Chapter 141 Su Yuyao resolutely leaves Jiujiao Mountain

"My dear grandson!" The Mountain Goddess, who was squatting in the courtyard, called out to Su Yuyao in a hoarse voice.

"Hmm?" Su Yuyao looked up.

The Mountain Goddess beckoned to Su Yuyao, gesturing for her to sit down beside her.

Su Yuyao sighed, lowered her head, and sat cross-legged in front of the Mountain Goddess. "Mountain Goddess, I was wrong about what happened that day. I'm sorry, but I really don't know how to mend my finger..."

"Hahahaha..." The Mountain Goddess tapped Su Yuyao's nose with her new finger and said, "My dear grandson! Look!"

Su Yuyao looked at the Mountain Goddess's hand with slight surprise, "Grandma! Your finger has been repaired?! Who repaired it?!"

"Lord Xuanfeng!" the Mountain Goddess said with a smile, "He's the one who helped you accomplish this task; otherwise, you would have regretted it!"

Hearing Xuan Feng's name, Su Yuyao suddenly felt a pang of sadness. She truly didn't know how to face him.

"Look how well he did it!" The Mountain Goddess twirled her new finger in front of Su Yuyao's eyes.

"It's fine..." Su Yuyao forced a smile, pointing to the scar at the base of her finger, "It's just... this scar doesn't look very nice..."

"Oh?" The Mountain Goddess nodded, looking at the spot Su Yuyao pointed to. "It does look a bit unsightly... Lord Xuanfeng, would you mind fixing it again?"

"Where does it need repair?" Xuanfeng's breath brushed against Su Yuyao's ear. "Girl, point it out to me!"

Su Yuyao sensed Xuanfeng's gentle aura and smelled the familiar grape scent in his breath. Her heart pounded wildly, leaping from her heart to her throat.

"Little girl," Xuanfeng wrapped his arms around Su Yuyao and gently lifted her hand, "point to me!"

Su Yuyao blankly placed her finger on the scar on the Mountain Goddess's body, "Here..."

“Okay, how do you want it fixed?” Xuanfeng asked gently.

“I…don’t know…” Su Yuyao shook her head.

Xuanfeng placed Su Yuyao's hand in his palm, then placed the Mountain Goddess's fingers on Su Yuyao's hand, and finally wrapped Su Yuyao's hand and the Mountain Goddess's fingers tightly in his palm.

Su Yuyao finally lost control of herself. She turned to look at Xuan Feng and met his burning gaze.

"Let's think about how to fix it," Xuanfeng said softly, his eyes full of love. "What does the little girl like? Chicken legs? Then let's shape her fingers into chicken legs?"

Su Yuyao chuckled.

"Pig's trotters?"

Su Yuyao giggled.

"How about... you turn it into a steamed bun?"

Su Yuyao burst out laughing.

"Girl, tell me, what do you want to cultivate?" Xuanfeng asked softly, looking at Su Yuyao's chubby smiling face.

Su Yuyao looked into Xuanfeng's azure eyes, and saw her own bright smile reflected in them. Suddenly, a wave of bittersweet self-reproach welled up in her eyes.

Am I smiling at my enemy? Why am I so pathetic? Why did I fall in love with someone whose hands are stained with the blood of my loved ones? I'm so stupid! So incredibly foolish! How could I ask him to avenge me? I…

"Girl!" Xuan Feng felt guilty and remorseful seeing Su Yuyao's conflicted and struggling state. He tightened his arms and hugged Su Yuyao tightly. "It was my fault. Please give me a chance to make amends..."

Su Yuyao's vision blurred, and she asked, choking back tears, "Did you...give my parents a chance?"

Xuanfeng's heart trembled violently. He had killed so many people, but he had never felt such a heavy sense of guilt. He didn't know how to beg for forgiveness, because back then, he hadn't even considered giving his girl a chance...

Su Yuyao tried to pull her hand back, but Xuanfeng refused to let go.

"Let go..." Su Yuyao said, her heart breaking.

Xuanfeng didn't answer, but simply gripped Su Yuyao's hand tighter.

Su Yuyao sobbed softly, "I hate you... I hate you! You lied to me... you lied to me!"

“Girl…I…I’m sorry…” Xuanfeng couldn’t get Su Yuyao to forgive his selfishness at the time.

