Chapter 860: The Mystery of Long Haochen’s Ancestry (II)

Bai Yue said blankly, “After mother returned to the Priest Temple, she waited for you to come. However, I could not wait. She was already pregnant with me and her belly grew larger and larger with each coming day. After around five months, she could no longer hide it as she had a thin figure in the first place. She told her family everything about what happened between her and you. Back then, you used the name of Feng Ling and was a warrior from the Warrior Temple. She waited you for several months, but you never came, and she gave birth. While grandmother and grandfather were no longer alive, mother still had other relatives and her masters. Very soon, they asked the Warrior Temple and the Demon Hunt Squads’ Mission Tower about you. The answer they received was that a person like that did not exist.”

“Back then, my mother’s mind was close to collapsing. She was so helpless. No one helped her. Even when she died, she did not know what the person she had loved so deeply was actually the ruler of the demons, the demon god ranked first, the Demon God Emperor.”

“Unable to find you, many people knew that my mother was probably tricked. They all persuaded her to not give birth to me, as that would ruin her entire life. However, my mother refused. She was just too kindhearted. She was unwilling to abort me no matter what. She said that even if it would cost her her life, she would give birth to me.”

“After ten months of pregnancy and a day of pain, I was born. However, it was exactly because of my birth that brought ultimate pain and disaster to my mother. My element was darkness. Half of my bloodline had come from your Devil Dragon Clan, inheriting your aura of darkness. Only then did mother realise that the man she had fallen in love with was actually a demon. Can you imagine just how great of a impact that was on her? And, because of my darkness element, it raised strong suspicion within the Priest Temple. They did not want me alive, because I was a descendent of a demon, and that the blood of demons flowed through my.”

“My mother forbid them from taking me away no matter what. My mother guarded me with her life. In order for me to survive, she used her own blood to replace mine, using her own element to change him. She used her love to protect my life. In the end, I survived. I managed to live under mother’s persistence out of love. However, my body was still destroyed to a certain degree. Not only did it lead to a fraile youth, it was impossible for me to cultivate as well. After giving birth to me, my mother was already feeble, and then in order to save me, she used up the last bit of essence her body possessed. When she watched me make it through the most critical moment, she finally could not last any longer. She used her own blood to write a short letter. She placed it in an embroidered pouch and hung it around my neck.”

“After I grew up, I read the blood letter multiple times. Back then, I did not understand what my mother was saying at all. Only after when you came and found me, brought me to the demons and told me about what happened between you and my mother did I understand what mother was saying. However, I never told you about the letter. I didn’t want to. I wanted you to suffer from the torment and guilt for her kindness. It was you, you who made mother suffer. It was you who made her die so you. I hate you, I hate you…”

Due to becoming overly emotional, Bai Yue almost fainted in Long Haochen’s arms. It was only because of Long Haochen’s constant supply of gentle vitality that she managed to remain conscious.

The Demon God Emperor said blankly, “Letter? A letter? Lingxuan’s actually left a message for me? What is it? Yue’er, tell me, what did she say in her last moments?”

Bai Yue’s hand reached into her own collar while trembling and took out an extremely old embroidered pouch. She murmured, “I’ll tell you. I’ll tell you today.”

She carefully, pulled out a white cloth from the embroidered pouch. It was very clear that the cloth was not square. It seemed like it had been ripped out from a piece of clothing. The blood on the white cloth had already become a purplish brown, clearly originating from many years ago.

Bai Yue read it softly, “Yue’er’s your and my child. I may be departing soon, but I’ve finally managed to protect her. No matter who you are, you are only my Feng Ling, the Feng Ling who swept through the world. You may have fooled me, but I do not regret my love.”

Bang! Hearing that, the Demon God Emperor suddenly became pale-white. His body swayed, only managing to remain upright by suddenly stabbing the Devil Dragon Sword into the ground. His gaze was rather dumbfounded. It was filled with endless sorrow. In that moment, even the human powerhouses who opposed him could not help but feel a twinge of sympathy after hearing that story.

