own way of doing things, I am very heartened. I only hope that you’ll be safe. When you meet Lord Mu Su, you must be more courteous,” Ye Ling said.

“Yes.” Ye Qingtang nodded.

Ye Ling smiled in gratification, but his gaze uncontrollably landed on the little fellow beside Ye Qingtang.

“This is…”

Ye Qingtang rubbed her temples slightly and recounted the incident where she went to search for the lightning dragon egg.

Ye Ling and the Second Elder had never seen any dragon species before and did not know anything about the dragon clan, much less about a dragon turning into a human.

Listening to Ye Qingtang’s conversation with Ye Ling and the Second Elder, the little fellow who was previously brimming with energy had an increasingly poor complexion as time passed.

The little lightning dragon’s body was simply unable to support him for too long. If he doesn’t withdraw its conscious, the little lightning dragon would probably die.

“Mother… I… I want to rest, can I?” the little fellow tugged on Ye Qingtang’s sleeves and looked at her, unable to bear leaving her.

Ye Qingtang nodded without understanding what the little fellow really meant.

The little guy rested in Ye Qingtang’s arms and wriggled lingeringly with its big, bright eyes full of reluctance.

“Mother… do you like me?” Its soft and weak voice was ladened with much anxiety.

Seeing as to how the little fellow was so clingy towards Ye Qingtang, Ye Ling and the Second Elder were relieved. Based on the little fellow’s toughness and violence as seen just now, they would be more at ease with him by Ye Qingtang’s side.

Ye Qingtang did not know whether to laugh or cry. She really did not understand why that little fellow would cling on to her like this. However, she still nodded her head.

“Yes.”

In that instant, the little fellow smiled.

A simple word made his heart bloom in joy with extreme satisfaction.

“Mother, I like you the most~”

He needed to become mother’s real child as soon as possible!

The moment the little fellow finished speaking, he turned into a ball of light, and when the light faded, the cute and sweet little fellow disappeared. What remained was a tiny dragon which was covered in blue-black scales, curled up in Ye Qingtang’s arms.
