Chapter 131 Wangchao's Background
Chapter 131 Wangchao's Background
According to legend, the coast of the North Sea was once ruled by the Sea God, who lived on land and sea and was amphibious.
Later, the sea god married a girl and had a child. Unfortunately, the child died in the womb before the third month. The girl was heartbroken, but she could do nothing about it.
Later, no one knew what the sea god did, but the child miraculously came back to life.
On the day the child was born, the city was filled with black air, and the infected tribesmen could not control themselves, either cutting themselves with knives or killing each other. The whole city was like purgatory.
Seeing the black gas gradually moving toward the sea, the sea god decided to sacrifice himself in order to protect the people on land. Inspired by the sea god, the tribesmen temporarily regained their sanity and chose to follow their king.
Finally, the Sea God clan used all their strength to suppress the source of the black energy.
Xiuzhu heard this from a friend. He always thought it was just a legend, but judging from the current situation, it may not be completely untrue.
Hua Miaomiao looked at Wangchao with some sympathy. If what Xiuzhu said was true, it meant that Wangchao's father was no longer around.
Wangchao felt uncomfortable being looked at by her. After listening to Xiuzhu's story, he didn't feel it was real.
"Don't look at me like that. I got used to being without a father and a mother a long time ago. If he really did something that destroyed the entire family just for me, I would rather not have such a father."
The seaweed on the giant clam suddenly began to sway wildly, and a pair of eyes slowly emerged from the lush seaweed.
Wangchao was frightened by this and struggled screaming.
"Oh my god! What is this? Is the seaweed a spirit? Go away! Stay away from me!"
"Look at the tide!" Yu Yao tried to go forward to rescue, but was whipped far away by the seaweed.
"How can this be possible!" Hua Miaomiao shouted angrily, "This is intolerable! Destroy it."
Several people attacked together, but the seaweed was soft and flowing, and the eyes disappeared again. All kinds of attacks seemed to fall on cotton, without any effect.
"Damn it! If you were on the shore, I would burn you to death!"
Hua Miaomiao's angry words seemed to have given the Imperial Master some inspiration. He changed his target and created two balls of blue fire in the water with his bare hands, hitting the clam shells with both of them.
Wangchao jumped and dodged to the side, shouting, "Boss, it's hot! Grilled octopus doesn't taste good."
"Shut up!"
The water plants caught fire and spread rapidly. Soon, a woman in white with a haggard face and disheveled hair appeared in front of everyone.
With a distorted face, she approached Wangchao little by little. Her body movements were extremely soft and flexible, like a human-shaped water plant, and her eyes were shining with a warm light.
Wang Chao came face to face with her, his face full of resistance, but his body could not move away. He could only look to the imperial teacher beside him for help.
The woman in white seemed to sense his disgust and began to sob. Her sobs sounded even more subtle and strange in the quiet water.
The giant clam emitted a soft light, and the woman seemed to be comforted. She gradually calmed down and lay on the clam shell.
Everyone was at a loss for a moment. Should they fight or not? Should they go or stay?
“Boss, boss…” Wang Chao called softly, afraid of disturbing the woman in white.
As soon as the Imperial Master took a step forward, the woman in white sat up and didn't let anyone get close. Only when the Imperial Master stepped back did she continue to lie down and rub the clam shell affectionately.
Hua Miaomiao suddenly had a strange guess, "If the sea god is in the giant clam, then this woman couldn't be his wife, right?"
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Wang Chao. It was true that there was a weird atmosphere surrounding this family of three.
Wang Chao was unwilling to admit Hua Miaomiao's thoughts from the bottom of his heart. Looking at the woman in white who was moving towards him little by little, with her twisted face and silly smile, Wang Chao had only one thought: to escape.
"Child..." The woman stretched out her hand cautiously, wanting to touch Wangchao, but was afraid that he would despise her, so she could only hang in the air, calling out again and again. The kindness in her eyes did not seem fake, and even the people beside her were touched by her.
Wang Chao's defenses were melted by the affectionate calls, and his eyes couldn't help but become moist.
