Chapter 3389 What makes you think you can guarantee her safety?
Hu Qingye coughed lightly, shifting her gaze somewhat awkwardly, pretending to be interested in the carvings on the beams and pillars of the bedchamber, completely ignoring the murderous look in her eyes.
"Daddy?" Seeing that Jun Yichen didn't speak, Hu Xiaoman thought he didn't believe her, so she shook his arm anxiously, her little face full of seriousness. "It's really sweet. If you don't believe me, just ask Da Yezi. He said it himself!"
"Father believes, of course Father believes."
Jun Yichen gritted his teeth and forced out a "loving" smile that looked worse than crying. He reached out his large hand and gently stroked his daughter's soft, dark hair.
I wish I could crush and throw away all that absurd memory of her "candied hawthorn-flavored mouth" from her mind.
"But Father won't try it."
"Daddy will buy it for you."
While gently coaxing his daughter, Jun Yichen viciously gouged out Hu Qingye's teeth.
"Daddy will buy all the candied hawthorns in the world for you to eat, and completely cover up the smell of that stinky bird from your mouth!"
"You're not allowed to touch other people's mouths anymore. It's unhygienic, understand?"
Hu Xiaoman nodded her little head, seemingly understanding but not quite. Her gray eyes were full of confusion as she tilted her head and asked, "Oh... are those big leaves unhygienic?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Qingye's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, and he was speechless for a moment.
Jun Yichen felt a little better instantly, snorted coldly, and replied confidently, "Yes, he's unhygienic, sheds fur, and is very dirty."
After saying that, Jun Yichen stretched out his long arm and firmly protected Hu Xiaoman behind him, completely blocking Hu Qingye's gaze from looking at Xiaoman.
The loving tenderness on his face vanished instantly, replaced by the cold majesty unique to the Demon Lord. His demonic energy surged subtly, and an oppressive aura emanated from him.
"Fox Qingye".
Jun Yichen: "We're not married yet!"
"This is the Demon Palace, not the Azure Sky Realm. You cannot act so presumptuously here."
"If I see you lay a hand on Xiaoman again, I won't hesitate to fight you right now!"
Faced with Jun Yichen's undisguised deadly threat, Hu Qingye suppressed her previous tenderness and embarrassment, slowly and methodically straightened her slightly disheveled robes, and solemnly bowed to Jun Yichen with a composed demeanor.
"Yes!"
Since he's leaving anyway, it doesn't matter if he agrees.
At this moment, Hu Qingye slowly raised his head, his expression instantly becoming extremely solemn and serious: "There is something I need to discuss with Ming Shen."
Jun Yichen narrowed his deep eyes: "Speak!"
Hu Qingye took a deep breath, looked past Jun Yichen's shoulder and at Hu Xiaoman behind him, who was playing intently while fiddling with the hem of his clothes. Her tone was solemn: "A sudden upheaval has occurred in the Azure Sky Realm. The ancient ruins have been opened unexpectedly. The elders of the clan have jointly sent a message, urgently summoning me back to the realm to take charge of the overall situation. I must set off immediately."
Hearing this, Jun Yichen's tense expression eased slightly, and a barely perceptible sense of pleasure even flashed through his heart—good thing he's gone, this old bird is gone, no one will be competing with him for his daughter anymore.
"Okay, then you should go back now." Jun Yichen waved his hand.
However, Hu Qingye's next words made Jun Yichen's hand, which was swinging in mid-air, suddenly freeze, and the temperature around him instantly dropped to freezing point.
"I want to take Xiaoman with me."
"impossible!"
Without a second thought, Jun Yichen sternly refused.
Are you kidding me?
Xiaoman is now mentally like a child and blind. He actually wants to take her to the turbulent Qingkong Realm to risk her life.
"Hu Qingye, did you get your brain caught in a door, or did the Azure Phoenix Fire confuse you?" Jun Yichen sneered, his demonic energy surging, causing the candlelight in the hall to flicker violently.
Are you aware of her current situation?
"She ended up like this to protect Dong Zhou, and you still want to take her into danger."
"Do you think her life isn't tough enough, or do you think my Demon Bone Whip is too weak to wield?"
Hu Qingye stepped forward and delivered a reason that Jun Yichen could not refuse.
"As you know, the Azure Sky Realm was originally a corner left over from the ancient divine realm."
"According to the ancient secrets of our clan, the opening of this relic will bring forth the 'Spirit Cleansing Spring' and the legendary 'Heaven-Mending Stone' together within the realm."
"The Cleansing Spring can cleanse the soul of impurities and repair damage to the spiritual consciousness."
"The Stone that Patches the Sky contains the essence of Nuwa's creation and has the power to reshape souls and mend the imperfections of the Heavenly Way."
"This may be an opportunity to repair Xiaoman's shattered soul and allow her to see the light again."
"Tian-Mending Stone? Spirit-Cleaning Ancient Spring?"
As the supreme ruler of the Demon Realm and a celestial deity, Jun Yichen had read countless ancient secrets and naturally knew the legends of these two divine artifacts.
The Heaven-Mending Stone is a divine stone left behind by Nuwa when she mended the sky. It contains the purest creative power in the world. If it can be found, it is no exaggeration to say that it can repair Xiaoman's damaged soul and eyes.
Jun Yichen fell silent; his previously resolute attitude faltered fatally at this moment.
He slowly turned to the side and looked at Hu Xiaoman, who was hiding behind him, looking innocent and clutching his clothes.
She could see nothing, understood nothing, and was like a fragile porcelain doll, quietly staying under his protection.
If only she could be cured...
If he could help her see the world again and become that clever, smiling daughter again, he would be willing to pay any price.
However, the Azure Sky Realm is currently ravaged by spatial storms, the ancient ruins are extremely dangerous, and all beasts are restless and agitated. Taking her there would undoubtedly push her into another perilous situation.
What makes you think you can guarantee her safety?
Jun Yichen suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Hu Qingye: "You know better than anyone what the situation is like in the Azure Sky Realm now!"
"Spatial storms, ancient ferocious beasts, collapsing spiritual veins... how can you protect her?"
Hu Qingye met Jun Yichen's almost murderous gaze and said, each word heavy with weight, "Take my life."
These three simple words, without a single falsehood, carry the weight of Mount Tai.
"As long as I, Hu Qingye, have a breath left, I will never let anyone harm her in the slightest."
"If we are in danger, I will use my body as a shield and die in front of her first."
Jun Yichen stared intently at the man before him, and in his captivating peach blossom eyes, he saw a resolute determination and deep affection that ran deep to the bone.
That was not a vow made casually, but a life-or-death promise made by a man with his soul as a sacrifice.
Jun Yichen took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and felt an endless struggle and weighing of options in his heart.
The current situation is far more serious than anyone imagined.
Gui Ya, that madman, has broken into the Divine Realm. Who knows when he will lead the Ghost Realm army to attack the Divine Realm.
Su'er is still trapped in the Ghost Realm.
He gathered all his strength, waiting for the moment when the ghost army would launch an attack on the divine realm.
He wanted to stage a scene where the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Once war breaks out, it will be a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, a cataclysmic event.
