I only want to win over the fairy.

But Yu Gongyi is different; this is the sun of Tianxuan Peak.

Just as the growth of all things in the world is inseparable from the sun, Tianxuan Peak cannot be separated from the sun, nor from Yu Gongyi, who is the sun.

What a fat chicken like Yu Gonghua does or where she likes to do doesn't really matter much. After all, it's normal for a fat chicken to run around and exercise. But it's different for Yu Gongyi. If the sun goes away, how will they, Tianxuan Peak, survive?

Xiao Jinxuan would never allow anything like taking away the sun from Tianxuan Peak!

Anyone who attempts to taint the sun will ultimately be brought to justice!

"That despicable Yu Gonghua! Not only did she steal my disciple behind my back, but now she's planning to steal the only light of our Tianxuan Peak! Her crimes are utterly unforgivable!"

"Why not secretly kill her? That way, Yu Gongyi won't leave Tianxuan Peak."

"Good strategy, but I'd like to make some modifications."

Xiao Jinxuan felt that she should treat Yu Gongyi better and let her know that she, Bai Yi, and Tianxuan Peak were her true home, and that Yu Gonghua was completely unimportant.

However, I cannot forbid others from going home to visit their mothers.

so...

To thank Yu Gongyi for taking care of her during this time, you and Xiao Jinxuan prepared a sumptuous meal for her and presented her with a storage ring filled with over ten tons of supplies as a gift. It contained almost everything imaginable, from food and cultivation resources to other items.

[You showered Yuu Miyako with care for a whole week before reluctantly letting her go home.]

On the day Yu Gongyi descended the mountain, you and Xiao Jinxuan gazed at each other for a long time, unable to forget the moment.

Ultimately, the two of you discussed it and decided to secretly follow Yu Gongyi home to visit each other's mother.

Upon returning home, Yu Gongyi received a warm welcome from her mother, Yu Gonghua. Judging from her daughter's aura, clothing, and weapons, she deduced that her daughter was doing quite well at the Xuan Tian Sect. Seeing that her daughter still possessed her original self-assured demeanor and seemed free of excessive worries, she felt much relieved.

What? As expected of my daughter, she can live so happily all by herself in the Xuan Tian Sect, a sect with two emperors.

As Hanamichi Hana looked at her daughter Hanamichi I's attributes, mood, and cultivation level, a pleased smile crept onto her lips.

Name: Yuu Miyako

Gender: Female

[Race: Oracle Phoenix]

Age: Sixteen

[Realm Level: Seventh Level of Qian Yuan Realm]

[Personality: I am the only light in this world, and I should shine upon all living beings and the world.]

[Talent: My talent surpasses even the light]

【Attributes: The only light, the only sun】

This outrageous attribute, reaching the Qian Yuan realm at such a young age, just a few steps away from the He Dao realm, she can only say, who else can compare!

This talent, this power, this personality—these are the reasons for becoming an emperor!

Could Qin Xin do that? Could Xiao Jinxuan do that? Could Bai do that?

Compared to her own son, Qin Xin's son was far inferior, and by a significant margin. After all, her own daughter might be able to advance to the Dao Integration Realm before the age of twenty, becoming a top-tier powerhouse in the world. Moreover, in the era of the Great Emperor, she might even break through the shackles and prove the Dao through her own strength!

I really look forward to seeing what kind of shocked expressions Bai and Xiao Jinxuan will show when their daughter becomes an Emperor and stands in front of them.

"Sigh, what a promising talent, it's a pity she's stuck with a useless mother." Bai Ze, who had come to visit after learning of Yu Gongyi's return, sighed, "Some birds, after being defeated, learn from their mistakes and strive harder, while others, even after being utterly humiliated, are not content with being losers and insist on secretly having a chick, hoping their child will regain their honor. Tsk tsk tsk."

If you keep swearing!

Hanamiya Hana is furious!

What kind of jerk are you? My daughter's back and you're just spouting these sarcastic remarks. Believe me or not, I'll rip your hair out!

