As the commander-in-chief of the allied forces, he would inevitably be charging into battle and would have no time to spare to protect Xiaoman.

Should we leave Xiaoman in the Demon Palace?

If Guiya launches a sneak attack from the rear, the Demon Palace will be destroyed, and my daughter will be plunged into eternal damnation.

Instead, she followed Hu Qingye to the Azure Sky Realm, which, although risky, offered the only hope of curing her.

Moreover, as the Azure Sky God King, as long as Hu Qingye is alive in his territory, Xiaoman has a glimmer of hope.

This seems to be the only option at the moment.

Jun Yichen slowly opened his eyes, the struggle and pain in his eyes gradually fading away, replaced by the heavy determination of a father.

He turned around and squatted down, gently stroking his daughter's soft cheek with his large hand. Even though he knew she couldn't see, he still kept his gaze level with hers, his voice terribly hoarse: "Xiaoman."

"Father has something to ask you, and you must answer Father seriously, okay?"

Hu Xiaoman noticed that her father was in a particularly heavy mood, so she stopped playing with the hem of her clothes, nodded obediently, and replied softly, "Yes, Daddy, please tell me, Xiaoman is listening."

"You want to stay in the Demon Palace and wait for your father to finish everything so he can come back and eat honey cakes and play games with you..."

Jun Yichen paused, his throat feeling like it was blocked by a boulder, each word incredibly difficult to utter, "Or... do you want to go to a very far place with Da Yezi?"

Hu Xiaoman smiled: "Da Yezi said that there are many, many candied hawthorns there that are even sweeter than those in the Demon Palace."

"But Xiaoman can't bear to part with her father, aunties, Aunt Mengmeng, Aunt Lingling, Little Sweetie, Little Tianyou..."

Fox Qingye's voice was gentle: "Xiaoman, the place that Da Yezi took you to may still have a spring that can heal Xiaoman's eyes, allowing Xiaoman to see her father, her mother, and all the beautiful things in this world again."

Hu Xiaoman was stunned. She bit her lip with her little finger, tilted her round head, and fell into a long and conflicted silence.

Although her mind was damaged, the instincts etched into her bones never disappeared.

She couldn't bear to part with her father. His embrace was always warm and comforting, her safest haven, and a mountain she could rely on no matter what.

Yet, deep in my heart, the natural affinity for "big leaves" quietly entwined itself like vines, transcending the fragmented memories and taking root in my soul.

As long as he was by her side, she felt overjoyed and couldn't help but want to get closer and grasp that gentle aura.

Moreover, Hu Qingye's words touched upon her deepest, most secret desires.

Can you see it?

Hu Xiaoman murmured softly, a faint glimmer of hope appearing in her hazy eyes.

She was actually most afraid of the dark, though she never said it. But every time she woke up and fell into endless darkness, the suffocating fear would make her eyes sting and she couldn't help but cry.

She wanted to see the light, to see the fragrant red velvet flower in her hair, to see her father and Da Yezi's faces clearly, and to see the world they protected.

"I think……"

After hesitating for a long time, Hu Xiaoman finally slowly stretched out her little hand and gently touched the air.

This time, instead of reaching for Jun Yichen who was so close, she timidly reached out towards Hu Qingye.

Hu Qingye immediately stepped forward and gently placed the hem of her clothes into her palm.

Hu Xiaoman clutched the soft fabric tightly, as if grasping a lifeline. Her small body trembled slightly, and her voice was barely audible, tinged with guilt for her father's anger: "Father, I want to be with Da Yezi..."

"I want to eat candied hawthorns, I want to... see the light, see my father and mother."

She looked up at Jun Yichen and whispered, "Father... will you come to see me?"

Upon hearing these words, Jun Yichen felt as if his heart had been pierced by countless fine needles and torn apart, the pain almost making it hard to breathe.

But he forced back the tears welling up in his eyes.

She smiled, the corners of her lips curving upwards.

This was his daughter's choice, and it was also a way for her to regain her sight and return to normal. Despite his reluctance, he could only grant her wish.

"meeting."

Jun Yichen nodded heavily: "Father will definitely come to see you."

"Once Father drives away all the bad guys and rescues Mother from the Ghost Realm, our whole family will go to the Azure Sky Realm to bring you home, and we'll never be apart again."

After saying that, Jun Yichen slowly stood up, gently placing his large hand on Hu Xiaoman's shoulder. A wisp of pure and gentle divine power quietly entered her body, carefully examining the condition of the Western Spirit Pearl.

Still.

Jun Yichen breathed a sigh of relief. Although the aura of the Western Spirit Pearl was weak, it was still slowly circulating, firmly protecting her heart meridian.

In the event of a life-or-death crisis, it can unleash its primal power to save her life.

After doing all this, Jun Yichen turned around to face Hu Qingye.

At this moment, he shed all the tenderness of a father and transformed back into the ruthless and decisive god who struck fear into the hearts of the six realms, his body as cold as a knife.

"Take her away."

"Hu Qingye, if she loses even a single hair, if she suffers even the slightest injustice in the Azure Sky Realm, if she suffers even the slightest mishap..."

"I will pluck out every single one of your prized Azure Phoenix feathers and make them into a scarf, so that you will never have peace for all eternity!"

The four people outside the door: "..."

Is Myojin's neck cold?

Why do I always want to pluck Qingye's hair to make a scarf?

Faced with this blatant and deadly threat, Hu Qingye bowed solemnly and performed the most devout salute to Jun Yichen, her expression solemn and her vow resounding: "Rest assured, God."

"As long as I live, she will be there."

"If I break this oath, may I be struck down by heaven and earth, my soul and spirit be destroyed, and I be condemned to eternal damnation!"

The decision has been made and there is no time to lose.

The situation in the Azure Sky Realm is constantly changing, and every moment of delay increases the danger.

Hu Qingye dared not linger and immediately decided to set off.

He slowly bent down and gently lifted Hu Xiaoman into his arms.

Hu Xiaoman seemed to sense the atmosphere of parting, and obediently nestled in his arms, her little hands tightly clutching the bag of top-grade spirit stone candies that Jun Yichen had just given her, so quiet that it was heartbreaking.

The group left the sleeping quarters and arrived at the Demon Palace's spacious white jade plaza.

The news had already spread throughout the Demon Palace. Upon learning that Xiaoman was going to Qingkong Realm with Hu Qingye for treatment, everyone who was busy in various places put down their work and rushed over from all directions to see her off.

Ah Yao was still wearing a bright red dress, and although her hair was still a bit dry, she looked much better.

She stood at the front of the crowd, her eyes red-rimmed, carrying a heavy, enormous package in her hand, her voice choked with emotion: "Xiaoman... these are the best spiritual fruits I brought from the demon realm."

"There are a few more robes that are impervious to water and fire. You must remember to wear them so you don't get cold or hungry."

Yue Shu stood silently behind A Yao, her emerald eyes filled with reluctance as she silently placed several bottles of spiritual dew, condensed with the essence of life, into Hu Qingye's hands.
