An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad

Chapter 95

“It’s been half a year since us father and son last met!”

Yang Chen, you bastard!

Li Hao gritted his teeth in anger, his fists clenched tightly, nails digging into his flesh. But he still forcefully endured it.

“Hmph!”

With a cold snort, Li Hao turned and left the palace.

“Brother Chen, this chicken soup is really good, let me have another bowl! This is made by Hao’er for his little brother! As the mother, I should drink more!”

Zhao Shirou was clearly very happy that Li Hao voluntarily brought the chicken soup. Her charming face radiated happiness.

As she spoke, she prepared to pour herself another bowl.

“Ah!”

Suddenly, Zhao Shirou let out a painful cry.

“What’s wrong Shiru?” Yang Chen hurriedly supported her and said.

Zhao Shirou’s face turned deathly pale.

“Brother Chen, my stomach, it hurts so much!” Zhao Shirou said in a trembling voice. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

“Shiru, you’re a Nascent Soul cultivator! How can your stomach be hurting?” Yang Chen said puzzledly.

“Is the child kicking you? No, it can’t be! It’s only six months along!” Zhao Shirou said, and quickly sat cross-legged on the ground. She began circulating her true qi to examine her body internally. Just a moment later, she opened her eyes.

“Brother Chen, I, I’ve been poisoned! The toxicity is directly threatening the fetus in my womb! This poison is so potent, I can’t even control it!” Zhao Shirou’s voice carried panic.

With her Seventh stage Nascent Soul cultivation, she was unable to expel the poison. If the poison spread to the fetus in her womb. Then the child would …

“Shiru, don’t panic! First think about whether you ate anything? Find the source of the poison first!”

Yang Chen guided her at this time.

“Ate something? Source of the poison?” Zhao Shirou paused.

Then, she looked at the chicken soup beside her. Immediately, her beautiful eyes widened.

“It’s Hao’er! It’s him!” Zhao Shirou’s voice was filled with sadness and grief.

“Hao’er poisoned it! He actually poisoned me! I should have realized it earlier, ever since I got pregnant, he’s looked gloomy whenever he saw me! Yet he suddenly brought me nourishing chicken soup! I thought he had come around, but it turned out to be an attempt to poison my child! Li Hao, that beast, I raised him for decades, yet he treats me like this!”

***

Zhao Shirou’s eyes were filled with grief and regret.

“Brother Chen, it’s all my fault! I didn’t expect Hao would be so insanely cruel! He actually poisoned me, his own mother! All these years, I raised him like my own son! But he treated me like this! If anything happens to our child, I will never forgive him! Brother Chen, I’m so sorry!”

Zhao Shirou’s voice choked up as tears gradually slid down her cheeks.

Yang Chen gently stroked her face, wiping away her tears.

“Don’t worry Rou’er, nothing will happen with me here! Hao’er went too far! I didn’t expect he would poison you, his own mother! I was careless and didn’t check the chicken soup!”

Yang Chen said softly, comforting her.

[Ding! Li Hao poisoned his mother Zhao Shirou, causing her to resent him. The mother-son relationship has strained. Li Hao, the Son of Destiny, has lost 2000 points of Providence Luck. Host has gained 2000 VPs!]

The system voice sounded.

Yang Chen’s heart bloomed with joy.

Another 2000 VPs gained. Hao’er, ah, Hao’er. You truly live up to being your father’s good son.

“Brother Chen, I’ll go capture Hao’er! Force him to hand over the antidote! This is our child, we can’t let anything happen to it!” Zhao Shirou said, trying to get up.

But Yang Chen stopped her.

“Rou’er, you’re a Seventh stage Nascent Soul realm cultivator with the Profound Yin Physique! This poison left even you powerless, it must be extremely potent! Hao’er is just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he may have found the poison, but not necessarily the antidote!”

“Then what do we do?” Zhao Shirou suddenly panicked.

Feeling the poison nearing her abdomen.

Zhao Shirou choked out: “But this is our child! If anything happens to it, I don’t want to live either!”

Yang Chen held her in his embrace.

Speaking softly: “There is a way, Rou’er! You forgot, I refined a dragon bone! Outside the Northern Spiritual Realm, there are dragon clans, the overlords of the Demonic Race! Legend has it the true dragon essence, the quintessence of yang, can dispel all yin and cold poisons!”

“True dragon essence?” Zhao Shirou was stunned, then asked: “Brother Chen, do you have any?”

Yang Chen nodded.

“The dragon’s spine is its most important bone, I fused with it, causing great changes in my body! My blood has turned golden! Of course I have true dragon essence!”

Hearing this, Zhao Shirou rejoiced.

Urgently saying: “Then quickly give me your essence! About that …”

The corner of Yang Chen’s mouth curved into an amused smile.

He patted Zhao Shirou’s head.

“Rou’er, let’s go to your bedchambers in the side palace! It wouldn’t be good if a palace maid suddenly walked in here!”

Upon hearing this, although anxious, Zhao Shirou understood. The true dragon essence was obviously Yang Chen’s.

Her face immediately flushed red.

She couldn’t help giving Yang Chen a glare. But still quickly pulled him into the bedchambers of the side palace.

Meanwhile, after leaving Zhao Shirou’s palace, Li Hao went straight to the.

But as soon as he entered the Tianyang Hall.

He froze.

Because someone dared to sit on the dragon throne, which only he, the sovereign, was allowed to sit on.

“Courting death!”

Li Hao’s previously smug expression instantly darkened.

The dragon throne symbolized imperial authority.

Representing supreme, unmatched power.

As the ruler, he absolutely would not allow his majesty to be defiled or challenged.

Daring to sit on the dragon throne was a crime punishable by dismemberment and extermination of nine clans.

“You dare sit on My dragon throne! Don’t you know this crime requires exterminating nine clans? Get off of it now!” Li Hao roared angrily.

The figure on the dragon throne was reading a memorial tablet, not showing his face.

As Li Hao spoke, he looked up.

Li Hao was stunned.

“Li Jun? You have such audacity! I’ve long seen your disloyal heart! You actually dared to sit on My dragon throne privately, are you trying to rebel and usurp the throne?” Li Hao said sternly, his voice full of majestic authority.

But Li Jun’s face was full of disdain.

“Tsk! Li Hao, your cultivation is weak, yet you put on such airs! A mere Foundation Establishment realm cultivator, daring to be so arrogant before my Golden Core cultivation!”

“You! You dare speak to Me this way! Such nerve!”

Li Hao was stunned, his face darkening like water, filled with killing intent.

During the enthronement ceremony, Li Jun was respectful and courteous.

He even suggested paying respects to the Queen Mother.

Li Hao originally thought Li Jun had completely submitted.

Never expecting his hidden disloyalty ran so deep.

“Such nerve? Hmph, I’ve always had big guts!”

Li Jun rose from the dragon throne, slowly approaching Li Hao.

“This throne was meant to be mine! When Father was alive, he prepared to make me the Crown Prince! If not for your mother being the Holy Son’s woman, how could you become the sovereign? Heh, I envy that Holy Son, since your mother is truly a beauty of unmatched grace and charm, tsk tsk!”

“You’re seeking death!” Li Hao’s eyes burned with killing intent, no longer able to tolerate this.

He threw a punch filled with imperial might straight at Li Jun’s head.

But Li Jun easily caught his punch brimming with regal power.

Then, with a surge of inner qi, He sent Li Hao flying with a palm strike, coughing up blood.
