Fighting is broken, but the heroine script.

Chapter 1263 Adding fuel to the fire, do I look like that kind of person?

In the courtyard, Xiao Se sat by a clear spring, looking lost and dejected.

Just then, a pebble flew into the pool in front of him, but instead of falling directly into the water, it created a series of ripples.

Xiao Se looked up and saw the smiling young man weighing the pebble in his hand, saying, "Xiao Se, would you like to play?"

"……Father?"

"This is something I loved to play with when I was a kid. I haven't played with it in a long time, but it seems like I'm still pretty good at it."

Immediately, Xiao Se took the pebble from his father's hand and tried to imitate him, but the pebble slipped from his hand and fell into the water, leaving only a ripple.

"Does it still hurt? Your mother gets angry like this; she doesn't hold back when she hits you."

Xiao Yan threw out another pebble and couldn't help but ask.

"I'm fine. My mother never intended to do anything to me."

Xiao Se shook his head, feeling more disappointed than hurt by the slap.

"...Let's talk about things from the past."

"The Ruins of Oblivion is a small world created by the Eight Emperors in the past because they were unable to completely destroy the Devouring Spirit Saint King."

"Over a period of tens of thousands of years, that small world went through three cycles, each time becoming weaker than the last, until it gradually disappeared."

"With the demise of that small world, the demonic fetus of the Devouring Spirit Saint King will be completely destroyed, and will no longer have any influence on the Dou Qi Continent."

"...It was only because your parents wandered into that place that the demonic fetus escaped, causing the calamity on the Dou Qi Continent."

"Your mother and I tried to destroy that demonic fetus, but unfortunately we only destroyed half of it. And because of this, perhaps at that time, the demonic fetus was tainted by our aura. Out of a wicked sense of humor, when the Holy King was resurrected, the body he created grew into a face that was a mixture of our features."

Xiao Yan stepped forward, took his son's hand, and taught him to hold the pebble and throw it out through his hand.

With a series of splashing sounds, pebbles flew across the water's surface, leaving behind a series of faint ripples that gradually subsided in the gently rippling pool.

"We haven't publicized much about the Holy King. After all, it's perfectly normal for people to fear something that almost destroyed their own existence... including his face, of course."

"I have let my father and mother down."

Xiao Se lowered his head, but Xiao Yan was clearly not in a hurry to accept his reaction.

"Explaining the whole story is one thing, but it's not the same as how your parents treat you."

Xiao Yan slowly put down Xiao Se's hand and said seriously, "Your mother... she really wasn't a good mother to you, and I might not be a good father either. Your mother and I understand this, and we don't intend to make any excuses for it."

"Your mother was indeed indifferent to you in your younger years because of your face, but it wasn't just that."

Xiao Yan paused for a moment: "I have no intention of saying anything good about your mother to you right now. If you feel troubled or distressed because of this, you might as well think about it carefully yourself."

"The Endless Fire Domain is unlikely to be peaceful in the coming days. If you feel tired, it wouldn't hurt to go out and relax."

As Xiao Yan spoke, he patted him on the shoulder.

Xiao Se's eyes widened in surprise: "Father... is he trying to send me away?"

"Silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about? Your mother was just saying that in a fit of anger. Everyone gets angry sometimes. She just wanted you to go out and clear your head. You are very perceptive and sensitive. You can sense everything, but you just don't want to say it out loud. Of course, this is neither good nor bad, but don't keep yourself brooding."

Xiao Yan smiled and pinched his son's cheek.

Xiao Se didn't know how to answer. After pondering his words for a moment, he couldn't help but back down after hearing his father's exceptionally accurate assessment of him.

Seeing his slightly pursed lips, Xiao Yan's eyes flickered, but he did not intend to urge him.

After all, the nature of a problem that we already know is not important; what matters is how to answer this unchanging question.

This is truly a headache-inducing problem. "..."

Watching the father and son talking in the courtyard, the woman leaning against the door unconsciously took a deep breath.

"What are you doing sneaking around here?"

Xiao Xiao was talking to her younger brother right in front of her when her father's voice suddenly came from behind her, startling her so much that her hair stood on end. She quickly turned around and saw another Xiao Yan raising his index finger at her, signaling her to be quiet.

"Shhh."

"oh oh……"

"You've woken up? Looks like the fusion went well. You've finally reached the Heavenly Supreme level."

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Xiao and saw that her cultivation had improved, and she had at least gained some ability to protect herself. This finally put his current headaches at ease.

"...It's as if I've always been a source of worry for Dad."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but mutter something in response.

"Are you embarrassed to say that?"

In response, Xiao Yan simply ruffled her hair in exasperation.

Xiao Xiao seemed to wake from a dream, and nodded subconsciously, but couldn't help turning her head to look at the two people in the courtyard, and asked, "Father, what's wrong with you and my brother?"

"That's a long story."

Xiao Yan smiled wryly, and then briefly summarized the many things that had happened while she was still asleep.

"So in the end..."

Xiao Yan silently raised his hand and touched his face in front of Xiao Xiao, then shrugged.

"...How...is it because of this problem?"

The joy of having just escaped the dormant state caused by her bloodline and made significant progress in her cultivation was instantly and completely dispelled: "But my aunt wasn't like this when she was taking care of me before! Why does it always turn into this whenever something bleak happens—"

Xiao Xiao paused for a moment.

"So I'm still trying to talk him out of it, to prevent him from doing something rash."

"Leave this kind of thing to me; my brother listens to me—"

Xiao Xiao couldn't bear to see her silly younger brother looking so dejected. Just as she was about to leave, Xiao Yan, realizing something, grabbed her arm.

"……father?"

"It's best if you don't go up and add fuel to the fire right now."

Xiao Yan frowned slightly, and then couldn't help but speak up to warn him.

"Adding fuel to the fire? Do I look like that kind of person?"

"It's not that I'm saying you're that kind of person, it's just that the situation is too complicated right now, and even as the older sister, it's better for you to stay out of it."

Seeing that her father's tone was not joking, Xiao Xiao understood what he meant.

"...Isn't that blatant bullying?"

Xiao Xiao stood there helplessly, only able to mutter to herself.
