She will never forget that day when her father pointed at her mother’s nose and scolded her for being vicious and inhuman.
Her mother also pointed at the father’s nose and scolded him for being heartless and cold.
She never knew why her loving parents suddenly became like that.
She was so frightened that she hid in the corner and dared not say a word.
That day, her mother said that if her father dared to leave, he would die outside.
But her father said that he will not die, he will live to show her.
Her father left, and her mother stood at the courtyard gate every day, looking forward to the distance.
She looked forward to the day when her father would come back.
Two months later, her father came back and brought back an ice cicada. He pointed to his mother and said, “I have used the ice cicada to detoxify the poison of Love Gu, and I will never touch a finger of yours again. I feel disgusted seeing you, I have never loved you these years. If you didn’t use the Love Gu to control me, I, an imposing seven-foot man, do you think I would sleep with my enemy’s arms all day long?”
On that day, she saw the ice cicada in her father’s hand, a snow-white insect with a pair of wings with light blue tails, which was put in a palm-sized glass bottle by her father. It was still alive, and every two hours, it will discharge milky white feces, and that feces was a good medicine to relieve the Love Gu.
Her father wanted to take her away. He said he didn’t want his daughter to go on the road of no return like her mother.
But her mother said she will kill him by forcing the gu, and in the end, her father finally gave up. He took his ice cicada, some clothes, and a cleat she wore when she was a baby, and just left.
After that day, she never saw her father again. She couldn’t even remember what her father looked like.
She didn’t tell Bai Zhi about this but just went through it in her heart.
The more she thought about it, the more bitter she felt.
Does her father know that she will the old path of her mother?
Hulifei Na nodded: “Yes, I have seen the real Ice Cicada with my own eyes.”
Bai Zhi was delighted in her heart, at this moment, she was still willing to believe in Hulifei Na.
Some people liked to tell lies, and the lies come out of their mouths casually and easily like eating food every day.
While some people, although they occasionally lie, people can distinguish when she was lying and when she was not.
She believed in her vision and believed that the current Hulifei Na was not lying.
Kunlun Mountain is that mysterious, dangerous, and illusory place.
She doesn’t know how many legends there were about myths that come from Kunlun Mountain.
She doesn’t know how many rare herbs, rare birds, and rare animals come from Kunlun Mountain. If the ice cicada, which was extremely poisonous in the world, also comes from Kunlun Mountain, she was not surprised at all.
“Okay, I see.” Bai Zhi nodded to Hulifei Na, then turn around and leave.
Hulifei Na hurriedly got up, and shouted towards Bai Zhi’s back: “So, you will go to Kunlun Mountain? Find this ice cicada for him?”
Bai Zhi didn’t look back, but only hummed softly.
Hulifei Na said again: “That’s Kunlun. How many people entered Kunlun but never came back? My father went to Kunlun to look for Ice Cicada and took more than a hundred people with him. In the end, only a few people came back. Aren’t you afraid?”
Bai Zhi shook her head: “Not afraid.”
Hulifei Na stared blankly at Bai Zhi’s disappearing back and murmured to herself: She has never been to Kunlun Mountain, and she doesn’t know the dangers of Kunlun. Once she goes, she will regret it.
There was a better and easy way to go, why? Why did they choose to take such a dangerous path?
Could it be that the women from Hulifei Family were more terrifying than Kunlun Mountain?
Standing in the courtyard, she laughed out loud, while tears flowed down her cheeks, and then burst into tears, heartbreakingly.

It might be true that HLFN is lonely and was not taught what love is, but she knows what pain is, and she chose to inflict it on others, rather than say that because pain was not something she enjoyed, she didn’t want to be the cause of it to others…same with SL…
poor girl, I hope she manages to change her ways. It seems like she was groomed by her mother from the start and has never been able to think that there might be another way.
