Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

Chapter 350 Tian Yanyan

"What did you say your name was?"

Miao Kaijie asked with a smile.

Although Miao Kaijie seemed to be the same as before, Lan Huaiqing still heard something strange and stared at him.

Miao Kaijie ignored him, smiling softly, his eyes slightly curved as he looked at the disheveled girl in front of him: "Miss?"

"I, I said my name is Tian Yanyan."

The girl's breathing was still a little rapid, there was a bloody mark on her left shoulder, and her hair was messy. It was obvious that she had just been through a fierce battle.

Tian Yanyan looked at the two people who suddenly appeared in front of her in surprise and doubt. She didn't even feel their breath before they appeared!

...Upward level?

Tian Yanyan took a half step back and wanted to turn around and run, but then she thought again. These two people were not injured at all. If they didn't want to give in, it would be a piece of cake for them to catch her.

So Tian Yanyan didn't act rashly, but only looked at the two of them with her vigilant eyes. The man on the left had a stern expression and only glanced at her lightly, obviously not interested; the man on the right -

--Eh?

Tian Yanyan was caught off guard and almost bumped into the boy's face. In panic, she took a few steps back, stumbled, and almost fell from a high place.

This is halfway up the mountain. The mountain has not been developed at all and you will roll down if you are not careful.

"What's your name?" The boy smiled brightly at her, and seemed to have a good impression of her.

Tian Yanyan couldn't see any ill intention in his tone, and after hearing such an obvious gesture of goodwill, she felt relieved.

This guy should be easy to fool.

"My name is Tian Yanyan." Tian Yanyan thought that if she told him her identity, the problem would be solved. "Do you know Liu Huangli?"

"Hmm?" The boy tilted his head, a puzzled look on his face. "I don't know."

Tian Yanyan choked, having never expected such an answer.

"But... you look familiar." The boy touched his chin and leaned closer. Tian Yanyan looked at the boy's increasingly enlarged face and gradually felt a little disgusted.

He wasn't taking advantage of her, was he?

It wasn't that Tian Yanyan was confident. She had been doted on by her family since she was a child, and even at the academy, she was highly sought after for her outstanding appearance. She had never lacked suitors, so she was very sensitive to such things.

Tian Yanyan was unhappy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She smiled at him obediently: "Really? Who does he look like?"

Tian Yanyan despised the old-fashioned pick-up line in her heart.

"Hmm..." Miao Kaijie suddenly stood up straight, the corners of his mouth remained unchanged, but the temperature in his eyes dropped. "Is your mother's name Tian Shu?"

"How do you know?" Tian Yanyan was stunned.

"...What's your name?" Miao Kaijie lowered his hand, smiling broadly. Tian Yanyan, however, felt a sudden chill, and hesitated.

"……Miss?"

Perhaps because she hadn't responded for too long, Miao Kaijie looked at her with a smile and asked again.

"I, I said my name is Tian Yanyan."

Tian Yanyan took a half step back, her instinct telling her that something was wrong.

Miao Kaijie smiled faintly, his eyes cold.

She really is her daughter.

Really...

A cold laugh escaped from Miao Kaijie's throat.

Do you think he's just bluffing?

"You, you know my mother?" Tian Yanyan couldn't help but ask when she thought of what had just happened.

"Your mother?" Miao Kaijie tilted his head and smiled, "I don't know her, I've only heard of her."

"Oh……"

Tian Yanyan didn't quite believe it, but she knew that pointing it out would probably make things worse, so she didn't continue the topic and just asked, "Then... can I leave?"

"Of course." Miao Kaijie smiled brightly.

Tian Yanyan heaved a sigh of relief, thanked him and was about to leave——

"——As long as you can defeat the giant tiger at the foot of the mountain." Miao Kaijie added slowly.

Tian Yanyan didn't take it seriously at first, thinking he was just trying to scare her, until she saw the "giant tiger" at the foot of the mountain. She turned around and came back without any hesitation.

"...Then, is it really a 'tiger'?" Tian Yanyan stared at Miao Kaijie with cold sweat on her head.

