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

Bai Ling gasped.

She never expected that what her mother was holding was a gift from the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu himself.

What's inside?

A life-saving item? A medium to summon the Demon Emperor? A key to return to the Demon City's Heart?

Seeing the curiosity in her daughter's eyes, Bai Yue shook her head: "I don't know."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ling withdrew her gaze and sat down next to her mother.

Just like when she was a child, after playing with Long Haochen until she was tired, she would monopolize her mother's space and snuggle in her mother's arms to rest.

Bai Ling pinched her mother's soft hair with her fingertips and said casually, "Mother, although I am still young, I can now make sure you and my brother live a good life. If not, let's leave, leave Odin Town, and settle in other prosperous cities."

Bai Yue paused slightly, masking the bitterness in her eyes with a smile, and gently patted her daughter's head: "Why did you bring up moving out of the blue?"

For Bai Yue, she is the eldest daughter of Bai Ling's family, and also a rare mixed-race child who inherited her father's family's heaven-defying demonic dragon devouring talent.

Therefore, she would tell her daughter everything without reservation, as long as her daughter asked her.

With her eyes closed, Bai Ling said softly, "From the moment I entered the door, I saw you, Mother, constantly looking behind us. At the dinner table, you kept asking my brother about strangers, and now, you've suddenly given me this gift from Grandpa..."

After saying that, Bai Ling suddenly opened her eyes, suppressing the tyrannical nature of the dragon race, cupped her mother's cheeks, and said stubbornly, "Is it... that person has returned?"

Upon hearing her daughter's words, Bai Yue's eyes widened in surprise.

She never imagined that her daughter would notice these details and deduce that a stranger had entered the house.

Moreover, this stranger was someone she knew, someone who could cause her emotional distress.

Bai Yue subconsciously retorted to her daughter, saying that she was not yet ready for Long Haochen to accept her father.

Moreover, she was in a very confused state of mind at the moment.

It's so chaotic that I don't know whether I should let Long Xingyu recognize the two siblings as their father.

Bai Ling's long black eyelashes trembled slightly, temporarily obscuring the dark, dull light, revealing her morbidly crazed pupils.

Her expression was somewhat aggrieved, and her slightly hoarse voice was like a weeping nightingale. She cupped her mother's face in her hands from bottom to top.

“Mother, sometimes you can rely on me. I am your eldest daughter, and I already know all this. You don’t need to hide anything from me.”

Hatred, disgust, possessiveness, cowardice, arrogance...

Negative emotions from the apex predator of the food chain, the demonic dragon, suppressed the luminous bloodline within Bai Ling.

In an instant.

In her mother's arms, the delicate girl with black hair and blue eyes suddenly had layers of fine dragon scales covering her body, making her look as beautiful as a dragon princess who had stepped out of a fairy tale book in the sunlight.

Her dark, lifeless eyes, coupled with her pitiful, tearful, and vulnerable demeanor, were enough to ignite an overwhelming surge of maternal love within Bai Yue.

In this respect, Bai Ling's maturity shines especially brightly against the backdrop of her younger brother Long Haochen's innocent and carefree nature.

"I'm sorry, Bai Ling... It's all my fault for making you suffer all these years."

Bai Yue lowered her head and hugged her daughter tightly, tears streaming down her face as she whispered "I'm sorry."

Perhaps, her decision to leave Xincheng and meet Long Xingyu was a complete mistake.

In the end, everything had to be borne by the daughter, Bai Ling, all by herself, which seemed rather unfair.

“Mother, I’m fine. As long as you believe in me and are willing to get through this with me, that’s all that matters.”

Although the black in Bai Ling's pupils, which were being held by Bai Yue, was gradually replaced by the original sapphire blue, the dragon-like manifestations of her body not only did not decrease, but intensified.

Paranoia, morbidity, and recklessness are all combined in one person.

These less-than-ideal traits were originally used by humans to describe the demon race, especially the seventy-two demon gods.

Among them, the one who went mad the most was the leader of the demon race, Demon God Emperor Fengxiu.

Bai Yue had never seen her daughter open her heart and reveal her soft and vulnerable side.

Without further hesitation, she told Bai Ling everything about Long Xingyu's visit and their conversation.

When Bai Ling saw that her mother had told the truth and was no longer hiding the facts, she gave her most sincere response.

She told her mother about her bloodline and then talked about some things that happened at the Knights' Temple that day.

Bai Yue was shocked after hearing this. She never expected that a simple squire assessment could lead to such a dirty scandal.

The two talked for a long time until Long Haochen knocked on the door to ask what they wanted for dinner, which ended the conversation.

After her mother left, Bai Ling was left alone in the room, fumbling for a way to open the black box.

She just didn't want her mother and younger brother to be hurt too deeply by their father, to the point where things couldn't be salvaged.

"Mother, you'll understand me, won't you...?"

Bai Ling bit her fingertip and dripped her blood onto the box, finally breaking the seal left by the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu.

Only those human and demon who possess bloodlines connected to this Emperor can break this seal.

A beautiful ring remained in the box.

Beside the ring, there were also fragments of spiritual energy left behind by the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu when he used his spiritual power.

Bai Ling paid no attention to the spiritual energy fragments left behind by Feng Xiu.

She tensed her fingertips, carefully picked up the black ring with her fingers, and examined it in her palm.

Is this the power that symbolizes the identity of a demon god, the root power of the Demon God Pillar?!

As is widely known, the demon race has seventy-two demon gods.

However, not every demon pillar can find a suitable master who will acknowledge them and make them the demon of this generation.

The Demon Pillars cannot be destroyed.

Whenever a Demon God Pillar heir is killed by the Demon Hunters, the Origin Ring returns to the Demon race, patiently waiting for a new Demon God suitable for it to appear.

These are rules that cannot be broken.

However, Demon Emperor Fengxiu has the ability to directly annihilate the source power of the Demon God Pillar, arbitrarily replace the successor chosen by the Demon God Pillar, and make it sleep for at least five hundred years.

No one may appear in the territory of the demon race unless the source of the Demon God Pillar is willing to slumber for five hundred years.

Therefore, many primordial powers that have not yet chosen a suitable successor are willing to transform into rings, stay by the side of the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu, obey Feng Xiu's orders, and wait for a suitable successor to appear.

"It turns out that Demon Emperor Fengxiu wanted his mother, who didn't have much spiritual power, to become an immortal demon god by relying on the power of the Demon God Pillar."

Bai Ling merely glanced at the ring before putting it back in the box and sealing it away once more.

She has no plans to succeed her mother as the new Demon God.

Just as Bai Ling put the box back into her spatial storage, she heard her younger brother Long Haochen's voice from outside the door: "Hello, Teacher Xingyu, my name is Long Haochen!"

"..."

"Clap."

Before she knew it, Bai Ling crushed the corner of the bed.
