Chapter 834: The Demon Race Is With You!
Tiger Demon King Aunt patted Xiao Hu's head, "Xiao Hu, we cannot enter the relic, so after you and your mother go into the relic you must protect yourself, understand?"
Xiao Hu's eyes flickered with loneliness.
"Aunt, wait outside for Xiao Hu to come out!"
Xiao Hu finally nodded, "It's a promise."
Hu Meili looked at the hand Xiao Hu extended, a hint of sorrow flashing in her eyes, reached out and tapped Xiao Hu's forehead, "You little brat, don't even believe Aunt's words?"
"I believe!" Xiao Hu chuckled, and no longer insisted on pulling the hook.
Ye Qingran watched this scene, a deeper meaning appearing in her eyes.
"Sister Qingran, could you step out for a moment? I have a few words to say to you alone."
"Alright..."
A Bodhi tree, such a thing filled with celestial aura, seemingly should not appear among the Demon Race.
Yet the fact is not so.
When Ye Qingran saw that Bodhi tree, she felt the Demon Race differed greatly from what she had imagined.
Hu Meili turned around, pointing beneath the Bodhi tree, "Back then, the first time I saw Xiao Hu, he was under this Bodhi tree, completely naked, crying pitifully..."
Ye Qingran's heart trembled.
Was Xiao Hu discovered by the Demon Race here back then?
But wasn't he in Jiu Fu Lin at that time? How did he cross such a vast distance to appear in Mo Yuan?
"Wasn't it the Great Demon of the Demon Race who brought Xiao Hu to Mo Yuan?"
Hu Meili shook her head, "No."
However, compared with Ye Qingran, Hu Meili seemed more composed, "You needn't find it strange; many things were never fully explained. Mo Yuan has always been a mysterious place; even after we have thrived for ten thousand years, we cannot completely understand it."
Ye Qingran nodded.
"You're so clever; you must have already sensed it. Once the power of the Demon God Tomb fades, we will also depart."
Hu Meili thought of Xiao Hu, her heart filled with reluctance.
Though Xiao Hu has been in Mo Yuan for only five years, she truly treats him as her own child.
Now, she is leaving, with an uncertain future, life and death unknown.
After this, Yun Tian Cang drifts, the boundless sea flows empty; will they ever meet again?
"Where will you go?"
Hu Meili shook her head, "We don't know either. Xiong Zuzhang (Tribe Chief) said, in the Three Thousand Worlds, any place suitable for the Demon Race's survival could be possible."
"You don't intend to tell Xiao Hu?"
"We won't say. Xiao Hu is a kind child; if he learns we're leaving, he'll be very sad. Rather than holding hands and shedding tears, it's better to wait until he emerges from the relic, then tell him."
Ye Qingran wore a look of loneliness.
The Great Demons of Mo Yuan are Xiao Hu's family; if they all leave, how heartbroken will Xiao Hu be?
"I asked you out because I hope you'll take good care of Xiao Hu. He truly is an extremely well‑behaved child; he deserves the best this world can offer."
"I will."
Hu Meili nodded, "I know you will. The moment I first saw you, I knew you'd be a good mother. I have a request; I wonder if you can grant it?"
"But it doesn't hurt to say."
"I hope that in the future, if Xiao Hu wishes, could he come to find us?"
The Great Demons of the Demon Race, like her, hope that after leaving Mo Yuan, they may one day see Xiao Hu again.
Because that child grew up witnessing them together!
He is the light of their Demon Race!
"Even if you don't say it, I'd still do it."
Hu Meili smiled with satisfaction, her eyes turning red.
"I've said everything I wanted. Please deliver this to Xiao Hu: the Great Demons of the Demon Race, wherever they are, will forever miss him and forever love him."
After speaking, Hu Meili turned and left; in that instant, she could no longer hold back, letting tears flow freely.
Before Ye Qingran's party set out for the Demon God Relic, all the Great Demons of the Demon Race arrived.
"Clan Leader Grandpa, Tiger Demon King Aunt, Niu... Demon King Uncle, you may return; we'll be out soon."
Xiao Hu waved his hand, smiling innocently, completely unaware that Mo Yuan was about to vanish and the Great Demons were about to depart.
Hu Meili forced back tears, showing her gentlest smile.
Niu Dali's eyes reddened, especially when he heard the phrase "Niu Mo Wang Da Shu"; he knew Xiao Hu had already forgiven him.
His Xiao Hu had always been so kind, but perhaps he will never see him again!
Xiao Hu, when Niu Mo Wang Da Shu is absent, you must take good care of yourself, always live happily; Niu Mo Wang Da Shu will forever love you and will miss you!
The aged Xiong Zuzhang (Tribe Chief) wore a sage‑like smile on his face, slowly nodding.
At the moment Xiao Hu turned and left, the Great Demons of the Demon Race could no longer hold back, furtively wiping at the corners of their eyes.
"Goodbye, Xiao Hu, thank you for appearing in our bleak lives, bringing us a beam of light that illuminated our world."
The Demon Race is with you.
Forever bless you.
Many years later, Tiger Demon King Aunt's temples had already shown traces of white snow.
She looked at the handsome, tall man before her, and images gradually surfaced in her mind.
"Y‑you are... Xiao Hu?!"
"Tiger Demon King Aunt, I am Xiao Hu; I finally found you!"
