"Mother! You..."
Yekawa Sagya had no idea what words could form her feelings at this moment.
Complex, and somewhat uneasy.
"I know you have many questions, but some things, I don't want to tell you now!"
Yekawa Kyoko saw her daughter's unease, sighed softly, as if having made a decision, and then looked at Ye Ming: "If it weren't for your appearance, perhaps I would never have told those things!"
In Yekawa Kyoko's words, for some reason, Ye Ming heard a trace of inexplicable sadness.
"Auntie! You have had contact with immortal cultivators before, haven't you?"
Ye Ming said solemnly.
Whether it was the incomplete immortal cultivation technique she practiced, or the fact that she recognized spatial sealing at a glance, it all indicated that Yekawa Kyoko knew about the path of immortal cultivation.
"You are correct!"
Yekawa Kyoko's eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze filled with obvious hatred, and she said coldly, "If I hadn't accidentally encountered them back then, how could I be like this now?"
As soon as she said this, the atmosphere in the room instantly froze. Everyone could feel that Yekawa Kyoko must have gone through extremely painful torment when she said these words.
Moreover, the hatred she displayed was incredibly intense.
Clearly!
The immortal cultivators she encountered back then must have left her with bad memories.
"Mother!"
Yekawa Sagya tightly gripped Yekawa Kyoko's emaciated hand, her eyes reddening slightly.
She could feel that her mother must be in great pain at this moment.
It was even as if her heart had been riddled with holes.
Ye Ming looked at the mother and daughter clinging to each other, his fists unconsciously clenched. In the depths of his pupils, dark clouds were intertwining.
Although Yekawa Kyoko had not yet explained what exactly happened back then, judging by her expression and recalling the incomplete immortal cultivation technique, Ye Ming already had a general idea.
Meanwhile, Nangong Qianyu, a woman herself, felt an overwhelming sense of oppression after hearing Yekawa Kyoko's words. Unconsciously, a hint of coldness appeared in her beautiful eyes.
"Sagya! Do you know why I have been doing everything I could all these years, even if it meant you would hate me, to make you stronger?" Yekawa Kyoko looked at her daughter, gently stroking her face, her expression softening a bit.
Yekawa Sagya first shook her head. But then, she quickly nodded, biting her lip, not speaking.
"I know! You must have hated me!"
Yekawa Kyoko closed her eyes, recalling the scenes of her training Sagya ruthlessly. Looking at the small figure that crawled out of pools of blood each time, her eyes also became a little moist.
"Your childhood was only accompanied by blood and death. My indifference left you with no one to talk to. Every day, all you faced was the icy blood blade and endless killing." Yekawa Kyoko opened her eyes, her vision now blurred, and she chuckled self-mockingly, "It's only right that you hate me."
"No! No! I have never hated you!"
Yekawa Sagya grasped her mother's hand, shaking her head desperately, and cried, "I know you cried silently every night! I understand all of this."
"I also know very well that you must have had a reason to treat me this way. Therefore, even though I was surrounded by death, I never hated you." Yekawa Sagya said with a pleading gaze, "I only hope that one day, you can tell me everything. Even if I can't change anything, I want to bear it with you."
"Tell me, Mother!"
At this moment, Yekawa Sagya's vision was completely blurred by tears.
These words had been buried in her heart for ten years.
Now, she had finally spoken them.
Looking at her daughter's heartbroken and pleading gaze, Yekawa Kyoko reached out and wiped away the cold tears that kept falling.
However, she did not answer. Instead, she shifted her gaze to Ye Ming, her eyes becoming sharp.
"Mr. Ye! I will ask you only one question!"
At this moment, Yekawa Kyoko's address to Ye Ming had changed.
The title "Mr. Ye" represented a great deal.
And for Ye Ming, all of this was unimportant. Because in her sharp gaze, he saw her protection and love for Yekawa Sagya.
"Auntie! I know what you want to ask!"
Ye Ming stepped forward, came to Yekawa Sagya's side, squatted down, took her hand, and said in a deep voice, "I promise you, with me here, no one will be able to harm Sagya. No matter who it is, if they dare to have the slightest thought of harming Sagya, I will utterly destroy them, blocking their hundred cycles of reincarnation."
This!
This was Ye Ming's answer.
Feeling the tightening grip in her hand, Yekawa Sagya's heart calmed down. As long as this man was by her side, she would no longer be the bloodthirsty demon that everyone feared, but a little woman willing to be protected.
"I understand!"
Looking at the determined young man before her, Yekawa Kyoko's words, which had been heading in another direction, ultimately turned into a shake of her head and were swallowed back.
With this promise!
It was enough!
However, Yekawa Kyoko's gaze then shifted, looking at Nangong Qianyu not far behind Ye Ming.
"And this little girl?"
Her tone gradually turned cold again.
The meaning of her words was self-evident.
Since you have chosen to give my daughter a promise, what about this one?
Seeing Yekawa Kyoko look at her, Nangong Qianyu instinctively lowered her head. But then, she raised it again, meeting her gaze.
In her beautiful eyes, the word "resolute" was clearly written.
"Hmm?"
Nangong Qianyu's action surprised Yekawa Sagya.
But at this moment, Ye Ming, as the man, would not let Nangong Qianyu face Yekawa Kyoko alone.
He beckoned to Nangong Qianyu, who understood immediately and, without hesitation, came to his side.
Ye Ming held Yekawa Sagya with his left hand and Nangong Qianyu with his right, and the meaning he wanted to convey was already very clear.
"You... what are you trying to do?"
Seeing Ye Ming's actions, Yekawa Kyoko's expression darkened, and she said indifferently, "Are you telling me, right in front of me, that you want my daughter and another woman to share one husband?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene became deathly silent.
Even Yekawa Sagya's palms began to sweat.
She knew that her mother was truly angry.
Just as she was about to try and mediate, Ye Ming spoke.
He looked directly into Yekawa Kyoko's cold eyes, raised the hands he held on both sides, and said seriously, without any hesitation, "They are both my women, and this is an unchangeable fact. Therefore..."
"I want them all!"
