Chapter 311: Will You Shed Tears for Me Too?
Xiao Qi knew that Daddy had returned and wanted to see him, but Sang Luo didn't dare tell the child about it. She only told him that Quan Jin was a little unwell and needed a few days of rest, barely managing to conceal the matter.
However, paper cannot contain fire. If he didn't wake up and get better every day, the child would also become suspicious.
"Didn't you say you would personally hand our daughter over to me? I haven't even seen your face."
"Leaving the child to me and the other beastmen to raise, what kind of good male are you…"
"If you don't wake up again, I'll let Xiao Qi recognize Fei Yuan as his father…"
Sang Luo sat by the bed, guarding Quan Jin, without sleeping for several days.
One day, she was extremely sleepy and couldn't hold on any longer, falling asleep on top of him.
Waking up in the middle of the night and opening her eyes, she met a pair of cold, deep purple eyes. She was so startled that she almost held her breath, "Quan Jin…"
After Quan Jin saw her clearly, the color in his eyes gradually softened, containing a trace of guilt, "I'm sorry, Sang Sang, it was I who put you in danger."
"I'm fine. It's good that you can wake up. I almost thought you would never wake up again… If another person had woken up, I really don't know what I would have done." Sang Luo's tense nerves relaxed.
Quan Jin saw the dark circles under her eyes, and his heart ached even more. He got up and got out of bed, wanting to hug her back to the bed to rest, but his movements paused. He looked at his severed right hand in surprise and frowned.
Sang Luo worriedly said, "Your hand…"
"It's fine; it was originally a limb transformed from demonic energy." A surge of demonic energy emerged from the severed part of Quan Jin's arm, and the arm returned to normal. He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace, resting his forehead against the side of her neck and murmuring, "I almost broke my promise to you again."
"It's enough that you can come back safely, otherwise I really don't know how to explain it to the child." Sang Luo patted him on the shoulder, "The person who almost took you over, is he the Demon Lord, the master of the Demon Realm, right?"
Quan Jin hummed softly, "I have a blood relationship with him. He used to want to groom me as the next generation of successor, but I repeatedly disobeyed him and openly opposed him. He became murderous towards me, wanting to use my body to revive."
"How did you fall into the trap?" Sang Luo let go of him and asked this question.
Quan Jin dared to openly provoke the Demon Lord and openly turn against him, he must have left a way out for himself, not to be in such a miserable state.
Quan Jin hesitated before saying, "The Demon Lord used our daughter as a threat. I was momentarily flustered, which is why I fell into the trap."
"Daughter?" Sang Luo's eyes widened, and she anxiously asked, "What happened to our daughter?!"
Quan Jin clenched his hands tightly, his face full of guilt, "Our daughter's condition is not good. I… In short, Sang Sang, don't let our daughter hatch yet. Her state is not right. It's best to lock her up and not let her come into contact with other people, especially you!"
"Explain yourself clearly before you leave. I need to be mentally prepared."
Quan Jin originally didn't want to tell her about this matter, but meeting her firm eyes, he said in a low voice, "I didn't know about this when I rescued our daughter. I only learned about it later from the Demon Lord. He planted a demonic mark inside the egg. When she is born, she is very likely to be a ferocious and bloodthirsty demon beast."
Sang Luo staggered back two steps, her head feeling dizzy. Quan Jin hugged her and sat her on the bed, "There is a way to remove the demonic mark. I need to go back to the Void Demon Realm. I promise, I will definitely save her."
"…You still want to find the Demon Lord?"
"Don't worry, I won't fall into the trap this time."
"Fei Yuan and the Holy Lord of the Angel Clan have already gone to the Void Demon Realm to fight the Demon Lord. You should stay here and recuperate."
Upon hearing this, Quan Jin's expression did not improve. He frowned, "Sang Sang, you don't know what kind of existence the Demon Lord is. He… He is very cunning and treacherous, leaving many escape routes for himself. He hides the most important things in a place that outsiders cannot reach. Some things must be severed by me personally!"
In the end, Sang Luo couldn't stop him. Quan Jin left again.
Xiao Qi saw his father's last side.
Sang Luo concealed many things from the child, but Xiao Qi was quick-witted and understood a lot. He had been very worried about his father these days. Seeing that his father had returned safe and sound, and Quan Jin patted his head and comforted him, the stone in Xiao Qi's heart was finally put down.
He asked Sang Luo, "Mother, why did Daddy leave again? Where is he going again?"
"Daddy has important things to do, and it's related to your younger sister." Sang Luo said, "Xiao Qi, let Mother take a look at your sister."
Xiao Qi handed her the white egg.
Sang Luo touched the smooth white egg in her hand. The purple patterns on the egg seemed to have dimmed a lot. In the past, she always wanted this little one to be born sooner, but now she hoped that it wouldn't come out so early…
"Mother, will my sister be okay?" Xiao Qi had also noticed something was wrong a long time ago, but he was unwilling to think that way.
"Your sister will be fine. Before your sister hatches, she will stay with Mother." Sang Luo touched his little head.
"Okay." Xiao Qi nodded.
Another half month passed, and none of the three had returned. Fortunately, nothing had happened to the partner mark.
One night, Sang Luo was half-asleep when her body suddenly lightened and she was held in someone's arms.
She woke up and opened her eyes, seeing the man in front of her, "You're back…"
The moonlight shone through the window into the room. Whether it was because the moonlight was too cold tonight, Minos's face was very pale. When Sang Luo got closer to him, she smelled the bloody scent on his body and quickly woke up, "You're injured?"
"Just a few minor injuries."
Minos's expression was calm, and his robe was neat and spotless, no different from how he usually looked.
Sang Luo leaned closer to his chest and shoulders to smell, and she clearly smelled the increasingly strong bloody scent. It was definitely not the minor injuries he had mentioned.
"Transform back into your angel beast form and let me see." Sang Luo suddenly spoke.
Minos's body stiffened slightly, but he didn't move.
"Hurry up, otherwise I'll strip your clothes off right now. If I find out you're lying to me, you'll… you'll never see me again!" Sang Luo urged fiercely.
Minos hesitated for a moment before transforming back into his beast form.
Sang Luo covered her mouth with one hand, tears welling up in her eyes.
She trembled as she stroked the broken wings behind Minos. One, two, three… three wings were broken, and the remaining wings were also crooked and twisted, with many feathers scattered, messy and disheveled. It was hard to imagine that these were the smooth and beautiful wings she had stroked that night.
Sang Luo's heart ached, and she choked, "You didn't have to do these things for me…"
Minos looked at her red eyes and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
His voice was very soft,
"Will you shed tears for me too?"
"I… I'm not a stone!" Sang Luo buried her head in his chest, choking even more severely, not letting him see her crying so miserably.
Minos felt an indescribable satisfaction in his heart. He pinched her chin and lowered his head to kiss away the tears from her eyes.
"Please stay by my side?"
