"Sister, I'm the one who survived, but where is the divine beast's essence blood?"

Liu Yunxu threw away the dagger in his hand, without even glancing at the woman lying on the ground, and reached out to Liu Yunqing with an extremely eager expression.

Tick-tock—tick-tock—tick-tock—

Blood dripped from between Liu Yunxu's fingers and fell to the ground, splashing up tiny pools of blood.

Liu Yunqing didn't know whether the dripping blood was Liu Yunxu's own or the woman's; she only felt that the dripping sound gradually merged with the dripping sound from a hundred years ago.

So it turns out, even biological children are nothing special.

The hatred and pain in Liu Yunqing's heart, as thick as ink, dripped into the sea with a "ding-dong" sound, instantly dissipating without a trace.

Seeing Liu Yunxu's single-minded desire for the divine beast's blood essence, Liu Yunqing chuckled softly, causing Liu Yunxu's expression to shift from excitement to unease.

"You...you're not trying to renege on your debt, are you?"

"When have I ever gone back on my word?"

Liu Yunqing stopped laughing, and with a flick of her wrist, a bright red drop of blood, radiating powerful spiritual energy, floated above her palm.

Upon seeing this drop of blood, Liu Yunxu seemed to see himself standing at the pinnacle of the cultivation world, looking down upon all the heroes of the Sun Realm. His eyes immediately turned red and his breathing became heavy. He couldn't help but reach out towards the drop of blood.

Just when it was about to be in his hands, the drop of blood vanished from sight in the next instant.

"Give me my divine beast's essence blood!"

Seeing that Liu Yunqing had put away the drop of blood, Liu Yunxu couldn't help but roar and pounce on her.

Liu Yunqing raised her hand to dodge, and with a quick hand gesture, she froze Liu Yunxu in place.

"I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you, but I have a small question I'd like to know."

"you say!"

Liu Yunxu readily agreed, but his gaze remained fixed on Liu Yunqing's left hand.

Liu Yunqing stopped beating around the bush and asked directly:

"I want to hear your complete plan for arresting me this time."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunxu's expression cleared for a moment, and he said somewhat awkwardly:

"You, when you came back, didn't you hear everything?"

After saying this, Liu Yunxu quickly added:

"But I didn't know before, it was all Mother's plan... she planned it all by herself, really!"

"And now that she's dead, I... I've avenged you, so I'm your benefactor. Give me your essence blood now!"

"Benefactor?" Liu Yunqing scoffed, but too lazy to waste time on irrelevant pleasantries, and continued to ask:

"What happens after they capture me? What if Liu Yunzhao drains my blood and I die?"

Seeing Liu Yunxu's eyes flicker, Liu Yunqing slowly closed her left hand, her tone full of threat:

"You'd better tell the truth, or else..."

"No! I'll tell you... She said that before her father died, he left behind a formation that could trap a person's soul and prevent them from entering the cycle of reincarnation!"

Seeing Liu Yunqing close her fingers, almost crushing the drop of blood, Liu Yunxu could no longer care and blurted out everything he knew.

"She said she was afraid you would hold a grudge after you died, so after Liu Yunzhao finished using you, she asked the clan to trap you with a soul-trapping array. As time went by, your soul would naturally dissipate."

Liu Yunqing closed her eyes, and a fragment suddenly flashed through her mind.

Her soul was nurtured within the prayer beads as she watched Wuchen follow Liu Yunzhao back to the Liu family.

Perhaps due to her past life, after arriving at the Liu family, her soul was able to leave the prayer beads on its own and wander around the Liu family.

She just let her soul wander freely in the Liu family, and before she knew it, it drifted to the room where she had lived in life.

The room was dilapidated and old, and no one had been there for a long time, except for the children from the tribe who secretly came to "explore".

"Brother, why won't Father and Mother let us come here to play?"

A childish voice asked a question, and a slightly older child, pretending to be more mature, shushed him.