"Are you really my mother?"
The word "mother" was like a switch, and the woman in white suddenly radiated golden light. In the light and shadow, her appearance gradually changed. Her eyebrows were like crescent moons, her eyes were bright, her lips were red, and her body was swaying.
"She's so beautiful, worthy of being the woman chosen by the Sea God." Hua Miaomiao praised sincerely.
The woman heard her compliment, smiled and turned her head away, "Thank you, you are cute too."
Hua Miaomiao looked at her in disbelief. Is she awake?
The woman in white nodded slightly to the few people, then turned her gaze back to Wang Chao.
"My child, I don't have much time left. I know you have resentment towards us. But I hope you understand that your father is a great god, and he has never done anything to harm the people of the world."
"Really? What about the people in that city? What about the countless undead insects?"
"That rumor is wrong. It's all my fault."
Wangchao did not agree with her words. She was just a mortal woman. Even if she was blessed by the sea god, what great things could she accomplish?
The woman saw his disbelief and didn't care about his thoughts. She just continued, "It's not easy for a human to marry a god, let alone have a child. But I wanted to leave something to accompany him. When I heard that the baby was stillborn, I didn't care about anything else and entered the temple. I am the wife of the sea god, and the clam king is not on guard against me. I took the opportunity to snatch its elixir."
At this point, she couldn't help but cover her face and sob. She must have felt very guilty.
Wang Chao couldn't bear it. He wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know where to start. He could only clumsily put his hand on the woman's hand.
The woman happily held his hand back. After calming herself down, she continued, "When your father arrived, I had already swallowed the pill. If he had taken it back, you and I would have lost our lives. He couldn't bear it, so he just told me to reflect on my mistakes behind closed doors and take care of the baby."
"At that time, I didn't know that the Clam King was the core of the formation that suppressed the black energy on the seabed. I was even angry at him for being so petty and not cherishing us."
"It was not until the day of your full moon that the black energy spread to the entire city. I realized that he had been using his divine power to suppress the black energy these days. But the black energy still overflowed when he was tired."
"I will never forget the tragedy of that day. Because of my momentary selfishness, I destroyed the entire city. But why didn't he tell me? If I knew, I would rather die. Why didn't he tell me anything? I even blame him. I..."
She could no longer restrain herself and threw herself into Wangchao's arms, crying bitterly, like a child, complaining about her grievances. The giant clam beneath her seemed to sense something and was also trembling slightly.
"What about him?"
"In order to suppress the evil spirit, your father burned all his cultivation and merged himself into the clam king. He sank the entire city to the bottom of the sea to prevent it from endangering mortals. He used his last bit of strength to send my son and me away, but how could I leave him behind?"
She gently stroked the giant clam beneath her, her actions full of affection.
"I am an unfit mother. I abandoned you the moment you were born. Child, do you blame me?"
Resentment? Wang Chao didn't know. He was confused. He could accept being abandoned, and even accept his parents' death, but he couldn't accept that his parents lived such a miserable life because of him. And what about the people outside? What was wrong with them?
It seemed that his birth was a mistake from the very beginning.
The woman held Wangchao's face in her hands, her eyes full of reluctance.
"Let mother take another good look at you."
Her words gave Wangchao a bad feeling. He tried to grab her, but found that his hand was empty. He repeated this several times, and he looked at his hand in disbelief.
"Silly child, I was originally dead. But I stayed here because of my obsession. Now that I have seen you, my wish has come true and I have no regrets."
"No! You can't let me lose my mother just when I had one. You abandoned me after giving birth to me. You never raised me for a single day. How can you walk away with such a clear conscience! You haven't even cooked for me or sewed clothes for me. You..."
He was already incoherent and didn't know what he was saying.
"Grieve, grudge. As the saying goes, there can be no father and son without grudge. Maybe in the next life, we will..."
Her words suddenly stopped and she disappeared in front of everyone. Only the tear in Wangchao's hand could prove that she had ever existed.
"mother!"