Although Yu Gonghua seems somewhat inadequate now, she has done her best. While diligently cultivating and improving her cultivation, she constantly helps Bai Paiyou solve his problems, whether it's helping him recruit ancient demons or resurrecting him with phoenix fire without hesitation when he encounters a crisis.

The reason I lost to Xiao Jinxuan and Qin Xin was not my fault at all, but because these two people started from a higher point than me. While I was still worrying about survival, these two people were already standing at the top of the world. Whether it was resources, time, or power, they were simply incomparable to me.

Moreover, she felt that the two of them were able to become emperors entirely thanks to Bai's efforts. She felt that Bai's help was not in vain. How could Qin Xin have become an emperor last time?

How could Xiao Jinxuan become an emperor so early this time?

That's simply not going to work!

If she were like them, starting out without having to worry about survival, having everything, and only one or two steps away from reaching the Emperor Realm, then she would definitely not be worse than those two.

Ultimately, I am not a loser; the defeat is not Hua's fault, but rather fate's will to destroy me.

Faced with your friend Bai Ze's sarcastic remarks, what do you choose?

【①, Peace brings wealth. Today my daughter is here, so I'll spare your life. Otherwise, I'll strip you naked, hang you on a cross, and roast you with phoenix fire.】

【②, I'm getting angrier the moment I try to hold back, but I'm so angry I could explode. I have to beat her up today!】

【③ Ignore her.】

Hmph, I am a dignified innate holy spirit, a dignified immortal beast phoenix, how could I possibly bother with a whiny loser like you?

I have a big temper, so I'm going to beat you to death!

Choose option 2!

"You good-for-nothing, how dare you criticize me?!" You snapped. "At least I'm trying, unlike you, a complete waste of space. You stay home all day, doing nothing but complaining. It's not that I look down on you, but if I were a loser, you'd be the worst of the worst, the kind of person even a dog wouldn't want to eat!"

"Ah, right, you're right, I'm a good-for-nothing!" Bai Ze proudly puffed out his chest.

【"....."】

Honesty is always the most lethal weapon.

Bai Ze was speechless at the sight of Yu Gonghua.

For a dignified auspicious beast to proudly puff out its chest and admit that it is a piece of trash, and even take pride in it, she truly felt that this guy was beyond saving.

[Hanamiya Hana mocked you, and you chose to give up, which worked wonders; you silenced her.]

—Fenglinzhou, Xihe Mountain.

The information displayed on the simulator amused the pure white auspicious beast; she truly hadn't expected this Feather Palace Flower to be so...

"interesting".

Putting everything else aside, at least this guy's perseverance is admirable. If he can't beat someone, he'll have a child to fight for him. In some ways, this is a level of understanding that is thousands of years ahead of this world.

It truly embodies the spirit of the Foolish Old Man Who Moved Mountains, but unfortunately it was all for naught.

Does your daughter winning have anything to do with you?

No!

Even if your daughter wins against Bai and Xiao Jinxuan in the end, it will be thanks to your daughter. You yourself will still be a loser, and nothing will change.

So, let's open!

[You press your advantage to avenge the humiliation of being thoroughly beaten by Yu Gonghua: "Just keep revolving around him all day long. Forget about cultivation, forget about exploring your bloodline, forget about contacting any of your friends, just give up everything you like to do. Just think about him all day long, analyze his words and dissect his actions by staring at those past memories, and fantasize hundreds of times about whether he loves you when he fights with your daughter and they recognize each other. You ask me what to do, what to do, it's so painful. What do you mean, what to do? My assessment is that it's like... []]

[Hanamiya Hana was initially angry, then fell silent. She ignored you and went back to her room.]

[You know that this is probably the last time you and Hanamichi Hana will interact.]

