In his daughter's heart, was he a father who only had the demon realm and no family?
Having finally recovered from her overwhelming surprise, Liu Lanyan, upon hearing her father's words, refused without hesitation: "No..."
"Lanyan, don't be childish," Liu Wenxiu whispered to Liu Lanyan. "How will you face this? Be good and listen to me."
“That’s right, how can we feel at ease with you over there by yourself?” Liu Lanyan’s mother said anxiously.
They couldn't control the fate of the demon realm, but at least they couldn't let their daughter perish there.
"Lan Yan isn't alone." The sudden voice and figure shocked everyone.
Mo Yun entered Liu Lanyan's room at some point, stood beside her, and said with a smile to the image in the air, "I will protect Lanyan."
"You..." Liu Lanyan's father exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar gentle man, "Lord?"
God of the Demon Realm?
Mo Yun nodded with a smile: "Please rest assured, elders, with me here, no one will harm Lan Yan in the slightest."
The Demon God's words left Liu Lanyan's parents looking at each other in bewilderment. They had learned about Lanyan's relationship with the Demon God from Liu Wenxiu, but receiving such a guarantee "face-to-face" from the Demon God still made them feel uneasy.
Seeing that Liu Lanyan's parents were still hesitating, Mo Yun continued, "The armies of the immortal and demon realms are about to reach the outside of the demon realm. Even if you come now, it won't make much difference."
Mo Yun turned his head and looked at Liu Lanyan tenderly before continuing, "I cannot leave the Demon Realm at this time. I will not leave Lanyan unless I leave her. I have already implicated Lanyan, and if I were to implicate her family as well, I would feel even more uneasy."
"Please rest assured, both of you. I guarantee with my life that anyone who wants to kill Lan Yan will have to step over my dead body first," Mo Yun said resolutely.
Since the demon god has already said so much, what can Liu Lanyan's parents say?
Stepping over the corpse of a demon god?
I wonder if there are any such capable people in the Three Realms.
However, this at least put their minds at ease, as they could be certain that nothing serious would happen to Liu Lanyan.
Liu Wenxiu, standing to the side, echoed the Demon God's words and advised his parents, "Yes, we shouldn't go. Going there will only distract Lanyan and the others."
This is also true.
If the Demon God only takes care of Lan Yan, there will be absolutely no problem.
But taking care of all three of them would be a huge distraction.
If they insist on going there, it will likely bring danger rather than benefit Liu Lanyan.
"Lord, I hope you can keep your word." Even when facing the Demon God, Lan Yan's father did not back down in the slightest for the sake of his daughter, and insisted on the Demon God's guarantee.
"Absolutely." Mo Yun nodded solemnly.
"After the matter in the Three Realms, come back immediately, do you hear me?" Lan Yan's father was clearly worried about Liu Lan Yan, but years of habit had made him unable to say anything gentle, and he gave her a harsh order.
Only they themselves know how much care and worry were contained in those cold, hard words.
"Mmm." Liu Lanyan nodded frantically, not daring to speak, afraid that if she spoke, she would choke out a sob.
Mo Yun nodded and smiled at Liu Wenxiu and the others, helping Liu Lanyan end this contact.
After the images of her parents and brothers disappeared, Liu Lanyan could no longer hold on and collapsed into the arms of the demon god, sobbing as if she had suffered endless grievances.
Mo Yun said nothing, only held her tightly, letting Liu Lanyan slowly calm down her agitated emotions. At the same time, he was also thinking about a question: if Liu Lanyan's mother hadn't noticed something earlier, could it be that...?
Chapter 147 The Realm of Despair
Liu Lanyan vented her anger in the Demon God's arms for a long time; she had actually been worried the whole time.
She knew how loyal her father was to the demon realm, and she was afraid that if he woke up in the future, he would blame her or even ignore her for taking it upon himself to send him away from the demon realm.
In fact, she had made preparations for the worst, which was nothing more than her father ignoring her and disowning her.
She accepted it.
As long as my family is safe and sound, that's all that matters.
She truly hadn't expected that her father's first reaction upon waking up would be this.
Returning to the demon realm was not for the demon realm itself, but for her.
How could she not be excited?
The warm embrace gave her a reason to feel at ease. After venting her intense emotions, Liu Lanyan buried her head in the Demon God's arms, feeling a little embarrassed. How shameful!
She carefully rubbed her cheek against the demon god's chest, feeling her face burning hot.
Feeling the arms that had been wrapped around her tighten slightly, and after gently patting her twice, the demon god's questioning voice sounded above her head: "Lanyan, is your mother human?"
Mentioning this, Liu Lanyan's attention was immediately diverted. She got up from the demon god's arms, stared at the demon god with bright eyes, and nodded: "Yes, my mother is human."
Mo Yun frowned in surprise: "But the power she possesses is... demonic power?"
He couldn't be mistaken; that was indeed demonic power.
But for a human to cultivate demonic power...
"Yes, my mother was human. After meeting my father, she began to cultivate demonic power." She learned this by accident, and it made her sigh with regret.
Unexpectedly, her mother's feelings for her father were so deep that she went to cultivate demonic power in order to stay in the demon realm.
"If humans cultivate demonic power..." Mo Yun's eyes flickered; he did know one possibility.
Others might not know this, but how could a demon god not know?
Liu Lanyan didn't hide anything from the Demon God and nodded, saying, "That's right, it's the Underworld."
"My mother went to the underworld and underwent its trials." Mentioning this, Liu Lanyan shuddered inexplicably.
Anyone who knows this method will shudder.
It's not really a huge secret; anyone with a bit of knowledge would know about this secret of the underworld.
Within the underworld lies a fiery realm, also known as the Realm of Despair.
It was a sea of fire, and the temperature rose higher the closer you got to the inside.
In fact, you don't need to go to the deepest part. As long as you get close, before you even reach the Realm of Despair, you will be roasted by the blazing flames until your skin is torn and your flesh is ripped apart.
It is an excellent place for cultivation, but its excellence inevitably comes at the cost of equal sacrifice.
"My mother spent two years in a place close to the Realm of Despair before she developed the physique to cultivate demonic power." Mentioning this, Liu Lanyan felt a chill run down her spine for no reason, because it was her mother who had suffered so much.
Many people know about the Despair Zone of the Underworld, but very few actually go there to cultivate.
Before even approaching the Realm of Despair, one would be scorched by the terrifying power of the flames, the pain not only affecting the body but also searing the soul.
My mother spent two years there, which was absolutely the limit of what she could ever go on.
