Chapter 1286: Chapter 1274: Father and Son Reunited, The Choice Between Love and Vengeance
Long Jing lunged to the edge of the pit, looking at Yang Xiao’s Beast Soul Godzilla, she cried out in agony:
"Yang Xiao, please don’t, don’t kill my father, I’m begging you!"
Yang Xiao turned his head to look at Long Jing, whose face was covered in tears, and his heart suddenly trembled.
Godzilla, with its huge claws, was treading on the Dragon Soul of the Emperor of Great Dragon and said:
"Jing’er, I’m sorry, your father and your brother killed tens of billions of people on Earth, killed my father, mother, brother, sister, relatives, and friends, this sea of blood and deep hatred, I cannot not avenge it.
Ever since the great catastrophe on Earth, since they forced me to Purple Origin Star to be a miner slave, I have endured humiliation to survive, constantly thinking about revenge. Today, I must kill him to seek justice for our tens of billions of compatriots from Earth who perished."
Long Jing’s body trembled, she cried out in a hoarse voice:
"Yang Xiao, I beg you, don’t kill my father, follow you to the ends of the earth, I will stay by your side forever, never leaving you, okay?
We can return to Earth, I will go back to Earth with you, live happily together, you love me, right?"
Yang Xiao’s heart trembled again,
"Jing’er, yes, ever since I met you on Earth, I have always loved you, missed you, dreaming of being together with you."
"As long as you spare my father, I will follow you, I love you too, have always loved you, even if you have other women outside, my heart will still love you, I’m begging you, don’t kill him."
Yang Xiao shook his head,
"I’m sorry, Jing’er, I can do anything for you, even give up my life, but this is the one thing I cannot agree to, you and I are destined to meet without a future together."
"Yang Xiao, I beg you, don’t kill my father, I will listen to anything you say, always follow you, okay?"
Long Jing said, her body softened, and she directly knelt on the ground.
Seeing the woman he loved kneeling in front of him, begging him in front of all the bigwigs of Witch Star, Yang Xiao felt a sharp pain in his heart.
The Emperor of Great Dragon was at this moment firmly pressed under Godzilla’s foot, with Godzilla’s sharp claws deeply embedded in his body, making him unable to move.
He had heard the conversation between Long Jing and Yang Xiao just now, affirming the suspicions he had.
The Emperor of Great Dragon let out a howl, struggling to shout:
"Jing’er, stand up, don’t plead with him, our Great Dragon King Clan is noble, we have roamed unchallenged on Witch Star for hundreds of years, how can we kneel and beg before an Earth miner slave?
Even if father dies, it doesn’t matter, take good care of yourself, after I die, you will succeed to the throne of the Great Dragon Empire, lead the empire well, remember, my daughter!"
"No, father, you can’t die, I can’t see you die!"
Long Jing cried out, pleading with Yang Xiao,
"Yang Xiao, I’m begging you, spare my father, as long as you do, I can be your slave, serving you all my life, never regretting."
Seeing his beloved woman in such painful sorrow, Yang Xiao’s heart was already broken.
The onlookers were also moved.
Although everyone didn’t really like the Emperor of Great Dragon, seeing him now covered in wounds, pinned under the enormous Godzilla, unable to move, in a pitiful state nearing death.
Watching Long Jing like a tearful flower, painfully kneeling and pleading with Yang Xiao, such filial piety moved countless people.
However, besides sighing, not a single person was willing to step forward to persuade Yang Xiao,
after all, Yang Xiao’s hatred was too profound, something outsiders could not fathom.
Everyone also heard Long Jing and Yang Xiao’s conversation, finally understanding their intimate relationship.
Turns out they were lovers.
Alas, how bitter for the two of them!
If Yang Xiao kills the Emperor of Great Dragon, it’s likely these deeply loving lovers will never be able to be together in this life.
Yang Xiao glanced at Long Jing, his eyes moistening, he choked out resolutely:
"Jing’er, I’m sorry, in this life I can only fail your deep love, if there is anything I can do to compensate, in the future I promise to make it up to you."
Godzilla roared furiously, addressing the Dragon Soul underfoot:
"Emperor of Great Dragon, justice will be served, prepare to die!"
Godzilla opened its giant mouth, biting towards the Dragon Soul’s neck.
Long Jing saw this and screamed with heart-wrenching pain:
"Yang Xiao, no, you can’t kill him, he’s your son’s grandfather!"
"Buzz!"
Yang Xiao’s mind buzzed, his giant mouth suddenly froze, eyes fixed straight at Long Jing.
Not only Yang Xiao, everyone present was stunned, looking dumbfounded at Long Jing.
What’s going on?
So confusing!
Long Jing had already become a crying mess, her eyes looked at Yang Xiao through tears,
"Yang Xiao, do you remember... that night on Earth?"
Yang Xiao looked at Long Jing, nodding blankly.
"After I came back, I, I got pregnant, I, I gave birth to our child, he’s your son."
Yang Xiao was completely flabbergasted,
"Jing’er, what are you saying? I don’t understand, you say we have a son together? How can this be?"
