201: Don't be a rogue or a hooligan

“Alas!”

Seeing her like this, the Zi Xia Holy Daughter didn't know what to say.

Comfort her? It seemed useless.

Help her reshape her Dao Heart? She herself… couldn't do it.

For a moment, the Zi Xia Holy Daughter felt quite useless herself.

She also sat down, hugging her knees, her fair, jade-like ankles exposed from beneath her purple skirt.

“Yaoxi, I don’t know what you’re thinking right now.”

“But you must understand one thing, your current cultivation… has already fallen.”

The Zi Xia Holy Daughter bit her lip, feeling it was necessary to let Yao Ruoxi know the seriousness of the situation.

However, Yao Ruoxi seemed not to have heard.

Cultivation… is cultivation really that important?

Does the future really matter that much?

Seeing her silence, the Zi Xia Holy Daughter gritted her teeth and said, “Yaoxi, you must know that in this world, martial cultivation is the foundation. From my own perspective, if my Dao Heart were shattered and my cultivation damaged like yours, my position in Zixia Holy Land would definitely be affected.”

“Even my Revered Master, the Saint Lord of Zixia Holy Land, might not be able to preserve my status as Holy Daughter.”

She grabbed Yao Ruoxi’s hand and said, “Besides that man, do you not have your own pursuits? Mortal love is only one aspect of human pursuit. Don’t you want to reach the peak of martial arts and seek eternal life?”

Yao Ruoxi’s eyes dimmed, as if she had heard a few words, and she murmured:

“What’s the difference between a lifetime of only cultivating and working a job? You don’t achieve eternal life, and you even lose the person you love…”

The Zi Xia Holy Daughter frowned.

What nonsense is this?

She straightened her face and coldly snorted, “Why are you so weak?”

“Where did that ruthlessness go when you backstabbed Chu Ying?”

Hearing this, Yao Ruoxi turned her head and stared blankly at the Zi Xia Holy Daughter.

Tears unconsciously streamed from her eyes.

Yao Ruoxi was dazed, crying, “I’m sorry… it’s my fault…”

The Zi Xia Holy Daughter was speechless again and couldn't help but say, “Even if you know it’s your fault, what then? Chu Ying won’t forgive you.”

“Being self-pitying like this, hiding here regretting and crying, will only make him look down on you more, and disdain you even more!”

“If you have the guts, go stand before him and make him look at you properly!”

Yao Ruoxi looked confused, mumbling, “Go before him… but he already treats me as a stranger now… unwilling to look at me again…”

“That’s his business!” The Zi Xia Holy Daughter twitched her lips.

“If he doesn’t want to see you, that’s his business. You can be shameless, you know, it’s not just men who can be shameless.”

Shamelessness…

A glimmer of light rose in Yao Ruoxi’s forlorn autumn eyes, and she whispered, “If I’m shameless with him, will he throw me away? I’m not afraid of making a fool of myself… not afraid of criticism… as long as he’s willing to forgive me…”

“Uh, this…”

The Zi Xia Holy Daughter thought about it and couldn’t really say for sure.

After all, in the Immortal Tomb at that time, she felt that Chu Ying was exceptionally cold towards Yao Ruoxi, even colder than a stranger.

Logically speaking, the two had a childhood sweetheart relationship for more than ten years; in fact, they grew up together since childhood.

Didn’t Yaoxi say that she and Chu Ying were both raised by an old beggar? It wasn’t until the old beggar died at the age of seven that they truly relied on each other.

Such a long and fervent emotion.

Yet Chu Ying treated Yao Ruoxi like that, which shows he must have been hurt terribly to be so.

Thinking of this, the Zi Xia Holy Daughter sighed softly.

To be honest, Chu Ying was not wrong at all. Why should he forgive someone who betrayed him?

Deep love leads to deep hatred. In Chu Ying’s view, the best way to deal with deep hatred is to completely sever ties.

But then again, who made Yao Ruoxi the sister she had finally met?

Perhaps she herself had a special affection for Yao Ruoxi.

So no matter what, she wouldn't just watch Yao Ruoxi fall into such degradation.

“Being shameless is indeed not very good… However, if you can become stronger than him, you won't need to be shameless.”

The Zi Xia Holy Daughter’s eyes suddenly lit up as she said.

Yao Ruoxi stared blankly at her.

Become stronger than Chu Ying?

“Hey, hey, hey! Yaoxi, don’t think you can’t do it, okay? People need motivation! If you don’t have motivation, how can you get Chu Ying’s forgiveness?”

“Once you become stronger than Chu Ying, you don’t need to be shameless with him, you can just be a hooligan to him!”

A triumphant smile appeared on the Zi Xia Holy Daughter’s beautiful and sacred face, seemingly quite pleased with her idea.

“Be a… hooligan?” Yao Ruoxi was a bit confused.

“Exactly! Although… you did betray him and hurt him deeply, you are still pure and unblemished, aren’t you?”

The Zi Xia Holy Daughter stared straight at Yao Ruoxi.

Yao Ruoxi didn't understand what the Zi Xia Holy Daughter meant, but she nodded heavily and murmured, “Yes, I once thought Ye Junfan possessed the Ancient Sacred Body and would be the Son of Heavenly Mandate, so I gave up on Chu Ying and bet on him…”

“But even so, I never had any… contact with that Ye Junfan.”

The Zi Xia Holy Daughter nodded and said, “Mm-hmm, that’s right, you didn’t… *cough cough*, I might not be saying it nicely, but anyway, it’s those two words… you didn’t make a principled mistake, right?”

Yao Ruoxi heard her words and understood what she was saying, and couldn't help but regain some energy.

“Of course not!”

Yao Ruoxi gritted her teeth. Although she thought Ye Junfan might be the Son of Heavenly Mandate, she wouldn't mindlessly offer herself up, as she couldn't be 100% sure.

And indeed, something unexpected happened. The so-called Ancient Sacred Body had developed inner demons, changed greatly in temperament, and suffered continuous setbacks. How could he be the Son of Heavenly Mandate?

“Then there’s still a chance to salvage it.”

The Zi Xia Holy Daughter’s eyes sparkled, saying, “As long as you can become stronger than Chu Ying, when that time comes, you approach him and just be a hooligan to him, what can he do?”

“Suppose you are now a Saint Lord Realm Cultivator, and Chu Ying is just a Cave Heaven Realm. Do you think he could resist you?”

“You don’t care if he forgives you or not… Isn’t there a saying, ‘Love comes with time’?”

Towards the end, the Zi Xia Holy Daughter herself blushed a little.

Yao Ruoxi, however, truly took it to heart.

She shouldn’t hope for Chu Ying’s forgiveness, but rather first keep up with his pace. Chu Ying’s talent was higher than hers, and after his transformation, he was immeasurable.

If she were to fall, she would only be left further and further behind, and then there would truly be no chance at all.

Just as Zi Xia said… she wouldn’t seek forgiveness, only to be able to follow him, even if he truly didn’t care about her anymore.

But as long as she cared about him, that would be fine too.

“Breakthrough to Saint Lord Realm… stronger than Chu Ying…”

Yao Ruoxi’s dim autumn eyes gradually brightened, and a shimmering glow appeared.

Her thoughts became clearer and clearer, and her obsession became more and more distinct.

Chu Ying could not care about her, but as long as she cared about him, that was enough.

At this moment, Yao Ruoxi's shattered Dao Heart slowly reshaped, undergoing a breathtaking transformation and Nirvana.
