Empress Dowager Wen put on the airs of an elder, reprimanding Qin Xiao with a look of bitter heartache.
"You used to be so obedient. How did you turn into such a disreputable person now?"
"Hurry up, cripple your own martial arts, kneel down, and apologize to your sisters!"
"Why aren't you doing it yet? I worked so hard to raise you all by myself, can't you even satisfy this small request of mine? When I'm old, how can I count on you to provide for me!"
"Qin Xiao, Mother is only doing this for your own good. When you reach my age, you will understand my well-intentioned efforts today."
Seeing that Qin Xiao had no reaction at all, Empress Dowager Wen started crying as she spoke, wiping her tears and looking at him with a face full of sorrow.
It was as if Qin Xiao was an utterly unfilial son.
"When I gave birth to you, I had a difficult labor and suffered massive bleeding. I have sacrificed so much for you, can't that even earn a single moment of your obedience?"
Seeing that Qin Xiao remained silent for a long time, she had no choice but to use her ultimate weapon.
Every time Qin Xiao heard this, he would immediately kneel, his face full of shame and repentance.
The First Princess Qin Rushuang and the Second Princess Qin Rumeng were both waiting to watch a good show.
The two of them had already thought it through.
They had planned exactly how they would viciously humiliate Qin Xiao once he knelt on the ground!
Qin Rumeng covered her duck-like mouth, her eyes full of venomous resentment as she looked at Qin Xiao!
But all of them were wrong!
The current Qin Xiao was no longer the person he used to be!
Cripple his own martial arts?
Kneel down and repent?
Qin Xiao slowly lowered his head, a sinister light flashing in his eyes, and a cruel, cold smile curled at the corners of his lips.
When Empress Dowager Wen said those words.
His violently trembling heart had already died!
Scenes of past memories resurfaced.
Every time, Empress Dowager Wen used this matter to oppress him.
It made his status in this family lower and lower, making him never able to hold his head high!
He once thought that a mother's love was selfless devotion, but this scene deeply provoked his soul, causing a strong sense of disgust to rise in his heart.
To put it nicely, it was crippling his martial arts, but in reality, they just wanted to turn him into a puppet!
Just when everyone thought Qin Xiao would kneel and admit his fault.
"Slap!"
"Ah!"
Empress Dowager Wen took a heavy slap to the face, blood splattering!
"Trying to guilt-trip me? I have no morals!"
"What the hell are you? Why should I kneel to you!"
"I am the Emperor! All of you should kneel and kowtow to me!"
Empress Dowager Wen covered her face, her eyes wide with disbelief.
At this moment, she was completely dumbfounded.
Not only her, but everyone present was utterly shocked!
Who didn't know Empress Dowager Wen's identity?
Qin Xiao actually dared to strike Empress Dowager Wen!
This was the greatest unfilial act!
"No! This is absolutely impossible! My deduction is wrong again!"
Jia Xu trembled all over, his eyes wide, and he couldn't help but cry out loud.
Lu Fengxian's legs went soft, almost dropping to his knees.
"Holy shit! His Majesty even beats his own biological mother! This makes him even more ruthless than me!"
He had merely stabbed to death three adoptive fathers, and people already called him worse than a beast.
And those were just adoptive fathers. If they had been his biological parents, he would probably be condemned to death by the scholars of the world.
Yet His Majesty actually beat Empress Dowager Wen, this...
This was simply a heaven-defying existence!
"You little beast, you dare hit me! You... you..."
Empress Dowager Wen's face flushed red with anger, her raised hand trembling continuously as she pointed at Qin Xiao.
But before she could finish her words, she received another slap from Qin Xiao.
"What? Are you going to say I'm unfilial? Do you even deserve to be a mother?"
"Don't think I didn't know back then. It was you who abandoned me!"
With that said, Qin Xiao raised his hand again and slapped Empress Dowager Wen.
With this slap, Empress Dowager Wen's cheek swelled up instantly.
She covered her burning cheek, an expression of disbelief on her face, unable to comprehend that Qin Xiao would actually dare to treat her this way!
But when she heard the second half of Qin Xiao's sentence, her pupils suddenly shrank, her entire body went cold, and she stood frozen in place, at a loss for what to do!
Qin Xiao sneered and kicked Empress Dowager Wen in the stomach, sending her flying backward.
"Thump." Empress Dowager Wen fell heavily to the ground in a sorry state, coughing up blood.
Before she could even react, Qin Xiao mounted her, his fists raining down on Empress Dowager Wen's face like a torrential downpour.
Every punch carried full force!
Fist to flesh, blood splattering!
Qin Xiao clearly remembered the year Empress Dowager Wen took him out of the palace to the countryside.
She stood by and watched as outsiders coaxed him away.
By the time Empress Dowager Wen found him, three whole days had passed!
The young Qin Xiao had been brutally beaten, covered in bruises and scars, and was starving and on the verge of death.
He would rather die than submit.
He naively believed that his royal mother would come to save him.
On the day he finally waited for his mother to arrive, his dim eyes finally lit up.
At that time, all the guards present knelt before him, shouting Your Highness the Prince.
But Empress Dowager Wen's cold, cruel voice completely cast him into the abyss.
"This little wild dog is no prince."
She was holding the hand of a finely carved, jade-like little boy, her smile gentle and full of maternal love.
At the moment the two passed by each other.
The young Qin Xiao's expectant eyes completely lost their luster.
It was his mother who pushed him into hell with her own hands!
Even when it was later discovered that the boy was a fake prince, Empress Dowager Wen still treated him as her own.
Yet Qin Xiao couldn't even beg for a tiny bit of maternal love!
But today's Qin Xiao would not endure beatings, scoldings, and humiliation for the sake of his family.
He would only strike back with heavy fists!
"Ah! Help! A son is trying to kill his own mother!"
Empress Dowager Wen screamed incessantly from the pain.
Even now, she still wanted to use the great principles of righteousness to oppress Qin Xiao.
"Historian, quickly write this down! Record all of this for me! I want Qin Xiao to be infamous for ten thousand years!"
"This is high treason!"
"Not only is he disloyal, unfilial, unbenevolent, and unrighteous, but he also beats his mother. He simply deserves to die!"
"..."
The historian stood trembling to the side, constantly wiping the sweat from his forehead, not daring to utter a sound.
Just now, Qin Xiao had merely glanced at him, but it felt like experiencing a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses, sending chills down his spine!
"Today, whoever dares to displease me... will have their nine generations exterminated!"
Qin Xiao's bone-chillingly cold voice echoed in everyone's ears.
With a single sentence, everyone present thumped to their knees, shivering in terror.
The time it takes for an incense stick to burn passed.
Empress Dowager Wen's miserable screams gradually weakened.
She was beaten until her head was broken and bleeding, left on the verge of death.
Her entire face was a bloody, mangled mess, almost unrecognizable from its original appearance.
And her eyes, which were originally full of majesty, arrogance, and disdain, had completely turned into terror and fright, leaving nothing but deep fear!
She never expected that Qin Xiao would be so insane!
She was his biological mother, yet he actually dared to lay his hands on her!
She was the Empress Dowager of the Great Qin Empire!
"Qin Xiao... you are truly committing high treason!"
Finally, Qin Rushuang stepped forward, pointing her finger at Qin Xiao and angrily rebuking him.
"I have already called Imperial Father here. Just wait for your death!"
"You beat Imperial Mother, a crime worthy of ten thousand deaths!"
She had noticed something was wrong just now and hurriedly went to find the imperial guards to search for Emperor Qinwu.
With Emperor Qinwu presiding over the situation, she absolutely did not need to fear Qin Xiao!

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
