"I naturally trust them, but I'm still worried. After all, they're our own flesh and blood. You've never been a mother—you don't understand how we feel."
Bibi Dong shook her head and spoke softly.
Lu Yuan curled his lip. "I'm still their father. Could they exist without me?"
"You're all worrying too much. Our children aren't ordinary people. They lack neither intelligence nor talent for cultivation—they're far more capable than you think."
"Besides, which of the secret arts and Self-Created Soul Skills I know haven't I taught them without holding anything back?"
"Children have to grow up eventually. We can't watch over them for their entire lives, so let them make their own way. As parents, we should have faith in them."
"And didn't I say that the Five Elements Dragon Clan is in the lower realm? If they can't beat him, can't they call for help?"
"Although the Five Elements Dragon Clan won't help them deal with the Abyssal Sage King, they won't just stand by if the children are in danger. Relax."
Patting Bibi Dong on the shoulder, Lu Yuan spoke gently.
"Ah, I hope so." Bibi Dong sighed and gently leaned against Lu Yuan.
When children traveled a thousand miles, their mothers worried. Ever since Lu Yunxi and the others had gone to the lower realm, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Gu Yuena had not relaxed for even a moment.
Perhaps that was the difference between a father's love and a mother's love. Lu Yuan hoped more that they would become accomplished and capable of standing on their own, while Bibi Dong and the others asked for no such thing. They only wished for them to be safe and sound.
Yet no matter which kind it was, their love for them was equally profound.
