Chapter 988. Is it a tortured love? 17

"My mother used to have a lot to say about my not dating. She often said I was not thinking clearly, and even said that she herself had been a queen of the dating scene for years, but in the end, I was the only one still single. She would look at my brothers and say they all seemed silly, but deep down, they were actually quite smart."
"Each one of them has a wife now, the most amazing one is Ten-ge, you see he seems to be guarding the border, but that doesn't interfere with his love life at all... he has several wives. I remember there was another one in the Peacock Clan before, but later the Peacock Clan suffered a disaster, and that wife seemed to have been exiled."
"We are a matrilineal society here, that's true. But they are the nobility here after all, so they can marry several girls. Over the years, I have remained single. I really don't know why I have no interest in these things, you can say I have no interest in anything."
绛蕊说到这里叹了口气，看了看一脸懵的夕暖说道：
"Don't be surprised. I have also had a hard time... I never had much longing for love since I was young, and on top of that, the people I met were not outstanding, so I have been single all along... Now, I finally like someone, but he treats me like this... If Mother finds out, I'll really be done for."
"Mother will definitely mock me, and she will never trust me again in the future. Mother said... Emotions cannot be played with. If you don't want to play with others' feelings, don't let others play with yours. My current state is not being played with, although I know Er Gouzi didn't mean to play with me."
Yu Nuan nodded in agreement to Jiang Rui's request not to say anything, and the two of them opened the enchantment and returned to the Sky Kingdom.
As soon as they arrived, Yu Nuan was knocked down by a palm, and she didn't even realize what had happened...
Don't say she didn't react, Long Xing and Phoenix Inner Dan didn't react either, otherwise they wouldn't have let Xi Nuan fall so miserably.
Xi Nuan lay on the ground, clutching her chest, feeling a sharp pain in her chest, unable to move at all.
She knew who attacked her, it must be the Phoenix Queen...
The Phoenix Queen attempted to launch an attack but was intercepted by Jiang Rui, and a standoff between mother and daughter ensued.
"Mother, what are you doing? This incident was my doing, it has nothing to do with Xiran! Originally, it was Xiran who was escorting someone back, I was just mischievous at the time! Why are you so domineering and intent on hurting others?"
凤凰女王看自己的女儿和自己嗷嗷大喊，也是没了面旗子，生气的发生质问道：
“你自己的主意？你好端端的跑到别的世界做什么？你要做什么？你现在已经是金丹期了，如果你能好好的修炼，再往上升也不是多难的事儿。结果你竟让跑到别的世界里浪去了？你知不知道这样会影响你的修炼。”
Yu Wan realized that this incident was no longer related to her. She lay there motionless, feeling a slight pain in her abdomen and chest. The dragon form inside her dantian was beginning to stir, eager to come out and fight. Yu Wan knew that the dragon form was very powerful - it was Han Duos's masterpiece.
However, she had no intention of letting the dragon go out to fight. This was someone else's territory. If she ran over and fought with the boss of this territory, what kind of logic was that...
That's just asking for trouble.
Even if she can only fight to a draw, it's not worth it. If the Seventh Prince or Eighth Prince comes to help next, she will have no chance to retaliate.
At this point, lying down is the safest option. If she just lies there, she probably won't be in any danger.
The Phoenix Dan is actually angry, it even wants to come out and help Xi Nu to fight, but was persuaded by Xi Nu to go back.
Jiang Rui looked at the limp body of Xi Nu, angrily said to her own mother:
"Mother, everyone has their own destiny. You have been blocking the destiny of all of us. Do you know something that we don't? Or is it just to prevent us from surpassing you? I really don't understand what you are doing. You said this would make it hard for me to find a way to cultivate, okay..."
"I know, but isn't this my fate? I have lived here for tens of thousands of years, living in the environment you arranged for me. I haven't felt alive for a very long time. Do you know... it's not that I'm unhappy, but I don't know what happiness is anymore."
"Is it that not knowing anything is the foundation of cultivation? I feel like cultivation is experiencing the ways of the world but also not being part of it. Yet I know nothing, like a walking corpse. What's the point? Really... What's the point... You are truly selfish, really selfish."
"Look at what you have done, What did Xiuan do wrong that you hit her, you hit her like this, if you are not satisfied you can hit me, you hit me, so I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad anymore, just hit me."
The Phoenix Queen sighed, feeling weary for the first time. Her child truly understood her. Yes...
She had once glimpsed into her child's future, even if it was just for a moment. But in that moment, she saw clearly.
A bloody tone, each person with a painful expression on their face.
She remembers it all clearly.
And that's exactly why she has always restrained everyone, making everyone do things according to her own state of mind.
That way, things that shouldn't happen won't happen.
That's what she has been thinking all along, believing that everything will go according to her plan.
But now, her own daughter's words seem to indicate...
She couldn't manage everyone anymore, this feeling of powerlessness and panic really hasn't appeared for a long time.
What should she do...
Jiangrui, seeing her mother's expression not too good, comforted her softly:
"Mother... Mother... I think we can have a good talk about this, there's no need to hurt anyone."
The Phoenix Queen sighed and looked into the distance...
Yes.
Sometimes it is necessary to be more open-minded, rather than being stuck in these things. After being scolded by her own child like this, she felt that everything was clearer. She should also do what she should do.
"It is my own fault for being too controlling. I should have moved on to the next place to cultivate a long time ago. I have said everything I need to say today, and now I'm going to leave. It's your era now, do as you please, I won't interfere anymore."
Xiuan lay there without moving, just listening to the Phoenix Queen talk about the golden core stage.
The golden core stage is where one nurtures their inner core in the elixir field.
This inner core can assist in cultivation and also help in healing injuries.
Basically, as long as it can help with the Golden Pill, it's the life-saving help.
Very beneficial for human cultivation.
After the Elixir turns golden, you can go to the next country for cultivation.
The Golden Elixir stage is basically a battle with a bead.
Neidan is the elixir cultivated by oneself, while Waidan is the elixir produced with the help of external treasures.
