Zhuqing (MS) smiled as she felt relaxed in his embrace, her tail lifted up and danced in the air while her cat ears twitched.
"Rui-ge." She called out softly, recalling the time she spent with him.
Hanrui sighed then started patting her head gently seeing her like this.
A few moments later, Zhuqing (MS) released him and took a step back and stared at Hanrui with a smile.
Hanrui stared her back with a gentle gaze, his hand still on her head.
'How long did she live to have that much power to turn into a Martial Soul that is once step below a God tier?
Yet she still clings to me like a little girl.' He thought amused.
"So, Qing'er, what's this about making a decision together?" Hanrui asked, staring into her eyes.
"I can't give you a direct answer. I can only say these words. 'God trail's, Renxue'.
You should understand what they mean right? After all, your future self told me the story so I came up with the idea to use those words." She replied with a smile.
Hanrui's eyes widened after understanding the information contained in those two words.
He stood there stunned for a second before he sighed.
"It's like that, huh. Well I believe you two will make the correct choice." Hanrui said as he ruffled her hair.
Duke Zhu felt left out as he didn't understand anything yet his brief furrowed in worry as he stared at his daughter. Who is radiating a Cold aura.
Hanrui, noticing this, waved his hand to signal Duke Zhu to stop worrying.
"That's right, Qing'er, what were you trying to do yesterday?" Hanrui asked as he pinched her ear.
Zhuqing(MS) let out a yelp, as if she felt pain, despite Hanrui not using any force, making him look at her dumbfounded.
Satisfied with his reaction, Zhuqing(MS) turned to her father and her playful expression instantly turned icy.
"In my world, shortly after the runaway Prince, I too left the Star Luo Empire and found Dai Mubai.
But I didn't see him practice diligently, instead he was out there fornicating and lazying around. Completely disregarding the cultivation.
So, I gave up on him and went into seclusion. I spent my time in the Star Dou Great Forest training and found a secluded cave to rest." She began with an icy tone.
Duke Zhu felt complicated as he felt like a useless father who couldn't help his daughter but then felt rage as he thought about Dai Mubai.
'I really wanna rip that scum in two. Not only does he run away alone, he even behaves promiscuously outside when time is not on his side.' He thought fuming inside.
Hanrui raised an eyebrow as he heard the last part of her narration.
'The first part is expected but, how come she didn't join Shrek academy? Strange,The meddlesome mongrel Shura God or Sea God didn't interfere?
Or Tang San, doesn't exist in that timeline? Things got a lot more interesting, huh.' He mused as felt the urgency to leave and check out this timeline personally.
"Although I suffered numerous life and death crises, even getting scars all over my body and even my face, I managed to survive and eventually became a Soul Sage."
She continued, pride evident in her tone, despite the faint sadness covering her eyes at the loneliness she felt at that time.
Hanrui, noticing her emotions, held her hand tightly, reassuring her that he was here, she was not alone.
She tightened the grip and held Hanrui's hand tighter and continued.
"Since years passed and no one came for me, or at least that's what I thought at the time, I disguised myself and went out of the forest for the first time in years.
It was only after a few days after coming out of the forest I got to know, through the rambling of the drunkard, that it's not that no one came for me, it's just that no one could find me.
Feeling disillusioned, and to be on the side of caution, I went back into the forest but this time I wasn't so lucky.
Our Zhu family found my traces and you, my very own father, came for my head on the orders of the Emperor.
They labeled me a deserter of the Empire. I barely escaped with a breath that day.
So of course, I have killing intent for you, a useless father who came to kill his own daughter." She finished, a tear falling from one of her eyes, her claws glinted.
Just as she was about to lose control again, Hanrui pulled her hand, making her look at him in a daze, then slowly, her emotions started to stabilize.
Duke Zhu felt the sky collapsing on him after hearing Zhuqing's(MS) words, he didn't even react as his daughter tried to attack him for a second time.
