As Long Xian sat by his daughter's bedside, his hands trembling slightly, he glanced up at Zhang Yuan through tear-filled eyes.
His voice was soft, cracking under the weight of his emotions, "M-Master Yuan... will she truly be alright?"
Zhang Yuan t his gaze with a solemn expression, but there was a gentleness in his eyes. "I have stopped her pain for now. She's asleep and won't suffer for a while. But treating her condition... it will require ti. "
"I'll need to gather rare herbs and other materials to create the right redy. Only then can I attempt to cure her."
Long Xian hurriedly stood up, a glimr of hope in his eyes "Then does that an that you can s-save my daughter? Master.. Yuan?"
With a soft smile, Zhang Yuan nodded his head "Yeah..."
Hearing this, Long Xian's heart fluttered in gratitude and tears stread from his eyes flowing down his cheeks "i-I am forever.. grateful to you, Master Yuan..."
At this ti, Xue Hua stepped forward and gently grazed Long Yue's hand sensing the demonic energy pulsating within her.
"Master..." Xue Hua's voice was calm, but laced with concern. "You ntioned that sothing awakened her dormant demonic bloodline. What could have triggered such a transformation after so many years?"
Looking at her, Zhang Yuan shook his head "I am not sure what it is... but that is the reason for this state of her."
Then he turned his gaze to Long Xian who was wiping away his tears "Where is her mother?"
Long Xian took a deep breath to control his emotions and replied "Her mother... she returned to the Demonic Domain years ago. I... I didn't even know her true identity until after she left. I learned she is a royal demon, a powerful figure in the demonic seas."
"She was summoned back to her domain by forces beyond my reach. Since then... I've heard nothing from her. And... and I can't trespass into the Demonic Domain. The Malefic Horde demons would kill on sight for even trying."
Zhang Yuan's brow furrowed slightly, understanding the complexity of the situation. A royal demon, no less. This was no ordinary bloodline they were dealing with.
Xue Hua spoke in a calm tone "If we can use holy energy... we can at least cure the corrosive effect of her Half-demon blood."
Long Xian turned to glimpse at Xue Hua "Holy energy... then we need soone from the Yu Hong holy land? Only they can use holy energy..."
Zhang Yuan shook his head "The people of Yu Hong Holy Land are indeed capable of using holy energy, but they are also fanatical in their hatred for anything related to demons."
"The mont they sense even the faintest trace of demonic energy from your daughter, they would consider her an abomination and try to kill her."
Long Xian's face went pale as he realized. "They would... kill her?"
Zhang Yuan gave a faint nod. "They wouldn't hesitate."
A cold sweat broke across Long Xian's forehead, and he swallowed hard, his heart racing in fear.
Zhang Yuan smiled in his heart. 'If only Hong Shi was here, we could have used her Holy fla to help her...'
'But I am sure.. she won't help a demon.. hahaha.'
Long Xian felt conflicted and muttered, "But only people in Yu Hong holy land can use holy energy..."
With a shake of his head, Zhang Yuan spoke "Not necessarily."
As he mumbled, Zhang Yuan's hand slowly rose, and the air around them suddenly shifted.
A soft golden light began to radiate from his palm, spreading through the room like a warm, soothing breeze. The energy was pure and calming, filling the space with an undeniable sense of peace.
Ming Yuelin's mouth gaped in shock 'This is.. holy energy.'
Xue Hua's gaze squinted in confusion 'This is definitely holy energy... but why do I feel comfortable. As a demon, I should be repulsive against holy energy...'
Zhang Yuan smiled faintly, the golden glow reflecting in his eyes. "Holy energy is not exclusive to the Yu Hong Holy Land. It's a power that can be wielded by anyone who has deep faith in the divine."
"The Yu Hong holy land simply worships the Goddess of Life, and through that belief and devotion, they channel holy energy. But it doesn't belong to them alone."
Long Xian snapped out of his shock and hurriedly asked "T-Then Master Yuan can surely.. h-help my daughter, right? with your holy energy."
With a nod, Zhang Yuan replied "It will be useful to heal her... but the most important thing right now is strengthening her physique enough to withstand the demonic blood."
"We can't completely remove the demonic blood from her body and inject human blood."
"But we can make her body adapt to the Demonic energy.. so it won't be corrosive to her."
Long Xian listened intently, hanging on every word "Yes, yes.. as you say.. I just want my daughter to be healthy and alive."
Zhang Yuan smiled faintly "Let her rest for today... and tomorrow, I can also start gathering the things needed for her dication."
With a nod, Long Xian humbly bowed his head "Yes, Master Yuan... we can do as you say. And, Master Yuan.. I have a request for you..."
Zhang Yuan raised an eyebrow and spoke "Tell ..."
"I... want you to keep it a secret, that my daughter is actually a half-demon."
Zhang Yuan nodded his head and glanced at his disciples "Don't worry... my disciples will also be silent about this."
With a sigh, Long Xian responded "I am grateful..."
Zhang Yuan made his way to his disciples and patted Ming Yuelin's head "Then we are taking our leave..."
Long Xian hurriedly walked over to him "Then I shall escort you to your room..."
But Zhang Yuan shook his head "No.. need."
"O-Okay then..."
As the three of them left, the three servants standing outside slightly bowed their heads.
