Chapter 103: Mother and Daughter Reunite

  Ji Luo Fei didn't expect that she would break through the fifth layer of Qi accumulation in less than three days and advance to the sixth layer. After advancing to the sixth layer, Ji Luo Fei couldn't even stabilize herself before rushing out to tell Ning Cheng the good news. She knew that Ning Cheng was most concerned about her cultivation, as long as her cultivation improved, Ning Cheng would be the happiest person.

  What puzzled Ji Lu Fei was that Ning Cheng wasn't there, and he hadn't even left a letter behind.

  Ji Luofei walked out of the room, intending to ask the people at the inn when Ning Cheng had left. Ji Luofei arrived at the entrance of the inn, where a middle-aged beautiful woman was inquiring with the innkeeper if there were any vacant rooms available.

  Ji Luofei felt a sense of familiarity with this middle-aged beauty, and she unconsciously took a few more glances. At this time, the middle-aged beauty seemed to have noticed Ji Luofei looking at her, and she turned around, just in time to see Ji Luofei. She stared at Ji Luofei for a long time, and just as Ji Luofei furrowed her brow, the middle-aged beauty suddenly called out in a trembling voice, "Luofei."

  After shouting this sentence, the middle-aged beauty's eyes became slightly red and swollen, her expression was agitated.

  "Who are you?" Ji Luofei stared at the middle-aged beauty in front of her, feeling that there was some connection between her and this woman, a subtle and elusive feeling that made her feel somewhat strange.

  "Luò Fēi, what's wrong with your face?" The middle-aged beautiful woman immediately asked anxiously after discovering that Ji Luò Fēi's face had been disfigured. This middle-aged beautiful woman was Xióng Qí Huá. She couldn't believe that her daughter's face had actually been disfigured. When she saw her daughter's disfigured face, she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness.

  She owed it to her daughter because she didn't take good care of her daughter and let her be disfigured.

  That familiar yet strange feeling grew stronger, and she asked again, "Excuse me, but who are you?"

  "Luó Fēi, mother is sorry to you, let you suffer...” Xióng Qíhuá looked at the opposite side and didn't recognize her own daughter. Thinking that her daughter had been disfigured, she was overcome with grief and couldn't help but sob. There was no need to pretend to have come to this inn unintentionally, Xióng Qíhuá had completely fallen into self-blame.

  Ji Luo Fei was struck as if by lightning, staring blankly at the middle-aged woman in front of her who was consumed by grief. After a while, she asked dully, "Are you my mother?"

  Ji Luo immediately knew that the other party was her mother, a kind of innate connection that rose from the bottom of her heart, making it impossible for her to doubt.

  "Mother..." Ji Luo Fei suddenly couldn't hold back her tears. So many years had passed, and she was still alone. Before Ning City changed, she was always a forgotten corner in the Ning household. Countless times, she would dream of returning to her mother's side while asleep. Countless times when she couldn't hold on anymore, she would think that as long as she lived, there would come a day when she could find her mother.

  Now her mother suddenly appeared in front of her, making her wonder if she was dreaming.

  A single cry from the daughter removed all the awkwardness between the mother and daughter since their first meeting, and they hugged each other and sobbed bitterly.

  It wasn't until much later that Ji Luofei suddenly remembered they were still outside, and she hastily led her mother into her own room.

  Xiong Qi Hua had also calmed down a bit by now. She asked again, "Luo Fei, what's wrong with your face? What exactly happened?"

  She asked and then didn't wait for Ji Luo Fei to respond, murmuring, "Mother owes you an apology, when you were still in my arms, Mother ruthlessly left you..."

  Seeing her mother's incessant self-blame and muttering to herself, Ji Luofei felt an unbearable pang in her heart. She grasped her mother's hand and choked out the words, "Mother, this isn't your fault. We got separated in the Da'an Forest, but we were able to reunite again, and I'm already very happy about that. Mother, did Father come with you?"

  After asking, Ji Luofei felt that something was wrong. Her mother had come, but her father hadn't, which meant that her father had encountered some trouble. Thinking of this, her face immediately turned somewhat pale as she stood up, "Mother, where's my father? Didn't my father come out from the Da'an Forest?"

  Xiong Qi Hua also stood up, holding Ji Luo Fei's hand and said, "Luo Fei, things are not going as planned, there are many. Although your father is gone, but we mother and daughter can meet again, he should be at peace under the nine springs."

  Ji Luo Fei collapsed to her knees and wept, "Father had never seen me before he died." As a child, what could be more heartbreaking than this?

  Xiong Qi Hua helped her daughter up, feeling extremely conflicted. When she really saw her own daughter, she suddenly didn't want to deceive her daughter. The fact that her daughter was treating her like this meant that Ning Cheng had not revealed the things between her and Zhu Hongwen.

  Does she still want to continue deceiving her own daughter with lies?

  But every time she wanted to tell the truth, Zhu Hongwen's face and smile appeared in front of her eyes. She knew that as long as she told her daughter the truth, she would never be able to be with her again. Subconsciously, she stroked her belly, which was the crystallization of her love for him.

  If her daughter doesn't allow her to continue with Hongwen, then when she has a second child, won't she face the situation of not having a father again?

