Chapter 469 Returning
Bai Qiqi sat in the main hall, her glass-like eyes like a deep lake, examining Yan Chen who was kneeling before her.
His body trembled slightly, his thin robes fluttered in the breeze, and fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead slid down like dewdrops.
He had anticipated this day when he fed the Beast God's heart to him.
"Do you know your crime?" Her voice was like an icy sharp blade, revealing a sense of alienation and anger, piercing Yan Chen's heart.
"I know my crime. I will accept any punishment you give me." Yan Chen said in a low voice, his voice full of helplessness and despair, as if he had already accepted the judgment of fate.
Bai Qiqi's gaze shifted away from Yan Chen and turned to look at Yan Mubai.
At that moment, it seemed as if time stood still. A tense atmosphere filled the air, causing Yan Mubai to feel a little uneasy.
That look was like frost in the cold winter, which made him shudder.
"I know my crime. I will accept any punishment you give me." Yan Chen said anxiously.
"He shouldn't have been born. How can you take responsibility for it?" Bai Qiqi said slowly. Her words were like a sharp blade, cutting through the warmth of family affection.
Yan Mubai's heart was instantly torn apart. It was the first time he saw his mother looking at him with such a distant look, as if she didn't know him. How could this be?
He kept shaking his head, she was definitely not his mother!
Mother would never look at him like that.
She is definitely not my mother!
"I'll take responsibility." Yan Chen's voice was low and firm, with an indescribable pain welling up in his heart.
He couldn't replace Mu Bai's pain at this moment, as long as the cub could survive.
Bai Qiqi sat on the high throne, tapping the table lightly with her fingertips, making a crisp sound.
Her eyes passed through Yan Chen and locked onto Yan Mubai, like a hunting bird of prey, with complex emotions intertwined in her heart at this moment.
The sacred mountain cannot be without Yanchen, so we can only...
Yan Chen instinctively leaned forward and stood in front of Yan Mubai without hesitation. That was the only connection between him and Bai Qiqi, and he could not bear to lose this precious bond.
Bai Qiqi stood up, as if every step was pouring a huge rock, and the wrinkles on her shoulders became more obvious with her movements. She said lightly but coldly: "From now on, he is not allowed to appear in front of me."
"Okay! I will never let Mu Bai appear in front of you." A glimmer of hope flashed through Yan Chen's heart. As long as he could save Mu Bai, he was willing to agree to any conditions. He lowered his head slightly, and his inner determination was as solid as a rock.
He took the distraught Yan Mubai's hand and prepared to leave this suffocating hall, but at this moment, Bai Qiqi's voice suddenly rang out.
"Wait a minute."
Her tone was like a biting cold wind, which made Yan Chen freeze instantly. He turned around, feeling panic in his heart, thinking that she would regret her decision.
Bai Qiqi was touched by Yan Chen's fiery gaze and felt a little uncomfortable. She continued coldly: "After you are settled, come to the main hall immediately." There was an unquestionable command in her voice.
Bai Qiqi felt uncomfortable with his gaze, and said in a colder tone: "After you settle down, come to the main hall immediately."
Yan Chen squatted down and said respectfully, "Yes."
After seeing Bai Qiqi nod, he took the kid beside him and walked out.
After walking away, Yan Chen stopped, lowered his eyes to the half-grown kid beside him, reached out and touched his head, "Mu Bai, this is only temporary now."
"Father, she is not my mother." Yan Mubai raised his head, praying to hear a positive answer from his father.
Yan Chen's Adam's apple slid up and down with difficulty, and finally he said slowly: "She is your mother." This simple answer seemed to tear apart Mu Bai's inner defenses.
Yan Mubai could no longer hold back the tears he had been holding back in the hall after hearing the affirmative answer.
His mouth pursed slightly, his fragile heart was filled with despair, and soon two tear marks appeared on his face.
Yan Chen listened to the kid's heart-wrenching cry, and his heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer, hurting so much that he could hardly breathe.
He squatted down, gently but firmly held Yan Mubai in his arms, feeling the weak and rapid heartbeat.
With the warmth of the embrace, Yan Mubai seemed to calm down a little, but he was still sobbing in his arms, like a fragile little animal longing for protection.
"Kid, your mother has lost her memory, and she will remember you soon." Yan Chen's voice was low and gentle, as if he was whispering, but it was full of firm belief.
Since the Beast God left Mu Bai behind, she must be touched deep in her heart.
Yan Mubai's IQ is definitely not that of an ordinary kid. His mind is as bright as the golden light in the palace and cannot be easily fooled with just a few words.
But at this moment, he would rather deceive himself and believe that "Mom will definitely remember me!"
Yan Chen looked at the boy who was so persistent, and the bitter smile on his lips was full of helplessness and heartache.
Once the Beast God returns to her position, she will be the god of great good and great evil, and all emotions and obsessions will be swallowed up by her divinity.
Gods have no emotions, not to mention that Mu Bai was his cub born using a secret technique. The Beast God did not kill Mu Bai, only because she had just returned to her throne and he was unable to completely let go of her for the time being.
Yan Chen carried Yan Mubai to their residence.
"Is this where we live?" Yan Mubai raised his head, a gleam of curiosity in his eyes. He glanced at the dilapidated wooden house and asked with a frown.
His innocence was exposed and he was instantly struck by this simple residence.
Yan Chen originally thought that there was nothing wrong with this hut, but after hearing what the kid said, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
He used to think that just having a place to sleep was enough, but now that he had a child, he realized that it was time to renovate the house.
"Just make do with it for now." After Yan Chen explained some things, he went to the main hall.
He walked forward and half-knelt on the ground, "Beast God."
Bai Qiqi raised her eyes slightly, her gaze was as cold as ice, revealing a hint of chillness.
There was no wavering in her eyes, and she said in a cold voice, "Release Xu Ruoruo's soul."
Yan Chen nodded silently and slowly took out a black ceramic bottle from his wide sleeves. The bottle was thick and simple, looking mysterious and profound.
As he opened the bottle cork, there seemed to be a moment of silence in the space.
At this moment, the translucent Xu Ruoruo floated out like a ghost, like a wisp of smoke. Her face was blurred and distorted, and her angry expression became more and more obvious on her pale face.
She stared at Bai Qiqi with eyes that seemed to want to kill her, as if she wanted to turn the pent-up resentment and anger in her heart into substance through that gaze and tear at the air.
There was a slight fluctuation in Bai Qiqi's eyes, but it was fleeting. Her gaze refocused, revealing a hint of unyielding indifference.
Xu Ruoruo roared angrily: "Bai Qiqi! I lost again! Now that I'm in your hands, you can do whatever you want with me!" Her voice was like broken glass, sharp and piercing, filled with uncontrollable loss and resentment.
