Startled by the suddenness of it all, Heavenly showed a burst of reluctance as his throat went dry. âSo fast?â
Bai Yan slightly nods, her heart equally as reluctant to leave. But dragging this out wonât change a thing, it would only make the situation worse by increasing the risk.
âFather, weâll see each other again. When me and Di Cang think of a way, we will come back to youâ¦â
A bittersweet flavor filled the manâs mouth over the last sentence: âItâs okay, you donât need to make it sound so sad like Iâm never going to see you again. Go clean yourself up first, then Iâll take you to the exit.â
âOkay.â Giving one last glance at her old man, Bai Yan doesnât linger and walked outside like a strong-willed woman. However, that strong fa?ade deflated the second she was out of sight and standing before the open sun.
She doesnât like this one bit. This was the first time their family managed to get together for once, and now theyâre separating again. Thereâs no way her mood wouldnât 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: âIf 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 Fatherâs own domainâ¦.â
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 Heavenlyâs domain for example, itâs aligned to his signature so everyone residing in this world are all practicing abilities similar to his.
Thatâs why sheâs in a hurry to leave. Bai Yanâs 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.
Noâ¦. I wonât let that happen! I wonât let anything hurt my sweet darling!
Thinking of this, Bai Yanâs reluctance promptly dissipated and transformed into a stern and powerful air that propelled her to move forward. Sheâs not walking slow but fast and precise in her strides.
âLing Yan, Song, both of you go clean up and pack your things, weâre leaving right away.â Bai Yanâs voice reached over to the courtyard before she even arrived at where the kids were playing.
âMother, are we going now? But what about Grandfather, did we figure out a way to leave with him?â
Shaking her head: âNo, we will leave first. Your grandfather canât come yet.â
âGrandfatherâs not leaving?â Thereâs a sense of disappointment in the pipsqueakâs voice, âI thought we would all leave togetherâ¦â
Tasting bitterness in her mouth as well, Bai Yan could relate to her daughterâs damped mood: âIâm sorry Sweetie, we still havenât found a method yet. Weâve dragged this trip for some time now so we must go back to your fatherâs side. In addition, we can look for a way to help from the Demon Realm with your father. It wonât be long before we reunite with your grandfather, I promise, okayâ¦â
Sure enough, those reassuring words dispersed the damp mood in the air and raised the spirit of the baby girl. âThen letâs go Mother, I know Father will have a way. Heâs so strong and powerful, Father will definitely find a way.â
Giving her daughter a rub on the head, Bai Yan then shifts her attention to the other child: âSong, your grandfather likely wonât be able to come with us, I believe you should go tell him yourself about our departure. I donât know when we will be able to come backâ¦.â
