"Very well! You're very good! You're truly a good daughter I've raised! It seems the previous punishments and lessons haven't taught you a lesson." Huanyu was furious.
His daughter, whom he had carefully nurtured since childhood, was exceptionally talented, all so that one day she could lead the gods to eradicate the demons.
Now she's actually standing against him, rebelling against him and defying him for the sake of the demons.
"Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite." Huan Yu condensed a handprint and slapped it towards Fu Lizhi.
Fu Chishang wanted to go up and help, but she pushed him aside and blocked the blow from Huanyu's wrath all by herself.
"Pfft!" Blood spilled from Fu Lizhi's mouth, and her body was sent flying.
Seeing this, Ruan Xiyan's eyes showed a trace of worry. As if possessed, she stepped forward and helped Fu Lizhi, who was stumbling backward.
"Healing pills." Ruan Xiyan handed her a pill. "I am a member of the Demon Clan. If you don't believe me, then forget it."
Fu Lizhi did not hesitate and took the pill, and her injuries began to heal rapidly.
She looked at Ruan Xiyan, who was so close to her, raised her hand slightly, and touched her face, involuntarily calling out a name, "Xiao Xi".
Before she even realized it, tears were already streaming down her face.
Seeing Fu Lizhi's strange expression, Ruan Xiyan was about to say something when Fu Lizhi suddenly let out a painful growl and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Sister!"
Fu Lizhi was momentarily dazed, and the aversion cone within her body loosened slightly. Suddenly, some memories flooded her mind.
She looked at Ruan Xiyan beside her, her eyes filled with tears, "Xiao Xi, my daughter, I actually forgot about you."
"Ruan Xiyan," Fu Lizhi murmured, "I personally chose this name. Xiao Xi, my child, my child!"
Fu Lizhi's tears slid down her face like beads from a broken string.
"Sister, you remembered everything?" Fu Chishang said in surprise.
"Are you really my mother?" Ruan Xiyan looked astonished, somewhat at a loss for words after being shocked by this earth-shattering news.
"Xiaoxi, I am your mother. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I forgot you, I forgot your father, I forgot Haoyang and the others."
The Mind-Avoiding Cone! Could it be that the person with the Mind-Avoiding Cone in her body, as mentioned by Sect Master Fu, is a goddess of the Divine Race, who is also her mother? This would explain why she doesn't remember her past.
But she was a high and mighty goddess of the divine race, how could she be her mother on the mortal continent? Ruan Xiyan couldn't understand it, and her mind was completely blank.
Huanyu listened to their conversation with a solemn expression. Li Zhi had the Mind-Avoiding Cone in her body, so how could she possibly recall what happened during her tribulation?
Moreover, the karmic burden she left behind during her tribulation has somehow arrived on the Nine Provinces Continent, and she has now encountered Li Zhi. What's more, she might even be the reincarnation of the Demon Realm's progenitor.
If he had known this would happen, he would have killed her to prevent future troubles.
Unfortunately, because of his momentary lack of compassion and reluctance, he missed the perfect opportunity to eliminate her, allowing her to grow to this point.
"Li Zhi, wake up! She's a member of the Demon Clan, and you're a member of the God Clan. She has no relation to you. Even if you did, it would only be a life-or-death struggle," Huan Yu said, exasperated.
Fu Lizhi stood in front of Ruan Xiyan, saying, "I don't care if she's a demon or not. I only know that she's my daughter, a piece of my flesh. I would never mistake my own daughter."
"With me here today, no one can harm my Xiaoxi, no one can harm my child, not even you, Father. If you want to touch her, you'll have to kill me first."
“If you think I have no value to the gods, then step over my dead body. I will protect my daughter with my life.”
"Fu Lizhi, you're forcing me!" Huanyu said angrily. "Are you sure I won't kill you?"
“Li Zhi wouldn’t dare.” A mocking glint flashed in Fu Li Zhi’s eyes. “What is it that Father wouldn’t be willing to do? You injected the Mind-Avoiding Cone into my body back then, making me abandon my husband and children.”
"I never thought about the pain I would have to endure. Why didn't you just kill me? You kept me alive not only because I am the most perfect creation you have nurtured, but also because I can bring benefits to the gods and fight for them."
“You are my father, but in your eyes, have you ever truly regarded me as your daughter, or have you treated me as an obedient object that you can manipulate at will?”
"You bastard! I think you've lost your mind. God Kings, seize the Goddess for me!" Huan Yu said.
Fu Lizhi's eyes were sharp. "Father, if you don't want your men to suffer heavy losses, don't act rashly. Otherwise, I can't guarantee how many of them will survive in a desperate fight."
“I can give up and obediently go back to the God Clan with you to be punished, but you have to let Achi and the others leave.”
Looking at Fu Lizhi, who was resigned to her fate, Huanyu glanced at Junyu and the others, his eyes dark. Continuing like this would only result in mutual destruction.
Adding to the unexpected turn of events involving Fu Lizhi, it seems we cannot capture the Demon Lord today; we will have to make other plans later.
“I promise you,” Huanyu replied.
"Sister, I'll go back with you," Fu Chishang said worriedly. If her sister returned to the God Realm now, she would definitely not have a good time.
“No, Achi, you stay. I owe Xiaoxi too much, I’m afraid I can never make up for it in this lifetime. I beg you, sister, to take good care of Xiaoxi for me.” Fu Lizhi refused.
Father won't kill her, but he might kill Achi. If Achi goes back to the God Realm with her, he will not only face immense wrath, but he will also lose his life.
Fu Lizhi looked at Ruan Xiyan and said, "Xiao Xi, I have never fulfilled my responsibilities as a mother for a single day, nor have I ever taken care of you. I have even forgotten about you."
"I don't expect you to forgive me or call me mother, but I want to tell you that you are the child I gave birth to with great anticipation, the apple of my eye."
Fu Lizhi looked at Ruan Xiyan with reluctance, then turned to leave, only to be stopped by a hand.
“I have never blamed you. You had no choice in the matter, Mother,” Ruan Xiyan said.
If she has anyone to blame, it's only the person who separated her family; her mother was also a victim.
Despite the ordeal, her mother risked her life to give birth to her and bring her into this world, so how could she bear to blame her?
"Xiao Xi, what... what did you call me?" Fu Lizhi's eyes reddened.
"Mother, don't go with them. We can fight our way out." Ruan Xiyan gripped Fu Lizhi's wrist tightly.
She had finally gained a mother, and the joy of having regained what she had lost filled her heart; she didn't want to lose her again.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoxi."
She also longed to see her daughter properly and never be separated from her again.
