Chapter 608: Strength
Baili Leyao was stunned for a moment. Obviously, she had not expected Zhong Nianyao to answer like this. She wanted to continue to say something, but after looking at Zhong Nianyao's expression, she thought for a moment and decided not to continue.
However, there was still a hint of worry in her heart.
For so many years, she has never fulfilled her duties as a mother. Therefore, now she naturally has no right to ask Zhong Nianyao to listen to her.
Moreover, she never wanted Zhong Nian Yao and Lu Yi Chen to break up, she just hoped that Zhong Nian Yao could pay attention.
But she had to say, looking at the appearance of Zhong Nian Yao and Lu Yi Chen, she couldn't help but think of her husband, whose life or death was uncertain.
She had heard about her husband's death two days earlier, and when she heard that he had fallen off a cliff, she almost couldn't breathe.
If Zhong Nian Yao had not been by her side at the time, who knows, something might have happened to her body.
Sighing, she took Zhong Nianyao's hand and continued, "You are a child with your own ideas. I think you know very well what you are doing. I won't say much, as long as you are happy."
Then, as if she had thought of something, a hint of uneasiness appeared on her face. She raised her head and looked at Zhong Nianyao, and finally mustered up the courage to speak, "Nianyao, you...are you blaming me and your father in your heart? For the past twenty years, we have been absent from your life."
Zhong Nianyao was stunned for a moment when she suddenly heard such a question, then she came to her senses and shook her head, "No, I have never blamed you. I know very well that sometimes, some things are beyond our control. Whether it is you or dad, we all have our own difficulties. And-"
When she said this, a warm smile appeared on her face. "Although you are absent, the love that grandpa and grandma gave me is no less. So, even if you are not around, I am still living a good life."
Looking at the smile on Zhong Nianyao's face, Baili Leyao felt both happy and sad.
She could see that Mr. and Mrs. Zhong really loved Zhong Nianyao. Without them, Zhong Nianyao would never have been able to grow up so simply and happily. This made her very happy. She felt that her original choice was not wrong. If Zhong Nianyao had stayed in the Baili family, she would never have lived such a good life.
At the same time, she felt endless sadness because she had not seen her daughter grow up at all. Both she and her husband owed their daughter something.
"Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong are both good people." Baili Leyao nodded. "Entrusting you to them was the best decision I ever made."
"Yeah." Zhong Nianyao nodded, then suddenly changed the subject and said, "Then, Mom, what are your plans for the future?"
Hearing Zhong Nianyao's sudden question, Baili Leyao almost couldn't react, "Nianyao, what do you mean——"
"Mom, you're awake now." Zhong Nianyao said, "What are your plans after I bring Dad back?"
Hearing Zhong Nianyao say that she wanted to bring Zhong Mingxin back, Baili Leyao's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but then a little sad, "Nianyao, I know you are a filial child. But this is really too dangerous. So, I hope you don't act rashly."
Yes, she missed her husband dearly. However, she absolutely did not want to put her child at risk. For so many years, she and her husband had failed to fulfill their parental responsibilities, and in the end, they were counting on their child to save them. That was simply unacceptable.
If Nian Yao got into trouble because of saving her husband, she and her husband would not be able to rest easy. If her husband knew that Zhong Nian Yao took the risk to save him, he would not agree.
Of course, this didn't mean she was giving up on her husband. She planned to wait until she felt better and then go find him herself. No matter what dangers they faced, she would always be with him, through thick and thin.
As if she had seen through Baili Leyao's plan, Zhong Nianyao looked at Baili Leyao quietly for a while, then retracted her gaze and said lightly, "Mom, if Dad really encounters any difficulties or dangers, then I will go to save him. I will definitely have more advantages than you. I think Grandpa probably hasn't told you about my strength yet!"
After saying that, Zhong Nian Yao stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers towards the void.
Immediately, the temperature in the entire room dropped several degrees, as if people had suddenly entered a cold winter. But in an instant, a ball of fire appeared in the room. However, the fire did not bring any warmth to people, but instead a gloomy feeling, and the atmosphere in the room became extremely depressing.
Baili Leyao looked at the dark flame and instinctively sensed a powerful threat. Although she couldn't see what kind of flame it was, she felt that if she were to be touched by such a flame, she would be half dead, if not dead.
Seeing Baili Leyao's gaze fall on the flames, Zhong Nianyao explained calmly, "That's the Netherworld Fire of Hell, which can burn all ghosts. If a person is touched by it, their soul will also be burned, and their life will be worse than death."
"Nian Yao, you—" Baili Le Yao finally found her voice and spoke with some difficulty, "How could you have caused this Nether Fire to appear? Also, was that witchcraft you cast?"
She wasn't sure. Although she had been in a coma for over twenty years, she had been learning witchcraft since she was a child. Her father had also said that she had a great talent for witchcraft.
However, she had never seen such witchcraft before. If this was really witchcraft, it could only mean one thing: her daughter's strength was far superior to hers.
Thinking of this, when she looked at Zhong Nian Yao, her eyes were full of shock.
"Oh, you're talking about the Nether Fire!"
Zhong Nian Yao waved her hand, and the temperature in the room immediately rose. The Netherworld Fire, which looked dangerous, also disappeared in the room.
She shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I just borrowed it from the underworld! The people in the underworld are quite generous. They are willing to lend it once or twice."
She didn't know why she was able to summon the Netherworld Fire, but she knew in her heart that if the Underworld didn't allow it, she would never be able to summon it.
