Ice Maiden left blank.
The past cannot be retrieved, leaving only my sorrow.
When he met Zhu Zhanshang, it was during the season of falling flowers.
The disciples of our Hehuan Sect do not often go down the mountain to travel.
The reason is simple: within the Hehuan Sect, most disciples do not have a strong foundation in cultivation, and they may die in battle if they encounter even slightly powerful demonic beasts.
Compared to traveling, the Hehuan Sect places greater emphasis on the grand sect competition held every ten years in the cultivation world.
For other sects, this is a great opportunity to show their skills.
For the talented men and beautiful women of the Hehuan Sect, this was an excellent opportunity to find a good Daoist partner.
Senior Brother Jiang Xiaosheng was living a secluded life with his wife in the mortal realm, enjoying himself so much that he forgot all about home. He even sent a message back to Senior Sister Miaoyin, saying that he had met a very kind and gentle girl and wanted to spend his life with her.
"What kind of feeling is that?" I asked my senior.
At that time, Senior Sister Miaoyin was personally arranging pills in the alchemy room. She smiled and said to me, "You'll understand when you have a lover. I don't know when Xiao will come back. We'll be able to see what your sister-in-law looks like."
I didn't have much expectation, but it felt strange to see my eldest brother, who always cared about us sisters, suddenly having a family.
He is no longer our senior brother; he has a girl of his own.
What is it like to have someone who is different from everyone else?
"I also want to find a man who is very special to me and belongs only to me to be my husband!"
Senior Sister Miaoyin feigned anger and pretended to hit me, saying, "Shameless little girl, you should practice your basic skills first! Then learn a sword technique so you won't get bullied in the future!"
When my senior sister punished me, I didn't know what she meant by "bullying".
While the flowers of April have faded in the human world, the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are just beginning to bloom.
I secretly went to the human world that my senior brother had mentioned, but I didn't find it particularly fun.
Along the way, amidst the bustling crowds, there were many lecherous men who, upon seeing a woman, would try to take advantage of her.
Actually, I can handle the bandits blocking my way by myself.
Suddenly, a handsome young man appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of me, sternly rebuking the bandits. With just a few simple moves, he defeated them soundly.
I was very surprised at the time, and I felt that the person in front of me was very unique.
But if time could turn back, and we returned to the moment we met, I would definitely scoff at it.
Hmph, a cultivator born and raised in the cultivation world can easily deal with a group of mortals with a wave of his hand.
I was too naive back then, mistaking a fish eye for a pearl.
"Your name is Zhu Zhanyi?" Her face, adorned with pink rouge, revealed a pair of exquisitely beautiful phoenix eyes.
Zhu Zhanyi raised an eyebrow: "It is indeed I. Would you need someone to travel with you on your journey, young lady?"
Since he's quite handsome, I'll let him come with me!
Although he wasn't as good-looking as my senior brother, he was humorous, witty, and had an exceptional way of speaking throughout the journey, which I really liked.
For the next six months or so, we stayed together and dealt with many small and medium-sized monsters in the human world.
So this is what the chivalrous deeds described in folk tales are like!
Seeing the ordinary villagers who were not at peace because of the monsters, I felt very happy to be by the side of such a chivalrous hero.
Until he was seriously injured during a demon-hunting expedition.
The wounds were so frightening that even the most miraculous medicines couldn't heal them.
I met him when the flowers were falling, and his handsome and elegant figure was so pleasing to the eye among the scattered peach blossoms.
At that time, the snow was falling heavily, and amidst the pristine white mountains and withered branches, he looked so frail with his pale face.
We swear an oath to the heavens, and the moon, like a silver platter, is our witness.
Sure enough, with the help of my refined Hehuan Technique, he recovered quickly.
In fact, his cultivation level has grown to be much higher than when they first met.
If this were a story from a mortal world, our tale would end here.
From then on, the immortal couple who roamed the world should live a happy life of farming and weaving.
Later, we returned to the world of cultivation. I went back to the Hehuan Sect to wait for him to finish his family affairs before he came to marry me.
On a day filled with joy, I was met with the elegant and domineering Ms. Shen.
