Fairies, please don't talk to me about love

"What a weird thing! You look weird too! I shouldn't have given birth to you in the first place, ugh!"

Finally, she spat on the girl's unique bamboo-green hair and turned away.

The sound of her closing the iron lock before leaving made the girl feel a chill in her heart.

She might have to sleep on the cold floor again tonight...

She rubbed the floor with the parts of her body that were not hit, crawled to a corner, and curled up her body.

"Why......"

She couldn't stop shedding tears.

Tears flowed across the wound that was still bleeding, making her moan and close her eyes in pain.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but Yun Shao, who had finally fallen asleep for more than ten minutes after getting used to the pain, was awakened by a slap in the face by the middle-aged woman who came in again.

"Still sleeping!"

She roughly pulled the girl's head up and smeared white plaster on her face to hide the scars. After the scars were completely covered, she threw out a set of clean white clothes and said unkindly:

"Today, if you dare to make a mistake while refining the elixir again and make me lose face, I will chop off your hand!"

Yun Shao sobbed, carefully put on a white dress that could cover all the scars, and followed the woman.

"Madam, did Yun Shao have a good rest last night?"

"Well, she slept soundly last night, so she won't blow up the furnace again today, right?"

After a long while, Yun Shao, whose mind was wandering, finally reacted and assured the elder who was in charge of the daily training of the disciples that there would be no mistakes today.

"That's good... As the daughter of the Valley Master, you shouldn't be that bad, so go in."

After politely saying goodbye to the middle-aged woman and the elder, Yun Shao walked into the alchemy room.

She sat down cross-legged. Although some of her wounds were affected, she still gritted her teeth and persevered.

Touching the alchemy furnace, she put in the raw materials and treasures in order according to the knowledge she had learned from the alchemy books before, then lit the spiritual fire and began to refine the sixth-grade elixir.

The material turned into liquid, and just as she was about to put the monster's inner elixir into it, the wound on her hand suddenly cracked, causing her to let go of her hand in pain.

The round inner elixir fell to the ground and rolled several meters away. Yun Shao had to get up quickly to pick it up.

He walked to the inner elixir and picked it up. Before he turned around, Yun Shao heard the sound of the elixir furnace exploding.

The scalding liquid splashed onto the side of her face, causing her to kneel on the ground with her hands covering her face in pain.

"Why......"

The tears fell on the back of her hand that was supporting herself on the floor, and just soaked into the gaping wound.

......

"Madam, the lady..."

"Elder, don't worry about her. This is what she deserves. I will take this unfilial daughter back now to let her have a good rest. I will have to trouble you again later."

"Well, let Miss have a good rest. Take your time. There's no rush."

The middle-aged woman rushed in and pulled Yun Shao out of the alchemy room under the gaze of all the disciples.

"You little bastard! How dare you... just wait and see how I deal with you tonight!"

Chapter 29 Waiting for You to Become Famous

The woman raised her foot and stepped on Yun Shao, but Yun Shao did not cry out loudly. Instead, he frowned and endured it.

Because she knew that her sorrowful cries would only lead to more violent trampling in the end.

"What bad luck! You can forget about eating tonight. I'm so pissed off!"

The woman looked at Yun Shao, who was huddled up in pain, and seemed not to have vented enough, so she kicked him hard one last time.

The sound of the iron lock closing was heard again, and Yun Shao knew that he would have to spend another night like this.

"If only... I could hold my hands a little more firmly... it would be fine..."

. . .

"It's so cold..."

. . .

“So hungry…”

. . .

The faint sunlight shining in means a new day is about to begin.

"Hungry? You also feel hungry? Then why do you want to embarrass me? Hun?"

Looking at the peeled-off wall paint and the residue on Yun Shao's mouth, the woman had no mercy at all.

"Get up! Get up!"

After kicking Yun Shao twice while he was leaning against the wall, Yun Shao stood up in a daze and let the woman apply white ointment on his body to cover the scars.

"Now people everywhere are saying that my daughter is a waste and I am a waste's mother. Do you know how much damage your lack of ambition has done to my reputation?"

Yun Shao looked at her mother, she still couldn't understand what she had done wrong.

Since she was born, she has been treated as a monster by her family, and her father, whom she has never met, has never come to visit her.

Just because of her unique hair and eyes?

She wanted to prove herself, so she studied hard for ten years, and finally became a fifth-grade alchemist at the age of fifteen.

What did i do wrong?

Yun Shao couldn't understand it. She only knew that her mother seemed to treat her like this because of her "reputation".

So if I had a lot of "fame", would she treat me gently like the mother in the story?

