Chapter Sixty: Biting Each Other
Seeing this, Jingwu did not stop him, letting the boy, consumed by resentment and losing his mind, choke Zhou Yu by the neck.
Only when the woman's face turned crimson and she was panting heavily did she leap forward and grab Ren Bei to the side.
"Don't let her ruin your chances of being reborn in the next life."
Jingwu injected a golden light into his body, dispelling the resentment in his heart.
Ren Bei instantly felt a gentle breeze brush past his heart, suppressing the resentment in his heart.
He calmed down, looked at his stepmother lying on the ground panting heavily, closed his eyes, and ultimately did not make a move.
Ren Cheng, who was standing to the side, was stunned by the scene. After he came to his senses, he immediately begged for mercy.
“Bei’er, your father has been busy working to earn money for the family and doesn’t know anything about these things. It’s all her fault. She said that as long as your birth date is given away, she can earn five taels of silver. She didn’t say that it would take your life! If your father had known it would affect you, I would never have agreed to let her do it!”
Before Jingwu and Renbei could even speak, Zhou Yu couldn't sit still any longer.
She jumped up and walked to his side. She reached out to hit him, panting and cursing.
"You heartless bastard, you're putting all the blame on me. You were the one who heard from the steward that you could earn five taels of silver, and you couldn't wait to send me to get his fingernails and hair!"
"Shut up! I didn't say you agreed to it." Ren Cheng immediately interrupted her, shouting guiltily, "Bei'er, believe your father, I really didn't say that. The most poisonous heart is a woman's, she gave away your birthday without my knowledge, I really didn't know."
He pretended to be pitiful, with snot and tears streaming down his face, after all, Ren Bei's appearance just now was too frightening.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu naturally refused to take the blame and rolled up her sleeves, starting a fight with him.
Ren Cheng, being a tall and strong man, slapped her across the face and pushed her to the ground, showing no regard for the fact that she was his wife.
Ren Bei felt a wave of irony when he saw his father's cold-blooded appearance.
He turned to look at the master, his eyes darkening slightly: "You said my destiny has been taken away. If you help me get my destiny back, can I come back to life?"
Jingwu paused upon hearing this, then shook his head.
Ren Bei's heart skipped a beat when he saw her actions, but he still asked, "Is the person who stole my destiny a good person?"
Jingwu pondered the meaning of the divination for a moment, then shook his head.
The wealthy businessman's son was about thirteen or fourteen years old, but he was a troublemaker who bullied men and women and was hardly a good person.
"I don't want that person to possess my destiny. Can you help me take it back?" Ren Bei looked at the person in front of him with clear, bright eyes.
Jingwu nodded: "Don't worry, even if you don't tell me, I will break this spell."
After all, the life-swapping technique is an evil art that violates the order of Yin and Yang.
Without further hesitation, Jingwu immediately formed hand seals and chanted incantations to quickly break the spell.
At that time, in a large mansion, on a mahogany carved bed, a fat-headed, big-eared boy suddenly leaned over the bed and spat out a mouthful of blood, scaring the maidservant serving him half to death.
Jingwu didn't stop; he immediately followed the trace of aura left behind by the mastermind behind the life-swapping technique.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The person had already realized that his spell had been broken and that he was suffering a backlash, so he hurriedly fled.
After Jingwu finished doing all this, he looked at the boy again: "I have broken the life-swapping spell, you..."
Ren Bei looked at the person in front of him with bright eyes. Her spellcasting was really amazing. He wondered if he could stay by the master's side.
"I want to stay by your side, is that okay?"
Jingwu glanced at him in surprise and shook his head: "I don't accept male ghosts around me."
Ren Bei lowered his head regretfully upon hearing this.
"You died unjustly in this life, and your fate was changed. When you are reincarnated, the underworld will definitely compensate you and let you be reborn into a good family." Jingwu stroked his head and said softly, "You will definitely enjoy happiness in your next life. Don't you really want to go and see?"
Ren Bei lowered his head upon hearing this, thought for a moment, then looked up at her and asked, "Will I ever see you again?"
We will meet again if fate allows.
"Alright then." Ren Bei lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, no longer paying attention to his father and stepmother who were wrestling. "Then Master, please take me away."
Jingwu nodded, then immediately took the Qiankun bag and put him inside.
She looked at the couple wrestling and thoughtfully set up a barrier for them so as not to disturb the rest of other people in the yard.
After Jingwu finished doing these things, he was about to leave when he turned around and met the faces of Aunt Chen and her family peering through the window.
She thought for a moment, then walked to the door and said, "Aunt Chen, the matter has been resolved. You can go to sleep now."
The door was opened instantly, and Aunt Chen came out, pointing to Ren Cheng and his wife who were still fighting.
"Are we just going to let them go like this? Can't we report them to the authorities?"
“The government doesn’t care about these things, and besides, there’s no evidence.” Jingwu looked at the woman’s somewhat unwilling expression and then said with a smile, “What goes around comes around. They were involved in the life-swapping technique, so Heaven won’t let them off the hook.”
Upon hearing this, Aunt Chen's expression softened somewhat. She then slipped a tael of silver into her hand.
"Thank you so much, little Awu. Here's a small reward, please don't mind it."
Jingwu nodded, accepted the gift without hesitation, and said with a smile, "Then I'll be going now."
After saying that, he didn't say anything more, and left with a teleportation spell.
Jingwu went home and took a nap. The next afternoon, she cast a divination and found out where Ren Bei's body was.
So she took the shovel and walked in that direction. When she got there, she saw Granny Chen and two men digging a pit.
Jingwu stared at their figures, slightly taken aback. The next second, he saw a small corpse wrapped in a tattered straw mat to the side.
“Little Awu, you’re here too?” Aunt Chen looked at the person in front of her and explained, “I didn’t sleep a wink last night. The more I thought about it, the more I felt sorry for this child. He’s been abused for so long, and he doesn’t even have a place to rest in peace after he’s died. So I called my husband and son to come and dig a hole so that he can be laid to rest in peace.”
Jingwu watched the two men digging the hole, drenched in sweat, and smiled, saying, "I'll join them too."
She took a shovel and went forward to start digging. Before long, a large pit appeared in the ground.
The group put the body, wrapped in a straw mat, into the pit and then covered it with soil.
Aunt Chen squatted to the side, burning paper money while muttering something.
After a long while, the group finally finished.
Jingwu stood to the side, looking at the small grave, let out a long sigh, and dusted himself off.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard Aunt Chen stand up after burning the paper money, and seeing that it was getting late, say goodbye to her.
After everyone left, Jingwu stayed there for a while longer. Only after dark did he take out the Qiankun Bag and release Ren Bei's soul.
