Transmigrated into the body of a prematurely deceased beloved child

Chapter 73 My Sadistic Brother 26

"Zhaozhao, go see your mother." Sang Yinuo seemed to have a split personality, then reverted to her gentle demeanor, and suddenly rushed towards the River of Oblivion.

Under his guidance, the suppressing barrier at the bottom of the River of Oblivion seemed to have no effect, and they easily passed through the barrier to reach another world underwater.

Sang Yinuo rubbed Zhao Zhao's head, "Coward~ Open your eyes quickly."

Zhao Zhao had kept her eyes closed since he jumped into the water, but upon hearing his boastful words, she slowly opened them.

What came into view were rows of coffins in the dimly lit environment, densely packed and stretching as far as the eye could see.

Zhao Zhao was completely stunned and almost fainted.

At this moment, Sang Yinuo forcefully pulled his hand and led him through the coffins, introducing their identities one by one.

"He is Mu Chuan, my commander. Back then, when the Ghost Path was fully opened, he charged ahead and vowed never to retreat."

“That’s Zefan, our benefactor. He stopped the evil spirit that attacked you and gave his life for yours.”

"This is Wen Yun, my childhood playmate. He is in poor health, but he took on the responsibility of guarding the border without hesitation."

……

As Zhao Zhao calmed down, she silently watched as Sang Yinuo led her past each coffin, listening attentively as he recounted the heroic deeds of each one.

From those few words, Zhao Zhao sensed the horror of the time when the Ghost Path was wide open and evil spirits ran rampant. This was something he couldn't experience in the system's storyline. The storyline only had a few strokes, showing the result, but the difficulties and hardships involved could only be understood by witnessing it firsthand.

They slowly walked to the end, where there was a special dark red coffin. Sang Yinuo released Zhao Zhao and leaned against it affectionately. His expression was gentle as he whispered, "Mother, Zhao Zhao is awake. I brought him to see you."

He gazed tenderly at Zhao Zhao, while speaking softly to his mother in the coffin, "Mother, do you know, Zhao Zhao is very stubborn, and I don't know who she takes after."

"If it were his mother taking care of him, she would probably be driven crazy by him."

Zhao Zhao stepped forward, touched the coffin, and said defiantly, "Nonsense, I would never make her angry."

Seeing his stubbornness at this moment, Sang Yinuo couldn't help but laugh, "So, you're just trying to annoy me?"

Zhao Zhao lowered her eyes and remained silent.

"Alright, let's go." He perked up, picked up Zhaozhao again, and prepared to leave.

Nestled in his warm and safe embrace, Zhao Zhao turned back and took one last look at the coffins scattered on the ground, her heart filled with lingering unease.

Back home, Sang Yinuo held Zhao Zhao in his arms as they lay on the bed. He asked, "Zhao Zhao, do you want to bring your mother back to life?"

Zhao Zhao didn't reply, but asked, "Brother, what are the soldiers fighting for?"

"We fight because of our faith, because of our family's expectations, and because of the powerless people."

"Then what will be the consequences if you, brother, resurrect Mother?"

"..."

“Brother, you know very well in your heart, don’t you?” Zhao Zhao lay on his chest, looking into his eyes.

"You are the young emperor of the underworld. You cannot let innocent people die in vain because of your own selfishness, and let those who lie down sacrifice themselves in vain."

"You will break everyone's hearts."

Sang Yinuo stared blankly, then slowly raised her hand and pinched his cheek. "Can you do that too?"

Zhao Zhao nodded.

“But Zhaozhao, knowing there’s a chance to bring Mother back to life, how can I be willing to give it up?”

Sang Yinuo closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them again, they were completely clear.

"Alright, get up and eat the yin energy."

He patted his little bottom, and before he could react, he scooped him up and carried him away.

"No resistance is allowed today."

Zhao Zhao sighed, "You stinky brother has changed the subject again."
