Suddenly, a little girl ca running into the house. She had seen Rean appearing and was excited. "Rean, Rean!"
Rean saw the little girl and smiled in response. "Oh, it's Rafatia. What is it, little lady? You don't seem to be that afraid of anymore. Why is that?"
Rafatia turned a little red before explaining, "The great Kentucky told you weren't a bad guy, and you helped mommy, so I decided to trust you as well."
Rean didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing that. "The great Kentucky said that, huh?"
Rafatia then quickly changed the topic soon after, asking, "Forget that. Where is Rana? She disappeared after you left."
That was obvious since Rana didn't really exist. It was basically Rean manipulating his Light Elent. Since he left, so did that fake Rana. "Oh, her? I'm sorry, little lady, but fairies are an extrely busy race. After she finished helping you and her business with , she returned ho."
"She's gone?!" Rafatia couldn't help but beco sad. "Will I see her again?"
Rean patted her head and nodded, telling her, "But of course! Didn't she say you're extrely cute? She loves cute little girls, so she'll definitely co back to see you again."
Rafatia's sad expression disappeared as fast as it ca. "Really?! Then I'll prepare a gift for her! Oh, right! The great Kentucky might have so good ideas." After that, the little girl stord out of the house.
Rean shrugged his shoulders as he looked at Falangia, asking her, "Were you like that when you were a kid?"
Falangia scratched the back of her head as she replied, "I'm not sure. There were rare monts when I could be carefree like that. Perhaps I would be if my life was different." However, she quickly made one thing clear. "Oh, don't get wrong. I would never want to get another life since that also ans I wouldn't have Rafatia in the end."
Rean nodded once he heard that. "That's obvious." It was then that he thought about sothing else. "By the way, who's her dad?"
Falangia's expression imdiately changed after that. It was as if she was reminiscing sothing unpleasant. "Sigh... usually, I wouldn't talk about it, but I guess it's fine with you. You know how rape and things like that are common here, right? It doesn't matter if you're a boy or a girl, but females obviously have it harder. Truth be told, I can rember at least three guys who might be her father. Obviously, I was only eleven, while those pieces of shit were adults with much higher cultivation. Anyways, you can guess the rest. Judging by the ti I noticed I was pregnant due to the lack of my period, it has to be one of them."
Rean sighed after hearing that. "I shouldn't have asked. But since I did, do you even know if they're still alive? With my abilities, it would be very easy to tell whether one of them is Rafatia's father or not."
Falangia shook her head, saying in response, "I have no idea. To be honest, I don't care either. What's the point in telling the father he has a daughter? Since they did that to , they probably did the sa to other girls. Chances are they have quite a few children by now and couldn't care less if they're alive or not."
Rean didn't condemn Falangia's thoughts. "If you have no interest in finding them, then so be it. In any case, it's not like you need the father anyway. You did a great job on your own so far."
After that, Rean changed the topic as it was already too dark. "Oh, right! The reason I ca back was to ask whether you still want to bring you to the center of the continent or stay here. With all the main tyrants' necks being held by the contracts, they'll have to work to make Dry Sky City a better place. From what I could tell with my Divine Sense, I got at least 80% of the strongest cultivators in this place. As for the rest, they won't cause trouble since that will bring the soulbound cultivators after them. At least for a hundred years, things in this city should improve."
Falangia shook her head in response. "That definitely sounds nice. However, it also ans I'm involved with the reason many of the low-level cultivators can't act as they did anymore. After all, you only made the high-level ones sign it. Those with lower cultivation that also used to rob, kill, rape, and do other heinous deeds will definitely want to get revenge for not being able to do it anymore. You, Roan, and Kentucky will be fine. No one could possibly touch you in this place. However, things are different for Rafatia and . In a certain way, Dry Sky City has beco even more dangerous for us than it has ever been."
Rean didn't mind it. "Very well. Once the ti cos, I'll bring you and your daughter to the center of the continent."
Falangia knew she was asking too much. Nevertheless, she couldn't help but do it for her daughter. "Rean... you said you ca from outside Treavin, right? Would you be able to bring Rafatia and out as well? From what you told , the other continents are a much better place to raise her."
"This..." Rean had to admit that would be difficult. "To be honest, Roan and I are traveling by ear. That being said, I'm not sure how we'll traverse the continental barrier between Treavin and Pol Continent. I'm not sure if Pol Continent is a better place either. Do you understand the risks involved? You might really die, or worse, Rafatia might die. On the other hand, I can guarantee that you'll obtain a safe passage to one of the cities in the center of the Treavin Continent."
Falangia was surprised to hear that. Not from what Rean said about the cities in the center of the continent. Instead, the way he put it, it seed like he was giving her a choice. Try to leave the continent or not.. That's the choice.
