Zhao Yulin felt ashad to face Jiang Feng.
The Fla Witch, though cold to her husband, showed a guilty expression toward her biological daughter, Chen Ying, without blaming her in the slightest.
Chen Ying had only ant to be filial, but was deceived and manipulated by the Ghost Woman she was also a victim.
Not to ntion, in order to uphold the promise made to the old Fla Empress, she remained beneath the Star Whispering Sky Tree for more than ten years without taking a single step away, completely ignoring her own daughter, Chen Ying giving birth but not raising her.
Granted, there were factors like the fact that as a demon she could no longer freely enter human territories, and her trust that her husband Zhao Yulin could care for Chen Ying but a mistake is a mistake.
At this mont, Chen Ying was in the midst of a massive psychological shock, squatting on the ground with her arms around her knees, trembling and at a complete loss.
Seeing this, Jiang Feng could no longer suppress her maternal instincts. Her graceful, fla-wreathed body drifted over, and she opened her arms to embrace her daughter.
"Mother!"
Chen Ying could no longer hold it in her tears surged out as she buried her head into the Fla Witch's embrace, feeling the scorching warmth of familial love. She did not mind that her mother had beco a demon.
She saw the deep blue ice spike impaled in Jiang Feng's chest, reached out to touch it, and softly said, "I'm sorry."
Mmmm~ The Fla Witch shook her head and let out a sound. Unfortunately, the divide between humans and demons ant that even if she wanted to comfort her daughter, she could not utter a word.
Beside them, Lu Jun stroked his chin at the touching scene. "Well, I guess this counts as a good ending, huh." He chuckled. Next, he'd have plenty of reasons to persuade the Fla Witch.
After Jiang Feng comforted her daughter, she floated in front of Lu Jun and gave him a solemn thanks.
Hearing this, Lu Jun could hear her inner voice and suddenly transmitted his thoughts, saying, "No need to thank . Do you want to stay by your daughter's side forever?"
She hesitated slightly and softly shook her head. As a demon, she could not enter human territory it would provoke mass attacks.
"That's not a problem. My sister is a fire-elent mage. You can possess her body—that way, you'll avoid human detection. Plus, we're backed by a Forbidden Curse-level powerhouse. You'll be protected."
Lu Jun coaxed her. In the original story, the Fla Witch used this exact thod to follow all the way from Dunhuang in the Northwest to the Southeast Magic City, determined to reclaim the Fla Calamity Fruit.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng hesitated.
He struck while the iron was hot: "It's no longer aningful to protect the Star Whispering Sky Tree. Dunhuang's scorched plains have changed it's nearly impossible for the tree to produce another Fla Empress. You've already fulfilled your promise to the old Fla Empress."
"And in reality, is there truly no one you long to see again?"
These words stirred sothing deep inside Jiang Feng's desolate heart. She rembered soone soone she deeply regretted.
Her mother, Madam Yan. Back then, despite opposition, she resolutely severed their mother-daughter relationship and married Zhao Yulin of the Zhao Clan.
Looking back now, the old lady's judgnt had been sharp Zhao Yulin was not soone worthy of entrusting her life to. And she hadn't even had a chance to apologize before dying in the scorched plains.
Back then, the old Fla Empress had revived her using the Fla Calamity Fruit, trading one life for another. Now, more than a decade had passed in this second life, and she still hadn't gone back.
At that mont, Chen Ying began pleading, "Mother, co back with us. See Grandma."
Jiang Feng was truly moved. Combined with the gratitude she felt toward Lu Jun, she agreed to stay by Lu i's side. If necessary, she could possess a fire-elent mage and walk openly in human society.
"Star Whispering Sky Tree, the Fla Empress lineage it will not be extinguished. If I achieve great cultivation in the future, I will surely find a suitable place to replant it. That will be my thanks to you for protecting my sister."
Lu Jun spoke firmly, another heavy blow.
Mmm! Jiang Feng was overwheld with gratitude she was practically becoming one of the Lu family herself.
Off to the side, Mo Fan stared wide-eyed at all this. "What the hell," he exclaid. "That Lu Jun moves fast"
A different kind of idea suddenly popped into his head. He shalessly ran up to Jiang Feng, grinning awkwardly, and said, "Sister Jiang, about the Fla Empress... would it be possible for to form a contract with her?"
"Those high-bloodline demon beasts often allow human Summoners to form contracts with their offspring. The Summoning Elent's Star Nebula can greatly nourish a demon beast's growth. Once the human grows old, the Summoned Beast, having matured, will return to its kin."
"Sister Jiang, think about it. You can live among humans, but the Fla Empress can't. Every Fire-elent Summoner would be drooling over her. It'd be much safer for her to have a master, and it'd also help her growth."
Mo Fan pulled every trick he had to coax and persuade.
Jiang Feng thought about it seriously it did seem to make sense. Plus, Mo Fan was one of her benefactors, so she agreed.
Oh yeah! Mo Fan cheered inwardly with joy. His trip wasn't in vain after all. He solemnly promised, "Don't worry, Lu Jun's vow to restore the Fla Empress lineage count in too."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jun shook his head with a smile. Mo Fan really had that classic flavor thick-skinned to the core.
But he had no intention of interfering. In fact, he fully supported it. He himself wasn't suited to form a contract with the Fla Empress, so there was no need to compete for it.
Besides, Jiang Feng, now a fully grown Fla Empress, was far more powerful than a newborn.
Moreover, Lu Jun knew well Jiang Feng had a powerful background. Her mother, from the Yan Clan, was a peak-level Half Forbidden Curse mage. Gaining such a connection was invaluable.
Of course, in the Yan Clan's secluded retreat of Yantai, a massive and terrifying threat still lurked.
Having slain the Ghost Won, the group was now reunited and joyful.
Lu Jun and his group prepared to return ho. They parted ways with Zhao Yulin and the others.
On the way back, Mo Fan was in high spirits, whistling as he walked. After all, he had just gained the Fla Empress. He suddenly turned and asked, "Hey Old Lu, how did you manage to hide in our team without anyone noticing? What ability did you use?"
Lu Jun simply smiled and said nothing.
Soon after, as the group crossed the Shawang River, they were shocked. Lu Jun deliberately summoned his Night Thunder Dreambeast, activating the Nightmare Domain, and cast his Psychic Invisibility Cloak, making the journey utterly unobstructed.
"Holy sh*t," Zhao Manyan shouted, "Mo Fan, President Lu is way stronger than your Xin Xia! His Summoned Beast is also psychic-type damn, that's the gap right there."
"Get lost, get lost. Xin Xia's cultivation isn't that high yet, nor is her spiritual strength."
Mo Fan imdiately stood up for his beloved little wife, waving his hand in disdain. "You guys used to call her Goddess Xin Xia. Now that soone has a Commander-level Dreambeast, suddenly she's just my 'little sis,' huh?"
The group smoothly exited the Scorched Plains. Just before reentering human territory, Jiang Feng's fla-like figure stepped forward and willingly rged into Lu i's body.
Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh!
In that instant, Lu i's aura transford. Her silky black hair turned bright red, her fair skin traced with mysterious patterns. She exuded exotic charm, her tall and graceful figure radiating like a true Fla Goddess.
Everyone present was stunned, gazing up in awe. "Sister Lu i is aweso... and gorgeous!"
Fortunately, Lu i quickly retracted the flas, returning to her normal appearance. Holding her brother's hand, she smiled slightly, clearly quite satisfied.
Then, Lu Jun and the others took a flight back to Magic City.
As for Zhang Xiaohou and his wife, they didn't follow. Their vacation had ended, and they returned directly to the military to report in.
