In the palace of Da Chu, Xiang Yuxin held a bowl of steaming porridge, gently scooped up a spoonful, and then carefully handed it to Nangong Luoyu's mouth, his eyes full of worry and pity, and said softly: "Master, have a bite, you haven't eaten for a week... How can your body bear it if you continue like this?"
However, Nangong Luoyu just shook her head slightly, her eyes were empty, as if she had lost her soul. She hugged the man's clothes tightly, holding the portrait scattered on the ground in her hands. Now she has long lost the charm of the fairy in white clothes in the past, and has become disheveled and miserable. She kept murmuring: "Ning'er, don't want me anymore... Ning'er, you said you would marry my aunt, why did you lie to me..."
Xiang Yuxin looked at her master in such a state with distress, and felt as if she was stabbed by thousands of needles. She held back her tears and said with a choked voice: "Master, why do you have to torture yourself like this for a man? Is he really worth it?"
But Nangong Luoyu seemed to be completely immersed in her own world, and had no reaction to Xiang Yuxin's words. Her eyes were dull, like an emotionless puppet, just mechanically repeating the previous words. In the end, Xiang Yuxin still couldn't let her eat even a bite of food.
She stood up silently, bent down and picked up the portrait on the ground. When she saw the person in the painting, she couldn't help but sigh and said helplessly: "It seems that only you can save Master..."
In the Xiao residence, Xiao Ding sat cross-legged on the bed, with his palms on Xiao Ning's back, trying to use his powerful spiritual power to unlock the seal in Xiao Ning's body. However, this mysterious and complex soul sealing technique was difficult for even a strong man like him who had reached the Lianxu realm to break. He frowned slightly, slowly moved his hands away from Xiao Ning's back, shook his head gently, and said in a heavy tone:
"Ning'er, I'm sorry, there's nothing your father can do!"
Chu Qian, who was standing by, turned pale and burst into tears when she heard this. She asked anxiously:
"Brother Ding, what should we do? Are we just going to watch Ning'er being sealed forever?"
Xiao Ding sighed helplessly and explained:
"The seal on Ning'er is not an ordinary seal, but an advanced soul sealing technique. This kind of magic requires extremely high cultivation and superb skills to perform. Moreover, this sealing technique also has a self-protection mechanism. If it is forcibly broken, it may cause irreversible damage to Ning'er's soul."
Chu Qian's eyes widened in shock. She murmured to herself:
"Then what shall we do?"
Xiao Ding patted Chu Qian's shoulder gently and said:
"Senior sister used her soul as a medium to forcibly merge with Ning'er's lost soul. Now, Senior sister and Ning'er can be said to be as close as blood. This is why Ning'er easily loses consciousness and falls into a coma when she comes to her side. As for the seal on Ning'er's cultivation, it should be the secret technique of their Nangong family that suppresses soul power and prevents people from using their own cultivation. If they want to lift the seal, they can only let her lift the seal herself or find Ning'er's soul."
Chu Qian's face suddenly showed an uncontrollable anger. She stood up suddenly and said angrily, "This abominable woman! How dare she treat Ning'er like this! I will go find her now and skin her alive to take back Ning'er's soul!"
Having said that, she turned around and was about to leave, but Xiao Ding stopped her.
Xiao Ding frowned, looked at his wife, and comforted her softly: "Qian'er, don't be impulsive. We need to calm down and think carefully about how to solve the problem."
Chu Qian widened her eyes, glared at her husband, and shouted, "How can I not be impulsive? That's our son! Are you going to just watch him live his whole life as a mortal?"
Xiao Ding sighed and explained, "Of course I feel sorry for Ning'er, but we can't make the wrong decision because of the impulse. Souls cannot be taken by force. If we act rashly, it may cause harm to both Ning'er and Senior Sister."
Chu Qian was furious, pointing at Xiao Ding and cursing, "You still call her Senior Sister? She has hurt our son so badly, and you are still protecting her!"
Xiao Ding shook his head helplessly, holding Chu Qian's shoulders and continued to explain: "Qian'er, things are not as simple as you think. Senior sister may have her own difficulties, and there are still many mysteries that have not been solved. We should find out the truth first, and then make a decision."
Chu Qian sneered and said sarcastically, "Humph, hardship? Her hardship is to harm my son? No matter what, I will not let her go!"
Xiao Ding knew that his wife was emotional at the moment and it was difficult for her to listen to him, so he turned to look at Xiao Ning with a troubled look, hoping that he could persuade Chu Qian. Xiao Ning understood what he meant and quickly hugged Chu Qian who was about to hit her, and gently comforted her: "Mother, what father said is unreasonable. This matter needs to be considered carefully."
Chu Qian looked at Xiao Ning's familiar face, and the grievance in her heart suddenly surged up, tears could not stop flowing down, and she couldn't help sobbing on his shoulder. Xiao Ning gently patted her back, trying to calm her down.
Chu Qian sobbed, tears kept falling, and she said in a choked voice: "Son, you can't go to that woman again. I can't lose you again!" She held Xiao Ning's hand tightly, her eyes full of worry.
Xiao Ning sighed softly, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said to Chu Qian in a firm tone: "Mother, the seal has been planted. I guess only Nangong Luoyu can break it. I will find a chance to confront her. Don't worry, I won't go alone this time. Don't I still have you and father, right?" He patted Chu Qian's shoulder, trying to give her some comfort.
Chu Qian listened to Xiao Ning's words, and the anger in her heart gradually dissipated. She knew that her son had grown up and had his own plans. She gradually stopped crying, leaned in Xiao Ning's arms, felt his warm embrace, and her mood slowly calmed down.
After Xiao Ning felt that his mother's emotions had stabilized, he turned to look at Xiao Ding with a helpless expression, as if to say, "Why do you need me to coax your woman?"
Xiao Ding understood what he meant and smiled helplessly. He thought to himself, "After all, you are a son. You are more useful than a husband like me in this respect!"
Suddenly, Lao Wang’s voice was heard outside.
"Madam! Master! Someone has come to our house! Come and have a look!"
