Chapter 194 Shuxue's Past
Unexpectedly, An Youdao's expression brightened. He snorted coldly, "Indeed, I have been famous in the continent for a long time. I will not argue with a little girl."
He looked at the direction Luo Li left and said coldly, "Besides, the most important thing for alchemy is skills and experience. We are not like those weapon refiners who rely so much on spiritual fire."
Then he raised his head proudly, walked to the seat on the meditation island and sat down.
The elders he brought with him sat in the ordinary seats behind him.
The weapon refiners present immediately frowned. What did this old man mean?! What did he mean by saying that weapon refiners relied on spiritual fire? Was he saying that weapon refiners didn't need skill to refine weapons?!
The people of Jiuding Mountain also looked unhappy. When it came to the election for the next master of Jingxin Island, they would rather vote for An Youdao than for a dog!
Mo Hongtu put down his hand, tsk, An Youdao is really a brainless person.
Luo Xiong turned his head to look outside the hall, straightened his expression, and sat down.
Behind the Changle Palace, in an empty alley.
Time was limited, so Luo Li hurriedly asked, "Shuxue, what's going on with An Youdao?"
Bei Mingyu and Mu Ze also looked at An Shuxue at the same time.
An Shuxue felt something was wrong when she saw him. He was obviously her father, but he felt like an enemy.
An Shuxue took a deep breath, raised her eyes, and said with determination, "My father is An Youdao, the deputy island master of Jingxin Island, and my mother is... a super divine beast on the edge of Beiming Cangyuan."
As she spoke, Luo Li and the other two gradually understood why An Shuxue had that attitude towards An Youdao and why she fled from Jingxin Island.
An Shuxue's mother is a nine-star super-divine beast, the Fire Phoenix, who fell in love with the young An Youdao at first sight at the edge of Cangyuan.
The two quickly fell in love.
According to An Shuxue, An Youdao also truly loved her mother at the beginning, so why did he change later?
As an alchemist, An Youdao's talent when he was young could be called a genius. However, after he turned seventy, he had not made any progress for many years and he couldn't help but become impatient.
He thought of the divine fire, but the divine fire was not something so easy to find. The divine fires on the continent were all the innate spiritual fires of the nine-star super beasts of the fire element.
The divine fire that was born naturally from heaven and earth is so powerful that you probably won’t be able to find even a single cluster of it even if you search the entire continent.
So he turned his attention to the Fire Phoenix's innate divine fire, hoping that the divine fire could help him improve his alchemist strength again.
But Huo Fenghuang was unwilling. At that time, An Youdao was still rational and had feelings for Huo Fenghuang, so he had to give up the idea.
Nineteen years ago, after An Shuxue was born, An Youdao changed completely. He felt that he had something to restrain the Fire Phoenix.
He initially wanted to sign a contract with the Fire Phoenix to obtain her innate divine fire.
But the Fire Phoenix didn't want to. Even if this man was her partner, she didn't want to be controlled by humans.
Since the Fire Phoenix was unwilling, An Youdao had other cruel methods.
An Youdao used a trick to imprison the Fire Phoenix in the dungeon. The Nine-Star Super Divine Beast had no way to force it to sign the contract. When he needed the divine fire, he dragged An Shuxue to the dungeon and tortured her in front of the Fire Phoenix.
The Phoenix wept, and each time it could only transfer the divine fire to him for a period of time.
Huo Fenghuang was still unwilling to sign a master-servant contract with him, and could only use this method to exchange for some simple and happy days for Xiao Shuxue.
However, this method is ultimately against the will of heaven and greatly damages the Fire Phoenix's essence. Her body gradually weakens.
An Shuxue would sometimes sneak into the dungeon to peek at her mother.
Although the Fire Phoenix was covered with scars, it still gave An Shuxue a gentle smile, and the Phoenix's tail feathers brushed against her cheek.
Fire Phoenix spoke in a hoarse voice, "My child, from now on, your name will be Shuxue, okay?"
Little Shuxue didn't understand the meaning of her name. She just leaned against her mother's gentle shoulder and said softly, "Okay. Shuxue likes mother."
An Shuxue took out a phoenix feather that was still hot from the space ring, with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.
Luo Li couldn't help but turn her head away and lower her eyes.
A trace of regret also flashed in Bei Mingyu and Mu Ze's eyes. They never thought that An Shuxue would have such an experience.
Luo Li's voice was a little hoarse, "Shuxue, she..."
"He died." An Shuxue looked up at the night sky, "When I was twelve years old."
Perhaps it was because of An Youdao's instruction, or perhaps it was because the arrogant super beast could no longer bear such a dark and gloomy day.
On such a bright spring day, the Fire Phoenix burned itself with all its might.
The shadow of a fire phoenix appeared in the sky above Jingxin Island. Its bright color only existed in the sky for a moment.
The proud phoenix should soar in the sky, instead of submitting to despicable humans like An Youdao.
This is also the best ending An Shuxue could think of.
She was young and ignorant, and did not have the ability to rescue her mother. This was the regret of her life.
Luo Li gently hugged An Shuxue, her voice softer than ever before, "Shuxue, I'm so sorry..."
It touched upon your sorrow.
"I didn't intend to hide it from you." An Shuxue shrugged, smiled and hugged Luo Li, "Besides, I later showed my talent for alchemy, and the island owner protected me, so my life on the island wasn't too difficult for the next few years."
After learning about the relationship between An Shuxue and her father, Luo Li and the other two looked unhappy.
Mu Ze gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to kill that old guy!"
An Shuxue burst into laughter and pulled Mu Ze closer, "Okay, Mu Ze, today is a big day. It's not worth it to be impulsive for someone like him."
Luo Li's eyes were cold, "Shuxue, Barrett can kill him."
Without any effort.
An Shuxue quickly held Luo Li down, "Ali, you are not an impulsive person."
Luo Li glanced at her and said, "I can be."
An Shuxue looked at the three friends in front of her seriously, "I can take revenge on my own, A Li, believe me."
Luo Li gritted her teeth slightly. An Shuxue was a little anxious, afraid that she would really kill An Youdao at the state banquet in a moment of impulse, "A Li!"
Luo Li clenched her fists slightly and finally nodded, "Okay..."
An Shuxue breathed a sigh of relief, touched Luo Li's little head, and felt healed in an instant.
Luo Li smoothed the messy hair on top of her head with an expressionless face.
Forget it, it won’t hurt to let her touch it.
An Shuxue felt a little guilty. Bei Mingyu and Mu Ze were ready to make a move, but Luo Li gave them a look and the two men immediately became obedient.
She pressed her forehead and said, "Okay, let's go back first."
"good."
Walking back into the hall, Luo Li calmed her breath a few times to avoid being stabbed by An Youdao. She walked as fast as the wind and ignored him and sat down.
An Shuxue and the other two also lowered their eyes and sat down in the ordinary seats behind Luo Li.
The sky had completely darkened and the full moon was high in the sky.
Suddenly, a deep voice came from outside the hall.
"His Majesty the Emperor Mo has arrived!"
"Queen Mu Ling, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and His Royal Highness the Princess have arrived!"
