Chapter 841: Chapter 770: You’re Not a Half-demon Anymore
In the evening, Bai Zhi appeared in front of Bai Guang again, who was still enduring the pain of being struck by lightning.
“Uncle.”
Bai Guang looked at Bai Zhi with an indescribable pride. In the past, his hope was always put on Bai Xiang.
“Xingxing, come here to your uncle, let’s have a talk?”
In fact, Xingxing was different from Bai Xiang. Bai Xiang had walked step by step under their expectations since he was young.
But Xingxing originally had nothing to do with these things.
“Uncle has always felt that I am the one to lead the Bai Family, to bring the Bai Family to a better future, and also to be the Guardian of the Bai Family. I cannot make mistakes, and I cannot be complacent.”
Back then, although he insisted on marrying Li Sisi, he also knew what his responsibility was, what needed to be done, and what could not be done.
At that time, he was sober, he was rational.
“On one hand, I had to make myself look like a nouveau riche, while on the other hand, I had to make Bai Xiang study hard, so that he could shoulder the burden of the Bai Family in the future. To be honest, I was somewhat proud at that time.”
Bai Guang bore too much pressure. Whether in the past or the present, he was forcing himself to keep moving forward, to keep moving forward.
“In your generation, I only saw Bai Xiang, and I thought he must make efforts, otherwise what should we do. Later, you also got better and better.
I watched you, taking up the responsibility for all of us alone, and I felt sorry, because it should have originally been my burden.”
Bai Zhi didn’t speak. She knew that, in fact, her uncle didn’t need anyone’s consolation. He just wanted to say everything out loud.
Only then could the heart become somewhat open.
Actually, wasn’t Li Sisi just relying on the fact that her uncle liked her, willing to do anything for her, to be so arrogant?
“Later, when Li Sisi was exposed, you asked me whether to abandon the Bai Family and leave with her. You really shouldn’t mention it, Xingxing… At that time, I hesitated.”
At that time, he hesitated, actually hesitated.
He actually hesitated between the Bai Family and Li Sisi directly.
Even if it was just a few seconds, it was unbearable for him.
“Uncle, in fact, you have always been too hard on yourself. Whether it was you or my cousin.
Although the Bai Family needs to be guarded, everyone is not a child anymore, capable of self-protection; we trust ourselves.
Look, just like this punishment, you know, it’s you who can’t let go, you feel guilty towards the Bai Family, you feel you betrayed the Bai Family, you think you have to be punished, don’t you think?”
Actually, Bai Guang’s problem wasn’t that he betrayed the Bai Family, it was that he couldn’t forgive himself.
What did he do? He just took Li Sisi to the hospital.
He reacted immediately and grabbed that stone first.
Even without Bai Guang, there would have been other ways. Of course, Bai Zhi wasn’t trying to excuse Bai Guang. It’s necessary to be punished when wrong.
“Yes, I can’t let go, I feel it’s my fault, Xingxing, in the future, don’t consider like me—overthinking too much, understand?
I hope you and Bai Xiang can be good. Good.”
He also hoped the two children could grow up peacefully and happily, without thinking about the family, without needing to protect anything, just growing up happily.
But in the end, it’s not possible.
“Uncle, you love the Bai Family; we love it just as much. As you said, without the Bai Family, there wouldn’t be us. I deeply love the Bai Family and have never thought of the Bai Family as a burden. So we don’t feel tired.
Liking someone is very normal; sometimes not knowing what you truly want is also normal. Just let it go for now and see clearly what you really want.”
“Xingxing, thank you. It’s just that maybe I still can’t let go now.”
Bai Guang found that this little girl could actually comfort him. Really didn’t know what to say.
…
Bai Zhi and Moh Li were preparing early in the morning to meet that lady.
Bai Xiang and Bai Fei wanted to go but were stopped.
They were responsible for continuing their cultivation in the Bai Family.
After stepping out of the Bai Family’s gate, they found many members of the Demon Clan there.
“We are here for a medical visit.”
Bai Zhi: “…” How did they forget this?
Bai Zhi could only see patients first, seeing three a day. After dealing with it all, it was already afternoon.
At the palace gate, soon someone led them in, as if they had long expected them to come.
The palace was enormous. Although Bai Zhi hadn’t been to the Forbidden City, just looking at this grand palace, she could somewhat imagine.
Every place was so exquisitely beautiful, ingeniously executed, yet it carried a cold and heavy atmosphere.
The moment the palace doors closed, this vast palace seemed to turn into a gigantic cage, trapping them inside, unable to escape no matter how they struggled.
Suddenly, Moh Li grasped Bai Zhi’s hand. Bai Zhi glanced over and smiled. Yes, they didn’t belong here in the first place, so why care?
They walked inside together and met that lady. They even saw the Demon King who had been missing for a long time.
He still looked majestic at that moment, yet his gaze remained on that lady, never leaving. He seemed to love her deeply.
“Great King, these are the current descendants of the Bai Family. Hello, I am Bai Wei.”
Demon Queen Bai Wei.
“Oh, you are from the Bai Family. My Queen is also from the Bai Family.”
The Demon King appeared as if he didn’t know Bai Zhi at all, and Bai Zhi also didn’t show any reaction.
“Yes, I am Bai Zhi of the Bai Family.”
As for saluting or anything, sorry, that’s impossible.
“Alright, Queen, since your relatives have come, I will be leaving now.”
“Yes, Great King,”
The Demon King left, and as he passed by Bai Zhi, she caught a whiff of a fragrance, a faint floral scent.
It was truly strange how the Demon King seemed not to recognize Bai Zhi anymore.
“Sorry, when I sensed you all were tired yesterday, I immediately asked the steward to bring you over, but I didn’t expect you to be busy.”
Bai Wei’s attitude was very gentle; as a Demon Queen, she was surprisingly gentle, quite unimaginable.
“I don’t know what the Demon Queen is seeking us for?”
Bai Zhi didn’t want to beat around the bush; just saying it directly would be better.
“We are all from the Bai Family; can’t we reunite for a chat?”
Bai Wei sat at the top, with a smile on her lips, but there wasn’t the slightest hint of a smile in her eyes. It was even as if she might strike at them any moment if they didn’t obey.
“Bai Family member? I remember the family genealogy doesn’t have you anymore.”
So don’t even mention being a Bai Family member, who would believe that?
“Moreover, Bai Wei of the Bai Family was a Half-demon, yet, Demon Queen, you are not a Half-demon but a full demon.”
Without the Bai Family Secret Skill, how did she become a full demon?
Bai Zhi always felt that to understand this, everything would become clear.
“Of course it’s because I had an opportunity, little girl, do you seem not to believe me?”
Naturally not, who would trust someone they just met, no, a demon!
