The useless second daughter of the Hua family

When Xiuzhu received the news and rushed back to Lingxi Valley, Lingxi had been in the lower world for many years. Pi Fu had been in seclusion since then, recovering from her serious injury. The peach tree still hadn't transformed, and there was still only that one pink flower on the tree. But with its support, the mountain protection formation in the valley could operate normally.

When the little demons saw their big brother coming back, they finally felt like they had a backbone. They rushed to him and told him everything about the time he was away.

Xiuzhu looked at Taoshu with a complicated expression, "Now that you have obtained the power of elder sister, you should work hard to live up to her expectations and not let her down."

The peach blossoms glowed slightly, as if responding to the tall bamboos.

He then said to all the little demons: "During this period when the mountain master is away, everyone should practice diligently. Do not wander around randomly or cause trouble."

After getting everyone's promise, Xiuzhu nodded in satisfaction. He turned to Taoshu again and said, "I am going back to the Purple Bamboo Forest. My sister hopes that I will be free from the demon list, and I will not let her down. You must protect everything in the valley."

The peach tree shook, and its branches and leaves gently rubbed the shoulders of the bamboo, as if making a promise.

Xiuzhu left with peace of mind, but this was the most regretful thing in his life.

After who knows how many years, Tao Yao finally transformed into a human. She was dressed in white clothes as white as snow, with long black hair like a waterfall. She had a face that was so beautiful that it was hard to tell whether it was male or female, and a pair of peach blossom eyes with a faint pink glow. With just a faint look, everything around her would lose its color.

Siming was entrusted by Lingxi to look after the people in the valley. He felt the powerful fluctuation of spiritual power. He saw this scene as soon as he entered the valley. He couldn't help but sigh, it's true that what kind of person raises what kind of tree, this tree grows exactly according to Lingxi's preferences!

Siming told him that Lingxi was experiencing her last life, but something was wrong. It might be her last life. In this life, she had a similar personality to her original self, decisive and self-centered, which indirectly led to her being trapped in the secret realm. Even if he found out and made timely remedies, the male protagonist who was supposed to be rescued by her during the training was already living with another woman.

He prepared it for her based on her preferences, and he was sure she would fall in love with it at first sight and suffer from lovesickness. But now he didn't know where to find a replacement...

There is a ready-made one right in front of him! He looked straight at it and asked, "How about you go there?"

Siming feels guilty for kidnapping young children by taking them to the mortal world while they are still ignorant.

At this time, Hua Yao was keen on collecting various array diagrams. Seeing the man trapped in the array, she was eager to rescue him. At first glance, she was amazed.

"Sir, what's your name? Where are you from?"

"I am a peach demon." He believes that he is not a god or a human at the moment, so he can barely be considered a demon.

"Is that the peach tree that is so beautiful and radiant?"

"Uh... maybe." He didn't understand, but since she said yes, then it must be.

"What a name that suits you."

Tao Yao was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of Hua Yao. He was still used to being leaned on and hugged by her as before without having to think about how to respond.

He didn't understand the plots that Siming was talking about, but just instinctively followed Hua Yao. It's hard not to be moved by a man who is both talented and handsome, and is willing to accompany you through mountains and rivers, through hardships and dangers, and to save you time and time again.

Just before Hua Yao was about to break the window paper between them, Siming found Tao Yao.

"The time has come for you to take the next step."

Tao Yao felt a sense of accomplishment in helping Lingxi return to his place. But when he saw Hua Yao's hurt eyes, that joy disappeared. He couldn't tell why, he just didn't want to see the stars in her eyes disappear.

According to Siming's arrangement, he had a wife and a pair of children. It was Siming who tampered with the memory of a senior official in the capital, causing him to give birth to a daughter out of thin air, and created several puppets to replace them. Siming didn't dare to really let him marry in the mortal world, otherwise when Lingxi came back, she would know that he had fooled her child like this, and would definitely skin him alive.

During those days, he had been by her side in secret, watching her rise from decadence to recovery, from frustration to awakening. In three years, she became a world-famous figure.

Siming found him again and said, "That's enough. If you let her transcend any further, she will soon embark on another path of cultivation."

Then, there were rumors that Hanba was causing trouble, and Hua Yao was summoned to the capital, where he met Taoyao again.

The two fought side by side and cooperated well, as if they had returned to those years.

When Hua Yao was still immersed in the passionate memories of the past, Tao Yao's sword piercing her chest shocked her. She looked up at him unwillingly, with countless questions in her heart but couldn't say them out. At this moment, she finally believed that Tao Yao really didn't have her in his heart.

Tao Yao was frozen in place by her last cold gaze. Siming told him, "The thunder tribulation is coming. Take her to a high place. When her spirit is restored, she will understand."

Thunderclouds had already covered the sky, Tao Yao picked up Hua Yao and went to the top of the mountain.

The body in his hand suddenly rose into the air and floated horizontally in the air. As the thunderbolts struck down one after another, Hua Yao, or Ling Xi, gradually regained consciousness. She looked down at Tao Yao, and the memories of many lifetimes mixed in her mind. The heartache and unwillingness of being hurt again and again were superimposed together, and finally turned into Tao Yao's indifferent face.

Sima Ming made a thousand calculations, but still made a mistake. This is the Soul Devouring Cliff. The thunder not only awakened Lingxi, but also aroused countless resentful souls at the bottom of the cliff. At this moment, Lingxi's soul was unstable, his memory was incomplete, and he was completely driven by resentment.

"Lingxi, wake up. When the heavenly tribulation is over and your mind is clear, you will understand everything." Siming went forward regardless of the danger, but was slapped away by Lingxi.

Lingxi couldn't hear anything now. She looked at Taoyao who was standing there alone.

"You lied to me and hurt me, I don't blame you, I just want to ask you, are you sincere to me at all?"

"I... I don't understand." Tao Yao was like a child who had made a mistake. He looked at Lingxi stiffly and worriedly, not knowing what to do.

"Yeah, a piece of wood, how can it have a heart? I'm stupid." Lingxi sneered, she turned around and fell towards the bottom of the cliff resolutely.

"No!" Tao Yao wanted to pull her away, but the thunderbolts that followed struck him, and his heavenly tribulation came. He was trapped in the thunder net and could not move. He could only watch Lingxi disappear at the bottom of the cliff. Xiuzhu and Pifu, who came over, threw themselves on the edge of the cliff and cried heartbreakingly.

An old god fell, and a new god was born.

Siming comforted him, saying that everything was destined and that he didn't need to think too much. But Taoyao didn't want to give up. He used his spiritual sense to explore the entire bottom of the cliff, and finally felt a trace of breath from a crystal. He quietly buried the crystal on a barren mountain and nurtured it with his own original power. He hoped to create a miracle.

During this time, Xiuzhu came to see him. He was completely different from his usual self. He cursed at him and even punched and kicked him, attacking him desperately. But Taoyao was a god now, and his actions had no effect on Taoyao except for bringing punishment to himself. Later, he stopped coming.

Tao Yao was standing there alone, wondering what the problem was, but he still didn't understand.

He thought, maybe Lingxi was right, because he had no heart.
