Meiyi's father left, but not before setting up a formation and personally checking if there were traces of his Illusive Ethereal bloodline inside her body.
He got a bit of relief after noticing she didn't have that bloodline on her. However, he was totally wrong.
It wasn't that she didn't have it, but that it was asleep. With time and some stimulation, it would wake up in the far future.
A certain day, he left. He "cowardly" abandoned them and vanished, leaving his wife heartbroken and a clueless child behind. However, the one that cried the most, tears of pure sadness and despair, was Chun Donghai himself.
In this world, people who would rather have a normal family over status and power were few. Donghai was one of those people, yet he couldn't have that. He was denied the thing most normal people could have easily.
