Chapter 1418 - Flutter (3) (1/2)

”This…” The Demon Sage paused, uncertain of how to respond. ”… I don't know much. As I said, I left her when she was just a toddler. Whatever man she fell in love with was a man she met when I was long gone. By the time I came back, he was also gone.”

”Just say what you know.” Dyon pressed, his eyes lacking any light to speak of.

”Um…” Sargeras coughed. If he wasn't a spirit, he was certain that he'd be sweating buckets. ”I really don't know much about this man. When I asked those who had survived along with my daughter, they said they had never met him. In fact, she refused to talk about him even when I asked.”

”Then..”

”How did I find out? My daughter has an odd disorder… After the meridian formation realm, cultivators can stay awake without sleep practically indefinitely. Many only indulge in that act to calm themselves, relax or quickly recover drained mental energy, but it's not strictly necessary.

”However, my little girl often falls into deep sleeps. According to her aids, it started when she turned 16. It never got worse, but it also never got better. It was during one of those fits of sleep that I heard her continually mumbling the words husband and lord husband.

”At first, I was very angry. Who dared to marry my daughter without permission? And who dared force my daughter to call them lord husband? If anything, my daughter should have a harem of her own!” The Demon Sage snorted, clearly very angry toward this long dead man he had never met.

Dyon's body trembled, but he did his best to stand upright, did his best to pretend as though the demon sage's words weren't knifing through what remained of his psyche.

”You never tried to cure her?”

The Demon Sage awkwardly scratched the back of his head. ”In truth, in her sleeping state, she's safer than ever. When there's no danger, she'd lie dormant. But, at the slightest hint of killing intent or if a threat to her life appeared, she would burst forth with strength even I'm fearful of.

”If I had to guess, it's similar to a selfless state, one so deep that even the heavens bless her. Also, in her sleeping state, she also passively cultivates with a speed that puts me to shame.

”With the help of the Jafari Clan treasure, I was only shipped 150 or so years into the future, yet my little girl was already a middle dao formation expert!” He beamed proudly, looking on toward the beauty with fatherly affection in his eyes.

One had to remember that after entering the Timeless Library, upon exit, one could be teleported anywhere along the timeline whether that be the absolute first year of all existence, or the last year. For the Jafari Clan treasure to be able to narrow this near infinite time to 150 years… It was clear how heaven defying it was.
