Chapter 206 Su Yuyao Inherits the Wuji Dao

"Girl?!" Xuanfeng suddenly looked up at Yi's mother, and the calm Qi field gradually began to surge.

“Xuanfeng, have you ever thought about why I escaped danger? And why Jinyu was able to wake up safely?” Mother Yi sat up with difficulty, leaned towards Xuanfeng, lowered her voice, and said solemnly, “If those chaotic Qi fields in the Wuji Dao were still within my Qi field and Jinyu’s lunar Qi, how could my daughter and I have survived unharmed?”

A wave of emotion surged in Xuanfeng's azure eyes as he stared at Yimu's eyes in horror and disbelief. "You...you mean..."

"The Dao of Limitless... has already broken away from me!" Mother Yi's soft words struck Xuanfeng's heart like a thunderbolt. "Guess where the Dao of Limitless is?"

“It will be…” Xuan Feng dared not think about it, yet he had to. If Wuji Dao was not with Yi Mu, then there was only one possibility! The passage! Wuji Dao entered Su Yuyao's Qi field through the passage!

Xuanfeng's eyes flashed with emotion as he suppressed his impending outburst. "If... then what will happen to the girl?"

Mother Yi looked at Xuan Feng, who was enduring and helpless, with heartache. "I... don't know either. To be precise, I... don't know anything now!"

Xuanfeng was startled again. He released his Qi field to probe Yimu. Hmm? Ah?!

Yi's mother said with a wry smile, "I am just an ordinary old lady now. If Ruixin had really forced me to abdicate, I would have been helpless."

Xuanfeng stared in shock at Yi's mother—his mother, who had lost the Dao of Limitless and all her Qi fields, was telling him the truth so calmly and frankly! He finally understood that the terrifying thing about Yi's mother was not her Qi, but her heart!

Facing the shocked Xuan Feng, Mother Yi still smiled and said, "Although I failed to preserve my Wuji Dao, Jin Yu's Moon Qi was also lost. It all benefited that brat Su Yu Yao!"

"Girl...you're receiving two powerful Qi fields?!" Xuanfeng's eyes suddenly bulged with bloodshot veins as he roared, "She'll die!"

Mother Yi shook her head calmly, "Perhaps not! Don't forget, she is Su Yuyao! Su Yuyao who is not under your, my, or his control!"

Xuanfeng's head was buzzing. He tried to find Su Yuyao's shadow through the bell, but he had to admit that his girl had indeed long since escaped his control!

He stood up abruptly, his eyes bloodshot, and gritted his teeth as he said, "I'm going to find her!"

Mother Yi shook her head slightly. "It's too late! If she can't withstand it, she'll probably be reduced to dust by the energy field! If she can withstand it, we can only wait!"

"Wait?!" Xuanfeng paced anxiously in the room. He knew all the reasons, but he couldn't calm down. Any news about Su Yuyao would disturb his peace.

Seeing Xuanfeng's growing agitation, Yimu sighed and said, "Xuanfeng, if anything had happened to Su Yuyao, the Wolf Clan would have been in an uproar, and the various realms and domains would definitely not be so peaceful! So, no news is good news!"

Xuanfeng stood still, hands on his hips, taking deep breaths. Yes, no news is good news! Girl! Hang in there! You absolutely, positively cannot get hurt!

Thinking of this, Xuanfeng could no longer hold back. He abruptly covered his eyes. Girl... what if... what will happen to me and Little One... I really shouldn't have left you... I should... have stopped sooner...

Looking at Xuanfeng, who was panicking and frustrated, Yi's mother rolled her eyes. What was so good about that brat Su Yuyao that made this rascal lose his composure? If she hadn't already seen through that brat's usefulness and the fact that she was pregnant with Xuanfeng's child, how could she have tolerated her? She really shouldn't have been so soft-hearted. Even if she couldn't keep the child, getting her big, healthy granddaughter would have been better than nothing…

Xuanfeng was stunned. He looked at Yimu in surprise. What?