"You...you're despicable! You made me fall in love with you...you're so despicable!" Su Yuyao sobbed, "I don't want to see you, I really don't..."

“Girl…” Xuanfeng’s eyes reddened.

"Please, let me go..." Su Yuyao knew that she couldn't stop loving Xuanfeng whenever she saw him, but her love also burdened her with immense self-blame and guilt!

Su Yuyao was unable to handle this contradictory and complex emotion, so she could only choose to escape...

Xuanfeng looked at Su Yuyao, who was in pain in his arms, and his own heart was also tormented.

He slowly loosened his grip, wanting to gently stroke his maid, but Su Yuyao blocked him.

"How beautiful!" The mountain goddess seemed unconcerned about the two children's tragic love, and instead happily admired her own fingers.

She held her finger out in front of Su Yuyao, "My dear grandson, look!"

Through her glistening tears, Su Yuyao looked at the flower pattern on the Mountain Goddess's finger and nodded, "Beautiful..."

"Lord Xuanfeng, what kind of flower is this?"

“Pu’er… camellia…” Xuan Feng looked at Su Yuyao and replied softly.

“Pu'er camellia? Not bad…not bad…” The Mountain Goddess slowly stood up and called out towards Su Yuyao’s house, “Zhizhi! Mother is leaving!”

"Mother!" Langzhi rushed out of the house and threw herself onto the Mountain Goddess. "Mother...don't go..."

Qingyue led everyone out of the house, watching with a hint of joy as Langzhi bid farewell to the Mountain Goddess.

The Mountain Goddess stroked Langzhi's head, smiling lovingly, "My silly son! You are still blessed!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Qingyue, her wrinkles slowly smoothing out. "Tuanyue, you and Zhizhi have had so many years together, it must have been tough..."

Qingyue was very surprised by the sudden change in the attitude of the Mountain Goddess. The mother and daughter, who were always arguing, were now taking a more affectionate approach, leaving Qingyue at a loss for words.

“Tuan Yue… our Zhi Zhi has many flaws, but only you can control him!” The Mountain Goddess’s face, which was as wrinkled as withered wood, became smoother and smoother, her skin gradually turned whiter, and her voice began to become clear and bright, like that of a young girl, “Zhi Zhi, Mother is leaving, don’t be sad, we will meet again! Treat the people around you well…”

"Mother?" Langzhi watched as the Mountain Goddess grew younger and younger, and then vanished into nothingness. He reached out to embrace her, but could no longer hold his mother. "Mother! Mother! Don't go!"

The Mountain Goddess had transformed into a graceful young woman, and she spoke to Su Yuyao in a heavenly voice, "My dear grandson, there's honey candy on that stone table that I owe you. Go and eat it! Savor its taste..."

Su Yuyao stood up, clasped her hands in a fist and bowed to the figure that was about to turn into dust, "Thank you, Mountain Goddess!"

Pfft! Whoosh—!

In an instant, the figure of the Mountain Goddess transformed into countless bees and rushed towards Su Yuyao.

Everyone was shocked and quickly used their Qi to completely cover Su Yuyao.

The swarm of bees danced and hovered in the air like dragons, seemingly searching for someone. Everyone held their breath, afraid of disturbing the swarm. Unexpectedly, the swarm eventually hovered above Su Yuyao's head.

Su Yuyao raised her head and looked through the layers of Qi shield at the swarm of bees that the Mountain Goddess had transformed into. "Mountain Goddess, is there anything else you need?"

The swarm of bees gradually surged, like a wave rushing towards Su Yuyao beneath the Qi shield.

Seeing this, Xuanfeng hurriedly spread his palm slightly, and cicada wings were about to emerge. They listened to the clear sound of wind chimes, and the swarm of bees turned into pollen and drifted down towards Su Yuyao.

Su Yuyao looked up at the night. In the darkness, golden pollen was penetrating through layers of Qi, like a cool mist seeping into her skin, eyes, and mouth. It tasted so sweet…

"Girl?" Xuanfeng looked at Su Yuyao and asked softly, "How...are you feeling?"

"Huh?" Su Yuyao snapped out of her daze and looked at Xuan Feng. "I'm fine..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yuyao suddenly felt everything go black, and then she knew nothing more...

The morning sunlight streamed through the window and fell on Su Yuyao's fair face.

"Hmm..." Su Yuyao turned around, avoiding the scorching sun.

