Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor

Chapter 4636 Resentment

Feng Jiu nodded in understanding. "I know." With that simple acknowledgment, she took Wanyan Qianhua's hand and they returned to the lively table.

The following day, after bidding farewell to her family, Feng Jiu, accompanied by her three children, the ever-present masked man, Leng Hua, Leng Shuang, and Du Fan, set off towards the Black Tortoise Monarch's palace.

Aboard the airship, Hao'er's curiosity surfaced. "Mother," he began, "Seventeen went to the Phoenix Guard training camp. When we return to the mortal world, should we bring him along?"

Since their return and the revelation of Seventeen's unwavering loyalty, their mother had arranged for him to join the prestigious Phoenix Guard training camp. Several days had passed since then, and they hadn't seen him, leaving them wondering about his current situation.

Feng Jiu, seated at the bow of the flying ship, was enjoying a cup of wine and conversing with the masked man. Hearing Hao'er's question, she turned with a gentle smile. "Do you want to bring him with you?"

Hao'er nodded eagerly. "Yes, I want to take him back to have a look. He lived there for so many years, and all his friends are there. If we're going back anyway, let's take him!"

"Alright," Feng Jiu agreed readily. "After we visit your parents, we'll pick him up and take him to the mortal world."

"Mother, Mother, Yue'er has some very dear friends in the Pan family!" Yue'er chimed in, leaning against her mother and speaking excitedly in her soft voice. "There's Sister Xue'er, and there's also..."

She nestled closer to Feng Jiu's chest, recounting the delightful times she had spent with the young masters and ladies of the Pan family.

The spaceship glided smoothly through the air. Du Fan, Leng Hua, and Leng Shuang stood, sat, or leaned against the sides, listening with smiles to Yue'er's sweet voice as she recounted one amusing anecdote after another with infectious enthusiasm. Before they knew it, time had slipped away unnoticed.

Within the Black Tortoise Palace, the Black Tortoise Monarch, having already received Feng Jiu's message, awaited their arrival in the main hall. Noticing that his wife had yet to join him, he addressed his attendants. "Go and check on the lady and the young master again. Why haven't they arrived yet?"

"We're here." The Black Tortoise Mistress entered the hall, her young son by her side. She looked at the Black Tortoise Monarch, a hint of displeasure in her voice. "They aren't here yet. Did you truly need to rush us over and over again?" As she spoke, she led her young son forward, sat down beside her husband, and lifted the child onto her lap.

"My lady, Feng Jiu is bringing Hao'er back today. They went through considerable difficulty to find our child and returned him to us personally. As the hosts and Hao'er's biological parents, we must ensure we are not rude or disrespectful," the Black Tortoise Monarch said gently, reaching out to take her hand.

"They lost the child in the first place, so it's only natural that they found him," she retorted, a touch of bitterness in her tone. "Besides, look at Hao'er. He has been constantly thinking about Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan Mo Ze, calling them Father and Mother. Anyone who didn't know would assume they were his real parents!" A trace of resentment and unfairness were mixed in.

Hearing this, the Black Tortoise Monarch sighed softly. "Why do you say such things? You know that Hao'er was lost when he was very young, and it was they who rescued him and raised him until he was five or six years old before we even knew where he was. It's only natural that he feels a distance from us. After all, he lived with them all that time, and they treated him with great kindness."

"Yes, yes, I know," she conceded, her voice softening slightly. "Hao'er is my son; how could I not love him? But this child has always been so reserved, like a piece of cold stone that cannot be warmed. As his mother, how can I not feel disheartened by this?"
