Father [2]

She called him father not because she wanted him to accept her but because she has always called him father.

Although he said that she was not his daughter but in her heart, she still could not accept this fact. He was her father for the past eighteen years. How could she forget everything just because of a single sentence from him?

"Tell me!" She asked him sincerely.

She could see a broken man grieving at her feet.

Yun Xiao could not believe his ears. She was willing to listen to him. It was unreal!

She was so accepting even after facing humiliation and pain in her entire life.

He remembered that led everything to the point of no return.

"Biologically, I am not related to you but you can call me your grandfather. Your grandmother was my wife…"

Yun Xiao started his story. He told her that he was a spirit just like her father Feng Zhi that fell in love with a mortal. Unlike her mother, who is innocent and honest, his wife was a dark demoness that lived for her greed and fed on her jealousy.

He was also sent to the human world by their god to increase his wisdom just like her father and during that journey, he fell in love with his wife. He married her thinking she was also honest in her feelings. They were happy when he heard that his wife was pregnant.

Yun Xiao was so happy living the life of a mortal that he decided to leave the status of a Celestial spirit and live his life like a human form then on without telling his wife.

But when she knew that he has sacrificed his power and was now a normal human, she revealed her true colors. She turned her affections into hatred and without telling him she again remarried Zhen Hong Tian.

Zhen Xiu's real grandfather.

His ex-wife took his daughter away from him and told Zhen Hong Tian that Xing Yue, his daughter was his Zhen Hong Tian's daughter. She took his right away from him just like this.

Yun Xiao thought that if he went and told her new husband Zhen Hong Tian everything then he would get his daughter back but all his dreams shattered into pieces when his own ex-wife plotted against him and killed him without any thoughts. The woman he loved has mercilessly put a knife across his chest.

His mortal body died but because he was actually a celestial spirit, he turned into a dark spirit.

He turned into a dark spirit because the seed of hatred was born in his heart and turned his heart black.

If a celestial gave birth to hatred or any other negative emotion in their hearts, they would turn into dark spirits. It does not matter whether they were in the human form or spirit form. If any negative emotion birthed in their mind they will automatically turn into a dark spirit.

It was then that Yun Xiao decided to destroy his wife and fused his spirit into Zhen Hong Tian's body. His malicious ex-wife thought that everything ended with his death and started living happily with her new husband who was controlled by him. Eventually, he killed that poisonous woman too.

During this time he knew that Zhen Hong Tian was cheated by his wife into believing that Xing'er was his own daughter. Now he knew why Zhen Hong Tian married his ex-wife without wasting any time.

He was not interested in his wife and when Yun Xiao's ex-wife came to him, he was already wanting to start a new relationship in his life.

Zhen Hong Tian loved his Yun Xiao's daughter more than his biological daughter Ying Yue thinking that it was his own daughter. They both were step-sisters for him as Ying Yue was from his first wife. She was just four months younger than Xing Yue.

Zhen Hong Tian neglected his own daughter for an outsider. Albeit he didn't know the truth but he had clearly discriminated in both of their treatment.

Yun Xiao killed his wife and Ying Yue's mother was already dead at childbirth so Zhen Hong Tian was the only parent that both the girls had; the most important thing was Zhen Hong Tian treated Xing Yue well because according to him she was the daughter from his beloved second wife.

"I continued to control his mind to look after my daughter but when your father Feng Zoo killed my daughter because of you. I decided to kill you and used Zhen Hong Tian's body."

For Yun Xiao, it was a tooth for a tooth. His dark heart was urging him to kill the one-month-old Zhen Xiu on the spot.

"At that moment Feng Tian ultimately lifted your partial spirit state to protect you from my attack through Zhen Hong Tian's body. Hence your father was able to send you here."

Yun Xiao told her everything that happened during that night.

"I loved my daughter so in my impulsiveness and anger at her untimely death I attached my dark spirit to you. At that time, you were just a newborn baby so coming with you was not that difficult for me. I know what I did was wrong and it was not justified but as a father who lost his only daughter and a spirit controlled by darkness, it was justified for me at the moment."

Yun Xiao expressed his thoughts that he had deeply hidden in his heart for the past eighteen years.

Zhen Xiu was shocked to know so many details about her real father and family. She could not believe that her father was a celestial spirit.

It was a big shock that Yun Xiao dropped at her.

"You mean that my father is a celestial spirit and you were one too that followed me here when my father sent me here." The evil princess asked in disbelief.

"Yeah! I wanted to kill you when you came here but then changed my thoughts; I simply wanted to torture you because of my hatred. I did everything to hurt you. I know it was wrong but the darkness inside me was too strong and I had no idea about my depravity."

"Why didn't you kill me then?" she asked him.

It was hard for her to believe his logic and now she was confused about whether to kill him for all the misgivings or just let him go and make him suffer the pain of loneliness in the world.

She wanted to know his reasons. She felt bad for him but not entirely as she and her family were not at fault for what happened to him. They were deceived by his wife and not them. It was wrong to put the blame on them.

It was his own poisonous wife that broke two families and started all this killing spree.

She was sure that her daughter was also like her otherwise why would her father Feng Zhi kill her. This Yun Xiao was really pitiful but she was not a saint either.

She could not let him go just like this, unfortunately.

"Deep down I knew it was not your father's fault and could not bear to kill you." Yun Xiao laughed like crazy. "I know I sound like a hypocrite but I didn't want him to bear that pain of losing his only daughter completely, just like me. After eighteen years, he could meet with you again."

He was dispirited as he said these words. "Unlike me, who is all alone in this world."

His sad words echoed in the room.
