Chapter 3629: The Filial Son’s Resolve

His voice trailed off and he looked at Feng Jiu for a moment before continuing, “Also, I heard you’re planning to go out. Do you know that people outside are keeping an eye on you? Especially cultivators from other realms. If they find out your strength has fallen to the Immortal Venerable level, you’ll likely be in danger.”

“In addition, you are now pregnant and you have to look after Hell’s Lord and the child in your womb. In my opinion, it’s not suitable for you to go out. However, if you don’t mind, you can bring your people to stay at my place for some time. After you give birth, my wife and I would be happy to help take care of you.”

He sincerely respected and admired Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan MO Ze. Not to mention that they were his son’s foster parents. This was a naturally remarkable relationship. Now that one was in a coma and the other had lost her strength as well as being pregnant, he would naturally be willing to take care of them if he could. Given their current situation, he was naturally inclined to offer assistance.

“Thank you,” Feng Jiu said with a slight smile, “but I can manage.” She was never one to seek protection from others. Even if her strength had dropped to the Immortal Venerable level, she believed that with time, she could easily regain her Divine King Strong Exponent status.

When the Black Tortoise Monarch saw her resolve, he sighed, “If you’ve made up your mind, I won’t force you. As for the lotus seeds you mentioned, you may want to explore other Monarchs’ realms. You might come across some unexpected information.”

“Alright, I understand.” She simply nodded.

Their conversation came to a halt as Leng Shuang brought Hao’er into the courtyard.

“Father, Mother.” Hao’er came forward and respectfully greeted them.

The Black Tortoise Monarch merely smiled when he heard this. The boy had always greeted his biological parents respectfully while addressing his foster parents, Xuanyuan MO Ze and Feng Jiu, more intimately —a subtle but significant difference.

He didn’t blame him for this. After all, they had not fulfilled their responsibilities as parents. Just hearing him call them Father was satisfying enough.

“Hao’er, you know that your mother wants you to go back with me, right?” The Black Tortoise Monarch’s gaze fell on Hao’er.

Hao’er gave Feng Jiu a sidelong glance before nodding, “Yes.” His voice sounded a little dissatisfied.

“Why? Don’t want to go back with your father?” The Black Tortoise Monarch looked at him amusedly.

Hao’er kept his head down and remained silent. He didn’t want to leave. He wanted to stay with Xuanyuan MO Ze and Feng Jiu. However, he knew he was too weak at the moment and would be a burden to them.

After giving it some thought, he lifted his head, his eyes resolute as he looked at Feng Jiu, “Mother, I will go back with Father. Once there, I’ll train hard to become strong. Then, I’ll protect Father and Mother. And then, you can’t send me away anymore.”

Feng Jiu felt a pang of sadness in her heart as she heard this. She pulled him into her arms and hugged him tightly, “Hao’er, you’re such a good boy. Listen to your father and mother when you go back, Mother will be waiting for you to become strong.”

She was always touched by how considerate this child was. If she could care for him now, she would never let him go back..
