Chapter 12

The scene in the yard changed again. This time the woman was hanging with a rough hemp rope tied around her waist and she was naked.

Her expression was numb, as if she was dead, but she was still breathing weakly.

Those people didn't let her go. She was tortured all the time. Feifei watched quietly and suddenly said softly, "It's been hundreds of years."

Lin An replied calmly: "They were all asleep at that time."

Feifei pressed on, "Not even one?"

"No."

Feifei: "Sir, that's even stranger."

Gu Yuan: "What are you talking about?"

Feifei spoke calmly and shook her head gently: "Nothing, just watch quietly, this is what that woman wants us to know."

Gu Yuan asked: "Her past?"

Feifei said thoughtfully, "Some things in your ancient times were very cruel. The constraints on women, the punishments for breaking the rules, they were never soft-hearted."

Gu Yuan spoke, his voice a little suppressed: "I can't bear to watch it anymore."

Feifei said calmly, "She wants you to finish reading it."

Gu Yuan: "Too cruel."

It was indeed cruel. Feifei looked at the scene in front of her and thought to herself that if Lord Wind God had come to this world earlier, he probably would not have been bewitched.

She looked back at Gu Yuan again, frowning slightly, wondering if the child she left behind would... bewitch another one.

Feifei just suppressed her worry and turned to look at Lin An, then she heard Lin An say, "That's all you want us to see. No need to go on."

Feifei sighed softly and moved forward. Seeing this, Du Jiajia immediately moved sideways and squeezed herself in between the two of them.

At this time, the figure of a female ghost gradually emerged and asked in a cold voice: "Why are you here?"

She didn't wait for anyone to answer, turned around and walked into the house, and soon came out carrying a girl, who was the unconscious Cheng Yitong.

Gu Yuan said: "What do you want to do? She is innocent."

The ghost girl heard this and smiled, her voice filled with self-mockery and resentment: "You want to tell me you're innocent? What a joke, she's not innocent. As their descendant, their blood is just as dirty, and the disgusting feeling that runs in her bones is indelible."

Feifei looked at the ghost girl and said, "Are you aware of what you are doing? You've involved so many people."

The ghost girl glanced at them and began to laugh. The laughter grew louder and louder, but suddenly stopped. She said in a cold voice: "They know clearly what they are doing. They know that some things are inhumane."

"They were very happy when they invented these torture methods, and they were especially happy when these cruel torture instruments were used on women."

"But if the one they bully turns out to be a fierce ghost, their high-handed and righteous attitude will disappear."

"They are unreasonable... They have power, but power has its uses. They have invented many ways to suppress me."

"They found someone, dismembered my body, and then nailed my body all over, thinking that this would eliminate me. They were dreaming too much. No one could completely suppress me. This is their retribution."

Lin An said calmly: "No one wants to interfere with your karma, we will not interfere in your affairs."

Gu Yuan said: "Sister An, Cheng Yitong is in her hands."

Lin An looked at Cheng Yitong in the ghost girl's hands, but before she could say anything, the sleeping Cheng Yitong suddenly woke up.

She had a magical weapon in her hand and stabbed at the ghost without hesitation. The ghost was caught off guard and let out a sharp cry. Cheng Yitong continued to move forward and started fighting with the ghost.

Feifei: "She is a person of great merit. If she hadn't done this, she should have lived a peaceful life. Why did she have to do it?"

Gu Yuan looked at the situation, frowned slightly, and asked, "Aren't you going to help?

Feifei stopped her and said, "This is someone else's karma. We can't interfere, and neither can you, Gu Yuan."

Gu Yuan asked, "What did you mean by what you said just now?"

Feifei sighed and explained, "The reason the magic weapon in her hand can hurt the female ghost is because it consumes her own merits as energy."

Gu Yuan paused after hearing this. Without Gu Feifei's stop, she stepped forward to help Cheng Yitong. The female ghost was afraid of someone and did not dare to kill Gu Yuan. After a few fights, she disappeared.

Gu Yuan quickly stepped forward to help Cheng Yitong up. Cheng Yitong calmed down, looked up at her, and said softly, "Thank you."

