A Core Ship From The Start
/ A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 537 – Chapter 537 Chapter 398
Chapter 537: Chapter 398 – Father's Love is as Steady as a Mountain_1 Chapter 537: Chapter 398 – Father's Love is as Steady as a Mountain_1 “So that's how it is.”
After hearing Zhi Jingxiang's story, Duanmu Huai nodded, finally understanding the whole situation.
In simple terms, a powerful magician named Rakaru coveted Zhi Jingxiang's mother, so he killed her father and took her mother. As a result, Zhi Jingxiang was cast adrift… Uh huh…
Could this Mister Rakaru's surname be Cao?
Wait a minute?
“But isn't this the territory of one of the Four Heavenly Kings, a woman named Najiji? Does she have anything to do with the person you're searching for?”
“Of course, she's also called Rakaru, and Wu Luze has already investigated, she's Rakaru's daughter! They must be connected! She must know where Rakaru is, even if I have to torture it out of her!!”
As she spoke, Zhi Jingxiang bit her lip and stood up. Once again, she nearly collapsed, but Duanmu Huai caught her.
“Alright, alright, take a rest.”
“What are you talking about, what if she flees…”
“With your current condition, what can you do?”
Duanmu Huai looked at Zhi Jingxiang's pale face, her ragged clothes, and her tired expression.
“Haven't you noticed? In your state, you'd be like a lamb to the slaughter. Unless she's in a coma, she'd kill you with a single finger. What if your revenge doesn't work and you end up getting yourself in trouble, wouldn't that be a bad deal? Come on, take a rest, eat something, replenish some energy.”
Upon hearing Duanmu Huai's advice, Zhi Jingxiang was silent for a moment. Then she sat down, took the water and bread that Duanmu Huai handed her, and began to eat hungrily.
It was evident that she was indeed worn out.
After finishing her meal, Zhi Jingxiang's complexion seemed to have improved a lot. She stared at Duanmu Huai, her eyebrows knit together.
“What? Are you going to try to persuade me to give up on revenge?”
“No, how could that be?”
Duanmu Huai spread his hands and shrugged.
“Avenge the murder of one's father and abduction of one's mother? It's only right and proper. I think you're doing fine.”
“……….Really?”
On hearing Duanmu Huai's reply, Zhi Jingxiang's tense expression relaxed a great deal.
“But others don't think so, including Maria. They believe I shouldn't seek revenge… I know what they're trying to say. I've been living for this day since I was a child… But… I won't let go of my hatred!”
“That's perfectly normal.
Duanmu Huai saw nothing wrong with Jingxiang's opinion. Compared to the conveniently sentimental idea in many Japanese games that “revenge leaves only emptiness,” Duanmu Huai preferred the wuxia style, where protagonists live for revenge.
Isn't it like company presidents lamenting that they only have money left?
At least you must have money to lament, right?
Feeling empty? At least you must have had your revenge to talk about feeling empty, right?
“…Thank you.”
On hearing Duanmu Huai's response, Zhi Jingxiang smiled, then rose to her feet.
“I have to keep moving.”
“We're going with you. We'll see what happens, and we can't let you die here, can we?”
Duanmu Huai clapped his hands and stood up with Ogis. Hearing his words, Zhi Jingxiang was silent for a moment before she sighed.
“Do as you please, just don't get in my way.”
After eating and resting for a while, Zhi Jingxiang seemed energized and continued heading to the top of the tower.
However, just as the trio reached the top of the tower, a loud boom resounded. The door before them was blown open, and the body of a demon flew out, hitting the nearby wall and turning into a mess of flesh and blood.
They peeked into the room, which was littered with demon bodies, almost like a sea of corpses and blood. Amid this sea, a girl about the same age as Zhi Jingxiang stood. She had golden hair tied in a ponytail and emanated a murderous aura.
There was no need to ask; this was Najiji Ze Rakaru, one of Seth's Four Kings.
Looking at Najiji, Zhi Jingxiang revealed a hint of confusion, but quickly composed herself and entered the room.
On seeing Zhi Jingxiang and the others approach, Najiji also raised her head, staring at her.
“You're Najiji, right?”
Staring at Najiji, Zhi Jingxiang asked. In return, the latter just snorted.
“Indeed, it's nice meeting you, daughter of Masou…Zhi Jingxiang…”
“How do you know my name?”
Upon hearing Najiji's reply, Zhi Jingxiang was taken aback. Meanwhile, Najiji just laughed softly.
“Do you find it unbelievable? Why would I know your name? Why don't you take a guess?”
Zhi Jingxiang's face changed slightly upon hearing this.
“Could it be that Rakaru… knows about me?”
