Conflicted Powers (1)

Her mother was the first to wake up. She was still muddle-headed and wouldn't be able to explain herself. However, the more she tried, the more Feng Wu felt sorry for her.

Xiaoqi woke up a few days later as well.

He burst into tears as soon as he saw Feng Wu.

"Sister!"

Feng Wu patted Xiaoqi on the back. "Don't cry. I'm here. Tell me what happened."

Xiaoqi finally calmed down and told Feng Wu what had happened.

Feng Wu was mostly right.

"He told me to call him Father!

"But if he told me to call him father, why did he cut my heart open? He even lied to me, saying that I could live without my heart!

"And there's that Princess Royal. She's been hurting, starving, and whipping Mother. Sister, I have to work on my cultivation and kill that woman!"

...

Xiaoqi went on and on. In the end, when he was exhausted, Feng Wu let him take the calming soup and go to bed.
