Divine Seal: I am a saintess of the human race, but also the heir to the Demon God.

The Shield of Radiance can defend against impacts with less than 300 spiritual power.

After being infused with spiritual energy, its defensive capabilities will continue to increase, and the radiant spiritual energy emanating from it can block most of the negative effects of magic.

Moreover, if you have a Melting Stone, the shield can be repaired on its own unless it is severely damaged.

After listening to Bai Ling describe the shield's characteristics, Long Haochen looked at his sister with excitement, his eyes filled with admiration and joy.

"Sister, do you also want me to strive to become a Guardian Knight?"

"Ah."

Bai Ling nodded and explained in detail: "That shield is specifically designed for Guardian Knights below the fifth rank. A qualified Guardian Knight cannot protect his teammates with just his sword. I'm sure the old man has already told you in private what protection and punishment are, right?"

Long Haochen wholeheartedly agreed with his sister's words, because he also felt that he was suited to be a guardian knight, protecting his mother, his sister, and their happy little family.

However, when he remembered that Instructor Balza had said his sister was a light element priest, a rare find in Odin Town, he hesitated and asked, "Sister... do you think it's too late for me to switch to the Retribution Knight class now?"

Bai Ling: "..."

She gently dissuaded her imaginative younger brother: "A punitive knight is a knight who primarily attacks enemies. They usually use two-handed weapons, combined with mounts and offensive abilities, making them extremely powerful in individual combat. In what way do you fit the description of a punitive knight?"

Long Haochen was dejected.

He seems completely different from the punitive knight his sister described.

"However, since you want to train as a Retribution Knight, as your older sister, I will naturally not stop you."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Ling said reluctantly, "After you finish your daily training at the Knights' Hall, ask the old man more questions in your spare time. That guy knows a lot of cultivation secrets from the Knights' Hall of Bright Moon City, including the secrets of dual cultivation of Guardian and Punishment Knights."

As she spoke, she pinched Long Haochen's soft and bouncy face: "Don't think I can't guess what you're thinking. Who says a Light Priest doesn't have the ability to kill enemies in close combat? Just be a good guardian knight!"

Long Haochen thought about it and realized that his sister made a lot of sense. He decided to be a guardian knight and stay by his sister's side.

Let's set a small goal first.

By this time next year, he plans to raise his spiritual power to one hundred! He'll strive not to hold his sister back!

"Sister, stop rubbing! Your face will get all raw if you keep doing that!"

Long Haochen cried out and tried to stop his sister from pinching his face with her slender, long, nail-covered hands.

Bai Ling withdrew her demonic claws with a look of lingering satisfaction, and tossed her younger brother a ring with gold patterns.

This ring is almost identical to the one Cai'er gave to Long Haochen; it has a built-in shrinking and enlarging function, and also has the added function of storage.

Long Haochen took the ring, and with a slight thought, the longsword and shield disappeared before his eyes after a flash of white light.

Fun!

Long Haochen, who had unleashed his playful nature in front of his family, kept putting away his longsword and shield until they reached the door of his house. Only then did he obediently follow behind Bai Ling and shyly greet his mother, who was resting inside.

"Mother, we're back!"

"Just come back."

Bai Yue opened her eyes, got up and hugged her beloved daughter and son, and immediately took out the freshly heated food.

While setting out the bowls and chopsticks, she asked Long Haochen if the results of the squire knight exam had come out yet, and if he had encountered any strange passersby on the way...

The naive Long Haochen couldn't tell the difference between his mother's worried and carefree expression. Apart from the turmoil brought by the Palace Master and the unnecessary trouble, he told his mother everything that had happened that day.

Bai Yue listened and nodded.

When she heard Long Haochen describe how spectacular the blazing yet warm beam of light was during Bai Ling's spiritual power test, she immediately slammed the empty bowl she was holding onto the table.

Long Haochen tilted his head, puzzled, and asked, "Mother?"

Even Bai Ling put down her rice bowl and looked worriedly at her mother, whose face had turned slightly pale.

Bai Yue glanced at her daughter first, then straightened the wobbling bowl and forced a smile, saying, "It's alright, I'm just so proud of you all, I got a little emotional. Haochen, please continue..."

"Oh."

The somewhat naive and innocent Long Haochen nodded, continuing to speak while eating.

Bai Ling understood the underlying meaning in her mother's words and scrutinized the objects in the house.

Deep purple spiritual energy surged within his body.

Black spots appeared in his originally blue pupils, which resembled Long Haochen's, until they covered his entire eyeball.

Relying on her eyes, unique to the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon clan that stood at the top of the demon race, Bai Ling saw everything she wanted to see.

A disheveled middle-aged man, covered in demonic spirits and with his spiritual power surging like a waterfall, stepped into the house.

After observing the surroundings for a moment, he followed the illusory spiritual energy his mother had created in the air and entered the backyard.

Then, an astonishing surge of spiritual energy erupted in the courtyard.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the owner of the spiritual power withdrew the boundless spiritual power and returned to the house to sit down.

Her mother followed closely behind, sitting beside her.

Later, the man darted to the window and then disappeared again.

This is the end.

Bai Ling's search is complete.

From her eyes, she knew who the culprit was that had upset her mother today.

It's Long Xingyu.

This person is also the biological father that the mother is unwilling to mention to her and Long Haochen.

He is the Temple Master of the Knight Temple in the Holy Temple Alliance of the Holy Demon Continent, and a Retribution Knight specializing in Retribution.

At the same time, he is also the owner of the "Throne of the God of Doomsday and Slaughter" and the Knight of the God of Judgment and Trial.

unlucky.

Bai Ling couldn't help but spit on Long Xingyu in her heart.

Possessing the bloodline of a demonic dragon, she is no ordinary person.

Just now, images of arguments between her father and mother during her infancy flashed through her mind.

"He's asking for trouble, and he's forcing himself to suffer" perfectly describes Long Xingyu.

Taking a deep breath and clenching her fists, Bai Ling barely managed to calm the surging dragon blood within her.

No.

Now is not the time to turn against Long Xingyu.

After finishing her meal, while her younger brother Long Haochen went to the backyard to cultivate, Bai Ling cleared her throat and knocked on her mother's door.

She planned to have a proper talk with her mother about Long Haochen's future before her father, Long Xingyu, returned from the Knights' Hall.

"Enter."

As soon as Bai Ling opened the door, she saw her mother sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a black box in her hands.

The black box was printed with patterns she couldn't understand, as if it were the work of a magician, or a binding magic circle given by the priests.

Bai Ling felt something was off about it no matter how she looked at it.

However, the dragon blood within her body began to boil and surge due to the appearance of the black box, causing her to involuntarily ask, "Mother, what is this?"

Bai Yue touched the long-sealed box, looking both nervous and excited.

"This is the only thing your grandfather ever gave me. Now, I'm giving it to you. Your mother hopes it can provide some small help to your cultivation."

"hiss."
