Chapter 320: Spiritual Python

Translator: LiamHW

The old man seemed to quite understand the shock Wu Dahu was expressing, so he just nodded again expressionlessly and said in a low and kind of dispirited voice, “Yes, so that’s why I have no idea over that, if I do have any idea, I would have got out of here now.”

He curled up as his head was on his knees while the helplessness was filled up deeply in his eyes. Such a posture made him look like a fifteen-year-old teenager.

For some reasons, Wu Dahu seemed to recognize a familiar figure on the old man’s image. While frowning tighter, he asked in a low voice, “The man who guards outside, is he your relative as well?”

“The guard?” the old man repeated, embarrassed, lowering his head, “He is the son of the Saint Son too…”

Upon hearing that, Wu Dahu felt numb in the head as his pupils shrank all of a sudden. The feeling was like he just drank a whole bowl of strong liquor and later the numbness ran through all over his body from head to toe.

What on the earth was going wrong with all these matters?

He swallowed hard and found that his throat was now so tight that he even couldn’t make the swallowing smooth. And he struggled to utter, “NO WAY! Don’t tell me that people here are all his sons, like the biological ones?”

Noticing that Wu Dahu did not believe that, the old man did not bother to explain further but nodded instead, “True, the biological, but not all. See those who lie on the operation bed? They are all indeed the biological sons of his.”

Wu Dahu sighed out of relief as he heard the first half of the old man’s words, but almost choked himself by his saliva as he heard the latter part. ALL? What the heck?

“Hey, wait, what, what did you say? Where, where did he get so many sons from?”

He had just claimed that Muye had at least murdered over hundred people. And now all the victims died under his scheme turned out to be his own sons?

Of course he did not mean that Muye was allowed to deprive all the men’s lives once they were proved to be his biological sons. It was just that the fact was so hard for the onlookers to accept.

While they were talking, a snake suddenly sneaked in from nowhere and stayed aside by the old man’s feet. The old man opened his mouth as if was about to say something, but at the end he did not bother to say anything further and waved to Wu Dahu, sighing, “Go back to your room, it’s late night now.”

Wu Dahu intended to ask further at first, yet he could obviously feel that the old man had already sealed his mouth up tightly with no more willingness to talk.

He had no idea whether it was related to the arrival of the snake or not. Anyway, the entire communication should came to an end today. The information he got so far would definitely cost him a long while to investigate, so he did not require that much but turned around and decided to leave quietly.

But before he left the place, he still couldn’t help but ask, “Do you know how the Saint Son punish someone in normal occasion? My husband is currently under his punishment.”

The old man paused after hearing that, and he then answered in a plain tone, “Don’t worry about that. That python is very spiritual, it treats you the way you treat it. And obviously your husband is not that kind of man who behaves brutally.”

The ‘python’? Wu Dahu was utterly shocked when he heard the word, but was then confused after the old man’s explanation.

It indeed made sense that python was non-poisonous, and no one would get hurt from it as long as it was never the human’s mistake to provoke first. So in this logic, Song Qinghan seemed to be quite safe?

He pondered for a brief moment, nodded to the old man and then rushed back to his room.

Even though Yuan Wenxuan was quite exhausted, he refused to get to bed because he was kind of concerned about Song Qinghan. And when Wu Dahu finally got back to the room, he couldn’t help but looked at Wu Dahu desperately as if to show his sincere eagerness to know everything.

Wu Dahu did not choose to hold out on Yuan Wenxuan, yet he did ask the boy to have a mental preparation at first before he was about to tell the truth.

Although Yuan Wenxuan was already mentally prepared, he still couldn’t help but open his eyes wide. He was so shocked standing there as if he was struck by lightning at that moment.

In recalling the looks of those men who lay on the operation bed, Yuan Wenxuan believed that what the old man confessed was indeed a truth. He then murmured, dazzled, “No wonder… No wonder those men look alike from some appearance features, it turns out to be this way…”

It was reasonable that Wu Dahu still suspected the old man by confessing so, he did not witness those pitiful men by his own after all. But since Yuan Wenxuan said so, he almost believed that it was in fact a truth. He just could not understand why.

Why was there someone so vicious existing in this world? Not to mention the way how he got so many sons in his life, it was so cruel that someone even used his biological sons to make deadly experiments. It was just… WAY AGAINST MORALITY!

On the other side, Yuan Wenxuan got another way of thinking as he knew something about medicine. He frowned and then clapped his hands while uttering, “So that’s why the rejection was so slight for Muye, it turns out that all the men has a blood tie with him. Well, he is rather smart anyway.”

No matter what original intention Muye had at the very early stage, everything tended to meet his desire at the end.

The two were both silent the next moment, seemingly both of them were viewing this matter in different angles.

A loud crash of the iron door awakened Song Qinghan from his sleep, he raised his head in a daze. And then he stood up and walked out after the man outside waved at him.

But before he left the ‘prison’, he couldn’t help but turn his head to the deeper dark inside. The python was dwelling there but was so vigilant and sensitive that it turned its head over to stare at Song Qinghan with its pair of red triangle eyes, and it started to wriggle, rustling.

Song Qinghan nodded to the creature as if to bide farewell to it, and then he left the ‘prison’ led by the man in front without turning his head back.

He, anyway, should thank the python for letting him discover a big secret here.

Muye seemed to have not been that cruel, he did not even ask Song Qinghan to go to the operation room after he was released. Instead, he let him back to the room where Wu Dahu and Yuan Wenxuan stayed.

Breakfast was served and was delivered by the same old man, yet the decadency on his face grew even deeper which made Wu Dahu believe that he might make suicide at any time.

He didn’t quite understand why this old man would be dispirited like that previously, but now he totally understood and couldn’t help but start showing sympathy for him.

He who got a father irresponsible like that would never get a happy life for sure.

Noticing that the snake was not aside by the old man currently, Wu Dahu couldn’t help but get closer to him and whisper, “Even though he gets bunch of sons, they will be run out one day at the end. What’s he going to do if that happens?”

The old man chuckled slightly, while placing his hands on his own back and putting on a smile in seeming irony, “That’s why the heaven worship ritual exists…”

He left the room decisively after answering Wu Dahu’s question. Even though Wu Dahu wanted to ask further, he just refused to turn.

Song Qinghan, who was having the porridge right now, paused and then uttered with a complicated mood, “Seems like we have to put all our eggs in one basket now. Whether we can get rid of here or not, it will all depend on the heaven worship ritual.”

The clue of the ritual stuff was exposed from that old man, so naturally Wu Dahu hadn’t connected it with other matters yet. Seeing that Song Qinghan was with great determination by saying that, he pondered for a moment and then suddenly answered, “You mean, he’s going to be busy that day?”

He wanted to ask the old man about the connection between the ritual and having bunch of kids at first. But now, after a meticulous thought over it, he figured out that having kids did not necessarily require the heaven worship ritual. Although he had no idea where Muye could get so many femina men from, he knew that it wouldn’t be an easy day for this guy if he was eager to have more biological kids.
