"You...you want to break up with me, why?"
The blonde woman stood helplessly in front of the man.
"I... I admit, I've been so engrossed in that theory that I've neglected you. But... but it doesn't have to end like this. Besides, we're married now. Where are you going?"
The man sighed softly, turned to look at the blonde woman, and said as if he had expected it, "I think separating is a good choice for both of us."
"Why!?"
“I am a demonic cultivator, while you are a cultivator bestowed by the royal family and the world’s number one weapon refiner. Whether in terms of status or position, there is a huge difference between us.”
"But, but wasn't it you who made me do this in the first place? I, I just wanted to make you happy, so that there would be no obstacles for us to be together."
"Obstacles have always existed."
The man spoke coldly, pointing to his chest: "Right here."
"I... I don't understand, so why has this happened in my life?"
“My demonic cultivation method requires the other party to give up everything, from spiritual roots to cultivation level. I have already embarked on such a path of cultivation, while you are obsessed with weapon crafting and it is impossible for you to give up so much for me.”
The man's voice wasn't loud, but it struck the blonde woman like a hammer blow: "Besides, you only love the weapon-forging ideas I gave you, not me as a person."
"No, that's not how it is!"
The blonde woman spoke loudly, grabbed the man, and threw herself into his arms.
"I... I admit that in the beginning, when we first started communicating, I did have the intention of using you. I also admit that I looked down on you back then. But... but now I've fallen in love with you, and that's true. Do you really want me to lay my heart bare before you're satisfied?"
The man fell silent.
The blonde woman still stared at him expectantly, her body blocking the doorway, pleading for an answer from him.
"Does it really have to be this way? Our being together is just a tragic fate."
"I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen! All I know is that I will be happy with you, that's all!"
"If we are destined to be separated one day, will you still stay with me?"
"Why? Pingsheng, are you hiding something from me?"
"..."
"Your life?"
"Nothing, I was just thinking about something else."
The man suddenly changed his expression, laughed, and stepped forward to hug the blonde woman.
"If this will make you happy, then let's be together first."
The blonde woman closed her eyes and gave a soft "hmm".
After a while, the two separated. The blonde woman, still unwilling to give up, asked, "Ping Sheng, what exactly happened? Can you tell me?"
The man remained silent for a long time, then sighed and said:
"My cultivation method doesn't actually make the other person give up. On the contrary, it relies on devouring a woman's spiritual root to improve. The purer the woman, the better the effect of devouring. That's why I resolutely refused to touch you on the night of our marriage."
Under the blonde woman's stunned gaze, the man spoke slowly and deliberately: "When we met, you used my ingenious ideas to forge weapons, but didn't I also use them to get closer to you? However, I found that I had also fallen in love with you, and I couldn't bear to use your spiritual root to complete my cultivation path. Xiao Jia, you love life so much, you love for forging weapons, I have no reason to take everything away from you, including your life."
"You, you..." The blonde woman was stunned, stammering and unable to speak, "You, you didn't tell me about this, you only told me that you needed my spiritual root and cultivation to help you cultivate..."
"Yes, but because I've fallen in love with you, that's all, so I don't need it anymore."
“In that case, there’s no need for us to separate,” the blonde woman asked. “Why… why…”
"If I don't devour the woman's spiritual root, I will die."
The man smiled helplessly: "Because, I am a demonic cultivator."
The blonde woman opened her mouth, making babbling noises, but couldn't utter a word.
Her heart was in turmoil, but in the end, she calmed down and hugged the man again.
"If that's the case, then I'll help you."
She said firmly:
"Just like you helped me before, I will help you in the future."
Chapter 322 First Day of Living Together
"what are you doing?"
The sound from behind startled Yang Luo, causing her hand to slip and the jade plate to fall to the ground.
Shi Guijia watched quietly. The little thing shrank back in fear, looking pitiful as if it had been caught.
"Don't look at me like that, as if I'm bullying you."
She crouched down, picked up the jade plate, and a glimmer of light appeared in her usually calm eyes, but it quickly dimmed again.
"You saw that, didn't you?"
"Yes, I'm sorry, Mother, I..."
