Xia Wanwan not only refused to let go with her teeth, but even shook her little head.
I haven't eaten enough. I haven't eaten enough.
Shen Chuanlian laughed in exasperation, but faced with her adorable little antics, he simply could not stay angry. His expression was both helpless and amused.
"The one who killed your Mother was that despicable villain, the Heavenly Dao."
"Mm-hmm, I guessed that. Then what?" Xia Wanwan looked up at the Barrier and suddenly understood. So he had put it up to discuss these things.
At that, she immediately perked up.
"Xia Wanwan, do you want to kill the Heavenly Dao?" Shen Chuanlian stared intently at her face as she hung from his arm, his expression utterly solemn.
His painful, miserable life was entirely the Heavenly Dao's fault.
He should never have had to bear it.
"Is this the gift you said you would give me?" Xia Wanwan released her bite and asked in confusion.
"Yes. After refining and absorbing Phoenix's power, I headed for the heavens, toward the phantom manifestation of the Heavenly Dao. But I flew through the skies for so, so long, crossing countless mountains, rivers, and plains, chasing all the way to the ends of the earth, yet I could never find that lofty Heavenly Dao."
"Later, I happened to land in the mortal realm and heard people speak of a Star Lord Siming who arranged mortals' destinies. So I sought him out and demanded to know why he had given me such a wretched life!"
"But he said I had never been a mortal to begin with! Tell me, isn't that ironic?"
"Xia Wanwan, do you think I didn't want to be a mortal?" Shen Chuanlian asked her urgently, a faint glimmer of hope and emotion in his eyes.