She said that she was Zhu Zhanyi's legal wife and had come to the Hehuan Sect to help her husband take a concubine!
Senior Sister Miaoyin was so angry that she smashed the teacup meant for the guests.
The atmosphere in the entire reception hall was extremely somber!
It turns out that the man who belonged to me was a man of little renown, the legitimate son of the Zhu family.
"If it weren't for the fact that your Ice Maiden can help my husband cultivate and improve his realm quickly, do you think I would just let any person into the house as a concubine?"
This meeting ended badly.
Indeed, some of the girls in the Hehuan Sect are sent by their families to learn martial arts or to become concubines.
These families would often give the sect many spirit stones and treasures, entrusting the sect to teach the girls with care.
Even if a girl is sent to another family to be a concubine, her family will still bring generous gifts to thank the teacher and take her back with dignity before discussing marriage.
Does someone who comes to our door and declares they want to take a concubine think our sect is a red-light district?
Disheartened, I quietly left.
I can almost imagine how disappointed and frustrated my master and senior sister Miaoyin must have been when they saw my handwritten farewell letter.
My broken state has caused the entire sect to be cursed and insulted. I have no face to face my fellow disciples who took care of me.
I embarked once again on my journey through the world alone.
This time, I was extremely careful, not daring to be careless in the slightest. I needed to find a safe place to stay, because I couldn't bear to abort the child in my womb.
Until I arrived at a very remote little village, somewhere in the corner called Corner Village, and settled down there for only a few days before I was about to give birth.
The woman who helped me give birth was my neighbor, a woman with a round face.
She had a son and a daughter by her side, one young and one old.
After her daughter was born, she was surprised to find a white jade hairpin in her daughter's placenta, which was shaped like a lantern.
That hairpin was exceptionally radiant, its color as luminous as moonlight, so otherworldly and unparalleled. At that moment, I realized that my daughter was extraordinary.
For nearly ten thousand years, no immortal has successfully ascended to the Spirit Realm in the entire cultivation world. Cultivators are all eagerly searching for unique cultivation resources. If it were known that her newborn daughter possessed a magical artifact that is rumored to be possessed only by the reincarnation of an immortal in the Spirit Realm...
I'm afraid those old foxes will devour the young girl's talent and magical artifacts before she even grows up!
"It's just an ordinary white jade hairpin. I bought it for my child before I came here. Please don't make a fuss about it, sister."
What does the outside world look like?
"Girl, you look like a cultivator. Can girls become disciples and cultivate immortality?"
That older woman kept asking me if girls could learn a skill from a master outside of school.
For the first time, I realized that even in the world of cultivation, in remote places where spiritual energy is depleted, not everyone has the opportunity to become an apprentice and cultivate immortality.
I felt a little sad looking at the young girl next to me who was helping the older sister boil water and do chores.
After becoming a mother, I finally understood why my neighbor kept asking me these questions.
She is a good mother and wants to help her daughter find a good future.
"Little girl, come in! There are some spirit stones in this purse, and a very simple cultivation manual. I can't give you much, but consider it a gift from your aunt." I held my newborn baby, covered her with a blanket, and called to the little girl who was boiling water in the kitchen outside the door.
The older woman exclaimed in surprise, "Girl, what are you really doing? I just want to know how to send a girl outside to cultivate immortality, I don't want to ask you for anything!"
“This is a gift for the child. If you want to send your child to study under a master in the future, you need to find a way to teach her to recognize the words in books first. Once she leaves the mountains, goes to the town outside, and then to a very big city, she can find a place called the Hehuan Sect Office. With this purse that I gave to the girl, she can become a disciple and learn her craft.”
"Once they get into the sect, we need to buy the girls two decent training outfits, a beginner's practice sword, talismans for self-defense, attribute spirit stones for cultivation, and daily food expenses... All these things add up to a lot of money."
The older sister looked hesitant, glanced at the small purse in my hand, then at the pretty young woman beside her, and finally made up her mind. She solemnly accepted the purse, expressing her deepest gratitude.