Looking at Xuanfeng's expression, Yi's mother was also surprised. This brat... could he have overheard something?

Xuanfeng's eyes widened suddenly. So what the girl said was true?!

Her mother was also surprised. Had he really heard her?!

In an instant, both Yi's mother and Xuanfeng's mother felt awkward.

Xuanfeng confirmed that Yi's mother had once wanted to leave her son behind, and Yi's mother had no choice but to admit that she had once wanted to leave her son behind.

“Xuanfeng,” Mother Yi said softly, composing herself, “What happened before is in the past, and there’s no point in dwelling on it now! The most important thing now is to buy time for Yao’er, to give her enough time to activate her Qi field!”

Xuanfeng coldly stared at Yi's mother, suppressing his anger, and said, "Circulate the Qi field? Your Majesty speaks so lightly! The moon Qi of the Wuji Dao, the moon Qi of the Binglun Palace, and the girl's own Qi field—three different Qi energies—are compatible. How easy is that?! And you want her to circulate it? Your Majesty! Have you considered the consequences?!"

"I've thought about it!" A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Yi Mu's eyes as she said indifferently, "Just now, when I woke up, I already thought that if no one in the Wuji Dao could take over, then all the world origins in the Wuji Dao, including everyone in the Head Palace, would be destroyed!"

Xuanfeng's eyes widened in shock, his Qi surged, causing Yimu's pale blue hair to flutter slightly.

Yi Mu's eyes were sharp but she wasn't panicked. She smiled wickedly and said, "If such a huge bait disappears from the Wuji Dao, what do you think... will happen to the many hungry wolves?"

"What?!" Xuanfeng's azure valley howled like a cold wind.

“Back then, Xuan Yi was the Heavenly Lord who ruled the Heavenly Palace, while I was just a lowly fairy. To marry me, he fought against all the gods, ultimately using the Immortal Mountain as my backing, and we even had a child together in the Boundless Path that became my source of power! He did so much for me… yet I couldn’t tolerate his distraction… and I harmed him…”

Yi's mother gave a bitter smile, her eyes glistening with tears. "Xuanfeng, if the Boundless Path ceases to exist, will the various forces still care about us, mother and son? Even if I were willing to give my life, what about you? What about all living beings in the world?"

Xuanfeng struggled to suppress the churning Qi field, and he finally understood the hardships his mother had endured and all that she had borne!

“Xuanfeng,” Yi Mu’s eyes gradually regained their unfathomable coldness, “My time is up. I must find the next Mother of Limitless to maintain the balance between the parties! I thought I could support and nurture the Mother of Limitless, but I never expected… everything is preordained by cause and effect!”

Xuanfeng regulated his breathing and gradually stabilized the energy field. He couldn't delve into why reality always went against his wishes, nor did he have time to analyze why Su Yuyao was chosen to inherit the position of the Mother of Limitless! Right now, all he could do was stabilize the Heavenly Palace and buy Su Yuyao some time!

He frowned as he looked at his mother, the old lady who, despite having lost all her Qi, remained calm and composed. "Your Majesty, you cannot show yourself again!"

Looking at Xuanfeng, who was gradually calming down, Yi's mother said with a smile, "Alright, you can handle the rest! Whether it's Lu Chang or Lei Ming, it's time to let them put their skills to use!"

Xuanfeng's eyes trembled slightly. "You know everything."

Mother Yi nodded. "I know. You are my children, and I know everything you do. But... I can't guess how it will end."

Xuanfeng looked at Yi's mother, feeling a mix of emotions. They weren't exactly close, but they certainly weren't as distant as before.

He clasped his hands and bowed deeply, saying, "Your Majesty, I will do everything in my power to protect the Heavenly Palace!"

...

