The Heavenly Dao System-Chapter 19: Repayment

The moment Ye Qing Lei appeared, it was as if the chaotic battle scene had changed into a beautiful and serene atmosphere.

Everything became peaceful and harmonious.

"Madam!" The guards quickly dropped their activity, went to their knees, and greeted her.

Even the leader of the guard who had been smashed and created the large crater, emerged with a bloody face.

"Forgive our incompetence, Madam." He then pleaded guilty. Despite the assistance of Celestial Tools and Formation, they still failed to produce any trouble for the Elder Dragon.

"No worries. Longzu had been cultivating for a long time and he's not one to fall for your siege." Ye Qing Lei waved her hand and dismissed them. It was clear that she wished to have a private conversation.

The guards, on the other hand, breathed out a sigh of relief and vanished from the scene.

Usually, these guards would be glad to encounter the Madam. But ever since Ye Ming pulled the stunt of venturing elsewhere, the Madam's personality had undergone a fierce change.

At a far distance, one of the guards suddenly said in relief, "It seems like our Madam has returned."

Nodding, the other guards agreed. If it was still the fierce personality, then they would have been subjected to heavy punishment.

"Enough, who are you to gossip about the Madam." The leader suddenly scolded harshly. "Block off the entry and ensure no one distracts the Madam."

"Yes, Leader!"

While the guards regained their composure and began to notify nearby guards about the Madam's presence, they all became rigid.

...

"Longzu, it seems like you have stretched your muscles enough." Ye Qing Lei calmly said.

"Longzu doesn't dare." The Elder Dragon shook his head and remained in his posture. His true name was Longzu, but only a few people could ever address him as such. Most had to address him as Elder or Elder Dragon, with the exception of Ye Ming.

Being called an Old Bone by a youngster, was truly a feeling of shame.

"What don't you dare?" Amused, Ye Qing Lei chuckled in response and turned to Ye Ming. "Son, did you know how imposing Longzu was back in his prime days?"

Having been put on the spot, Ye Ming remained casual and responded. "He's definitely the arrogant and always looking down at others type—just like what I'm doing to him. It's just a shame that he courted death at the wrong target, and ended up in a miserable sight."

Instantly, the Elder Dragon's body trembled slightly. After all, Ye Ming had completely hit the nail on the coffin and described his downfall perfectly.

"Well, he definitely chose the wrong target." Ye Qing Lei giggled and continued, "Back then, I sought after him for his scales to construct armor for you. But he was very rude and impolite—going as far as threatening my life."

"I was wrong..." The Elder Dragon squeaked and his eyes flashed a pitiful sight, almost as if pleading not to tell the story.

However, the more someone doesn't want it to be revealed, the more Ye Ming wants to know.

"Mother, so what happened afterward? You can't leave me hanging on some cliffhanger, right? You won't get bashed for it, but this Old Bone will suffer a thorough bashing in your place." Ye Ming crackled his knuckles and grinned wickedly.

As an author, he knew very well how to utilize cliffhangers to irritate and provoke his readers. They also couldn't do anything to him either when that happened.

How could they harm him physically when they don't even meet? The best they could do was throw a few curses down the comment section or drop a negative review, and that was about it.

But in this situation, the Elder Dragon was right in front of him. He wouldn't even dare to target his mother, but the Elder Dragon was different.

When the Elder Dragon met the menacing gaze from Ye Ming, he nearly wanted to flee.

Thankfully, Ye Qing Lei intervened and convinced him otherwise. "It's his black history, son. Let's save him some dignity since he's your mount now and about to become a nourishment."

With his mother stepping in, Ye Ming could only shrug and drop the matter.

Meanwhile, the Elder Dragon was stupefied by the word nourishment.

"I'm a nourishment?" He pointed at himself and asked in disbelief.

"That's right. So far, my son's action seemed illogical and even a bit perverted, but he's been testing you." Ye Qing Lei smiled.

"My son's memories returned, but not quite assimilated. Despite this, he still wished to repay his maids whom he had left hanging." She continued, her gaze shifting to Qing Lan with an amused look.

In response, Qing Lan lowered her head and dared not meet Ye Qing Lei's gaze.

At the same time, Ye Ming sighed softly and realized he really couldn't conceal the matter from her.

Indeed, since the beginning, he encountered the Elder Dragon and understood he was the source of great nourishment. He wanted to extort him to assist the maids whom he had left aside.

"I assimilated with some memories regarding the people around me. The maids were loyal to me, but their cultivation stagnated too much because of my obsession. It's only right to repay them." Ye Ming explained.

Despite being the Young Master, his obsession to prove his worth to others was extremely strong. It went so far that the term stubborn looked ridiculous to describe his past self.

Meanwhile, Ye Qing Lei didn't say much, but it was clear that she was in pain whenever she recalled his obsession.

"By the way, Mother. You didn't happen to punish them, right?" Ye Ming suddenly asked.

He knew about Cao Meng being in the seclusion abode to repent, but he was unsure whether she did it willingly or was punished for it. If it was the latter, then Ye Ming need to clear this up first. But if it was the former, then he had more redemption work to do.

With this kind of jumbled up problems and messes to resolve, Ye Ming couldn't even have the time to truly inspect the Heavenly Dao System and its features.

'It's a good thing I'm the creator of the system and not the useless slave protagonist who had to stick their tongue out for the system. Otherwise, who knows if I have X mission this and Y mission that, and failure to succeed equals death.' He thought to himself.
