Shen Ruoxi's heart beat violently and she looked at her daughter.
Could it be that Wanwan already knows something?
When she took Wanwan upstairs to change clothes, she asked a few questions indirectly: "Why did Wanwan just say that as long as she looks good now, it's enough?"
The little girl opened her big grape-like eyes and blinked: "Because Wanwan hasn't grown up yet!"
"Then tell mom Wanwan why you don't want to grow up?" Shen Ruoxi asked again.
Shen Xingwan pursed her lips, as if turning her head: "Wanwan is worried that she won't be able to be Mommy's daughter when she grows up."
Shen Ruoxi was a little surprised: "Why did Wanwan say that?"
The usually cheerful and lively little girl first shook her head silently, then revealed a row of incomplete baby teeth: "Wanwan guessed it!"
After that, no matter what Shen Ruoxi asked, she didn't get the answer she suspected. Perhaps she was too sensitive and thought too much.
It’s actually better that Wanwan doesn’t know about this. She doesn’t want Wanwan to be shrouded in the shadow of death at such a young age.
If Wanwan really could only live to the age of eighteen, she hoped that her daughter could complete this journey without worries.
It is enough for her to bear the pain.
Back on the first floor, Shen Ruoxi originally wanted to cook herself, but Pei Yaozhou, on the grounds that the birthday girl couldn't cook, joined forces with his two children to drive her out.
She had no choice but to return to the bedroom, a place that gave her a sense of security. Sleepiness quietly came over her, and Shen Ruoxi half-lay on the lazy sofa and fell asleep unknowingly.
The jade pendant placed in her pocket also emitted a faint light at this moment.
In the dream, Shen Ruoxi was originally in darkness, but suddenly a light appeared before her eyes.
She subconsciously followed the light and walked forward. Then, she saw a familiar room. She pushed the door open and saw a familiar figure.
"Master!" Shen Ruoxi was delighted. If it was the master, there must be a way to lift the curse for Wanwan.
The old Taoist turned around slowly, still wearing that mischievous smile on his face: "Ruoxi, congratulations!"
Shen Ruoxi was surprised: "Master, why are you congratulating me?"
Did he know that she was married and had children?
Thinking of this, Shen Ruoxi's cheeks became a little hot. Just as she was about to introduce Pei Yaozhou to her master, she heard her master speak again.
"The fact that you're here and can see me means you've successfully completed your mission here and can return to the intersection of your previous life as you wish. Congratulations!"
Shen Ruoxi was stunned, her mind a little confused: "What mission? What does it mean to return to the intersection of the previous life?"
"Ruoxi, you came here to face a calamity. Now that the calamity is over, you can return to where you came from and rewrite your original fate."
"Go to Yuanshan Taoist Temple and take down my portrait. There is a mechanism on the wall. Use my jade pendant to open the mechanism, and you will find the item that will take you back." The old Taoist talked freely.
Shen Ruoxi still stood there in a daze without saying a word. This time it was the old Taoist's turn to be surprised.
"Ruoxi, you don't want to go back, do you?"
Shen Ruoxi pursed her lips. If it were three years ago, she would have been very happy to hear this news and would have chosen to return to her previous life without hesitation.
However, many things are different now. She has formed ties with more and more people in this life, and she can no longer leave everything behind and go back without hesitation.
"Master, I can't go back now."
The old Taoist opened his eyes wide and said, "Can't go back? Girl, have you changed your nature? Can you let go of the life and death of the little emperor?"
Shen Ruoxi was stunned, and suddenly thought of something.
She had read in Pei Yaozhou's diary that the reason she and the little emperor were able to escape the disaster and reincarnate through time was because they met her.
"Master, do you want me to go back to the day when the Qiao family rebelled and change history?"
The old Taoist nodded and said, "That's right. If you hadn't gone back, the little emperor would have died in that fire. As your master, I hope you can live a happy and fulfilling life. As for that kid, let him go!"
"That won't work!" Shen Ruoxi denied it outright. "If the Qiao family rebels, the little emperor will surely die if he can't get out. By then, even Pei Yaozhou will disappear, right?"
"Of course." The old Taoist nodded.
Shen Ruoxi's eyebrows were deeply furrowed. On one side was the little emperor and Pei Yaozhou, and on the other side was her daughter Wanwan. How should she choose?
In the past, the only person she could rely on was her master, and it is still the same now.
"Master, I am married and have two children."
Hearing this, the old Taoist was not surprised, but nodded: "I know."
"You know?" Shen Ruoxi's eyes flickered...? "Then do you know that my daughter Wanwan, cursed by the Chaos, will not live past the age of eighteen?"
The old Taoist looked at Shen Ruoxi, sighed, and nodded again: “I know everything.”
Shen Ruoxi was delighted and excitedly grabbed the old Taoist's sleeve: "You know everything? Master, you are indeed as good as a god! Then you must know how to lift this curse, right?"
The old Taoist waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't talk nonsense, there are many things that your master doesn't know. I can't break this curse."
Seeing this, Shen Ruoxi knew something was up, and she quickly hugged the old Taoist's arm and acted coquettishly: "Master, I am your direct disciple, and I have to call you Grandmaster Wanwan. You can't just watch me die without helping me!"
"When I finish dealing with things here and go back, I will definitely cook a table of delicious food for you, old man, and pair it with palace jade wine, okay?"
The old Taoist's throat churned, but he still refused: "No, no, I didn't lie to you. I really can't save your little girl!"
"You should know, that girl is the daughter of Heaven. Ever since she sealed Chaos three hundred years ago, she has been bound to Chaos for three lifetimes. Now is only the second lifetime. This is her fate and her destiny, and it is not something we can change."
Shen Ruoxi paused, and sat on the ground as if exhausted.
“Is there really no other way?…” Shen Ruoxi lowered her head, her eyes red, and tears fell one by one.
Every time a tear fell, the old Taoist's heart trembled.
Finally, he made a "tsk" sound, as if to give up and said, "Hey, don't cry, little girl. There is still a way out."
Shen Ruoxi looked up at her master: "Really?!"
The old Taoist nodded and said, "There is a way, but you must be mentally prepared. Once you get involved in the cause and effect between them, you will also be involved. What will happen in the future will be unknown."
Shen Ruoxi was very determined: "Wanwan is my daughter. I am willing to do anything for her to grow up safely and healthily!"
The old Taoist sighed and said, "Okay, since you have this awareness, I will tell you the method. If you want to completely solve this problem, the only way is to eliminate it from the source and change the original cause and effect relationship."
"The year the Qiao family rebelled, the Daughter of Heaven and the Reincarnation of Chaos happened to be both thirteen years old. We found them in advance and prevented them from meeting."
"What if they have already met?" Shen Ruoxi asked.
