The cheat system is useless, but I have the strongest living dad.

Tu Ruanruan had a wonderful dream all night. When she opened her eyes, she saw her second brother sitting on the carpet, smiling at her with his eyes narrowed.

Tu Xiaoxiao: "Third sister slept very well last night."

Tu Ruanruan sat up and stretched, feeling refreshed: "It feels so good, I wish she would rub my tail every day."

She smiled at Tu Xiaoxiao, deliberately envying him: "It's a pity that Second Brother is a male fox, so he can't enjoy this kind of feeling."

Tu Xiaoxiao said calmly, "Once I've lured her to be your second sister-in-law, I'll never let her rub your tail again."

Tu Ruanruan rolled her eyes at him, stood up, and walked out barefoot: "Second brother, I bet you can't steal him."

Tu Ruanruan was so certain because she sensed that when Shen Yao stroked her tail last night, she didn't treat her as a cultivator, but simply as a non-aggressive beast.

Ultimately, it was a difference in race. The fairy regarded her as a strange beast, and naturally she regarded her second brother as a strange beast as well.

The head of the Tu family arrived at Xiaoxiang Garden early in the morning. It is unknown what he had a private conversation with Huo Die. He came with a stern face, but left with a big smile.

In front of them, the head of the Tu family specifically instructed Tu Xiaoxiao to take good care of the distinguished guests.

Shen Yao asked curiously, "Dad, what did you talk about with him?"

Huo Die muttered to himself, "It's nothing. I did a divination for him and told him that the Tu family will have a Nine-Tailed Fox Lord in three hundred years."

"Their family hasn't produced a demon lord in 20,000 years, so they're naturally overjoyed to hear this news today."

Shen Yao asked with skepticism, "Isn't he afraid of being scammed?"

"Hmph!" Huo Die glared at her: "Do you think your father is like you, lying so easily? Your father guarantees it with his Daoist heart, how could he not believe it?"

Shen Yao said with a smile, "Then I will come to Longyuan City again in three hundred years to pet the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox."

Huo Die: "That's wishful thinking."

When Feng Yu returned after changing the medicine, she saw Shen Yao and Huo Die standing under the wisteria tree, chatting and laughing.

He walked straight up to her, and Shen Yao smiled at him, but the smile didn't reach her eyes: "Is the medicine changed? You talk to Father, I didn't practice the Mind-Clearing Technique today, I'm going back to my room first."

Before the immortal lord could say anything, the fairy turned and left quickly.

"What's going on?" Huo Die could tell that something was off between the two of them. His daughter and son-in-law were usually very affectionate, and this was the first time he had seen his daughter so cold to her son-in-law.

Feng Yu felt terrible and didn't know how to explain it to her father-in-law.

Huo frowned inquiringly, "What did you do?"

Feng Yu felt that the root of the problem lay in his slip of the tongue last night: "Last night I asked her if she lived in hatred in her past life."

Upon hearing this, Huo Die's expression darkened: "What did she say?"

Feng Yu: "She said she forgot."

The father-in-law and son-in-law fell silent for a moment.

After a long silence, Feng Yu asked, "Father, can you tell me everything you know?"

Huo Die refused: "She doesn't want you to know."

Feng Yu tentatively inquired, "Are you having a hard time?"

Huo Dieshun glanced at the falling petals: "This is bad, very bad."

Huo Die felt very guilty. It was all his negligence that led to her being trapped in a terrible prison, surrounded by evil spirits.

"Put away your curiosity." Huo Die said seriously, "Don't ask again. Her past life is gone, all she needs to do in this life is be a good goose boat."

Feng Yu felt both regretful and heartbroken: "I understand."

"If you harbor resentment because of this..." Huo Die's tone carried a hint of threat.

"I didn't." The immortal lord anxiously proved his loyalty: "I only regret that I couldn't participate in her past life and couldn't protect her."

