Chapter 859: The Mystery of Long Haochen’s Ancestry (I) (1/2)

Bai Yue’s sorrowful face calmed down slightly. She suddenly turned around and hugged Long Haochen firmly, “Sorry, Haochen. Sorry. Mother’s made you suffer. Mother shouldn’t have hidden everything, leading to a misunderstanding that was almost a mistake. It’s mother’s who’s let you down, making you suffer all these years.”

Exactly! After Long Haochen cultivated with Long Xinyu for two years, Long Xingyu left with Bai Yue, making him lose the love and care of his parents. He could only rely on himself over the years after that. Who knew how many times he came close to death. If it were not for luck, Long Haochen probably would have died on the path forward already.

Whether it was Long Xingyu or Bai Yue, neither of them had truly helped him after that.

Long Haochen’s body swayed. After all these years of training, his mind had already become forged like steel. However, he still felt aching pain in his heart. Only now did he find out that his father never treated him as his true son. Then, why did his father raise him? Was it so that he could kill the Demon God Emperor one day and create a tradegy that he believed was pitting son and father against each other?

Long Haochen’s heart was filled with bitterness. Through this misunderstanding, Long Xingyu had been hurt. Bai Yue had been hurt as well, while the person who had been hurt the most also happened to be the one most undeserving of it all, himself! He clearly had a mother and a father, yet he passed all those years without the love and care of his parents. His own father even suspected him to be someone else’s child. He was not an orphan, but he suffered a fate worse than an orphan. At least, orphans would not hold any hope for familial love. However, he clearly clung onto this hope, yet it was just trampled over by reality.

Taking in a forceful breath, Long Haochen looked at the sky. He did his best to prevent his tears from rolling down his cheeks. He held his mother and said with difficulty, “Mother, I don’t blame you or father. You two brought me into this world, so that’s already the greatest kindness you’ve shone me. I have no right to blame you. I just want to know the truth right now. Why are you the Demon God Emperor’s daughter and what happened before I was born?”

Bai Yue nodded gently. Long Haochen said he did not blame her, but that instead made her feel even worse, “Alright, alright. I’ll tell you. I’ll tell you all of it.”

“My mother, which would be your grandmother, was once a priest. She had a very nice name called Bai Lingxuan. She was a priest, and also a member of a demon hunt squad. Since her childhood, she had demonstrate great talent as a priest. Within the Priest Temple, she was an existence akin to a prodigy. After becoming a demon hunter, she followed her demon hunt squad and moved through the territory of the demons freely. Her cultivation climbed higher and higher as well. Countless demon powerhouses died to their squad.”

“One time, they encountered a powerful enemy in their mission. The squad was basically annihilated. It was a warrior in her squad that protected your grandmother with his life that she managed to escape. However, the warrior died after saving your mother as well. At that time, they were still within the territory of the demons.”

“While your grandmother was very powerful, she was still a priest after all! Not only had she almost exhausted all of her spiritual energy back then, her wounds were very severe as well. She did not manage to flee very far before fainting in a forest.”

As soon as Bai Yue reached there, the Demon God Emperor continued, “It was me who saved her. I just happened to be inspecting the various clans. Just when I passed by, I sensed the aura of a human, which lead to me meeting Lingxuan. Back then, her wounds were very heavy. Her face was sheet-white. However, from the first moment I saw her, I was drawn to her by her gentle aura and beautiful appearance. It was a kind of beauty completely different from my race. As a result, I did the unexpected by not killing her. Instead, I shirked away from responsibilities and saved her.”

“When Lingxuan woke up, she saw me who was under a disguise. With my cultivation, it was impossible for her to tell that I was a demon. I told her that I was also a part of a demon hunt squad, and that my companions had died on the battlefield, just like hers. I just happened to be passing by and I found her, which was how I saved her.”

To the Demon God Emperor, this could also be considered as a secret. Aside from his ulterior motives, the reason why he had said this before all the demon powerhouses was so that Long Haochen could understand his feelings towards his grandmother.”

“While Lingxuan was a demon hunter, she was extremely simple-minded. She did not doubt me at all. Under my assistance, her wounds gradually healed and we grew closer and closer. She was so beautiful and so gentle. In order to gain her trust, in order to spend more time together with her, I even went as far as to assist her with her missions. I even assisted her in killing the clansmen that had claimed the lives of her companions. Back then, she was very grateful of me and she trusted me as well. Unknowingly, we both fell in love.”
