"Xiao Chen, do you have any conscience? This little child is on the verge of death. All he needs to do is stay at your house for a while, and he can survive. But you won't agree. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

"We're all neighbors. How can you bear to see such a young child die tragically because of you?"

"Give me some face and let my child in. When he grows up, I'll make sure he repays you properly!"

Tian Qing kept tagging "Cat Who Loves to Eat Fish" in the household group chat, but she didn't expect that Xiao Chen was cooking and couldn't be bothered to reply.

After cursing for a while, Tian Qing finally stopped. Seeing that Xiao Chen was unmoved, she planned to take her husband and storm the door. Meanwhile, Xiao Chen was cooking dinner and took out his phone when he heard a knock on the door.

"Don't you know that I hate it when people come to my door while I'm eating?"

Xiao Chen immediately lost his temper. He opened the door and saw that, sure enough, it was Tian Qing and his wife who had brought Wang Teng to their door.

“Honey, we’ve been here before, Xiao Chen won’t let us in.”

Wang Gang sighed and tried to persuade her, but Tian Qing was so worried about her son that she ignored Wang Gang's advice and instead said angrily.

"Wang Gang, are you even a man? Your son is on the verge of death and you still don't have a shred of backbone. I was blind to have married you!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Gang lowered his head in shame, while Tian Qing snorted coldly in exasperation and was about to knock on the door again when the door slowly opened as Tian Qing's hand landed.

Upon seeing this, Tian Qing was about to rush in. In her eyes, the warm fireplace inside was her son's hope for survival. Of course, in order to deal with Xiao Chen, she also brought a weapon with her this time, which she hid in her sleeve.

Just as Tian Qing was about to rush in, Xiao Chen's large hand grabbed Tian Qing's neck.

"Cough cough cough, let me go!"

Tian Qing's face immediately turned red from Xiao Chen's pinching, something extremely rare even in the apocalypse.

"Xiao Chen, let go of my wife!"

When he saw his wife in danger, Wang Gang angrily attacked Xiao Chen. However, before he could even get close to Xiao Chen, he was met with a kick from Xiao Chen, which sent Wang Gang flying. He crashed into a wall before coming to a stop.

Xiao Chen didn't use his spiritual power this time. Firstly, it was too bloody, and secondly, this kick was enough to keep Wang Gang bedridden for half a month.

The baby that Tian Qing was holding fell down because Tian Qing was lifted up by Xiao Chen. Luckily it was Xiao Chen; if it were anyone else, they would have gone to pick up Wang Teng.

However, thanks to being wrapped in several layers of clothing, Wang Teng was not harmed, but he was frightened and started crying. Hearing Wang Teng's cries, Tian Qing became even angrier.

Tian Qing pulled out a small knife from her sleeve and slashed at Xiao Chen's neck. However, just as she was about to slash Xiao Chen's neck, Xiao Chen grabbed her right hand and snatched the knife away.

"It seems you really enjoy playing with knives. In that case, I'll let you have a close encounter with your knife!"

After saying that, Xiao Chen directly swung his knife and severed Tian Qing's Achilles tendons and wrist tendons, and then cut him off.

Feeling such pain, Tian Qing couldn't help but wail. Xiao Chen didn't continue. In Xiao Chen's view, severing Tian Qing's tendons in his feet and hands was torture for Tian Qing.

Killing Tian Qing would be too easy for her. It would be better to cripple her limbs. In this freezing cold, having her limbs crippled would obviously be worse than death.

Another point is that Xiao Chen wanted to see how the Snow Demon was born.

In this situation, Xiao Chen estimated that there was a very high probability that Wang Gang would kill Tian Qing for the sake of the child, thereby obtaining some food.

However, Xiao Chen would not let Tian Qing and his family go. He left a wisp of spiritual energy in each of Tian Qing's family members. As long as they were within 100 meters of Xiao Chen, he could control the spiritual energy to explode. If they were more than 100 meters away, they would be like the guardians of the gods, directly destroyed by the crazy spiritual energy!

"Xiao Chen, you're a demon! We're all neighbors, why did you do such a cruel thing! Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

Seeing his wife crippled by Xiao Chen, Wang Gang, who was in pain all over his body, disregarded his own safety and went to Tian Qing to inquire about her condition, while also condemning Xiao Chen.

"Get lost, or I'll send you on your way right now!"

Xiao Chen snorted coldly and then slammed his door shut, leaving Wang Gang standing there holding Tian Qing, whose tendons in her feet and hands had been severed.

"Honey, I feel like I have no strength left in my body. What's wrong with me?"

Tian Qing said with a look of horror that she could not feel any strength in her limbs, or rather, she could feel the pain, but could not exert any force at all.

"It's alright, honey. We still have Dr. Lin, right? Dr. Lin can definitely cure you. I'll take you home first!"

After Wang Gang finished speaking, he hurriedly prepared to leave with Tian Qing, but Tian Qing stopped him.

"No, no, take the baby home first. I'll wait for you here. I'm worried about the baby being alone here!"

Hearing this, Wang Gang hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

"In that case, you wait for me here. I'll be back soon. If there's any danger, just shout for me!"

After saying that, Wang Gang carried the still-crying Wang Teng back home quickly. After closing the door, he went back to the 23rd floor and carried Tian Qing back home quickly.

After returning home, Wang Gang immediately contacted Lin Yichen, who soon arrived at his home. Upon seeing Tian Qing's condition, Lin Yichen shook her head helplessly.

"I'm sorry, I could treat you in a hospital, but I can't do anything in this situation."

Lin Yichen immediately noticed that Tian Qing's tendons in his hands and feet had been severed. If he were at Hangzhou People's Hospital, artificial tendons could be used to restore them.

But with the world frozen over, there's nothing she can do.

Upon hearing this, Wang Gang's face was filled with disbelief.

"How could that be? Dr. Lin, you're so amazing, you can definitely save my wife, right? Are you complaining that we haven't given you enough? I'll give you double, no, triple! Please, please save my wife!"

Wang Gang almost knelt down, but Lin Yichen shook her head helplessly. She definitely wanted Tian Qing to get better, because if something happened to Tian Qing, Wang Gang wouldn't be able to take care of her given their family's current situation.

"I'm sorry, I really can't help you."

Lin Yichen shook her head helplessly and then left.

Wang Gang was left alone, wailing helplessly. But who told Tian Qing to strike first? It was already a good thing that Xiao Chen didn't kill her outright!