"Ah, I don't know." Miao Kaijie spread his hands. It should count.

What a ghost!

Tian Yanyan cursed in her heart.

That is clearly a monster, a Warcraft!

She had never seen a tiger beast with nine human faces!

Tian Yanyan remembered that when she met the monster just now, it was lying by the water and taking a light nap. Tian Yanyan didn't see it clearly at first and wanted to sneak over, but she saw the human face on the monster's head clearly out of the corner of her eye. A chill ran from the soles of her feet to her forehead.

Tian Yanyan looked in horror and happened to meet one of the faces' eyes. It would have been fine if she hadn't looked, but when she did, she was shocked.

It's so weird that the monster has nine human heads!

Tian Yanyan was so frightened that her scalp went numb and she ran back in a panic.

Miao Kaijie laughed at her on the surface, but also felt a little regretful that he failed to kill her, and he understood in his heart.

Sure enough, the world here is very similar to the mountains I visited before, or maybe... is it a part of it?

Miao Kaijie didn't quite understand, but he felt that Qin Xiao seemed to know a lot.

It seems... I have to meet up with Qin Xiao first.

Miao Kaijie suddenly slapped his hands, startling the two people beside him.

Miao Kaijie just smiled apologetically and said nothing.

I almost forgot, Qin Xiao and the others said we would meet up first after we arrived.

Miao Kaijie tapped his fingers and glanced at Tian Yanyan.

"Can you... help me?"

Tian Yanyan thought about it again and again, and finally asked: "I think, please..."

Tian Yanyan suggested going together, but before Lan Huaiqing could say anything, Miao Kaijie asked why. Only when Tian Yanyan was willing to take out her own elixir and share it with the two of them did he reluctantly agree.

Tian Yanyan clenched her fists. She had never been so embarrassed before.

I actually begged them...

Tian Yanyan thought awkwardly that if both of them were not of higher rank, she would at least drag one of them down with her... Unfortunately, there is no if.

Lan Huaiqing had seen the beast when he came here with Miao Kaijie. He thought it would take a lot of effort, but he didn't expect that when he met the beast again, it just lay there quietly, with its nine heads resting quietly on its forelimbs. It didn't move until it left the sight.

Tian Yanyan: "..."

If she had known it was so simple, why would she have given the pills to him just now!

Tian Yanyan felt annoyed and regretful, but after taking a look at the two of them, she gave up the idea of coming back.

Outside the venue, the woman sitting in the luxurious private room clenched her fists, staring intently at Miao Kaijie's figure on the projection, muttering to herself, "Miao Kaijie, how dare you—"

A large hand grasped her shoulders, holding her close. The man was dressed in splendid clothes, his black hair half loose and half tied up. His fingertips rested on the woman's round shoulders, and his deep voice rang out, "He wouldn't dare."

The woman turned around to look at him, and the man smiled meaningfully. "Don't you know? This kid is the smartest. How could he do such a stupid thing just because he was angry?"

"...No, Tian Feng. You may not know him very well. He..." The woman's lips trembled. "He has gone crazy."

"Because he doesn't want to go home?" Tian Feng's dark eyes were deep, and he smiled mockingly, "So what?"

"He would rather stay in that damn place called Luanyunpo than come to see me... I always thought he was dead." Tian Shu frowned, revealing a trace of sadness.

"He hates me because of his dead father." Tian Shu pursed his lips and said hatefully, "I clearly explained it to him. Why can't he understand?"

"He clearly persevered and survived from that mountain. He clearly could have enjoyed the path you paved for him as long as he came back. Why…"

"Why does he have to fight like this? He's absolutely crazy!"

She had clearly explained to him that she had married his father out of impulse. His father was just a lowly man who hadn't even awakened his attributes, and she had even been kicked out of the house for such a man.

After ten years of marriage, the incompetent man had never been able to give her the life she wanted, nor had he helped her in her cultivation at all. His birth was an accident, but after the accident she actually received her father's forgiveness, which gave her the opportunity to return home.

