Ye Fan didn’t have any particular feelings toward Su Nu.

Among so many ancient cultivators, Su Nu was considered the most ordinary; he didn’t feel he should accept her. Accepting her without feelings would make him feel very uneasy inside.

"No need to do anything," Ye Fan said. "In my eyes, you’re just someone who does things for me. You don’t need to prove yourself, and I don’t need you as a vessel to help me cultivate. My level of cultivation has little to do with you."

Su Nu appeared very sad and said, "Do I really mean so little to my master?"

Ye Fan replied, "Su Nu, you are an ancient cultivator. There isn’t really a channel for us to communicate. From the start, I never intended to make you my woman. As for Xi He and Xuan Nu, they are different from you. You don’t need to use this method to gain my approval. Those who can help me accomplish things are what I truly need. Do you wish to be a useless flower vase?"

Su Nu’s face turned pale due to the intense blow to her pride. Ye Fan said, "You can leave now. I still need to meet with Xuan Nu and the others to discuss some matters. Immediately go and find Shen Yan or that mysterious power that intruded into the secret realm. As long as you can uncover it, I will highly appreciate you..."

As he spoke, Ye Fan pinched Su Nu’s chin, lifted her head, and said, "I might even appreciate you more than Xuan Nu and Xi He!"

Su Nu stood up, turning to leave the Grand Hall of Heavenly Peak Mountain. Originally, Ye Fan thought Su Nu wouldn’t be able to pass through the barrier of Heavenly Peak Mountain from the inside, but as Su Nu reached the edge of the barrier, she effortlessly passed through. It was then Ye Fan realized that these ancient cultivators indeed possessed many powers beyond his comprehension.

...

...

After leaving Heavenly Peak Mountain, Su Nu sensed that Xuan Nu and Sang Yuan, under Xi He’s guidance, were arriving at Heavenly Peak Mountain.

Because Xi He had a Pure Yang constitution, she could lead Xuan Nu and Sang Yuan through that barrier. Su Nu looked toward the direction of Heavenly Peak Mountain, her eyes filled with resentment, understanding that her status in Ye Fan’s heart was not high—certainly lower than Xuan Nu and Xi He, and even lower than Sang Yuan.

"Am I so worthless that the master considers me a woman unworthy of even giving myself?" Su Nu said helplessly.

No one could answer her, so she could only follow Ye Fan’s instructions to find the mysterious force that had previously captured Shen Yan. But before she reached the Sea of Death, she felt a powerful force closing in on her. She immediately stopped at the shore, vigilantly scanning the direction from which the mysterious force was coming.

"There’s no need to be wary of me, Su Nu. It is I... your Lady Nuwa!" A woman descended from the sky, her power immense. Su Nu knew there was a significant gap between her and this power, and she dared not confront Nuwa directly.

Su Nu scrutinized Nuwa standing on the reef and said, "Are you Nuwa? I find it hard to believe you..."

"Su Nu, I know what you’re thinking. You believe I am a clone of Nuwa, but I know all your cultivation systems because I created you. I can easily make you die or let you live. That’s my ability..."

As Nuwa spoke, she stretched out her hand. Her hand seemed to have a tightening spell; with a slight movement of her palm, Su Nu felt the Spiritual Energy within her body surging uncontrollably.

"Now do you believe me?" Nuwa asked.

"I’ll put it this way, Nuwa," Su Nu said coldly. "I simply cannot trust you. Trusting you once and failing, would make me a fool if I believed you again. Among so many ancient cultivators, you are the most unpredictable. Before, I didn’t understand why, but now I see it’s because you have many avatars, and you impersonate your own thoughts, creating countless manifestations just like you, only to change based on your circumstances... Among so many ancient cultivators, even Xuan Nu lost her body, yet only you survived. You probably used fabricated power to gain Pan Gu and Fu Xi’s trust, am I wrong?"

Nuwa laughed, "Why do you think so much? You are my creation, my daughter. Everything about you, I know thoroughly. If in the future, I am no longer around, I can end your life at any time. Isn’t that enough?"

"Was that mysterious power summoned by you?" Su Nu asked harshly.

"What mysterious power?" Nuwa appeared puzzled.

Su Nu said, "Earlier, a mysterious power captured a woman by my master’s side. This power is unlike any in the world, terrifying in its stealth and greater than the dark forces of demonic cultivation. Who else but you could summon such mighty power?"

Nuwa laughed, "Do you think I am the most powerful being in this world? Then where do you place Pan Gu and Fu Xi? They have reappeared, and you shouldn’t be unaware of this. Instead, it is that human who has more self-awareness than you. I met him before; indeed, he possesses wisdom beyond ordinary people, yet he is also just an ignorant ordinary person. Su Nu, it’s not too late for you to return from your straying. I offer you the chance to rejoin my allegiance, and I will help you break free from Ye Fan’s Blood Oath control. What do you think?"

"You can help me break the Blood Oath?" Su Nu seemed incredulous.

Nuwa said, "You might find it hard to believe, but you should know, this kind of power was originally researched by Pan Gu and me to deal with disobedient lower-level cultivators. Unexpectedly, it ended up being used on you... Alas, it is rather depressing that a human has managed to control you, perhaps because of the Blood Oath’s overly simplistic operation. Among us ancient cultivators, whoever controls your cultivation elements can control your life and death. It is quite cruel!"

"So how do I break free from the Blood Oath?" Su Nu’s eyes were fervent because she had already contemplated leaving Ye Fan. After all, Ye Fan hadn’t accepted her before, and she is a meticulous woman, never leaving herself any way back.

Nuwa smiled, "Unless you pledge complete allegiance to me, I currently have a better method, allowing you to completely rid yourself of the Blood Oath and remain forever loyal to me, more reliably than any Blood Oath. But rest assured, I won’t easily kill you, because I inherently control your cultivation elements. I am your creator, and I can decide anyone’s death, even Xi He and Xuan Nu have no chance to fight back, let alone a human cultivator."

Su Nu frowned deeply, and after a moment, she shook her head and said, "You’re so dangerous, I won’t believe your sincerity!"
