Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor - Chapter 3399
3399 I Won’t Go
A middle-aged man standing by asked, “Monarch, will you still go when the time for the battle at the mountain summit comes?”
“Go? Haven’t you heard the shadow’s report? Xuanyuan Mo Ze gathered many people to go up the mountain summit. If it were just Xuanyuan Mo Ze, who is already a Divine King Strong Exponent, then it would be one thing, but he is being joined by Feng Jiu, Black Tortoise, and the Temple’s Holy Son. Can’t you tell that they are preparing an ambush?”
He said bitterly, his eyes brimming with fury. “If I really go, I wouldn’t be able to escape alive, regardless of whether I won or lost! Those people are all lying in ambush there, how can they just be spectators?”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he knew that the Sky Monarch probably wouldn’t be going to the battle on the mountain summit. But because the word got out early, it looked like not going now would be…
The middle-aged man was silent for a while, his head bowed.
After a moment of silence, the Skylink Monarch issued a command to the middle-aged man, “Go! Recall our people lying in ambush!”
“Yes.” The middle-aged man replied, saluted, and then turned to leave.
On the other side, Xuanyuan Mo Ze and the others were resting in the forest, unaware that the Skylink Monarch had decided against going into battle. A fire was burning, and the air was filled with the meat aroma.
They didn’t seem to be headed to a battle at all; no one was tense or worried, only relaxed and joyful. Even more so because Hao’er was going with them on this trip. The little boy was very happy to travel such a long distance for the first time.
The Black Tortoise Monarch and his wife were accompanied by guardians as they travelled. They planned to devote more time to Hao’er. After the battle between Xuanyuan Mo Ze and the Skylink Monarch has concluded, Hao’er will follow Feng Jiu and the others to the Phoenix Empire in the world of mortals.
By then, it will be even harder for them to see him, so they cherished the time they had with him now.
They have been observing Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s treatment of Hao’er over the past few days. They had to concede that even if the boy had grown up with them, they would not have been able to raise him as well as they did today.
They also knew that Feng Jiu and the others truly loved Hao’er and treated him like their own. Even at such a young age, they helped him in entering into a contract with a divine beast snow wolf. Even if he wandered around outside by himself, there won’t be any problems because the divine beast was guarding him.
They were genuinely happy to see them treat their son with such honesty. They were relieved to see the child grow up so well. Even if the child did not grow up with them, it was fine because they knew the child would grow up better with Feng Jiu’s couple.
“Mother, Father, these are the fruits that Uncle Leng Hua and I picked. They are very sweet, you try them.” Hao’er came back holding a pile of fruits and handed some to Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan Mo Ze.
“Sure.” Feng Jiu replied, accepting the fruits with a smile. Xuanyuan Mo Ze also reached out and took some.
Feng Jiu washed the fruits with water before taking a bite. She nodded, “Hmm, it’s very sweet and delicious.”
Hearing that, Hao’er smiled happily and walked to the two people sitting by. “Father and mother, these are for you to eat.” Over the course of these few days, he became gradually closer to them; but not as close as he was with his adoptive parents.
In his heart, no one, not even his biological parents, could ever replace his adoptive father and mother.
