Cai Die was desperate to see her younger sister.
So—
She gave it everything she had inside the Secret Realm, completing in half the time a round that should have taken a full week. She finished the set course and successfully claimed the final reward.
With its most important reward gone, the Secret Realm collapsed ahead of schedule and opened an exit.
Before leaving, Cai Die recalled how her younger sister had spent these past days, and wondered what kind of utterly inhumane life in hell she had endured.
The intelligence had only told her this:
A vile woman had been obsessed with tormenting Ye Xiaoyao. She had not only lured her to Supreme Heaven with honeyed words, but had deliberately made Ye Xiaoyao toil in the fields for fifteen or sixteen years while still a child. What kind of cruel hell was that? Calling it a life of misery and hardship hardly did it justice.
And that was not all.
After Ye Xiaoyao came of age, the scum had deliberately engineered an encounter with her, then used the excuse of saving her to repeatedly subject her to inhuman psychological control.
At last, after Ye Xiaoyao had been battered and bruised from head to toe, the scum had successfully made her fall in love.
The story was already disgusting enough at that point.
But in the version Cai Die knew, it continued.
The woman seemed to enjoy toying with Ye Xiaoyao.
She had deliberately severed her own threads of affection, wanting to watch Ye Xiaoyao turn into a lovesick simp as she chased after her. She changed tactics to enjoy a life of being adored, treating Ye Xiaoyao as if she were no person at all.
Cai Die already knew that Xiaoxiao was the name Ye Xiaoyao went by now.
