Zhu Zi didn't know why he suddenly softened. Perhaps it was because the little girl's smile was somewhat like Tian Tian's when she was little. In his memory, Tian Tian should have had such an innocent time, but he forgot at what age Tian Tian's smile was no longer so innocent and naive.

Although it was sweet, Zhu Zi knew that Tian Tian's smile wasn't genuine; it was just a smile for the sake of smiling. He had never seen her smile when she was alone. She would only smile when she saw him or other people. The less familiar she was with someone, the sweeter her smile would be, but it wasn't a genuine smile from his sister's heart.

It wasn't until Tian Tian went to stay with Ye Qingqing that he realized his sister's smile had returned. This is why, even though he always complained that Xiao Tong was silly, he didn't interfere with Xiao Tong and Tian Tian's relationship. He only wanted his sister to be happy; nothing else mattered.

It would be best if the little fool could make his sister happy for the rest of her life. But if Tian Tian's smile ever turned back to what it used to be, Zhu Zi would kill the little fool without hesitation and find Tian Tian someone better.

Hmph, three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere. As the sister of the dignified Poison Sect leader, it's only right that she hires seventy or eighty male concubines. It would be too much of a loss to only hire one man.

Zhu Zi took the small knife and pricked his finger, drawing out a bead of dark red blood. He then put his finger into the little girl's mouth and said in a deep voice, "Suck!"

The little girl took only one puff and then fell silent. She waved her little hand, then let it hang limply. Her face had turned bluish-black, and her once chubby face had sunken into a skeletal shape, devoid of any life.

"Suck it in!" Zhu Zi shouted, inserting her fingers a little further, but the little girl still didn't react, lying with her head tilted in her mother's arms.

The woman was stunned for a moment, then cried out loudly, calling her daughter's name, trying to wake her up, but the little girl's body slowly stiffened and she could no longer smile.

The little pig wiped its eyes and said sadly, "Master, stop feeding me, my sister is gone."

Zhu Zi's fingers were still stuck in the little girl's mouth. He couldn't believe the little girl was really dead, but the slowly cooling temperature inside her mouth made his heart sink rapidly, and his eyes grew colder and colder.

Damn it, they even dared to lay a hand on a child. He will definitely find that bastard and punish him with the most severe punishments of the Poison Sect.

The finger was pulled out, and the blood had already congealed. More and more pedestrians gathered around, including some who lived nearby and knew the little girl and the woman. Seeing the little girl's tragic condition, everyone felt both grief and anger.

"Call the police! We can't let Liya die without knowing why. That damned beast, he even harmed a child! He must be caught and torn to pieces!"

"It must be a psychopath who kills people. People with children at home should keep a close eye on them and not let them go out for the next few days. Poor Liya..."

...

The neighbors wiped away tears. They all loved little Liya. This area was a commercial street with shops on both sides, mostly selling snacks and fruits, and some selling local specialties. Liya's parents ran a fruit shop. The couple were very busy and didn't have time to take care of Liya. The little girl often played by herself by the roadside. The shop owners in this area all knew her. Now that Liya had suffered such a terrible fate, they were all heartbroken and worried that the perpetrator was still nearby and would continue to harm other children.

A dark-skinned, thin middle-aged man rushed over upon hearing the news. He was Liya's father. When he saw the tragic state of his beloved daughter, the man was struck dumb, completely stunned, unable to even cry. It was as if he had suddenly lost his memory. An elderly person noticed something was wrong and quickly slapped him, which brought the man back to his senses.