Reading the contents of the letter, Bai Yue felt like she had been relieved of a great burden. Her expression eased up and she turned to her son. She carefully placed the letter back into the pouch around her neck and she said softly, “I was brought up by many people. My mother’s death for me touched many of her masters from the Priest Temple. They silently took up the burden of raising me. Although I could not cultivate, they took extremely good care of me, watching me grow up with each passing day. They never told me about the tragedy that my mother went through before her death either, just because they hoped I could live happily. If it was possible, they would rather I never find out about that. After all, I don’t have a vocation. I can’t take part in the war against the demons.”

“When I was eighteen, I met Xingyu. Although he was much older than me, every young girl revered a hero. He fell in love with me, while I also feel in love with him. Under the blessings of the masters of the Priest Temple, we married in the Knight Temple, just inside the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. If everything went smoothly, we would have become a happy couple. I never had any particular demands in life. I only hoped that the person who I loved who also loved me could be happy. However, just when I was most happy, you appeared.”

When she said that, Bai Yue looked at the Demon God Emperor nearby. Her voice was filled with resentment.

“It was you who destroyed my life. You could sense your own aura in me, so you forcefully abducted me in a battle between the demons and the alliance, bringing me back to your Demon Emperor Palace.

“Back then, I thought I was done for, that I would never be able to see Xingyu again. After falling into your hands, I never thought I could return alive. I was already prepared that if you demons tried to rape me, I would die for Xingyu to remain pure. I held me hairpin, ready to take my own life at any time.

Upon reaching there, Bai Yue raised her hand gently and touched Long Haochen’s face, “If it weren’t for you, perhaps I would have taken my own life the moment the demons had taken me away. I just happened to have found out about your existence back then. I hadn’t even managed to tell your father. As a result, I was reluctant to die. There was no need to drag an innocent child down into the grave with me. Even if there was just the slightest possibility, I had to remain strong and survive, to give birth to you. Just like how my mother used her own life to protect me, I was willing to use my own life to protect you.”

“Mother,” Long Haochen held his mother and also sobbed.

“Afterwards, he told me that he was my father. He could sense the aura of his bloodline on me and he could see how I almost looked the same as my mother. From then on, he kept me in the demons’ territory for almost a year. He treated me very well, often telling me about the stories that happened between him and my mother. However, because of his lies and deception, I grew up without a mother or a father! How could I forgive him? I was the wife of a divine knight from the Knight Temple, yet I was the daughter of the Demon God Emperor. Back then, my emotions were extremely mixed. I had no idea how to face your father. Only afterwards, as my stomach gradually swelled up, did I suddenly realise that I could not give birth to my child within the demons no matter what. As a result, I threatened him with my own life, which was why he sent me back to the alliance and why I was able to return. When I returned to the alliance, I was close to birth. I had no idea how to face your father. One reason was because of my father that I rejected, but at the end of the day, was still my father. The other was because of my beloved husband. The hatred between the humans and demons had already reached a point of no return, so how was I supposed to face him? I did not face him. I was unable to imagine what I would do one day if my father killed my husband, or my husband killed my father. As a result, I could not run away. I could only choose to run.”

“After giving birth to you in Odin Town, I decided to stay there. No matter how difficult it was there, I was unwilling to face everything in the outside world. I missed Xingyu, but I did not have the courage to stand before him and tell him I was the daughter of the Demon God Emperor. It was exactly because of the depth of my love that made me even more reluctant for him to go through this pain. As a result, I could only run away from him and never see him. That lasted for almost ten years!”

“When he came to find me, he had already become a divine knight. When I saw him again, I was unable to repress my emotions any longer, so I finally agreed to return with him, as well as tell him about your existence.”

Long Xingyu raised his head slowly and looked at Bai Yue and Long Haochen in confusion, “However, when I saw you again, I didn’t believe you. I could sense you were running away, but I believe that you were running away because of Haochen, because you had him with the Demon God Emperor. Can you imagine the pain, the suffering that I went through back then? However, no matter how painful it was, it could not rival my love for you. I just loved you too much, which was why I was willing for this pain to eat away my heart than to separate from you again.”