Of course she had to seize this opportunity. After ten years of marriage, it would be a lie to say that she had no feelings for him, so she spared his life and returned home, promising her father to marry her cousin and never meet him and his son again.

But fate is fickle. After Tian Feng became the head of the family, he learned about the agreement between the two. In the future, one of his descendants would be chosen to go to such a dangerous place. He would let her and his child...

How could she bear to do that? But she was also of the Tian family, so she thought the child who was stranded outside would also be able to do it. With Tian Feng's support, she found the father and son, told them about the matter, and promised to give them sufficient compensation.

Unexpectedly, the usually docile man suddenly became furious. He not only threw things at her, but also yelled at her to get out.

Tian Shu simply couldn't believe how the man who always put himself first, who only tacitly agreed when he left, and who even said ashamedly, "I've delayed you," could become such a horrible and hateful person.

In her astonishment, she saw the child eavesdropping behind the door. The child looked not like her, but rather like his father, with a submissive look on his face.

The child stood timidly behind the door, looking at his angry father, as if he was about to run away. But he met her eyes, froze for a moment, and then really ran away.

Poor child, his father had no power to protect him, and he didn't even realize that he was eavesdropping there.

Tian Shu suddenly felt pity for the child, her child.

The man was unable to communicate, so she found the child, tactfully explained her purpose, and promised him that he would give him the awakening attribute, plus a magic crystal.

You have to know that this benefit is something that many people want but cannot get, but she only needs him to agree to this request. How generous of her.

The boy listened, looked at her, then looked in the direction of the man's house, thought about it, and agreed.

She was overjoyed, and after completing his awakening, as expected, it was the most useless line, but it was consistent with his status.

After she told him the absorption method, she ignored the boy who was holding a ball of thread and wanted to say something, and hurriedly dropped a magic crystal of good quality and rushed home to tell Tian Shu the good news. However, Tian Shu's face changed when he heard the news.

"You gave him the magic crystal?"

She thought he was reluctant to leave, and was about to explain, but she saw Tian Shu's ugly face.

"He just woke up. What if he died?"

Only then did she remember that it really didn't work. Frustrated, she rushed over, only to learn that the child had already absorbed it.

"...If anything happens to him, I will never forgive you." The man's eyes were red, and he showed hatred to her for the first time.

Tian Shu couldn't understand. It was obviously the boy's greed. He wanted to absorb it as soon as she left. How could he blame herself?

Fortunately, the boy held on. After seeing her, he did not act ungratefully like his father. Instead, he lowered his head to her meekly and said that he would keep his promise.

Tian Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and the boy asked her to take good care of his father after he left, and she agreed.

But then the man died of his own illness. She couldn't be blamed, could she? She had already given him the lowest-grade elixir, and he hadn't absorbed it and died of vomiting. How could she be blamed? The man had no money for care, and he lived in such a remote place. How could she have known he'd died at home?

But the child was just as ungrateful as his father. After seeing his father's body, he buried him without a word and burned down the house. He didn't ask her for any explanation and continued to live his life in Luanyunpo. Later, when she found him and tried to explain, he wouldn't listen, just staring at her with those eyes that were full of sarcasm.

Tian Shu didn't know why, but the man often looked at her with those eyes. Perhaps it was the tenderness in them that made her feel very happy. But the boy's eyes, which looked so much like a man's, made her extremely uncomfortable. Just looking at them was like ants crawling all over her body.

The boy didn't listen to her explanation at all. She slapped him in anger, but was threatened instead.

How dare you threaten her with Yan'er...

Tian Shu clenched his fists, anger suddenly rising in his heart.

How dare he? If he really did anything to Yan'er... she would never let him go.

If Tian Feng hadn't been kind enough to take him in, she would have felt a little guilty towards him... Otherwise, with his low-level and cheap attributes, he wouldn't even be qualified to enter the Tian family!

Tian Shu thought angrily, what else could he be except crazy? He was angry with her just because of that man. She was obviously his mother, so why couldn't he understand her?
