Chapter 332 : Hello, Babies (3)

[Please rest assured, Crown Prince. I will not let your sacrifice go to waste. I will personally watch over your children, and make sure that they grow up well during your absence.]

A weak smile laced Xie Jianyu's lips.

"Yes," he said. "I hope so..."

Xie Jianyu wiped the tears off his face.

"My husband," he suddenly recalled Zhang Fengxi. "Is he well?"

[The fight in Wuyang Palace has yet to conclude,] the Goddess remarked. [Probably soon.]

"Will I be able to see him one last time?"

[...]

As the Goddess' silence stretched into an eternity, Xie Jianyu's heart sank, a wave of resignation washing over him like the relentless tide of the sea.

"It's fine. It is fate."

He had been hoping to hold his precious children together with Zhang Fengxi one last time, but even the tiny wish had been cruelly shattered, dashed against the unforgiving rocks of reality.
