The Demon Queen choked out sobs, her eyes filled with grief.
"I thought you would forget as time went by, but I didn't know. I didn't know that you waited for me for twenty years. I regret it now. I shouldn't have left. I should have died. As long as I died with you, I would be happy."
"I regret it, I regret it, wuwu..."
She spoke in sobs and tears kept flowing.
"I'm sorry, Yu'er. I'm sorry for making you sad, but... Yuan Yi and Yuan Shuo are innocent. They didn't do anything wrong."
Xue Jinyuan said to her with a gentle voice and smiled. He turned his head and looked over there. Ji Yuanyi was looking at him with a pale face and apology in his eyes.
The Demon Queen was stunned. She was silent for a moment, then spoke softly, "I know... but... I just can't help but vent my anger on them because they are the Demon King's children."
Xue Jinyuan sighed, "But Yu'er... they are your children too."

Xue Jinyuan smiled and patted her head comfortingly.
He looked at Shen Yushu and the others, raised his hand and saluted them, "I'm sorry, I made you suffer."
He set his gaze on Ji Yuanyi again and spoke softly, "Yuanyi, don't blame your mother. She actually loves you. When you and Yuanshuo were not yet born, she would light a lamp every day and imitate mothers in the mortal world to make many clothes for you."
"Then... somehow, the news of my death reached her, and she changed. She did many wrong things for me, but we are all human, and since she hasn't made a serious mistake yet, please forgive her this time. I'll apologize to you on her behalf."
"I also know... that she neglected your and Yuan Shuo's feelings because of me, and even did many things that hurt you. For this... I am deeply sorry."
"I'm sorry, Yuan Yi. I'm not saying this to ask for your forgiveness. I just want to tell you that your mother also sincerely looked forward to your arrival. Please... don't blame her too much."
After he finished speaking, he bowed to Ji Yuanyi again, looking graceful and dignified.