She walked into the alchemy room again, met the elder, and touched the alchemy furnace. This time, she completely ignored the pain in her body.

"Madam, I think you should let her hone her skills at the fifth level... You are really—"

"She owes me this."

"Hiss—hey."

It’s not that the elder can’t understand her.

The wife of the valley master, who should have been loved by everyone, was neglected because she gave birth to a "monster" "daughter". Now she is just the wife of the valley master in name only, and her actual treatment is almost the same as that of the children of the side branches.

The elders had always known that she had been oppressing her daughter in order to regain the favor of the Valley Master.

The elder attached his spiritual power to his eyes and stared at the girl whose face was covered with scars but who was still working hard.

"Finally... add the inner elixir of the demon tiger..."

With trembling hands, he threw the inner elixir into the elixir furnace, and finally the elixir liquid turned into deep red.

Just when Yun Shao was about to complete the pill and a smile appeared on her face, she suddenly felt something rushing up her throat.

She tilted her head, supported the alchemy furnace with one hand and the ground with the other, and spat out all the wall paint she had eaten last night.

When the surrounding disciples smelled the stench, they all turned to look at its source with expressions of disgust.

"That's disgusting... What on earth did she eat last night?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, not only does he look weird, but his food is weird too. But it's normal, after all - hehe."

"It stinks. I'm leaving now. I'll be back after the servants have cleaned up the mess!"

"Wait for me, what do you want to eat for lunch today?"

. . .

The spiritual fire in the alchemy furnace went out, and only a piece of black charcoal remained.

The elder and Yun Shao's mother came over and looked at her, who looked a little decadent, with two completely different expressions on their faces.

"Elder, she has some strange habits and has eaten some things she shouldn't have. I will take her back tonight and give her a good lesson."

When the woman stepped forward and tried to pull Yun Shao up, the elder reached out and stopped her.

"Elder, you..."

The elder pushed the woman back a step, then said solemnly:

"Yun Shao is just a little girl. The Valley Master's superstition and your selfish desires have hurt her badly."

She took out a seventh-grade pill from her hand and used her spiritual power to put it into Yun Shao's mouth, then turned sideways and stood between the woman and Yun Shao.

"My selfish desires? Those things originally belonged to me!"

When the woman saw that the truth was revealed, she could no longer continue pretending.

In the eyes of the elders, her hysterical look was actually somewhat ugly, even unbearable.

"If this bastard didn't look like this, and wasn't a girl, would I still be here today?!"

"People's fate is determined by nature. Why do you want to impose an unwarranted fault on her who is still so young?"

"Yes! It's my fault, all my fault! I've had enough of her and this place!"

The woman flicked her sleeves and left the alchemy room directly.

The elder looked back at the girl who had fallen into a coma and sighed softly.

It's better for this crazy woman to leave. If she continues to stay here, she will only turn this genius girl into a lunatic like her.

Finally, she called the maid to send Yun Shao to an empty room in her hall to recuperate, and she herself reopened the alchemy room after cleaning up the scene. It was not until the evening that she had time to walk back to the hall to visit the miserable girl.

Yun Shao lay on the soft bed with a dull look in his eyes.

"Have a rest?"

"Old woman...where is my mother?"

"She handed you over to me. From now on, I will be responsible for your daily life. You should get a good night's sleep tonight."

"It's my fault... I didn't study hard, which made my mother disappointed in me again and again..."

From the moment Yun Shao was born, her mother was the only one by her side.

Her peers distanced themselves from her and her elders treated her like air.

Only her mother was willing to talk to her, give her a place to live, and give her food and drink.

She always wanted to repay her mother and wanted to see her smile.

He completed the goals she set one after another, becoming a first-level alchemist at the age of eight, and a second-level alchemist at the age of nine...

Why doesn't she ever compliment me?

Yun Shao was refining the elixir while the woman was watching from the side. If she made any mistake, she would be beaten without mercy.

"You're right, kid."

"Then why... doesn't mother smile?"

"When you become famous, she will smile. Not only will she smile, but she will also lift you high above her head and be proud of you."

"When I become famous... I understand! When that time comes, my mother will come back to me and won't treat me like that anymore, right?"

The elder turned his head, forcing himself to forget the seven or eight glaring scars on her face, and then answered against his will:

"Yes."

Chapter 30 The Woman Who Can Suppress Xuan Feng

Sikong Yunshao woke up from the bed with a start. She touched her cheek and breathed a sigh of relief when she found no obvious blood scabs or scars.

"I've obviously forgotten..."

The unbearable past was suddenly recalled, and Sikong Yunshao almost thought that he had returned to that dark time.
