Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 220: The Unknown Side (Eighth Update)
"As you can see, I'm just a soul master with extraordinary talent." Chen Ming said gently, but the content of his words was even more difficult to accept than if he were a peerless Douluo who had regained his youth.

"I want to know, who did you offend to be locked up in this stone chamber, where you are neither able to live nor to die?"

After hearing Chen Ming's words, A Yin was silent for a moment, then gave a bitter smile.

"I just don't quite understand. Hao loves me."

"Oh?" Chen Ming put down the teacup, stared at A Yin who almost buried his head in his chest, and gave a strange smile.

"I remember a big event happened on the mainland when I was a kid. The Haotian Sect traitor Tang Hao killed the Spirit Hall's Pope Qian Xunji for a 100,000-year-old soul beast that transformed into a human. It is said that the soul beast was the Blue Silver Emperor."

"Blue Silver Grass soul beasts are quite special. There is a spiritual connection between them. The Blue Silver Grass of a continent is considered a clan, so there can only be one emperor of the Blue Silver Grass clan in Douluo Continent. That should be you, right?"

"One of the protagonists of that incident? The transformed soul beast Blue Silver Emperor? You sacrificed it to others, but because of the unique talent of the Blue Silver Grass clan, you turned into a seed and barely survived?"

"."

"Yes, I am the Blue Silver Emperor." There was a bitter expression on Ah Yin's face. She looked at her hands that seemed real, and seemed to recall that day.

That day, she sacrificed herself to the person she loved. Although there were many things she didn't want to mention, she had no regrets for the person she loved and the child.

She originally thought that with her unique talent, she might be able to embrace her lover again in her lifetime. However, she did not expect that when she regained consciousness, she was trapped in a desperate cell.

The holes in the stone chamber let in sunlight only for three months a year. The rock chamber did not contain enough nutrients for her to grow, and the excessive humidity in the air made her feel like she was about to rot.

If there was any Blue Silver Grass beside her, she could use the Blue Silver Grass Clan's talent to gather some of the clan members' power to grow. But the only living thing in the stone chamber was herself, and with her weakness, she couldn't even spread her mental power to contact her clan members.

For nearly ten years, Ah Yin was trapped in the stone chamber of despair. His growth in ten years was not even as fast as his growth in one year in the Blue Silver Forest.

For most of the year, the only thing she could do was to rely on her talent to force herself into a deep sleep and reduce her own consumption. Only during the three months when the sun was shining would she barely resume her thinking and try her best to open her leaves to absorb the sunlight so that she would not die in the following time.

Ah Yin sometimes thought and hated her current situation. However, given her situation in the stone chamber, her condition did not allow her to spend too much time thinking and hating, otherwise her weakness would worsen and she would be closer to death.

So when Chen Ming pulled her out of the stone chamber, she was powerless to resist. After Chen Ming injected vitality into her, she instinctively wrapped her body around Chen Ming's fingers, eager for Chen Ming to continue injecting the essence of life into her hungry body.

If Chen Ming had not pulled her consciousness into the spiritual world, her mind would remain ignorant and her body would only instinctively crave Chen Ming's gift.

"So you haven't answered my question yet. Have you been caught by your enemy? The environment in that stone chamber doesn't seem to want you to survive." Chen Ming questioned Ah Yin, his words gradually becoming more sharp.

“With the vitality of your Blue Silver Grass, even if you were randomly planted in the ground, or even thrown on a rock, you wouldn’t be reduced to this state, right? Even if you are the Blue Silver Emperor, a 100,000-year-old soul beast, but after losing your soul bones and soul rings, your essence has become extremely weak. If it were that stone chamber, even if you lived for 100,000 years, it would be difficult for you to recover to the level of a 10,000-year-old soul beast.”

"In that stone chamber, you couldn't even contact your own people, right? After losing the emperor, perhaps the Blue Silver Grass Clan would look for your traces in the first few hundred years or even a thousand years. But as time goes by, a new emperor will eventually appear in the Blue Silver Grass Clan."

"And in your state, the moment the new emperor of the Blue Silver Grass Clan appears, that will be the day you completely disappear from both your soul and body."

Chen Ming told a cruel truth.

No matter how united the Blue Silver Grass Clan is, they still need an emperor. Even if they are reluctant, after losing the previous emperor, for the sake of the clan, there will still be a Blue Silver King in the Blue Silver Grass Clan who will grow further and replace A Yin as the new generation of emperor of the Blue Silver Grass Clan.

Ah Yin lost the essence of the 100,000-year-old soul beast, and only had some mental power left. He was completely relying on his talent as an emperor to survive. Without the identity of an emperor, Ah Yin couldn't even survive.

"I'm very curious about who planted you in the stone chamber and made you unable to live or die. Who didn't absorb the soul bones you produced, but placed them in a lead box that could be isolated and placed it next to you."

"If I didn't really want you to die, I wouldn't have thought of doing something so torturous."

Listening to Chen Ming's words, Ah Yin shed tears in pain. She was very hesitant in her heart, but she kept her mouth tightly closed.

There was no other way, Chen Ming could only quietly use some of the evil god's power as a trigger to amplify the negative emotions in A Yin's heart.

However, what Chen Ming did not expect was that he originally just wanted to stimulate Ah Yin's negative emotions and get into his own rhythm. But when this negative emotion overwhelmed his rationality, Ah Yin's rationality collapsed instantly, and he no longer concealed his emotions.

She lay on the table, her eyes turned red, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes like a waterfall, and her voice was a little hysterical.

"I know, I know, I actually know"

"When I was pregnant, on the day I told Hao that I was pregnant, I noticed that Hao's face became very strange. From that day on, he took good care of me, but there was a strange look in his eyes, a malice that had never been there before."

"I originally thought he wouldn't. I originally thought I could really live like a human, but I had already avoided almost all humans and even asked my tribesmen to observe the surroundings for me. But when I was about to give birth, my identity as a 100,000-year soul beast was still exposed."

"Obviously, at the beginning, he was fully capable of leading me out of the encirclement. I also mentioned that I wanted to return to the Blue Silver Forest. As long as I was there, no one could hurt me. But..."