Su Yuyao used all her Qi to finally expel the harmful Qi field. Although she was powerless to circulate it, she didn't let the various Qi fields clash wildly. Instead, she calmed her mind and released spider silk to restrain the conflicting Qi fields. She slowed her Qi release, gently pulling the spider silk, slowly breaking it down, slowly smoothing it out…

Su Yuyao's bedroom was still warm, but the strong smell of Chinese medicine soup masked the faint scent of milk.

Bai Er carefully held Su Yuyao in her arms and placed a handkerchief around Su Yuyao's mouth. Hu Lingli used a spoon to feed Su Yuyao the medicine, but the brown medicine dripped from the corner of Su Yuyao's mouth.

Bai Er held back her tears and wiped Su Yuyao's mouth with a handkerchief, while Hu Lingli, with tears in her eyes, fed her another spoonful.

"Aunt Hu, what should we do?" Bai Er couldn't hold back any longer, tears streaming down her face. "Miss just can't drink it!"

"Don't worry," Hu Lingli lowered her head and wiped her eyes with her sleeve, then scooped up a spoonful of medicine and fed it to Su Yuyao. "Didn't Lord Langzhi say that once this medicine is in the mouth, its medicinal properties will take effect... as long as we can keep Miss alive..."

As Hu Lingli spoke, her eyes grew redder and redder, and she eventually choked up.

"Wow, ah..." Xuanhe, inside the little wooden bed, waved her little hands, blinked her little eyes, and made cooing noises at Su Yuyao.

The tender, soft voice awakened Su Yuyao's sleeping body, and Su Yuyao's front was slowly soaked.

Hu Lingli quickly put down the bowl of medicine in her hand, wiped away her tears, and unbuttoned Su Yuyao's front, where she saw milky white breast milk slowly overflowing.

"Eh? Miss's breast milk isn't blood red anymore!" Hu Lingli exclaimed in surprise and joy, her eyes filled with tears and a smile. "I'll go tell Lord Langzhi!" With that, she hurriedly ran out of the bedroom.

A hint of joy flashed across Bai Er's face. She slowly laid Su Yuyao's body flat and checked Su Yuyao's lower body. Although the amount of blood had decreased, it was still shockingly red!

Bai Er knelt on the bed, stroking Su Yuyao's pale face, and whispered, "Miss, please get well soon! Miao'er and Yu Chen can't live without you, the Snow Mountain Wolf Clan can't live without you... none of us can live without you..."

...

After several days of diarrhea, Xuanmiao finally cleared out the toxins. Although she was out of danger, she was so weak that she couldn't even open her eyes. She could only slump in Langzhi's arms and fall into a deep sleep.

Langzhi swayed slightly, her movements weak and mysterious, as she listened to reports coming from all directions in the main hall.

"Lord Langzhi!" Shadow clasped his hands in a respectful bow and said, "The glacier north of Buqiong Peak has completely melted, and the broken ice and rubble are flowing with the glacial water towards the four northern cities! Ghost has gone to keep an eye on it and will send back news as soon as there is any development!"

Langzhi frowned.

Shu Bu stepped forward and said, "Lord Langzhi! Lord Qimen has sent word that he has adopted the commander's suggestion and is dealing with the remnants of the Ten-Headed Peak!"

Langzhi's already furrowed brows tightened even more.

"Lord Langzhi! The Snow Mountain has been reinforced with security! Special personnel have been assigned to patrol the road leading to Sangong City regularly, and any abnormalities will be reported back immediately!" Ruixue said with a serious expression.

Langzhi's furrowed brows showed no sign of easing as she pondered, "Truly, she is worthy of being my daughter! She flooded the four northern cities, cutting off Ruixin's retreat; she wiped out the people of Shitou Peak, cutting off Qinggan's retreat; she ran through Sangong City, leaving a way out for Xueshan! However, the tide is aggressive, and Chiyan is keeping a low profile, so how should we deal with it?"