"There is no best." Huo Die flew towards the wisteria tree at the innermost part of the courtyard. With a flick of his leg, he kicked the eight-tailed fox that was eavesdropping in the tree. Wisteria flowers fell to the ground, and the eight-tailed fox fell flat on its back.

Huo Die looked down at him with disdain: "You concealed your aura well, but unfortunately, when you were smirking just now, your breathing was a beat too far off. You still need to practice more."

Tu Xiaoxiao was caught off guard by the fall. After hearing this, she was completely convinced and put on a big smile, shamelessly praising, "Immortal Venerable is indeed amazing. Xiaoxiao thanks Immortal Venerable for your guidance."

The wisteria blossoms are a sight to behold, and every view offers a unique perspective.

Viewing the scenery from the courtyard wall, from the courtyard itself, from the corridor, or from the window, each view offers a unique flavor and charm.

Feng Yu walked slowly and hugged Shen Yao from behind, who was standing by the window. Her gentle voice carried a hint of grievance: "I'm going to stay at the pharmacy tonight. My wife will avoid me for three days, and then for about a month, you won't have to avoid me anymore."

The fairy's voice was calm: "I will go with you."

Feng Yu: "No, I don't want you to see it. Besides, the flesh-cutting treatment will take place in ten days, and the scene will be terrifying. You're already avoiding me now. What if you see that and never want to see me again?"

Shen Yao pried the hand off her waist, turned around and looked up at him, her eyes slightly tired: "Yunhe, what do I have to do for you to believe that I won't change my mind just because your appearance has changed?"

"Can't you be a little more confident? Even if you have scars on your face and body, you're still handsome."

"Besides, aren't you being treated now? Once you're fully healed, you'll still be that dignified and virtuous immortal lord."

No matter what she said, Feng Yu would never let her go: "Then my wife, rest assured and wait for me here for a month. After a month, I will return to you a bright and handsome husband."

He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulled her into his embrace, and whispered in her ear, "Just as my wife doesn't care about my appearance, I will love you no matter what you look like. When I return from the pharmacy, you must not avoid me anymore."

Shen Yao couldn't stand his gentle coaxing. She liked him, liked him a lot, and she also felt bad when they were arguing.

Since her husband had offered her a way out, she accepted it, though it felt a little awkward. She looked away and said, "I wasn't avoiding you."

Feng Yu's eyes were filled with tenderness, and he chuckled softly, "Alright, alright, it's my fault for avoiding you these past few days. It's my fault for starting my cultivation early in the morning, deliberately avoiding mealtimes, and always rolling to the side at night. It's my fault, okay?"

After being thoroughly recounted by him, Shen Yao felt utterly ashamed and angry. She gritted her teeth and used all her strength to ram her head into his chest.

"Ah!" Feng Yu took a step back, clutching his chest: "It hurts so much, my wife is trying to murder her husband."

The fairy retorted confidently, "If you say another word, I'll bump into you again!"

The immortal lord raised an eyebrow, his phoenix eyes widened, and he made a wronged and helpless expression, stretching out his arms: "Come on, bump into me. If my wife is angry, bump into me a few more times. No matter how much it hurts, my wife will feel sweet in my heart."

Shen Yao, embarrassed and annoyed, called him by his name: "Feng Yu! You've been studying with that vixen?!"

A conflict that started without any arguments lasted for several days, but the couple reconciled as before. After all, they had been in love for many years and couldn't bear to see each other upset.

When Feng Yu was about to go to the pharmacy that evening, the two of them were inseparable, their affection unwavering, and they kept exchanging sweet nothings.

Huo Die shook his head, feeling a pang of bitterness. He was once again thankful that he had cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness. Romantic feelings were such a troublesome and sour thing! Luckily, he didn't have to get involved.

The path of ruthlessness is good; with a mind free of distractions, the meaning of the path is elevated, transcending personal feelings, and boundless love prevails.
