Xi Yue's eyelids felt as if they were weighed down by a thousand pounds. She opened her eyes but didn't open them. She just murmured in a low voice, "Senior Yun, why are you so nice to me?"
The girl's voice was so soft and low that it would be almost inaudible if you weren't close to her.
But Yun Tianyi felt that every nerve in his body was tense, and there was even sweat oozing out of his palms.
After a while, he whispered, "If I had a daughter, she would be as smart and beautiful as you. I would use everything I have to protect her and treat her well."
“Daughter… father…?” Xi Yue murmured, her consciousness had begun to sink into sleep, and her voice became lower and lower.
Just when Yun Tianyi thought she would not speak again, he heard the girl's murmur like a dream.
"I also imagined that my father would be as majestic as a mountain and protect me, and give me and my brother a home, so that we wouldn't have to wander around and be alone. But that's not the case! Without a father or a mother... the only person we can rely on is ourselves!"
"No matter how hard or painful it is, we can only rely on ourselves and grit our teeth to get through it... We no longer need a father..."
Yun Tianyi's hand, which was originally holding Xi Yue's soft little hand, trembled violently. It took a long time before he slowly retracted his hand and then clenched it into a fist.
Veins bulged on the back of his hands, and the spiritual power in his body seemed to be running wild, but he suppressed it firmly.
"Master..." Sishe called worriedly behind him.
Yun Tianyi took a deep breath and finally suppressed the surging spiritual energy. He reached out his slightly trembling hand and touched the girl's sleeping face.
"I'm sorry." The man's low and hoarse voice was filled with endless pain and regret, and it kept echoing in Xi Yue's dream. "I'm sorry, it's Daddy who didn't take good care of you and made you suffer so much."
"Yuer, give daddy another chance. I will definitely learn to be a good father. I will definitely give you a home where you can rely on it with confidence."
"Xiyue, my daughter..."

Xi Yue spent the next few days recovering from her injuries.
She originally thought that her injury this time was extremely serious and would likely leave her with severe sequelae, or even cause her cultivation to regress.
But unexpectedly, Dandan and the little red bird searched the entire Sumeru space during this period of time, and actually found an upgraded version of the endless life method in the few palaces that had just been opened.
When Xi Yue got the upgraded version of the Everlasting Life Sutra, she suspected that the Xumi Space knew her situation and provided it to her specially.
Because this method is completely tailored to her current injuries, it can repair her dantian and nourish her meridians.
In addition, the little red bird also found a pill recipe next to it, with "Tianshou Pill" written on it.
The recipe for this pill is extremely complicated, with over a hundred kinds of spiritual medicines in total, mixed with ten kinds of complicated formations. Xi Yue felt dizzy at just one look at it.
Among the hundreds of magical medicines, Xi Yue had never even heard of more than twenty of them.
Even among the other seventy kinds, half of them were obtained by Xi Yue in this Yuankong Ancient Realm.
"Who can make this kind of elixir?" Even with Xi Yue's talent in alchemy, she couldn't help but complain.
But soon she found a line of small words at the end of the recipe: Reduce the number of elixirs by half and use only one to three formations to obtain a weakened version of the Tianshou Pill. Although it cannot live as long as the heaven and earth, it can extend life by 500 years and can be combined with other life-extending elixirs. (To be continued)
