"Your mom?"
Bai Ye was slightly taken aback. Where would anyone's mother come from in the Forbidden Domain?
Others might not know what was inside the Forbidden Domain, but he knew all too well. White God was in there.
"It's true, Brother Ye!" Li You said excitedly. "I saw her—I saw her with my own eyes! My mom is in the Forbidden Domain! She said she was cold, that she was in pain, and told me to save her!"
Bai Ye's expression turned strange. If he hadn't just come out of the Forbidden Domain, he might have believed him.
Seeing that Bai Ye was still holding Sunburst aloft, Li You suddenly dropped to his knees with a thud.
"Brother Ye... everything I said is true. My mom... she really is in there. I have to save her!
Back then, she went to lure away the Mutant Wolves in order to protect me..."
By this point, Li You was already sobbing uncontrollably. His hand clutched tightly at the clothes over his heart, as though he were enduring indescribable pain.
"I clearly saw my mom's legs trembling. I saw the woodcutter's axe in her hand shaking too... but I... I just curled up in the corner of the cellar. I didn't even have the courage to call out to her!
I should have gone! I regret it so much! Why wasn't it me who went? Why was I afraid? Why was I such a coward!?
My mom gave birth to me and raised me. Ever since I was born, I never saw her eat a single full meal. She gave everything to me, yet I never did anything for her... I never did anything at all!!"
His despairing howl was filled with endless regret.
Those words seemed to drain all his strength.
