Chapter 1325: The Austerity and Worry in Night Leaning Moon’s Eyes
As Blue Lotus, Blood New Moon, and White Phoenix stood above the island and looked up at the sun, they felt as though they were riding on a rollercoaster. When the rollercoaster was going down, they felt like they were going to throw up at any moment.
The only thing more painful than being separated from one’s lover was being separated from one’s child.
Blood New Moon already knew what it was like to be apart from his lover forever. Even now, he dreamed of Jade Sundial every night. Yet now, he had to suffer the agony of being separated from his child.
No matter what happened, Blood New Moon could not allow the child he just found out was alive to die in the process of awakening her bloodline.
Jade Sundial had told Blood New Moon about the uniqueness of her bloodline. This was why Blood New Moon had not ended his life when he found out his daughter was still alive and was awakening her Sky Sundial Jade Spider bloodline.
After Blood New Moon unlocked his Sky Sundial Jade Spider bloodline, his power was a level lower than that of Blue Lotus and White Phoenix. But if he was intent on ending his life, they would be unable to stop him.
He had experienced the awakening of the Sky Sundial Jade Spider bloodline. Both he and his child had the Blood Red Bird-Catching Spider bloodline. He would be the best guide if he was by his child’s side now.
Moreover, Blood New Moon could sacrifice himself at the right time to give his child the heat portion of the Sky Sundial Jade Spider bloodline. Although this would kill him and his child’s potential would be impacted by the fusion of heat and light portions of the bloodline, at least his daughter would live.
Hundreds of ribbons of sunlight would fall after nine, and Blood New Moon felt a renewed sense of helplessness and deep despair. It was as though he was reliving the day he lost Jade Sundial.
It was this distress that led Blood New Moon to be grateful to the Moon Empress when he saw the two moons in the sky next to the sun.
Before White Phoenix and Blue Lotus could say anything, he placed his hand on their shoulders and said, “Blue Lotus. White Phoenix, let’s continue rushing. We need to reach the Radiance Federation as soon as possible because I’m dying to see her.”
Blood New Moon spoke with conviction, but his voice broke when he said the word ‘her’. Although he was a father, he could not be sure if his child was a son or a daughter.
As such, he said with a strained voice, “How much hardship do you think that child has suffered ever since she was born? Do you think she resents me for not searching for her and allowing her to wander around alone? Do you think she blames me for not fulfilling my responsibility as a father?”

Blue Lotus and White Phoenix were at a loss for words,
Blood New Moon was right that this was a problem. The child was completely ignorant and did not even have a concept of what parents were. Before she reached Diamond grade, the clashing bloodlines in her body would cause her to be weak, and she must have experienced significant suffering in her life until now.
If Blood New Moon suddenly appeared in front of the child and claimed to be her father, would she truly accept him? He had feelings for her, but he was no different from a stranger to her.
Although Blue Lotus and White Phoenix shared this sentiment, they could not tell it to Blood New Moon.
Blood New Moon had just managed to calm down, and telling him such a thing right now might kill him!
Eventually, Blue Lotus said softly, “Blood New Moon, kinship comes from the bloodline. No matter what happened in the past, she will be able to accept you once you two meet. White Phoenix and I will tell her about how much she had a mother who greatly looked forward to her birth and split her bloodline into two for her. We’ll also tell her about how delighted her father was when he found out she was still alive. Blood New Moon, since God allowed the two of you to reunite, you will have more than enough time together.”

Blue Lotus paused and looked enviously up at the two moons before continuing. “The Radiance Federation’s Moon Empress has become so powerful. What is that purple moon? Since the Moon Empress is the one who’s saving Little Love, I’m sure Little Love won’t be in any danger in the Radiance Federation. Don’t worry, Blood New Moon. We’ll go and see the Moon Empress when we arrive at the Radiance Federation. We can see if Sacred Cry is doing well too.”
Blood New Moon nodded but did not say anything else.
The three of them used their power to speed toward the Radiance Federation. They abandoned their plan to attack Tower Canon’s secret bases along the way.
The Moon Empress used ribbons of moonlight to keep the sunlight at bay, thereby saving Blood New Moon’s child. If he confirmed that his child was still alive when he arrived at the Radiance Federation, he was willing to do anything to repay the Moon Empress. Even if she wanted him to do something that threatened his life, he would not bat an eye.
Nonetheless, he still hoped that he could live and spend the rest of his life with his child. His child had already lost her mother, but she could still receive more love than any other fey had ever received.
Meanwhile…
The blazing sunlight had not stopped.
In the Spirit Guards’ land in the Royal Capital of the Radiance Federation, a woman with her face covered by a veil and dressed in a long black dress was standing on a swaying metal bridge.
Her eyes were fixed on the two moons in the sky, and her gaze was brimming with austerity and concern. There was also clear worry in her eyes.
The air around her fluctuated, and the sky darkened momentarily. It was as though the sun had turned into an eternal night for a split second.
At that moment, a solemn voice said from beside her, “Chief Guard, we just received word from Raging Waves City. Young Liege did not tell Elder Liu what he and Lord Lin Yuan were going to do on the island, but Elder Liu guessed that they could be going to collect something from the island. But the sea a distance away from Raging Waves City started behaving strangely, and huge waves appeared that threatened the safety of Raging Waves City.
“When the Raging Waves Guard went to check on the situation, they were blocked. According to the Raging Waves Captain’s description, Elder Liu is sure that the person who blocked them was Gu En.”
Zuo Ming paused to check Night Leaning Moon’s expression before continuing.
