Chapter 2389: Sibling Demon Seeds

“Alright, I still have a clear understanding of what Thunder Tower has done. Tang Ming, comfort Jiusheng.”

The Prophet’s tender voice rang out, yet it was not to be questioned.

Tang Ming let out a long sigh and held Hu Jiusheng’s hand: “Get up, Dad.”

Hu Jiusheng heard Tang Ming call him Dad and started crying. In his lifetime, he truly loved only two women. One was that Witch from the past, and the other was his daughter Hu Mei’er.

He originally thought that with Hu Mei’er by his side and her marriage to Tang Ming, his current life was fulfilling, and everything in the future would be beautiful.

But he never expected that the woman who broke his heart was setting him up all along.

The destruction of West Continent City back then was because of her, and now, it’s she who shattered his last defense.

Fox Bachang grabbed Hu Jiusheng’s hand: “Brother Jiu, you still have me, you still have me.”

Tang Ming let out a long sigh, and Hu Jiuze, who was standing aside and was already trembling with anger, came over.

She reached out and grabbed Fox Bachang, letting her wait aside.

As if thinking of something, Fox Bachang wanted to stop Hu Jiuze, but it was too late.

Slap slap slap.

Hu Jiuze slapped Hu Jiusheng several times. Hu Jiusheng looked up at Hu Jiuze, who was tremblingly pointing at herself, then said, “Ask yourself, have you been fair to me? To Fox Spirit Mountain Range? To Mei’er who passed away?”

Hu Jiusheng’s body trembled, he looked at Hu Jiuze: “I’m sorry, let me die, Sis, I will atone for my sins with my death.”

As he spoke, Hu Jiusheng was about to end his own life, but Hu Jiuze simply kicked him in the chest: “Spit, you think you’re worthy. You haven’t even left a seed for the Nine-tailed Fox, and you want to die? If you die, you would be ashamed of all our ancestors from the Fox Spirit Mountain. I’ve decided, tonight, you will be with Bachang. Hu Jiusheng, listen, from now on, you are atoning, your life no longer belongs to you, it belongs to me, and you must take responsibility for what you have become.”

Hu Jiuze said, and then she began to cry herself. So many years, how much pressure she had endured.

Back then, when Hu Jiusheng was deeply in love with the Witch, everyone opposed it, but she supported her brother, stood by his side.

But later, when West Continent City fell, the first person that woman targeted was herself.

Hu Jiuze’s body was destroyed, leaving only her soul, trapped inside a puppet that looked like a burly man for many years.

Does she not hate? How could that be, but seeing her brother and the Fox Spirit Mountain thriving, and Hu Mei’er and Tang Ming being such a good match, all that hatred was suppressed.

But today, it all burst forth, she wanted her brother to live, she wanted the Fox Spirit Mountain Range to continue, and all that hatred finally found a target, that woman wasn’t dead. One day, they would meet, and she would personally end that woman’s life.

“Sis.”

Hu Jiusheng thought back to when he was little, back then, the Fox Spirit Mountain Range was just beginning to flourish, he was young, his sister was older.

Their parents were very busy, dealing with enemies and guests every day.

And Hu Jiuze was in charge of taking care of and educating Hu Jiusheng.

Hu Jiusheng always felt that his parents treated Hu Jiuze better than they did him. Later, he heard Hu Jiuze say to him: “Of course, they have to treat me well. Because I have to treat my younger brother well.”

Big sister like a mother, to Hu Jiusheng, Hu Jiuze was both father and mother. Almost everything in Hu Jiusheng’s life was connected to Hu Jiuze.

He didn’t love cultivation, he liked formations, and Hu Jiuze indulged him because Hu Jiuze said it didn’t matter what Hu Jiusheng liked.

Even if the sky fell, this sister would help Hu Jiusheng bear it.

“Sis.”

Hu Jiusheng called out again, then the two of them embraced and cried bitterly.

Tang Ming patted Fox Bachang’s shoulder. Previously, when Hu Jiusheng said he wanted Fox Bachang to marry Hu Jiusheng, Fox Bachang’s body trembled incessantly.

Tang Ming took a deep breath, then slowly closed his eyes: “Aunt Ba, it’s best to delay your wedding a little while longer.”

“Mm, I understand.”

That woman appeared again and hurt Hu Jiusheng and Hu Jiuze’s hearts.

Hu Mei’er was a Demon Seed and had self-destructed, everything happened too suddenly, too unexpectedly.

Many people need some time to compose themselves and calm their minds.

Now is indeed not the right time for a wedding. Moreover, since Hu Jiuze said it, it’s believed that Hu Jiusheng won’t refuse this time.

After all, the direct line of the Fox Spirit Mountain Range needs to be inherited, and Hu Jiuze, being a Ghost Cultivator, has no way to pass on the bloodline.

The surrounding people dispersed, Tang Xishu came to Tang Ming’s side, she lowered her head: “If I had discovered it earlier, perhaps I could have retained sister-in-law’s memory.”

“Her memory was born from the Law left by me and her mother. She was never truly Hu Mei’er.”

Tang Ming’s voice was a bit cold. Previously, he didn’t have much aversion to the Abyss Demon.

The Nine-headed Goose Deer had told him about the reasons for the formation of the Abyss Demon. After all, if the Abyss Demon doesn’t invade other planes, what awaits them in the end is death.

But this time, Tang Ming felt a deep hatred, a hatred that perhaps should not exist in the eyes of the Demon Clan.

After all, the two sides are enemies; anything I do to you is just as it should be.

But previously, Tang Ming didn’t harbor such animosity towards the Abyss Demon, yet this time, he genuinely hated them.

With Hu Mei’er’s issue, Tang Ming’s previous residence needed to be reinvestigated and reexamined to see if it had any connections to the Demons of the Demon Abyss.

And Tang Ming took residence in an apartment building next to the City Lord Mansion.

The apartment buildings are standard two-bedroom, one living room layouts, only the newly built ones have varying sizes, provided to residents wanting to purchase, and to newly arriving residents for use.

“City Lord Tang Ming, I’m here to have a few drinks with you.”

Zhou Mo came in holding a wine jug. He was very worried about Tang Ming, so he had Sun Mei prepare some wine and dishes, and directly came over to have a frank chat with Tang Ming.

Tang Ming nodded: “Let’s drink. I’ve been thinking today, and I feel that merely following my previous stipulations is too utilitarian; a lot of things must begin with people.”

“What do you mean?”

Zhou Mo was startled and looked at Tang Ming, somewhat surprised.

Tang Ming took out a Jade Scroll and quickly recorded his thoughts into it: “Take a look. This is the residency policy I thought of. I think you can talk with Fox Bachang. She has the talent to discern whether people are lying.”
