Questioning My Parents

Sean Shaw ignored him and spoke directly to the Celestial Emperor: "Father, Adrian Drake still has a Divine Crimson Pill! Let her take it—ask her, right here in front of everyone, exactly what she's plotting!"

The Celestial Empress's eyes grew cold.

That Divine Crimson Pill again!

The Celestial Emperor nodded at Sean’s words and ordered, "Untie them!"

Leo Li reluctantly dispelled the prison cage.

Last time, Adrian Drake stole a Golden Immortal Swallow Nest and managed to refine two more Divine Crimson Pills.

He took one out and handed it to the Celestial Emperor.

The Celestial Emperor passed it to Lucia Lu, saying, "If you want to prove your innocence, this is the only way."

Lucia Lu stared at the Divine Crimson Pill, then reached out and took it. "Your Majesty, please ask me three questions."

"What?" asked the Celestial Emperor.

"First, my relationship with Senior Bianca; second, why I visited her several times—what I did and said; third..." She turned to Tanya Lu. "Did I actually frame Tanya Lu?"

Tanya Lu's eyes darted nervously, sneaking glances at the Celestial Empress.

The Celestial Empress remained expressionless, completely unreadable.

Tanya was just a pawn—whether she got punished or not, the Empress didn't care.

"Alright," the Celestial Emperor agreed to Lucia Lu's terms.

Lucia Lu swallowed the Divine Crimson Pill.

The Celestial Emperor immediately asked her those three questions.

First question: her relationship with Bianca Whitefan. Lucia Lu said she only learned today—she was shocked, couldn't believe it, and just wanted to go home and ask her parents for the truth.

Second question: why she visited Bianca Whitefan. Lucia Lu replied, the first time was to obtain a Golden Immortal Swallow Nest to help Sean Shaw; the second time, to ask Bianca to remove a talisman from her body; the third time, she was dragged there by the Celestial Emperor himself...

Third question: did she frame Tanya Lu? Lucia Lu said no—Tanya intentionally caused her mother's miscarriage and used the stillborn baby to refine the Love-Harder-Than-Gold Hex...

The Celestial Emperor asked her if she carried any hidden demonic qi. She said no...

......

The Divine Crimson Pill was enough to convince all the Gods.

By the time Lucia Lu came back to her senses, Tanya Lu had already been thrown into the deep prison.

The Celestial Emperor told her, "Go home for now. Ask High God Quentin what this means."

Lucia Lu nodded.

With all the Gods watching, she turned and left.

She heard what they said.

"Number One Divine Lady of the Lumina Realm? Turns out she’s a demon!"

"Heavens, I used to have a crush on her! Now just seeing her gives me goosebumps!"

"Yes! It's terrifying!"

......

Lucia Lu rushed back to Peach Blossom Spring as fast as she could.

Her Father God, Mother God, and eldest brother were all at home.

When they saw Lucia Lu, all three looked grim.

Clearly, someone had already told them what happened—maybe a divine servant delivering gifts, maybe someone else using a Messenger Talisman.

"Father, Mother, do you already know what happened at Drake Abyss?" Lucia Lu asked.

Quentin Lian nodded, frowning. "We don't understand how Tanya Lu found out about this!"

"If only I'd killed her back then!" Vivian Lian ground her teeth in hatred.

Lucia Lu looked at the three of them, tears streaming down her face. "So... I'm really not your biological child? Am I truly the daughter of that demon?"

"Yu'er..." Vivian Lian's heart ached as she reached out to hug her, but Lucia Lu suddenly recoiled. "Don't touch me!"

Vivian Lian felt a stab in her heart; her eyes instantly reddened.

"I'm a demon... don't touch me..." Lucia Lu stepped back again.

"You're not!" Vivian Lian sobbed, heartbroken. "From the moment you were born, your Father God expelled all the demonic qi from your body! You're not a demon!"

Lucia Lu, tears streaming, managed a smile. "But why am I her daughter? Tell me—please?"
