Chapter 437: My Sean, the Reunion of Sean and Luna Porter
Luna Porter’s ruthlessness and viciousness was evident from this incident. She used the corpse of an unrelated infant along with the truth to deceive King Roscoe and drive him to despair and death.
However, blood is thicker than water! For her own flesh and blood, Luna Porter still retained a shred of kindness, or rather, she could not bear to kill her own child in the womb.
Sean was hiding in the shadows and naturally understood some of what had happened from the conversation between the two young women. King Roscoe was the wolf and Luna Porter the tiger. They had become enemies over this child. In the battle between the wolf and tiger, Luna Porter came out on top in the end. With her cunning plan, she managed to pit King Roscoe to death.
Sean’s mind was unperturbed by this. He felt neither regret over King Roscoe’s tragic end, nor surprise at Luna Porter’s actions. After all, he had witnessed Luna Porter’s almost pathological twisted mentality and extremely brutal means more than once. It had become normal to him.
Moreover, in Sean’s eyes, the struggle between Luna Porter and King Roscoe was like dogs fighting amongst themselves. No matter who won or lost, it was unimportant. The only thing that mattered was whether the baby being held by one of the young women was his own flesh and blood!
So Sean strode out confidently into the open!
“Who’s there?!”
At the sound of footsteps, the two young women were immediately alerted. Their expressions changed drastically as they looked towards the source of the sound. The one holding the baby retreated several steps while the other stepped forward to block the way.
A white-haired young man appeared in the room!
The young woman standing in front glared at Sean and shouted, “Stop! Who are you?”
Earlier, they had not seen Sean before.
Without stopping, Sean said as he walked, “Give that child to me!”
“Dream on!”
Although scared out of her wits, the young woman stubbornly threatened, “Don’t come over! Or I’ll… I’ll call for help!”
Bang!
But almost as soon as the words left her mouth, Sean raised his hand from a distance and grabbed the air. Then with a flick, it was as if an invisible gigantic hand had seized her neck in an iron grip. Next, an irresistible tremendous force came hurtling over, flinging her straight into the wall with a dull thud. Blood flowed from her head as she lost consciousness!
Too fast!
It happened in the blink of an eye. The young woman did not even have a chance to call for help before being knocked out cold. As for the other young woman holding the baby, she did not see what Sean had done at all. All she saw was her friend shot through the air and smashed against the wall, then lay motionless with a horrifying head wound and blood.
“You!”
“You, you…”
The remaining young woman clutched the baby tightly to herself. Her heart pounded violently and all the hairs on her body stood on ends as she looked at Sean with an expression like she was looking at a fierce ghost risen from the depths of hell, full of boundless terror!
Retreat!
She kept retreating backwards!
Her legs went soft!
Soon, she was backed into a corner with nowhere to go. As Sean strode towards her and stopped two meters away, he reached out again. With a grab and pull through the air, once more an invisible gigantic hand materialized and seized the baby in the young woman’s arms. Then with a swoosh, the baby broke free of her embrace and flew horizontally into Sean’s waiting hands.
“Wah! Wah wah…”
The baby’s cries were grating. Sean glanced down and concentrated his senses to feel it out. After a while, he could not help heaving a deep sigh of relief!
Damn!
As expected, that madwoman Luna Porter was spouting nonsense!
Sure enough, she was making false accusations!
A Bright Realm cultivator like Sean could easily sense blood relatives. Therefore, he was now 100% certain that the wailing baby in his hands was definitely not his flesh and blood!
It wasn’t!
Thank goodness!
Sean had been worried for a whole day. Now the weight on his chest finally lifted.
Thump!
Having personally experienced Sean’s terrifying abilities, the young woman’s legs grew weaker and weaker until she collapsed on her knees before Sean and pleaded, “Gen… General Wolf! General Mason! Lord Wolf… I didn’t do anything. Please, I beg you, don’t kill me!”
“Spare me!”
“Spare my life!”
Although the young woman had never seen Sean before, as one of King Roscoe’s women, she had heard of Sean. From his head of white hair and frightening abilities, she guessed Sean’s identity!
