Genshin Impact: Ningguang is still a pitiful little thing, I invested in her.

However, as time went on, Shenhe's speed slowed down.

She had already exhausted herself once before, and now climbing the mountain had further depleted her energy; she was truly out of strength.

Shen He looked up at his father and asked, "Father, may I sit down and rest for a bit?"

"Because He'er really couldn't walk anymore."

Right now, all she wants to do is sit down and rub her aching and swollen calves.

After all, she was just a five-year-old girl, so her physical strength was naturally not as good as that of an adult.

Upon hearing this, Shen He's father reached out and ruffled Shen He's hair, then said softly, "He'er, we'll be at the back of the mountain soon."

"It's just a few steps, hang in there a little longer."

"Once we get to the back of the mountain, you can rest for a long time, okay?"

Although it was phrased as a suggestion

However, Shen He's father did not give the little girl a chance to make a choice.

He continued to hold Shen He's hand and walk towards the back of the mountain.

From childhood to adulthood, Shen He has always been an obedient and sensible child.

She naturally nodded in agreement to her father's arrangement.

Shen He is currently gritting his teeth and persevering, continuing to climb the mountain.

She didn't understand why her father was so obsessed with the back mountain.

And it seemed like the father didn't want to waste a single moment.

What exactly is in that cave that makes my father so eager to get there?

Xiao Shenhe couldn't understand it.

Shen He blinked his big eyes and asked his father curiously, "Father, what exactly is in the back mountain?"

"Do we really have to go at night? He'er's a little scared..."

The mountains and forests were pitch black; you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

An eerie wind whistling echoed in my ears, lingering for a long time.

Xiao Shenhe had never seen anything like this before and was a little nervous.

The middle-aged man forced a smile and explained to Shen He, "I've prepared a big surprise for you on the back mountain. I'm sure you'll love it when you see it."

"As for being afraid... He'er, don't be afraid. With your father here, I will protect you and won't let you get hurt in any way."

Shen He felt a sense of reassurance from his father's calm and firm words.

In Shen He's heart, his father was a great hero who vanquished demons and upheld justice.

Hearing his father's words of comfort, Shen He felt relieved and gritted his teeth to persevere.

quickly,

Xiao Shenhe followed his father to the location of the cave.

however,

When Shen He entered the cave, she was completely stunned.

Because she didn't see any surprises, but instead saw a ghost-like monster.

The monster emitted an extremely eerie black light from its entire body.

Strands of crimson resentment clung tightly to its body like arms, like shackles.

At this moment, the demon stared intently at Shen He.

The moment the demon met Shen He's gaze, its empty, lifeless eyes suddenly lit up with a greedy and brutal light.

"The fate of being a 'lone star' is something ordinary people would keep their distance from, but for me it's a good source of inspiration."

"If I could devour this little girl, it would definitely help me regain a lot of my strength."

The monster's laughter sent chills down his spine as it walked step by step toward Shen He.

It's not fast.

It must have been severely damaged previously and is now on its last legs.

Even so, Shen He was still somewhat apprehensive.

After all, it was a monster, a species she had never encountered before.

Shen He instinctively tightened his grip on his father's hand.

Only in this way will she not be so afraid.

In Shen He's eyes, his father was an omnipotent hero.

As long as her father is there, she will not be in any danger.

Certainly not.

Father will definitely be able to destroy this monster!

Shen He firmly believes this.

however,

Shen He's father no longer had the doting and protective look on his face; instead, it was replaced by indifference.

A demeanor even colder than that of a stranger.

He released Shen He's hand indifferently and left the cave without looking back.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

It happened so fast that Shen He didn't even have time to react.

By the time she realized what was happening, her father had already reached the door.

Shen He looked up at his father in disbelief.

She realized what was happening.

The so-called surprise was nothing more than a trick by her father to lure her up the mountain.

The real purpose was to bring her before the monster!

Shen He shook his head.

She couldn't believe that her father, who had previously vowed to protect her, was now abandoning her.

She must be offered to this monster.

"Father...why are you doing this to He'er?"

Shen He raised his head and asked.

Her tears fell silently.

Clearly, they couldn't believe it.

After his mother's passing, Shen He worried that his father would be unable to cope with his grief.

So she always behaved well and sensible, wanting to make her father happy.

She didn't understand why her father wanted to sacrifice her to the demons.

She clearly did nothing wrong.

However, Shen He's father's face was cold, and his voice was devoid of any emotion: "Shen He, you were born a jinx."

"You brought bad luck to your mother, and she died because of you."

"Do you still want to bring me death now?"

"Rather than letting you wreak havoc on humanity, we'd rather offer you to this sir in exchange for your mother's return."

After Shen He's father finished speaking, he left without looking back.

even,

Before leaving, he even brought a large rock to block up the cave.

It seemed as if they were worried about Shen He's escape.

His father's words echoed in Shen He's mind again and again.

It felt like needles were piercing Shen He's heart.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Shen He really wouldn't have believed that those words would come from his father's mouth.

She regarded her father as an omnipotent hero.

As a result, her father regarded her as a harbinger of disaster and sacrificed her.

In this light, it's truly ironic.

As for sacrificing her to bring her mother back...

If it were truly possible to bring his mother back to life, Shen He would agree without hesitation.

But she didn't believe that the ugly evil spirit in front of her had such power.

Shen He doesn't have time to think about this right now.

Her eyes were fixed on the monster in front of her.

The little girl was scared, but more than anything, she wanted to survive.

Because before her mother passed away from illness, she had called her to her side.

When facing Shen He, the mother simply expressed a wish.

"He'er, I only hope that you grow up healthy and safe."

She's still not grown up yet.

My mother's wish has not yet been fulfilled.

If Mother in heaven could see this, she would surely be heartbroken.
