"Oh, you don't? Junior Sister, Qianying is your own daughter. With you in my hands, Qianying will surely serve me, her master, well. However... it's also because my disciple trusted me too much, handing you, whom I revived, over to me, her master."
As he spoke, the old man in white walked up to Bai Wanting, looking at her up close.
"Junior Sister, back then I voluntarily offered to make you my test subject, and you still refused. I told you there would be no problems, but you just wouldn't believe me. However... thankfully, you refused, but your daughter, she could be."
A celestial attendant by his side brought over a wine pot and respectfully handed it to the old man in white. The old man in white took it and dismissed the people around him.
The doors of the hall were closed again.
The old man in white drank his wine, looking at Bai Wanting, who was tied up and unable to move: "Junior Sister, it is also fortunate that you gave birth to such a good daughter. Xiao Ying is my most accomplished disciple, and also my most proud creation, Senior Brother. She is perfect."
"Pah!"
Bai Wanting spat a mouthful of saliva onto the old man in white's face.
"Saint Lord Bai, you are nothing but a despicable villain!"
Bai Wanting spat at the old man in white's face. The old man in white did not get angry; instead, he smiled. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the saliva from his face.
He suddenly walked up to Bai Wanting, grabbed her chin, and forced the wine pot to her mouth, pouring wine into her.
"Junior Sister, do you know what wine this is? Hahaha... Junior Sister, have you heard of Blood Spirit Wine? Hahahaha..."
Bai Wanting wanted to resist, but she was no match for the old man in white.
The warm blood wine entered her internal organs through her mouth.
Suddenly, a feeling of pain surged through her.
Bai Wanting cried out in pain.
The old man in white looked at her, smiled, and released her, also letting go of her chin. He casually threw the wine pot in his hand onto the ground.
At this moment, dark energy emanated from Bai Wanting's body.
She was in unbearable pain.
The old man in white laughed loudly at her pained appearance: "Junior Sister, you are always so stubborn. Junior Sister, do you know what I hate most about you? It's that arrogant, condescending, and dismissive look you always have."
"Junior Sister, do you know why Master sealed your memories and extracted your spiritual body, making you an ordinary woman in the mortal realm?"
Without waiting for Bai Wanting's response, the old man in white continued indifferently: "Our Master had long said that your tribulations would all be in the mortal realm, amidst the seven emotions and six desires. And if you wanted to break through yourself, to avoid further tribulations, the most effective way was to have you stay in the mortal realm, to experience the seven emotions and six desires. Only in this way could you truly improve your cultivation."
"However... if you improve your cultivation to a level above mine, then what would become of me?"
"Ah..."
The pain in her body continued.
Bai Wanting's expression was extremely grim.
The old man in white, with great interest, asked his subordinate to prepare a chair and sat down in front of her, continuing to watch her suffer.
"So, I, your Senior Brother, made a little arrangement when Master extracted your spiritual body. Without me, no one can unseal your memories, not even Master."
"Besides this, ever since you entered the mortal realm, I have had people constantly monitoring your every move. I know you suffered in the Gu family and were ostracized by others. Although you had lost all your memories from the Immortal Realm at that time, your preferences and daily demeanor remained unchanged."
"Through this, I quickly found you and learned that you were pregnant. The tribulation in the mortal realm was your destiny, something you had to experience, and you couldn't escape it."
"At that time, I thought that no matter if you gave birth to a boy or a girl, your child would be my disciple."
"Later, when I learned that you had given birth to a daughter named Gu Qianying, I was even happier."
"When I saw that chubby little girl, Junior Sister, do you know how happy I was?"
Ignoring how much pain Bai Wanting was in, the old man in white continued to indulge in his own world.
"Junior Sister, none of my previous 'creations' satisfied me. Only when I saw your daughter Gu Qianying did I know that my perfect creation had arrived. To make her my good disciple, I planned for a long time. It's a pity that in the mortal realm, her tribulation, like yours, would involve experiencing the seven emotions and six desires."
"Humans, if they don't experience anything, their emotional aspect will ultimately be blank. So... I allowed her to go through all the tribulations she was meant to experience in the mortal realm."
"I even let her die once. After she was reborn, she wanted to avenge her family, and I indulged her. As long as she obediently obeyed me, her master, I would give her everything in the Six Realms."
Upon saying this, the old man in white's expression suddenly changed.
He turned his gaze to Bai Wanting: "But why... after experiencing love and relationships, and after being reborn through several lives, does she still fall in love with the same man! Why! What are men? They are all useless trash, mere stumbling blocks for her! She should be the most cold-blooded Demon Empress, the most powerful Demon Empress in the Six Realms!"
As he spoke, the old man in white became very agitated.
At this moment, Bai Wanting, due to the Blood Spirit Wine she had ingested, had been suffering from the backlash in her internal organs for a long time. Her body had become even weaker, and the spiritual energy that had been unsealed within her had long since dissipated.
The pain had lasted for half an hour and then subsided.
However, her body had already suffered irreparable damage.
With great difficulty, she raised her eyes to look at the old man in white.
Her voice was very weak: "My daughter has a heart. She will not become your... your puppet!"
When her sealed memories returned, she finally remembered her true identity.
It turned out that she and Saint Lord Bai were fellow disciples, both initiated disciples of Heavenly Spirit Venerable.
Although she and Saint Lord Bai were fellow disciples, their cultivation levels were different.
Back then, her Master, Heavenly Spirit Venerable, had predicted a tribulation for her in the mortal realm and had sent her out to complete it.
As for her daughter, even before she was pregnant, her Master had predicted that she was the reincarnation of the Purple Feather Maiden. At that time, Bai Wanting's memories of the Immortal Realm had already been sealed.
Therefore, she was unaware of what happened afterward.
It was only after recovering her memories that she recognized her Senior Brother.
She recalled everything from the Immortal Realm. As for their Master, she had not seen him; he had passed away.
She had already heard about the emotional entanglements between her daughter, the Purple Feather Maiden, and Emperor Lotus.
She had originally wanted to return to her daughter's side and protect her, but she was captured and brought here by her Senior Brother.
After being whipped with spiritual whips for forty-nine days, the spiritual energy that had recently recovered within her had almost completely dissipated.
In fact, from the very beginning, she knew that her Senior Brother had malicious intentions. When their Master was present, she had subtly reminded him multiple times, but no one believed her.
Later, her tribulation in the mortal realm began.
"Hahaha... Junior Sister, whether Qianying will only obey me, her master, depends on her feelings for you, and her feelings for them!"
As he finished speaking, the old man in white snapped his fingers towards the outside.
Immediately, two figures, clad in black robes and wearing masks, entered from outside the hall...
