Chapter 808 The Reason for Resentment
At that time, Captain Nie was unaware that his subordinates were plotting to abandon him, their senior, and join someone else's ranks.
He glanced at the water dragon soaring into the air, then at the small cauldron used to hold the water, and unconsciously recalled his brother's previous flattery.
At the time, he thought the other party was exaggerating, but now he realizes that it wasn't an exaggeration at all; his brother was clearly being modest.
Unfortunately, he was naive and inexperienced at the time, and didn't take people seriously.
Fortunately, some things happened later that made him dare not disrespect the two of them, otherwise his face would be smashed to pieces by now.
The only one who could be considered calm was Ye Wanxi. She held the anxious little Yingyu in her arms, staring intently at the water dragon that had been pulled out, lost in thought.
With the cheating weapon of the Sealed Heaven Domain, the water pump that Director Hong had predicted would take one or two hours to empty was completely drained in just ten minutes.
Over the course of ten minutes, everyone's expressions shifted from initial shock and bewilderment to helplessness and numbness, until the last drop of water was collected into the cauldron, at which point they finally snapped out of their daze.
"This...is that all? All that water..." The deputy factory director wanted to ask where the water went, but then thought the question was too stupid and silently shut his mouth.
As soon as the water was drained, the little Yingyu, who had been nestled in Ye Wanxi's arms, became excited again and tugged at Ye Wanxi, trying to run towards the water pump.
Ye Wanxi did not disappoint it. She picked up the little black dog and jumped up to the top of the water pump with it.
Factory Director Hong and his colleague were completely stunned by what they saw, but Captain Nie suddenly realized what was happening and quickly had a ladder set up. He followed Ye Wanxi up to the top of the water pump.
The large white egg, now devoid of water, was completely empty inside. Only a layer of black impurities could be vaguely seen at the bottom, including sand and grime, but there was no sign of the living creature Ye Wanxi and the others had mentioned before.
"There's nothing in here." Could Miss Ye and Mr. Feng have come to the wrong place?
When Captain Nie glanced over, this was the first thing that came to mind.
As soon as Captain Nie finished speaking, the little snail flapped its wings and flew to the water pump inlet, its round, bulging eyes once again filled with tears.
This time, it cried even more miserably than before. It was clear that it was very anxious, but no one knew what it was anxious about.
Ye Wanxi stared at the bottom of the water pump for a while, her brows furrowing slightly. As if sensing something, she took out a few talismans from her pocket and tossed them down.
The yellow talismans seemed to have eyes, darting around randomly until they finally stopped after touching something.
Squeak——
With a sound like tearing cloth, a thin crimson line suddenly appeared where the yellow talisman was pasted, and as the yellow talisman flew away, more and more red lines appeared.
In the end, it formed a dense, irregular net, and in the very center of this net, countless red threads tied a small cage, inside which was a small animal whose face was not clearly visible.
"Hiss..." The deputy factory director gasped. "What... what is going on? How could something like this be inside the water pumps at our water plant?"
Captain Nie didn't answer his question. Instead, he turned to Ye Wanxi and the other woman and asked, "Miss Ye, Mr. Feng, could the thing in that cage be...?"
Ye Wanxi nodded, and just as she was about to speak, she saw the thing in the cage move.
The little snail was thrilled to see this and flapped its wings to dive down, but Ye Wanxi caught it in one go.
"Huh?" The little snail turned its head to look at Ye Wanxi in confusion.
Ye Wanxi's gaze did not fall on it, but was fixed on the creature in the cage, her face ashen.
She never expected that she would find the leopard she had been longing for in this place.
Even more unexpectedly, this legendary high-level spirit pet, which supposedly grants forgetfulness of worries, turned out to be the source of the town's resentment.
That's right, the living creature trapped in the cage is the owner of the tuft of fur that Ye Wanxi had previously obtained from Dou Hong.
The cloven civet is shaped like a fox, but has a white tail and a mane.
The creature in the cage looked like a white fox, with pointed ears, a white mane and tail. It should have been running carefree through the forest, enjoying the warm embrace of its owner, and growing up happily.
Now, however, it has lost its original noble beauty and is in a sorry state that is shocking. The little white fox's limbs are twisted, as if they were broken by someone. Its body is covered with various wounds, and there is not a patch of good skin. Blood and pus have stained and dirtied its beautiful white fur. Its skin, which has been corroded by something, has lost the protection of its fur and exposed the flesh and blood underneath, which is shocking to look at.
The intense pain caused the little white fox's back to arch, and its eyes turned a bright red as it stared at all the humans present with hatred.
Wrapped in its body are strands of resentment born of hatred. It is this resentment that dissolves in the water and spreads to every corner of the town through the tap water system, invisibly affecting everyone in the town.
No one knows that those favored by the celestial being will receive its blessing, thus becoming the darling of heaven and earth, forgetting their troubles, and living a happy and fulfilling life.
Those who are resented or even cursed by Fei Fei will suffer great misfortune, experience a life full of hardships and negativity, and may ruin their lives if they make a slight mistake.
The creature in front of us had clearly suffered cruel abuse, which caused it to develop a strong resentment towards humans, resulting in resentment enveloping the entire town.
This surprised Ye Wanxi. The tuft of hair she got from Dou Hong was still in her hands. When she got the tuft of hair, she sensed that the owner of the tuft of hair was a little weak.
But the mane still carried a blessing, meaning that before the mane was plucked, the creature before him, though weak, harbored no resentment.
So, what happened after that that led to this change? Who broke its limbs, and how did it get its injuries?
Who deliberately placed it here, setting up this trap to make the entire town pay for this hatred?
Before Ye Wanxi could figure it out, the little yu in her arms struggled violently, tearing at Ye Wanxi's sleeve with its teeth, trying to drag her into the water pump.
Ye Wanxi held the little snail's wing and looked it in the eye: "Is it your friend? You want me to save it?"
The little snail's tears flowed even more fiercely; it didn't know how to explain it to Ye Wanxi.
After a moment of silence, it suddenly flicked its tail and kicked forward with all its might, its lips landing right on Ye Wanxi's forehead.
Ye Wanxi was completely taken aback by its actions and stood there dumbfounded as it kissed her.
In an instant, a white light emanated from between Ye Wanxi's eyebrows, enveloping everyone present in less than a second.
