Hu Yifei: "Terrible, so terrible!"

Mao Li: "I thought the goddess would escape being thrown out of her home, but now she's homeless in an instant."

Huang Rong: "By the way, didn't you sell a lot of gold before? Already spent it all?"

Hestia: "…… Eating gourmet meals every day, buying pretty clothes—it goes fast!"

Su Xiao: "Can't even comment—this goddess is utterly useless."

Akuya: "Exactly! Unlike me, the goddess who goes on adventures daily—I already live in a big villa!"

Xiao Yan: "Is it you going on adventures, or Sato Kazuma going on adventures?"

Akuya: "What's the difference? Kazuma is my reincarnation—his adventures are my adventures."

Su Xiao: "That actually makes sense."

Hu Yifei: "Isn't this spirit the same as Hestia? 'Three-Five-Three'?"

Hestia: "What do I do? What do I do? I'm still on the street! If I don't find a place to stay soon, I'll have to sleep in that rundown church."

Lin Shiyin: "The goddess can live in a Heaven Cave—just take out a loan to buy one."

Su Xiao: "No way. Spirits who descend to the mortal realm can't use divine power—if they break the rule, they're sent back to the Divine Realm. Even if you give her a Heaven Cave, she can't use it."

Hestia: "That's right."

Zhang Taixuan: "Who told you you can't use a Heaven Cave without divine power?"

Su Xiao: "Are you thinking of blood refinement? Then every time you open the Heaven Cave, you burn divine blood? Just thinking about it is terrifying."

Zhang Taixuan: "That method was phased out long ago. After becoming a Taiyi Jin Xian, there are many ways to use a Heaven Cave. 【Red Packet】"

Zhang Taixuan: "I refined this Heaven Cave so it can bind with the user—no consumption needed, just open it."

Su Xiao: "That's amazing?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Not amazing—just binding person and object as one, turning the Heaven Cave into something like an extension of your limbs. Think: when you wave your hand, what does it cost?"

Su Xiao: "So opening the Heaven Cave is just like a normal person waving their hand? If so, anyone could use it."

【Ding, Hestia claimed Zhang Taixuan's red packet.】

Hestia: "Great! I won't have to sleep in that rundown church anymore. 【Video】"

Hestia: "I have a Heaven Cave now! The Dao Jun even thoughtfully prepared a big villa inside—furniture complete. The Dao Jun is so considerate."

Su Xiao: "I see Taixuan Brother's ambition—goddess, be careful, don't fall for it."

Xiao Yan: "+1"

Hestia: "No way? The Dao Jun isn't anything like you think. Dao Jun, I'll sign in diligently and pay back my points."

Hestia: "I'm immortal—I'll earn ten thousand points in no time."

Zhang Taixuan: "No rush. This is all minor."

In another world.

Xia Chuan Zhenliang watched the chat group messages, her eyes filled with envy.

She too wanted a Heaven Cave.

But thinking her world had no special products, she quashed the idea.

Though everyone said that after taking a loan for a Heaven Cave, you could grow spiritual herbs to earn points.

Still, she worried.

If she failed to cultivate, the ten thousand points afterward would crush her.

That would be a debt even the Xia Chuan family couldn't bear.

"First, cultivate. If I succeed, I won't have to suffer under my family's control anymore."

She was beautiful, called the pearl of the Xia Chuan family.

This title sounded like praise, but in truth meant she was merely a ornament.

Whenever the Xia Chuan family needed her, she'd be forced into a political marriage, becoming a sacrifice.

Undeniably, affairs among great families were this heartless, this filthy.

Even as times changed, their ways remained unchanged.

That was normal.

Times changed, productivity changed, but human hearts did not.

"Even after another thousand years, individuals will still be expected to sacrifice for their families?"

Xia Chuan Zhenliang saw clearly.

Even if she were a man, would this change?

No.

Among great families, women were sacrificed through marriage—but weren't men the same?

Marrying someone they felt nothing for, yet pretending deep affection in public—it was torture for men too.

Thus, marriages in great families were often mere formalities.

After marriage, husband and wife each lived their own lives—this was extremely common…

Thinking of this, Xia Chuan Zhenliang shivered.

This was absolutely not the life she wanted.

In her imagination, she should marry someone who loved her, deeply devoted to her—not a stranger, sleeping in the same bed but dreaming apart, facing each other with cold stares every day.

She calmed her thoughts, her mood gradually steadied.

Thinking of this, her drive to cultivate grew stronger.

Half a day passed.

With the aid of the elixir, she effortlessly reached the peak of true qi.

"I actually succeeded in cultivating!"

At this moment, she realized her previous worries had been unnecessary.

Looking back on her past actions, she understood the reason—nothing more than a lack of self-confidence.

Even though she was a girl from a great family and had received excellent upbringing from childhood,

but living in a family devoid of emotion, she was not loved, nor valued by her parents; outwardly elegant, inwardly she was not strong.

Growing up in such an environment, how could she possess the conviction that she could surely succeed!