Sean coldly said, “Answer my questions honestly and you’ll have a chance to live!”
“Yes!”
“Yes, yes!”
Groveling on the ground, the young woman nodded rapidly and stammered, “General Mason, ask anything and I’ll… I’ll tell you everything I know without concealing the slightest thing!”
Sean asked, “Was this child born from Luna Porter?”
“It’s her!”
“She gave birth to it!”
The young woman answered without hesitation, “King Roscoe thought the whole time that the baby in Miss Porter’s belly was General Mason’s child. So he wanted to refine this child with Lord Snow and Lord Fisher’s help by activating the Soul Devouring Formation in the underground altar to assault Bright Realm!”
Although these two young women had already surrendered to Luna Porter, faced with life and death, their so-called loyalty to Luna Porter was bullshit!
Every man for himself when danger comes!
“Tell me exactly what happened tonight from the beginning,” ordered Sean.
Surprisingly, these two young women had been directly involved in Luna Porter’s plan and had come from the underground altar. This was perfect. Sean could find out what was happening in the imperial city from her mouth.
“Alright!”
“I’ll tell! I’ll tell everything!”
Under Sean’s pressure, the young woman indeed told everything she knew in order to live…
…
At that time, in the underground altar!
Boom!!!
Just as Sean entered the Imperial Bedchambers, a familiar explosive sound was heard accompanied by a familiar scene unfolding. Lord Fisher sat cross-legged atop the jade pillar in the middle of the sacrificial blood pool. Gales whipped around his body as blood fog converged to form a frightening storm of blood!
Finally!
After several hours of unremitting effort, following Lord Snow’s footsteps, Lord Fisher also successfully stepped into Bright Realm as a true Bright Realm cultivator with the aid of the Soul Devouring Formation!
“Hahaha!”
“Hahahahaha!”
Immediately, sounds of unrestrained laughter rang throughout the entire underground altar, rang throughout the Hall of Throne, even spreading through half the imperial city!
“As expected of Lord Fisher, breaking through even half an hour faster than I did!”
By now, Lord Snow had already stabilized his realm and grown familiar with the abundant feeling of having his core filled with Bright Energy. That feeling was just awesome, as if explosive power was contained within his body. With a punch, he could split mountains and break rivers. Compared to being on the verge of Bright Realm, the difference was not just half a step!
Just half a step was like a chasm as vast as the heavens!
Once you crossed over, it was like ascending to heaven in one step, a qualitative leap!
“You flatter me, Lord Snow!”
Lord Fisher grinned from ear to ear. Unlike Lord Snow who hurried to consolidate his realm at the first opportunity, Lord Fisher moved horizontally off the blood pool’s altar and landed next to Luna Porter. Laughing, he gestured and said, “Thanks to Miss Porter’s planning, I’ve finally fulfilled my life’s aspirations by completing this great undertaking!”
“Now, both Lord Snow and I have stepped into Bright Realm, but Miss Porter’s foundations are still shallow. While the Soul Devouring Formation is still open, this is a rare opportunity. If Miss Porter also wants to experience it and increase her strength, Lord Snow and I can personally assist you in speeding things up a bit!”
The Soul Devouring Formation was rarely activated, and Luna Porter had been waiting here the whole time without leaving. Lord Fisher assumed she also wanted to use the formation to boost her own abilities. So without waiting for her to speak, he took the initiative to make the offer!
However, Luna Porter slowly stood up. After resting for hours, her injuries had healed and mood stabilized. Facing Lord Fisher’s good intentions, she decisively shook her head and declined, “Forget it. I only stayed to witness Lord Fisher’s promotion to Bright Realm with my own eyes. As for cultivation, it is not my aspiration!”
“Oh?”
Lord Snow and Lord Fisher exchanged glances, both taken aback!
Luna Porter did not explain further. Luna Porter smiled and said, “Now that Lord Fisher and Lord Snow have succeeded, next we can proceed with the plan we discussed earlier. I will send people later to inform North Kingdom about the exact deployment of Shirine Empire’s 500, 000 troops near Hill Riverside. Let North Kingdom’s 1 million elite soldiers annihilate Shirine’s 500, 000 army!”
