Sovereign of the Three Realms - Chapter 1955

Chapter 1955: 1955

"What, you won't admit to it?" An Yu'er pretended to be upset, stomping with playful force upon Yan Qianfan's foot .

Her husband smiled wryly . "Yu'er, they're Huang'er's grandfather and cousin no matter what . Qingsang was just a twerpy little child when all that happened . What could he possibly have known or done? Do you hate him too?"

Huang'er looked pleadingly at her mother in response to this . She clung softly to the lady’s arm .

"Mom, no matter what House Yan did wrong, my maternal grandfather has repaid them back ten times over for it . My paternal grandfather… hasn’t been well these years . He’s remorseful and contrite about his choices to this day . He failed to protect his own son and granddaughter, right? But he also ended up breaking with the rest of the house for my sake, just so I could be together with Brother Chen . The house patriarch even made attempts on his life . . . "

Huang'er felt that there'd been enough retribution . She didn’t want her mother to be mired in hatred any longer, nor did she want a gulf between half her family and the rest .

An Yu'er had accumulated considerable anger over the years, but her daughter's helpless gaze caused it to melt away entirely .  

Had she suffered more than her daughter?

She had chosen her path alongside Yan Qianfan's, sharing in his every ordeal and plight . But her daughter hadn't had that luxury . She’d been cursed for misfortune from birth .

In a way, Huang'er had endured more severe misery than she . Though An Yu’er suffered a great deal, her husband had always been together with her through thick and thin .

On the other hand, her daughter had been separated from them since birth and had been bullied and tormented besides . If Huang'er could forgive her grandfather despite these circumstances, what did she as a mother have to complain about?

An Yu'er sighed softly, meeting Huang'er in a firm embrace .

"I’m sorry, dear . It was my fault for not letting go . I need to learn from your compassion and willingness to forgive . I promise you that I won’t mention it again . I don’t want your father to be too troubled over it either . ”

“That’s wonderful, mom . ” Huang’er was very happy . “I knew you wouldn’t be stuck on that for too long . After all, you stayed with dad despite all the difficulties you went through, right?

An Yu’er was in an even better mood when she heard her daughter’s praise .

She glanced at her nearby husband, who was glad despite his reddened eyes . Her heart ached slightly, she didn’t want him to be stuck in his own predicament .

“That’s the end of that, Qianfan . I’ll tell my father in a bit, and we can visit your father with our daughter soon, perhaps . ”

Yan Qianfan rejoiced at his wife’s new attitude . He was blessed to have a wife that was so virtuous and a daughter that was so understanding .

In truth, Divine Kasyapa had already perceived all that had happened here .

He wasn’t opposed to the resolution of the issues in his daughter’s heart . No one consumed by their hatred could possibly be content . It wasn’t a bad thing for her to overcome her past grievances in this way . If she did not, they would strain her relationships with both her husband and her daughter .

Moreover, though House Yan had invited punishment upon itself, it was as his granddaughter had said: they had received retribution ten times over . Despite that being the case, the god found her leniency astonishing .

Perhaps her receptivity to new things was what had allowed her to pick out someone like Jiang Chen from the crowd?

Yan Qianfan saw Divine Kasyapa in front of them . “Yu’er,” he muttered, “father-in-law is right there . Shall we go speak to him? Why do we stand around blankly here?”

“Sure!” The family of three went to greet Kasyapa together .

The divine was cool as he waved a hand . “We’re family . There’s no need to be so formal . Yu’er, your daughter is quite remarkable . A child like this may yet render the tribulations of your union worthwhile . ”

An Yu’er was happier to hear her father compliment her daughter than to hear one herself .

“I’d always thought I had a bad time of it,” she replied cheerfully, “but now I see that I have an incredibly accomplished father, a considerate husband, and an excellent daughter – as well as a son-in-law who’s every bit her equal . ”

“Indeed . Your son-in-law is really something else . ” Divine Kasyapa wasn’t stingy with the praise . “Given sufficient time, he could very well surpass me . ”

“Huh?” In An Yu’er’s heart, her father was the strongest in all the world, but that same man had just said that her son-in-law could eclipse him someday . She was incredulous at this claim . She knew Jiang Chen was very competent, but hadn’t expected him to be more gifted than her father .

Her father was a powerful divine, after all .

Empyrean experts were rather common in Myriad Abyss in general, and the Boundless Prison specifically . However, godhood was an opportunity that less than one in ten thousand had the chance to take .

It couldn’t be sought out, only obtained via happenstance .

She and her husband, for example: Divine Kasyapa had already declared it largely impossible for them after their ordeal . At least, the god admitted that he couldn’t offer them such .

However, her father had also said that their daughter – Huang’er – did have the potential and destiny .

“Father, does Huang’er really have it in her fate to achieve godhood?” asked An Yu’er .

“Yes . The probability for her to do so is very large . ” Having become a god himself, Divine Kasyapa had the rudimentary ability to see into the future . This was the basis for his statement . He could very well use his own strength to guide her onto the path, if nothing else .

Husband and wife were overjoyed . “Huang’er, do you hear what your grandfather has said?” An Yu’er beamed . “You will be a goddess someday!”

Huang’er already knew this . “I just want everything to happen naturally, mom,” she smiled and inclined her head . “Right now, I only want our family to remain happily together . ”

“Of course . We won’t ever separate from now on . ” An Yu’er nodded as much as she could to affirm this .
