âYuâer, I like good and obedient children the most. Since you have now repented, I will be your mother for the rest of your life if you recover, okay?â Bai Ningâs cooing words were like breaths of life for the dying girl, which in turn brought some sparks back into those eyes as she looked upwards.
Auntie Ning is finally willing to be my mother? I wonât have to be an orphan without a mother anymore?
Because of those words, the will to live once again returned to Ning Yuâs soul. Immediately, she opened up her resistant mouth and swallowed the medicine.
Howeverâ¦.
The blood didnât stop spilling despite the fact, itâs only getting worse.
Bai Yanâs expression changed at the sight: âHer injuryâs too severe, thereâs nothing else I can do.â
She may be an alchemist, but that doesnât mean sheâs a miracle worker. Those who have passed the threshold are beyond mortal means to save.
Bai Ningâs hand quivered: âNo, that canât be. If one isnât enough then two, hurry Yanâer, give me some more.â
Ning Yu didnât miss the shaking hand in front of her face of course. Making a bittersweet smile, the petite girl shook her head in acceptance: âAuntie Ning, I⦠Iâm happily satisfied already if I can get your forgiveness before I die. Thank you for being my motherâ¦.â
Thatâs enough, I donât have any more regretsâ¦.
That said, Ning Yu then gradually shifted her gaze over to Bai Yanâs side, seemingly wanting to say something else as a final will. Unfortunately, itâs at that exact moment a wave of fatigue swept over the girlâs eyes and caused her to mutter out some inaudible words while those eyes closed for the final time. But even so, that was enough, Bai Yan could still make out the words by reading those lips
âSave⦠Auntie Ning.â
â¦â¦
Infuriated beyond words, Bai Yan couldnât take this outcome. True she never did like Ning Yu from the first time she laid eyes on her, but even in death the girl was still looking out for her own mother! Whether it be for Bai Ningâs sake or for her own sense of righteousness, Bai Yan couldnât let this death go unavenged!
Swinging her sharp gaze over to the scum: âIs this what you wanted?â
Ning Yuan didnât reply right away, only staring down at the pool of blood coming out of his daughterâs body. Then as if struck out of his daze, he gnashes his teeth: âNingâer treated her very good over the years, she dying like this is a good cause.â
Against this type of answer, Bai Yan didnât want to waste another word and gathered her composure by closing those eyes. Once she was ready, she promptly summoned her sword from the ground: âDragon Flame, take my mother away NOW!â
This time the old goat had no intention of failing like the last. He already saw what happened because of that so he lifted the woman up entirely over his shoulder and ran at full throttle.
At first Bai Ning was still grieving from sorrow, but the order from her own daughter once again brought her back to an urgent state: âNo, I canât go even if I die, I have to be with my daughter damn you!â
Unsure where the strength came from, Bai Ning suddenly found a burst of power from within and directly kicked the old goat to the ground in a tumbling roll.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Naturally that wouldnât be enough to keep the ancient dragon down. With blood dripping out of his mouth, he nevertheless got up again with a bitter smile.
Oh what sin did I do in this lifetime? Why did I meet this pair of mother and daughter? Even if I donât die by the younger oneâs hand, I will be kicked to death at this rate!
âHoho!â Keeper Ling draws a sarcastic sneer, those eyes contemptuous when speaking: âI donât know where you got the confidence in thinking any of you can escape.â
