Chapter 706 Wu Yao part B (2/2)

The queen slowly slid down the stone pillar, blood pouring down her face and slowly obscuring her vision,

She weakly reached out and grabbed at the altar, as if wanting to pull that tiny body down. However, her hand ultimately fell to the ground.

Darkness descended, filling her vision.

Yao’er...mother is truly sorry that she failed to protect you.

Perhaps she should not have agreed to King Wu’s request back then. If she had not delayed the birth of her twin children for three years, perhaps none of this would have happened.

This could be retribution...

Rumble!

Thunder boomed across the area. Giant thunderbolts snaked through the sky like giant pythons, creating an incomparably sinister sight.

On the altar, Wu Yao’s tightly shut eyes suddenly opened at this moment. She immediately rose from the stone bed, seemingly sensing something as she looked down from the altar.

In a pool of her own blood beside the stone pillar, the queen’s body was slowly turning cold.

King Wu was startled by this scene, not expecting Wu Yao to awaken at this moment.

“Mo...mother?” Wu Yao’s voice trembled as she climbed down from the stone bed.

“Wu Yao?” Wu Huang also crawled to his feet as he forcefully grabbed Wu Yao’s tiny hand in an attempt to stop her.

Boom!

However, an extremely powerful wave of Genesis Qi suddenly exploded from Wu Yao’s body as she threw a punch at him.

Urgh!

The punch sent Wu Huang flying as he vomited a mouthful of blood.

He stared in shock at Wu Yao, whose long hair slowly moved around her without any wind. The power in that punch had far exceeded his own. Moreover, the Genesis Qi that pulsed from her body was even more powerful than his own!

“Scram.” muttered Wu Yao before she shakily walked down from the altar towards the pool of blood.

King Wu dazedly stared at Wu Yao. Moments later, wild joy surged out in his eyes.

“All nine merdian channels opened!

“Wu Yao, you’ve finally awakened the sacred dragon blessing!”

Wu Yao did not even notice King Wu’s overjoyed gaze. She arrived beside the queen’s corpse and slowly knelt down as she forcibly hugged the queen’s body.

Rumble!

Lightning cut through the night.

Torrential rain began to pour from the sky as a curtain of rain enveloped the land.

Wu Yao’s tiny body trembled as she hugged the queen’s corpse. In the end, she could not help but raise her head, tears dyeing her pale face as a heart-wrenching cry rang out within the rain.

“Mother!

“Mother please wake up!

“I’m Yao’er, will you please wake up?!

“Yao’er promises that she will forever listen to you in the future!

While the bawling Wu Yao’s heart was being ripped apart, she did not notice the fire rising behind her and the flaming phoenix slowly emerging within.

……

The Great Wu Empire mourned their queen’s death.

Wu Yao silently knelt before a giant tomb, dressed in a white dress of mourning. Her little face had been numbed of all emotion long ago as she robotically threw paper money into the fire. She was completely indifferent even when the fire burned her hands from time to time.

Numerous servant ladies were kneeling behind her.

No one knew how long they knelt for when a trace of vigor finally appeared in Wu Yao’s glazed eyes. Her face extremely cold and distant, the pure smile from the past already forever washed away by the torrential rain that day.

The surrounding servants trembled at Wu Yao’s frosty aura. They could feel that the little princess was now different from before...

Wu Yao slowly raised her head and looked towards the palace.

Although it was the queen’s funeral, she knew that the palace was in a state of celebration. They were celebrating her awakening of the sacred dragon blessing, because from this day, the Great Wu Empire would flourish to even greater heights.

How mocking.

Wu Yao’s mouth twitched for a moment, the paper money still burning her hand as she lifted it to eye-level.

Fire seemed to burn in a pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes.

This hateful palace, this loathsome city and its people, and the most abominable sacred dragon blessing...

You’re right mother. In this world, only power can stop others from hurting you...

In that case, I will become the strongest person in this world.

Mother, I know that you never liked this palace...and perhaps, you may also never been fond of this Great Wu Empire...

Since that is the case...

I will burn all of them as an offering to you if the chance presents itself in the future...

Wu Yao’s eyes slowly began to close.

When they opened again, the once pure eyes that were once filled with kindness were slowly covered by cold, heartless ice.

From this very day---

I will be a new Wu Yao!