“Then, the three of us can split up Shirine Empire and become warlords ruling over our own territories!”
“I’m tired now. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to rest first!”
After speaking, she bowed to Lord Snow and Lord Fisher separately, then actually turned and left the underground altar. This left Lord Snow and Lord Fisher looking at each other in confusion, unclear what Luna Porter was thinking.
Splitting up the empire and becoming warlords sounded nice, but they were already Bright Realm cultivators capable of dominating wherever they went. As for her, a feeble woman, passing up this perfect chance to increase her strength, how would she control the imperial city and become Her Majesty?
Rely on her looks?
Or her unparalleled cunning?
It made no sense!
Lord Snow and Lord Fisher were too lazy to think further. If Luna Porter later failed to control the capital, they could just lead troops to kill her and swallow up her share as well…
…
Luna Porter walked out of the underground altar alone and stood before the doors of the Hall of Throne. Her icy gaze swept over the vast imperial city. For some reason, although her sinister plot had succeeded, she had gotten her revenge, seized imperial power, and could be said to have risen to the heavens in one step, she could not feel happy at all!
On the contrary, with the madness passed, all that remained in her heart was endless emptiness!NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
The Porter family was gone!
King Roscoe was dead!
Everything familiar to Luna Porter had vanished like smoke, leaving only herself, leaving her all alone. She stood solitary before the doors of the Hall of Throne. It felt as if…
How to put it?
Originally!
You had your own family, your own lover, your own enemies, so you had love! Hatred! Known suffering! Known sweetness! You had the same seven emotions and six desires as everyone else!
But now!
You suddenly owned the whole world, yet somehow lost your own family, your own lover, your own enemies. With your heart empty, no more love, hatred, or anything left to tie you down, you were like a walking corpse, as if overnight, you had lost all passion for life and goal to strive for!
Heavy is the head that wears the crown!
Was this!
The price of being Empress?
Was this!
The feeling of being alone in the world?
The cold wind blew, lifting Luna Porter’s white robe and blowing her bangs into disarray, scattering her hair. Two lines of tears unknowingly spilled from her eyes, wetting her fair, delicate, beautiful cheeks!
“At least…”
After a while, an inaudible voice issued from between Luna Porter’s lips, “At least I still have my child…”
That’s right!
Luna Porter had lost everything that was once hers, but her child had survived through her plans and could accompany her!
So!
Luna Porter took a deep breath and turned to walk down the ninety-five jade steps, heading straight for the Imperial Bedchambers opposite.
“Sean!”
“Sean!”
As soon as she entered the Imperial Bedchambers, Luna Porter quickened her pace. Her voice already rang out before she arrived.
Sean!
Unbeknownst to others, Luna Porter had already picked out a name for her child in advance – Sean Porter!
Sean Porter!
Hearing hurried footsteps and Luna Porter’s voice suddenly, Sean, who was in the room after getting the whole story from the young woman, instantly got a fright upon hearing “Sean”!
What the hell?!
How could this be???
Sean’s expression drastically changed as he unconsciously thought: “Could it be… my whereabouts have been exposed? Discovered by that madwoman Luna Porter? How is that possible?!”
“Moreover… Sean, my ass! Sean your granny! Sean your grandfather!”
Disgusting!
Hearing such an intimate appellation from Luna Porter’s mouth made Sean shocked and nauseated!
What made Sean even more nauseated was still to come. As the footsteps drew nearer, Luna Porter’s mouth did not stop, calling out as she walked: “Sean?”
“Sean?”
“My little Sean? My little darling…”
Ugh!
Sean almost threw up, truly… just shy of it!
Damn!
Does she still want face? Huh? Does she still want face?!
The next moment!
A figure in white robes charged into the room recklessly, almost tripping over one of the unconscious young women at the door. Luna Porter staggered a few steps before looking down. Her expression drastically changed at the sight before raising her head to look inside the room. Her gaze just happened to meet Sean’s, full of disgust and eyes cold as frost!
Their eyes met!
In that instant, the air in the room seemed to freeze…