"Don't be so nervous, it's not a big deal if you see it."
She yawned, tossed the jade plate into the storage room, and then closed the door.
"Shouldn't we be going to school by now?"
"Hmm..." He seemed hesitant to speak.
"I see..."
Neither the mother nor the daughter spoke.
For Shi Guijia, the little one is, after all, her daughter, but she really has no idea how to get along with her.
She didn't mind the child rummaging through her things, but she seemed to consider it a mistake, remaining silent as she walked back with Shi Guijia.
This makes it seem like I'm bullying her. Shi Guijia touched her nose and asked, "Are you interested in weapon crafting?"
Like a candle being lit, Yang Luo suddenly looked up, her eyes shining, and nodded vigorously: "Yes!!"
"...Is that so?"
Refining weapons...
She recalled many things. The former number one weapon refiner in the world naturally had many works, but she never took this as her pride. After all, many of her creative inspirations came from that man.
The world's number one weapon refiner, ha... Shi Guijia laughed helplessly, it was nothing but a joke.
The mother and daughter returned to their room. They didn't talk much, and the conversation they managed to get started ended with Shi Guijia's silence. Yang Luo went to pack her things, and Shi Guijia wanted to go out to buy some wine, but after thinking about it, she decided against it.
"Hey, can you handle this by yourself?"
She called out to the inside.
"Mmm." Yang Luo poked her head out and nodded vigorously.
Since that's the case, then let's leave her be. Shi Guijia took the money and went out, figuring out where to buy breakfast.
She couldn't cook; she had absolutely no cooking experience.
"You should learn to cook once in a while, after all, you have children now." Shi Guiyan used to say this often, but she never did.
That was her saddest time. She was completely immersed in refining weapons, constantly researching and placing all her hopes on that so-called "miracle," but in the end, it was just an illusion.
After his failure, the once-renowned number one weapon refiner disappeared, and in his place came a drunkard.
I oscillate between clarity and unconsciousness, until even the passage of time becomes blurred, and I live in constant anxiety.
She knew that what she was doing was wrong. Her depravity would only make those who cared about her feel even more sorry for her. Not only was she suffering, but her younger sister, Shi Guiyan, must also be suffering.
He abandoned honor and responsibility, hiding alone in his house, keeping only his wine gourd for company.
Even so, Shi Guiyan still brought her child to see her.
One year old, two years old...
I don't know how much time has passed since that day.
The only thing that can make Shi Guijia feel the passage of time is the little one.
She grew from a kitten to a tiny kitten, and although she's still small in her eyes now, she's grown up nonetheless.
She became more and more beautiful. Her originally withered blue hair now stretched out and turned into a clear sea blue, like the bottom of clear water.
People in this country all have different hair colors. Shi Guijia is like that, and so is Yang Luoyi. Because of this, no one rejects her because of it.
What rejected her was something else entirely.
Just like Shi Guiyan told her yesterday, Yang Luoyi's reason for fighting was simply because others said she was a wild ghost.
Is this too cruel? Shi Guijia thought.
However, even so, she still didn't want to change. Shi Guiyan came to see her alone several times, and even when Yang Luoyi went to the school for the first time, Shi Guijia didn't react much.
Finally, perhaps unable to bear it any longer, Shi Guiyan came again.
However, this time it was just him alone.
"Sis, let's go for a walk together."
Shi Guijia thought she would bring Yang Luoyi along, but in reality, she came alone.
"...Where are you going?"
"You can go anywhere you want, whether it's the sunrise at Lingxue Peak, the wishing well at Shenlong Lake, or the spring water at Tianlin Mountain Villa."
"Aren't these places where couples go? Why are you pulling me along?"
"I want to go, will you come with me?"
"If you're in heat, go find a man. Don't come and ruin my life. It's normal that no one likes you because you're flat-chested."
Yang Pingsheng taught them the word "airport," and both sisters knew what it meant.
Naturally, Shi Guiyan got angry, called her an idiot, and punched her twice.
Shi Guijia did not retaliate. Of course, she knew what her younger sister meant. She wanted to take Yang Luoyi with them, with the ultimate goal of getting her out of this mess.
But can I really get through this?
