409 You'sve sacrificed a lo

"You may ask me anything as long as it is not about what happened to my little princess twelve years ago." Mo Yao Wang claimed. His voice faint but not without an underlying threat. "Including the ritual or seals."  With obvious hesitation on their faces, Mo Yao Wang turned his gaze to Zhiyuan and asked in a calm voice, "First, I want to know what happened since the day she left D country."  He paused then added. "Don't forget to include the time when they started living together." Mo Yao Wang's face turned indifferent as he remembered Li FuJin, cursing him on his mind still.  Zhiyuan & Marlene: "!!!" He knew the truth?!  "Yes, I know who he is of course." Mo Yao Wang claimed like he could read what's running on their minds. "I'm not that stupid, you insolent brats!" He seethed in anger.  Zhiyuan & Marlene: "..." We are already over a thousand years old to be called brats!  They wanted to rebuff but knowing the old demon's temper, they chose to do it in their minds. Zhiyuan started to narrate about everything he knew, making sure not to miss out a thing.  Next, Marlene recounted about what happened at the forbidden forest. Mo Yao Wang did not say a word the whole time aside from his face changed expressions from time to time.  He listened quietly, making Zhiyuan and Marlene nervous. Even after they spoke, Mo Yao Wang remained silent, seemingly deep in thoughts.  At the same time Zhiyuan and Marlene wanted to ask about Yuyan. But, Mo Yao Wang's warning made them hold their questions back knowing that they won't get an answer.  Marlene's patience finally reached its limit. Her face turned dark while she asked in a cold voice, "Anything else you want to know? It's now my turn." Showing no fear for the old man.  Mo Yao Wang finally looked at Marlene's gloomy face. His lips twitched, he had an idea what she wanted to ask. "Want to know about your husband?" He asked teasingly.  Marlene: "..." Husband?  Marlene was stunned. Hearing Mo Yao Wang referring to Xiao XiRan as her husband can only mean one thing. The old man is recognizing her as his granddaughter in-law.  Her cheeks blushed red at Mo Yao Wang stood words. Marlene remembered that Xiao XiRan indeed asked her to marry him before he died. Her reddened face turned pale, her eyes stung as she gave a small nod in response. Thinking back to the time Mo Yao Wang heard about Xiao XiRan's mischievousness, he got so mad that he wanted to kill his own grandson. If it wasn't for his wife who reminded him about the same thing happening between them before, he would have acted rashly due to his anger.In reality, Mo Yao Wang himself had also done the exact same thing to his wife in their youth. Mo Yao Wang can only cough in embarrassment at his wife's reminder. Then came the news that there is a threat to his grandson's life because he ( Xiao XiRan) took Marlene as his forced wife. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry in frustration. Back to the present, a despairing look came to Mo Yao Wang's face. "I know you've sacrificed a lot to prevent his then pending death after what he did to you." He sighed and leaned back on his chair. Marlene is a witch queen. Even though she had an agreement with Zhiyuan to be in the mortal world, having gone missing for six months caused so much chaos at medieval land. It was unclear how the threats were settled that time, but Mo Yao Wang was fully aware of the consequences Marlene had to go through to prevent her people to hunt and kill Xiao XiRan back then.Mo Yao Wang was relieve and happy for what she did of course. Even though he did not openly recognize Xiao XiRan as his grandchild, he was grateful to Marlene for not letting him get killed.
