Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

Having suffered enough from her faith, Yu Cixin was unwilling to let Liao Tian go to the Desire Realm, a place of heinous crimes.

"If you stop it, you will lose a son. If you let go, not only will your son be unharmed, but you will also gain a daughter-in-law."

"Luo Hou, Liao Tian is your own son, and you actually gave him to an outsider!"

"Trust your son; he can distinguish between good and evil."

Yu Cixin couldn't believe it, but the heavy snow had already buried the giant demon's tracks.

At this moment, at the Spring Night Dream Pavilion, Dugu Du, the Poison Queen of Tushan, came to demand an explanation.

Seeing Fu Yueying nestled in Mida's arms, the two of them being all lovey-dovey, the Poison Queen couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

"The Demon Buddha of the Desire Realm is indeed here, Moon Shadow!"

"Who are you? How dare you spoil my fun!"

Fu Yueying grabbed Mida's raised hands and said coquettishly, "Demon Buddha, this is my mother. My mother and I have not seen each other for a long time. I hope that Demon Buddha can give us a moment so that my mother and I can have a family reunion."

"Humph!"

Mida turned and left.

Fu Yueying asked in confusion, "Mother, how did you come to the Spring Night Dream Pavilion?"

I came for you!

"Mother?"

The Poison Queen was heartbroken: "What exactly did Bu Xiangchen do to you? How could you be with the Demon Buddha?"

Fu Yueying smiled and said, "Mother, you are worrying too much. Bu Xiangchen and I are allies. And befriending the Demon Buddha will help me remove obstacles in the future."

"You! How could you become like this? Have you forgotten how Chu Xiangchen caused you to lose everything? Yueying, it's not too late to turn back now. Let it go and come back to Tushan with me to retire, okay?"

“Mother, this world is about to fall into the hands of Bu Xiangchen and me. I cannot give up now.”

The Poison Queen pleaded, "Moon Shadow, your mother has seen too many people who are obsessed with power struggles, driven by desires and then devoured by them, just like your uncle and the Golden Lion Empire, who ultimately became a fragment of history lost to the past."

"Hehehe~"

Fu Yueying covered her mouth and chuckled: "Mother, while you were lecturing me, did you ever try to understand my true thoughts?"

"what idea?"

"My mother, my father, my beloved—one by one they have left me, all because of my incompetence; I lacked strength. Only with strength can I prevent them from losing me again!"

"Moon Shadow, you've become obsessed and demonic."

Fu Yueying looked at the Poison Queen nonchalantly: "Whether she is human or demon, what does it matter? Mother, you should leave and enjoy your retirement."

"You...sigh."

The poison queen had no choice but to leave the Spring Night Dream Garden.

My heart felt cold.

Since Tushan saw her off that day, in just over a month, Yueying's appearance has changed drastically, and her temperament has become abnormal.

How can we get her back on the right track?

Just as the Poison Queen was deep in thought, a powerful demonic hand attacked from the shadows, striking her squarely in the back.

Caught off guard, the poisoner suffered severe injuries on the spot.

Suddenly, a purple shadow flashed, and Mida appeared in front of him, striking the poisoned chest with another palm strike.

"The Three Poisons have been lost to the world!"

In a desperate moment, the Poison Queen mustered all her strength to launch a counterattack against Mi Da.

Unexpectedly, the mirror reflected the image of the Mita Dance, and Zong Lun defeated the enemy.

Then, Mida unleashed his final killing move: "For the sake of Moon Shadow, I have no choice but to ask the Poison Queen to set off from the Western Paradise, Six Paths of Reincarnation - Void Annihilation!"

Just as the poisoned queen was in critical condition, a pure and holy aura struck.

Mida turned around in astonishment: "Shang Yingluo!"

Before Chang Yingluo could speak, she swiftly unleashed her attack: "Buddha Net Heavenly Formation, run!"

After being rescued from the poison, Mida still returned to the Spring Night Dream Pavilion.

Seeing that he had used his true energy, Fu Yueying asked in surprise, "What happened?"

“I intended to persuade your mother to reconcile you and your daughter, but unexpectedly she attacked me with a poisonous palm.”

Fu Yueying said urgently, "Please forgive my mother, Demon Buddha. She is just short-tempered."

Mida lifted Fu Yueying's pretty face and smiled, "Don't worry."

Another place where snow is falling.

The tower bells did not ring tonight; only the cold snow chilled people to the bone.

