"I visited the Rose Empire and the Enlightened Sky Empire as well." Qingyi said, sitting down next to Qianyao.
His hands flowed to the dragon beauty's hands. His strong, calloused fingers intertwined with hers, long, soft, and perfect.
Tianjin did not respond to those words, pouring himself a cup of tea before serving Qingyi and his daughter as well.
"Drink a little." He said, his noble and dignified voice sounding weaker than usual.
"Father..." Qianyao's grip on Qingyi's hands tightened, her lips trembling.
"I'm fine." Tianjin coughed heavily, patting his own chest and forcing out all the vitality he could still muster. "Speak, Qingyi, what did you see there?"
"Demon seeds."
The moment he heard those words, Tianjin froze.
His eyes widened and he rose from his seat.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes." Qingyi nodded. "While I was in the Rose Kingdom, I killed an avatar of a being called the Heavenly Demon. I believe you know him, correct?"
