Venerated Venomous Consort
chapter-2228

Cold sweat slowly broke out from his forehead and traced the skin of his soft, supple cheeks all the way down to his jaw. He did not care to wipe the droplets away. He sat quietly in the woods, conveying a sense of desolation.

…

In a faraway land of another world, there was a high mountain. There was a huge, snowy white stone with a smooth and clear surface. Within sight, there was a landscape of hills and waters. There were some people there, too.

Shen Jiuli and Ning Xuemo stood before the stone and watched everything that happened on the other side of the world. There was no audio for them, so it was just like a silent movie. They found out the function of the stone by accident. With a few drops of their blood and some specific spells, they could see what their closest relation was doing.

The only closest relation they had was their son, Shen Nianmo. He was also referred to as Di Fuyi. They had been watching the scenario for more than two hours. They saw their son searching for the lady frantically in the woods. With a sudden inspiration, he found a way to track her path.

The couple also saw everything that happened later. Ning Xuemo’s expression was gloomy. As a mother, she was not able to tolerate her son’s mistreatment. Her heart ached terribly for him.

“This is terrible!” She clenched her fists in frustration. “How could she be so ungrateful? Everything that Nianmo has done is for her benefit, but the way she reacted was terribly hurtful.”

Calmly, Shen Jiuli kept his composure. “The child has wronged her. Don’t you think that the lady deserves to be angry?” He sighed.

Hesitantly, Ning Xuemo continued, “She surely should be angry, but she should not have said those hurtful things to Nianmo. He is still young. He is not ready for this heavy blow.”

She tried to conceal the shortcomings of her child. Shen Jiuli did not want to comment on her misjudgment. Instead, he pulled her closer at her waist and said, “Xuemo, Nianmo is no longer a child. As a man, these are catastrophes that he is meant to go through. The lady is one of the many challenges that he has to face.”

“Catastrophe?” Ning Xuemo panicked. “What kind of catastrophe? What kind of catastrophe has the heavenly law designed for him this time? His childhood has been catastrophic enough.”

Ning Xuemo seemed to have some serious grudge against the heavenly law, as both Shen Jiuli and her were deeply affected by the heavenly arrangements. With a cough, he looked at his son in the image of the mirror. The child was bearing the consequences of his own doings.

Even as the most respectable master of the heavenly law, he would still have to suffer the same consequences a result of forcibly changing fate. However, it was good for him to understand the implications of his action. When he finally became the master of the heavenly law, he would be mature enough not to abuse the laws.

Shen Jiuli made a mental note to himself- when the child finally regained his power, he would sit down and have a good chat with him to talk about his experiences. Also, he would like to tease him for what he had been through. Amused at the thought, Shen Jiuli could not help but let out a satisfactory smile.

“How can you laugh after seeing what your son has been through?” Ning Xuemo questioned him.

The smile immediately disappeared and was replaced by the same level of grudge that Ning Xuemo shared. “Xuemo, you are right. The heavenly law is indeed ridiculous.”

There was an abrupt change in Ning Xuemo’s expression. She held onto his sleeves, anxiously, and asked, “Have you foreseen anything? Is Nianmo going through a major catastrophe? Will his life be at stake? Will his soul be shattered?”

Shen Jiuli shook his head. “Don’t worry. It will not be serious.”

Ning Xuemo was instantly relieved, but still in doubt. “Haven’t you mentioned before that Nianmo’s fate is too complicated to be foretold?”
