Chapter 1858 “Departure (4)

Therefore, under the warmth of Bai Yan’s palm, Ji Song’s nose got a little sour like she wanted to weep….

“Miss, I will…”

“Don’t call me Miss, if you don’t mind, call me an auntie instead. Your father and mother both lost their lives defending the Heavenly Domain, it’s only proper we treat each other as family.” Bai Yan’s soft cooing voice was spot on, hitting the knot that’s been plaguing the child’s heart.

Hurrying to wipe the tears from the corner of her eye, Song forms a smile to show her current emotions. However, unlike the awkward and weird one she made at their first encounter, this former morbid child had on a more relaxed and smooth expression. It goes to show one only needs the practice to become their true self after recovery.

“Auntie don’t blame me?”

Taken aback by that statement, Bai Yan raises an eyebrow: “Did you do something wrong?”

“I…” Ji Song grips her dress in unease, “My grandfather hurt your mother the mistress, and he wanted to catch Ling Yan.”

“Your grandfather is your grandfather, you are you, I will not put you two together,” Bai Yan shakes her head to dismiss the heavy mood as she smiles. “Not to mention Ling Yan has spoken up for your grandfather, I do not blame him.”

Truth was, she could relate to Ji Sky’s impulse. If her own precious darling had encountered such a thing, the demon queen would undoubtedly do the same thing and not trust a stranger.

But understanding was one thing, allowing it to happen was another….

She couldn’t turn a blind eye to Bai Ning’s injury.

If it were not for the praises Ling Yan said about the care provided by Ji Sky during her period inside the ruins, the matter definitely wouldn’t be settled so quickly.

“Thank you, Auntie.” Ji Song smiled in relief.

Bai Yan never noticed it before, but the girl’s smile actually looked pretty good after gaining some weight in recent days. If this continues, she’s bound to become quite the beauty in her own right.

“The two of you go play, I’ll be back soon.” Retracting her eyes, the demon queen started to head towards her father’s study room.

Study.

Rubbing his temple with a finger, Heavenly made a troubled expression due to what’s plaguing his mind.

Chee~

Looking up at the sound, the man felt annoyed since he ordered none to disturb him. However, his frown quickly relaxed at who it was. “Yan Yan, how come you are here?”

Stopping before her father: “Father, have you found a way to break the seal?”

Hearing her words, the monarch stumbled for a reply first before smiling bitterly. Then, shaking his head: “The great seal was created using my physical body as a price, removing is not a easy feat even for myself…. I’ve thought about it. If I break it then the other domains will certainly band together. By then, things will become chaotic.”

Once the domain war breaks out, the influence would extend to every corner of the worlds. Whether it be the human planes, the demon world, or the celestial world, all would be dragged into the fight. That’s why he created the seal in the first place. It’s to stop all the carnage and bloodbath.

“Father… So you’re not leaving with us?” Bai Yan got where this was headed and sounded tied, “You’ve been away from home for so long, everyone misses you so much.”

Covering the pain in his eyes by lowering them, the man shakes his head once more: “There’s no other option. Yan Yan, I will have to bother you to give them my message.”

In reality, he never actually thought about breaking the seal to begin with even if there were a way. He’s someone that willingly sacrificed himself for the wellbeing of all. Such a man would never put his own selfishness before the populous. That’s not within his character.
