The Heavenly Dao did not respond, but instead looked at the Lord of the Beast Realm and the Three Ministers.

The Beast King had already run to Wu Hua and the two beasts, transforming into his original form and letting his cubs roll around on him.

The three officials, however, were filled with sorrow. They had grown up with Ming Yi since childhood and shared a bond of friendship, but their duties absolutely forbade the existence of vengeful spirits.

Ming Yi didn't want to put them in a difficult position, so he came up with a compromise.

"After I perish, could you three please take good care of Zhao'er for me? Even if you imprison her in the deepest abyss of the underworld, please don't let her soul be scattered..."

His words were earnest, moving the three officials somewhat, but before they could answer, Ming Zhao refused on their behalf.

"I would rather die with my father than be trapped for life."

She spoke so fast that Qin Luo didn't even have time to cover her mouth: "What nonsense are you talking about, you little kid?"

Ming Zhao saw the panic in her eyes and felt a warmth in his heart.

“Sister, Father only made one mistake by bringing me into this world, and all the karma for that will fall on me. After Father and I are gone, you will be free…”

Upon hearing this, Qin Luo pulled her into a tighter embrace.

"My sister isn't very capable. She's lived two lives and died several times, so one more won't make a difference..."

As she spoke, she turned to look at Wu Hua, who was rolling around on a giant rabbit.

"Now that you've returned from the Beast Realm, my little one can go back to your family. I have no other wishes but to stay with you."

Ming Zhao's tears fell with her words, but the next second, she threw her violently towards Wu Hua.

"Who wants you to come along? Don't flatter yourself."

Then, she transformed into a cloud of resentment, grabbed Ming Yi, and fled. Her sudden appearance caught even the Heavenly Dao off guard.

The Three Lords were already caught in a dilemma and had no intention of intervening. The Lord of the Beast Realm was even less inclined to act; he was having a great time playing with his cubs…
