Divine Seal: I am the Demon God Emperor's beloved granddaughter

Chapter 18 A scumbag father is a scumbag father; I never thought of acknowledging them.

And fearing that Bai Xi wouldn't believe him, he explained several times.

Although Bai Xi was still not entirely convinced, she immediately turned her gaze to Bai Yue.

Bai Yue will be able to discern whether it's true or false.

Although Bai Yue still couldn't speak, she understood Bai Yue's meaning in an instant: what Long Xingyu said was true; he really was her father.

A sense of powerlessness washed over her, and Bai Xi seemed to have all her strength stripped away in an instant. The spirit furnace and the sword disappeared at the same time, and the red light in her eyes also faded.

"Xixi!"

"Bai Xi!"

Three anxious voices overlapped. Bai Yue had already had her restraints lifted by Long Xingyu, and she rushed forward instantly, embracing Bai Xi in her arms.

"Mom, I'm so sleepy..."

Bai Xi hugged Bai Yue tightly in return, as if only in this way could she feel safe.

"Mommy's here, Xixi, be good, go to sleep in a little while, okay?"

Bai Yue gently coaxed Bai Xi, holding her cold hand tightly as she was exhausted, worried that something might happen to her after she fell asleep.

But Bai Xi was still asleep, her body emitting a faint red glow.

"Long Xingyu, look what you've done! Xixi is your daughter. She's been sickly since she was little. How could you test her like this!"

Bai Yue glared at Long Xingyu, wishing she could hit him a few times to vent her anger.

As for Long Haochen, he was completely bewildered by this series of changes. His only concern now was Bai Xi's safety.

"Mom, why are Xixi's hands sometimes cold and sometimes hot? I'm worried something might happen to Xixi!"

Long Haochen was so anxious he was about to cry.

"Let me take a look."

Out of a desire to make amends, Long Xingyu also squeezed in, forcefully entering the circle of the family of three.

Although Bai Yue and Long Haochen were both angry, this seemed to be the best solution. They could only give up their seats so that he could see what was wrong with Bai Xi.

Long Xingyu, who had hoped to take this opportunity to gather more information, frowned.

Within Bai Xi, there seemed to be a force resisting his prying eyes.

He was able to glean very little useful information: "Her body is very weak now, so weak that it can't support the power she possesses, which is why she's like this."

"It's nothing serious. I'll get her some medicine to take care of her later."

This sentence was used to comfort Bai Yue.

Bai Xi's current body is like a broken clay pot trying to contain a lake of water, which is actually quite dangerous.

"Haochen, what happened to you yesterday? Why does she look like she's just recovered from a serious illness?"

It's like being saved from the brink of death by a miraculous medicine. Although there are no visible injuries, the pulse can still be felt.

Of course, with Bai Yue standing nearby, Long Xingyu wouldn't dare say those words.

After all, in the middle of the night, he had confidently assured everyone that the two siblings would be fine.

"We had a lot going on yesterday."

Long Haochen was afraid that concealing the truth would affect Long Xingyu's rescue of Bai Xi, so he dared not hide anything and quickly recounted everything that had happened yesterday.

"I don't know what happened to Xixi after she fell into the lake. I searched for her in the lake for a long time, but I couldn't find her at all. It was as if she suddenly disappeared and then suddenly reappeared." Hearing Long Haochen's explanation, Bai Yue cried again with heartache.

Long Xingyu, on the other hand, felt somewhat embarrassed. He truly hadn't expected that an ordinary mission could lead to so much trouble.

After Long Xingyu prepared some medicine, Bai Xi's condition improved slightly, and she woke up.

They finally calmed down and had time to talk properly.

"Mom, he, he really is?"

After what had just happened, Long Haochen found it hard to say that nickname.

But he also knew that these things would have to be clarified sooner or later, and it would be better for him to ask.

"That's right, he's your heartless father. How could he treat you so cruelly? Don't you have any idea how much spiritual power you and Xixi have, or how much spiritual power he has?"

Bai Yue's voice was filled with complaint, but she still acknowledged Long Xingyu's identity.

Long Xingyu said with a wry smile, "I just wanted to test them to see if they could stay calm in battle, and to find out just how good Bai Xi really is, who has been hiding her true strength."

"I didn't expect them to be so stubborn, refusing to admit defeat or back down no matter what they did."

"You said they were stubborn, but you're the most stubborn one. They just took after you."

Bai Yue was still feeling lingering fear, so she spoke to Long Xingyu with a hint of anger.

But when she turns to the two children, she becomes very gentle.

“I’m sorry, Chenchen, Xixi. Mom hasn’t told you. A year ago, the day after Xixi went up Mount Odin with me, your father found me. But he was worried that he wouldn’t be able to train you properly after we recognized each other, so he asked me to help him hide the news of his return.”

Long Haochen quickly accepted Bai Yue's explanation; he never assumed malicious intent towards others.

But Bai Xi, forgive her for only trusting Bai Yue and not Long Xingyu.

Long Xingyu's malice towards her was genuine. It's likely that she wasn't the child Long Xingyu had hoped for, and he had no intention of acknowledging them, which is why he kept it a secret.

So she still sticks to her opinion that Long Xingyu is a scumbag father!
"Then why did you separate? I heard that Mom gave birth to us in Odin Town, which means that you separated while Mom was pregnant with us."

Bai Xi asked the question that concerned her: whether Long Xingyu had truly abandoned his wife and children.

Upon hearing this question, a look of pain flashed across Bai Yue's eyes, and her explanation was vague.

She only said that she had encountered something that caused her great pain, something she couldn't bear to recall, and that she didn't know how to face Long Xingyu. She couldn't accept it, so she took the initiative to leave. It was all her fault.

"Something very painful?"

Bai Xi pondered these words in her heart. She could see the faint hatred in Long Xingyu's complicated eyes when Bai Yue mentioned them.

Something significant must have happened ten years ago, before they were born.

Bai Xi wanted to get to the bottom of it, but Bai Yue clearly didn't want to say anything more. She felt that if she kept asking, her depression would relapse, so she didn't dare to ask anymore.

"It's okay, I'll find out the truth."

"Isn't it just decryption? I have plenty of time, I can decrypt it slowly."

Bai Xi solemnly told herself this, ignoring Long Xingyu's gaze that was fixed on her.

What a quirky person. She wants to ask but keeps not asking. Does she expect me to tell her on her own? She's not a mind reader and doesn't know what I want to ask.

"Bai Xi, who awakened your inner spiritual power? What is your magical attribute? How did you obtain your spiritual furnace? Has your spiritual power reached two hundred?"

After a long while, Long Xingyu finally asked the question, but his long string of questions sounded somewhat stiff, as if he were interrogating a criminal.
