Looking around, the cell was unusually large, with huge iron bars gleaming coldly in the dim torchlight. A cold wind howled in from the windows; he had no warm clothes, his hands were empty, and there was only a pile of straw beside him.
"Did he die a terrible death?" Ji Xiaoxiao murmured to herself, lost in endless sorrow over the passing years.
Looking at the Dissolving Power Powder and the Spirit-Severing Pill in Su Jieke's hand, Ji Xiaoxiao's mind flashed with the various miraculous effects of these two elixirs. As the name suggests, the Dissolving Power Powder, with just a tiny bit of powder, could burn away a person's entire life's cultivation and spiritual power.
There's always someone stronger, and there's always someone better. Compared to the malevolent power-dissolving powder, the spirit-severing pill is nothing. If one takes the power-dissolving powder and cultivates diligently, one might one day return to the peak. But the spirit-severing pill severs the spiritual root, cuts off the path to immortality, and condemns one to a mediocre life.
For cultivators, the loss of all their cultivation by using the Dissolving Power Pill is tolerable, but the Severing Spirit Pill, which severs their spiritual roots and cuts off their path to immortality, is tantamount to holding a knife to someone's throat. Ji Xiaoxiao wasn't very clear about the rules of the cultivation world, but without strength, no matter where she was, she was always in the wrong.
Ji Xiaoxiao cultivated the Dao Heaven, and her spiritual energy was abundant, so the whip wounds were no longer a major problem. The only difficulty was the cage made of extraterrestrial meteorite iron, which Ji Xiaoxiao, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, could not break with her bare hands.
"Su Mali, have you thought it through? Do you want to die a gruesome death, or do you obediently take the Dissolving Power Powder and the Soul-Severing Pill and live a wretched life?" Su Jie patted the cold iron rod, startling Ji Xiaoxiao out of her deep thoughts.
"It's better to live a wretched life than to die a good death. Even ants cherish life. How could our peerless genius, Miss Su Mali, be inferior to an ant?" Su Jieke, unusually kind, offered his words of comfort.
Blood relatives, flesh and blood. Su Jieke still harbored some genuine feelings for the original owner, Su Mali, and couldn't bear to see Ji Xiaoxiao die. He couldn't bring himself to do it unless absolutely necessary.
"Su Jieke, I've been good enough to you. Whenever someone bullies or beats you, I'm always the one who stands up for you. You've already disregarded our years of sibling relationship and spoken ill of me for the sake of some unrelated outsider, but you've also attacked me multiple times without any restraint. Su Jieke, I'm your sister!" Ji Xiaoxiao grabbed a straw beside her and threw it at Su Jieke, her face contorted with rage as she screamed at him at the top of her lungs.
What exactly is the cultivation of immortality? For thousands of years, the original owner couldn't see or fathom it. Deeply rooted in inner demons, during his tribulation and ascension, he suffered the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation, resulting in the destruction of both his physical body and soul. This was due to Huang Yanheng's demonic influence, and also the result of the Su family's indifference and cold indifference. Despite cultivating to sever emotions and resolve, the original owner was ultimately just a mortal with a mortal body.
"When we were children, you clearly loved me the most. You would give me whatever I wanted. Does everything and everyone change when we grow up?" Ji Xiaoxiao couldn't contain her emotions and tears streamed down her face.
The original owner's childhood memories show that Su Jieke truly deserves the title of "the best older brother in the world".
"Su Jieke, tell me the truth, let me die knowing why!" Ji Xiaoxiao retracted her limbs, her calm demeanor as cold as ice, her red eyes pleading with Su Jieke for mercy.
First, it screamed and yelled hysterically, then it became disheartened and fearless. Su Jieke was terrified and staggered back a few steps. After calming himself down, Su Jieke stood still, glanced at the Dissolving Power Powder and the Spirit-Severing Pill in his hand, and fear and hesitation returned to his heart.
"What truth? Su Mali, are you going to spout nonsense again? Yes, Su Mali is lying, I can't believe her, I won't believe anything she says." Su Jack threw the Dissolving Power Powder and the Spirit-Severing Pill into the cage and said madly, "Go to hell, Su Mali, go to hell, you big liar should go to hell."
Ji Xiaoxiao witnessed Su Jieke's madness. Perhaps something happened that the original owner was unaware of, which caused the two siblings, who were once deeply in love, to turn against each other and loathe each other.
"Brother." Ji Xiaoxiao tried calling out, but Su Jieke trembled and said angrily, "Shut up, who is your brother? Don't make up relatives."
Upon hearing the word "brother," Su Jieke reacted like a cat with its fur standing on end, ready to bite anyone in sight. Ji Xiaoxiao, having traced the root of the problem, wouldn't let it go so easily. "Su Jieke, please, tell me why. Why do you wish me dead?"
Su Jieke took a few deep breaths to calm her agitated emotions. After hesitating for a moment, her expression suddenly became resolute. "You are not my sister, not my biological sister. You are just a treacherous little person who has taken up residence in another's home."
"Not her biological sister?" Ji Xiaoxiao pondered. "That's impossible. Su Changsheng and Huang Liuyi seem very shrewd. Who could possibly take their precious daughter away from them?"
"What's wrong? So shocked you can't speak? If you don't want people to know, don't do it in the first place. There are no secrets in this world. Su Mali, you're not a member of my Su family, so why should I be nice to you? You eat my Su family's food, drink my Su family's water, and all the pills and magic treasures you use for cultivation—aren't they all from my Su family? If I beat you or bully you, it's just to take back what belongs to my Su family. Even if I wanted you dead, you would still die. Who told you to owe the Su family?" Su Jack said excitedly.
Unlike the mad and arrogant Su Jieke, Ji Xiaoxiao calmly said, "Su Jieke, you don't think I'll believe your nonsense based on just your word, do you?"
Su Jieke shrugged, a mysterious smile on his face. "I heard it with my own ears."
Su Jieke pointed to his ear, bent down slightly, and leaned his head toward Ji Xiaoxiao, saying, "I heard what my father and mother said with my own ears."
Suddenly, a cold glint flashed in Ji Xiaoxiao's eyes.
Su Changsheng and Huang Liuyi were confused and preoccupied, unaware that they were "discussing important matters" behind the backs of their only two children.