Gu Yuan was the first to ask, "Where did you get this thing in your hand?"

Cheng Yitong lowered his eyes to look at the magic weapon and said, "I asked for it."

"Then how do you know...about her?"

Cheng Yitong clenched the magic weapon tightly, "I just found out because she kidnapped my mother."

At this time, Feifei stepped forward and asked, "Can you give me what you have in your hand?"

Cheng Yitong immediately shook her head, "No."

"What do you want me to do in order to give it to you?"

Cheng Yitong said coldly: "Help me find my mother and stop that thing from bothering us."

Feifei turned to look at Lin An with a questioning look in her eyes. Lin An was silent for a moment and nodded.

After getting a response, Feifei turned to Cheng Yitong and said, "Okay."

Lin An turned and walked away. Gu Yuan looked at her back and waited quietly for about half an hour before he saw Lin An slowly coming back supporting a pale woman.

Cheng Yitong recognized her at once and immediately stepped forward, her voice choked with sobs: "Mom."

When the woman saw her daughter, her eyes were filled with heartache, and she asked softly, "Why are you here?"

Lin An interrupted their conversation and said, "You should move out of the Cheng family's old house as soon as possible and don't come back."

The woman nodded quickly and said gratefully, "Okay, okay, thank you very much."

Lin An looked at Cheng Yitong again and reminded her, "Your merits are almost exhausted, and that magic weapon is no longer useful."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yitong silently handed the magic weapon in her hand to Lin An and whispered, "Here you go, squad leader."

Lin An took the magic weapon and looked at everyone: "Let's go back."

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and cut a hole in the small world. After everyone walked out one by one, Cheng Yitong carefully supported her mother and slowly walked into the house.

Feifei, who was standing by, looked at their backs and sighed softly, "What a pity for her good fortune. She was originally a person with great blessings, but because of this, it was all wasted."

Gu Yuan whispered: "She won't feel sorry, this is for her mother."

"...Children are the mother's weak spot, but mothers have always been the child's weak spot."

Lin An paused when he heard her words, and looked at Gu Yuan a few more times with a complicated look in his eyes.

Gu Yuan seemed not to notice the strangeness and asked, "Can't you help them? She has been torturing them for hundreds of years."

Feifei laughed and said, "Gu Yuan, don't waste your kindness on these people, even if they are miserable."

Gu Yuan: "Can you help that woman?"

Feifei laughed again: "Don't be so kind to her. Believe it or not, if we weren't here to stop her, she wouldn't say these things to you and ask for sympathy. She would just take action directly."

Gu Yuan's brows were still furrowed as he asked, "Is there really no way to resolve this peacefully?"

Lin An suddenly said, "Yes, do good deeds, do a lot of good deeds. It can lead to other causes and effects and offset their sins."

Du Jiajia quickly added, "I've heard Cheng Yitong mention before that the Cheng family has been doing charity work for many years. If you really want to trace it back, it must be hundreds of years."

Lin An said coldly: "Yes, hundreds of years."

The sarcasm in that tone was too obvious. Gu Yuan paused for a moment, and after a moment's silence, he slowly asked, "They have done other things, right?"

"Don't worry about it. She'll leave on her own when she calms down."

Gu Yuan: "Sister An, I'm not being kind."

Lin An nodded: "I know, let's go back."

Seeing this, Du Jiajia hurriedly pulled Gu Yuan away first. However, Lin An did not move immediately. He stood there, looking up into the void, and said softly, "Let me apologize on her behalf. She has never seen anything like this before, so her words may have been inappropriate."

"But if you pester them for this, I will take action."

After a moment, a soft response came from the air: "Okay."

After they left, the courtyard in the other dimension suddenly became quiet. A figure appeared without warning, slowly glanced around, and finally his gaze fell on the woman. He asked, "She didn't do anything?"

The woman lowered her eyes and shook her head slowly, "No, she doesn't seem to care about me."

The man gently waved the fan in his hand. After a moment, he said, "Be more restrained. Don't arrest people anymore. Just play with those old guys."

The woman said in a deep voice, "Yes."

"Forget it, whatever you want. Forget about that girl and her mother."

"Thank you very much."
