Heavenly Opposers

Looking at the deep dark color with a hint of crimson, Xiao had a headache on how to deal with it, the power over death is not something simple, there was a saying the fourth heaven about the shrine of death: 'one could make an enemy of anybody but the shrine of death, if you do, you would not be able to rest even in death!'

And that was the truth, with the power over death they would be able to bring whom they killed back to life essentially making that person you slave, necromancy is a very common path of the shrine of death, making it so that even after death you would faithfully serve the one that killed you, it's not taken in well by the others of the cultivation world

In fact, there was once a purge initiated by the Goddess of the living temple on eradicating them and what followed was an utter crushing battle where the ones who fought only ended up becoming nourishment and power for the Shrine of Death, ever since then no one had tried to question the standing of it

It was a good thing that the Shrine of Death didn't have any interest in expanding or any motive of growing more power, since they thrived from death, it was not easy to find subordinates for them, well leaving aside its history, if he was ever found to have this element, he would definitely kiss his laid back life goodbye

Coming out of his thoughts, Xiao shook his head as he looked at his mother who was looking at him worriedly, seeing it he chuckled as he spoke to his mother with calm words

"Don't worry mother, I have no plan on taking this path, plus looking at the density I could see that my affinity with death is not high as fire, so it's a no go"

Hearing my words Yun Lan sighed with relief, even though she knew that her son was smart she was afraid that he would choose the path of death, after all one who walks this path would definitely be more powerful and amazing but the dangers accompanying them is not worth it

She was afraid that her son in his greed would choose this path, Xiao had hidden it well but Yun Lan still had felt the great desire for power from her son, she didn't know the reason for it but she could tell that his desire was very high but when she heard his words she could finally sigh with relief but then her expression twisted

She knew that only the ones that carry the bloodline of that shrine could have the element of death, slowly worry began to fill her heart as she looked at her son, she knew that he was smart but she worried that he would think that his mother was not a faithful woman, meanwhile, Xiao who saw his mothers face relieved of worry only to soon be filled with dread

At first, he was confused at such behavior but after he thought it over for some time it clicked, his mother was fearful of what he thought about her! he knew that he was a child and his mother must have thought that as a child even a genius, his thinking might get worse of her, smirking Xiao looked calmly at his mother as he called out

"Mom"

Hearing his call Yun Lan quickly broke out of her trance only to be met with her son calm smile, somehow seeing it her heart filled with anxiety calmed down, she didn't know how her child could calm her down but seeing his deep black eyes which shined with a bright white light, her heart seemed to calm on its own, seeing that his mother had become calm he spoke

"Mother are you worried that I might think that you cheated on father?"

"No-I"

Yun Lan tried to speak but before she could Xiao did with a trusty smile

"Don't worry mother, how could you do such a thing below you? I know that you don't love your father but cheating on him is below you, you are too prideful to do such a task, moreover, I know that you are not that kind of woman mother..."

"You are amazingly talented and beautiful, moreover you would always be mine and Xuanyin's loving mother and that would never change"

​ Hearing her sons words tears suddenly came gushing out of Yun Lan's eyes, at that moment she didn't care that the words and the thinking of her son does not match his age, all she cared about was the trust and familial love that filled her son's eyes, she could see her sons at most respect and love towards her and see if she couldn't help but have a smile of her own

"Mother are you okay?"

Xiao asked as he walked up to his mother along with Xuanyin, seeing it Yun Lan opened her eyes as she hugged both her children, at first Xuaunyin wanted to dodge but she felt her brother holding her, so she joined the family hug, after a few minutes Yun Lan broke the hug as she wiped the tears in her eyes, with a pout she pinched Xiao's cheeks again

"Will you look at this making your mother cry so much in one day, what a bad son you are~"

Feeling his cheeks being pinched a second time in one day, Xiao could only relent as he accepted his mothers 'punishment', seeing his son give up Yun Lan smiled cheekily as she played around with his cheeks for some time, after some time she finally let Xiao go as he walked back into his sofa, as he sat on it without a second later Xuanyin came up to him and sat on his lap as she wrapped her arms around him and laid her head on his chest

For the past years she has been getting more closely with him but he doesn't mind, Xiao only takes it as his sister spending time with him, since she doesn't have any other friends, he just finds it cute to indulge her, alas if only he knew that one day this same sitting position would cause him a lot of headaches

After finally getting comfortable he finally looked towards his mother, who spoke to him

"I was really surprised when you chose the element of fire, it would seem that my son had grown up before my eyes, aye~~what would this lonely mother of yours do~~~"

Xiao ignored his mother's antics that would cause any other person who knew Yun Lan to drop their jaws in surprise, while Yun Lan seems positive and playful in front of her children, she has another name that brings fear to others, and that was the 'Ice Devil'!
