The Heroines' Fury
After reading the entire diary entry, Tang Ya's anger not only didn't subside, but burned even more fiercely.
She said, "How could any girl forgive such a thing? It turns out that some lousy thing like Heaven-and-Earth Valley of Love Inquiry was behind this."
What's this talk of resolving inner conflicts, this talk of seeking enlightenment through love? It's all just Tang San forcing people to forgive their abusers in order to achieve his so-called perfect storyline.
They can even use other people's deep-seated hatred and lifelong trauma as stepping stones in the plot.
Just as Tang San wrote time and again in his diary, he was capable of any despicable act for his own purposes, even using his own daughter as a pawn, let alone two insignificant juniors.
Tang Ya no longer holds any sway over this so-called ancestor of the Tang Sect. She no longer believes a single word of the legends about saving the continent, destroying the Spirit Hall, and eliminating Evil Soul Master.
She already had a plan in mind. It was just a Black Tortoise Divine Pill, wasn't it? If the Dark Nether Sect could produce one, her Tang Sect could produce one too.
Even though the Tang Sect has declined, it still wouldn't be a problem for them to spend money to purchase a Black Tortoise Divine Pill from the Dark Nether Sect.
She would never let Jiang Nannan sacrifice her entire life for a single pill, nor would she allow the Dark Nether Sect and Xu Sanshi to ruin their fellow disciples by taking advantage of their vulnerability.
And Xu Sanshi, she sneered. In the future, at Shrek and in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with him.
She wanted to see what face Xu Sanshi would have left to pester Jiang Nannan without the Black Tortoise Divine Pill as leverage and without his future dirty tricks.
After reading this, the anger that Ma Xiaotao had just suppressed burst forth instantly. If it weren't for the last shred of reason holding her back, she would have already rushed out and burned Xu Sanshi to a pulp.
Brute!
She cursed inwardly, her breathing becoming heavier.
She only thought Xu Sanshi was a glib-tongued playboy with no major flaws, but now she realizes he's nothing but a heartless beast.
The 14-year-old girl, desperate to save her mother, had no other choice but to agree to the Dark Nether Sect's conditions; she was already pitiful and in despair.
Xu Sanshi not only feels no remorse, but he also dares to do such a beastly thing, and he even dares to say he went to the wrong place?
You're kidding me! A teenager like him, making mistakes like this? Who would believe he didn't do it on purpose?
To put it bluntly, they didn't treat Jiang Nannan like a human being; they treated her however they wanted.
His Martial Soul upgrade failed? He deserved it! He got what he deserved! It was too lenient of him not to completely destroy his broken Martial Soul.
There's also the Sea God's Fate confession, and the Heaven-and-Earth Valley of Love Inquiry forgiveness.
Ma Xiaotao grew angrier the more she thought about it, and felt a churning in her stomach.
After relentlessly pursuing her for so many years, using her lifelong trauma as a pretext for deep affection, and forcing her to forgive him—what kind of behavior is that?
And that damned Heaven-and-Earth Valley of Love Inquiry, isn't it just a dump that helps abusers force victims to submit?
She took a deep breath, suppressing her surging anger, and made up her mind.
From now on, Jiang Nannan's affairs will be Ma Xiaotao's affairs.
If Xu Sanshi dares to bother Jiang Nannan again, she will beat him every time she sees him, until he gives up on this idea.
As for the Black Tortoise Divine Pill, Ma Xiaotao has been at Shrek for so many years and still has some connections. At worst, she can ask Xuan Zi for help and definitely help Jiang Nannan get the pill. She will never let her go to the point described in the diary.
Jiang Nannan read through all the content word by word, feeling as if she had been immersed in ice water, chilled from head to toe.
So that's how it is. So that's where the nightmares she can't escape in the future originate.
It turns out that her long-standing resistance and wariness towards Xu Sanshi was not out of suspicion, but rather a deep-seated warning of future dangers.
She could imagine how desperate she would be in the future.
My mother is bedridden and on the verge of death; the only life-saving medicine is available only from the Dark Nether Sect.
The condition for obtaining the medicine was to sacrifice her innocence and her entire life to become a sacrifice for a boy she loathed to the core, for the sake of her Martial Soul's upgrade.
She could imagine how much pain, resentment, and desperation she felt when she signed that agreement.
She could better imagine how devastated, desperate, and filled with hatred she must have felt on that horrible night when Xu Sanshi did that to her.
As for the accident of going to the wrong door, that was a trauma and shadow etched into her bones, one that she could never erase for the rest of her life.
Although she was only 12 years old, she was not completely ignorant about matters between men and women. She knew how terrible such things were, which is why she couldn't help but think about how she would survive if she experienced such things in the future.
It turns out that she will live with this shadow for the rest of her life.
It turns out that in the future, she will accept the confession of the person who ruined her life at the Sea God's Fate.
She would be forced to forgive him and be with him in that so-called Heaven-and-Earth Valley of Love Inquiry.
Jiang Nannan's lips curled into a cold smile; her eyes held no tears, only an icy resolve.
She wouldn't, absolutely not!
She will treat her mother's illness in her own way.
She will cultivate relentlessly, increase her Soul Power, take on the most difficult missions, earn enough money, and travel all over the continent to obtain the Black Tortoise Divine Pill.
Even if it costs her her life, she would never agree to that humiliating condition, nor would she allow Xu Sanshi to touch a single hair on her head.
The Black Tortoise Divine Pill, a type of elixir sold by the Dark Nether Sect, is very precious, but not impossible to obtain.
The reason she would sign that kind of agreement with the Dark Nether Sect in the future is definitely because she doesn't have the ability to buy a Black Tortoise Divine Pill.
This time, she will absolutely not let this happen again.
As for Xu Sanshi, she slowly raised her eyes and looked at the figure not far away, the coldness in her eyes almost overflowing.
Before, she would just avoid him, find him annoying, and simply not want to have anything to do with him.
Now, she feels only deep-seated hatred and vigilance towards him. She will never have anything to do with this man again in her life.
Sea God's Fate? She wouldn't give him a chance to get close to her at all.
Even if she dies inside the Heaven-and-Earth Valley of Love Inquiry, she will never bow her head, and she will never forgive the abuser who will ruin her future.
She clenched her fists gently, adjusted her breathing, and her face regained its usual gentle expression, but the high wall deep in her eyes was now unbreakable.
Tang Ya noticed her change in mood, patted the back of her hand, and gave her a reassuring yet firm look.
Jiang Nannan met her gaze, nodded slightly, and her tense shoulders relaxed a little.