"Because a wandering spirit is imprisoned here!"

Xiao Xie's child was frightened and quickly clung to his brother's arm, saying:

"Then, what are we here for? Brother, I'm scared!"

The older children also looked uneasy, but seeing that the younger ones were afraid, they forced themselves to say:

"What a loser! What's there to be afraid of about a wandering ghost? She's trapped inside anyway, and she can't get out."

The scene flashed by, but Liu Yunqing's fragmented memories filled in a gap.

Liu Yunqing remembered that Wuchen came to the Liu family that time because a part of her soul was missing and she wanted to come back to find it.

Liu Yunzhao noticed Wuchen because of the aura of Liu Yunqing's soul, and that's why the two of them came to the Liu family with their own thoughts.

So, was Wuchen's confrontation with Liu Yunzhao in his previous life due to his own actions?

Liu Yunqing, who was deep in thought, suddenly changed his expression and struck out with his right palm.

With a scream of "Ah—", Liu Yunxu was sent flying.

But he didn't care about the pain; instead, he stared intently at Liu Yunqing's left hand and said:

"You promised to give me your life essence! You can't go back on your word!"

Liu Yunqing's eyes grew colder, but her words were gentle.

She used her magic to draw Liu Yunxu over, first giving him a pill, then flipping her hand to take out a spirit dagger and saying:

"Don't worry, I always keep my word."

Before Liu Yunxu could ask any more questions, Liu Yunqing knocked him unconscious with a single palm strike, then plunged the spirit dagger into Liu Yunxu's heart, taking out some things and putting in others at the same time.

...

In the front courtyard of the Liu family, in the patriarch's study, Steward Liu was giving a reply.

"Master, I just went to check, and Liu Yunxu and her son are not at home. I don't know where they went."

"Where did you go? Didn't I just give you advice?"

The head of the Liu family was shrouded in darkness, and his tone was sinister due to his bad mood.

If we're talking about the entire Liu family, no one hates Liu Yunqing more than the head of the Liu family.

Back then, Liu Yunqing killed his son to escape, and he thought that his palm strike would end her life, which calmed his anger.

Who would have thought that the other party was so resilient, not only did they not die, but they also gained a destiny to become immortals, while their own son was completely destroyed!

The thought of it made the head of the Liu family feel so angry he could scoop out two bowls of blood.

But he never considered that if his son hadn't deliberately humiliated him, Liu Yunqing wouldn't have wanted to take his life.

Of course, this is also human nature and common sense: those who harm me should be punished, and those I harm should be punished.

Now, after hearing the mother and son's harmful plan, he adopted it almost without hesitation.

However, being the head of the family, he was not as easily fooled as Steward Liu. He had some doubts about the mother and son's story, so he planned to call them in for questioning.

Who knew it wasn't there?

Given the temperament of that mother and son, shouldn't they be waiting in the yard at a time like this?

Patriarch Liu instinctively sensed something was wrong. He frowned and pondered for a moment when he felt a fluctuation of spiritual energy in the air. He looked up and saw Steward Liu receiving a communication talisman and listening with a broad smile.

"What's up?"

Upon hearing the question from Patriarch Liu, Steward Liu immediately replied with a delighted expression:

"Master, the message came from Liu Yunxu, saying that Liu Yunqing happened to return and was taken into custody by the mother and daughter!"

"really?!"

The head of the Liu family was taken aback, then stood up excitedly.

After confirming that Steward Liu was telling the truth, the Liu family head calmed down and narrowed his old eyes slightly, saying:

"Could there be a trap here?"

Manager Liu's smile faded, and after thinking carefully, he shook his head and said:

"No, the aura on this communication talisman is definitely Liu Yunxu's."

"Then let's go and see. I don't think that kid would dare to play any tricks."

Upon hearing what Steward Liu said, the head of the Liu family immediately got up and headed towards that small courtyard.
