Chapter 575 Momo's Father
Chi Luo's figure appeared particularly thin in the interweaving of light and shadow, but his smile was like the rising sun, warm and firm.
A trace of pity flashed in Bai Ze's eyes. He slowly walked closer and stretched out his hand to touch the almost transparent figure, but he was afraid that his touch would make this fragility disappear in an instant.
He forced a smile and said, as if in the same tone as when he was young and asked Chi Luo for advice, "Senior Chi Luo, are you the only one here?"
Chi Luo shook his head. "Otherwise, there are a few more, but they are not from my Light God Clan."
He glanced at the two people in front of him and turned around, "Follow me."
The little fur ball transformed into its original form and lay on Luo Li's shoulder. The two followed Chi Luo and walked in one direction.
After a while, Chi Luo brought them to a secret room with very strict defenses.
After entering, Luo Li saw five huge demon beast spirits.
Unlike Chi Luo, these monsters all have complete souls, not residual souls.
Inside the secret room, a faint light flickered, like stars falling into the mortal world, illuminating five towering figures.
These demon beast spirits are either curled up like dragons, with their scales glowing with a cold light; or spread their wings like phoenixes, with flame-like patterns wrapped around the edges of their wings; some are shaped like giant beasts, covered in thick rock armor, and every breath seems to make the air tremble.
Although they are in the form of spirits, they each exude a heart-pounding aura, and the air is filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
Luo Li's eyes wandered among these giant beasts, and her heart was shocked.
The most eye-catching thing is a wolf-shaped monster with eyes as bright as torches. Its eyes seem to contain endless wisdom and vicissitudes. It is quietly looking at Luo Li and the little ball of fur on its shoulder, as if it can see into people's hearts.
The little fur ball felt this powerful breath and its hair stood up slightly, but then it became quiet again, as if it was having some kind of silent communication with these beings.
In the entire secret room, apart from their light footsteps, the only sound left was the steady and profound breathing of the spirits of these monsters, interweaving into a picture that was both solemn and weird.
Luo Li scanned the entire secret room and found that the condition of these monster souls was not good either.
in particular……
Her gaze fixed on the majestic Nine Nether White Tiger in the corner. Luo Li paused slightly, "You are..."
The Nine Nether White Tiger slowly stood up and transformed into a human form, looking at Luo Li with a smile, "It seems that Momo is well taken care of by you."
Luo Li pursed her lips. She knew that it was the Nine Nether White Tiger that sensed the aura left by Momo on her.
She sighed slightly, "I'm sorry, Momo is not with me right now."
Luo Li's words were as light as the breeze, but they seemed to stir up ripples in the secret room.
The man transformed from the Nine Nether White Tiger had a handsome face, but his eyes revealed a barely perceptible sadness.
He approached slowly, a light white mist surrounding him, and every step he took seemed so steady and solemn.
"Not around..." He repeated softly, his eyes piercing Luo Li's, as if trying to find more information about Momo in the clear depths.
Luo Li could feel the deep concern and worry, and her heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The light in the secret room seemed to become softer as the two people remained silent. The spirits of the surrounding monsters also transformed into human forms, standing aside without saying much.
Luo Li took a deep breath and explained, "I left Momo outside. Because of the ancient ruins, I can't summon her now. But I can guarantee that she is safe now.
Luo Li's words were like a gentle spring breeze, brushing across his furrowed brows and bringing a subtle sense of relief.
Jiuyou White Tiger breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Momo was safe.
After Luo Li finished speaking, the air in the secret room seemed to be still for a moment. Then, the spirits of the monsters that had transformed into human forms gently exchanged glances in their unique way, as if silently conveying their blessings for Momo's safety.
As long as the little girl is safe, he can rest assured.
Jiuyou White Tiger stared at Luo Li, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, including concern for Momo's safety, as well as trust and gratitude towards Luo Li.
At this moment, a faint but firm ray of light slowly rose from Luo Li's palm, like the brightest star in the night sky, illuminating a corner of the secret room.
The light seemed to contain an aura connected to Momo, causing him to feel an inexplicable warmth and peace of mind.
Jiuyou White Tiger smiled and said, "Thank you. As long as Momo is safe, I will be relieved."
Luo Li glanced at him and sighed slightly, "If you are willing, I can take you out, and then you can reunite with Momo."
Jiuyou White Tiger chuckled, a somewhat bitter smile rising from the corner of his lips, "No need."
Luo Li was puzzled. "Why? Senior, please don't think that you are bothering me. Even if it's just for Momo, I must help you."
He slowly raised his head, as if he could see the bright moon from many years ago. A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, as if he was reminiscing and saying goodbye.
"My dear friend Luo Li, I appreciate your kindness. But this is the place I protect. My duty is to safeguard this peace until the end of my life."
"Momo may be my daughter, but she would be disappointed if she knew I abandoned my duty just because I wanted to be reunited with her."
"Besides..." Jiuyou White Tiger's eyes were filled with helplessness, "I don't have much time left. Even if I go back with you, it will only cause more trouble for Momo. Why bother?"
After saying this, he lowered his head, his eyes gently falling on Luo Li, his eyes showing both gratitude and determination, "Don't worry, Momo has her own path to follow, and I have mine to uphold."
He looked into the distance, his tone gentle and kind, "After I die, please take good care of her for me and let her know that no matter how far away she is, my heart is always with her."
Luo Li tightened her hands slightly, "Senior, you..."
Jiuyou White Tiger smiled and said, "Don't worry about us. We have survived long enough. Now that the things we were protecting are gone, we can die without regrets."
Luo Li glanced at the people behind Jiuyou White Tiger and asked doubtfully, "Who are these people?"
"Nine-headed phoenix."
"Tianyi Divine Turtle."
"Purple Star Wolf."
"Holy Dragon of Light and Darkness."
Luo Li's eyes were shocked. These were all ancient pure-blooded monsters.
She nodded slightly, "Hello, seniors."
Perhaps it was because they had stayed here for too long, even a notorious monster like the Purple Star Wolf smiled at this moment.
He shook his head helplessly. "It's been a long time since I've seen someone so young. If he doesn't die soon, I feel like I'm going to die of old age."
