Jiuli, who is this child?
129: 128.
Jiuli, who is this child?
Xue Feng, by nature, was always a man of few words.
When Mo Jiuli left him to explain to the several elders, he remained silent.
The elders from the Mo Family, too unsure how to approach the question of Mo Jiuli’s whereabouts, were momentarily lost for words.
Suddenly, Xue Feng waved his hand and an array of barriers began to overlap.
They could vaguely sense the invigorating sensation within the barrier…
In the meantime, they discovered that their divine senses were unable to penetrate the barrier!
The heart of the elders shuddered, for they were amongst the top-tier powers of the Lingtian Continent.
Even in the depths of the Death Valley – a place teeming with poisonous miasmas, where others divine senses are hindered – they could still extend their senses to a thousand meters.
…
However, within Xue Feng’s barrier today, their divine senses were completely isolated.
The elders looked at Xue Feng with a renewed sense of awe.
In their eyes, Xue Feng had evolved from a genius to some freakish existence…
“What is this?” Mo Chenluo asked Xue Feng.” he asked curiously.
“Jiuli is coming out!” Xue Feng responded succinctly.
“Ah…” Mo Chenluo wanted to inquire about where Jiuli might have gone.
However, Xue Feng did not appear eager to disclose more, so he refrained from asking.
Just as the four elders from the Mo Family were about to voice some questions, they saw a sudden flash of a human shadow.
Appearing before them were Mo Jiuli, Lin Yue, accompanied by a surge of heat wave…
Everyone was taken aback, even Xue Feng.
Seeing the child Baobao, her face flushed red from the high fever, Xue Feng couldn’t help but feel an intense concern welling up in his eyes: “Jiuli, Baobao she…”
“Baobao has been poisoned…” After Mo Jiuli finished, she turned her gaze back to the stunned Bureau Chiefs and asked, “Have any of you heard of this poison before?”
The four elders of the Mo Family recovered their senses at Mo Jiuli’s words.
Approaching to observe Baobao’s condition, they all furrowed their brows.
None of them was an alchemist, hence none understood poisons.
However, seeing a tiny girl enduring such suffering, each felt a sense of discomfort in their heart…
They knew Baobao was Mo Jiuli’s daughter.
Despite not having had much contact with Baobao, they found the little girl to be extremely adorable and irresistible.
Now, seeing the tiny girl lying on the ground, frowning, without even being able to get close, they all felt heartbroken.
They finally understood why Mo Jiuli disappeared suddenly…
“Jiuli, this child is?” Mo Chenluo regained his sanity and asked with some confusion.
“She is my daughter named Baobao.
She had been inflicted with a Devouring Poisonous Insect.
Originally, this insect was inside me.
If this poisonous insect is not dealt with, when she reaches 15 years old…” Mo Jiuli explained Baobao’s condition in a simple yet detailed manner.
She had faith in Xue Feng’s barrier, which was why she dared to be truthful about the situation.
To investigate the origin of the poison, she needed the help of the Mo Family.
Thus, she chose to be honest, including the incident five years ago when she was drugged, fell into a relationship with someone as a part of the antidote arrangement, and Baobao’s conception – she glossed over these details briefly…
Meanwhile,
In the center of the 18th floor of Hell in the Netherworld, a disheveled man was imprisoned.
At this moment, the man was sitting with his eyes closed at the center of Hell.
All around him, the Karma Hellfire was burning intensely.
Yet, the man seemed unaffected, not even a crease formed between his eyebrows…
Above him was the pitch-dark Heavenly Curtain.
Except for the man sitting on a circular platform made of cold iron, everything around him was the Sea of Hellfire.
The mere sight was enough to send shivers running down anyone’s spine.
But for the man, it showed his formidable strength, as he fearlessly faced the Hell Karma Fire that could burn souls…
Suddenly, there was a faint pain surfacing at the man’s heart.
This made his unfazed eyebrows twitch, his lips moved and he muttered: “Jiuli…”
“Hahaha, do you feel pain?
How is it?
Do you want to know how much your daughter is suffering right now?
As long as you agree to my terms, I’ll let you reunite with your daughter.
How about that?” As the man murmured, a sharp voice that wasn’t distinguishable as male or female echoed.
One could not see the face of the speaker, but the sound was coming from all directions, making the listeners extremely uncomfortable…
“What’s wrong?
Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill your daughter?
Do you think that woman can save your daughter?
Honestly, that woman has gone missing for a long time!
You truly believe that she loves you, even to the point of raising your daughter for you?
Hahaha…” Sharp laughter echoed all around…
The man seemed used to this kind of scorn and verbal attacks, still unmoving, sitting steadfastly in his spot…
“Hmph, this is just the beginning.
Let’s see how long you can hold out!” The voice apparently knew the expected outcome, it let out a cold snort before all fell silent…
General’s Mansion, Fengyun City
Upon listening to Mo Jiuli, the four elders of the Mo Family and Mo Chenluo displayed stunned and angry expressions.
Mo Chenluo, in particular, was filled with heartache and guilt…
If, five years ago, Little Jiuli had not met Baobao’s father, would she have…?
And if it weren’t for Baobao, would Little Jiuli, three years ago, have…?
At this moment, Mo Chenluo was filled with self-loathing, for he had deliberately chosen to stay in the Alchemy Association due to his dislike for Mo Caiyun.
Despite knowing that Mo Caiyun was not an easy woman to deal with, he did not look after Jiuli properly…
The four elders of the Mo Family also had complicated feelings.
When had their Mo Family fallen to such a state?
Could it be that things have been going awry these years because of their negligence?
The descendants of the Mo Family had been poisoned without their knowledge.
The head of the Mo Family was missing, and another was being controlled by someone!
The world, unbeknown to them, had become much more dangerous than they had ever imagined…
It seemed that they had made the right decision by coming out this time.
Otherwise, they would not know whether the Mo Family would exist the next time they emerged…
After Mo Jiuli finished talking and saw the elders’ expressions, her heart began to sink.
It seemed that they too had no idea about Baobao’s condition now?
She didn’t have time to worry about what the elders were thinking.
She could only watch Baobao with aching heart.
Tears filled her eyes, but she forced herself not to let them fall…
Never before was Mo Jiuli this helpless, this frightened.
As a lone wanderer in her past life, she never truly understood the concept of loss and fear…
But in this life, she had Baobao.
She had someone she cherished, a vulnerability, a red line crossed, a fatal weakness.
Yet now, she could only watch as her most precious treasure endured such torment.
It was too cruel for her.
She would rather take it all upon herself, be it the pain, the agony, the suffering…
