Chapter 1799
"And what if you marry Lin'er? Your child will still bear the surname Lin, not Jiang. This is an ancestral precept set by my ancestors in Qilin City."
"Hahaha... I forgot to tell you, you useless man, you don't even have a divine body, while Lin'er has the bloodline of a holy Qilin. Do you think you two can have offspring if you get together?"
……
Sure enough, after the two got married, Lin'er was unable to conceive for a long time.
Even if children are born, they cannot take his surname. What a humiliation this is for a man.
Furthermore, she herself did not possess a divine body, while her son possessed an ancient immortal divine body and was about to break through the shackles of the Heavenly Immortal and Heavenly God realms through cultivation, thus making it impossible for him to bear children.
The matter concerns the inheritance of the sacred Qilin bloodline, which cannot be severed in this generation. Tribes and sects are putting pressure on the child.
She cried countless times behind his back, but she never told him about the pressure and grievances she felt. She only said, "When I become a true immortal, I will be in charge, and no one will dare to speak ill of you then, my husband. Wait for me."
He knows everything, he knows everything.
Guilt, self-blame, deep self-blame.
He also cultivated frantically, but no one expected that soon after, Qilin City would suffer a great upheaval. The old city lord and a group of high-ranking members of the Lin clan all died on the edge of the territory while fighting for divine mine resources.
Lin'er was forced to take over as the lord of Qilin City. She became even busier with tribal affairs and rarely had time to talk to him or resolve the inner demons that were about to grow in his heart.
After Lin'er went out, he was always met with insults from the Lin clan members: "If it weren't for you, the city lord would have already had a new generation of Qilin son with Leilong. If it weren't for you, the old city lord wouldn't have personally gone to the frontier. Jiang Bieli, it's all your fault!"
"waste!"
"You good-for-nothing who lives off a woman!!"
……
Late at night, drunk, he stared blankly at his wife's portrait, and that voice in his heart rang again.
“Jiang Bieli, as long as you become the Lord of Qilin City, all these accusations and insults will disappear.”
"You've wasted half your life, don't you want to prove yourself? You've suffered so much humiliation and injustice... don't you want to live with dignity just once?"
"Everything will be alright once you become the city lord."
"Kill the current city lord, and with your strength, you will definitely be able to take over Qilin City."
"No!! Lin'er is my wife, how could I scheme against him, I can't..."
"Hahaha, Jiang Bieli, I know you best. Ever since you learned that it was your master who destroyed the tribe, your heart has died. She is just a woman. How can a man be held back by a woman? You must prove your worth in this life."
Just as he lost his composure, Lin'er returned.
After seeing his wife, he could no longer hold back and burst into tears. However, during that time they were together, Lin'er finally became pregnant.
After only three years of pregnancy, Lin'er gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
He finally proved that he was not a waste.
Compared to the young girl who was just beginning to experience love, Lin'er is now a seasoned warrior with a mature mind. As the lord of Qilin City, she must follow the ancestral teachings when it comes to her children.
"Lin Yuyao?"
"Lin, Lin Yuqiong...?"
He stared blankly as his wife uttered the names of their children.
He recalled his wife saying that if she became the city lord, she would have the final say in everything.
Lin'er left the child behind and once again represented Qilin City in battles to seize resources.
He was left in Qilin City to raise his children himself.
Another four years have passed.
“Father, Father…” A porcelain doll-like girl rushed into the room, hugged his leg, and looked up at him, asking, “Why is Father’s surname Jiang, while Yuyao’s surname is Lin?”
He felt humiliated every time his children asked him this question.
At the same time, that voice appeared more and more frequently in his mind, and once, under that person's guidance, he almost strangled the daughter in his arms.
He was shocked, terrified...
Similar incidents later nearly killed Lin Yuqiong.
In the end, the only option was to entrust their children to the Grand Elder of Qilin City and have them become his disciples, so that they could keep their distance from their children and reduce their guilt towards them.
