Si Taizhen looked at her father, the last flame in her eyes extinguished.
From her father's behavior today, it was clear he had been plotting against her for a long time. The father-daughter affection he'd shown in the past was merely a ruse to lower her guard.
'It seems Father's past affection was just to keep me obediently caged within the Jade Poison Kingdom.'
After condensing her Golden Core, she had no desire to be confined to the Jade Poison Kingdom. She once thought of leaving to travel the world, but her father flatly refused. To placate her, he even handed over a portion of the kingdom's authority to her.
Si Taizhen had once believed her father was simply worried she would face danger on her travels. Now, she realized he was only afraid of losing the secret treasure she carried.
"My life is a gift from you and Mother, and my Cultivation was granted by you, Father. Since you want it, then take it all."
