sociation of Wizards, and they will send someone to handle the follow-up.""Well done!"The three of them were truly exhausted from the hard work and were fed up with dealing with this, so after finishi...When Tao Fu saw Tao Jingfeng dismembering someone with a ferocious expression, she ran aside to vomit. When she heard Xi Nuo's roar, she sat on the ground in terror.
"Don't... Don't come here! Xi Nuo, I don't want this either, but my wife can't stand you... Please let me go... Ah!!!"
Tao Jingfeng, while screaming in pain, was trying to shift the blame. His voice pulled Tao's mother back to reality; she realized she was still sitting where she was, only the vomit at her feet was real.
Two children looked into Tao Jingfeng's eyes, filled with terror and fear. Tao Shixu even bit his lip, and Tao Shiyun's body trembled slightly, clearly frightened by the bloody scene. Because the two of them were just one-year-old infants in their dream, they could only watch helplessly as Xi Nuo was murdered, unable to do anything.
While Tao Jingfeng was stroking his chest, he said feebly:
"Xi Nuo, please forgive me! I was wrong. I shouldn't have killed you, but..."
The rest of the words were unspoken, cut off by ripples.
But you still did it. Since you've done it, you have to take responsibility for the consequences. Murder has its retribution, this world operates on cause and effect.
The sound of ripples was cold, pulling everyone back to reality in an instant.
But Tao Jingfeng didn't have that kind of treatment. Although he had escaped from the illusion, he could still see Xi Nuo. The other party's hand was still inserted in his chest, ruthlessly kneading his heart.
Yu Liang and Ji Hui Lian, though they weren't sent into the illusionary realm, looked at Tao Jingfeng who had turned pale and confessed to his murder. After exchanging glances, they stood up, revealed their identities, and then gifted Tao Jingfeng a silver bracelet before taking him away.
Xiru turned her head to look at Lianyi, seeking her opinion. She wanted Lianyi to stay by Tao Jingfeng's side, letting him live in fear and terror for the rest of his life as compensation for the fifteen years she spent imprisoned in the courtyard.
Ripple didn't say anything, just nodded and waved his hand to send the other party a particle of merit light. That way, no one with bad eyesight would dare to attack Xi Nuo.
Thank you, Miss Chou.
Xi Luo bowed to Lian Yi, then instantly turned into black smoke that wrapped around Tao Jingfeng. Tao Jingfeng's body trembled and he touched his chest again.
Tao Jingfeng was taken away, and Tao's mother didn't know what to do for a moment. She looked to the woman in the black cheongsam for help, and the woman said very decisively:
"Mrs. Tao, wrongs have heads and debts have owners. I can't get involved in matters like this. I'm powerless to help. Consider this payment waived. Farewell."
He clearly doesn't want to get involved.
From the moment Mrs. Tao saw the ripples, she knew things wouldn't be so easily resolved. So after the police siren faded away, Mrs. Tao firmly took her two children and left.
But the woman in the black cheongsam remained, she smiled and stepped forward to introduce herself:
"My name is Wen Yu Lian. I am a disciple of Wuyang Daoist. I came here because I am very interested in what happened to the Tao family. I didn't expect Tao Jingfeng to be like this, which really opened my eyes."
Wen Yu Lian smiled and said.
"The world is full of wonders, it's his own doing that he crossed the line of being human, and now this is his consequence."
Liàn Yī smiled softly and changed the subject:
Miss Wen is not from Hong Kong.
"No, it's just that there was a need over there, so I stayed with my master there for years."
Wen Yu Lian explained.
"Miss Wen, your visit this time is probably not just about the Tao family's affairs, is it"
"Yes, Master said that the world is becoming increasingly chaotic. This place is where the disasters originate, so he sent me back to take a look. I can hone my skills while also doing my part to help."
Wen Yu Lian's words were very beautiful.
"Since that's the case, Miss Wen has found a place to stay"
I came in a hurry and now I haven't been able to help the Tao family. I estimate they won't pay attention to me anymore. I wonder if Miss Chou would be convenient to take me in I will pay for the room.
Wen Yu Lian immediately followed up.
"Just call me Lian Yi. It seems like I'm destined to meet Miss Wen. This villa is just what I bought, with plenty of empty rooms. I could rent one to you. I have income, and you have a place to stay. Plus, I'm a bit timid, so we can keep each other company."
"Meow!"
A whirlwind let out a shout, as if it didn't welcome Wen Yulian very much.
Wen Yu Lian didn't expect that after just a casual probe, the other party would directly invite her to stay. Glancing at the black cat staring intently at her, she hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Thank you, Miss Chou, for taking me in. I won't be polite and will move in tomorrow morning."
"No need to be so polite. I said we're keeping each other company, just call me Ripple."
After finishing her words, Lian Yi invited the other person to look at the rooms on the first floor. Once they had decided on a room, Qi Big Sister's meal was ready. She set the table and invited Lian Yi, the host, and the only guest to eat.
Wen Yu Lian sat politely at the table and started eating. Both of them avoided talking to Tao Jingfeng's family, instead discussing topics about women, such as the latest clothing, jewelry, and cosmetics in Hong Kong City, even discussing property prices there.
After Deng Wen Yu had her fill and left, Qi elder sister came to look for Lian Yi.
"Miss Chou, will you need my help tomorrow"
Of course I'm coming, do I look like someone who has time to cook
"Miss Chou is a person who does big things, cooking is a waste of time, just leave this kind of thing to me."
Aunt Qi laughed with her eyes crinkled. Her job was secure now, so she wasn't afraid of any rumors about haunted houses or ghosts. The most important thing was to take care of herself.
On the other side, Tao Fu brought the two children back to the hotel. However, the expressions of the three people were exceptionally poor, lacking any energy, even worse than when they were unconscious before.
"Mom, what are we going to do"
Tao Shuyi asked helplessly, her voice choked with sobs.
Tao Shixu pursed his lips and, in the end, didn't say that "Mom" word.
He had never hated his identity so much. Their birth was not glorious to begin with, their father even killed his own mother, and he, who had called her "Mom" for sixteen years, was half a knowing party.
This conclusion was unacceptable to Tao Shixu, his thoughts were in utter disarray, he didn't know what to do. In his sixteen years of life, he had never encountered such a thing.
Now, Tao's mother had completely calmed down. She looked at her two children she had raised, sighed, and then spoke:
"Your mother was murdered, and I bear an inescapable responsibility, but I've never been cruel enough to want to take a human life. In my eyes, your mother was essentially a surrogate, and this whole thing could have been resolved with money. There was no need to resort to murder."
At this point, her words faltered. She paused, looking at the two of them before continuing:
"Since you grew up in Hong Kong, you should know that this kind of situation is common there. Because of my health reasons, I can't have children, and I don't want the Tao family to have no descendants, so I made a concession and let your father find another woman."
But you were raised by me, nurtured and cared for from infancy. Although I am not your biological mother, I have also shown you kindness and love.
Your father has done wrong and must face punishment, but you are innocent. You are sixteen now, so you can decide whether to stay in Yangcheng or return to Hong Kong with me.ed those two men to come after her, so she turned the tables and shifted the blame onto Song with the bald head."Those two men weren't easy to deal with. Even though they ambushed Bald Song, they were...
