"Demon God?"
The woman's voice was filled with anger, clearly indicating that she was no stranger to the name of the demon god.
After a moment, the woman calmed down and walked up to Hua Qingyue.
Chen Tianwen couldn't sense any malice from the woman, and Hua Qingyue was also secretly communicating with him telepathically, so he didn't stop the woman from getting closer.
But what happened the next second almost made Chen Tianwen's jaw drop.
The woman embraced Hua Qingyue, her voice trembling with emotion:
"My child, you have suffered so much!"
"child?"
Chen Tianwen was inwardly amazed. Who was this woman? She actually named Hua Qingyue her child?
This woman is clearly a painting spirit here! Although Hua Qingyue was a painting spirit before, Chen Tianwen had never heard of painting spirits being able to have children! This world is too crazy!
Hua Qingyue, however, did not show any surprise, because she felt an extraordinary sense of security in this woman's arms.
Hua Qingyue enjoyed this feeling. She had only felt this way in Chen Tianwen's arms before, and now she felt the same way with this woman she was meeting for the first time.
The woman didn't say anything, just quietly held Hua Qingyue, making Chen Tianwen look slightly awkward.
After a while, the woman patted Hua Qingyue on the back, and Hua Qingyue left the warm embrace. Looking at the woman in front of her, Hua Qingyue had an indescribable feeling.
"Child, we are sorry for you."
The woman's voice was choked with emotion. Upon hearing this, Hua Qingyue shook her head and said:
"Although I don't know what happened in the past, I'm actually doing quite well now. Especially meeting Tianwen makes me feel that God has been kind to me. So, you don't need to apologize."
"Go to heaven? Hmph!"
The woman's voice sounded somewhat disdainful, but then she seemed to remember something and didn't continue the topic. Instead, she led Hua Qingyue out of the thatched hut.
Chen Tianwen quickly followed, and the woman did not stop him. She led the two of them up the mountain.
Clearly, this woman's grasp of spatial laws far surpasses that of Hua Qingyue. Although there is still spatial dislocation ahead, as long as the woman keeps walking forward, space will automatically adapt to her steps.
If painting Qingyue is about finding the right space amidst spatial misalignment, then the woman's current state is as if all spaces are making way for her, and the right space is actively catering to her!
Chen Tianwen had also comprehended a trace of spatial power, but compared to the two people in front of him, he was far inferior. Chen Tianwen predicted that even if the woman was standing right next to him, his attack would definitely not hit her, because she could naturally create spatial displacement, causing his attack to land in the space of other planes!
This level of strength is beyond what Chen Tianwen can currently imagine.
After a quarter of an hour, the three of them finally reached the top of the mountain, where there was a not-too-large mansion.
The wall is simple, and after entering, there is a huge stone screen with landscape paintings on it. Judging from the painting style, it should still be the work of Shenbi Xianjun.
After passing the screen, there is a living room, and on both sides are probably bedrooms and guest rooms!
Chen Tianwen looked at this place, which resembled the dwellings of ordinary people in the mortal world, and was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that a powerful being like Immortal Lord Chenbi would build a residence in the style of an ordinary person.
Ever since Hua Qingyue arrived at this residence, her eyes have been filled with confusion, as everything in front of her seems so familiar!
After the woman led Hua Qingyue and Chen Tianwen into the living room, the three sat down, and the woman slowly began to speak:
"Child, doesn't everything here seem familiar?"
Hua Qingyue nodded. It was indeed familiar. Even the furnishings in the living room gave Hua Qingyue a sense of déjà vu.
The woman spoke again, this time addressing Chen Tianwen:
"Your name is Chen Tianwen, right? Thank you for taking care of Qingyue."
Chen Tianwen still hadn't confirmed the woman's identity, because he simply couldn't believe that Hua Qingyue was Hua Ling's daughter. Despite his doubts, Chen Tianwen maintained the proper respect and replied:
"Qingyue and I have already become Daoist partners, so there is no need for you to thank me, senior. This is all what I should do."
The woman's voice sounded somewhat melancholy, and she sighed softly as she said:
"Chen Tianwen, the thank you I'm saying is to express my gratitude for taking care of Qingyue in the past, and also to tell you that Qingyue will stay by my side from now on, and with your current strength, you can't take care of Qingyue in the Immortal Realm!"
Chen Tianwen was slightly taken aback, then his eyes turned cold. No matter who it was, Chen Tianwen would not allow them to take Qingyue away from him.
Hua Qingyue also stood up and said in an unfriendly tone:
"Now that I have become Tianwen's Daoist partner, it is only natural that we should share weal and woe. I will not separate from Tianwen."
Chen Tianwen took Hua Qingyue's hand and turned to leave. After all, this woman might be Hua Qingyue's mother, and Chen Tianwen didn't want to break ties with her.
The woman also stood up, instantly appearing in front of Chen Tianwen and Hua Qingyue, and said:
"Wait a moment, let me finish speaking before you decide whether to stay or leave."
Hua Qingyue glanced at Chen Tianwen, who could also see Hua Qingyue's anticipation about her background, so he nodded, and the two returned to their seats.
The woman did not sit down. Instead, she turned her back to the two of them and looked up at the door, as if wondering where to begin.
After a while, the woman slowly spoke:
"Actually, when we met, Chen Tianwen had already passed my test. In Chen Tianwen's heart, my daughter is his perfect goddess, and I also approve of this son-in-law!"
"However, if you had remained in the lower realm, I would never have stopped you from getting together. But now you've come to the Immortal Realm, and you're both only at the Earth Immortal level!"
"Chen Tianwen, let me ask you this: if a Celestial Emperor were to attack Qingyue right now, could you stop him?"
Chen Tianwen was slightly taken aback, then shook his head.
Chen Tianwen knew that although he had many trump cards, if he were truly facing a powerhouse of the Immortal Emperor realm, that opponent could crush him with a mere flick of their wrist. Chen Tianwen was well aware of his own limitations!
The woman spoke again, asking Chen Tian:
"What if a sage intervenes? You'd be even less able to stop him. Think about it yourself, how can I feel at ease letting Qingyue leave with you?"
Chen Tianwen was speechless. If he really couldn't protect Hua Qingyue, how should he face himself?
"I would be willing to die alongside Tianwen!"
