Chapter 360: Despicable, Not Afraid
Madam Sheng brought the three of them to the ancestral hall of the Sheng family.
On the east side of the central square of Yufu City, there was a fountain lake. On the east side of the lake was an ancestral hall, where all the ancestral tablets of the Sheng family were worshiped.
The ancestral hall was the center of Yufu City. As long as the ancestral hall was not destroyed, Yufu City would not be destroyed.
The surroundings of Yufu City were filled with Beast Tamer guards. All of them had knives on their belts and looked very fierce. Seeing Madam Sheng walk over with the Young Master and the others, the guard leader ran over and bowed to Madam Sheng. “Madam, you’re here.”
“Qingyun, I brought Young Master, Young Madam, and Young Miss in to worship our ancestors.”
“Please go ahead.”
Sheng Qingyun took half a step back before allowing them to enter the ancestral hall.
After entering the ancestral hall, Madam Sheng took out a few Soul Returning Incense from the table. Sheng Xiao and the others each took three incense sticks. They lit them up and knelt in front of the praying mat to pay their respects to their ancestors.
Madam Sheng raised the three incense sticks in her hand and said to the tablets, “Ancestors, there’s a new member of the Sheng family. The girl standing beside me is my daughter-in-law. Her name is Yu Huang, and she’s a very good child. She kowtowed on this one and offered the incense. You have to treat her like your family!”
Madam Sheng’s attitude was arrogant. She seemed quite proud. She seemed to have the intention to stop offering incense if the seniors didn’t treat Yu Huang as family.
After that, Madam Sheng stared at the incense in her hand.
The Soul Returning Incense in her hand burned with wisps of smoke that reached upwards. Seeing this, Mrs. Sheng smiled in satisfaction. “It seems that you’re very satisfied with our new wife.”
Madam Sheng inserted the Soul Restoring Incense into the incense table. Then, she turned around and said to Sheng Xiao and Sheng Yang, “As long as you have a direct bloodline, you can obtain the legacy of the Prime Master. However, not all direct bloodlines can obtain the legacy.”
Her charming eyes swept across Sheng Xiao and Sheng Yang’s faces at the same time. Madam Sheng said frankly, “The stronger the energy, the higher the chance of gaining recognition. Yang Yang, your energy and potential are not as good as your brother’s. The possibility of you obtaining the inheritance is slim.”
Sheng Yang was speechless.
She didn’t have to be so blunt. At least she could have saved her some dignity.
Sheng Yang blushed and muttered, “This result hasn’t even been announced, but you’re already making a conclusion. Maybe Prime Master Tie Feng will see that I’m beautiful and happily give me the inheritance.”
Madam Sheng said expressionlessly, “You’re not as good-looking as your brother.”
Sheng Yang felt exasperated.
She glared at her mother and scolded softly, “Mother, you favor boys over girls!” Sheng Yang held Yu Huang’s hand and wanted to seek justice for herself. “Sister-in-law, tell me, does Mother favor boys over girls?”
Yu Huang frowned slightly and said, “You’re not as strong as your brother and your looks are not as good as your brother’s. This… is all true!”
Sheng Yang was speechless.
“However, Mom doesn’t favor boys over girls. If she really did, she wouldn’t have brought you to the ancestral hall at all. Since she called you both to the ancestral hall, she must treat you equally. However, with your strength, your Mom has to be truthful.”
Yu Huang was telling the truth.
Sheng Yang could not retort, but she refused to admit that she was inferior to her brother. She puffed up her chest and said proudly, “My breasts are bigger than his!”
Sheng Yang raised her chin at Sheng Xiao arrogantly and said unreasonably, “Brother, can you compare to me?”
Sheng Xiao looked at Sheng Yang deeply and replied casually, “My wife’s breasts are bigger than yours.”
Sheng Yang was furious.
“Alright, stop arguing. You should restrain yourself in front of our ancestors.” Mrs. Sheng shook her head. She didn’t understand why she and Sheng Lingfeng gave birth to such an airhead like Sheng Yang.
Sheng Yang was an airhead. She looked cold and arrogant, but she was actually kind and easy to deceive. She was really a child who would never grow up.
Madam Sheng sighed and continued, “Your brother might not get the legacy.”
Sheng Yang instantly felt proud when she heard this. “Right, Father didn’t obtain the inheritance back then, so it’s still unknown if my brother will be able to obtain the inheritance.”
Madam Sheng added, “But your brother is the most likely heir.”
Sheng Yang fell silent again.
In fact, Sheng Yang knew very well that her brother was the most talented Beast Tamer in the history of the Sheng Clan. If even he could not obtain the legacy of Prime Master Tie Feng, then no one in the Sheng Clan would be able to obtain the legacy.
“If you want to obtain Senior Tie Feng’s approval, you will need to cultivate the Bloodline Awakening Technique.”
With that, Mrs. Sheng took out a cultivation technique from her interspatial ring. “This is Bloodline Awakening.”
Yu Huang stared at the cultivation technique and narrowed her eyes. She asked Madam Sheng, “Mother, why do you want to cultivate the Bloodline Awakening Art?”
Madam Sheng looked at Yu Huang and explained very patiently, “After thousands of years of evolution, the bloodline energy of the Sheng family has already weakened. Only by cultivating the Blood Awakening Technique can the bloodline of the Sheng family in your body be awakened. Only juniors who have successfully stimulated the bloodline energy can accept Prime Master Tie Feng’s test. Only those who pass the test can accept the inheritance. Xiao’er, Yang Yang, after you enter the Saint Tomb, you will have to rely on your own abilities to accept the test.”
Sheng Yang and Sheng Xiao stared at the cultivation technique intently.
Yu Huang asked again, “I heard that the sacred bones of the Yin Clan’s two Prime Masters are hidden in the Saint Tomb. I wonder if the Yin Clan also wants to cultivate this Bloodline Awakening Art?”
“Of course. However…” Madam Sheng frowned when she thought of the Yin family’s current situation.” Many years ago, because of Prime Master Yin Mingjue, the Yin family temporarily surpassed the Sheng family and became the number one cultivation family in the Divine Realm Continent. However, with the death of the Prime Master, the Yin family’s glory disappeared. ”
“21 years ago, the Prime Master’s beloved daughter was lost and there’s still no news of her. I’m afraid she’s most likely dead. The bloodline of the Prime Master is completely severed.”
Sheng Xiao glanced at Yu Huang. Coincidentally, Yu Huang was looking at him too. She even shook her head at him.
Sheng Xiao nodded and did not say anything.
Yu Huang asked Madam Sheng again, “Does the Yin family have other direct descendants?”
“Why not?” Mrs. Sheng shrugged and said gloatingly, “Six hundred years ago, there was a playboy in the Yin family. That guy married a lot of wives and had many children. The Yin family has a lot of direct descendants. Perhaps there are still direct descendants of the Yin family out there.”
Yu Huang was a little embarrassed. “That senior from the Yin Clan is quite capable in terms of giving birth.”
“Heh, that old pervert only has that to boast about.”
Yu Huang was rendered speechless by the phrase ‘old pervert’.
“However, no matter how many direct descendants the Yin family has, they’re all useless.” Madam Sheng patted the ashes on her fingertips and said, “The only thing the Yin family can look forward to is the beloved daughter of the Prime Master. That child is gone, and the direct descendants of the Yin family are nothing to be afraid of.”
