Dongfang Qingcang asked his father whether, if given another chance, he would still make the same choice. The old Moon Supreme hesitated for a long time before finally giving a definite answer. Dongfang Qingcang may have already anticipated it, but hearing it still filled him with disappointment. Tears welled up in the old Moon Supreme’s eyes. He wanted to explain, but realized that nothing could be undone.

Back when the Chidi Women led an army to attack and many Moon Tribe territories fell one after another, he wanted to be a good father—but he couldn’t abandon the people of Cangyan Sea. In Dongfang Qingcang’s eyes, he was merely a tool his father used to resist the Immortal Realm. His father could have killed him but instead made him wish for death.

The truth was, the old Moon Supreme also felt reluctant and heartbroken, so he chose to let his son kill him. But he seemed to forget that Dongfang Qingcang would also feel sorrow. The old Moon Supreme knew that emotional ties were difficult to sever. Even after countless deaths and resurrections, it would take a millennium to truly cut them off. But outside of secret techniques, if one could kill their closest kin, the emotional ties would be severed instantly.

That was why, on that day, he let Dongfang Qingcang kill him. Now, with Dongfang Qingcang’s emotional root partially restored, he faced a choice—become an invincible Moon Supreme and lead the Moon Tribe back to glory, or let all the pain he had endured be in vain. If he continued to sink into love, he would remain trapped in endless pain.

The old Moon Supreme hoped Dongfang Qingcang would choose the former—just like before, kill him and cut off all emotion. But Dongfang Qingcang couldn’t do it. These days, Dongfang Qingcang had been constantly dreaming of the joyful times he had spent with his father. So even if he had to endure the pain of patricide, he wanted to remember those feelings.

The old Moon Supreme placed down the wooden ball and kicked it to Dongfang Qingcang, just like in the past. The Burning Rhinos Flower was nearly consumed, yet Dongfang Qingcang still didn’t move. Not until the flower turned to ash did he react, but by then, his father had already faded away. Xun Feng had only endured half of the thunder punishment and was already near collapse.

Dongfang Qingcang suddenly stood up and took the rest of the punishment in his place. Orchid wanted to stop him but knew that his mind was made up. After the punishment, blood trickled from the corner of Dongfang Qingcang’s mouth. But Xun Feng thought Dongfang Qingcang was just putting on a show and still vowed to take revenge. Orchid defended Dongfang Qingcang, scolding Xun Feng for never trying to understand the truth despite being his brother.

As she spoke, she left the artifact that held the truth behind and supported Dongfang Qingcang back home. Just as she was about to feed him medicine, Dongfang Qingcang suddenly disappeared. Orchid found him in the old Moon Supreme’s sleeping palace, looking lost and shattered. The once arrogant great demon was now clutching a small wooden ball, sobbing uncontrollably. Orchid slowly approached and held him tightly.

These past few days, Dongfang Qingcang had stayed in bed, relying on Orchid for everything. But when Xun Feng came, he suddenly perked up and hurried to tidy himself. This time, Xun Feng greeted him sincerely and expressed genuine concern for his injuries. He shared the recent meeting with the Lord of Haishi and sincerely admitted his faults.

After observing them for days, Orchid could tell that Xun Feng truly cared about Dongfang Qingcang, and Dongfang Qingcang cared about this younger brother too. He just didn’t know how to express it. Orchid told Dongfang Qingcang that the next time he saw Xun Feng, he shouldn’t keep a straight face and should try to smile. Then she asked him to try smiling. After several awkward attempts, Dongfang Qingcang finally managed a forced, stiff smile.

Orchid couldn’t help laughing at his exaggerated expression. Helpless, she reached out to adjust his face, finally seeing a pleasant smile. Still not satisfied, Orchid thought they should be even more affectionate, considering they were blood brothers—maybe try hugging. As she spoke, she opened her arms and lunged forward to show him how to hug. The two of them were suddenly very close, and the air was filled with a tender, ambiguous atmosphere.

That day, Xun Feng came to discuss lifting the seal on the one hundred thousand soldiers. Dongfang Qingcang kept a stern face, seemingly forgetting Orchid’s earlier advice. Just as Xun Feng was about to leave, Dongfang Qingcang suddenly called out to him and opened his arms for a hug. But as his hands were raised, he felt awkward and instead just patted Xun Feng’s shoulder, reminding him to be careful.

According to Moon Tribe custom, to show gratitude, one must smear their own blood on the other’s face. Dongfang Qingcang knew Orchid feared blood, so he used cinnabar instead.
