The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 20 — Yama Mountains (14)
Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran were cultivating, hunting magical beasts for combat experience and practicing the scrolls obtained from Shen Wenhuan.
The increase in Lian family twins is quite impressive, Lian Haocun can spend 80% to 90% The First Movement of the Blue Lotus Movement Scroll was arguably very extraordinary and he also began to study the Second Movement of the Blue Lotus Movement Scroll even though his comprehension was not high enough at the moment to bring out all that power it is in the second movement.
While Lian Huanran had a good understanding of the first technique he learned so that he could expend about 50% to 70% of the power in the Red Fire Arrow technique.
Although it still could not be compared to Lian's extraordinary achievements, Lian Huanran's talent to bring out the strength of the Red Fire Arrow technique above 50% within 3 months of training was already very good. So that it could even create a slight uproar in the top-tier sects.
Not only that, Lian Haocun reached the level of Foundation Building stage 4 with a heaven-defying speed, 6 months only. Even someone with special talent could only achieve it after about 2 years.
Although Lian Huanran had no improvement towards his cultivation, Lian Huanran was someone with talent that even high-class sects would target and was arguably amazing.
Although it still cannot be compared to Lian Haocun who is too extraordinary to be called terrible. And that's how the 3-month period that Shen Wenhuan gave was completed.
...****************...
“Kakak, meal time!” Shouted Lian Huanran calling out to Lian Haocun who was exploring the Yama Mountains around the Cave where Lexie lived.
On Lian Huanran's side was Lexie who had a grim and sad expression despite being covered with her smile and gentle aura along with the small Snow-white Winged Yellow Tiger, Bai and Cheng, Yellow Tiger with small orange wings.
Bai and Cheng lay near Lexie as if they could not be separated. Lexie stroked Bai and Cheng one by one while trying to ease the sadness in her heart.
The fragrant aroma of the cooked food Lian Huanran immediately swarmed into Lian Haocun's sense of smell as she drew closer to Lian Huanran, Lexie and her twins. Lian Haocun glanced at Lian Huanran and Lexie for a while then sat cross-legged not far from where they were until they sat all three face to face.
The food cooked by Lian Huanran has a portion that is quite a lot so Lian Haocun would not want to ask, “What Bai and Cheng can already eat meat?”
Lian Huanran replied before Lexie could answer, “Iya. They can already eat it.”
Lian Haocun responded with a short ‘Hm’.
Lexie said to Bai and Cheng in a gentle and affectionate tone, “Let's eat.”
Bai and Cheng immediately pounced on the meat cooked by Lian Huanran with vigor and ate it voraciously making Lexie and Lian Huanran chuckle and tease Bai and Cheng.
Bai and Cheng who were still unable to speak could only roar menacingly, but in Lian Huanran's eyes they both looked so cute that it made Lian Huanran want to hug her.
Seeing his elder brother's attitude, Lian Huanran placed Bai on Lian Haocun's lap making Lian Haocun's body stiff. Lian Huanran immediately noticed it and took Bai back, but he laughed and mocked Lian Haocun in a joking tone while eating.
The atmosphere between the magical beast and the human race was very harmonious, but under that harmonious atmosphere there was an atmosphere of sadness that was maintained until the food ran out.
Lexie learns that her time has come, however she cannot delay Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran even though she wants her to be with her children longer. Lexie rubbed Bai and Cheng with her head one last time, although Lexie did not shed a tear, Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran could feel the gloom and sadness from Lexie's eyes.
Lian Huanran asked spontaneously after seeing Lexie's eyes that reflected her true feelings, “Are you sure you don't want to come?”
Lexie shook her head and said, “No... Thank you..., please take care of them.”
Lian Huanran nodded followed by Lian Haocun. Lexie smiled then looked at Bai and Cheng, carving them into his memory for the last time. As if sensing something, Bai and Cheng clung tightly together with Lexie not letting it go. The bond between mother and child is inseparable.
“You should take good care of yourself, ok?”
Lexie's eyes reddened saying that, feeling the urge to cry, Lexie held her back desperately in order to leave a good final image in front of her children. Bai and Cheng increasingly held Lexie tightly with their two small legs each, not intending to let go and said repeatedly through their cute little roar, not intending to let go,
“Mother! Mama! Don't leave! Don't go!”
Lian Huanran who could not stand it, said to persuade Bai and Cheng, “Come here.”
Bai and Cheng held Lexie tighter and tighter, the eyes of the twin magical beasts that had only seen the world two months over were flushed, blushing, even the looks of tears in Bai and Cheng's eyes made them look very sad.
Inevitably Lian Huanran approached them and forcefully carried them, Lexie said one last time to Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran, “Send on you.”
Then go into the vast Yama mountains. Tears fell from her eyes as Lexie ran slowly away from her children. Bai and Cheng tried to break away from Lian Huanran as they extended their small legs towards Lexie leaving and said with a small roar that sounded pitiful.
Lian Haocun watched indifferently, but his mood felt a little heavier. “Come go.”
Lian Haocun said as he walked towards the border of the Yama Mountains while Lian Huanran calmed the crying Bai and Cheng while following Lian Haocun.
Despite meeting the magical beasts that attacked countless times, Lian Haocun annihilated them easily plus his heart was filled with emotions that he did not understand making him channel his emotions through killing to the magical beasts that attacked him.
