Chapter 1519: Achieving Dreams, Yet Why Not Happy

Jing Jia reached out to hold Bai Xilie’s arm, her face full of smiles.

"I’ve long said that you’re slow to realize our daughter has been taken away by someone else, haven’t I? Now that things have come to this, don’t resort to violence. If you make Zhi’er sad, I won’t forgive you!"

With Jing Jia saying so, Bai Xilie could only resign himself.

He sighed, "Alright, Zhi’er, your mother and I have discussed it. For Feng Fuce to marry you, it’s not impossible, but he must pass my test."

However, when Bai Zhi’er heard this, she said, "Father, Mother, Brother Fu Ce and I are not planning to be together anymore."

The couple was taken aback, both sitting up straight.

"What?" Jing Jia was stunned. "You like him so much, Zhi’er, did you have a fight with him?"

Bai Xilie was even more furious, "He must have bullied you, right? My dear daughter, don’t be upset, I’ll go teach him a lesson for you!"

Bai Zhi’er quickly explained, "It has nothing to do with him, it’s my own one-sided decision. I am about to inherit the Heavenly Dao, and I wish to keep the world’s beings in my heart, rather than being bound by love."

Jing Jia and Bai Xilie exchanged a glance.

"You go out first, I need to speak with our daughter alone." Jing Jia ushered Bai Xilie away.

Reluctantly, Bai Xilie left.

"Zhi’er," Jing Jia held her hand, "Is it what I said last time that made you hesitate? You needn’t worry. Even if you are with the Demon Lord, you can quickly find the next Heavenly Dao as a successor."

"Besides, isn’t your mother still here? I can refuse to step down, and we can find the next Immortal Bone together to cultivate it into the Heavenly Dao, how about that?"

Bai Zhi’er gently shook her head, "Mother, you don’t need to persuade me anymore, my mind is made up. Since birth, I have known my role is to become the Heavenly Dao, and meeting Brother Fu Ce might have been a trial of fate for me."

"To become the Heavenly Dao, I must embrace great love and abandon myself." As she spoke, she lowered her head even more, her voice muffled, "To be a good Heavenly Dao, I have to let Brother Fu Ce down."

Jing Jia furrowed her brows, "But..."

"Mother, please keep it a secret for me. I haven’t confessed to Brother Fu Ce yet; I’ll find an appropriate opportunity to explain it to him." Bai Zhi’er finished speaking and quickly got up to leave.

She feared letting her mother see the tears in her eyes.

Jing Jia watched Bai Zhi’er’s departing figure through the door, worry filling her eyes.

As a mother, she knew all too well how many good words Bai Zhi’er had spoken for Feng Fuce.

Even someone like Jing Jia, who had deep impressions of the Demon Lord, was persuaded by Feng Fuce.

Their determination to be together was visible to everyone around.

But now, Bai Zhi’er intended to willingly give up the achievements she had worked so hard for.

Jing Jia truly worried for her.

...

The Sealing God Ceremony arrived.

The Heavenly Realm was replete with auspicious signs of tranquility.

Phoenixes soared together, Immortal Cranes sang, celestial music played in waves.

All notable figures from the Three Realms came to witness the Little Heavenly Dao’s enthronement.

Feng Fuce was among them.

He stood at the forefront of the immortals, his fiery red robe at odds with the surrounding immortals.

Yet he wore a light smile, as if with pride, gazing at Bai Zhi’er’s figure on the Immortal Platform.

His Little Demon Pet, today, could finally fulfill its wish to inherit the Heavenly Dao.

Beside Feng Fuce stood Yue Lao and Shou Xinggong.

The two old men trembled slightly, a bit nervous.

The legendary Demon Lord who killed without remorse was beside them!

At this moment, Bai Zhi’er, dressed in an elegant white gown, her head adorned with luxurious jewelry and shoulders draped in Immortal Silk, stood on the Immortal Platform. From a distance, she could see Feng Fuce clearly.

Under the beaded curtain, her beautiful, watery eyes appeared dim and spiritless.

This was originally the day she most looked forward to and was most happy about.

But today, she truly couldn’t feel joy.

It turned out that losing the most important person, even if you achieved all the success you had pursued, brought no happiness.
