Zhu Xiaosuo continued:

"Mother, you're not a cultivator, so you can't understand the level of focus required during cultivation. You're not a cultivator, so you can't comprehend how rare the Bone Transformation Stage is. You're not a cultivator, so you don't know that the term 'closed death retreat' is not an exaggeration; being disturbed can truly lead to death. All of this is simply because you're not a cultivator."

"So... that's how it is."

"Exactly. If you were even a day into cultivation, you probably wouldn't have shattered this Spirit Energy Pearl. So, although I won this time, it wasn't a fair victory. If it were a direct confrontation, I would surely lose. You've given me a reminder; I'd rather not marry than have a mortal woman by my side, lest she causes trouble."
