Chapter 374: So-called Fate
Ye Fei stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "What? Mother once saved Li Yuan?"
Hua Hua nodded, her gaze drifting into the distance, as if recalling some past event.
"At that time, she was already pregnant with you and went to the Demon Realm to escape the pursuit of her enemies. On the way, she encountered the Demon Lord who was seriously injured and unconscious. He was covered in blood, and your mother saved his life and took a drop of blood from him while he was unconscious."
Ye Fei asked, puzzled, "Why take Li Yuan's blood?"
Hua Hua said in a calm tone, "That drop of blood contained a trace of the Demon Lord's spiritual power. It was this trace of spiritual power that suppressed all of your own spiritual power."
"She used this method to prevent you from cultivating in order to protect you, hoping that you could be an ordinary person—even if it's just a useless person who can't cultivate."
Ye Fei's heart skipped a beat, and she was stunned by Hua Hua's words.
So... so the reason she couldn't cultivate back then wasn't for any other reason, but because the blood in the ring sealed off her spiritual energy!
Thinking back, it was on the night she met Li Yuan, who had transformed into a young boy, that she was able to resume her cultivation.
Li Yuan knew she carried his blood, so he chased after her and then promptly withdrew the spiritual energy from the ring...
Ye Fei suddenly realized, she took a deep breath and looked up at the dark sky.
The original owner was not a waste, never was.
Unfortunately, the original owner had already died in the Abyss of Burial Gods and would never hear Hua Hua's words again...
"You know the Demon Lord? Was it the Demon Lord who took away that wisp of spiritual power?" Hua Hua asked her.
Ye Fei opened her eyes and smiled, "Yes, Li Yuan is my partner."
"Partner?" Hua Hua was a little surprised. Wasn't the rumored Demon Lord Li Yuan a cold-blooded and ruthless person?
It was already incredible that he could find a partner, but he never expected that the person he found would be Jiang Xun's own daughter...
Hua Hua gave a bitter smile; it turned out that some things had already been arranged.
Thirteen years ago, Jiang Xun saved Li Yuan while pregnant with her daughter. Thirteen years later, Li Yuan and Jiang Xun's daughter became partners.
Is this what they call fate...?

Late at night, Ye Fei brought Hua Hua into her mental space.
Sensing a faint aura of the Wood Immortal Spring permeating the entire spiritual space, Hua Hua turned her gaze to the black earth.
"By the way, Huahua, I think my spiritual root has mutated. Is it because my mother also has a mutated spiritual root?"
Remembering that she hadn't asked Hua Hua about the mutated spiritual root, Ye Fei immediately ran to Hua Hua.
Hua Hua shook her head. She squatted down in front of the black soil, picked up some damp soil with her fingers, and said, "Your spiritual root has indeed mutated, but it's not because of Jiang Xun, but because of the spiritual energy of the Wood Immortal Spring."
"Your spiritual root is a wood spiritual root, which is the easiest to absorb the spiritual energy of the Wood Immortal Spring. If you absorb too much, and given that the spiritual energy of the Wood Immortal Spring is an extraordinary substance, it is not surprising that your spiritual root will mutate."
Ye Fei's eyes flickered slightly: "According to you, I can manipulate plants and grow herbs in my spiritual space. Is all of this because of the spiritual energy of the Wood Immortal Spring?"
Hua Hua nodded: "Yes."
She stood up from the black soil, looked around the entire space, and slowly said, "Jiang Xun didn't give up alchemy before giving birth to you, so I took her to the Wood Immortal Spring so that she could do what she liked while resting during her pregnancy. Subtly, the spiritual energy of the Wood Immortal Spring seeped into her womb through her body..."
