Chapter 1518: You Can’t Bully Him!

At the top of the lush, verdant tree, two pieces of red silk fluttered in the wind, entwined and nestled together.

Bai Zhi’er squinted at them, while Feng Fuce beside her felt quite satisfied.

But her heart forever felt as if it was submerged in an ice cavern, tormented.

After returning to the palace, Feng Fuce sensed she was not in high spirits and wanted to accompany her.

But Bai Zhi’er managed to persuade him to attend to his own affairs, and only then did Feng Fuce leave.

Later, Bai Zhi’er mustered her courage and walked to the outside of Mengxian Palace.

She hesitated for quite a while, and just as she was about to enter, she stood at the doorway, witnessing inside the pavilion her father and mother leaning on each other.

Bai Xilie was holding Jing Jia’s hand, practicing calligraphy.

Jing Jia smiled, "Why is your writing still so ugly?"

Bai Xilie furrowed his sword-like brows, "You distinctly said it looked good yesterday when practicing."

"That was yesterday! Today I just wanted to tease you." When Jing Jia was playful with Bai Xilie, she didn’t resemble a mother at all, but rather a spoiled young girl.

Bai Xilie pretended to bite her ear, and she giggled, dodging away.

Bai Zhi’er saw this scene and silently turned to leave.

All along the way, she was blaming herself.

"Mom and Dad have been apart for so many years, finally able to reunite together. How could I, for the sake of my own love, want to refuse taking on the duty of inheriting the Heavenly Dao..."

On the left is fulfilling the long-lasting companionship for her parents, on the right is being with Feng Fuce without reservation.

At this moment, Bai Zhi’er chose to sacrifice her own happiness to pray for lasting reunion for her parents.

The day before Bai Zhi’er’s Divine Enthronement Ceremony.

Jing Jia and Bai Xilie summoned her to their side.

In the grand hall, Bai Xilie’s expression was evidently somewhat helpless and unhappy.

Yet Jing Jia smiled gently, "Zhi Bao, come!"

Bai Zhi’er walked over, and Jing Jia pulled her to sit in between her parents.

"Dad, Mom, what’s going on?"

"I have already told your dad the true identities of us two."

Which means, Jing Jia had already confessed to Bai Xilie that she and her daughter were both Heavenly Dao.

Bai Zhi’er was surprised, not expecting her mother to announce it so suddenly.

She looked towards Bai Xilie, only to see his face full of helplessness: "I long knew your mom’s identity was not simple, yet never thought, as the Emperor of the Human World, she turns out to be the Empress of Heaven. Zhi’er, this time, your dad has truly reached for something beyond his grasp."

Bai Zhi’er burst into laughter, "It doesn’t matter, Dad, the greatest thing about you is that Mom only likes you!"

Bai Xilie’s face showed a bit of happiness: "Indeed."

Jing Jia then said, "I’ve also talked to your dad about Feng Fuce..."

She hadn’t finished when Bai Xilie grunted heavily, "This Marquis Wan, turns out to be your arch-enemy! Had I known earlier, I would never have kept him by my side."

The confidant he personally raised turned out to be his wife and daughter’s major enemy!

Truly speechless!

Bai Zhi’er felt tense and hurriedly spoke well for Feng Fuce.

"Dad, Brother Ce is not the evil Demon Lord of the past anymore. He is now a good person, and he is very important to me."

Bai Xilie looked at Bai Zhi’er, his face pained like someone whose family had been stolen.

He clutched his chest: "I always thought Marquis Wan was so earnest about you because of his duty, turns out I had overlooked, actually letting a wolf into the house... No way, call that brat over now, I need to hit him to vent my anger!"

Bai Zhi’er raised her voice: "You can’t bully him!"

"Look! She’s already defending him!" Bai Xilie complained to Jing Jia.