Ten years later, Lin'er returned and hugged him, saying, "My husband, after these ten years of fighting, I have grasped the opportunity to become a true immortal. I will begin my tribulation to become a true immortal in a year."
He forced a smile and used his own cultivation as an excuse to neglect his wife, while his wife thought that her husband was complaining about her not returning home for ten years and was also trying his best to prepare for the tribulation.
"Jiang Bieli, what are you waiting for? She's about to become a true immortal. Do you want to live in her shadow for the rest of your life?"
"She possesses an ancient divine body, while your immortal talent has already stalled at the Heavenly Immortal realm. If you hesitate now, you will never have a chance to turn things around. Don't you want your children to take your surname, Jiang?"
"Are you really a complete coward, a spineless freeloader?"
"A son-in-law marrying into the wife's family, a son-in-law marrying into the wife's family... he's not human..."
……
"enough!"
He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with resentment and venom. "No one can stop me, no one can! I, Jiang Bieli, am not a piece of trash!!"
The scene flashed by rapidly. In his final days, he indeed used his understanding of Lin'er to flirt with various women, and was even seen by disciples of the sect on several occasions.
The news eventually reached Lin'er's ears, and she naturally didn't believe it.
On the very day that Lin'er was undergoing the True Immortal Tribulation, in a secluded place, Jiang Bieli appeared directly in front of Lin'er with a beautiful fox spirit. The two of them were barely clothed.
The consequences were predictable: Lin'er failed to overcome the tribulation and barely managed to stay alive thanks to her Holy Qilin Divine Body.
She didn't blame her husband, because from the moment she saw the truth, she knew that her husband was already deeply troubled by inner demons.
Before her death, she summoned her son and instructed him to protect his sister, preserve the bloodline of the Holy Qilin, and wholeheartedly assist his father in restoring the prestige of Qilin City.
The scene freezes on Lin'er's dying words to Lin Yuqiong, while the perspective is Jiang Bieli looking out the window.
"So this is the truth... Mother, Mother..." Lin Yuqiong couldn't hold back her tears after learning about the cause and effect of everything. "Even in death, you never said that Father had harmed you. In fact, to soothe the demons in Father's heart, you defied all opinions and helped Father ascend to the position of city lord before you died!"
"Waaah... Mother, Mother waaah..." Lin Yuyao was held by Chen Xuan, trembling all over, her tears soaking Chen Xuan's robe.
Yu'er, Xin'er, Zi Mo, Tian Xian and the others also had slightly red eyes and felt a sense of oppression in their hearts, as if a huge mountain was pressing down on them and they couldn't breathe.
While sympathizing with Jiang Bieli's tragic life and fate, we are also deeply moved and saddened by Lin'er's infatuation.
Wang Zheng, Lao Dao, and the other four celestial immortals and gods remained silent. If they had been in Jiang Bieli's shoes, they probably wouldn't have done any better than him after experiencing the events of the past few thousand years and everything that happened afterward.
"The Heavenly Immortal's Inner Demon Tribulation is truly terrifying."
"Alas, the path to immortality has come to an end. How difficult it is to break through the shackles and take another step forward," Old Dao sighed. "If he had left calmly back then, with his Dao heart, he might have truly been able to break through and become a true immortal."
“Three calamities and nine tribulations, as the saying goes, calamities are easy to avoid, but tribulations are hard to escape.” Wang Zheng shook his head and said, “His relationship with Lin’er was a major tribulation on his path to immortality in the mortal world. If he could have remained steadfast in his Dao heart and original intention, he might have already achieved the realm of true immortals.”
"Hmph, if the great calamity could be overcome so easily, would it still be called the most heart-wrenching of the nine calamities, the tribulation of love?" the woman in black echoed.
"Alas, no matter what, we and the brilliant Lin'er were all geniuses of the same generation. Now that the truth has come out, it can be considered a result."