  Only Hongwen's approach can make his daughter accept her and accept Hongwen as her stepfather.

  Not only are her children inseparable from Hongwen, but she is also inseparable from Hongwen. In this world, only Hongwen loves her. From the first day she met Hongwen, this love has never changed. Even when she was forced to marry into the Ji family, even when she stayed in the Da'an Forest for over a decade, Hongwen was always by her side, almost never leaving her line of sight.

  "Daughter, don't be sad anymore. Let's go to the Da'an Forest together in the future and pay our respects to your father." Ji Luofei still sensed that something was off about her mother despite being heartbroken.

  Xiong Qi Hua came back to her senses, rubbed her red and swollen eyes, and sobbed, "I was trapped in the Da'an Forest for over a decade. Although I always thought about leaving the Da'an Forest in my heart, I simply couldn't leave the Da'an Forest. I could only stay in a safe place within the Da'an Forest, and that's how I ended up being stuck there for over ten years..."

  "Mother..." Ji Luo Fei thought of her mother being trapped in the terrifying Da An Forest for over a decade, and her heart ached with sorrow.

  Da'an Forest She had heard Ning City say that it was fraught with danger. Fortunately, every monster has its own territory, and if one can find a safe place to settle, they can barely survive. It's clear that her mother did the same thing, but the hardships involved are easy to imagine.

  Ji Luofei felt a pang in her heart and quickly rushed over to support Xiong Qihua.

  Xiong Qi Hua this time, however, was consciously stroking her slightly bulging belly. This time, Ji Luo Fei saw it clearly. She immediately asked in surprise, "Mother, your..."

  She didn't dare to ask, but her mind was a complete blank. Her lower abdomen was slightly bulging, which was obviously a symptom of pregnancy, but how could her mother be pregnant when her father was no longer around?

  Xiong Qi Hua's face turned deathly pale after hearing Ji Luo Fei's words, and she raised her hand to grab a dagger, ready to stab it into her own neck.

  Ji Luo Fei panicked and exclaimed in shock, "Mother, you..."

  He didn't even have time to think twice, and with a burst of strength, he grabbed Xiong Qihua's hand, surprisingly stopping the weak and powerless Xiong Qihua.

  Xiong Qi Hua's dagger fell to the ground with a "ding". The person also sat down in despair, muttering to himself, "Luo Fei, I owe an apology to your father and to you. I don't even have the courage to take my own life...

  "Why is it like this? Why is it like this..." Ji Luofei muttered to herself, completely unaware that she and her mother would meet again, and why such a thing would happen.

  Xiong Qi Hua seemed to be explaining to Ji Luo Fei, and also seemed to be muttering to herself, "That day I left my residence a short distance away, didn't expect to encounter a third-level demonic beast. I was ambushed by the demonic beast, suffered heavy injuries, just as I was desperately running away, someone suddenly saved me. I also didn't think that there would be people coming to Da An Forest, and my heart was extremely joyful. As long as there were people, it meant that I had a high possibility of leaving Da An Forest. Because I was already injured, plus the demonic beast's poisonous gas, I fainted."

  Ji Luo Fei had long forgotten about her mother's pregnancy and asked anxiously, "What happened next?"

  "Later, that person found my residence, sent me back, and then helped me treat my wounds." Xiong Qi said with a sorrowful tone.

  Ji Luo Fei didn't notice her mother's tone was off and continued to say gratefully, "Then thank that person, luckily we met him."

  Xiong Qi's voice was sorrowful as he said, "If it happened again, I would rather face that monster alone than be saved by him. Although he saved me, he was also affected by the poisonous fog sprayed by the monster. The monster's poisonous fog contained a lust-inducing toxin. When he was treating my wounds, he finally couldn't hold back and forcibly...me..."

  Ji Luo Fei finally understood what had happened, a benefactor saved her mother, but the benefactor was also affected by the demonic beast's poison and forcibly had an affair with her mother. Should she hate him or thank him?

  Xiong Qi Hua looked at her daughter's silly expression and knew that her husband was right.

  Zhu Hongwen thinks that Ning Xiaocheng and Luo Fei have been living together for so long, but Luo Fei is still a virgin, which means that Ning Xiaocheng is quite decent in his relationships with women, or he is good at secretly deceiving people. Forcing a relationship to happen requires certain reasons.

  "After I woke up, I struggled desperately, but it was too late, and no matter how hard I resisted, the fact couldn't be changed. At this time, my steward, who had been searching for me in the Da'an Forest with great difficulty, finally found me because of my voice. The man, although seriously injured, managed to escape from my steward. Alas, my body was taken by that man, and I was seen clearly by a steward..."

  Xiong Qi Hua seemed unable to bear her inner sorrow any longer and burst into tears.

  Ji Luo Fei cried and hugged her mother, also feeling heartbroken for her mother's tragic fate. After the two of them had cried bitterly for a long time, Ji Luo Fei finally asked with sobs, "Mother, do you know who that person is?"

  Xiong Qi Hua wiped her red and swollen eyes, sobbing as she said, "He seemed to say Ning Xiao Cheng..."

  "What?" Ji Luofei heard Ning Xiaocheng's name and her chest suddenly felt sweet, she opened her mouth and a stream of blood shot out.
