“Yu’er, I like good and obedient children the most. Since you have now repented, I will be your mother for the rest of your life if you recover, okay?” Bai Ning’s cooing words were like breaths of life for the dying girl, which in turn brought some sparks back into those eyes as she looked upwards.

  Auntie Ning is finally willing to be my mother? I won’t have to be an orphan without a mother anymore?

  Because of those words, the will to live once again returned to Ning Yu’s soul. Immediately, she opened up her resistant mouth and swallowed the medicine.

  However….

  The blood didn’t stop spilling despite the fact, it’s only getting worse.

  Bai Yan’s expression changed at the sight: “Her injury’s too severe, there’s nothing else I can do.”


  She may be an alchemist, but that doesn’t mean she’s a miracle worker. Those who have passed the threshold are beyond mortal means to save.

  Bai Ning’s hand quivered: “No, that can’t be. If one isn’t enough then two, hurry Yan’er, give me some more.”


  Ning Yu didn’t miss the shaking hand in front of her face of course. Making a bittersweet smile, the petite girl shook her head in acceptance: “Auntie Ning, I… I’m happily satisfied already if I can get your forgiveness before I die. Thank you for being my mother….”


  That’s enough, I don’t have any more regrets….

  That said, Ning Yu then gradually shifted her gaze over to Bai Yan’s side, seemingly wanting to say something else as a final will. Unfortunately, it’s at that exact moment a wave of fatigue swept over the girl’s eyes and caused her to mutter out some inaudible words while those eyes closed for the final time. But even so, that was enough, Bai Yan could still make out the words by reading those lips

  “Save… Auntie Ning.”


  ……


  Infuriated beyond words, Bai Yan couldn’t take this outcome. True she never did like Ning Yu from the first time she laid eyes on her, but even in death the girl was still looking out for her own mother! Whether it be for Bai Ning’s sake or for her own sense of righteousness, Bai Yan couldn’t let this death go unavenged!

  Swinging her sharp gaze over to the scum: “Is this what you wanted?”


  Ning Yuan didn’t reply right away, only staring down at the pool of blood coming out of his daughter’s body. Then as if struck out of his daze, he gnashes his teeth: “Ning’er treated her very good over the years, she dying like this is a good cause.”


  Against this type of answer, Bai Yan didn’t want to waste another word and gathered her composure by closing those eyes. Once she was ready, she promptly summoned her sword from the ground: “Dragon Flame, take my mother away NOW!”


  This time the old goat had no intention of failing like the last. He already saw what happened because of that so he lifted the woman up entirely over his shoulder and ran at full throttle.

  At first Bai Ning was still grieving from sorrow, but the order from her own daughter once again brought her back to an urgent state: “No, I can’t go even if I die, I have to be with my daughter damn you!’


  Unsure where the strength came from, Bai Ning suddenly found a burst of power from within and directly kicked the old goat to the ground in a tumbling roll.

  Naturally that wouldn’t be enough to keep the ancient dragon down. With blood dripping out of his mouth, he nevertheless got up again with a bitter smile.

  Oh what sin did I do in this lifetime? Why did I meet this pair of mother and daughter? Even if I don’t die by the younger one’s hand, I will be kicked to death at this rate!

  “Hoho!” Keeper Ling draws a sarcastic sneer, those eyes contemptuous when speaking: “I don’t know where you got the confidence in thinking any of you can escape.”