She probably knew that the spirit stones her family had saved up wouldn't be enough to send her child to a sect to cultivate immortality.
Anyway, along the way in this small town, there wasn't even a novice alchemist, and many people were wasting their talent for cultivation.
In remote, impoverished areas, just being able to survive is a blessing.
As for whether that older sister will send her daughter or son to become an apprentice to cultivate immortality, I have no idea.
Soon, Zhu Zhanyi found me.
When we met again, I was shocked to realize how despicable he truly was!
He used the bloodline technique to sense the child's presence! This scumbag actually transferred the hidden dangers and pain of the bloodline technique onto the child!
"Bingniang, I'm going to compete for the family heir. If I have any hidden injuries, it will be very troublesome..." I couldn't hear anything else he said after that. I didn't want to hear another word from this beast.
He even dared to exploit his own child!
"This child's arrival is very timely, let's name him Zhu Yi! Bingniang, come back to the Zhu family with me, and help me cultivate the Hehuan technique. If I can become the next head of the Zhu family in the assessment, I can find many rare treasures to heal the child..."
I silently endured all the blood and tears, simply because at that time, I had almost no power to fight back against the Zhu family's soldiers.
The baby's cries in her arms gradually subsided, and she needed to return to the Zhu family's ancestral home immediately to recuperate!
The use of blood-related techniques has hidden dangers, and those who feel unwell need to return to their ancestral home where the family lives to recuperate.
This is a perverted technique devised by aristocratic families in the cultivation world to control their disobedient disciples who are outside!
This scumbag actually used it on a baby who was less than three months old!
As I left Guanjiao Village, I saw the sad and flustered look in the eyes of the older sister next door.
She had never seen anything like it before, and carefully shielded the child behind her. "Thank you for taking care of my wife. Take this and buy some meat."
Zhu Zhanyi arrogantly tossed down a few low-grade spirit stones, and for the first time, I realized that this was his true nature.
In this world, many stories of infatuation are fabricated by storytellers.
They're all fake.
I was forced to come to the Zhu family, and I am truly unwilling to accept this.
She was unwilling to be deceived by a scumbag and lose everything.
They were also unwilling to let their children be trapped here forever, becoming pawns in the marriage alliances of large families.
From now on, let's see who has the last laugh between us.
My daughter, you will resent me for ignoring you in the future, won't you?
That's good. Get out of the Zhu family. I don't want you to have a mother who is held hostage by the enemy.
I hope that one day, when you leave the Zhu family, you will seize every opportunity to transform yourself and gradually become very capable.
Mother believes you must be a very powerful cultivator.
Every time you are bullied by the Shen family or the eldest daughter of the Zhu family, I feel very sad.
However, even though my heart is bleeding, I don't want you to grow up in the future and be taken advantage of by the Zhu family because of this crooked and short-lived mother-daughter relationship, and to be held back in your actions because of my sake.
For a wife, what could be more heartbreaking than watching her husband spend all his time with other women?
It must be very difficult for a child to accept that their parents are not getting along.
My beloved husband, do you still think that every time you indulge in sensual pleasures, you can enhance your cultivation?
When you unhesitatingly transferred the hidden dangers of the blood-related magic to my daughter, did you ever think that I would also secretly change my magic?
Over time, I've been thinking, when you unknowingly lose all the cultivation you gained from me unjustly, will you still be able to maintain the demeanor and composure you had when you deceived me?
What does it feel like to go through all the trouble to become the head of the Zhu family, only to lose it?
My poor daughter, you are going to be used as a pawn in the Zhu family's marriage alliance. On the night before I send you to the Hehuan Sect to become an apprentice, I return to you the white jade lantern hairpin that I have kept hidden for so many years.
I hope Senior Sister Miaoyin can see the little pouch on your waist. I hope she still remembers me, her restless junior sister. I hope she will take good care of you within the sect. Best of luck.
The entire cultivation world says I am the most outstanding female cultivator in the Hehuan Sect. I am rumored to be the most beautiful woman in the world, and the Ice Maiden, the number one beauty. But I have finally been lost in the passage of time and was misplaced in an untimely love.
