Chapter 506: Chapter 510: Unrivaled in the World (22)
Despite this, the people of the Su Family remained silent, not daring to breathe even a whisper of doubt.
The Granny of the Su Family was known as the unparalleled Lotus Saintess, and her entanglement with her own family was crystal clear to every disciple of the Su Family. Yet, none of them had inherited the will of Old Master Su and Su Yao to hold up family honor as the highest goal in life.
Thus, faced with this formidable Saintess, they had no choice but to treat her with utmost respect, not daring to speak a single word out of line.
Nevertheless, every year rumors of the imminent death of the Lotus Saintess never ceased.
At the time of Su Zhi and Su Yao’s deaths, Su Li had never been absent.
Each one had died with her smiling beside them, watching as they took their last breath.
Indeed, every one of them had expected the eternally living Su Li to eventually die, yet it was they who proceeded her in death, unable to even close their eyes in peace.
Truly, Su Li lived year after year, and even the younger generations of the Su Family began to pass away, yet in the worldly society, tales of the Lotus Saintess’s whereabouts continued to spread.
Her very existence struck terror into the hearts of the wicked, and aside from the Su Family, countless people cursed her to die each year.
Yet, she just kept persevering like a thousand-year-old tortoise, outliving batch after batch of people, until at the very end, the Undying Sect that carried her will developed into one of the top sects. No one knew whether she had died or was still living carefree in some corner of the world, ready to spring out and harvest your life the moment a wicked thought crossed your mind.

"How is the Princess Consort today?"
"Back to Your Highness, the Princess Consort is the same as before, always saying there’s a woman in blue clothes coming to claim her life."
Prince Zheng let out a deep sigh and wearily waved his hand, "You may go."
Hesitating on the spot for a while, Prince Zheng eventually stepped back into the Princess Consort’s courtyard.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Prince Zheng heard the Princess Consort shouting and screaming. Glancing over, he saw the Princess Consort with her hair disheveled, darting around the courtyard with such strength that not even a few sturdy old women could restrain her.
Listening to the Princess Consort’s incoherent babbling, Prince Zheng inevitably thought of that elegant girl.
Her favorite was to wear blue dresses.
Sky blue, lake blue, deep blue... No matter what shade, it suited her exceptionally well.
That was when he was young and first tasted love—sweet, bitter, and brief.
But the fleeting affection of youth could not withstand the comfort of long-term companionship and physical intimacy.
The image of that girl had long been forgotten in the hallway of his memory and yet unexpectedly became a thorn lodged in his wife’s heart.
The Princess Consort had never spoken to him about it, and he had thought that after the two gradually came to understand and love each other, she would have let go. He did not expect that she would do so many unreasonable things because of this thorn.
Was it that he failed to provide the Princess Consort with enough sense of security, or that he had never truly understood his own wife? Prince Zheng could find no answers.
Did he not love her enough?
For her, he had declined concubines offered by the palace, dismissed all the maids, and devoted himself solely to her.
He believed the Princess Consort understood and knew his heart, but the reality harshly slapped his face, so much so that now he could not even decide how to face her.
When he heard that something had happened to the Buddhist Sect, and that the Princess Consort was involved, he rushed there panic-stricken with a group of people.
But it was precisely then that he overheard the dealings between his Princess Consort and Master Wu Jin.
The girl he had once loved had been wrongfully defamed, and aside from the contributions of her half-sister, she herself had played a role in it.
Even as the two harmonized with their music, she didn’t spare the daughter born to the other party, and what frightened him even more was the role she had played when the girl died in childbirth.
Prince Zheng wanted to be angry, but when he saw her fall into madness, he softened, after all, she had been his wife for decades.
A little flutter of the heart in one’s youth, how could that compare with the love and kinship that comes from constant companionship?
Prince Zheng had thought of taking revenge on Miss Su for causing all this, but she was shameless.
Not only did he fail to get revenge, but he ended up dragging himself down as well.
She had become influential, and targeting her would only provoke public rage, especially from the young heir of Prince Zhenan Mansion.
He had thought he was dealing with a weak and defenseless little lamb, but it turned out to be a fierce and ferocious wolf cub.
Now his days were far from easy, no, they were extremely difficult.
Every time he thought of these troubles, the pity he felt for the Princess Consort evaporated without a trace.
Shaking his sleeve, he didn’t even enter the courtyard and turned to leave.
The frenzied Princess Zheng caught a glimpse of her husband at the door, and her chaotic consciousness suddenly cleared for a moment, "Prince..."
Prince Zheng paused in his step, but did not turn his head, simply instructing the old women beside the Princess Consort, "Take good care of the Princess Consort, don’t let her run around and scream."
A desolate look appeared in Princess Zheng’s eyes.
Feelings are the thinnest, and the human heart is the coldest.
Loving him, she changed herself beyond recognition, lost her conscience, only to realize now that this man was truly heartless.
He had always loved only himself.

In the depths of a dense, lush forest, on a towering tree reaching into the clouds, concealed by layers of leaves, hung a gigantic egg.
The surface of the egg occasionally shimmered with flowing light, making it clear even to an ignorant child that this was no ordinary object.
Centered around the great tree, within a ten-mile radius, animals and insects were silent and hidden. Even the occasional small creatures that stumbled in hurriedly fled in panic as if intimidated by the imposing presence of some mighty existence, not daring to linger within the range of its oppressive aura.
Su Li arrived in fear, finding herself without limbs.
More precisely, she felt the existence of what seemed to be two claws.
It seemed that this time, she was not even a human but had directly become an animal...
She moved slightly, and warm, water-like energy brushed over her body, bringing comforting ripples of warmth that made her want to sleep.
After accepting the memories, Su Li fully understood her current situation.
She was now a not-so-pureblooded Phoenix, but she was still inside an egg, not yet time to break out.
The warm thing that had previously comforted her was the egg fluid enveloping her within the egg.
Su Li’s vision couldn’t discern objects, and the environment inside the egg was dark and gloomy, somewhat similar to the scenes within Chaos.
But she didn’t have the time to reflect on these things, as time was running out for her.
She needed to start cultivating immediately; she didn’t want to become someone’s Beast Taming creature before she had a chance to see the new world after hatching.