After Gong Wuhou was thrown into the Desert Twilight by Duanmie Chanti, he was unable to leave because his body was locked up and gradually fainted until the master of this place, Bie Huanghun, returned tonight.

When Bie Huanghun suddenly saw the blood and tears in the corners of Gong Wuhou's eyes, he exclaimed in shock, "Fu'er? How could this be!"

Gong Wuhou looked at the disheveled swordsman before her and struggled to sit up: "Who...who are you?"

"Your injury is quite serious; you mustn't move around."

"I want to go back to Yandu, I must go back."

Gong Wuhou's wish was not yet fulfilled. No matter how hateful Gu Ling Shiyan was, he had to return to his side.

Bie Huanghun stopped Gong Wuhou: "You can't leave."

Suddenly, Gong Wuhou's vision went black, and he collapsed.

Before she could fall to the ground, she was caught in a warm embrace: "Don't be stubborn, I just wanted to save you."

Gong Wuhou dared not trust anyone, but she felt a strange sense of security in this person.

"Who are you? And why did you save me?"

"I called you Farewell to Dusk and saved you because your blood-stained eyes stirred up my most cherished memories."

Gong Wuhou was surprised that an outsider knew about the Eye of Blood Tears. He touched the corner of his eye and asked, "What memory?"

“My son’s face also bears the same blood and tears as yours, but he died young.”

"I'm sorry, I made you sad."

"Perhaps this isn't sadness..."

Just now, when Bie Huanghun helped him up, he not only discovered the Eye of Blood Tears, but also that the man had a protruding bone on his right shoulder that was exactly the same as his son's.

Is there really such a coincidence in the world?

Bie Huanghun asked, "May I ask your esteemed name, swordsman?"

"The palace has no empress."

"A peerless swordsman, a peerless title, why do you insist on returning to Yandu despite being so severely injured?"

"Nothing to do with you."

"Excuse me. Were you born in Yantai?"

Bie Huanghun asked rather abruptly, but Gong Wuhou still answered him: "I don't know, but according to the people in the inner palace, I was already two years old when I arrived in Yandu."

"Two years old!"

Seeing Bie Huanghun's shocked expression, Gong Wuhou's heart skipped a beat: "What have you discovered?"

"It's nothing. Your injuries will require a few more days to heal. During this time, I will do my best to help you recover."

"Thank you."

At dusk, Bie Huang carried Gong Wuhou into the tower, told him to rest well, and then left.

In the nearby cemetery, three graves stood side by side, buried deep in snow.

Don't swing your sword at dusk to cut open the oldest grave, then open the small coffin.

Unexpectedly, there was only a yellowed letter inside—

“My friend, the fact that you dug up this grave means you have already become suspicious of me. Years ago, I made a deal with Gu Ling Shi Yan, exchanging your son for Hen Qian Gu…”

When the old story is revealed, the truth is so unbearable.

Like a wounded beast, dusk howls through the snowy night: "Following the Eastern Emperor! Traces of a thousand ages! Ancient tombs shrouded in smoke!"

Chapter 235 I'll Go to Hell, and You'll Be With Me

Three days later, Gong Wuhou's injuries had improved considerably, and he bid farewell to Bie Huanghun.

"Thank you for your care. I should return to Yandu now."

"Fu'er, don't go. Let's leave this martial world and find a quiet place to retire."

"Ok?"

Unable to contain his excitement, Bie Huanghun took out the letter left by Qi Taizu: "You are my son, my Fu'er. It is your father's fault for not taking good care of you!"

"What exactly is going on?"

"Gu Ling Shi Yan, for reasons unknown, was searching everywhere for the Eye of Blood Tears. Your father's friend, Qi Taizu, took you away and made a deal with Gu Ling Shi Yan, in exchange for Hen Qian Gu killing people for him... It's a pity you were only two years old at that time."

"I understand now. That's why he always looked at me with such greedy eyes. He was looking at the blood and tears on my face."

Empress Wu touched the corner of her eye.

A person's fate is already written as a "tragic" ending at birth.

Bie Huanghun burst into tears: "It's all my fault for mistaking the devil for a friend. I'm so sorry."

"Heh, how can I blame you? As long as I possess the Eye of Blood and Tears, Gu Ling Shi Yan will find me sooner or later."

The principle that "possessing a treasure is a crime" was not understood by anyone in the palace.

He stood up unsteadily: "I want to go back to Yandu."

"Fu'er, don't go. Father only asks that you be safe and sound."
