Chapter 1394 – Thunderstruck

Huan Qing Yan looked at Ji Mo An Ning’s eyes and said: “Little Treasure, your father perished within the Devil Eye while trying to save both of us!”

It was as if thunder had struck Ji Mo An Ning, his entire person stiffened!

Mother has returned!

She just told him that his father had died!

This great joy and tumultuous sorrow came too suddenly, he was unable to handle it for that instant. His eyes dazed over for a long while before he finally found his voice: “Father perished to save us?”

Huan Qing Yan nodded, she was worried that Little Treasure was unable to handle the blow and quickly hugged him. She patted his back like how she did when he was young while gently consoling him: “Little Treasure, Mother is still here! Mother will also stay with Little Treasure, do not be afraid!”

Little Treasure did not reply, Huan Qing Yan only felt the small body in her arms trembling slightly while the area on her chest started to turn wet.

Huan Qing Yan released a long sigh and hugged Little Treasure even tighter, passing her warmth over to him.

After a long time, she heard Little Treasure’s choked voice: “Mother. Actually, Dad has been having regrets since a long time ago.”

Huan Qing Yan was speechless.

“Dad says that although Mother is not by Little Treasure’s side, he would love Little Treasure along with Mother’s share. He had worked hard to learn cooking to make dishes for Little Treasure.”

……

“Dad knows that the Ji Mo Clan is unreliable. He says that he has offered his everything for the clan his whole life, but he will not allow Little Treasure to follow in his footsteps. Dad has already assigned all the Ink Guards under him to me…”

……

“Dad has been holding on to the thought of death from the beginning, else he would not have allowed his body to continue weakening. He says that he was only living to atone for his sins, he owns a debt and wanted to use this life to compensate…”

……

As Little Treasure continued to recount, the grievance and anger in Huan Qing Yan’s heart slowly dissipate along with the young voice.

She knew all along that Ji Mo Ya was in regret. Ji Mo Ya had used his life to atone; he had even used that life to protect their only bloodline!

Now that the person in question has passed, and how he had used his final moments to safely deliver her son to her. Her remaining anger and grievance flew off with the wind.

When she recalled that gentle and noble image of his that he had at the beginning, Huan Qing Yan no longer felt any anger, only a small trace of melancholy.

Demon Realm.

Within a cave.

Carrot Demon’s green body that was taller than the average man suddenly turned red. The tassels on his head started to spread out and expand greatly before wrapping its body like a protective barrier.

There were also over a dozen carrot whiskers, all of them drilled into the earth underneath, drawing a steady stream of Spirit Energy from the ground to be delivered into its body.

Spirit Energy permeates the cave, the body of the carrot expanded and contracts while its color continuously changed.

It was apparent that it was a crucial moment.

It was also the most painful and difficult moment.

Carrot Demon Qing Luo was currently facing the most dangerous time of its life.

Underground, the Spirit Energy within several dozen miles radii has all been extracted by his whiskers. The Demon Core within his body was akin to a bottomless pit that sucked everything clean regardless of the amount.

Qing Luo steeled his heart and endure the sharp pain that came from the gushing Spirit Energy once again and pushed the carrot whiskers further out. Hoping to locate more Spirit Energy to nurture his Demon Core.

Within the carrot body, countless Spirit Energy was poured into the floating green Demon Core. The Demon Core slowly illuminated until it finally could no longer absorb any more Spirit Energy.

His main body had just died, completely. Now all his power had gathered and returned to this clone of his.
