Chapter 1231 - Ning Yu’s Death (4)
Ning Yuan’s figure openly shook after the burst of outcry. Instead of looking handsome, he’s visibly despairing on the face as blood drained from him.
“I already told you before, your actions will kill Auntie Ning!” Gritting fire between her teeth, the petite girl lashes out at the scum after having her prediction come true.
Despite the screaming words from his own daughter, Ning Yuan just blankly stared into the air and kept at it until the corner of his eye caught sight of the beloved woman he wanted so dearly. Perhaps this scum of humanity did feel regret for his actions right now and began to realize his own folly, but it didn’t matter anymore, those involved could care less about his emotions.
“Mother, there’s something else I want to tell you …” Bai Yan ignored the Keeper’s threat and continued to speak.
“What is it?” Bai Ning asks with a surprised note in her voice.
“My grandfather, uncle, father and grandmother are all waiting for you to come home so I don’t want you to possibly misunderstand them once you regain your memories. The one who secretly attacked you didn’t do so under the instruction of Grandfather, it’s a vile hag who loves Father in secret and did so behind everyone’s back. I hope you can forgive Father and his side of the family for not knowing and stopping it in time back then.” Pausing, a firm light flickers within Bai Yan’s eyes like she’s come to term with something, “And finally… Mother, I really do love you, I do….”
In that instant, Bai Ning just stared out in shock over the undeniable confirmation of their bond. She’s suspected as much, but it’s another thing to hear it aloud that it’s true.
Swish!
Suddenly, without giving anyone a chance to react, Bai Yan had pulled out her longsword (Godslayer) and slashed down at the ground between herself and her astonished mother. Immediately, a giant crack forms and forced the two apart in order to avoid falling into the chasm.
“Dragon Flame, take her away!”
That’s the first thing the old goat heard when he realized what Bai Yan had done. Hurrying to grab hold of Bai Ning’s arm, this ancient dragon did exactly as ordered and forcibly dragged the woman off.
“I’m not leaving, my daughter is still there, that’s my daughter!”
Bai Ning’s face appeared urgent and frantic, but despite the woman’s struggle to break free, her body refused to act like the mind wanted. It’s as if the ancient dragon had some strange power and pinned her to his hands.
“You let go of me this instant! If you don’t let go then don’t blame me for retaliating!”
Seeing how they’re getting further and further away from the valley, Bai Ning’s heart became increasingly more dire and stressed. Without thinking, she seriously attacked the old goat with a palm strike wrapped with an incredible amount of her own power.
Bang!
Spitting out a mouthful of blood from the impact to his chest, Dragon Flame didn’t get angry despite his goodwill and actually spoke kindly for once: “You are indeed stronger than that Ning Yuan, injuring my body is no easy feat. But unless you are at the Divine Lord level you can forget about breaking free of my restraints today! I promised her to take you away so I will do just that!”
Of course, the lady herself wasn’t some pushover either and the old goat’s overestimation of his own strength was a mistake. Before another word could be exchanged, Bai Ning’s body abruptly exploded with power, causing a torrent of wind to blow outward and blinding the ancient dragon’s eye.
Using this momentary lapse in view, Bai Ning instantly broke free from the grasp by sheer physical strength and ended ripping part of her own dress in the process. This allowed her the opening to fly back towards the valley where Bai Yan should be still.
Unfortunately for this desperate mother, the old goat wasn’t someone that could so easily be lost. In mere seconds, Dragon Flame had already caught back up and clung onto the lady’s waist like an anchor. Despite the numerous hits Bai Ning threw in frustration of this baggage, the darn dragon just won’t let go.
This is what I promised her, I won’t let go!
Dragon Flame gnashes his teeth and endures despite bruises cover his old face now.
