Inside the treehouse.
Hua Liu gazed tenderly at Qi Yu, who was lying peacefully asleep on the velvet blanket, her golden eyes filled with a variety of emotions.
Reluctance, heartache, sorrow, regret...
In the end, it all turned into a long, lingering sigh.
"well……"
[Host, are you sure you want to leave without saying goodbye?]
A mechanical, metallic voice rang in Hua Liu's mind.
She chuckled softly, "Time is running out."
The mechanical voice paused for a moment, then continued: "If I remember correctly, in the beginning, you also left without saying goodbye in the same way."
The blonde woman's smile vanished abruptly.
After a long pause, she lowered her pale eyelashes and whispered, "It's me... I'm sorry, Xiaoyu... but..."
Her voice was hoarse, her tone filled with an overwhelming sense of melancholy.
"This isn't leaving without saying goodbye; I'm just going ahead."
"It's because I'm cowardly that I didn't want to see her sad."
There was a moment of silence in the treehouse.
[Host, time is running out.]
Hua Liu, who had been watching Qi Yu intently, suddenly came to her senses and nodded to herself, "Yes, it's time to begin."
Her hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, one after another mysterious and profound mark appearing in the air.
...
The white fox, used as a footrest, stared at the blonde woman with trembling eyes, sensing wisps of spiritual energy slowly flowing from her body into the girl's.
Hua Liu is... she is transferring her cultivation and life force to her daughter!
The white fox swallowed hard, looking at Hua Liu with utter bewilderment.
The woman's once radiant gold hair gradually faded, replaced by withered, aged white hair.
Hua Liu seemed oblivious, continuing to draw upon her own power and send it into Qi Yu's body.
Xiaoyu... I hope you won't blame your mother.
Mom is just too tired, too tired.
Feng Xiao, who was standing under the golden willow tree, suddenly noticed something and looked up.
The once robust and sacred willow tree is rapidly decaying, like someone eager to leave, erasing every trace of its existence.
A hint of surprise flashed in Feng Xiao's eyes. He flew to the treehouse, but was stopped by the complex restrictions.
I hope Xiaoyu isn't in any trouble!
He summoned pale flames, ready to launch a full-scale attack!
A trembling willow branch peeked out from the treehouse, stopping him from moving.
"Kid, Xiaoyu is alright."
It was Hua Liu's voice.
The voice was weak, yet undeniably powerful.
Feng Xiao's mind raced, and as if remembering something, he frowned and said, "What is this...?"
The voice chuckled and said, "Leave something for my daughter, so she won't be bullied by you."
Feng Xiao frowned even more deeply and said, "Xiao Yu won't be happy, please stop."
The voice paused for a moment, then said, "This is my choice."
As soon as the words were spoken, the lightning tribulation in the sky was already poised to strike.
"boom--"
A bolt of dark purple lightning, as thick as a grown man's waist, struck down, hitting the pale gold willow tree that was already showing signs of decay.
A protective barrier appeared around the willow tree, shielding it from harm.
However, one after another, bolts of lightning struck down, giving no one a chance to catch their breath.
Feng Xiao stood among the trees, his expression solemn.
If he wasn't mistaken, Hua Liu had already transferred all of his cultivation to Xiao Yu.
This tribulation lightning was aimed at Xiaoyu.
...
There are as many as ninety-nine lightning tribulations during the Tribulation Transcending stage, each one more powerful than the last, affecting the entire forbidden area of the Flying Star Sect.
In the end, even the powerful demons trapped in the willow branch cage beneath the willow tree did not escape their fate.
The magnificent pale gold willow tree had been charred black by the chopping, but the small treehouse nestled between the trunks remained unharmed, protecting the young girl as she slept soundly.
Feng Xiao stood in front of the treehouse, sweat dripping from his forehead. In order to resist the lightning tribulation, he had very little power left in his body.
only……
His brows were furrowed with melancholy as he gazed silently at the willow tree, which had withered and lost all vitality.
The white fox in the treehouse trembled violently, its fur standing on end.
Looking at Hua Liu before it, whose youth had passed swiftly and who had become an old man with white hair in the blink of an eye, it was deeply shaken.
The girl was still fast asleep on the blanket, completely unaware of the disturbances around her.
The white-haired woman looked so old she was almost dead. Touching her face, she murmured, "To have seen myself grow old in this lifetime, I have no regrets."
Hua Liu waved her hand, trying to summon paper and pen, but suddenly realized that she had no spiritual power left.
The white fox noticed this and hurriedly went to another room to fetch paper and a pen, which it then handed to the woman.
Hua Liu looked at the white fox, gave a not-so-attractive smile, and patted the fox's head.
She picked up a pen and paper, and her fingers trembled as she began to write.
Each stroke, each word, each phrase.
A short while later, she put down her pen, turned her head, and took one last look at the girl.
"Goodbye, Xiaoyu."
Starting from the strands of hair, a woman's existence gradually crumbles, transforming into specks of fluorescent light that vanish into the air.
At the same time, Qi Yu opened her eyes with a smile.
She stretched, savoring the most beautiful dream of her life.
Halfway through her action, she suddenly stopped and looked at the thin piece of paper placed in front of her.
For some reason, a sense of panic welled up in her heart.
She grabbed the paper, but didn't dare to open it. Instead, she stood up and frantically looked around.
"Mom?" Qi Yu called out tentatively in a soft voice.
No one answered.
"Mother?"
She hurried along, searching room by room, calling out her name repeatedly.
