Celestial Overlord - Chapter 7 Awakening
It was a rainy day in the imperial city. People were bustling in the streets. On the way to Lee clan, a young man with ragged clothes was seen carrying basket. He collapsed in front the Lee clan main gate. The guard hurried to see who it was, only to find it was their patriach first son tan lee.
The young master Tan Lee, the first son of patriach went on a journey to see outside world. He was considered genius among his generation. At the age of 18, he reached the spiritual realm 7th stage, which can be considered as the groundbreaking thing. He went on a journey to see the outside world. As the saying goes the dragon will soar into the sky. It has been five years since he left. No news of him came for the past years.
But only to find him today in ragged clothes, he was injured and had bruises all over his body. Hearing the news of his son return, old lee rushed along with madam lee to see his son. On seeing the condition of his son, his heart tightened. Madam lee almost lost her conscious after seeing her beloved son in such state.
“What are you all looking at bring all the best doctors in the city to treat tan’er” old lee ordered. Everyone rushed to bring the doctors. It was when old madam lee noticed the basket in her son’s hand. What she saw inside was a baby wrapped in clothes. He neither cried nor laughed when she took him in her hands. Seeing the baby old lee was shocked too, but treating his son was the first thing came to his mind. As the doctors treated Tan le, he recovered in a month. Old Lee was overjoyed to see that his son was alright. But only to see the lifeless eyes of his son, he laid on the bed like a person who had his soul sucked out.
The only words came from his mouth were ” my son Tian Lee !!! where is my son father”. Old madam bought the baby for her son. On seeing him tan lee burst into tears. He never said a word, just he hugged tian Lee and cried. A soul piercing cry was heard that night in the imperial city.
Even as they tried talking to him, Tan Lee never said a word. It further saddened old lee and madam lee. Five years passed as tan lee was recovering slowly. Tian Lee was five years old now. Unlike other kids, he never played much. He stayed silently in his room. As though looking for something his gaze was always on the sky.
The only person who would ever talk to him was madam lee. She loved her grandson, unlike other kids he was really calm and his gaze always had a profound look.
“Little Tian grandma is going for Taing beast forest, would you like to come with grandma”old madam lee asked tian Lee as she patted his head. As he was always inside the clan, she thought of taking him outside. Tian Lee nodded and went along with her.
The Taing beast forest famous for ferocious beast but they were all in the deep. The outskirt of the forest was filled with the low-level beast. As she thought it would be nice to expand tian Lee knowledge on this world. She brought him outside. People on the street saw a mature old lady along with a little kid who looked around five or six-year-old walking with his mouth stuffed with foods. As he was carrying some on his hands. It was amusing to look at the kid tried to eat even while his mouth was stuffed. Laughter can be heard from the passerby.
“Haaah!!! I should have slept last night properly” said a guard standing at the entrance of taking beast forest. As if he was asleep, he saw two people approaching him, there were a kid and an old woman. “State your name, this is not a place anybody can go in” shouted the guard. Before he could say another word, a nearby guard smacked him on his
Head. ” You idiot that this old madam lee of Lee clan, do you want to die”. Startled, the guard showed an apological expression.
Madam Lee just smiled and passed them entering the forest. She thought of showing her grandson some magical beast in the outskirt. As they walked and walked and walked. Madam lee felt strange as she was unable to even see a part of a beast. She felt alarmed.
She wanted to move out of the forest but only to see tian Lee was not there. Her heart sank. She used her divine sense to locate him, only to know he was walking deep in the forest.
Old madam lee rushed along the path, cared that Tian Lee would be in danger
But opposite her expectation even when she entered the deep forest not a single beast can be seen. She caught sight of Tian lee. He was eating fruits from a tree. Old madam lee lets a heavy breath. “Tian’er you should not walk around like this….”just as she was about to say something. An ancient roar arose from the forest. She knows iit.t was the fire lion, the king of taking forest. To think they will encounter this beast, she can only blame herself.” Who dares to trespass territory” the beast howled again. A beast of ten feet size with a lion body and a pair of wings landed before them.
It was a beast at monarch realm, here old madam lee was just at the spine spiritual realm. Her heart jumped in horror. She at least wants her grandson to escape.o she decided to fight for death with the beast. The beast looked at the humans to see who dared to enter his territory.
But on seeing Tian Lee, horror-struck lion be beast.t felt a horror which was unimaginable.s madam lee was getting ready to fight. She saw a scene which she will never forget in her life. ” Please forgive this lowly beast, Lord” the fire lion trembled in fear facing Tian Lee. As for Tian Lee, his gaze was looking down at the lion.
Two scarlet eyes started showing as the skin mask on his face started cracking. Old madam saw a young child with a flawless look along with beautiful eyes. “You are disturbing me” as Tian Lee said. The lion beast trembled further. “Get lost” as the word left Tian Lee mouth. The fire lion was sended flying.
Old madam lee was left gasping..just who is this??ian Leeeeooked towards old madam lee. His gaze left her breathless. To think such a flawless person can exist. Grandma, c, we go home? ”
Just while they were walking.old madam lee can’t take her eyes from her grandson. Just what is happening. How can be my grandson look this beautiful?h Lord if I take him like this anatomy. I don’t know how many maidens will have a heart attack. Maybe they will even try to kidnap him.
“Tian’er can you make a promise with grandma” hearing that tian Lee nodded. ” Never show your true power or true face to people until are eighteen years old”. Thinking a bit tian Lee asked “why”. “It’s just for your good little Tian”.
Old madam lee was thinking about the past while walking towards Tian lee courtyard. “Whatever happens from now on, t will be around Tian Lee” as she said in her mind..he walked inside Tian Lee house
