Chapter 1860 “Departure (6)

Startled by the suddenness of it all, Heavenly showed a burst of reluctance as his throat went dry. “So fast?”

Bai Yan slightly nods, her heart equally as reluctant to leave. But dragging this out won’t change a thing, it would only make the situation worse by increasing the risk.

“Father, we’ll see each other again. When me and Di Cang think of a way, we will come back to you…”

A bittersweet flavor filled the man’s mouth over the last sentence: “It’s okay, you don’t need to make it sound so sad like I’m never going to see you again. Go clean yourself up first, then I’ll take you to the exit.”

“Okay.” Giving one last glance at her old man, Bai Yan doesn’t linger and walked outside like a strong-willed woman. However, that strong façade deflated the second she was out of sight and standing before the open sun.

She doesn’t like this one bit. This was the first time their family managed to get together for once, and now they’re separating again. There’s no way her mood wouldn’t be effected, especially when they had to leave Heavenly behind in this domain where enemy forces could come and go without a moments notice.

Gritting her teeth in frustration: “If my guess is correct, the reason me and Ling Yan were able to cross over to the Heavenly Domain is specifically because of that flaming bead. It probably activated because of the outer domains energy that seeped into the Demon Realm from the first attack. But why did it send us to Father’s own domain….”

Unlike the main worlds where the spiritual particles are all neutral in nature, these domains on the other hand are all tuned to their respective creators. Take Heavenly’s domain for example, it’s aligned to his signature so everyone residing in this world are all practicing abilities similar to his.

That’s why she’s in a hurry to leave. Bai Yan’s afraid the flaming bead was powered by some other form of energy found only in the outer domains. Since a recent invasion force had attacked, there are bound to be a lot of residual life force floating around beyond their eyes to see. Imagine the worse happening without their knowledge and her daughter bursts into a pyre. That would be a nightmare.

No…. I won’t let that happen! I won’t let anything hurt my sweet darling!

Thinking of this, Bai Yan’s reluctance promptly dissipated and transformed into a stern and powerful air that propelled her to move forward. She’s not walking slow but fast and precise in her strides.

“Ling Yan, Song, both of you go clean up and pack your things, we’re leaving right away.” Bai Yan’s voice reached over to the courtyard before she even arrived at where the kids were playing.

“Mother, are we going now? But what about Grandfather, did we figure out a way to leave with him?”

Shaking her head: “No, we will leave first. Your grandfather can’t come yet.”

“Grandfather’s not leaving?” There’s a sense of disappointment in the pipsqueak’s voice, “I thought we would all leave together…”

Tasting bitterness in her mouth as well, Bai Yan could relate to her daughter’s damped mood: “I’m sorry Sweetie, we still haven’t found a method yet. We’ve dragged this trip for some time now so we must go back to your father’s side. In addition, we can look for a way to help from the Demon Realm with your father. It won’t be long before we reunite with your grandfather, I promise, okay…”

Sure enough, those rea.s.suring words dispersed the damp mood in the air and raised the spirit of the baby girl. “Then let’s go Mother, I know Father will have a way. He’s so strong and powerful, Father will definitely find a way.”

Giving her daughter a rub on the head, Bai Yan then s.h.i.+fts her attention to the other child: “Song, your grandfather likely won’t be able to come with us, I believe you should go tell him yourself about our departure. I don’t know when we will be able to come back….”
