Fighting is broken, but the heroine script.

Chapter 1262 Domestic Violence
Seeing Xiao Se reveal such an expression, the two parents couldn't help but exchange a glance.

"I—I saw the scene of my father and mother fighting against the Devouring Spirit Saint King on the Dou Qi Continent."

"My father and mother's divine powers, known as the Dou Di Dharma Body, shattered, and the Devouring Spirit Saint King's demonic body began to melt under the strain. I did see that at that time."

“That Devouring Spirit Saint King… has the same face as me.”

Xiao Se couldn't help but take a deep breath, his emotions at that moment were hard to describe.

At this moment, Xiao Yan couldn't help but rub his temples, while Yao Wan turned her head away and let out a long sigh.

"……so?"

"So! So—is it true?"

A glimmer of hope flashed in the boy's eyes. After all, it was just a trap set by his inner demons. He wanted to find his parents to prove it because he didn't want to fall into the demon's trap.

If they can deny it with absolute certainty, then such absurd attempts to sow discord will naturally fall apart on their own.

Even if they don't want to tell me the truth, it doesn't matter; after all, it's completely understandable that they might have some difficulties.

However, what Xiao Se saw at this moment was that his parents' eyes no longer only held worry, but also seemed to have taken on a different color without him realizing it.

When he felt his father and mother's gazes, Xiao Se felt his throat go dry and an inexplicable fear welled up in his heart.

Xiao Yan felt that this was not a solution. Now that the topic had been brought up, he could not avoid it, otherwise it would only become a source of pressure for him.

Of course, a father doesn't want to see his son like this, but how should he bring it up?

How can we express the truth tactfully without being too hurtful?

Xiao Yan felt that the troubles he was facing at this moment far outweighed any powerful enemies he might face in the outside world.

Regardless of the circumstances, amidst this deathly silence, Xiao Yan knew that he couldn't delay any longer.

He could only cough lightly: "This matter dates back to when your mother and I were training in Zhongzhou—"

"But I want a more accurate answer."

The desolate voice was almost squeezed out of his throat.

Although he rarely shows any emotional fluctuations on a daily basis, it doesn't mean he's incapable of reading people's expressions, especially his closest family members, whose words and actions are all too familiar to him.

Seeing that Xiao Yan's words were interrupted at this moment, Yao Wan had no intention of caring about his feelings.

"it is true."

Xiao Yan suddenly turned around and tugged at Yao Wan's sleeve.

However, Yao Wan ignored her and instead looked directly into Xiao Se's slightly trembling eyes: "Is there any other problem?"

"So...so the demon who originally intended to destroy the Dou Qi Continent, with my face on him, fought my father and mother to the very last moment, is that right?"

"You can understand that."

Yao Wan replied indifferently.

"...So all along, for your mother, she has been the one who gave birth to the face of the greatest enemy of her life, and raised him day by day, right?"

Xiao Se took a deep breath, never expecting that he would have such a sad day.

"So, the reason for all of this is because of my face."

Xiao Se subconsciously touched his cheek.

He was certainly not without emotions; he could feel his father's love for him and his mother's estrangement from him.

He always felt that it might just be a clash of personalities between the two of them, or that his mother was not satisfied with him, which was why she acted this way.

Just didn't expect it.

—I didn't expect that.

"But if that's the case, why doesn't Mother want to say it?"

Xiao Se had lost the confidence to look directly at the woman with whom he shared blood, and his voice became increasingly choked with emotion.

"—If Mother says anything, it's just because of this face!" Xiao Se's five fingers suddenly turned into claws, burning with blue-purple flames.

"Desolate!"

Xiao Yan immediately waved his hand to stop Xiao Se.

Yao Wan also made a move, but her action was more direct than Xiao Yan's.

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound of a slap echoed in the hall. Xiao Se turned his head away, a bright red handprint remaining on his face.

Xiao Se's eyes widened slightly, clearly stunned by the blow.

Even scolding is a rare occurrence at home, but right now, Yao Wan slapped him without saying a word.

"Are you a little calmer now?"

Yao Wan's tone was as cold and disappointed as ever.

Xiao Yan grabbed Xiao Se's wrist and pulled him behind him, glaring angrily at Yao Wan: "What are you doing! Xiao Se did nothing wrong, why are you hitting the child!"

Shouldn't he be hit in his current state?

Yao Wan didn't care at all about Xiao Yan's protective behavior; rather, she knew all too well what Xiao Yan would do for his child.

What's more, it's her child.

But that doesn't stop you from doing it yourself.

"To get the worst answer he's been holding onto, he shoots the arrow first and then draws the target, without even asking for the full story. He'll ruin his reputation in no time. Has he done nothing wrong?!"

Xiao Yan was speechless, but after a moment he said, "The child is still young, and he didn't get to where he is today like we did. Can't we try to reason with him first?"

"He doesn't even listen to you, his father. What kind of reasoning can you expect him to listen to?"

Yao Wan's gaze passed over Xiao Yan's shoulder and landed on Xiao Se, who was clearly still not fully recovered.

"Once you calm down, go back and ask your father for the whole story. As for your face... that bastard Saint King certainly achieved his goal of disgusting people."

"If you don't listen, then get out of the Endless Fire Domain. Anyway, you're already a Saint-level person, so you can't be without a place to stay."

"I—I understand."

Xiao Se had never seen his mother react like this before, so he gently pulled away from his father's hand.

"I'm stepping down now, Father, Mother."

"Ah."

Yao Wan was too lazy to look at him anymore.

After Xiao Se left, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh.

"Wan'er... is it really necessary to go this far?"

“Every family needs someone who plays the bad cop. Aren’t you used to playing the good cop? Go back and explain things to him properly. As long as he’s not out of his mind, he won’t get stuck on this.”

Yao Wan replied indifferently.

“That’s not what I meant…it’s…”

Xiao Yan was both angry and helpless, so he could only wave his hand and pat his face in front of her.

Didn't I tell you this before?

Yao Wan said with a slight hesitation, "It's not just because of his face. As for his personality, I really can't stand it now."

"It's all my own doing. What I did yesterday is what I'm getting today. It's truly retribution."

After saying that, she gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"also--"
