Sang Ye left.

He Guang immediately led the beast soldiers to chase after him.

The battle stopped.

There were injured beasts, but fortunately, no beasts died.

Shuang Yun ordered the wolf beasts to clean up the battlefield and kill all the surviving insects. He also wanted to collect the remains of the beasts poisoned by the ghost moths and cremate them. Then, he would bring the ashes back for burial.

Bai Di dug Huanhuan out of the snow. She was trembling from the cold. Her lips were pale, and the tears on her face were frozen. The slightest movement would cause her face to tear.

Her expression made Bai Di’s heart ache.

He helped her into his arms and cleaned the snow off her body. Then he pressed his warm palms to her face. After the frozen tears melted, he wiped the water off her cheeks.

Huanhuan curled up in his arms and said hoarsely, “Sang Ye is gone.”

Bai Di hugged her tighter. “I know.”

“He said he would come back again, but I don’t believe him. Before my mother went out, she told me she would come back early. But she didn’t. She lied to me. They’re all liars.”

Bai Di didn’t understand why anyone would leave their child alone, especially if the child was a precious little female.

But then he thought about it and immediately understood.

The other meaning of not coming back was to leave forever.

Death was forever.

Bai Di stroked Huanhuan’s hair and said gently, “Sang Ye is a beast who keeps his word. He promised that he would come back, so we’ll wait for him with you.”

Huanhuan closed her eyes and stopped talking. But her body still trembled involuntarily.

Xue Ling flew back with the feathered beasts.

“That insect queen flew too fast. Coupled with the snowstorm, we lost her.”

Shuang Yun frowned and said, “The insect queen’s vitality is extremely tenacious. If we don’t kill her this time, she’ll definitely make a comeback in the future.”

Xue Ling was also a little annoyed. “If I see her again, I’ll definitely burn her alive!”

How dare she hurt his Huanhuan? He had to take revenge!

Xue Ling asked where Huanhuan was.

Shuang Yun pointed in Bai Di’s direction and said, “Sang Ye is gone. Huanhuan is in a bad mood.”

“Sang Ye left? Where did he go?”

“I don’t know.” Shuang Yun looked tired. “He probably left of his own accord because he didn’t want to implicate us.”

“Even if that guy wanted to leave, he should have chosen a good day. Isn’t he afraid of freezing to death if he suddenly leaves at this time?!” Xue Ling thought for a moment and was still worried. “Which direction did he go? I’ll send him off. I can’t let him leave like this.”

Even if it was a strategic temporary separation, they had to think of a time and place to meet again in the future. What was the point of leaving without a word?

Was there really no other way?

Shuang Yun pointed in a direction. “He went that way. He Guang is chasing after him. You have to be careful. Don’t let He Guang discover you.”

“Don’t worry, with his strength, he’s no match for me. I’m leaving now!”

Shuang Yun quickly asked, “Do you want us to wait for you to go back with us?”

“No need. Go back quickly after you’re done packing. Don’t let Huanhuan fall sick from the cold.”

“Okay.”

Xue Ling spread his wings and flew into the sky, quickly disappearing into the snow.

When they got home, Bai Di lowered her to the bed. When she fell asleep, he quietly left the bedroom.

Not long after he left, Huanhuan opened her eyes again.

The poison in her body had been slowly resolved by the Divine Wood seed. Her body felt much better, but she still felt terrible.

Huanhuan said hoarsely, “Little Brat, I hate partings.”

The system comforted her. “All good things must come to an end. Don’t be too sad. Sleep well and everything will be fine when you wake up.”

Huanhuan turned around and looked at the wall close to her. She said in a low voice, “Even if I sleep and wake up, Sang Ye won’t come back. He’s the same as Mom. He abandoned me.”

The system sighed. “Your mother died in a car accident. That’s why she wasn’t able to go home. She actually wanted to be by your side. Don’t blame her.”

After a long time, he heard Huanhuan reply sullenly, “I know.”

She didn’t blame anyone. She just felt terrible.

“Only time can heal the pain of separation. Daughter, do you want to watch cartoons? A horror movie will do too!”

Huanhuan was speechless for a moment. “Weren’t you comforting me just now? Why did the topic suddenly change to cartoons and horror movies?”

“I went online to look up information. Someone said that the fastest way to forget about being unhappy is to distract that person and have them focus on something else. I think watching shows and movies will be able to distract you. How about it? Do you want to watch something?”

His last sentence made Huanhuan involuntarily think of a strange uncle tempting little kids with a lollipop in his hand.

She sniffed. “What shows do you have?”

“How about The Great Escape? Resident Evil isn’t bad either. There’s also Ju-On and Sadako…”

Huanhuan said slowly, “I’m already in a bad mood. Can’t you let me watch some heartwarming films?”

“Just you wait. I happen to have a super heartwarming movie here. I’ll show it to you now!”

Then, the system started playing Doraemon.

The two of them watched more than 20 episodes of Doraemon with relish.

Huanhuan sighed. “I feel like you’re my Doraemon.”

He would always be by her side. When she was sad, he would comfort her. When she was alone, he would accompany her. When she was in danger, he would even try his best to help her.

The system immediately retorted, “I’m not that blue fatty!”

“Then what are you?”

“I’m your father!”

Huanhuan: “…”

She was speechless.

Xue Ling was back.

He said, “I found Sang Ye.”

Huanhuan quickly asked, “How is he?”

“He’s fine. There’s nothing wrong with him.”

“Oh.”

Seeing her gloomy expression, Xue Ling said, “I asked him to write to you when he’s free. He agreed.”

Hearing about this, Huanhuan immediately perked up.

That’s right! Even if they were separated, they could use the space to send messages to each other!

She had almost forgotten about this!

Fortunately, Xue Ling had reminded her.

Huanhuan jumped up excitedly and hugged Xue Ling to kiss him. “Thank you!”

Xue Ling hugged her and refused to let her go. He said, “On my way back, I accidentally encountered another group of beasts. Guess who I bumped into?”

“Who is it?”

“I ran into Xue Yu. She’s bringing the Divine Wood clan to join the rock mountain.”

Huanhuan was very surprised. “Why would they think of coming to the rock mountain?”

She thought that after the previous incident, the Divine Wood clan would have already fallen out with her. It was impossible for them to get along peacefully anymore.

Xue Ling said, “I talked to Xue Hui. She said that Bi Huan and Qian Ye are dead and the Divine Wood City has been destroyed. Now that the Divine Wood clan has nowhere to go, they can only rely on the rock mountain.”