"Lord Langzhi! It's already snowing in the east, so the mountain closure period this year will probably be earlier!" Sandstorm reported, bowing low.

Langzhi thought for a moment and said, "Heavy snow closes the mountain? That's perfect! Ratbu, take stock of the supplies and distribute them as usual! Shadow, keep watch on Undying Peak and maintain communication with Ghost! Snow and Sandstorm, increase vigilance, especially on Mount Chengma! Everyone listen up, the mountain closure period has arrived, snow mountain, silence!"

"Mmm mmm mmm!" Upon hearing this, Ren Shen became somewhat anxious and made muffled noises while holding the spider silk ball in his mouth.

“Especially you!” Langzhi glanced at Renshin. “You are not allowed to pass on any messages!”

Ren Shen's eyes widened as he pointed towards Su Yuyao's bedroom, "Ughhhhhh?!"

"You can't say!" Langzhi said, her eyes wide.

"Hmm hmm hmm hmm?!" Ren Shen pointed in the direction of the Heavenly Palace again.

"We don't need to know anything about what's happening over there!" Langzhi said, glaring at him.

"Ugh ugh ugh ugh!" Ren Shen glared at her anxiously.

Upon seeing this, Langzhi rolled her eyes and glared back.

The spider silk ball in Ren Shen's mouth slowly swelled up, the spider silk on his face tightened, and his bulging eyes slowly protruded.

"Lord Langzhi! Lord Langzhi!" Hu Lingli, gathering her skirt, ran into the main hall, interrupting Langzhi and Renshen's staring contest, and shouted with a smile, "Miss's milk has returned to normal! It's normal!"

"It's back to normal?! That's wonderful!" Langzhi rolled her red eyes back, carefully bounced Xuanmiao in her arms, and whispered, "Little one, let's go have some milk! Your mother has milk!"

After saying that, he rushed towards Su Yuyao's bedroom, protecting Xuanmiao in his arms!

Smack smack smack...

Xuanhe sucked on the dung beetle, oblivious to what his mother was going through. All he knew was that they had suddenly run out of food, and no other food suited his taste. He could only seize any opportunity to eat, because he didn't know if he would go hungry again...

"Mother..." Xuanmiao, smelling the sweet scent of breast milk, finally opened her eyes and clung to Langzhi's clothes, "I want Mother..."

Lang Zhi glanced at the cobweb screen covering Su Yuyao's bed, then looked down at the thin and listless Xuanmiao. His eyelids began to sting. He sniffed and said, "Little one, be good. Let your brother eat first. After he finishes, the rest is all yours!"

Xuanmiao blinked her lifeless eyes, too weak to even respond.

Smack... Smack smack...

Xuanhe's eyes were already starting to glaze over, but he still refused to let go.

"Aunt Hu, shouldn't that little brat have finished eating by now? Why is it taking so long?" Lang Zhi looked at Xuanmiao in her arms with heartache and asked in a low voice.

"I'm done eating!" Bai Er hurriedly came out, curtsied, and said, "Lord Langzhi, Yu Chen was starving, so she ate a few extra bites..."

"Hmph! This little brat, he's had plenty to eat! But he won't drink goat's milk, and he won't even take the wet nurse we found for him, he insists on fighting with his sister for milk now!" Langzhi muttered as she carefully handed Xuanmiao to Bai'er. "Poor little one, with such serious internal injuries, he still has to wait anxiously..."

Knowing that Langzhi's favoritism was mysterious, Bai'er comforted him, "Lord Langzhi, there's no need to worry. Miao'er is very resilient and will recover soon!"

Langzhi sighed, nodded, and said, "The most important thing is that my daughter gets better soon! Is she taking her medicine on time?"

Mentioning Su Yuyao, Bai Er's eyes began to redden again, "The medicine is being given on time, but... Miss still can't swallow it..."