"Miss! Miss!" Bai Er couldn't hide her excitement and called out softly to Su Yuyao, "Are you awake?"

Su Yuyao, clutching the blanket, didn't even open her eyes, and asked with difficulty, "What are you doing..."

"Guess who's here?" Bai Er whispered in Su Yuyao's ear.

"Who is it?" Su Yuyao stretched and opened her eyes with difficulty.

"Hehe..." Bai Er blushed and smiled with her lips pursed.

"Ruixue is here?!" Su Yuyao guessed it was pretty much true just by looking at Bai Er's lovestruck expression.

"Yes! Ruixue is here!" Bai Er said with a smile, "And..."

"Ruixue really came?!" Before Bai Er could finish speaking, Su Yuyao jumped up and rushed out of the room.

For some reason, the morning sunlight wasn't intense, yet it made Su Yuyao feel somewhat dazzled.

"Miss Ningbao!" Ruixue in the courtyard has become even more mature and robust!

"Ruixue!" Su Yuyao happily rushed over, jumped up and hugged Ruixue's neck. Ruixue grinned and held Su Yuyao's waist, spinning her around and lifting her up.

"Hahahaha! Ruixue! You've gotten so much stronger! And you're much more powerful too!" Su Yuyao laughed heartily; she hadn't laughed so unrestrainedly in a long time.

"Miss Ningbao! You seem to have gained weight again!" Ruixue said with a laugh.

"Ruixue! You've come at just the right time! I want to go to the snow mountain! Take me there!" Su Yuyao shouted, hugging Ruixue's neck.

"You're going to the snow mountain?" Ruixue put Su Yuyao down and said with a smile, "Then you should tell Boss Sa and Madam Sa yourself!"

"Personally?" Su Yuyao tilted her head and looked at Ruixue in surprise. "Me, say it myself?"

Ruixue smiled and nodded.

"Wah—!" A baby's cry shook Su Yuyao's eardrums, and she turned around sharply to look at Qingyue's room.

"Ruixue! Is that a child crying?" Su Yuyao stared intently at Qingyue's door. "Is...my little brother here?"

Ruixue took Su Yuyao's hand and led her to Qingyue's door. "Miss Ningbao, please go and take a look!"

Su Yuyao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she rushed in excitedly, "Mom! Mom! Is it my little brother?!"

The room in Qingyue was filled with the rich scent of frankincense.

Mrs. Satya held a soft, cuddly baby in her arms, sitting on the bed with her chest half-exposed.

Qingyue looked at the baby in Madam Sa's arms with eyes full of affection.

The baby had stopped crying because his little mouth was sucking hard, trying to fill his little belly.

When Su Yuyao saw Madam Sa, her heart softened suddenly, and she rushed over, crying, "Mother!"

"Ningbao!" When Madam Sa saw Su Yuyao rushing over, she quickly opened her arms and excitedly hugged Su Yuyao, stroking her head repeatedly. "Ningbao, how are you doing? After receiving your reply last time, your father couldn't sit still! Your younger brother just turned one month old, and he came to see you without even having a full-month celebration!"

"Mother..." Su Yuyao nestled against Madam Sa's chest, inhaling the scent of her breast milk, and said sweetly, "I missed you all so much!"

Mrs. Sa's eyes welled up with tears as she tenderly stroked Su Yuyao's face. "Ningbao, you've suffered so much, haven't you?"

"Hmm?" Su Yuyao smiled and looked at Madam Sa. "Mother! I'm doing very well!"

"Your eyes can't lie to me!" Madam Sa looked into Su Yuyao's eyes and said, choking back tears, "Ningbao, come with your mother, let's go to the snow mountain! Your father has already set up a camp. Once you go to the snow mountain, you will be the leader of the Snow Mountain Wolf Clan. You won't have to be so careful anymore, you won't have to live under someone else's roof! From now on... no one will bully you anymore!"

Tears welled up in Su Yuyao's eyes, shattering her feigned smile. "Mother, I'll go with you..."

Su Yuyao leaned over Madam Sa's lap and wept bitterly. For so long, no one had seen her fear, her worries, her walking on thin ice, her contradictions, her love and hate, or her forced growth.

She didn't want to grow up or become sensible. She wanted to always be that unrestrained, willful, pampered, and fearless young lady!

However, she had to constantly hide her true feelings, constantly use her cunning, and constantly force herself to grow up quickly.