[As a phoenix, a celestial beast evolved from a primordial holy spirit, Yu Gonghua would be fine if she reached the Emperor Realm. However, if she fails to reach the Emperor Realm, then her death will come when the current Great Emperor dies and the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone launches a dark upheaval. She will die in the most tragic way. You cannot ruin your precious life for such a loser. Your initial choice to approach her to see what she could do was a mistake in itself.]

[After the three of you finished your dinner in silence, it was already late. You decided to leave without saying goodbye and return to your residence, never to have any further close contact with the outside world, with Hanamichi Hana, or with Hanamichi Ito.]

[When Hana returned to her room and you were about to leave, Hana I approached you. She asked why you always kept people at arm's length and why you deliberately said such things to your mother. You tried to play dumb and brush it off, but Hana I saw through your act.]

[Hameko asked you very seriously, "Aunt Shiro has always been quite assertive in the past. Although she can be very aggressive at times, this is the first time I've seen her remain so aggressive even after gaining the upper hand. Are you deliberately trying to distance yourself from me and my mother?"]

What a sweet little angel.

Bai Ze remained silent.

How come if I'm even slightly aggressive, the other person can detect it and dissect my psychology?

Watch me fight back! I'll show you what adults are all about, you little brat!

“…”

My mind went completely blank.

"Tsk, normally I'd make you realize how powerful I, the Holy Spirit Goddess, am, but unfortunately I'm not in good shape today, so I'll spare your life."

As you spoke, you turned to leave.

[You fled from Yu Gongyi as if fleeing, believing you could no longer have any deep connection with this mother and daughter. If it were only Yu Gonghua, you could bear the pain of selling her, and if she died, you would at most cry a few tears and sweep her grave. But Yu Gongyi was different. You couldn't imagine whether you would still be as detached as you were now if she lost her mother.]

[Bai Ze is an auspicious beast, possessing the ability to attract good fortune and avoid misfortune. This is all thanks to her never meddling in other people's business and never stepping into dangerous vortexes. However, once she gets too involved and insists on stepping into the vortex of the great world, she will surely die. Besides, this world has never had a place for her race to survive.]

"Are you going to run away?" Yu Gongyi asked calmly. "If you leave, we'll never see each other again. Is that what you want?"

You remain silent.

Yu Gongyi's countless years of experience caring for others made her acutely aware that she had to keep Bai Ze. Otherwise, if she let him leave, he would completely close himself off, her mother would lose a good friend, and she herself would lose her dear aunt.

As the sun, as the only light, I should illuminate everything, both reality and the hearts of others.

["A person who is very important to me once said that people become weak because they love others, but this is not shameful, because it is not true weakness."]

"If you truly despise my mother and me, Aunt Bai, you wouldn't have taken us in in the first place, nor would you have helped us. The more you deliberately try to distance yourself from my mother and me, the more it proves that you yearn for friendship and family. Suppressing your emotions will not achieve anything; it's just a form of escapism."

"Constantly escaping reality is pointless and offers no future whatsoever."

Bai Ze remained silent.

Escaping reality may be shameful, but it can be very useful in many situations.

The question is, if reality is so wonderful, then why run away from it?

It's precisely because facing reality is utterly useless, and striving to become stronger is utterly useless, that the more she does, the more she feels the malice of this world. That's why she wants to escape, at least that way she can relax and avoid experiencing the despair of trying her best but achieving nothing.

"You understand absolutely nothing." You said sadly, "Incompetent losers will eventually be swept into the dustbin of history. This land is hopeless, with no future to speak of, especially for me."

"No, there is a future!" Yu Gongyi answered confidently, "This world revolves around me. As long as I have hope, this world has a future! It has hope! If Aunt Bai, you have no future, then I will give you hope. In exchange, you will become my servant! As the sun, you naturally need stars to surround you!"

[You were about to fight back when you saw Yuu Miyako smiling as she launched an attack on you.]

"I've never fought you before, Aunt Bai. Let me see your strength! If I win, you'll have to listen to me from now on!"

You lost. You lost to Yuu Miyako.

Tsk, I'm getting more and more useless, I can't even beat a kid.
