"Why doesn't the Divine Lord himself feel the power of our bloodline?"
Before coming to the God Realm, she learned everything about the God Clan from the Heavenly Punishment Record, including the power of bloodlines. The God Clan could determine the kinship between themselves and others through the power of bloodlines.
Baili He wasn't stupid; he could naturally tell that the person in front of him wasn't an illusion. Looking so much like Lan'er and himself, who else could it be but his daughter? Moreover, no one else would dare to deceive him.
"May I have your name?"
"Ji Jiuying".
Upon hearing Ji Jiuying's words, Baili He frowned slightly: "Why is her surname Ji?"
Ji Jiuying snorted coldly: "I also want to ask you why you abandoned my mother back then!"
Bailihe recalled events from over a decade ago and explained, "I didn't abandon her..."
"Back then, I was in seclusion in the Sea of Seas when I was ambushed by a sea monster, which caused me to go mad and fall into the deep sea. When I woke up, I was in the Immortal Sound Mountain of the Holy Domain. It was Lan'er who saved me. We fell in love at first sight and vowed to be together forever."
“At the time, I was still injured, and she left in a hurry, promising to meet the next day. But I waited for several days and did not see her. My injury was almost healed, so I wanted to go find her. Just as I left Tianyin Mountain, I was forcibly pulled back to the God Realm by the Heavenly Dao.”
"Later, I went to the Sealed Sea, trying to find a way to the Holy Land, but after searching for more than ten years, I found nothing..."
"Lan'er... how is your mother?"
It was clear that Ji Jiuying was not in a good mood at the moment, so Baili He asked cautiously.
"Oh no, she's deeply in love with you and loves you so much that she's ill. If she hadn't lost her memory for over a decade, she would probably be terminally ill by now."
"What!"
Baili He was startled, his face full of worry. Seeing this, Ji Jiuying thought to herself, "Baili He, you do have a conscience, you still know how to care about your mother."
What Ji Jiuying said was not a lie, but the truth. Therefore, they must find the entrance to the Holy Realm as soon as possible, and Baili He is the most crucial person because he is the only one who has been to the Holy Realm through the interface of the God Realm.
"I came to find you because I hope you can help me find the interface to the Sanctuary."
"Okay, okay!"
Baili He was naturally willing. Over the years, he had always made excuses on his own and dared not seek help from others. After all, the one who closed the entrance to the human world was the Heavenly Emperor. If the Heavenly Emperor found out about this, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"By the way, why did your mother lose her memory...?"
"You can ask her when you see her later!" Ji Jiuying glanced at him, and unconsciously her eyes lost their initial sharpness.
Why don't you ask me why my surname is Ji now?
"Would Jiu'er be willing to tell me?"
Baili He smiled. Although they had just recognized each other, he could tell from her words and actions that if she didn't want to talk, she wouldn't answer no matter how he asked. If she wanted to talk, she would naturally talk, just like now.
Ji Jiuying pursed her lips and briefly explained the situation.
Baili He sighed softly. In the end, it was all because of him that she and her daughter had suffered so much. His heart ached, and his gaze fell on Ji Jiuying, his eyes full of love.
This immediately made Ji Jiuying feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"Would Jiu'er be willing to take her father's surname, Baili?"
"No, I'm used to my current name."
Ji Jiuying immediately refused, saying that she had used her name for two lifetimes, how could she change it so easily?
Seeing that she insisted, Bailihe did not force her.
"By the way, you'd better not tell anyone about your relationship with me!"
"Why?"
Baili He looked at her in confusion. He had just been thinking of using her as an excuse to break off his engagement with Xianji.
"There are some things I haven't figured out yet, but just listen to me."
"Alright, then I'll do as Jiu'er says."
Although Bailihe was curious, he didn't ask any more questions.
Just then, a figure rode a crane through the air and landed slowly in front of the two like a fairy.
Fairy Maiden walked up with a smile, but when her gaze fell on Ji Jiuying, the smile on her face froze instantly, and she seemed to stop breathing, staring straight at Ji Jiuying.
who is she?
Why does he look so similar to Baili Xianjun?
Could it be! Thinking of this, the fairy quickly dismissed the thought in her mind. This was impossible. The girl in front of her still had the aura of the mortal world on her body. She must have just ascended from the human realm. There was no way she could be related to the god.
But why would she appear in the God's palace?
The fairy maiden snapped out of her daze and stepped forward with a smile: "Lord Baili, who is she?"
“Fairy Maiden, she is a goddess who just ascended from the human realm. Seeing that she and I are destined to be together, I am planning to take her in as my goddaughter,” Baili He said with a smile, glancing at Ji Jiuying.
Ji Jiuying's lips twitched slightly. What happened to her being nice to him? How did she suddenly become his adopted daughter again, especially in front of his fiancée? Wasn't this just pushing her into the limelight?
Fairy Maiden frowned slightly, looking at Baili He with a puzzled expression.
"My Lord, our marriage has been delayed for so many years, and now you've adopted a woman of unknown origin as your goddaughter. What will the gods think of me? Have you considered my feelings?"
“My Lord, please think it over. You cannot act recklessly just because she looks like you. If the Heavenly Emperor finds out about this, neither of us will be able to explain ourselves.”
Baili He looked at Xianji and said with a serious expression, "Xianji, others may not know why I have been delaying the marriage, but don't you know?"
"I will explain this matter to the Heavenly Emperor myself. In order to prevent the Fairy from being implicated, I will ask the Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly Empress to cancel our engagement."
Fairy Maiden stared at Baili He in disbelief. Was he really going to go to such extremes?
All these years she had known that there was someone else in his heart, but no matter how she tried to get information out of him, she couldn't get even a tiny bit of information about that secret woman out of him.
"My Lord, don't be naive. The Heavenly Lord will not agree to annul the engagement..."
"There's no need for you to trouble yourself with this, Fairy."
Fairy Maiden looked at Baili He with slightly reddened eyes, then turned her gaze to Ji Jiuying. She had a premonition that he would not recognize a mortal as his goddaughter for no reason. Perhaps the problem that had troubled her for more than ten years could be solved by this woman.
The fairy regained her composure and returned to her original appearance.
"My Lord, the Goddess has returned to the God Clan, but she has not been found. The Heavenly Lord has ordered me to search for her whereabouts with you."
Baili He nodded: "Fairy, please wait for me outside. I'll be right back after I take care of something."
Fairy Maiden glanced at Ji Jiuying, then withdrew completely.
After the fairy left, Ji Jiuying looked at Baili He and said, "You did this on purpose."
Baili He raised an eyebrow, surprised by her insight, but showed no embarrassment at being seen through.
