Heavenly Dao Child

As Ryuu's teacher's family's KI rose as they got ready to fight him, while the Empress simply wagged her finger as she spoke with a smirk, "Un Uh, careful causing your KI to rise will be harmful to Ryuu in his current situation especially when the medicine that I feed him would not work properly, and would cause problem later on."

Her words bore fruit immediately as their KI disappeared while Veena looked at her with a look of alarm on her face as she spoke, "What medicine did you feed him?"

"Something that will help Ryuu stabilize his rather unstable Divine body."

Neacht who was nearby could not help but voice out her thoughts out loud, "What do you mean by stabilize? Why would he need stabilization?"Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=11448539305377005)/returning-back-to-ayindril-(part-3)_%!d(string=51696812582561970) for visiting.

"That my dear is because he used a tad bit more of his Divine body that he could handle at his currently level, it has not been a day since the incident as such the symptoms were not that visible but within two months he would have died of having is dantian ruptured."

A stunned silence descended as Ryuu sat up groggily as the Empress spoke with a sweet smile, "That pill causes intense pain as such certain pills are needed to subsidize the pain but your actions angered me as such I did not feed you as such please remember I am not that tolerant next time it will be much more harsher."

Ryuu growled at her as Saidhal spoke with a frown, "If Ryuu fell in love with someone that it is his problem, and who are you to punish him for that, and seeing that woman not present here would certainly mean something happened to her, otherwise Ryuu would have introduced her to his teachers."

The Empress simply smiled as she spoke, "Oh brat if you knew how much I care and how much I had sacrificed for my love, you would not say something like that, though you are right in one instance the girl he was madly in love is dead."

A look of alarm passed through many of their face as Zarina looked at Ryuu with pity as a thought passed her mind, 'So, both him and my daughter shared the same fate.'

Ryuu would have loved to retort but his hoarse throat and the sudden bout of weakness prevented him, as the Empress continued, "Yes the girl had her dantian as well as her spirit branches pulled off her body before being burned to ash."

Antariskh balled her fist as she quickly joined her first and second mothers who were by Ryuu's side trying to console him from his physical and mental pain.

Cezary looked at Ryuu with look akin to pity as he spoke out loud, "Who could do such a horrible thing, first the love of sister and now the woman who was loved by Ryuu it is heinous."

Shamiran nodded as she spoke with a frown, "I concur with nephew that is some heinous way to kill someone, and I believe the murderer is someone from Preta or Deva lok."

"I killed that wench."

A rather hoarse voice came to their ears and as they looked at the source of the said voice it was none other than Ryuu, the hatred and anger in his voice was unreal to some.

As the Empress giggled as she spoke, "That is the only reason I lowered your punishment dear, otherwise I would have made you suffering legendary."

Sylvana could not help but speak out loud, "Can anyone explain what happened, why Ryuu acted as such?"

"Why else the reason is very simple betrayal, Ryuu poured his heart, soul and almost even his body, yet the she backstabbed him literally, drove a dagger through his dantian and left him to die being torn apart by hungry denizens of the fifteenth floor.", the Empress then eyed Sylvana as she spoke with a smirk, "I believe you had similar experience did you not? If I remember your wedding was a great spectacle."

Those words send shivers down her spine as age old memory, memories that she did not wish to remember resurfaced, the memories of her greatest shame, she took a step back as if she was physically struck, only to come to a horrified realization, 'Oh no my baby brother suffered the same fate.'

She knew how cruel it was for someone to have their heart and soul given to someone only to be used and then tossed away like trash, how painful it was and now even after all her brother suffered something so worse as her.

'I was way older than him, but he was so young and he suffered so much, it is so unfair, no I, no we will have to figure something out my brother will not suffer such pain, if I have to say anything.'

Empress's eyes then fell on Zywia as her smile vanished making her parents to stand protectively in front of her, she looked towards them as she spoke with a soft smile, "You do not have to worry about her, I understand her situation better than any of you, the pain of having her loved one torn from her, it is unbearable nothing is more painful than that, please take good care of her, she would need your love and patience more than ever, otherwise she would do some unimaginable."

Many especially those who had interacted with her before were taken aback at that as Celestia could not help but blurt out, "You have a heart."

This cause a scowl to form on her face as she spoke, "Please do not say that I am heartless, for I care for my beloved more than anything in this Universe, to tell you the truth I only care for him, but even then the child's relation with her dead lover reminded me of my time with mine, nothing more nothing less."

She took a small breath before she began to speak, "The wench that managed to charm my beloved was working with the Preta lok, she worked with those from that realm to kidnap prospective cultivators and with such a large bounty became her prime target, she managed to worm her way into her heart, betrayed not only Ryuu but even her martial brother for sake of power, the same brother who she grew up as a child, the same brother who was apparently that traumatized girl's dead lover."

Another sharp intake was heard as Antariskh balled her fist as she spoke, "So how many of those sc.u.m are alive."

An amused look appeared on Empress's face as she spoke, "Oh and what are going to do, charge into the realm and seek them out and kill them."

But, before Antariksh could reply back at the taunt Ryuu spoke again, "None are alive, they are all dead."

Empress shook her head as she spoke, "N o my love one still lives, Ithrura was injured not to mention because she refused to fight you, and her allies harmed her greatly as such she was not present when during your final confrontation."

Ryuu send a question look towards her as Empress spoke with a smirk, "She caught a glimpse of your true face and is madly infatuated with you."

Her words caused Ryuu to let out a tired groan as she spoke with a giggle, "But, on the other hand I would like to congratulate you and warn you that, your bounty would now increase to extraordinary heights after all you single handedly wiped out their army."

Ryuu' shoulder slumped upon hearing that everyone's eyes widen upon hearing that before the feeling of concern awoke in them.

Maheswara stood at the side his mind running thousand miles per second analyzing every bit of information but the latest news made him groan inwardly, 'Perfect just perfect, the number of enemies against him would increase by quite a fold, I will have to somehow convince him to retire from the army, but how, he is as stubborn as a mule.'

Empress then sighed as she spoke, "Well it seems my time is up, I have prior engagements that require my immediate attention so I will leave for now, bye bye, my love."

Ryuu immediately looked up as he spoke in a hurried tone, "Wait!! I have something to ask you."

"What is it that you wish to know my love?"

Ryan then took out a large picture from his space ring as she laid it front of him, as others looked curiously at that, the picture had four people on it, but it was so worn out that two of their faces were barely recognizable but the other two were that of Ryuu and the Empress.

Empress gained a nostalgic look on her face as she spoke, "Ah that brings some memories, the picture it brings back so many memories."

Ryuu gritted his teeth as he asked out loud, "Who are they? If you know them then you must know about that place, where is that, and why was it haunting me."
