CHAPTER 729: CHAPTER 729: ONE-FOURTH DEMON CLAN BLOODLINE

Of course, Scarlett Jennings also noticed Donovan Jennings next to her, but she firmly refused to admit that she was being partial.

She could only blame the golden light on Samuel Chalmers for being too dazzling.

With a calm expression, she also called out to the other party,

"Brother."

Then she asked him,

"Why are you here too? Have you seen mom?"

Although Scarlett Jennings soon fell into a deep sleep after returning from the Otherworld, she noticed before losing consciousness that both Donovan and Luca Jennings were present.

When Donovan heard her naturally mention mom, he knew she didn’t have any barriers concerning their mother, so he smiled and said,

"We did, she’s with the villagers."

He paused, then added, "Dad is with her too."

To be precise, during the day Scarlett was asleep, Luca Jennings hadn’t been apart from Magnolia Hearne.

No matter where she went, he would follow.

Even in the middle of the night, Luca would suddenly wake up, making sure his wife was still lying beside him, only then would he hold her hand and fall asleep again.

Frankly speaking, Donovan hadn’t seen his father so alive in a long time.

Although he always appeared steady on the outside, as his son, he could still feel the intense yet restrained attachment in his heart.

Because he felt the same way.

As they were speaking, the moment Scarlett woke up, Magnolia and Luca were the first to come into the room.

She touched Scarlett’s forehead, sensing her rapidly settling demonic power, and couldn’t help but be slightly surprised.

However, upon thinking about it, with Samuel staying by her side all along, it was understandable.

For Donovan and Luca, what unsettled them more than their wife/mother being a Half-Demon was that Scarlett had also inherited a quarter of demon clan bloodline, and had already awakened.

"When I married Luca back then, I deliberately used magic to seal my demonic power. Considering that a child born from a half-demon and a human only has a fifty percent chance of inheriting demon lineage..."

Magnolia’s words explained to both Scarlett and Donovan,

"Since Donovan was born as a complete human, I thought you would be too..."

But when the Ghost Fog Organization came looking, she knew Scarlett was not the same as Donovan.

Donovan didn’t feel too much about being a human, neither grateful nor disappointed.

If there was any regret, it was probably that if he too could inherit demon lineage like Scarlett, he might be able to protect her just as she protects them.

After awakening her demonic power, Scarlett vaguely knew she might be like her mother. So she wasn’t surprised, instead, she asked about Jasmine Hamilton,

"Jasmine, will she never return?"

At the mention of Jasmine, Magnolia also fell silent, a rare occurrence.

Although she was forced to escape by the Heavenly Dao of the Otherworld at the time, Jasmine did indeed stay in the Otherworld in her place.

She owed her twice.

And might never have the chance to repay her.

Scarlett said, "We owe her."

Not just Magnolia, but all four in the Jennings Family owed Jasmine.

"Her mother..."

After borrowing Jasmine’s body for two years, Magnolia knew Jasmine’s only concern was probably the human mother who once abandoned her.

She thought of looking for her later, just about to speak, when Scarlett’s phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the unfamiliar caller ID, she picked up nonchalantly, only to hear the voice of Aaron Hearne.

"Get Magnolia Hearne on the phone."

Clearly, he already knew of Magnolia’s return.

Scarlett didn’t respond immediately but looked at Magnolia, "Cassian is looking for you."

She directly omitted his name.

But Magnolia obviously knew who it was. Thinking about Jasmine’s matter, she almost instantly said,

"Don’t answer! Hang up on him!"

Even though Jasmine said she volunteered to stay behind in her place, without Aaron’s proposal, Jasmine couldn’t have made such a decision.

Right now, she didn’t really want to hear his voice.

Upon hearing this, Scarlett obediently hung up and manually blocked the number.

It seemed Aaron, anticipating this, remained expressionless.

He knew with her personality, she wouldn’t agree with his approach, but... upon hearing her defiant words earlier, a subtle smile formed on Aaron’s lips.

After all, she was back, wasn’t she?

He didn’t try calling again, instead he opened the Spiritual Affairs APP, inquiring about Scarlett’s condition.

The fox fires within the clan lit up simultaneously, indicating that his little niece had awakened the demon bloodline too,

[I know you’ve awakened your demonic power, find a time to meet me at the Mystic Regulation Office.]

After sending, it prompted—sending failed.

He had been blocked again.

Aaron: ...

After blocking the number, Scarlett also blocked the account [Mystic Regulation Office Staff No. 1] on the Spiritual Affairs APP, and only then did she put down her phone again.

At this moment, Stella Gibson finally received the message and hurried over, complaining loudly,

"You don’t know, I was clearly following you guys in at the time, but that passage! It was discriminating against me, it kicked me out again!

It’s really too much! Does it even have to limit flow to go to the Otherworld..."

As Stella complained loudly, Scarlett listened patiently before asking about Greta’s situation.

At the time, she was struck by Heavenly Thunder, and it was Greta who brought them back in time.

She knew with Greta’s physical toughness, it wouldn’t be fatal, seeing Stella lively as ever was proof Greta was unharmed, yet she couldn’t help worrying.

Bringing this up didn’t help however, it almost brought Stella to tears,

"Greta was blasted terribly! Not a single piece of good skin left, completely scorched! Luckily, I brought tribe secret corpse oil with me this trip, he’s already been cared for with it and should recover after a few days..."

Upon hearing he would recover, Scarlett was slightly relieved, also curious about how Stella was maintaining the Undying Bone, thinking of going over to see since she had slept a whole day, it was a chance to stretch her legs a bit.

Thus, under Stella’s guidance, Scarlett went to Greta’s room.

Saw lying there in the Phoebe coffin, entirely wrapped like a mummy, only a pair of eyes revealing Greta.

Scarlett: ...

A day’s absence, she almost thought he changed species.

However, Greta didn’t seem uncomfortable, though only a pair of eyes exposed, slowly blinked at her, a look of docility.

After chatting with Greta and Stella for a while, Scarlett finally left the room.

Going downstairs, she saw Samuel Chalmers waiting for her below.

As for Donovan and their parents, they didn’t follow again.

Scarlett walked towards Samuel, and naturally, he extended his hand, the two holding hands, slowly strolling along the cobblestone path, not going back, but wandering around the village road.

Standing beside Samuel, feeling the spiritual energy in his palm, Scarlett suddenly somewhat understood why the little spirit infants wanted to cling to Samuel before.

After awakening her demonic power, sensing the pure spiritual energy around him, Scarlett felt all the pores in her body relaxing.

Unable to resist, she looked at the person beside her, and after a good while, asked,

"Samuel, I’m not human, do you mind?"

Although he never showed anything out of the ordinary, she couldn’t help but want to ask.

Samuel seemed unsurprised by the question, halted his steps, turned his head, his deep eyes looking at her.

Instead of answering her question, he softly countered,

"If I weren’t human... would you mind?"
