"Your beautiful face is more radiant than any flower, your jade-like complexion more radiant than the rosy hue of spring. Yan'er, you are as beautiful as ever." The man's eyes grew increasingly kind and joyful.
"Ah!" Nangong Ziyan couldn't help but take a few steps back. He even knew her name, so did he know that she had fallen here?
“Yan’er, you don’t need to be too surprised. There are many things in the world that are hard to believe but also hard to ignore. I am your father.”
"Thud!" Nangong Ziyan sat down on the ground with a thud. Could things get any more outrageous? Even though her butt was throbbing painfully from the stone on the ground, she didn't feel anything. No wonder she could still feel a sense of familiarity even though she had no memory of him.
"Look at you, you're still as adorable as ever. Aren't you happy to know I'm your father? You used to love sticking to your father's back the most." The man still had a smile on his face, his eyes were long and happy, as if he was recalling that warm scene, and he looked at Nangong Ziyan sitting on the ground with a look of shock and innocence.
"Well, I'm not unhappy, I just find it unbelievable. I traveled from another world to here, was born from someone's womb, and now I've fallen off a cliff and have a father. What I want to know is, did I travel freely, or was it all carefully arranged by someone? And, can a person's soul really be reincarnated...?"
At this moment, Nangong Ziyan's mind was empty except for thousands of question marks swirling around inside, desperately wanting to know the answers.
"Of course, your fate is entirely arranged by your father. More than a hundred years ago, the demons committed numerous evils in the human world, turning it into a living hell. The people suffered terribly. Your father used all his cultivation to seal the demon realm, but there were still some who escaped. As long as the demons still exist in this world, they will not give up. One day they will break out of the realm, and then the human world will become a living hell again, just like it was a hundred years ago."
"The Spirit Demon? Isn't the Spirit Demon inside Haotian's body? Even if they came out, they couldn't take the Spirit Demon away, could they?" Nangong Ziyan got up from the ground, frowning. How did all these things get involved with a hundred years ago!
"Haotian, who is he? How can the Spirit Demon be inside him? Isn't the Spirit Demon inside Zixuan's body?" The man looked puzzled. It seemed that someone had changed everything. Was it Yunxiao? But that was impossible! According to his deduction, Zixuan had never died...
"When Haotian was born, Zixuan injected half of his spiritual and demonic essence into Haotian's body. Every full moon night on the fifteenth of the lunar month, Haotian would become extremely demonic, turning into someone who would kill anyone he saw."
"So that's how it is?" The man put his hands behind his back, pondered quietly for a while, then looked up at Nangong Ziyan and said, "Yan'er, then you should quickly gather the Seven Eternal Jade pieces, and use their power and your innate strength to help Haotian devour the demon within him. The demon is immortal, and devouring it is the only way." Although things had exceeded his expectations, they were much better than he had anticipated.
"Can the Seven Eternal Jade really help Haotian eliminate the demon within his body?" Nangong Ziyan asked excitedly. If the Seven Eternal Jade could truly remove the demon from Haotian's body, she would risk her life to find the remaining two pieces.
"Father let you reincarnate so that you could find the Seven Eternal Jade and kill the Spirit Demon. If I didn't have absolute certainty, how could I joke with your life?" The man's smile remained unchanged as he reached out and touched Nangong Ziyan's cheek. "You are still as beautiful as before. Father is already very satisfied to be able to see you again."
"Then why do I have no memory of you at all? I just feel very familiar with you." Nangong Ziyan didn't dodge the question, but asked with a troubled expression. She felt a pang of sadness in her heart. Was he really dead?
"Yan'er, you've already been reincarnated, so naturally you won't remember your past. Besides, your father won't let you remember your past either. Your current family must treat you very well! If you were to remember your past, you would be unhappy. Your father has passed away, leaving only a wisp of soul wandering in this world. He stayed here with a sliver of hope, hoping to see my darling one more time. I never expected that I would get to see him again." The man said with a smile, his large, well-defined hand still not leaving Nangong Ziyan's cheek.
Nangong Ziyan didn't know what was wrong with her; tears suddenly streamed down her face, even though she didn't want to cry.
"Don't you still have a soul? Can't the Seven Jade of Eternity bring people back to life? Can the Seven Jade of Eternity save you?" Nangong Ziyan was not resistant to this father who suddenly appeared, but whether what he said was true or not remained to be investigated.
"You've already left me, and your mother left me even earlier. What's the point of coming back to life? It's too hard to live in a world where I'm all alone." The man smiled and shook his head. He didn't want to live in this world anymore; there were too many troubles in it.
"Then I'm back, aren't I? As long as I regain my memories, everything can go back to the way it was. You're a person now, so what's the difference between you and someone who's come back to life?" Nangong Ziyan didn't know what she was hoping for. He was right. Her parents were really good to her now, especially her two older brothers.
“Yan’er, it’s not that easy to revive someone. Your father is very happy in the soul realm. You have your own path to walk, and you have a very happy family now. Keep this bone flute with you. If you are in danger, just blow it and your father will know where you are.”
The man handed a pure white bone flute to Nangong Ziyan, looking at his daughter who still remembered him so vividly. He longed to remind her of everything from the past, but fate wouldn't allow him to do so. Now that he could see her, he was already content.
