Chapter 1520: Chapter 822. She Loves Him
Chapter 822
Even though they later separated, even though she only occasionally looked at Baobao and thought of his face, even though her yearning was faint, she loved him—there was no doubt about it…
Perhaps her feelings were as gentle as water, even slow to ignite, even a bit dull, but she only ever liked and fell in love with this one man…
The bits and pieces that happened on the Lingtian Continent, the silent efforts Di Minghan made for her and their daughter—all of it vividly surfaced in Mo Jiuli’s mind at this moment…
She couldn’t dispel the images; they lingered, leaving Mo Jiuli to sit blankly beside Di Minghan, her trembling hands tightly clutching his large hand, as tears fell like pearls, drop after drop…
Di Chen turned around, unable to bear the sight, while the three Guardians of Di Minghan lost their aura in an instant, their bodies transforming into three streams of flowing light as they burrowed into Di Minghan’s body…
“Why? Why? Why? Didn’t you promise to protect me and Baobao? Didn’t you promise us to wait for you? Why?”
“How am I supposed to face Baobao like this? Can you truly just abandon Baobao and me? Do you really not miss us…”
Mo Jiuli cried incoherently.
After a long time, Mo Jiuli composed herself and looked at Di Chen, whose eyes were damp on the side. She asked, “Master, I want to know why. How did he end up like this?”
“Sigh… Ahan had a temporary Space Ring before, but he gave it to your Grandpa earlier and forgot to take it back! As a result, this time your Grandpa and your Cousin could only ascend alongside him…
When Ahan ascended, he tried to contact your Grandpa and Cousin, only to find the Sound Transmission Stone had lost signal completely. He couldn’t reach them at all. So, he sent the three of them to the Hidden Clan first, while he came to Emperor Mountain to inquire about you and your daughter’s situation from me…
After I told Ahan about you and Baobao, Ahan decided to activate a Secret Technique to locate your Grandpa and your Cousin. Originally, I wanted to do it in his stead, but he knocked me unconscious instead. By the time I woke up, he had already found out that your Grandpa and Cousin were captured by the Divine Doctor Sect…
Though Ahan suffered severe recoil from the Secret Technique, he still wanted to rescue your Grandpa and Cousin immediately. Ahan said they were very important to you and didn’t want you to worry! I saw how gravely injured he was and forced him to stay while I had Xiaoye lead people to rescue your Grandpa and the others…
The recoil from the Secret Technique was already extremely severe, but it shouldn’t have reached this point. Yet later, for some reason, Ahan’s condition suddenly deteriorated rapidly. I tried everything and could only keep him barely alive, hoping to wait until you returned, but still, I didn’t expect this…” Di Chen said with a deep sense of guilt.
He mocked himself for priding his medical skills as divine, yet he couldn’t even save his own disciple…
Mo Jiuli didn’t ask Di Chen what Secret Technique Di Minghan had used, but she recalled what Di Minghan had once told her—that he had triggered Heavenly Punishment by altering someone’s fate using a Secret Technique and was punished by being sent to the Lingtian Continent…
Mo Jiuli guessed that the Secret Technique Di Minghan used must not have been ordinary. But why? Mo Jiuli only felt a heart-wrenching pain that was indescribable, as if her entire heart had been hollowed out…
“Mother, Baobao’s father isn’t dead. His body doesn’t seem to belong here; it’s as if he’s in a state of false death or deep slumber, but his soul isn’t inside his body…” Out of nowhere, Little Lingling suddenly spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Di Chen and Mo Jiuli were both startled. Mo Jiuli looked at Little Lingling and asked nervously, “Little Lingling, what did you say?”
PS: It’s not that I don’t want to write about the male lead. Recently, the crackdowns have been strict. Male leads can only hold hands and smile; they won’t even allow a kiss. So, ahem, the male lead will temporarily go off to regain his identity. My dear readers, please be patient. Mwah!
