Chapter 838: Chapter 0838: In front of his mother-in-law, he and she did this

Mother Zhu’s and Zhu Zishan’s lives were both saved by Luo Yang.

Based on this debt of gratitude alone, Mother Zhu should satisfy Luo Yang’s request.

However, with her husband’s life and death still unclear, if one day he truly were to return, then she would be unable to explain herself to her husband.

Whoever holds the Blood Devil item typically becomes the Sect Leader.

If Luo Yang were to take the Blood Devil item, then he would become the Sect Leader at that time.

Thinking that her husband might blame her, Mother Zhu thus has many reservations.

The Zhu mother and daughter hold two lines of thought.

One believes that the husband is only temporarily missing and will return one day.

The other feels that their father has been harmed by someone and will never return.

With differing thoughts, their actions are naturally different.

Mother Zhu is waiting for her husband’s return; Zhu Zishan, on the other hand, is eager to seek help for revenge.

In Zhu Zishan’s heart, she’s more inclined to believe that her father’s disappearance is the doing of someone within the Blood Devil Sect.

Aside from a few Elders and others, there are no others capable of striking at the Sect Leader.

And considering that the two Elders want to pry the whereabouts of the Blood Devil item from their lips, Zhu Zishan is even more convinced that the Elders have something to hide.

"Mother, Niu Zai only wants to cultivate the Ferocious Power." Zhu Zishan chimed in to help.

Mother Zhu glanced sideways at her daughter with annoyance.

"I’ve already said that the Blood Devil item isn’t for just anyone to see," Mother Zhu reiterated.

"Mother, you say it’s not for just anyone to see, then do Elder Chang Zhenzi and Wuweizi have the right to see it?" Zhu Zishan questioned.

This question stumped Mother Zhu, and she fell into silent contemplation.

Zhu Zishan pressed her advantage: "Niu Zai is our family’s savior. Allowing him to take the Blood Devil item to cultivate the Ferocious Power is only beneficial to us and can’t be bad. If father knew about it, he wouldn’t blame us either."

Persuading Mother Zhu was the second major step in the plan.

The first small step was for Zhu Zishan to try convincing her mother, and see how it goes.

If successful, they would immediately proceed to the second small step, which is to obtain the Blood Devil item.

The third small step would then be to learn the Ferocious Power.

When it comes to the debt of saving a life, Mother Zhu also lacks the courage to refuse Luo Yang.

If it were a million dollars or a chest of gold, Mother Zhu wouldn’t hesitate to gift it to Luo Yang as a token of gratitude.

But the Blood Devil item is no small matter; it’s not only used for cultivating the Ferocious Power but also a symbol of the Sect Leader.

Although her husband is said to have disappeared, there is no evidence to prove he is dead.

If the Blood Devil item were given to Luo Yang, then what if her own husband returned, who would be the Sect Leader?

With this in mind, Mother Zhu could only reluctantly find ways to tactfully refuse.

After a moment of pondering, Mother Zhu forced a smile and said: "Niu Zai, it seems that I’ve told you before, you cannot learn the Ferocious Power, no one is willing to teach you."

This had indeed been said before.

But Luo Yang has a way to learn, provided he first gets the Blood Devil item.

"Auntie, don’t worry, I can learn it." Luo Yang confidently stated.

"Niu Zai, I also know of your extraordinary talent in martial arts, but you must have heard the saying that even a clever woman can’t cook without rice. Without a teacher, no matter how smart you are, how can you learn?"

Mother Zhu sneered dismissively.

This argument seems reasonable, but only for ordinary people.

Unfortunately, Luo Yang is no ordinary person.

He smiled lightly and said: "Auntie, you really don’t have to worry about this, I can handle it. As long as I get the Blood Devil item, everything else will be easy."

Mother Zhu scoffed: "Then tell me how you will learn the Ferocious Power?"

Some secrets are better left unsaid, lest they bring unnecessary trouble.

After talking with Mother Zhu for a few sentences, it became clear that she isn’t concerned about whether Luo Yang can learn the Ferocious Power, but is using it as an excuse to refuse giving up the Blood Devil item.

