Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Bai Yue calmed down. She turned around and hugged Long Haochen tightly. “I’m sorry, Haochen. I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have kept it as a secret. I almost made a big mistake. It’s me who put you in such pain for all these years.”
After Long Xingyu trained Long Haochen for two years, Long Xingyu took Bai Yue with him and left Long Haochen. All these years he could only rely upon himself without parent’s love or care. If not for his good luck, he might already have died somewhere.
Long Xingyu and Bai Yue did not help him much when he was growing up.
Long Haochen’s body trembled slightly. He grew a tough mind after more than ten years of training. But now his heart was filled with pain. He realized that his own father never treated him like his own son. Then what was his purpose to train him? To have him kill the God of Devils and to be on the play of “Son Kills Father”?
Long Haochen’s heart was filled with bitterness. Long Xingyu was hurt, so was Bai Yue. But the one who got the most hurt was Long Haochen! He had parents but was never taken care of by them, and was even doubted by his own father as a bastard. He was not an orphan but almost lived like one. But at least an orphan did not have any hopes about their parents. However, he had hopes that were treaded upon.
Taking a deep breath, Long Haochen looked up to the sky and tried not to let his tears drop down. He took his mother in his arms and said with a broken voice, “Mom, I do not blame you. You gave birth to me and I’m grateful. I do not have the right to blame you. I only want to know the truth. Why are you the daughter of the God of Devils? And before I was born, what happened?”
Bai Yue nodded slightly. Long Haochen did not blame her, which made her even more guilty. “Alright. I’ll tell you everything.”
“My mother, your grandmother, was a pastor and she had a beautiful name called Bai Lingxuan. She was also a member of the Demon Hunter group. Since she was a kid, she had a great gift as a pastor and enjoyed a very good reputation in the Priest Temple. After becoming a hunter, she followed the Demon Hunter group to fight with Devils and her practice level kept increasing. A lot of strong Devils were killed by her team.”
“Once they met a strong enemy in a task and nearly all her teammates were killed. Under other member’s protection, your grandmother escaped. But that soldier who saved your grandmother died as soon as they escaped. At that time, they were still on the land of Devils.”
“She was very strong but she was only a pastor! At that time her spiritual power was gone and was badly injured. She then fainted in a forest after walking for a few miles.”
The God of Devils said, “It was me who saved her. I was patrolling around each clan’s territory and I felt her human breath. And then I saw Lingxuan. She was badly injured and her face was pale. But I was attracted to her for her elegance and beauty, which was completely different from my own race. Therefore I did not kill her and ordered other attendants to go away and I saved her.”
“After Lingxuan woke up, I changed my appearance on purpose. With my practice level, she surely could not see through me as a Devil. I told her that I was part of the Demon Hunter group, just like her and my teammates were all killed in the battle. And that I saved her on my way to escape.”
This was a big secret of the God of Devils and of course he had his own purpose speaking openly about it in front of other strong Devils. Long Haochen felt his strong affection towards his grandmother.
“Lingxuan was a hunter but she was very naive. She did not doubt me at all. With my help, she recovered and we became friends. She was so beautiful and so kind. In order to earn her trust, and to spend more time with her, I even helped her to complete her task and killed my clan people who killed her teammates. She was very grateful and trusted me. Then we both fell in love.”
Feng Xiu’s eyes were full of sadness. “Maybe this relationship was not allowed. Bai Yue, even now I can assure you that your mother is the only love of my life.”
Hearing this, Bai Yue cried again and Long Xingyu trembled and almost fell on the ground. Now he understood Bai Yue’s words. So far he had been suffering from the secret of Long Haochen not being his own son. But now he knew that Haochen was his son but he felt even more painful now. Compared to Bai Yue, he was truly sorry to his son, especially because he…
The voice of the God of Devils was so soft. The other Devil Gods had never heard him speak this way before. Even Agarez could feel his sincerity in his words. Agarez now realized that he was not the only one who fell in love with a human but the God of Devils, who reigned the land for several hundreds of years, also had feelings for a human and his love towards that woman was even deeper.
“I accompanied Lingxuan in my land for a whole year and helped her to finish all her tasks. And she fell in love with me too. A man and woman living together for a while and then she became my partner.”
“One day, Lingxuan told me that she wanted to go home and visit her family and friends. And she wanted to tell them about me and would marry me after that.”
“At that time, I did not want to tell her about my real identity. But I did not have the courage because I could feel her hatred towards my clan and I knew that her parents were killed by my race in the battle. I could not say it because I was afraid of losing her. I even thought about giving up my throne and just keep faking it. The time I spent with her were the happiest moments in my life.”
“I tried to convince her to stay but she insisted on going back. I did not have a choice but accompanied her to the border of the Temple Federation. In her eyes, I was still a human soldier. I told her to go back to the Priest Temple and wait for me, and that I would find her after reporting to my parents in the Warrior Temple.”
“Lingxuan was reluctant to leave me but still she left. I did not know that was the last time I would see her.” Feng Xiu’s eyes became wet, and tears were dropping down his face.
Bai Yue cried and said, “Mom insisted on going back because she had me! She did not tell you because she was shy. You promised that you would marry her after going back to the Federation. She had been waiting for you after returning to the Priest Temple to pick her up. But you did not come.”
Feng Xiu trembled. “Right, I did not. At that time, I was thinking what should I do to be together with Lingxuan. At the border, my identity was somehow exposed. Before I could take off my disguise and the seal inside my body which covered my dark aura, I was attacked by two teams who claimed themselves as the Demon Hunter group. With my level, I would not be afraid. But the seal I laid was too strong. I did not have enough time to get rid of it. Therefore I struggled in the fight with them. Though I used the Anti-Heavenly Devil Dragon Pillar and escaped, I was still badly injured.”
“That was the only time in my life that I was injured so badly. I could not help but have doubts about Lingxuan because only she was by my side all the time. If not for her who found out about my identity and knew about the seal inside my body, how come such a coincidence of two Demon Hunters coming out right after she returned to the Temple Federation?”
“I suffered great pain, both physically and mentally, so I fainted. With my strong healing power, I recovered gradually. But one year had passed after I woke up from the coma.”
“The first thought that came to mind was to find Lingxuan. I could not believe that she set it all up. So I wanted to find her and ask her. After I got a little better, I disguised myself and went to the Priest Temple in the Temple Federation, to look for Lingxuan.”
“When I found the Priest Temple, I only saw Lingxuan’s grave! It turned out to be simply a coincidence that I ran into those two teams who claimed themselves to be part of the Demon Hunter group..” Feng Xiu could no longer hold his tears.
