The cultivators in the Celestial Emperor Palace watched this scene.
"Luo Lixing! So this is the current Lixing Empress!"
"Doesn't this mean that the Celestial Emperor's desire to become an emperor, to change the laws of the world, originated from the Lixing Empress?"
"The biological parents of the Lixing Empress wanted to abandon or sell her, what a ruthless heart!"
"If it weren't for the Celestial Emperor in the beginning, wouldn't the Lixing Empress have died long ago? Even if the Celestial Emperor hadn't insisted again, wouldn't she have been sold to a mountain village, living a life of mediocrity?"
"Looking at it this way, the Lixing Empress really owes the Celestial Emperor somewhat..."
Only then did everyone understand the origin of Luo Lixing.
It turns out Luo Lixing is not the Celestial Emperor's biological sister!
After the fetus in Luo Mother's womb was stillborn,
the current Lixing Empress came to be like this!
Luo Lixing also watched this scene, with mixed emotions.
If it weren't for Luo Xuan, where would she be now?
Would she even still be standing here? Would she have long become a handful of yellow earth...
Wang Teng, hearing what others said around him, couldn't help but feel a bit flustered.
"Ahem, everyone, none of this is related to the Lixing Empress.
If there's any fault, it lies with the Lixing Empress's parents.
And these speculations about her dying early or living a life of mediocrity without the Celestial Emperor are baseless.
You must not forget, the Lixing Empress bears the power of Double Pupils.
With Double Pupils, even if she were sold to a poor mountain village, once her power awakened, she would still shine, and could rely on her own strength to leave there!"
As Wang Teng said this.
Many cultivators around thought about it and found it reasonable.
At this moment, Luo Lixing spoke calmly.
"You don't need to say anymore.
No matter what, the Celestial Emperor was initially kind to me, but because of worldly righteousness, I cannot save him.
Perhaps I owe the world nothing, but I still feel somewhat guilty towards the Celestial Emperor.
Once everything is settled, I'll return to the Quarantine of Mortal Peril Pass, and no longer walk the world."
Wang Teng heard this and hastily tried to persuade her.
"Lixing Empress, you must think it through..."
"No need to say more, I have already made up my mind!"
Luo Lixing coldly replied.
Wang Teng at this point could only close his mouth obediently.
But in his heart, he felt very dissatisfied.
If Luo Lixing no longer went out and remained in seclusion.
Wouldn't that mean the Ten Great Imperial Consorts he set his eyes on would be one less, becoming the Nine Great Imperial Consorts?
All of this was caused by the Celestial Emperor!
Wang Teng, noticing Luo Lixing's previous inner complexity, deliberately said this now.
"No matter what, at least we know that the Lixing Empress is indeed not the Celestial Emperor's real sister.
No wonder the Celestial Emperor later forcibly took the Lixing Empress's Double Pupils.
It turns out that because the Lixing Empress wasn't his sister, there was ultimately a lack of that blood bond."
Luo Lixing's previously shaken heart turned cold again at this moment.
"Just because I'm not your real sister, is that why you were so cruel to me..."
Perhaps.
There was always that lack of blood bond...
...
In the scene, Xiao Luo Xuan held the swaddled Xiao Lixing.
At this moment, he treated her like a treasure.
During the daytime, at least that woman fed Xiao Lixing a few times.
Xiao Lixing wasn't so hungry now, crying much less.
In Xiao Luo Xuan's arms, she soon fell asleep.
Xiao Luo Xuan only felt too exhausted now.
Leaving the village, he found a safe place and slept there with Xiao Lixing.
The next day, feeling almost recovered, Xiao Luo Xuan.
Took Xiao Lixing to another village.
This village made him feel terrified, whether it was the couple or that old village chief.
If even the village chief was like this, one can imagine what the other villagers were like!
Xiao Luo Xuan had already regarded Xiao Lixing as his real sister.
For him, figuring out how to raise Xiao Lixing was his primary concern now.
Now Xiao Lixing was still too young, almost only able to drink milk, unable to eat other foods.
Arriving at the next village.
Xiao Luo Xian saw many cows and sheep in the village.
With his skills, it might not be difficult to sneak some cow and goat milk at night.
Staring at those cows and sheep for a while, Xiao Luo Xuan eventually shook his head.
"A gentleman does not eat food presented with threats, nor commit theft."
Xiao Luo Xuan decided not to steal milk from animals.
Besides, he wasn't sure if the viruses in raw animal milk would harm Xiao Lixing's health.
He couldn't take that gamble.
Xiao Luo Xuan went door to door asking and inquiring.
Whether there were any women who had recently given birth or were about to in the village.
Luo Lixing watched this scene, feeling only colder inside.
"You say now you won't engage in theft.
Then why in the future would you forcibly take my Double Pupils?"
Ultimately, was it power that changed him entirely?
In the Celestial Emperor Palace, deeply pained, was also the Celestial Emperor's sworn brother, Lin Xiaoyao!
"If you had really upheld all of this, then why did you take my Venerable Bone..."
Lin Xiaoyao's heart was filled with pain.
He originally bore the Venerable Bone, an unparalleled genius.
Yet, the Celestial Emperor forcibly took the Venerable Bone from him.
This was an everlasting wound in his heart.
And an undying hatred towards the Celestial Emperor!
What hurt him the most was that the one who took his Venerable Bone was his sworn brother—the Celestial Emperor!
...
In the scene, Xiao Luo Xuan asked everyone in the village chief's house but couldn't find any women of childbearing age.
Xiao Luo Xuan decisively carried Xiao Lixing to the next village.
But the next village also had no women of childbearing age.
After visiting three villages.
It was already the last village in this area when Xiao Lixing started crying in hunger.
Xiao Luo Xuan finally found a suitable woman who had just given birth.
However, this woman wasn't planning to feed Xiao Lixing for free either.
"I can nurse her, but there are conditions, you must trade something in return."
Xiao Luo Xuan was silent for a moment.
"Alright, I'll hunt on the mountain and trade you wild animal meat."
In the days that followed, Xiao Luo Xuan went hunting in the mountains every day.
The hunted meat was given to the family, and only then did the woman agree to nurse Xiao Lixing.
Such days lasted for quite a while.
Originally, Xiao Luo Xuan was fair and plump.
Due to long days of running and hunting, without adequate rest and nourishment, he visibly grew thinner.
Yet seeing Xiao Lixing's little face growing rosier by the day.
Xiao Luo Xuan couldn't help but smile, feeling it was all worth it.
Seeing Xiao Luo Xuan growing thinner, some villagers couldn't bear to watch anymore.
Some discreetly asked if Xiao Luo Xuan really intended to raise Xiao Lixing this way.
Some even suggested that he should abandon Xiao Lixing.
For now, Xiao Lixing was purely a burden to him.
However, Xiao Luo Xuan firmly refused.
"She's my sister, I promised, as long as I have food, she'll never go hungry.
No matter what, I will never abandon her."
