Adorable treasured fox: Divine doctor mother overturning the heavens! Chapter 1396 - For You, I Will Forsake the World (4)”

Chapter 1396 “For You, I Will Forsake the World (4)”

“Lord,” said the grumpy Keeper with a hint of hesitation, “there’s something I need to ask of you for my coming.”
“Speak it then, don’t waste my time.” Sounding impatient, Chu Yi God unkindly orders.
“The matter is like this. Ruo Xi’s body has been injured for many years so we’ve been searching for a way to help treat her, now we’ve found it.”
“Oh, that’s a good thing. I have no objection so you can go ahead with the idea. Why are you reporting this to me?” Chu Yi God speaks in a way that it’s confounding to even bring up the subject with him.
Keeper Ling visibly gawked like it’s ridiculous to hear that sort of reply.
What’s wrong with the Lord? How can he react so wantonly? Ruo Xi’s treatment should be the upmost importance right now with the calamity drawing so close!
“Let me explain Lord. If we want to treat Ruo Xi’s injury from back then, we will need your help.” Keeper Ling’s expression then turned a darker shade of hostility, “We need the blood of a fox, a young one and a female one at that. Only the purest of the foxes can it work.”
If only the grumpy Keeper paid a little more attention to the foe opposite to himself, then he would definitely realize the sharpening gaze around Chu Yi God’s face.
“You mean you want me to go to the Demon Realm and demand Yan’er’s child? Just like a thousand years ago?”
A thousand years ago, I personally went out to capture Bai Yan and then thrust her into the depths of hell by burning her at the altar. I committed the greatest sin, a sin so great I could never hope to redeem. Now these people want me to repeat that same crime and hurt the one woman I love a second time? HAHAHA!
Unable to pick up the underlying tone there, Keeper Ling continues with respect in his voice: “Yes Lord, we are hoping you can personally go make a demand to Bai Yan and have her hand over a daughter. As long as Di Cang and Bai Yan cooperates with our plan, we in the Celestial Palace are willing to spare the Demon Realm after the calamity comes to past.”
In that second, Chu Yi God actually chuckled satirically, “Do you also want the Demon Realm to be grateful to you as well for sparing them?”
This time not even the dense Keeper Ling could miss the taunting attitude from the other side. Showing a puzzled look along his old face, “Lord?”
“A thousand years ago I thought the Celestial Realm and its denizens are the most important to me, but I discovered that’s not true. In this world, the most important thing to me is her, only after she left me did I realize that fact. She could’ve been my wife, but I pushed her into the belly of despair with my own two hands to allow someone else to yank her back out. For that mistake, I lost her forever.” Pausing to meet the old Keeper’s gaze, Chu Yi God appeared self-mocking now, “I couldn’t accept it back then. She was supposed to be mine, but I gave her away to someone else with my own action. Then I went after her out of my own selfish greed, pursued her and hunted her, until…. until I pushed her to death.”
Finally closing his eyes, the Celestial Lord recalls back to the scene where he saw her die in the arms of his love rival, only then did the pain he felt in that moment come surging forward. It’s stinging like a sharp thorn that continues to constrict around his heart at all times.
“Her child is her life, and if I kill her child then it would be me killing her a second time. You expect me to commit that same mistake a second time, is that what you are asking of me?”
For the first time ever, Keeper Ling finally got a clearer look at the Celestial Lord and what has become of a man that once held the world in the highest regard. He’s no longer the Lord…. This person, he’s not the Chu Yi God from a millennium ago!
“But Lord, are you going to abandon the rest of the world for the sake of a single woman? How can you do that!” Shaking across his shoulder due to the surging frustrated anger inside, Keeper Ling couldn’t keep his calm and yelled out the question.
“A thousand year ago I gave her up for the sake of the Celestial Realm, now I will forsake the world for her. She will never suffer at my hands again.” The Celestial Lord states this with firmness along that faint smile.