"Mom, if Niu Zai says he has a way, then he probably does," Zhu Zishan stood on the same side as Luo Yang.

"What do you know?!" Mother Zhu flared up.

When her daughter didn’t side with her but instead her future husband, Mother Zhu was half jealous and half angry.

Zhu Zishan was quite unyielding and wanted to argue a few more points, but perhaps not finding the right words for the moment, she held back.

Just as Luo Yang looked over, Zhu Zishan gave him a meaningful glance.

They had previously agreed that if Zhu Zishan couldn’t persuade her mother, Luo Yang would step in.

But no gestures were necessary; Luo Yang still didn’t understand what she was trying to convey.

The atmosphere was a bit tense at the moment.

Simply put, Mother Zhu was unwilling to hand over Blood Devil, seemingly set in her decision.

How to melt Mother Zhu’s heart required the right approach.

Luo Yang guessed that the main reason for Mother Zhu’s outright opposition was still related to her husband.

So, he decided to probe.

"Auntie, are you worried that if I take Blood Devil, it would put Uncle Zhu at a disadvantage?"

His question hit Mother Zhu’s weak spot.

She moved her lips, as if wanting to say something, but she did not speak.

From her flickering eyes, it was evident that she felt slightly embarrassed inside.

Luo Yang continued, "Auntie, I just want to help Sister Zhu become the Sect Leader, nothing more."

Hearing this, the stern lines on Mother Zhu’s face softened somewhat.

Luo Yang added, "Auntie, once I master Ferocious Power, I will return Blood Devil to you and help investigate the cause of Uncle Zhu’s disappearance."

At these words, Mother Zhu was moved.

She sighed deeply and fell back into contemplation.

"Mom, think about it for two minutes, I’ll go for a walk with Niu Zai."

As she spoke, Zhu Zishan came over, took Luo Yang by the hand, and they strolled to one side.

Mother Zhu stared blankly at the backs of the two young people, murmuring softly to herself.

Her daughter had grown up and found someone special. Although as a mother she should help to keep watch, it wasn’t right to be too forceful in obstructing young love.

Moreover, Luo Yang was their savior, and Mother Zhu admired his character.

Every time Zhu Zishan took the initiative to hold hands, Luo Yang would feel a bit nervous.

Just now, when he encountered An Yuying, he wasn’t sure whether she would follow them here after returning to Qin Piao’s house.

If An Yuying saw him and Zhu Zishan being so intimate again, she would certainly be jealous.

Luo Yang glanced around, and Zhu Zishan noticed his action.

"Talking about living a life with me, yet look at you!"

Women’s jealousy is all the same.

Zhu Zishan let go of Luo Yang’s hand and pouted her red lips.

They were only about twenty meters away from Mother Zhu.

The tone wasn’t loud, but Zhu Zishan’s movement in pulling away was quite noticeable.

Mother Zhu, seeing this, thought the two were discussing the matter of Blood Devil and that they were upset because she was obstructing them.

Luo Yang turned his head and saw Mother Zhu looking over with a stretched neck, so he quickly reached out and hooked his arm around Zhu Zishan’s slender waist, pulling her into his arms.

Then he gently pecked her red lips and whispered, "Mom is watching us."

While speaking, he pecked her a few more times.

Zhu Zishan laughed lightly and said in a soft voice, "After we move to the resort, it might be better for Guihua and the others to stay here."

This was her way of laying her cards on the table with Luo Yang.

She didn’t want to lie, but she really wanted to learn Ferocious Power.

Luo Yang went along with her intentions, saying, "Of course. If need be, I’ll just run back and forth."

Zhu Zishan pursed her red lips again, saying, "Why run back and forth!"

From her tone, it was clear she wanted to monopolize Luo Yang.

"I’ll spend twenty days with you and ten days making it up to them," Luo Yang said.

"Twenty-nine days with me," Zhu Zishan said with a smile.

"Wife, you’re so domineering."

Luo Yang pecked her lips again, hugging her even tighter, feeling the warmth of her body.

As they talked, Zhu Zishan occasionally let out joyous, girlish laughter.
