"Didn't you just declare that you wished he had died out there back then? What? Now you suddenly claim him as your son?" Feng Jiu's voice dripped with sarcasm as she glanced at the Black Tortoise Mistress, completely unmoved by her ashen face. She continued relentlessly, "As for why I am taking him away, have you never heard the saying, 'The kindness of a parent is greater than the kindness of a friend'? Aside from the fact that I raised him, I rescued him from the very jaws of death and gave him a new lease on life. For that reason alone, I possess every right to take him!"
She then fixed the Black Tortoise Monarch with a cold stare. "If you, his biological parents, truly loved him unconditionally, I would naturally be overjoyed for him to have another set of parents who cherish him. But since you are demonstrably incapable of such genuine affection, then do not use your biological connection to restrict him and inflict further suffering upon him!"
