Chapter 1460 - 426: I Am Your Daughter, I Come from the Future

Lu Yaoyao shook her head: "No, it’s not like that. I’ve never had a name since I was born, my father only called me ’girl’."

She paused, her voice lowered: "In my memory, that year my father was seriously injured, and it seemed like the pursuers were more than just the Demon Emperor. He temporarily left me with a hunter family surnamed Lu."

"Three years later, my father came to take me and named me Lu Yaoyao."

She looked up at Shen Hanyi and said softly, "I always thought my mother was also surnamed Lu, and I had taken her surname."

"So at first..." Her voice lowered, "I secretly observed all the women surnamed Lu around my father."

Shen Hanyi heard this, tears silently fell.

She suddenly stood up and gently embraced Lu Yaoyao.

"I didn’t expect... your life in the future would be so hard."

The sudden embrace made Lu Yaoyao burst into tears, and she hugged Shen Hanyi tightly: "All these years, I have been searching for my mother’s whereabouts, wanting to know why she abandoned us back then, ignoring my father and me."

"But Sister Shen... no, mother, I know you must have had your reasons."

Zhou Qing watched the mother and daughter embrace, his fists clenched white.

At that moment, Lu Yaoyao’s lower body suddenly turned transparent.

Everyone’s expressions changed dramatically—earlier it was only her arm transparent, how could it deteriorate so quickly?

Lu Yaoyao looked at her gradually disappearing body and cast her gaze towards Shen Hanyi’s abdomen: "It seems... the tiny me is about to be born."

As soon as she finished speaking, her body returned to its original state.

This scene made the hearts of all three present ache.

"It’s okay," Lu Yaoyao instead gave a bright smile, her eyes filled with tears but her smile radiant.

"At least on this timeline, I’ve seen my funny and capable father in his youth, and my beautiful and cool mother."

She paused, her voice gentle, "In the past, I might have feared disappearing, but now I don’t."

She turned to Zhou Qing, her eyes full of tenderness: "On the future timeline, if father finds out I’m gone, I can’t imagine how worried he’ll be. He must be searching the world for me..."

At this point, her eyes suddenly lit up, "By the way! I’ve also comprehended the Realm of Filial Piety. If I encounter future father, I can even conjure mother to alleviate his longing, so he won’t feel so sad."

Zhou Qing heard this, his eyes reddened, his voice hoarse: "I don’t know what will happen in the future, but such a thing, I will never let it happen again."

He looked at Shen Hanyi, then at Lu Yaoyao, speaking slowly, "I will use my life to protect you both, and not let anyone harm you."

Lu Yaoyao looked at Zhou Qing’s determined face and spoke softly: "I believe you. It’s just that I’m so useless, even now I haven’t figured out what really happened back then, unable to help you avoid danger..."

Her voice lowered, "Now I must leave, I can only choose to tell you everything I know."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became suffocating and oppressive.

Shen Yunzhou suddenly gasped—Lu Yaoyao came to this timeline at the age of twelve, and now his sister is about to give birth, doesn’t it mean...

The major change is in these few years?

And it’s been chased since the day she can remember...

This frightening speculation simultaneously surfaced in both Zhou Qing and Shen Hanyi’s minds.

Their hands unconsciously tightened, both seeing determination in each other’s eyes.

"By the way!" Lu Yaoyao suddenly remembered something, her eyes flashed with brilliance, "Yu Yan sister is really nice! She is father’s most loyal follower."

"One day she suddenly found us, always protected us, and brought beast milk drink for me..."

Her voice suddenly choked, "But later the Demon Emperor was too many, she alone lured away several... By the time father arrived, she had... chosen to self-destruct..."

Zhou Qing and Shen Hanyi both shook simultaneously, remembering Yu Yan’s farewell two months ago.

So that’s it... No wonder back in the Holy Martial Dynasty, Lu Yaoyao couldn’t help but cry when she saw Yu Yan.

Zhou Qing’s heart sank sharply, guessing rightly, Yu Yan sacrificing herself to protect them was because he once saved her life from Yama’s hand, she repaid his kindness with her life.

This thought made Zhou Qing feel cold all over—as such, the gears of fate have already started to turn, those terrifying futures quietly becoming reality?

"I’m sorry—" Lu Yaoyao suddenly collapsed in tears, "I really can’t think of any more useful clues..."

Her voice was filled with self-blame and helplessness, as if she were a child who had done something wrong.

Shen Hanyi gently held her in her arms, her slender fingers softly brushed over her hair, her voice gentler than ever: "It’s okay, you’ve already done incredibly well."

Lu Yaoyao buried her head deep in Shen Hanyi’s embrace, her frail shoulders trembling violently: "Mother... I really miss you... Those three years with the hunter family, the kids there called me a wild child without parents..."

Her voice was fragmented, the grievance heart-wrenching, "Every night...I would draw a mother figure with tree branches on the ground...then lie beside the drawing...pretend to be lying in mother’s arms to fall asleep..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Hanyi felt her heart was like being tightly squeezed by an invisible hand, the pain almost suffocating.

Zhou Qing could no longer control himself, turned and punched the wall.

Shen Yunzhou suddenly averted his gaze, his adam’s apple rolled violently a few times, secretly wiped his reddened eyes with his sleeve.

Shen Hanyi lifted her tear-filled eyes, and when her gaze met with Zhou Qing’s, they saw the same pain in each other’s eyes.

She gently shook her head, signaling to him to temporarily leave—the now emotional Lu Yaoyao needed a quiet time to calm her mind.
