Su Qiannai's tone carried a mixture of anger and mockery, making Wu Tian's already uneasy heart feel even more constricted.
Not long ago, he had been contemplating a life-or-death struggle with Su Qiannai.
But now, only self-reproach remained in his heart.
Frankly, to him, Su Qiannai was a pure enemy, and any harm inflicted upon her was not his concern.
Yet, he was also a reasonable person, who believed in addressing matters on their own merits.
Therefore, enmity was enmity, and mistakes were mistakes. He would not use revenge as an excuse to cover up his own errors.
He fell silent for a moment, then mustered his courage, looked at Su Qiannai, and said, "I'm sorry."
Su Qiannai's delicate eyebrows twitched slightly. "Sorry?"
"Do you think a simple apology is enough for something like this?"
Wu Tian was at a loss for how to respond.
His heart was a jumble of emotions, and he felt as if he were in an arena of Asuras, not knowing where to place his hands or feet.
Seeing his distressed expression, Su Qiannai changed her tone and said, "Forget it. Let's just consider this an accident. I won't pursue it further."
"What?" Wu Tian was stunned.
He hadn't expected Su Qiannai to say such a thing!
Setting aside his actions, the mere fact that Su Qiannai was still a virgin meant she couldn't possibly forgive him so easily!
But Su Qiannai quickly added, "Don't be surprised. My body was always meant to be yours; it's just that the timing was earlier than expected, and the circumstances were different from what I imagined."
Wu Tian became even more confused and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"I don't understand your words. What do you mean, 'always meant to be yours'?"
Su Qiannai looked at him and said, "It's very simple. Because we are destined to be a pair, and our union is the will of heaven."
Wu Tian's mind was a blank. He shook his head and said, "I still don't understand what you're talking about."
Su Qiannai explained, "It's okay if you don't understand. I will tell you everything you want to know."
"In ancient times, spiritual cultivators were not particularly rare. The spiritual energy was abundant then, and many people practiced cultivation."
"And there were also species called spirit beasts. Among them, the Sacred Dragon and the Heavenly Phoenix were the kings of spirit beasts."
"Later, due to a crisis no one knows about, the world faced its end. Both spiritual cultivators and spirit beasts were brutally slaughtered."
"To protect the world, the Sacred Dragon and the Heavenly Phoenix sacrificed themselves and resolved that crisis."
"As for the scene at that time, I believe you should have seen it as well."
Hearing Su Qiannai's words, Wu Tian recalled the scenes from his dreams.
If that was the case, then that sky-piercing dark shadow was the crisis itself?
This news shocked him greatly!
He had always believed that the world was as history described it.
But he never imagined that there were such great secrets hidden in the past.
Su Qiannai continued, "After the Sacred Dragon and the Heavenly Phoenix sacrificed themselves, their souls transformed into the Sacred Dragon Pearl and the Heavenly Phoenix Pearl."
"These two pearls have been circulating in the world, searching for their destined inheritors."
"I am the inheritor of the Heavenly Phoenix, so the Heavenly Phoenix Pearl came into my body."
"And you are the inheritor of the Sacred Dragon, which is why the Sacred Dragon Pearl merged with you the first time I saw you."
"This means that although you are currently in human form, your soul is actually the spirit of the Sacred Dragon."
Wu Tian was dumbfounded by this information. He looked at his hands in astonishment, feeling that such a thing was too bizarre.
He asked Su Qiannai, "No way, are you lying to me?"
"If I were truly the inheritor of that Sacred Dragon, why don't I feel anything?"
Su Qiannai replied, "That's because your Sacred Dragon bloodline had not been activated before."
"Earlier, you forcefully sealed your meridians and then used the 'Heavenly Thunder Treasure Canon' beyond your cultivation level, which caused your body to collapse, and you died."
"I used the energy of the Heavenly Phoenix Pearl to try and activate your Sacred Dragon bloodline."
"And with the help of the Sacred Dragon spirit, you were resurrected, and your spiritual energy level reached level nine."
"However, to be honest, this was a very risky move. If it had failed, both of us would have died here."
Wu Tian felt as if he was losing the ability to think.
He quickly scanned his spiritual palace and indeed saw the figure of a golden dragon within it.
At the same time, his spiritual energy had turned golden, and its purity had greatly increased compared to before.
He stared for a long, long time, but still couldn't quite grasp what had happened.
So he asked, "No, I don't understand. Who exactly are you, and what is your objective?"
"What you're telling me now is confusing me. I can't understand what you're saying anymore."
Su Qiannai said, "If you don't understand, then I'll start from the beginning."
"Don't you want to know the identity of your parents? I can tell you now."
"Neither of your parents are ordinary people. They both came from the Divine Doctor Sect."
"Your mother was the Saintess of the Divine Doctor Sect, and your father was the strongest genius in the sect for a hundred years."
"When your parents violated the sect rules and had you, it angered the high-ranking members of the Divine Doctor Sect, who directly imprisoned your parents."
"But before that, your parents sent you to Peach Blossom Village and also entrusted you with the sacred artifact of the God of Medicine."
"The sacred artifact of the God of Medicine contained all the inheritance of the God of Medicine, but for many years, no one had been able to gain the God of Medicine's recognition."
"A year ago, the Divine Doctor Sect learned that the sacred artifact was with you, so they sent me to bring back the artifact and kill you."
"I did come with that intention, but I didn't expect you to obtain the inheritance of the God of Medicine, and that you were also the inheritor of the Sacred Dragon."
"It was from that moment on that my stance changed."
"I disobeyed the orders of the Divine Doctor Sect and have been trying to help you improve."
"I asked you to make Peach Blossom Village a prosperous village within a year to enhance your strategic abilities."
"And I sent you to the Five Sects and Six Teachings so that you could obtain the Rushing Thunder Sword, the 'Swift Thunder Swordplay,' and the 'Heaven and Earth Great Shift.'"
"You completed all of this very well, successfully becoming a level nine spiritual cultivator..."
"If I hadn't done this, you would still be a level four spiritual cultivator, wouldn't you?"
For as long as Su Qiannai spoke, Wu Tian's mind became more and more muddled.
This information was too impactful for him.
He had never imagined that things would turn out this way.
His parents were actually renowned figures from the Divine Doctor Sect!
And Su Qiannai, whom he considered his mortal enemy, had been secretly helping him all along!
It was preposterous!
Was there anything more absurd in the world than this?
