Chapter 2003 “Demon Realm (1)”

“Mother…” Heart’s voice sounded dead and unemotional as she stared into Willow’s gaze.

Displeased by the way her daughter spoke: “You also heard what I said to Xin Yan. I will not permit betrayal. If you do… I won’t let you off either.”

That statement brought more hurt to Heart’s soul after already being traumatized. She wanted to be consoled, but it’s nothing but pain. In the end, her entire body carried a shadow looming over it like some dark being as taken root.

“Ooomph,” Willow abruptly coughs out blood from her mouth there right as she’s about to say more.

“Shifu!” Mo Xin Yan’s expression went pale at that sight. Quickly running up to the monarch, an undisguised level of worry appeared in the girl’s eye, “Shifu, what’s wrong? Your injury must not be healed yet. Sit down and rest first, I will go explore around while you do so.”

Dropping this, Mo Xin Yan turned around and wanted to leave. It’s just that before the girl could move, Willow’s voice had come again like a banshee’s whisper.

“Not necessary… I’ll be able to recover after a break, and then we’ll get out of here together.” She didn’t trust Mo Xin Yan anymore so letting the girl out of her sight was not permissible.

Willow smugly smirked as she took a seat next to the old tree used by her own daughter. She may say a brief rest was enough, but the red stains on her clothes clearly said otherwise. On top of that, the bright burning sun was no friend of theirs either.

“Then have a good rest Shifu, shout for me if you need anything. I will be by your side.” Mo Xin Yan’s tone sounded concerened but instantly changed back to harsh rudeness when shifting to Heart’s depressing figure, “What are you still sitting around for? Don’t you see Shifu is injured? Hurry and get over here and see if you can do anything.” At this moment, she seems to have forgotten the horror that Heart had initially brought to her and returned to the usual bullying demeanor.

Heart lifelessly did as told and stepped over without so much as a peep. She’s looking so depressing that its hard for Willow to put up with now that they’re like this.

Don’t assume the monarch would suddenly have a change of heart after Mo Xin Yan’s betrayal. She understood this disciple of hers never once faked the concern shown thus far, it’s just that she didn’t want Di Cang to die, hence the betrayal.

In contrast, her own biological daughter Heart was much colder, and even dumb to some extent in not showing any emotional concern for her own injury.

This was also why Willow didn’t leave Mo Xin Yan behind.

At the very least…. she needs an extra hand to help run errands during this period, which Heart wouldn’t be able to do.

“Heart,” Willow’s tightly furrowed forehead loosens up after a sigh, “although Xin Yan did something wrong before, but I am willing to give her a second chance since she’s capable of understanding her own fault. You need to learn from her in this regard.”

Heart was stunned at the lecture as she stammered for a response: “Mother, I…”

“Okay, you don’t have to say anything more,” Willow’s voice lost any of the tenderness she had from yesterday and grew impatient, “Go over there and stand watch. I need to spend this period healing my wounds so don’t let anyone or any animal to come disturb me!”
