797 I Don’t Want To Be An Absentee Father (1/2)
Because this question really hit her weak point.
Has she ever thought that she was not just a simple container… Of course she had thought about it, but she never delved deep into it. Because the answer, which sometimes vaguely appeared in her intuition, was chilling.
Feng Ling was a woman with keen intuition. She trusted her intuition, but she never blindly used her intuition. She chose to know what she should know, as for things that she shouldn't know… Ignorance is indeed a bliss.
For example, the old man on the mountain always played the role of father with poor acting skills. He awkwardly and arbitrarily gave her the title of illegitimate daughter, and then tried to render a slightly funny father daughter relationship. However, she had long known that She was not Feng Yin's daughter. The reason why she knew it was very simple, it was already not a secret that the old man was practicing the virgin boy skill, so how could he have any daughter?
Of course, many people also knew that this illegitimate daughter thing was just a disguise, an excuse. The reason why Feng Yin was tolerant to her was that, when the Nine-Tailed Fox ravaged the Spirit Sword Sect more than a hundred years ago, Feng Yin sacrificed an innocent girl and sealed the Nine-Tailed Fox into her body. Then, in order to make up for it, he regarded her as his daughter.
However, Feng Ling had a vague intuition that this explanation was also just a disguise. Feng Yin had spared no effort to act as her father, for decades, even when she had always been cold to him, in order to hide a more important truth.
And this truth, she didn't want to know. Because her life was good enough for her now. Although many people found it boring to live in Spirit Creek Town, she really liked it.
She liked the mountain, the town, her Ru Family Inn--Whether it was empty or full of guests.
Similarly, she liked the courteous closeness of the white bearded old man. She liked to frown at him when he was around, curled her lips at him, talked badly at him, and couldn't help but smile when he turned around.
Of course, she always enjoyed the company of the guy named Wang Lu since she met him.
She liked this kind of life very much. Thus, even if she basically deceived herself, she hoped that life could continue along the current track. But...
No matter how beautiful the dream was, there would still be an end.
”You are not the container, you are the Nine-Tailed Fox. What Feng Yin sealed off was not the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox, but the memory of the Nine-Tailed Fox. He turned you into a mortal, and induced you to do nothing in the inn all your life. You even forgot the hatred of being suppressed and sealed, and instead, acknowledged the thief as the father. Alas, it really hurts me to think about it.”
Poxu laughed and said, ”Of course you would feel this way. Feng Yin had induced you for decades, so it's not surprising that there is such a result. But would you like to hear the answer from the bottom of your heart? ”
”I am me, and I'm not interested in what other people say!”
Poxu said, ”The lifespan of Nine-Tailed Fox is very long. Although you are not fully mature yet, you have actually already spent nearly a thousand years. Your life as Feng Ling is only a very small part of it, so it seems to me that your stubbornness is really ridiculous.”
”Laugh if you want, but I will never give in to you.”
”Really? Then let's give it a try.” With that, Poxu pricked the broken magic needle into Feng Ling's nape.
The next moment, a horrifying evil wind roared up! The rocks in the cave flew out and the sound of the wind was as sharp as a whistle. In the middle of this strong wind, Feng Ling's body trembled violently and she uttered a long and painful cry.
Poxu let go off the needle and then took advantage of the wind power to step back. He watched Feng Ling curled up on the ground, unable to move because of the severe pain.
After a long time, the evil wind finally ceased and Feng Ling's tremble finally stopped, as if the whole person had been immersed in the water.
When she finally raised her head, the girl's eyes had changed color. A touch of seductive red had soaked through her pupils.
When she saw Poxu, the girl smiled slightly and said, ”Thank you Senior Immortal Poxu, I finally recovered my precious thing… After several decades of dreaming, I finally woke up.”
Senior Immortal Poxu said, ”Since you have woken up, do you know what you should do?”
”Of course, I must repay the decades of life that Spirit Sword Sect has given me.”
”Good. You are a Nine-Tailed Fox, you should use more of your brain and magical abilities, no need to go hard and act rashly.
The Nine-Tailed Fox said with a smile, ”Of course, previously, it was recklessness that nearly ruined the big thing. But now, I will not repeat the same mistake… In fact, these decades of experience is not a bad thing. If there were no decades of getting along, it would be quite difficult to go near him.”
”Yes, as Feng Ling, you can do a lot of things before being exposed. Don't let us down again this time.”
”Yes. If Senior Immortal has no other order, I will take my leave.”
Poxu nodded and said, ”You just woke up from a long dream, but you are more awake than expected. Very good. You can go.”
However, when the Nine-Tailed Fox was about to leave, Poxu suddenly opened his mouth and asked a question.
”How much do you think a boiled radish can sell for?”
The Nine-Tailed Fox was startled and said, ”White radish? A few coins is enough.”
”Okay, you can go.”

At the same time, in the sky above the secluded marsh in the desolate land of Blue River Region, a bloody battle was going on.