“Yes, exactly.”
Najiji nodded.
“My father knows about you. About the child between Masou and his wife… Annsumaze. It's just that he only recently found out that the child happened to be a girl. Oh, right, my father did investigate you and even obtained a picture.”
At this point, Najiji's voice also gradually grew more excited.
“After my father saw the picture, he was overjoyed. He said 'My Annsumaze is still alive eh, Annsumaze… who died giving birth to Najiji. Her daughter, who looks exactly like her, is still alive…!'”
“…What?!”
Upon hearing this, Zhi Jingxiang was stunned, and even Duanmu Huai looked at Najiji with surprise. He had thought Najiji looked somewhat familiar, now upon a closer look, if Najiji's hair was dyed green, she would look very much like Zhi Jingxiang….So this means…
“You are Rakaru's daughter? My….sister?”
It must be said, even Zhi Jingxiang who was determined, was shocked at this development. She had never imagined that she had a half-sister who shared the same mother.
Meanwhile, Duanmu Huai grabbed some sunflower seeds, cracking them open and eating them.
This plot twist is similar to that of Shao Yu'er and Hua Wuque!
What a drama!
“Yes, after mother died, father became a different person. He blames everything on you…blames the child of Annsumaze. If mother hadn't been constantly worrying about you, maybe she wouldn't have died…Therefore, he trained me, etched magical symbols into my body, and made me take enhancement drugs. Although it was painful, I endured…Because, I wanted father's praise, his love! So I strove to become stronger! As long as I became stronger, father would always love me! For father, I could endure any treatment!”
As she spoke, Najiji's eyes were red and she glared fiercely at Zhi Jingxiang.
“At that time, I was indeed happy. Once I killed you, killed the child of Annsumaze and Masou, then father would forever cherish me! However… however! When father, saw your picture! After he saw the picture of you who look exactly like Annsumaze, he actually expressed the desire to adopt you!!!”
“Uh… ”
The turn of events had not only baffled Zhi Jingxiang, but Duanmu Huai wasn't able to keep up either.
My, you actually plan to adopt the daughter of the man you killed? Have you lost your mind?
Unlike the silent Zhi Jingxiang, Najiji seemed to grow angrier at this moment.
“It's utterly ridiculous. I've worked hard until now just to kill you! I tolerated so much! So much! All this to get father's approval, to kill you! Now, you are even more important than I am in father's heart! So, what is the point of everything I've done?”
While talking, Najiji turned her head with a crazed smile.
“Therefore, I have to do this…I can only do this!!”
Following the direction of Najiji's gaze, Zhi Jingxiang and Duanmu Huai both couldn't help but gasp.
They saw, floating in a tank similar to a biological incubator not far away, the remains of a blond man, a head and upper body, staring blankly ahead. If not for his blinking eyes, one might think this was a corpse…
“This, this… ”
It has to be said, even Zhi Jingxiang was stunned at this point. Before coming here, she had imagined countless scenarios of meeting her father's killer, but she never thought that he would be turned into something akin to a human specimen! And the one who did it was his very own daughter!
Wow, this show is really something!
At this moment, Duanmu Huai's eyes were shining, marveling at the scene before him.
At that moment, the man floating in the tube saw Zhi Jingxiang, and his originally cloudy eyes suddenly brightened.
“Annsumaze…No, wrong, Annsumaze is dead… You are Zhi Jingxiang… right?”
“Rakaru!!!”
Seeing her father's murderer before her, Zhi Jingxiang yelled out in rage, yet at this moment, she didn't even know what to do.
In response to her shout, Rakaru blissfully closed his eyes.
“Ahh, the same voice as Annsumaze… To meet Annsumaze again… What a miracle!”
“No, not… ”
Staring at the crazed remnants in front of her, Zhi Jingxiang shook her head, while Najiji took a step forward, glaring at her like a wild beast.
“No, Father, this is the child of Masou, Zhi Jingxiang, your most hated enemy's daughter. And now, I will fulfil your wish and …kill her with my own hands!”
“No, No!!”
At Najiji's words, Rakaru suddenly wailed.
” Don't kill my Annsumaze! No!!!”
“Hehehe… ”
Hearing her father's wailing, Najiji burst into laughter.
“Annsumaze, Annsumaze, Annsumaze, Annsumaze, Annsumaze, Annsumaze… You only care about Annsumaze, you've never considered me! But now, it's all going to end! Father, I will face the child of Masou in the final duel, right in front of you!”
As she spoke, Najiji abruptly raised her hand, summoning a barrier, separating Zhi Jingxiang and Duanmu Huai.
“Let's go, sister! Let father see who amongst us sisters is stronger!”
