    Nan Batian nodded and lost himself in memories: “We grew up together in a small vige. At that time, she was not called Fatty, she had a nice name, A Cui.


    Although A Cui at that time was not stunningly beautiful, she was pretty, lively and cheerful. We were inseparable, and everyone in the vige said that we were a perfect match.”


    He paused, a hint of tenderness shed in his eyes, as if he saw the little girl with two pigtails chasing after him and shouting “Brother Batian”.


    “Later, we went to the city together to be apprentices. Perhaps my talent was indeed better, and my cultivation speed advanced by leaps and bounds, and I soon came to the fore. As for Ah Cui, her qualifications could only be considered mediocre, and her progress was slow.”


    “As my strength grew, my fame gradually grew, and people around me praised me for my promising future.


    I could feel that in Ah Cui’s eyes, besides the admiration she had in the past, there was gradually something else: inferiority and uneasiness.


    She always said that she was afraid that she was not worthy of me. At that time, I just thought it was her imagination, and keptforting her, saying that I had never thought of it that way.”


    At this point, Nan Batian’s tone became heavy: “But I didn’t expect that she would do such a stupid thing to catch up with me…”


    “She secretly found an evil martial art passed down from ancient times. The progress of her practice was extremely fast, and she could greatly increase her strength in a short period of time.


    However, the technique had a huge side effect. The practitioner’s body would continue to swell due to the distortion of spiritual energy, bing bloated and unable to recover its original appearance.” “


    By the time I found out, it was toote. Her strength had indeed improved by leaps and bounds, even surpassing me at one point, but her body had also begun to change.


    I was shocked and angry, and asked her why she did this. She just cried and said that she didn’t want to be left behind by me. She wanted to stay with me forever and didn’t want others to say that she was not worthy of me.”


    “Looking at her excited and painful expression, I felt like my heart was being cut by a knife.


    I know I’m also responsible for her condition. My rapid growth put too much pressure on her.


    But I couldn’t ept her increasing her strength this way, and I couldn’t face the enormous cost and pain hidden behind her increasingly bloated body. It


    was too much for me, and I didn’t know what to do, so I just… I chose to escape. “


    I left her without saying goodbye, wandering around, deliberately avoiding her.


    I thought maybe time would heal everything, maybe she would understand my painstaking efforts. But I didn’t expect this hiding wouldst for so many years.”


    “For all these years, she never gave up searching for me. She changed her name to Fatty, established an information building, and grew her influence, all in an attempt to find me through every possible means.


    And I, like a coward, kept running and hiding. I was afraid to see her, afraid to see her in her current state, afraid to face our problems, and afraid to face my own guilt. “


    Beforeing to Sword Saint City this time, I knew she was here, so I stayed outside the city and didn’t dare to set foot inside, just for fear of being discovered by her. I didn’t expect… I couldn’t escape after all.”


    Nan Batian’s voice was full of fatigue and self-me.


    David listened quietly, his heart full of mixed feelings.


    He didn’t expect that behind the fat woman’s fierce appearance and domineering style of behavior, there was such a sad past.


    He looked at the obese figure not far away who wasmanding the servants and secretly ncing over here from time to time. Suddenly, he felt that hidden in that bloated body was actually a fragile and persistent heart.


    “Nan Batian.” David pondered for a moment and said, “I think that the owner of the Fat Woman Building… Miss A Cui, ‘s feelings for you are intense. She did all this, although the method was extreme, but the starting point is that she cares about you too much.”
