Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 572 A Love Fruit Created by a Flaw

First impressions are important, but Hun Ruoruo doesn't know what exactly constitutes her first impression of her father.

Is it the disgust etched in one's mind from a past life, or a fantasy from childhood when one was unaware of the truth?
Maybe not.

Ultimately, what truly triggered all the conflicts was what they saw and heard when they first met each other.

Hun Ruoruo had always longed for her father's love, not because of An Suying's discipline and constraints, but because she believed that her parents should play different roles.

Her mother was responsible for maintaining the household stability, while her father was supposed to be the pillar of the family. So she always looked forward to his arrival, hoping that with a wave of his hand, her mother and she would no longer have to live in a small courtyard. Their world should not be so monotonous and dull.

Expectation is a kind of half-awake, half-mad burning; it makes the anxious soul hallucinate that it lives in the future, and the soul lives in the palace built by the ultimate imagination and hope.

But there's always a gap between expectations and reality.

Especially when the gap becomes too large, it becomes increasingly agonizing, like the chest being torn apart with every breath during a frantic run.

Was I wrong?

Hun Ruoruo suddenly felt terrified because she realized that the meaning of her existence was being denied, and the closer she got to the truth, the stronger the feeling became. She even thought that if she persisted, she would end up on the opposite side of her mother.

She could hear the young man's anxious inquiries coming from outside, but she couldn't hear them. A sharp ringing in her ears and dizziness assaulted her body and soul, a sound that seemed both mocking and ironic.
Just as your mother said, he is still your father after all. Even if he uses different methods, he can't deny your concern. He did something wrong, but he didn't intend to harm you.

"Why did you make me see all this?" Hun Ruoruo smiled bitterly. "Even if you're lying to me forever, that's fine too."

However, just as Hun Ruoruo felt drowsy and tried to escape, she heard that familiar, gentle voice again.

"Because you yourself are also pursuing the truth, aren't you?"

The woman's image had appeared beside Hun Ruoruo without her noticing. She reached out and pulled the girl into her arms, as naturally as a swallow nestling in her bosom.

"mother"

Hun Ruoruo barely opened her eyes and whispered in a hoarse voice, "You came so slowly."

"I originally thought you would find the treasure before you dared to look at that scroll, but who would have thought you would actually crawl in by yourself? I was a bit careless."

An Suying blinked. "But it's alright, I got help from someone and managed to make it in time."

Did you ask someone for help?
No one in the entire secret realm had ever seen her mother, so who could she ask for help?
Hun Ruoruo's mind was in chaos. Without thinking too much, she struggled to break free from the other person's embrace and stood up unsteadily.

"I've been searching for this truth for nearly twenty years, and I've hated him for twenty years. Now, why is the result so different from what I saw?"

Hun Ruoruo, unusually annoyed, questioned, "If that was the truth back then, why did he never explain it to me? And why did he take you away from me?"

At this point, she seemed to remember something, quickly stepped forward and grabbed An Suying's hand, holding it tightly: "Mother, you're lying to me, aren't you? Is that man coercing you? Tell me!"

At this moment, the girl was like a swan stuck in the mud, her former pride and composure gone, desperately trying to grasp at the straw in front of her.

The impact of everything that had happened before was immeasurable, so much so that the more she recovered from that shock, the more the sense of unbelievable absurdity surged into her heart, and in a short time it had become uncontrollable.

However, all she received in response was silence. "Mother!" Hun Ruoruo finally couldn't bear it any longer and shouted at the top of her lungs.

Seeing this, An Suying knew she couldn't hide it anymore, so she slowly closed her eyes and said, "Your father is a human being too."

"What does it mean?"

"He also has emotions, but not all of them. Xiao Xuan's self-destruction not only almost destroyed his physical body, but also caused a crack in his soul that had sealed away all emotions."

An Suying lowered her eyes slightly and said softly, "He is not truly heartless."

“He can get angry, he can have emotional fluctuations, and he can even lose control over simple wins and losses. This is the flaw that Xiao Xuan created with his life, a fatal flaw that can threaten his life and death.”

She paused, staring at the bewildered girl before her, and said, word by word:
"It was precisely this flaw that led to your birth."

In an instant, Hun Ruoruo felt as if her heart had been struck by a heavy fist, and she convulsed violently for a moment, her pupils trembling instantly.

"His flaw led to my birth."

In the past, discovering the Soul Emperor's fatal flaw would have been an extremely exciting thing for Hun Ruoruo, but now she couldn't laugh at all, and she couldn't even keep up the act.

He really cares about himself.

How could such an absurd thing happen in the world?

A man who pursues power at all costs could actually have such emotions.
"Ruo Ruo, have you ever noticed the light in the clouds?" An Suying said softly. "Even if it's very short, so short that it disappears in an instant, who can help but call it light?"

“My mother was the one who chased after the afterglow of his life. She seized the opportunity the moment he shone and fell hopelessly in love with him.”

Hun Ruoruo whispered, "But the afterglow is always fleeting."

"you're right."

An Suying did not deny it. She slowly turned around, as if to look into the distance across the ancient barrier of the Sound Valley. "So we separated. We once loved each other, but that could not hide the fact that our ideals were different. Love and marriage can never be confused."

"But."

"But you're different."

She suddenly raised her voice, her eyes gentle and earnest, looking at the graceful young girl who resembled her by a large margin.

“You are both my child and his daughter. You should not be bound by my personal views. You have the right to make your own choices. You must know the truth.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Hun Ruoruo felt as if an invisible shackle in her heart had shattered and disappeared into the sea of ​​her heart.

"Crack!"

In an instant, the golden crow patterns that had been wrapped around the girl vanished at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like the first snow under the blazing sun. In a short while, a mighty force, as if level with heaven and earth, suddenly condensed and transformed into a long staircase that pierced through the clouds.

At this moment, one can rise to great heights and ascend to the heavens in a single leap!