She lived such a tiring life that she forgot what she truly looked like.

Sadly, no one knew how unhappy she was...

“Mother…” Su Yuyao’s face was wet with tears. She looked up at the equally grieving Madam Sa and said resolutely, “I want to leave as soon as possible!”

Qingyue sat blankly to the side, staring at Su Yuyao. She couldn't understand why Yao'er, whom she loved so much, would want to leave her.

Su Yuyao lay on Madam Sa's lap and cried for a long time, until the baby in Madam Sa's arms, sucking on a dummy, began to look drowsy. Only then did Su Yuyao wipe away her tears and lift her head.

"Ningbao!" Madam Sa stroked Su Yuyao's face, "Once your father has spoken with Lord Xuanfeng, your mother will take you away!"

"Okay!" A glimmer of innocent light finally appeared in Su Yuyao's eyes.

Qingyue's heart trembled violently, shattering into pieces. She finally understood why Madam Sa could see Su Yuyao's hardships at a glance!

Her eyes! Yao'er's eyes!

It turned out that Yao'er's eyes were filled with exhaustion, and her usual sparkle had long been gone... How careless of me! I didn't even notice!

Looking at the drowsy baby in Madam Sa's arms, Su Yuyao asked softly, "Mother! What's your little brother's name?"

"Your father hasn't named it yet. He said it's up to you, its older sister, to choose a name!" Madam Sa gently rocked the baby in her arms. "Ningbao, think it over carefully and come up with a good name!"

"Huh?! You want me to name my little brother?!" Su Yuyao was pleasantly surprised. She rolled her eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "Then... Weiming!"

"Saweiming?" Mrs. Sa said with a smile, "Good! Good name!"

"Mom! My little brother is so cute!"

"Isn't it cute? It looks exactly like you!"

"Mom! My little brother smells so good!"

"All breastfed babies taste like this!"

"Mother! You smell even better!"

"What's so pleasant about it? It all smells like stinky milk!"

"I like the smell..."

Su Yuyao buried her head in Madam Sa's arms, greedily inhaling the scent of her mother from the depths of her memory.

Qingyue had been watching Su Yuyao, expecting her to throw herself into her arms. But to her surprise, Su Yuyao saw Madam Sa and completely forgot about her, her biological mother…

Qingyue slowly stood up, clutched her chest, staggered a bit, and walked outside.

Seeing this, Su'e quickly stepped forward to help her up, and said softly, "Your Highness, please don't worry. Madam Sa and Miss Yao'er haven't seen each other for many days, they must have a lot to talk about..."

Qingyue gripped Su'e's arm tightly, her eyes blurred with tears, and shook her head. "Su'e, my Yao'er... is leaving..."

"Your Majesty..."

Inside the main hall of the Vermilion Bird Hall, several men were arguing fiercely.

"Girl, you can't leave! I don't agree!"

"Lord Xuanfeng! The wolf clan camp in the Snow Mountain has been arranged and is waiting for Ningbao to take over as commander!"

"Give me a break! What do you mean by 'condensing treasure'?! There are no 'condensing treasures'!"

"Lord Langzhi! In the Wolf Clan, she is my daughter, Sa Ningbao!"

"Chief Sa! This is the Immortal Mountain! This is my daughter, Su Yuyao!"

"Lord Xuanfeng! I must take Ningbao with me!"

"This girl can't leave! She must stay by my side!"

"Impossible! You can't keep her here! My daughter has to go with her mother!"

"Ningbao must come with us! She is the leader of the Snow Mountain Wolf Clan!"

"No! I disagree! This is too dangerous for the girl!"

"My lord! Ningbao possesses such abilities! You should let go..."

"Bullshit! She's my daughter! She doesn't need you to plan things for her!"

"Lord Langzhi! It's only right that Ningbao returns to the Snow Mountain! Besides, this was something I discussed with you..."

"I disagree! There's no room for discussion..."

Bang! The door to the main hall was pushed open, and Yu Qing rushed in, panting, and said, "Lord Xuanfeng! Brother Langzhi! Miss Yao'er is leaving with Madam Sa!"

"What?!" Langzhi's eyes widened in shock, and he transformed into a spider and crawled away in two steps.

"You brat! How dare she?!" Xuanfeng channeled his inner energy and leaped out of the main hall.
