Back For My Daughter

By the edge of the Lake of Pridid.

Ye Qian was completely naked with his lean but muscular body glistening in the light of the wisps of fire that would spring up every now and then.

"TWEET TWEET"

As Ye Qian was about to raise his leg to go within the lake he heard a soft cry.

Ye Qian turned around to see that the small sparrow was running to him on her tiny legs while crying.

The small bird had tears in her eyes as she rushed to Ye Qian.

She stopped right in front of Ye Qian while looking at him with her bead-like eyes like a crying puppy.

"SIGH"

Ye Qian sighed as he squatted to her.

The small sparrow jumped on his finger and shook her head fiercely as she pointed her small wings at the lake.

As if telling Ye Qian as to not go into it.

Ye Qian was really touched by her gesture, she cared for him even though they had just met now.

Ye Qian really didn't know how he should say it to this small sparrow.

She was just too pure-hearted just like his little daughters.

Finally, Ye Qian shook his head with another sigh and said while pointing at the lake.

"I have to go through it, or how will I have the power?"

The small sparrow looked dejected with her head low.

Finally, a small tear of fire fell on Ye Qian's finger.

It was likely that the little thing was crying while thinking of what would happen to Ye Qian after he entered the Lake of Pridid.

She had seen people come here but none were ever able to go to the centre of the lake much less to the other shore of it.

But she felt that this man who she saw this time was definitely not like others.

He had a pure heart and even cared for it, and that was why she didn't want Ye Qian to go through the Lake of Pridid.

She would definitely feel sad if something were to happen to this man.

Ye Qian felt touched while noticing that the small sparrow was crying for him while stopping him to go through the lake.

Meanwhile, on the Throne.

The figure of God sat with its head resting on his hand.

If one were to see its face then they would see that his brows were raised high while there was a shocked expression on his face.

'This boy seems that he would be able to pass the trial.'

He thought as a smile appeared on his lips.

Ye Qian sighed again while he placed the bird on the ground, he knew why the bird didn't fly to him.

The reason was due to the flames, she was unable to fly, but still, she ran to him to stop him.

Ye Qian lightly tapped her beak and said with a smile.

"Wait here, I will come in just a while."

The little bird nodded but still had tears in her eyes as she continued to stare at him.

Ye Qian turned his back to her and continued to walk while taking his steps at a fast pace towards the Lake of Pridid.

The lake was still about a few hundred meters away from him but still, he could feel the searing heat that would burn anyone who would try to get close to it.

But since Ye Qian already had the fire of Pridid with him so he still had some resistance against the tormenting fire.

"Arrrggghhhh."

"Don't come here if you don't want to die."

"This is a fate worse than death, you will be burned till eternity."

Meanwhile, as Ye Qian continued to walk to the shore of the lake many wisps of flames formed into human-like figures while wailing and asking him to return.

Ye Qian quickly understood what were these.

They were likely to be the ones who wanted to pass the trial of Pridid but had been corrupted and so were trapped into the Pririd itself.

Now he understood what no one was ever able to enter the cycle of life again after they died with the Fire of Pridid.

They were completely forbidden to by the Pridid itself.

But this was not the same for the men who had been devoured by the Pridid Fire Serpent.

The men who were burned by the Pridid Fire Beasts were converted into nothingness and so there was no way one would be able to go back to the Cycle of Life and Death again after being consumed by the Beasts.

But that was not the same for the Lake of Pridid.

These men who had come here were already attached to the Pridid itself so they would never be able to die but nor would they be even able to live if they were burned in the Lake of Pridid.

Ye Qian ignored those pleas and wailings as he continued to step towards the lake.

As soon as he left the area from behind the wisps of human-like figures vanished back into the lake.

Now the place was completely still as if there was nothing before that had happened.

Even the usual wisps of flames were now less than compared to what Ye Qian had seen when he was going in.

Meanwhile, on the throne, the God figure had a smile on his face.

"So you passed half of it."

The small sparrow glanced at the figure on the throne with fear in her eyes.

It could be seen that there was something not right here.

Though there seemed to be so many wailings and crying that Ye Qian had heard so far the small sparrow had only seen no more than about 10 or so people who had ever been able to come in this place.

It was clear that this was also a test that was not pointed out by the figure made of fire.

The small sparrow sat down with its wings open while it saw Ye Qian's back as he entered the last layer of wisps after which she could not see him.
