She became a god

Even now, Xuehong is still furious when old stories are brought up.

Xue Hong had a smooth and successful life, but his biggest regret in his youth was that he couldn't repair the Ice Soul Sword.

In order to repair the Ice Soul Sword, he traveled through mountains and rivers, visiting countless sword cultivators and craftsmen, searching for someone who could repair the sword for him.

But he searched for more than ten years without finding a trace.

Later, his wife passed away, and his eldest son was often ill, so he had to take on the responsibility of the family.

Xuehong, a first-time father, knew nothing about fatherhood.

Therefore, after accidentally hearing news of a weapons master, he rushed over with the infant Xue Suihan in his arms.

Before the master could be seen, Xue Suihan fell ill, and his illness was very serious.

But he was in Yingdu, a desolate place, without medicine or medical practitioners, so he could only use spiritual medicines like Peiyuan Pills to prolong his child's life.

In his great anxiety, he encountered a girl with weak spiritual power.

The girl was simply dressed and had no magical treasures. She carried a bamboo basket and came down from the mountain, slowly walking to his side.

The girl's medical skills weren't particularly advanced, but they were just enough to cure Xue Suihan's illness.

At that time, the girl would still smile and talk to him, even though she spoke in a dialect he couldn't fully understand, saying things like, "You care so much about the child, you're such a good father!"

How much will your consultation fee be?

The girl held up five fingers, and Xue Hong immediately gave her five hundred high-grade spirit stones and a jade pendant.

"If you need anything, please bring the jade pendant to me. My name is Xuehong, which means flood formed by rain and snow."

The girl happily hugged the bag of spirit stones and introduced herself generously, "My name is Bailu. My color is white, like dewdrops."

If the story ended here, it would be just a small episode in life.

But strangely enough, not long after Xuehong returned to Xuecheng, he met Bailu again.

He initially thought Bai Lu had come with him, but upon inquiring, he learned that she had come to fulfill her marriage contract.

The person she was engaged to was someone Xuehong knew, named Mu Zifang.

At first, Bai Lu and Mu Zifang did not love each other. They were always arguing and bickering, and everyone said they were a mismatched couple.

Actually, Xuehong could no longer clearly remember Bailu's face, but he remembered very clearly that Bailu's smile was always so full of life.

She would enthusiastically talk to herself about the progress of her medical cultivation career, and she would also try her best to find a weapons master for herself.

Even though she didn't know Xuehong's true purpose in finding someone to repair weapons.

Bai Lu, who was actively helping her friends, never imagined that the weapons master she had been searching for would be her father, Bian Ce, whom she had never met.

But the father and daughter did not get along well after they met.

For Bian Ce, Bai Lu was an unexpected event.

To Bai Lu, Bian Ce was a terrible father.

The reason why a scumbag father is a scumbag father is that he feels absolutely no remorse for abandoning his wife and daughter. Instead, he questions Bai Lu: "Since ancient times, marriage has been a major event, decided by parents and matchmakers. Why did you make this decision without consulting your father?"

Bai Lu had been wild since childhood and was not bound by the ethics and norms of Zhongzhou. She was not about to let him show off his power, and immediately retorted, "Because everyone thinks my father is dead!"

This remark infuriated Bian Ce, who immediately went to the Mu family and caused a scene.

Although Bai Lu disliked Mu Zifang as her husband, the Mu family was the marriage alliance her mother had arranged for her.

Seeing that Bian Ce was both a scoundrel and crazy, Bai Lu was really embarrassed to tell others that he was her biological father.

Having this father is worse than not having one.

Unfortunately, his best friend in Snow City, Xue Hong, needed Bian Ce's help and asked him to put up with it for the time being.

Bian Ce is a bad person, but his skills are top-notch.

He actually told Xuehong that swords could be repaired.

This thrilled Xuehong, who immediately treated the man as an honored guest.

Seeing that Xue Hong could chat and laugh with Bian Ce so easily, and even seem to appreciate each other, Bai Lu suddenly felt that her friend had become a bit of a stranger.

Feeling lingering fear, Bai Lu chose to distance herself from Xue Hong and went out to do business with Mu Zifang.

It has been ten years since I left.

The next time we met was at Bian Ce's funeral hall.

When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. As Bian Ce's only son, Bai Lu, persuaded by Mu Zifang, took the infant Mu Fengchun to pay respects to Bian Ce.

In the dimly lit mourning hall, Xue Hong could clearly see that his deceased friend's face was solemn, and he pretended not to see him.

In Bai Lu's eyes, it was her scumbag father who should have died long ago.

In Xue Hong's eyes, what died was the hope of rebuilding the Ice Soul Sword.

The restoration of the Ice Soul Sword is now a pipe dream; Xue Hong only wants to grasp everything he desires.

White Dew was one of the things he wanted most.

What followed was a familiar trope: the esteemed city lord took a liking to the merchant's wife and forcibly brought her into his household.

At the time, the city was filled with curses, but Xuehong didn't care.

In his view, he was the one who met Bailu first, and he was a step too late because he was concerned about saving face in the past.

One step behind, and you'll be behind at every step.

Now it's just a matter of getting the story back on track.

Bai Lu did not agree with his idea.

They argued and fought many times.

Under the overwhelming power, only Bai Lu lost.

Later, snow fell at the end of the year.

In the first few years after Xue Suimo was born, he had an exceptionally good relationship with Bailu.

Because Bailu suffered from amnesia after giving birth, her memory is stuck in the days before she came to Snow City.

In those years, they laughed and chatted, played music and admired the moon, walked through bustling markets, ate roadside snacks, and lived a warm and happy life like any ordinary young couple.

But a lie is still a lie, and Bailu remembered everything.

She despised Xuehong's toughness and deception; she hated that Xuehong had ruined his own life for his own selfish desires.

She disliked Xuehong and Xuecheng.

She suppressed her nausea and feigned compliance with Xue Hong, finally getting a chance to escape, only to be reported by the usually kind and gentle lady.

"why?"

"The master likes you and doesn't want you to leave."

"But I don't like him! I want to leave! Lan Yi, I am a person, not an object for you to use to please Xue Hong!"

Before becoming Mrs. Xue, she had a beautiful name: Qin Lanyi.

But after becoming Mrs. Xue, she seemed to only remember that she was Xue Hong's wife. "You are the master's concubine, and I am his wife. You should listen to us. It is your good fortune that the master likes you."

"Pah! You soulless, perfect puppet, you don't understand a person at all, a woman, a woman with independent thought. Her life can never be one of passive acceptance, letting others dictate her life according to their own whims!"

"I wasn't born to be Xuehong's concubine!"

"I came into this world not to be any man's woman, but to love what I love and to see what I desire."

"You so-called upper class, relying on your power and cultivation, alter the course of other people's lives, and then claim it's my good fortune! How laughable!"

Qin Lanyi was also taken aback by Bai Lu's words, but before she could think about it, she saw Xue Hong coming to question her angrily.

So she left.

Once he left, he was never seen again.

Bai Lu died in the winter of that year. I heard that before she died, she kept talking about the mountains of Yingdu, where spring flowers bloom everywhere.
