Chapter 2007 “Heartache (1)”

Suzaku had great difficulty in keeping the stone from dropping out of her hand. It’s not that the thing’s heavy, but what it implied for taking it. A gift from an enemy, a traitor, that’s what makes it so heavy.

“Mo Li Shang, since you are done with your task, you can scram now. When Mistress returns, I will let her know what you’ve done and settle the account with you!”

Today’s Demon Realm could hardly be called peaceful. If the four of them must engage in a battle with this man, it’s unlikely they could come out on top. What’s more, the most important thing wasn’t revenge, but the protection of the remaining royal family members. That meant Jin Tian and Ling Yan who had no ability of their own.

Mo Li Shang didn’t utter a single word of defense for himself from beginning to end, but the way he spoke and the way he moved said there’s another side to the story.

“Okay,” that said, he didn’t look back and begun floating towards the blood-colored sky.

“Wait.” Suddenly, a crisp bell-like chime came from the rear, making the guy stop midflight.

Di Ling Yan had walked over after hearing their conversation.

“Princess!” Suzaku and the others were terrified at this and reached out, wanting to pull the girl back to their side. However, the pure and untainted eyes from the princess stopped them. It’s too innocent and without darkness that the four didn’t know how to react.

“Are you really not going to hurt Mother?” Di Ling Yan’s smile was hopeful and without doubt when asking.

Floating there for a good moment before he spoke, the guy’s voice was equally as pure and kind: “I will never hurt her.”

“Then have you seen my father and mother?” The smile gradually disappears from the princess as her face grew frustrated, “I miss them so much…. When will they come back?”

Mo Li Shang’s heart instantly ached with pain after hearing the saddening plea. Slowly closing his eyes, he recalls back to the moment where he saw that family being devoured by the darkness in the Hell Domain.

“They’ll be back soon.” After half a ring, he leans down and pats the child’s head in a reassuring manner.

Of course, this was done under the wary gaze of the four sacred beasts. If he had so much given a flicker of intent to hurt the princess then they would’ve attacked and separated the two in an instant.

Pouting in her little face, the pipsqueak didn’t buy it, “Uncle, you are deceiving Ling Yan. I am not stupid. I can sense Mother and Father is at a very distant place. I am scared they will not be able to come back for a long time.”

Mo Li Shang didn’t know what he could say in this situation. The girl hit the bullseye with that guess.

“Uncle, can you tell me where Mother went? Suzaku and the others won’t let me go find them.”

Mo Li Shang smiled slightly, “They went to a place called the Hell Domain.”

“Mo Li Shang!” Suzaku’s face changed.

I shouldn’t have let the princess touch this bastard, and this bastard actually revealed where Bai Yan went?

What if the princess she….

Thinking of this, Suzaku felt flustered and wanted to stop the guy, but what Mo Li Shang said next stunned everyone in their tracksw.

“Unfortunately, the Hell Domain is gone now and your father and mother has gone to a whole new place that even I don’t know of. But don’t worry, I’m sure they will return very soon.”
