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

Chapter 28 Are you going to abandon us again?

Zhuque was almost crying. Why did its master always like to court death? He had died once but still couldn't change this habit. He was too willful.

"Alright, alright, I was just thinking about it. I value my life. You can go back to sleep."

Bai Xi had only considered it briefly, but she didn't expect Zhu Que to be so excited.

"Only by breaking the fifth seal can I try to summon you. I just want to see you."

Although the Vermilion Bird was in Bai Xi's spiritual sea, it was sealed along with Bai Xi's power, so Bai Xi could not see it at all, but could only hear its voice and sense its presence.

Her words made Zhuque feel guilty, and he couldn't sleep at all.

Thinking to himself, he realized he was also sealed away, unable to help Bai Xi with anything, and could only worry helplessly when danger arose. He felt utterly incompetent.

Bai Xi was unaware of all this; she was still preoccupied with how to break the fourth seal!

By this time, Long Xingyu had resolved the matters in Odin Town and returned to Mount Odin with the brother and sister.

At the summit of Mount Oding, Bai Yue was already waiting.

As soon as Bai Xi landed, she rushed towards Bai Yue, who opened her arms and caught her steadily.

"Mom, I miss you so much!"

"Mom misses Xixi too."

"Dad, you are...you really are a Divine Knight..."

Long Haochen was so excited that he couldn't utter a complete sentence, and his eyes were full of admiration as he looked at Long Xingyu.

People naturally admire strength and tend to gravitate towards the strong, and Bai Xi is no exception.

Seeing the admiration in Bai Xi's eyes, Long Xingyu was immediately happy and proud. This was the kind of look children should have when they look at their father.

“That’s right, I am a Divine Knight, but I am also your father. In front of you, I only have one identity: father.”

With just one sentence, he won the affection of the brother and sister once again.

Long Xingyu was happy again.

If he had known it would be so easy to win over these two little ones, he would have declared himself a Divine Knight long ago.

"Dad, Xixi and I will also work hard to cultivate and become Divine Knights like you as soon as possible!"

Long Haochen's desire for strength and confidence were also ignited. In his current understanding, becoming a Divine Knight would be his ultimate goal.

"Good! I'll be waiting for the day you become Divine Knights! You will definitely become Divine Knights before I do."

Instead of discouraging the children, Long Xingyu earnestly encouraged them.

After a brief moment of happiness, Long Xingyu frowned again.

"This was just a probing attack. No real demon powerhouses appeared. It seems I have to return to the Alliance ahead of schedule."

"what?"

Long Haochen and Bai Xi both looked up in surprise.

"What happened?"

"There are some things to take care of, but you don't need to worry about them. I will handle everything."

Long Xingyu had no intention of telling them the truth.

This caused Bai Xi and Long Haochen to turn their heads away, one on each side, and let out a soft hum.

Why are adults always so annoying, treating them like children, presumptuously thinking they're doing it for their own good, and refusing to tell them anything?

No matter how subtly the siblings tried to inquire, Bai Yuelong and Xingyu refused to tell them the true identity of their maternal grandfather.

It's the same now; they refuse to tell them what happened.

"So, you're saying that those who go back to that alliance don't include us? Are you going to abandon us again?"

Bai Xi found a loophole in Long Xingyu's words and asked a soul-searching question, the word "again" striking straight to the heart.

Because once they're brought back to the Alliance, whatever happened will be impossible to hide from them completely. Before Long Xingyu could answer, he began to condemn.

"You're really heartless, huh."

Long Xingyu was truly torn; he didn't know whether he should bring Bai Xi and Long Haochen back to the Alliance.

He wanted to protect the brother and sister under his wing.

They also feared that sheltering them might backfire and hinder their growth.

Unable to make a quick decision, he chose to procrastinate.

They immediately changed the subject, disappointingly asking about the child's cultivation.

"I just saw that you're quite strong. How much spiritual power do you have now? You haven't neglected your cultivation for over a year, have you? Don't let Haochen surpass you, or you'll have to call him 'brother'."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xi immediately lowered her head, looking dejected.

"Of course, I can't compare to the Divine Knight who starts with 100,000 spiritual power. I'm just a nobody with only a little over 1,000 spiritual power."

"It doesn't matter if your spiritual power isn't high... Wait! How much spiritual power did you say you have?"

Seeing her dejected look, Long Xingyu was about to comfort her when he realized that Bai Xi had said more than a thousand, not more than a hundred.

"More than a thousand? That's a fourth-tier, level four knight!"

Long Haochen and Long Xingyu spoke at the same time, their voices filled with surprise and joy. They never expected their daughter (sister) to be so amazing!

"A fourth-tier, level-four knight who is not even twelve years old?"

"Xixi, you will definitely become the youngest Divine Seal Knight."

They were all excited and delighted by Bai Xi's talent.

Bai Xi was already incredibly surprised by the number 1000, but they still couldn't say the exact number 1500. They corrected her that it was actually fourth-order, seventh-level.

Instead, she asked about Long Haochen's spiritual power, "Chenchen, how high is your spiritual power? Don't let me leave you too far behind."

“I’m a little lower than you; I’m a fourth-tier, third-level Grand Knight.”

Long Haochen has always been very diligent in his cultivation, and coupled with his excellent talent, his progress has been remarkable.

However, thinking of Bai Xi's spiritual power, Long Haochen was still somewhat disappointed.

It wasn't jealousy, but rather the realization that he couldn't protect Bai Xi and felt powerless.

Bai Xi noticed Long Haochen's mood, but instead of trying to comfort him, she started teasing Long Xingyu.

"Old Dragon, you're not doing a very good job! Didn't you say that if you become a Tier 3 Level 1 Knight before the age of 20, you can go to the Knight's Holy Mountain to get a mount?"

"He's already at Tier 4, Level 3, where's his mount? Aren't you going to help him get one?"

"I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of mount he gets, preferably a beautiful one."

Long Xingyu: ……

"Just say you want a mount."

Long Xingyu was constantly annoyed by Bai Xi. He didn't know who the child took after, but he felt uncomfortable if he didn't annoy her every day.

"Hehe, I'm just curious about Knight's Holy Mountain. But Chenchen really needs a mount, so why don't you take us there before you leave?"

After saying that, Bai Xi added in her mind, "I have a mount, the Vermilion Bird is the best mount."

Hearing Bai Xi bring up their departure again, Bai Yue and Long Xingyu felt terrible; they simply couldn't bear to leave their two children behind.

Long Xingyu suddenly felt less conflicted.

"I'll take you with me, so that all four of us can be together."

"what?"

Now Long Haochen and Bai Xi were in a bit of a dilemma again.
