Gu Bailu chuckled again. “My grandfather was truly perceptive.”
I can tell at a glance that you’re trash.
“Why do you say that?” The Demon King finally realized that something was wrong.
Gu Bailu shrugged. “He wasn’t wrong. You abandoned my mother in the end.”
The Demon King’s face turned dark. “How can you say that? I did everything I could to be with your mother. I even killed my father-in-law to be with her.”
Gu Bailu raised her head and felt the urge to kill this scumbag.
He killed the woman’s father and in the end still abandoned her. No wonder her supposed mother wanted to kill herself.
This woman didn’t hesitate to kill her own father just to be with a man.
Gu Bailu didn’t acknowledge her mother either.
“That’s right, you did whatever you could. Then why didn’t you get together after you killed your father-in-law?” Gu Bailu didn’t want to fall out with him right now. She was still keen on stalling for time.
The Demon King sighed. “I could kill my father-in-law, but I couldn’t kill the previous Demon King. That’s why I was torn apart.”
Gu Bailu nodded. “That’s only because you’re too incapable. So, you returned to the Demon Realm and caused my mother to suffer in the human world?”
The Demon King was a little hurt. “I thought I could bring her back after I became the Demon King, but she was already dead when I went to look for her.”
Gu Bailu asked curiously, “When did you go look for her?”
“About fifty years later.”
Gu Bailu almost vomited blood. What the hell?
Fifty years?
In fifty years, the young maiden would be an old lady. You went to look for her?
Even if she hadn’t committed suicide, she would already be dead, alright?
Gu Bailu was lost for words, but she still had to smile. “You were committed, remembering to look for her after fifty years.”
“Exactly. How can I forget such an amazing love? I wanted to find her every day.” The Demon King’s face was full of deep emotion.
I would be a huge idiot to believe you.
He thought about looking for her every day for fifty years… He thought about it every day for fifty years, so why didn’t he go? His own hair hadn’t grown white.
What deep emotion?
Also, why was he acting in front of Gu Bailu? Could it be that he really regarded her as his daughter?
“Oh… It must’ve been hard for you.”
“That’s right. I heard that she left behind a child. I felt that the child couldn’t be left in the human world, but I couldn’t find her. After asking around for a long time, I learned that the local people had offered up the child as a sacrifice to Heavenly Palace Cliff. I went to Heavenly Palace Cliff to ask for the child, but Feng Qingtian wouldn’t give her to me. Since that was the case, I would naturally work with someone else to deal with him. How could I let him use my daughter as a baby-making tool?”
Gu Bailu frowned. It seemed that what this fellow was saying about his very unreliable experiences had something to do with her winding up at Heavenly Palace Cliff!
Was her father really the Demon King?
It seemed that she had been chosen as a sacrifice to Heavenly Palace Cliff because she was a talented child.
No matter who her parents were, how could they bear to send her as a sacrifice?
“Are you talking about me?” Gu Bailu asked suspiciously.
