Chapter 29 Does it hurt?

After Zhong Wan finished speaking, she looked at the four big characters "cause and effect" written on his face and nodded with satisfaction.

The black and red lettering was faintly visible on his face.

Zhong Wan put away her pen, stood up, and looked down at him coldly.

The moment she put down her pen, the temperature in the room seemed to drop slightly.

"What's this?"

Seeing Shao Kaifeng's terrified yet confused expression, Zhong Wan sneered, "Your...retribution!"

After saying that, she seemed to remember something and continued, "Oh, not just you, but them too."

She pointed to the other two people on the ground: "How about it? Isn't it nice to have the whole family together?"

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw dark reddish-brown mist constantly swirling in the air.

Zhong Wan paused, then looked up.

Red mist continuously flowed in from all directions, surging into the cloud above their heads.

The vengeful spirits that Zhong Suisui had just conjured with her resentment also gathered there.

Countless fragmented animal souls transformed into a red ray of light.

In the middle of the mist, there was a cluster of clouds faintly glowing red.

Zhong Wan squinted and looked over, only then realizing that it was actually... Hua Hua?

She frowned and asked, puzzled, "Sui Sui, what's this?"

[Hehe, Mom, don't worry, Huahua is fine. The completion rate of your spell is 89%. The spell is working and is removing the resentment from Huahua. Please be patient.]

"89%?"

Zhong Wan murmured softly, "Removing the resentment? What effect will that have on Hua Hua?"

Even if one eliminates their resentment, they cannot be reincarnated.

Zhong Wan understood.

She nodded slightly and took a step back.

As the red mist gradually eroded the black, the rooftop instantly turned completely red, slowly spreading outwards.

Then it seemed as if I had a goal and a direction.

In an instant, they transformed into streaks of red light, rushing one after another towards the words she had just written.

Zhong Wan looked in the direction of the light and saw the red rays flowing into the four large characters.

The faint black phantom instantly turned blood red.

Then, as if copied and pasted, one became two, three...

Countless characters flashing red light floated in space, then instantly scattered in all directions.

Only three remained, and the target clearly fell on the three members of the Shao family.

It seemed like a lot had happened, but it all happened in the blink of an eye.

The room then fell silent, as if it were an illusion.

The students who remained looked up in confusion, then resumed their chatter and complaints, some even excitedly engrossed in gossip on their phones.

Zhong Wan's lips curled up slightly.

Zhong Suisui voluntarily put the pen away.

Hua Hua's body was completely exposed, and the red lines on her body had completely disappeared.

[Ding! Spiritual changes detected. Mission accelerated. 8 hours countdown.]

"What?!"

Zhong Wan was utterly shocked: "How come there are only eight hours left all of a year?!"

Zhong Suisui floated onto her shoulder, tilted her head, rubbed her cheek against hers, and looked at Zhong Wan innocently, saying, "Mommy, you're not mad at me."

[The resentment of the flower spirit has dissipated, but the remaining yin energy is insufficient to sustain the original duration, so the quest must be accelerated.]

Zhong Wan remained silent. She looked up at the corridor leading to the back and listened to the chaotic sounds behind her.

I picked up my phone again and checked the time; it was already 9:45.

Zhong Wan put away her phone and walked towards the corridor.

"careful!"

"Meow!!!"

[Meow! Damn it! How dare you attack my mom!!!]

"Zhong Wan! Watch out!"

Exclamations of surprise came from behind her, and Zhong Wan felt her hair stand on end instantly. She instinctively turned around to look.

"Go to hell!!!"

The cold glint of the blade reflected into her eyes, and her pupils dilated instantly.

He instinctively turned to the side to avoid it, his back against the wall.

Unexpectedly, the blade sliced ​​across his arm, leaving a bloody gash.

Uncle Shao, his face contorted with rage, held the knife, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Zhong Wan.

With a flick of his wrist, he thrust his weapon towards her chest again.

"You damned brat! I'm going to kill you!!!"

Zhong Wan gritted her teeth and quickly squatted down. Just as she was about to resist, she saw a slender, fair hand reach out first and grasp the blade with its bare hand. Bright red blood slowly flowed down between the fingers.

She looked up in disbelief and met a pair of furious eyes.

It's Lin Yan'an...

"You're asking for it!"

His deep voice suppressed a raging fire.

The moment he let go, he kicked Uncle Shao in the stomach without hesitation.

"ah……"

"No, no, I didn't mean to, I didn't want to hurt anyone..."

"I really didn't mean to hurt anyone..."

Uncle Shao lay on the ground, backing away while pointing at Zhong Wan and saying, "It's her fault! It's all her fault!"

"If it weren't for..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yan'an had already started walking towards him.

As he passed the knife that had fallen to the ground, he paused slightly, bent down, and picked it up.

His eyes seemed frozen in ice as he slowly walked over, amidst the students' shock and Uncle Shao's terrified gazes.

His aura was so powerful that the students were stunned and dared not utter a sound.

Of the three who dared to speak up, Hua Hua watched coldly, wishing she could take action herself.

[Dad is awesome! Dad is so powerful! Dad will beat him to death!]

After the initial shock, Zhong Suisui just wanted to cheer loudly.

It angrily and excitedly rushed ahead of Lin Yan'an, landing first on Uncle Shao. Although it knew it was useless, it still scratched angrily with its hands and feet, still not satisfied.

Zhong Wan felt her heart, which had felt like it was about to stop, was now pounding wildly. Having escaped her predicament, she slumped weakly to the ground, leaning against the wall.

Her gaze involuntarily fell on him, on his bleeding hands...

Zhong Wan swallowed hard, trying to calm herself down.

"Dare to touch her?"

Lin Yan'an's voice was soft, yet it gently touched her heart.

"I'll give you a quick and painless death!"

"don't want!"

Uncle Shao's pupils constricted; he felt the man before him was more like a demon.

He was truly terrified and tried to escape by scrambling and rolling.

But it was too late.

Lin Yan'an kicked him, knocking him to the ground again.

Then she reached out and grabbed his collar, staring coldly into his eyes.

Lin Yan'an parted her thin lips slightly and looked at him, saying each word clearly: "There will always be a price to pay for hurting her."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped on Uncle Shao's arm and stabbed the knife into Uncle Shao's arm without hesitation.

"ah!!!"

Uncle Shao screamed in agony.

"Waaah—waaah—"

The sound of sirens grew clearer as they approached.

This broke the silence among the students.

It felt as if I could breathe again in an instant.

A student immediately shouted, "The police are here!"

"Waaah, it's finally here! I was so scared!"

Unlike their lively atmosphere, Zhong Wan felt a sinking feeling in her heart.

Looking at the mess before him, and then at the three people lying on the ground—the bound Shao father and son, and the bleeding Uncle Shao…

Zhong Wan pursed her lips, walked to Lin Yan'an's side, and reached out to take his injured arm.

"Waaah, Daddy's hurt."

Does it hurt?

Zhong Wan asked in a low voice, her fingers trembling as she wanted to touch it, but dared not actually place it.

Lin Yan'an shook his head slightly, raised his free left hand to hold hers, feeling the temperature in his hand which was much cooler than usual, and whispered to comfort her: "I'm here, don't be afraid."

Zhong Suisui had a sudden inspiration and instantly landed on their clasped hands.

Lin Yan'an chuckled, raising her injured hand to soothe its back.

Unexpectedly, his blood actually landed on it!
