Li Xiaonan rolled his eyes, muttering to himself, "Is this a non-answer? Is this how she gets back at me? Just to make me unable to hold my head up for the rest of my life? Is this woman’s brain made of water? Has it flooded?"
A series of crisp metallic clinks echoed, and Li Xiaonan's gaze fixed on the prison door as a burly man slowly entered, pressing a silver figure down.
Li Xiaonan was taken aback, seemingly beginning to understand Ice Maiden's words.
It was indeed quite embarrassing, especially to appear so helpless in front of his woman; he truly felt unable to lift his head.
When Luna saw Li Xiaonan, she was also stunned, her heart feeling as if it had been stabbed hard, causing tears to burst from her eyes. She exclaimed, "Xiao Nan!" Just as she was about to rush towards him, the burly man yanked the iron chain behind her, restraining her.
"Nana! I'm fine, don't worry!" Li Xiaonan could have communicated with Luna through Spirit Tree, but fearing that Ice Maiden would notice the change in Luna's expression, he could only continue to play the role of the locked-up waste known as Yuan Ying.
Ice Maiden sneered and said, "This woman has deceived you; she even tricked you into bed. Why did you accept her? And I... this is unfair; I hate it!"
As she spoke, she raised the whip and brought it down forcefully once more.
"Don't hit him! Stop hitting Xiao Nan! If you want to hit someone, hit me!" Luna struggled against the chains, which clinked loudly, yet she could not move an inch.
"Is that so?" Ice Maiden smiled as she put away the whip and slowly walked in front of Luna, scrutinizing her from head to toe. Her expression turned cold as she said to the burly man, "Those wings make me very uncomfortable! Break them!"
"Don't! Ice Maiden, please!" Before the burly man could move, Li Xiaonan couldn't help but shout anxiously.
The moment that fat man made any move, he would break free from the chains and rush forward to take him down with a kick!
"Haha! Stop! I've changed my mind. What if I let another man violate your woman right in front of you? Wouldn't that be more interesting?" Ice Maiden sneered at Li Xiaonan.
"Ice Maiden, what do you want? Fine, if you want the Harmony Technique, I'll give it to you!" Li Xiaonan secretly gathered his True Essence Power in his hands. As soon as Ice Maiden made a move, he wouldn't hesitate to deal with this woman right then and there!
"Hahaha! You beg me! You beg me, and I'll let this woman go!" Ice Maiden laughed, her beautiful face twisted into a grotesque expression, making her look utterly unrecognizable.
Luna frowned slightly; if she could, she truly wanted to drive Ice Maiden insane!
"Mother..." A weak call halted Ice Maiden's madness.
She took a deep breath and said calmly, "Xiao Bei, you're here too. Mother wants you to watch a good show!"
She raised her delicate white arm and pointed at Li Xiaonan, instructing the burly man, "Go tear his clothes off and use all the Torture Devices on him!"
The strong man nodded and rushed in front of Li Xiaonan, tearing his clothes with a loud rip.
Li Xiaonan's scarred body was exposed to the air, making him appear even more haggard and frail.
Li Xiaobei bit her lip in distress, turning her head away in embarrassment. She couldn't bear to look; the man who had once been so spirited now looked worse than a beggar.
Li Xiaonan lowered his head, contemplating that if he suddenly erupted to deal with Ice Maiden, it shouldn't be a problem. However, the Thousand Ties on Ice Maiden and Xiao Bei seemed to have some connection beyond mere communication. This made him hesitant to act rashly.
If he accidentally harmed his daughter in the process, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
Suddenly, a fragrant smell of roasted meat wafted from Li Xiaonan's body. The fiery brand pressed against the wound on his abdomen caused a sharp pain that immediately interrupted his thoughts, and instinctively, he curled up like a shrimp.
Damn it! Do you think this is one of the top ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty? If they really used all the Torture Devices on me, even if my cultivation was restored at this moment, I would still be in excruciating pain!
No way!
"First, trap the Ice Maiden with the Red Plum Thirteen Folds!" Li Xiaonan thought decisively. Then he would take Luna and Xiao Bei and run! After that, they could discuss their plans in detail.
With his mind made up, Li Xiaonan prepared to break the chains and push the fat man aside with a powerful strike. However, a Flying Sword suddenly shot out and pierced the fat man's waist.
A small figure abruptly stepped in front of him, coldly declaring, "You are not allowed to hit him again!"
Li Xiaonan focused his gaze and was surprised to see his daughter, Li Xiaobei. A warmth spread through his heart, making him forget the pain he felt. He smiled softly at Li Xiaobei's back.
Li Xiaobei sensed the intense gaze behind her and could guess it belonged to that disgusting man.
She herself didn’t know what had compelled her to rush out and protect Li Xiaonan. Now, looking at the furious expression on the Ice Maiden's face, she regretted her decision.
What was I thinking? Why did I save this bad man? Without needing Mental Power, I can feel that Mother is very angry right now; the consequences will be severe.
The Ice Maiden's lips twitched as she coldly said, "Good! Very good! For a disobedient child like you, not only will your own parents abandon you, but I will too! Get out! Leave this estate right now!"
Li Xiaobei was taken aback. She had guessed the beginning but not the ending. This Ice Maiden, who had been like a friend or family member for several months, was now saying she didn’t want her anymore.
Could it be that all those days of care were just lies?
"Tsk tsk tsk! Bing Er, it's not Brother Zhao who says this, but really, is it necessary to make everyone's relationships so tense?" Zhao Hai appeared in the dungeon at some point, mocking them coldly.
"Celestial Lord, I..." The Ice Maiden bit her lip and slowly lowered her head. It was true; one thing conquers another.
Li Xiaonan sighed; plans could never keep up with changes. For now, he could only continue to observe the situation.
