Huh?

Both Ming and Xuefeng stared at her confused.

"I"m sorry, I let her out because she didn"t stop bugging me to tell her what"s going on outside. She said she can help you," Ling informed in his mind.

"Didn"t I tell you already?" Sena poked Xuefeng"s chest with her finger. "I know when people are honest to me, but it"s not because of my intuition."

"Look, let me show you," Sena suggested as she placed her palm on Xuefeng"s cheek. "Answer my question: Do you love my mom?"

Her whole hand lit up with gold and Xuefeng"s expression changed. He suddenly felt an immense urge to reply honestly and he couldn"t resist it.

"Yes, I do," Xuefeng replied and his eyes widened right after. "Whoa, just like that?"

What was confusing is that he was fully conscious so it wasn"t hypnosis. He just felt the need to tell her the truth.

"See?! I can help!" Sena called out excitedly and walked past him before diving into Ming"s arms. "Mom!"

"You didn"t tell me you have such powers," Ming commented, causing Sena to giggle.

"It"s because you didn"t ask," Sena replied proudly while glancing at the City Leader. "Let me help."

She didn"t ask for permission as she pulled Ming"s arm away and placed her finger on the City Leader"s forehead. Her finger lit up but then she turned around embarra.s.sed.

"What was I supposed to ask?"

"Ask him about the location of the Dark Fate Sect," Ming reminded with a smile, glancing at the City Leader"s face. "I wonder how you will resist that."

"No! Get off me!" the City Leader cried out but Sena didn"t hesitate to activate her ability.

"Tell me where is the Dark Fate Sect," Sena ordered and just as in Xuefeng"s case, the man didn"t hesitate.

"It"s hidden in this mountain range, around five minutes west from here."

"Be more specific," Sena quickly followed up.

"It"s hidden inside one of the three red mountains. It will be the one in the middle," the City Leader replied before glancing at Sena as if she was a monster.

"How do you kill Fate Spirits inside the Fate Holders? What method do you use to break their connection?" Ming asked seriously.

It was the question that bothered her for a while since from her point of view, it was impossible to do. No human should have the power to sever this bond. When Sena heard the question, she blinked confused but still repeated it.

None of them expected City Leader"s next words.

"I don"t know any method. It is our Leader that is fully responsible for it. One has to be unconscious during the procedure so no one knows about it aside from the Leader. All I know is that the Leader received a go signal from Heaven together with a special Artefact that he uses to this day."

Ming opened her mouth but no words came out. Her body trembled as she looked at Xuefeng, her face colder than ice. "Baby, can you take Sena away?"

He could tell she was about to explode with anger so he pulled Sena with him and hugged her to block the nasty view.

"What did he mean?" Sena asked innocently as she blinked at Xuefeng. "Did he say that dad helped those bad men?"

"Shhh…" Xuefeng shushed her with his finger. "I think it"s best if you don"t refer to that man like your dad ever agai—"

"b.a.s.t.a.r.d!!!"

Ming"s voice cut him off before it replaced with constant punches.

"This!"

"f.u.c.ker!"

"Is!"

"Going!"

"To!"

"Die!"

"Aaaa!!!"

Ming punched the City Leader in the face with each word before speeding up, no longer caring about anything. Sena shuddered each time Ming punched but Xuefeng squeezed her tight while rubbing her cheek.

"Fuuuuuuuck!" She cursed while screaming full of anger. Xuefeng finally cut them off from an ugly scene.

"Don"t worry, your mom is just venting," Xuefeng a.s.sured while creating a soundproof barrier around the two of them. "The King of Heaven did something horrible and your mom is really mad."

"So he was helping the bad guys…? Did they really kill our Race?" Sena questioned in disbelief.

Even though she was innocent, she quickly connected the facts. Xuefeng had no reason not to share it with her.

"Yes. They were killing the Fate Spirits inside the Fate Holders and the King of Heaven allowed that to happen," Xuefeng explained.

"But why would he do it…?" Sena asked softly, looking as if she was about to cry.

"Because he wanted to kill me."

Ling came out to reply on her own. "He wanted to get rid of his own daughter because of fear that one day I might kill him. I"m pretty sure he secretly created this Dark Fate Sect to slowly eradicate the Fate Spirits from the Heaven Realm in hopes that one day I would fall victim to it."

Sniff.

Sena"s eyes teared up at her story and immediately dove into Ling"s arms. "I"m so sorryyyyyy!"

"It"s not your fault dummy…" Ling muttered as she rubbed her head. "I"m all safe and in good hands now. Xuefeng has been taking care of me."

"Big sis, now that I"m here, I won"t let anyone hurt you!" Sena promised, drowning in Ling"s chest. "I will protect you!"

"I will protect you too then," Ling promised as well, creating a cute scene for a change.

Xuefeng looked around to check on Ming and it seemed like she was done with her venting. He couldn"t blame her for her actions. Anyone would react the same way if they found out that their ex-husband has been killing their children.

The City Leader was already gone but the bloodstains were all over the floor. The moment he canceled the barrier, Xuefeng waved with his hand and swiped all the blood away.

"I knew it… I f.u.c.king knew it…" Ming muttered, still fuming but Xuefeng could see some clarity in her eyes. "There was no way any human would do it on their own. To think it was all this b.a.s.t.a.r.d"s fault."

Xuefeng walked up to her and pulled her over by her waist. He grabbed her face and looked her straight in the eyes.

"I"m not sure when, but know that we will kill him and it won"t be an easy death," Xuefeng vowed, caressing her face. "You have me. Let me lend you my strength."

Ming"s lips trembled and she closed the distance between them, kissing him the strongest she could. Her tears finally spilled as she caressed him back.

"I have you…"
