"Six Paths Immortal Venerable, you said I'm just a furnace? A mere object?" Fairy Hao Xi couldn't help but smile faintly. She was naturally quite dissatisfied with that claim; she felt that she had merely grown indifferent to everything.
"Immortal Venerable Hao Xi, was I wrong? You fell far short of the Three Pure Ones! Could they not step beyond the seven emotions and six desires? They could! But why did they choose to remain amidst the seven emotions and six desires? Because they were different from you. They still pursued the breath of life within the void and non-action—life itself. How could they be as indifferent as stones? You seek only benefits without seeking a single emotion. Living in this world, wouldn't that be dull? If you continued like this, you wouldn't merely fall far short of the Three Pure Ones—you might not even be as good as Jie Yuhua. She at least dared to lay a sword across her neck, seeking death to stir your compassion! Ask yourself: how did you view that matter?" Wife Sister sneered coldly.
Fairy Hao Xi drew a deep breath, preparing to retort, but suddenly pressed her lips tightly together and fell silent. Her face shifted from green to red to white, as though her heart were churning. For a moment, she sank into a sea of memories.
"Look. You've infected me too, turning me into a woman who can't stop meddling." Wife Sister glanced at me. I smiled bitterly. "Once you have children, and those children grow up, most people end up like this..."
Wife Sister angrily rapped me on the head and said, "My lifespan is infinite. How could I go through menopause? You were the one who infected me, then dumped a mountain of chores on me and walked away.