"It’s true, Yang Xiao, I’m not lying to you,"
Long Jing suddenly stood up, calling out to the crowd:
"Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan,"
"Princess, I’m here."
From the crowd far away, Long Jing’s maid Xiao Lan came forward with a six or seven-year-old little boy.
Though the little boy looked only six or seven, he was extraordinary, handsome in appearance, with a notable resemblance to Yang Xiao.
"Mom!"
The little boy saw Long Jing, shouted and rushed over, falling into Long Jing’s embrace.
Long Jing hugged the little boy, then held his hand, took a few steps forward, and said to Yang Xiao:
"Yang Xiao, take a look yourself, doesn’t he resemble you a bit?"
Yang Xiao had already noticed that this little boy did indeed resemble him somewhat.
The features of Witch Star people and those from Earth had some differences, and the boy’s appearance clearly showed he was of mixed heritage, not a pure Witch Star person.
Yang Xiao was genuinely surprised as he looked at the little boy.
Long Jing held the boy’s hand and said:
"Son, tell uncle what your name is."
The little boy, as part of the Great Dragon King Clan, had seen much following Long Jing. Although there were two Giant Beasts battling in the pit ahead, he knew it must be the Beast Souls of masters fighting.
The boy looked at the enormous Godzilla and didn’t seem nervous at all, loudly saying:
"My name is Long Xiao!"
Long Jing said:
"Yang Xiao, did you hear that? His name is Long Xiao. You know what this name means, don’t you?"
Long Jing named her son Xiao to remember Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao trembled and asked:
"Jing’er, is everything you’re saying true?"
"Yang Xiao, you can ask those around me, they will tell you when I gave birth to this child. Besides, because I was carrying your child, I had to refuse the Youming Empire Prince’s marriage proposal, which led to a break in the Great Dragon Empire and Youming Empire alliance relationship.
For this matter, my father confined me for two years. These are all facts, and you can verify them."
"Jing’er, I believe you, you—you’ve suffered!"
Yang Xiao felt a wave of bitterness inside. He could imagine what kind of disgrace and pressure a noble princess suddenly becoming pregnant must have endured.
Not to mention that Long Jing destroyed the Great Dragon Empire and Youming Empire’s alliance because of this.
In the distance, the White Elephant Emperor finally realized today what had been a mystery in his heart for years.
The Eldest Prince of the Great Dragon Empire also stood among the crowd in the distance. Seeing Yang Xiao and Long Jing, his heart filled with inexplicable sorrow.
Long Jing held her son Long Xiao’s hand and said gently:
"Son, haven’t you always asked me where your father is? Look, your father is right before your eyes, call him!"
Long Xiao blinked his big eyes, looking at the massive terrifying Godzilla,
"Are you my father?"
Yang Xiao nodded.
"Dad!"
Long Xiao finally called out.
Yang Xiao’s heart suddenly felt a warm wave of happiness.
Long Jing looked at Yang Xiao and said tenderly:
"Yang Xiao, let go of hatred, let’s reunite as a family and never be apart again. Our son needs you, and I miss you too,
Spare my father, I promise he won’t retaliate against you in the future, and I can help you rebuild Earth, okay?
If you kill my father, you’re killing your son’s grandfather. Can you bear to let your son live his whole life steeped in hatred? How can I handle that?
I’ve suffered for you and the child for years, I’ve never asked anything from you, but today I’m asking this one thing, will you agree?"
As Long Jing spoke, tears streamed down.
Seeing his mother cry, Long Xiao said tenderly:
"Mom, don’t cry, don’t cry,"
Then, he turned to Yang Xiao and said:
"Dad, please spare grandpa, killing him will sadden mom!"
Yang Xiao’s heart trembled.
What should he choose?
My god, why give me such a heavy burden?
He already found it difficult to kill her father in front of Long Jing.
Now, he also had to face the decision to kill his son’s grandfather in front of his son.
The son is only about six or seven years old; should I leave him with a lifelong burden of bloody hatred?
Looking at Long Jing’s tears and his son’s hopeful eyes, Yang Xiao’s heart shattered, bleeding.
However, images of Earth’s catastrophic events appeared in his mind, the harsh scenarios where billions were eradicated, houses collapsing at any moment, bodies buried in the rubble of buildings, his dead parents, relatives, and friends.
Yang Xiao sighed deeply.
"Son, look behind you, what is that?"
Long Xiao froze for a moment, turned around, but didn’t find anything unusual.
Long Jing also looked behind her son,
Suddenly, Long Jing’s heart sank, and as she turned her head, she screamed heartbreakingly:
"Yang Xiao, don’t—"
"Crunch!"
Yang Xiao’s Beast Soul Godzilla bit off the neck of the Dragon Soul under the feet of the Great Dragon Emperor.
After the Dragon Soul of the Great Dragon Emperor had its neck bitten off, it instantly reverted to human form, his head tossed aside by Yang Xiao, eyes wide open, filled with terror and helplessness, yet defiance.
The Great Dragon Emperor never imagined he would one day die at the hands of this Earthling Yang Xiao, who was also his son-in-law.
The entire scene was engulfed in shock.
