Chapter 140
Ye Piaoling’s gaze shifted, and she saw her cheap, scumbag father lying on the ground, badly injured, coughing up blood and unable to get up.
Ye Piaoling hurried over to check his wounds, then gave her diagnosis. “Dad, it looks like you’re about to die!”
Ye Liaozhai opened his mouth, desperately trying to tell her something.
Ye Piaoling said, “I know what you want to say. You want to tell me the truth about my birth, right? You’re not my real father at all. My biological father is someone else!”
From the very beginning, she had decided that Ye Liaozhai was selfish and self-serving. There was no way he was her real dad!
When a man was near death, his words were supposed to be kind. At a time like this, he ought to reveal the truth, right?
When Ye Liaozhai heard her, he violently spat out another huge mouthful of blood.
In a trembling voice, he said, “What nonsense are you talking about… I am your father. Who else could there be…”
Ye Piaoling froze.
No way.
She couldn’t help asking, “Then what were you trying to say just now?”
Ye Liaozhai gripped Ye Piaoling’s hand. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the Evil Lord in the sky, then used every last bit of strength he had to force out the words with great difficulty.
“I wanted to tell you, child, don’t give up…”
Ye Piaoling was suddenly a little moved.
At that moment, she finally felt that Ye Liaozhai did have a father’s love!
With a powerful enemy before them and his own life fading, he still remembered to encourage his child…
He was telling her not to give up!!!
Ye Piaoling tightened her grip on her scumbag father’s hand as well and said solemnly, “Dad, don’t worry and go in peace. I will definitely defeat that villain in the sky!”
When Ye Liaozhai heard that, he sprayed out another mouthful of old blood.
He trembled violently and struggled to finish what he had only said halfway. “Don’t give up… Dad can still be saved…”
Ye Piaoling: “…”
So when her cheap scumbag dad said not to give up, he meant don’t give up on saving him?
After all that, he was still only thinking about himself!
Even the Evil Lord in the sky was speechless. “…”
What kind of touching scene of fatherly kindness and filial piety was this? Why did he always have to watch this stuff?
Ye Piaoling was speechless for quite a while too.
Then she figured that her scumbag father’s request was actually perfectly reasonable, so she sent a little spiritual energy into his meridians and gave him some emergency treatment.
Then she said, “I’m going to fight the villain now. You find somewhere safe to hide first!”
She looked around. There really wasn’t anywhere in the courtyard to hide. There was only a refrigerator and a coffin.
Ye Piaoling said, “The fridge is a bit chilly. Dad, you should hide in the coffin for a while!”
Ye Liaozhai nodded, and with her supporting him, he hurriedly crawled into the triangular coffin.
Ye Liaozhai found a position that gave him a sense of security, covered his head, and hid himself away. Then he pleaded, “Quick, help Dad put the lid on. Seal it tight.”
Ye Piaoling put the lid on for him.
After settling her cheap scumbag father, she looked up and saw that the Three Po Souls of the Evil Lord in the sky had finished merging into one. He had become a stunningly handsome man in luxurious robes, with purple eyes and silver hair. His features were bold and arrogant, and he looked down on all living beings.
Ye Piaoling sized him up and couldn’t help sighing. “To be fair, you really are good-looking. Your figure is great too… If you got a proper job, you’d definitely make a lot of money every day!”
The Evil Lord: “…?”
A proper job?
Ye Piaoling shook her head, expressing her regret. “What a pity. Such a pity! You clearly have the looks to become the top courtesan, yet you insist on relying on strength to dominate the Three Realms… Why bother?”
The Evil Lord sneered. “Death is upon you, and you still have the nerve to mock me?!”
He raised his hand, and a Yin-Yang Bagua Grand Array suddenly appeared in the courtyard. He and Ye Piaoling each stood on one of the array cores.
Ye Piaoling was shocked. “What is this?”
“This is the Star-Absorbing Grand Array. It can drain all your spiritual power and make it mine…”
The Evil Lord smiled hideously. “I have long since confirmed that you are the Immortal Spirit who inherited the Love of the Divine Tree!”
Ye Piaoling looked terrified. “Y-you knew?”
With his grand plan already succeeding, the Evil Lord laughed. “I sensed the aura of the Divine Tree on you and that foolish emperor from the very beginning. At that time, I speculated that you must be the Immortal Spirit of the Divine Tree, while he was the Evil Spirit…”
“To verify my thoughts, I deliberately used the Hundred Demon Mountain trial to bring you into the Eternal Life Origin Realm… Do you still remember the teleportation array you activated when you returned? Only the Love of the Divine Tree could activate that teleportation array. The facts proved that my deduction was correct!”
Ye Piaoling’s expression changed. “So everything you did that time was just to confirm my and Xiao Changye’s identities?”
“Hahaha, correct, but there is no reward!”
The Evil Lord laughed smugly. “As the Evil Spirit of the Divine Tree, Xiao Changye should have joined me in destroying heaven and earth. But he is so foolish and useless that I no longer expect anything from him… Once I have drained all of your spiritual power, no one in the Three Realms will be able to rival me!”
After the Evil Lord finished delivering the victorious speech of a villain, he activated the Star-Absorbing Grand Array and began absorbing Ye Piaoling’s spiritual power!
Ye Piaoling screamed in terror, “Ahhh! No!”
The Evil Lord laughed. “You can scream yourself hoarse and no one will come to save you. This time, even Di Xiulan won’t be able to save you!”
He burst into triumphant laughter. “Hahahaha… Hm? Something’s wrong?”
The Evil Lord’s laughter came to an abrupt stop.
Because he suddenly realized that the array had actually begun operating in reverse, sending his spiritual power into Ye Piaoling’s body instead!
This…
Had the array broken?