"It's alright! When that crazy woman Feihua delivered the medicinal herbs, she said there was no need to drink it, just to use the medicinal energy to regulate the Qi field..." Langzhi narrowed her eyes, fidgeting with her fingertips. How did Feihua know my daughter would have this experience? Regulate the Qi field? Then this external Qi field... is it really...?

Glug glug glug...

Upon hearing that voice, Langzhi finally felt relieved. "Our little ones are amazing! They're eating with such gusto!"

...

Su Yuyao calmly regulated the chaotic energy field. When her body was bloated and the energy flow was obstructed, a force would slowly draw some of the energy away; when the energy field was too turbulent and could not be stabilized, a soothing force would slow down the clash of energy fields, giving her enough time to separate and guide it...

And so, in a dark space of consciousness, Su Yuyao tirelessly dismantled, eliminated, and merged, trying to straighten out the chaotic energy field. She didn't know when it would end, nor did she know if she could ever return to Xuanmiao and Xuanhe's side. She only knew that she couldn't stop, couldn't give up, because once she gave up, there would be no hope left!

After an unknown amount of time, Su Yuyao finally regulated her Qi field. She sensed it again and again, and it seemed that the scorching heat was gone... it seemed that the resistance and collision were gone... it seemed that everything had quieted down... it seemed... my body had disappeared again...

Su Yuyao smiled helplessly, and tried to open her eyes again... This time, she finally saw!

She saw a deep, azure valley, within which was a pale yellow vortex of Qi, and within that Qi field floated four enormous Qi orbs of green, red, white, and black!

What is this?! Did I draw these Qi clusters?! Within these Qi clusters, she had seen countless images: bustling streets, dark grasslands, dense jungles, scorching volcanoes, frigid glaciers, running beasts, flying iron birds, magnificent artillery fire... She stared in shock at the world before her, a world both strange and strangely familiar...

"Mom!" A clear, childish voice woke Su Yuyao from the screen.

Her heart trembled violently. Miao'er! My Miao'er!

"Mother!"

Su Yuyao tried to discern the direction from which the sound came in the azure valley.

"Damn it! Get out!"

Wow! Wow!

"Hey! Miao'er! You two, one each, don't fight!"

"don't want!"

"Bai Er! Come quickly and take Yu Chen away!"

"yes!"

"Don't give her grass! Give it to Miao'er!"

Wow! Wow!

"Alright, alright, Grandma! Then leave a bite for Yu Chen!"

Glug glug glug...

"Hahahaha! Our little one is amazing!"

Although she only overheard a few words, Su Yuyao roughly understood Xuanhe's situation. She felt sorry for Xuanhe and missed Xuanmiao even more. She wondered how badly Xuanmiao had bullied Xuanhe, whether Xuanmiao missed her, and if everything was alright on the snow mountain…

Thud! A loud crash!

Ugh! Su Yuyao's chest suddenly felt heavy, as if a huge rock was pressing down on it! Suffocation, the long-lost feeling of suffocation!

"Miao'er! Get down quickly! Don't crush your mother!"

"No! I want Mommy to hold me!"

"My dear Miao'er! How about Aunt Bai'er takes you out to play?"

"No! I want Mommy to hold me!"

"Little one! Don't you dare cause trouble for your mother! Grandpa will take you to find that stinky dried fish to play with! Okay?"

"Hmm... okay! Find Agan!"

The heavy weight on her chest suddenly disappeared, "Ugh—!" Su Yuyao finally managed to take a breath!

So sweet! So warm! That familiar, warm breath...

The flickering firelight slowly flashed into Su Yuyao's eyes, and a slightly sweet scent entered her nostrils. In an instant, her body, which had disappeared, gradually returned to her senses. Heaviness, fatigue, pain... all her senses came back!

She slightly opened her eyes and looked at the pale pink gauze curtain above her head. Then she slowly moved her eyes and looked at the newly erected cobweb screen in the room. She listened to the rustling footsteps and the baby's crying. Everything was the same, yet it seemed that everything had changed!

...
