"Wait, no, Mom, what do you mean?"
"Can't you see she's crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?"
"Mom, you're my own mother..."
"Just be content. If you weren't my own child, I might have dismantled the bridge and slaughtered the donkey."
"So I should thank you?"
"That's not necessary. Even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs, right? The key is that you're really of no use to me anymore. What help can you provide?"
After this exchange, Ding Yun was genuinely speechless. With Su Yunxiao having completely mastered the ability to create law-level weapons, both she and the golden finger she brought had lost their value.
But her mother had never been so deceitful before.
"Wait, that's not right. You, you can't be my mom, can you? My mom wouldn't be like this. No..."
Initially, Ding Yun was angry, but she quickly realized that her biological mother didn't seem this manipulative. Then, she opened her previous contact list and examined it carefully, only to discover that although the name and photo displayed were the same as her biological mother's, the contact number was off by one digit.
She just hadn't noticed it before.
After all, they were all people in her contact list. With a profile picture and a name displayed, who would bother to pay special attention to the contact number?
And then, Ding Yun's furious roar followed:
"Aunt, isn't this going too far?"
That's right. Through the contact list, Ding Yun immediately realized that the person who had contacted her just now and brought her here was her aunt, Su Bixiao. She had merely changed her contact name and avatar to look exactly like Ding Yun's mother. Crucially, she had even transformed into Su Yunxiao's appearance. Ding Yun couldn't possibly check if her own mother was real before greeting her.
She had been fooled.
Seeing that she had been completely exposed, Su Bixiao finally resumed her original appearance and said with a teasing smile:
"Who I am, don't you know very well?
I forgot to tell you, Jin Xinxin has a special imprint I placed on him. Whenever I wish, I can know what he's doing and saying at any time. I didn't miss a single word of your complaints about me.
Talking badly about elders behind their backs is not a good habit.
Last time you told him I was too reckless and that's why I failed, and I was afraid you'd misunderstand, so I specially let you experience it yourself. I'm not that reckless; I have some brains. I can at least scheme against you. What, isn't it interesting?"
"Aunt, you're too terrifying.
Who puts listening devices on their own son? Xinxin doesn't understand you deeply enough. This isn't ordinary possessiveness; this is pathological possessiveness. Wait, you said tigers don't eat their cubs.
Oh my god, Jin Xinxin didn't come with you this time.
Did you break his legs..."
It had to be said that Ding Yun was genuinely breaking out in a cold sweat and felt fortunate that she didn't have such a mother. Although her biological mother was a bit indifferent, she didn't control her much, let alone have such an absurd level of possessiveness. Installing a monitoring device on her own son and hearing everything he said daily, wasn't that pathological?
Seeing Ding Yun's thoughts becoming more and more outrageous, Su Bixiao couldn't help but interrupt: "You better stop talking.
And stop those wild thoughts in your head. Don't think of me as some pervert. While I did place an imprint on Xinxin, it's not activated all the time. I can only hear what he's saying when he mentions me!
If he didn't used to call for his mother whenever something happened and expected me to be there instantly, why would I go through all this trouble?
Alright, alright, we're even now. Don't blame me for scheming against you, and I won't blame you for talking badly about me behind my back. How about that? Besides, this could be considered a slight reminder.
If I hadn't reminded you, how long would you have been stuck in your own head? We're even, even!
Hurry up and go. Start your own venture.
With this conceptual river god, your technological development will be very fast. If you work with me, it will be complicated when it comes to dividing the profits. Most importantly, you're really of no help to me right now."
Good heavens, she was clearly the one who benefited and was still acting so self-righteously. It was just a few words spoken behind her back.
Who doesn't talk about people behind their backs these days?
Did she really need to hold a grudge until now?
However, in the end, Ding Yun felt she was slightly in the wrong, so after some thought, she decided to accept it and not argue further. Before leaving, out of concern for Jin Xinxin, who could barely be considered a companion, Ding Yun specifically asked again:
"Alright, consider it my bad luck.
By the way, Aunt, before I go, can you tell me what happened to Jin Xinxin? Did he really go on vacation? You didn't do anything to him, did you? With your vindictive nature, he probably won't end up too badly, right?"
"Don't worry, he really went on vacation. I just confiscated all his cards, sealed all his cultivation, and sent him to the Savage Ancient Star for a trip. He should be having a wonderful time playing with many ancient fierce beasts now."
Su Bixiao pouted.
She answered with a relaxed and cheerful smile.
"Heh heh, Xinxin is truly fortunate to have such a good mother. Well then, I won't chat with you any longer. I'm leaving!"
Well, good heavens, Ding Yun felt like shedding a tear for Jin Xinxin. The Savage Ancient Star itself wasn't a terrifying place, just a bit populated with fierce beasts and savage beasts, like Tyrannosaurus Rexes and Sky-Swallowing Snakes. If you had money, you could enjoy yourself leisurely there. If you had the ability, you could also enjoy yourself leisurely. But if you lacked money and ability, you'd only be played with by the fierce and savage beasts.
Things like a day trip in stomach acid or serrated massages.
Alas, just thinking about it made one know how miserable he would be.
Compared to that, Ding Yun suddenly felt that being deceived wasn't such a big deal. In fact, she felt quite lucky.
Fortunately, her biological mother was relatively normal.
As indifferent as she was, she was at least normal!
While thinking and flying, Ding Yun soon left her aunt's territory. Because she was flying aimlessly and randomly, she accidentally flew towards the Immortal-Demonic Sea and directly crossed the boundary.
She flew from the Immortal Realm to the Demonic Realm.
Su Bixiao, in order to develop technology and, more importantly, to avoid being discovered by higher-level immortals while developing technology, specifically built her fortress in a remote area. And the remote areas of the Immortal Realm were mostly near the border between the Immortal and Demonic Realms.
Or ancient Immortal-Demonic battlefields.
The Immortal-Demonic Sea, theoretically, could prevent any immortal from entering the Demonic Realm and any demon from entering the Immortal Realm. However, Ding Yun's true form had not cultivated at all; she had ascended purely through her soul realm and Su Bixiao's guiding power.
She had neither immortal energy nor demonic energy in her body.
When the Immortal-Demonic Sea was first established, no one considered that someone would have neither immortal energy nor demonic energy in their body.
Therefore, Ding Yun was naturally not within the restriction.
Furthermore, there was no one specifically guarding this area, nor anyone to stop her or guide her. Thus, Ding Yun, in her confused state, ended up flying across the boundary.
It wasn't until a long time after crossing the boundary, when she felt the surrounding environment had changed and the air she breathed was no longer fresh, that Ding Yun realized she might have flown to the wrong place. She specifically scanned the surroundings with her spiritual power to understand the situation.
