After Gu Yu finished speaking, Devon became hesitant. After all, even if he was a sorcerer, he still had to live. If he lost this, he would have to live on the streets.
Gu Lin saw his hesitation and said, “As long as you’re willing to let Lily go, we won’t attack.”
“What about my wife?” Devon asked.
No one expected him to be so stubborn about Cheng Xi. He was actually unwilling to let go at this point. Even if he didn’t want his daughter, he wanted his wife to return to his side.
Cheng Xi stood up and said, “As long as you’re willing to let Lily go, I’ll go back. However, the premise is that you’re not allowed to see Lily again for the rest of your life. Just pretend that you never had this daughter.”
When Lily heard Cheng Xi say this, she cried, “I don’t want to. If Mommy returns to Daddy, I won’t live anymore.”
Devon quickly cast a spell on Lily, preventing her from speaking for the time being. Then, he looked at Cheng Xi and said, “I promise you. As long as you’re willing to come back to me, I’ll agree to anything.”
Cheng Xi turned to look at Gu Teng and said, “I want to hand Lily to you to take care of. You are the person I trust the most in this world. I will always be grateful to you. Even if I can’t repay you in my life, I will definitely find you in my next life to repay you.”
Gu Teng pulled her and refused to let go. She shook her head and said, “Are you going to bury your entire life?”
She also wanted to save Lily, but she did not want to pay the price of Cheng Xi. No matter who it was, neither of them would have an easy time in Devon’s hands. Abandoning Cheng Xi was no different from sending her to hell.
“I don’t want to do this either, but I’m a mother. I have to do this for my child.” Cheng Xi pulled her hand out of Gu Teng’s and walked forward step by step. “If you let Lily go, I’ll walk to your side.”
Devon carefully allowed Lily to move forward, then urged, “Come quickly.”
Yunbao pulled Cheng Xi’s sleeve and said, “We can save Sister Lily. Don’t go back. He will still hit you in the future.”
Cheng Xi wanted to pull her sleeve out of Yunbao’s hand, but she could not succeed no matter what. Yunbao really did not want her to go over.
“Let me go,” Cheng Xi said. “You and Lily have to get along well in the future.”
Yunbao said anxiously, “Is there no other way?
Purple Eye floated out and said, “Listen to his thoughts.”
Receiving this hint, Yunbao quickly chanted an incantation and listened carefully to what Devon was thinking.
“As long as Cheng Xi comes back, I can bring Lily back too. She has the spell I left behind. I can bring her back even if I run to the ends of the world.”
Yunbao quickly shouted) “Auntie Cheng, come back quickly. Sister Lily has his spell on her. Even if he lets Sister Lily go now, he will still capture her.”
Devon was anxious. “What nonsense are you spouting, you damned child? I promised my wife I would do it.”
Cheng Xi took a step back and said, “I don’t believe you unless you swear on your wand.”
The relationship between wands and wizards complemented each other. If a wizard did not fulfill his oath to the wand, he would never be able to use his own wand again.
Devon hesitated. “You know how important the wand is to me. I won’t lie to you.”
After he said that, Cheng Xi was sure that what Yunbao said was true. Devon wanted to deceive her and then capture Lily to continue imprisoning her. She could not let this happen.
“Since she’s not coming, don’t blame me. As long as I threaten her with Lily’s life, I’ll definitely succeed,” Yunbao heard Devon say in his heart.
She immediately picked up her wand and attacked Devon, giving him no time to hurt Lily. At this moment, Yaya came out and flew towards Lily.
Yunbao shouted, “Sister Lily, run!”
Lily didn’t know exactly what had happened) but she understood that Yunbao had come to save her. She made a snap decision and bit Devon’s hand.
Taking advantage of the pain, Devon realized that Lily had broken free from his grip. He picked up the wand and aimed it at her back. He chanted an offensive spell, not caring that she was his biological daughter.
Yaya understood what Devon wanted to do. She used a part of her soul to envelop Lily and then attacked Devon with a strong resentment.
Although Yaya appeared harmless by Yunbao’ s side, she was still a ghost with strong grievances. Coupled with her many years of cultivation in, her cultivation was not something ordinary ghosts could compare to.
Devon was almost overwhelmed by the resentment. He used several spells to defend himself, and Lily successfully ran to Yunbao’s side.
Seeing that her daughter had finally escaped, Cheng Xi ran forward and hugged her. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried..