Zhao Hai smiled as he walked over to Li Xiaobei and gently patted her stunned cheek. "Li Xiaonan, will you hand her over or not? If your answer is no, then I'm sorry; your daughter... heh heh!" As he spoke, he suddenly grabbed Li Xiaobei's delicate neck tightly.
Li Xiaonan was startled and exclaimed, "What are you doing? Let go of my daughter! If you want the Harmony Technique, I will give it to you!"
Even more surprised than Li Xiaonan was Li Xiaobei. She struggled to glance at Zhao Hai, tears shimmering in her eyes.
Why? Why does Uncle Zhao Hai want to kill me too? Why doesn't anyone like Xiao Bei?
Is Xiao Bei really that detestable? That's why my mother doesn't love me, my father doesn't acknowledge me, even Mother doesn't want me, and now Uncle Zhao Hai wants Xiao Bei dead?
Wuwuwuwu... If that's the case, then Xiao Bei won't live anymore. That way, you all won't be angry. If I die, will that bad guy feel guilty? Then he will remember Xiao Bei for the rest of his life, right?
Thinking this way, Li Xiaobei glanced at Li Xiaonan with difficulty and thought to herself: If there is a next life, I will definitely find a father who loves and cherishes me. He doesn’t have to be handsome, he doesn’t have to be smart, he doesn’t have to be strong, but...
He won’t hurt me, he won’t scold me; he will smile at me. Whatever I want, he will give it to me—even if I ask for the stars in the sky, he will pick them for me.
When I am happy, he will laugh with me; when I am sad, he will make me laugh. He will grow up with me; wherever my father goes, I will go too...
In the late stage of Heart Movement, Li Xiaobei's foundation was already unstable. At this moment, her emotions were in turmoil, causing her True Essence Power to go completely awry, spiraling out of control like someone in a mental hospital.
Her meridians ruptured and internal organs bled. In an instant, she was bleeding from all seven orifices and her consciousness began to fade.
Seeing this, Li Xiaonan's fury erupted. "You dare harm my daughter!"
With a powerful effort, he broke the chains binding him. One hand swung the Carefree Fan towards Zhao Hai while the other reached for Li Xiaobei.
Zhao Hai had not expected things to turn out this way. In a moment of panic, he met the Carefree Fan with a palm strike but inadvertently loosened his grip. Li Xiaobei was swiftly pulled into Li Xiaonan's embrace.
"Seven-Level Pagoda!" Li Xiaonan shouted as he dashed into the Pagoda with Luna and Li Xiaobei.
With the current defense of the Seven-Level Pagoda, not even two immortals could break through!
He gently patted Li Xiaobei's flushed cheek, anxiously calling out, "Xiao Bei! Xiao Bei, wake up!"
Li Xiaobei furrowed her brows slightly and slowly opened her eyes, her expression dazed as she murmured, "...it hurts..."
"It's okay! Daddy won't let anything happen to you!" Li Xiaonan waved his hand, scattering a pile of bottles and jars on the ground—some for treating external injuries, some for internal ones, and others for restoring True Essence Power. Yet, there was nothing to balance her state.
"Ah!" He roared in anguish, looking at her pale face that had lost all color, pulling Li Xiaobei into his embrace with pain.
The farthest distance in the world is not between life and death, but when a father stands before his own daughter yet does not recognize her!
The farthest distance is not merely that a father and daughter meet without knowing each other; it is when they have recognized one another yet must send the black-haired man away with the yellow-haired girl!
"Xiao Nan... don't panic. Let's think of a way... We will definitely save Xiao Bei!" Luna comforted him through her tears.
As Xiao Bei's mother, no one felt more heartache than her at this moment, except for Li Xiaonan. More than that was guilt; if it weren't for her own stubbornness years ago, they wouldn't be facing such a tragic outcome now.
"A way? Yes! I have a way! Harmony Technique!"
In his heart, he believed that the Harmony Technique from Obedient Dragon II was only suitable for couples to cultivate together. But now that his daughter was in imminent danger, he didn't care about those moral standards anymore.
He quickly removed Li Xiaobei's clothing and held her small, cool body tightly in his arms, softly saying, "Xiao Bei, don't be afraid. Daddy will save you! It won't hurt soon!"
He closed his eyes and activated the Harmony Technique, his consciousness sinking into Li Xiaobei's body. If one were to compare a person's body to the world itself, then at this moment, Li Xiaobei was like a sea dried up and stones eroded, with heaven collapsing and earth shattering!
Since Li Xiaobei had not yet reached Yuan Ying stage, Li Xiaonan could not use Obedient Dragon II to guide her recovery; he could only hover above the Lotus Seat.
The lotus flower had lost its former brilliance and had instead entered a state of withering.
He flipped his hands, forming a seal, and struck the lotus with it.
At the same time, he replaced the Purple Lotus, drawing back the scattered True Essence Power, slowly repairing the damaged meridians.
As time passed, Li Xiaonan, this temporary embodiment of Nüwa, finally managed to restore the heavens. His daughter's body should be fine now.
However, he discovered a more serious problem: his daughter's Mental Power was very weak, which meant she had no will to survive—she didn't want to live!
Damn it!
He cursed silently, flipping his hands again. He pressed his index finger against his temple and channeled his consciousness into the Spirit Platform's Spirit Tree, forcibly plucking a leaf to transplant it onto Li Xiaobei's Spirit Platform.
He used his own consciousness to replace her original consciousness, allowing Li Xiaobei to continue living.
When Li Xiaonan awakened from his meditation, he felt utterly exhausted. He had never encountered such a situation while practicing the Harmony Technique.
He didn't have time to ponder whether this could be considered a father-daughter bond; his body swayed and collapsed onto the ground as he gasped for breath.
