Chapter 620: 91. Moli’s Running Away from Ho_3
“Mother, you taught since I was young that I should repay kindness,” I once promised Mr. Fischer that I would go ashore to reunite with him, that was my promise. Are you asking to break my word?”
Xuan Shen’s eyes twinkled slightly, but she maintained the sa posture she had before,
“War, the war of the Mythical Species… Moli, you and many others have been too comfortable for too long, you’ve forgotten the horrors of war. You have not seen the world shatter, you have not seen rivers of blood, you have not seen countless bones. I participated in that war, and I saved the ocean from evaporating…”
Hearing this, Moli’s eyes reddened, because every sentence, every word her mother described seed to portray Fischer’s end. She just found it unbearable, unable to accept such a fate,
“But Mother, you were once the mighty Ocean Emperor who terrified the seas. Are you going to beco a coward now? I don’t want to be that kind of Whale-man, I don’t want to hide!”
Xuan Shen’s expression turned cold, the drop in temperature spreading throughout the ocean, as if it intended to freeze the entire sea. The pressure in the sea surged abruptly, and the Golden Palace issued a massive cry, only the armor, filled with trophies of war, behind Xuan Shen remained steadfast.
In that instant, Moli felt the sea water around her pressing down relentlessly, pinning down every muscle in her body,
“Moli, during the war, Demon God Baal and Paimon were defeated by my hands, the entire Phoenix Species was no match for , Fermat Baha’s Dragon Court was tottering under my feet, Angel Species Yahweh’s wings were severed by , three wings cut off…”
Xuan Shen’s hair flowed slowly like a starry sky, setting off her surging aura that seed bottomless. In each of her calm and simple sentences, there were storms of blood and bones, but Xuan Shen, like the ocean, remained unshaken, sitting and staring at her daughter,
“I never thought about hiding. Without you, with this immature you, I could still stand with a sword on the sea surface, waiting for any enemy seeking death… You, a child still wet behind the ears, have no idea what war ans. It would be a tragedy like Mu Xi unfolding before you; a separation far more painful than your separation from that Human occurring in the ocean among all its people…”
“All you care about is that separating from that Human will cause you pain. Don’t you ever consider how I feel? If you die on the shore, do you think I wouldn’t be heartbroken?”
Above the throne, under that solid golden armor, sat the eternally unchanging Ocean Emperor Xuan Shen. Only today she spoke these words as a mother to Moli.
Outside, all the Whale-man Species had hidden themselves, even the Sea Beasts sensed the Ocean Emperor’s anger and contracted into themselves, fearing they would be next. They only glanced distantly at the Golden Palace, waiting for Xuan Shen’s temper to subside.
The hall gradually beca quiet. Moli, with so remorse, pursed her lips, realizing that her words had hurt her mother’s heart, and so she lowered her head and spoke softly,
“I’m sorry, Mother…”
“You have nothing to be sorry for. Now, go back to your room. You are not to co out without my command.”
“Okay…”
The sea water around Moli suddenly relaxed, lowering her from midair. She cautiously glanced at Xuan Shen, who had already closed her eyes to rest, said nothing, and swam deeper into the palace.
In a deep room within the palace, Moli’s room was very spacious. She lay tiredly on her golden bed, closed her eyes, trying to relax and fall asleep, but no matter what, she couldn’t do it. Whether she closed or opened her eyes, all she could think of was Fischer, always recalling his tragic death in the war, unable to put her mind at ease.
Mother was right, she was a sensible good child, she of course understood the reasoning, but she was also deeply concerned about Fischer…
“Ah, you’re back, Little Moli.”
Just then, a seemingly illusory and distant voice appeared in her ears—it sounded childlike, mischievous, and curious, seemingly very happy to see her.
“Lord Ramasitia, you’re back?”
“Mm-hmm, I missed Little Moli, and I ca back to see you arguing with Xuan Shen… Hmm, it seems her temper is as fiery as ever; otherwise, she wouldn’t have co into the Abyss to hit …”
Moli pouted, looking sowhat bewildered at the nothingness beside her, unsure of what to do, hoping Lord Ramasitia could offer so solution,
“Lord Ramasitia, what should I do… Mother says there will be a severe war coming, she is worried about my safety and doesn’t want to go ashore, but if I don’t go, Fischer might be in danger. I have to go to help him…”
“Hmm, this is really a tricky one…”
The illusory voice pondered for a mont, even sounding noticeably distressed, but the next second, it bounced back lively and ca up with a thought-out solution,
“Why don’t you just run away from ho?”
“Oh?”
