Chapter 1057: Chapter 857: Release Nan Feng

Nan Feng couldn’t help but ask him, "Tuoba Lie, what is going on with you? What are you trying to say? Isn’t it wartime? Why aren’t you on the battlefield, and instead coming to see me?"

Tuoba Lie gave a bitter smile. "It’s no use fighting anymore. Dajin, as well as Dazhou, are almost upon us. I have given up resisting. Now, they want me to hand you over, and then they will spare our royal family and let the royals live," he said.

Nan Feng suddenly became excited, "So, you want me to leave now? Tuoba Lie, does this mean I can escape from the Sea of Misery?"

"Escape from the Sea of Misery? Nan Feng, you would choose such words?" Tuoba Lie felt a pang of heartache, but seeing Nan Feng’s increasingly gaunt face, he held back his anger.

Nan Feng tried not to provoke him and simply asked, "So when do we leave?"

However, Tuoba Lie looked at the baby in Nan Feng’s arms. "But, I only want to let you go, I want to keep Xiaobao."

"No way!" reacted Nan Feng, clutching Xiaobao tightly, "If you leave her here, I won’t return to Dajin. Let the people of both nations kill your father and mother. Tuoba Lie, they have given you so much, would you really watch them die?"

"But I like this little one. She is your daughter, and looking at her feels like seeing you," Tuoba Lie bitterly smiled and said.

"That night, you almost killed her. Stop being insincere here Tuoba Lie. I would rather kill her myself than let her recognize a thief as her father," Nan Feng said coldly.

Tuoba Lie stared at the little one in Nan Feng’s arms for a long while before he finally gave in, "Alright then, take her with you, but can I hold her one last time?"

"No," Nan Feng was completely distrustful of him.

"Then let me look at her one more time," Tuoba Lie requested.

Nan Feng held Xiaobao very tightly, making sure Tuoba Lie couldn’t snatch her away, and then she permitted Tuoba Lie a glance.

Tuoba Lie looked at Xiaobao’s rosy cheeks; she was already asleep, but she shivered as he watched her, uncertain whether babies slept like that or if she was just scared.

Tuoba Lie couldn’t resist reaching out to touch Xiaobao, but Nan Feng quickly moved her away, "Tuoba Lie, your hands are stained with too much blood. Do not dirty her."

Tuoba Lie could not help but sneer, "My hands are covered in blood, is her real dad any different?"

"It’s different; her dad fought to protect his country, while you harm the innocent."

Taking a deep breath, Tuoba Lie then looked at Nan Feng again, "Enough, time’s up. Get ready and come out with me."

...

In the carriage, Tuoba Lie stared unblinkingly at Nan Feng, who simply held Xiaobao tightly and did not meet his gaze.

Tuoba Lie bitterly smiled again, "I never thought that I went to great lengths to take you back, only to end up in the downfall of my nation, and yet I still lose you in the end."

Nan Feng laughed sarcastically, "That proves you still have some conscience. You were willing to consider your father and mother, the people on the grasslands. If you had persisted alone, more innocent lives would have been lost because of you."

"Nan Feng, are you praising me?"

"Indeed," Nan Feng finally affirmed him.

"You praising me means that what I’ve done is right. Nan Feng, we really are fated adversaries, entwining through two lifetimes. Everyone talks about three lifetimes of fate, do you think there might be a next lifetime?"
