Chapter 842: Chapter 771: How Can He Be Called a Father
Bai Zhi’s lips held a polite yet distant smile. “If it were you, would you believe it?”
Of course not.
The Demon Queen looked at the girl in front of her. As far as she knew, this was Bai Zhi and Moh Li’s first time in the Demon World.
Before this, they were just ordinary children. Originally, she hadn’t paid them any mind at all. They were merely newly trained mortals.
But she hadn’t expected that she’d turn out to be a spirit doctor.
Which means she could enter the Bai Family and take that thing.
This made her have to be cautious.
Bai Zhi aside, Moh Li by her side also appeared calm and collected, as if they were merely on a day trip here, not worried about any danger at all.
“Of course, I believe it. We are all from the Bai Family, after all, aren’t we?
The main reason we’ve invited you here is to ask for your help in treating my daughter.
I used to be a half-demon. Not long after I gave birth to my son, while at my weakest, I had my daughter. In the end, when she was born, she was very tiny.”
Speaking of her daughter, Bai Wei’s eyes filled with pain and guilt.
Which made Bai Zhi and Moh Li exchange a look, seeing shock in each other’s eyes.
Because Bai Wei’s worry didn’t seem fake, but they had never heard of this princess’s existence.
“It’s pretty ridiculous, isn’t it?”
Bai Wei’s lips curled with a hint of a sarcastic smile. Her daughter, who she gave life to by the slimmest of margins, was so weak she couldn’t transform, and was thus rejected by the Demon King, who didn’t let anyone know she existed at all.
“You’ve never heard of her, not even in the Demon World does anyone know that I gave birth to a little princess.
My daughter Xiao Jiu’s father actually wanted to kill her with his own hands!”
Bai Wei recalled that time, wishing she could, wishing she could cut that man into a thousand pieces.
Back then, as a half-demon, with a father who was a dominating lord in the Demon World, although weak in health, her mother had gone to the Bai Family to seek a magical remedy, ensuring her a life free of worry.
She could even train, raised in sheltered seclusion, unaware of the ways of the world. Meeting the Demon King, she fell for his little tricks, love at first sight, and infatuation upon meeting again.
She thought that they’d surely have a mutual love beyond all doubt.
Who’d have known she was just a pawn in his play for power as the Demon King.
Marrying her was nothing but to secure her father’s help in his bid for the throne.
“Because the Demon King couldn’t tolerate such a weak child, he wanted to kill her; that was his daughter, his biological daughter!”
In Bai Wei’s eyes flashed boundless hatred, he actually without hesitation thought about killing Xiao Jiu.
If she hadn’t done everything to protect her, Xiao Jiu wouldn’t be in this world.
Such a person, how could he be fit to be called a father!
Ever since then, she had no love at all left for that man. All that remained was hatred.
If it was just because the child was weak that he made that decision. But later he brought back that human woman.
He thought she would harm that woman. But she didn’t care at all.
She didn’t want him anymore, why would she care about his woman? It was just him overthinking.
And that woman thought too much. She was a scheming woman, but unfortunately, that man couldn’t see through it. What did it have to do with her?
What she cared about was that woman gave birth to an even more fragile Li Mu, and that man didn’t kill him but rather tried everything to save him. Why was that!
“Tell me, should I hate him?”
Bai Wei sneered coldly, even her smile carried a hint of killing intent. She didn’t hide her hatred for the Demon King, nor did she hide her disdain.
It left Bai Zhi and Moh Li unsure of what she really thought.
“Where is that child?”
Bai Zhi finally sighed; if it truly was this way, then she had to take a look for herself.
“Fine, I’ll take you there right now.”
Bai Wei thought Bai Zhi wouldn’t be willing. After all, she knew why they had come.
She figured even if Bai Zhi refused, she’d bind her if need be, because she must save her daughter—no other choice.
“Fine, fine. Fine.”
Bai Wei said “fine” three times in a row, showing how excited she truly was.
Bai Wei led them to a secret chamber, exiting from there. They soon arrived in an area filled with the scent of flowers and singing birds.
Bai Wei seemed not afraid at all of them seeing this place, nor did she care if they remembered the route.
She walked quickly, taking them from the floral paradise into a world of swirling snow.
Finally, they came to a snowy mountain, entering through a cave opening to find a natural Ice Cave, inside of which was a small red fox frozen in ice.
The red little fox.
She looked very weak, her eyes blinking with infinite yearning, seeming as if she wanted Bai Wei to hold her, yet couldn’t come out.
It’s said that eyes can speak, something that was never realized, but this time, Bai Zhi genuinely felt it.
This little fox missed her mother. She wanted to come out and see the world.
Bai Zhi reached out her hand, placing it on the ice layer, gently sending her Spiritual Power over.
The Spiritual Power of a spirit doctor is very gentle, usually causing no harm, but rather like a steady drizzle, examining while gradually recovering the other’s body.
The little fox also felt the gentle Spiritual Power and wasn’t resistant at all.
Bai Zhi quickly discovered the root of the problem; the little fox couldn’t store Spiritual Power, thus unable to transform.
Her body was like a fishing net; the Spiritual Power went in and directly passed through, unable to stay.
“Release her. Keeping her like this will greatly harm her body.”
Bai Zhi looked at the little fox and sighed.
The little creature really wanted to come out, but…
“But releasing her would make her body very weak… I’m afraid.”
Bai Wei truly feared, feared that something would happen to Xiao Jiu.
“Don’t worry, with me here, she won’t have any problems. Also, I need some medicinal herbs. If you can find them, it might be possible to repair her shattered body, making it better in the future.”
Bai Zhi looked at the little fox’s body; calling it fragile was an understatement, a body like a fishing net. She couldn’t store Spiritual Power.
“Actually, at first, her body was decent, just poor at training, but later she couldn’t store Spiritual Power; I tried many methods but none worked, none worked…”
Bai Wei’s thoughts on this topic made her feel like she had failed her daughter; if she had found a solution, her daughter wouldn’t have suffered for so long.
“Rest assured, release her.”
Bai Zhi’s confident demeanor gave her a boost of confidence. It was time for Xiao Jiu to come out.
She lifted the Barrier, and the little fox immediately jumped into Bai Wei’s arms, nestled tightly against her.
“Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu, have you missed your mother?”
The little fox nestled in Bai Wei’s embrace didn’t come out, the way she relied on her moved Bai Zhi deeply. This was familial love.
Bai Zhi took out a Golden Needle and started to apply acupuncture to the little fox.
“It will be very painful. You must comfort her.”
Before applying the needle, Bai Zhi looked at Bai Wei.
“Okay, I understand.”
Bai Wei naturally wouldn’t dare to be careless; it would be extremely painful.
