Minglu smiled meaningfully, with a hint of irony that came from someone who had experienced the vicissitudes of life.
"I was once involved in a murder case."
"..." Nie Yuchen's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Mingluo with a solemn expression.
Mingluo said calmly, "An infant died in my hands."
This incident was probably the original owner's lifelong nightmare. Even now, as an outsider, she still feels her heart race when she mentions it.
Mingluo clearly sensed that this was absolutely not the emotion that a god-slayer who had killed countless people should have.
Therefore, it can only be the original owner's emotions.
Nie Yuchen took a deep breath and slowly said, "I'd like to hear the details. Would you mind telling me?"
He spoke gently, bending down to pour Mingluo a cup of clear tea; the coolness of the tea was very soothing.
He hoped Mingluo could feel better, and he sensed that this matter must be a knot in Mingluo's heart.
Does the fact that she can talk to him mean that he is actually trustworthy?
Mingluo picked up her tea and took a sip. She was slightly stunned for a moment. The God Realm was full of cultivators, and there were very few babies. If a baby was born, it was extremely precious.
If an infant were to die in her arms, even if she wasn't responsible, it would likely be enough to haunt her.
She paused for a moment, then continued, "When I was seventeen, a film crew came to our area to cast roles, and I was chosen."
The person chosen is the original owner.
The original owner of this body was beautiful and elegant, excelled in both character and academics, and was deeply loved by her teachers and classmates. She was immediately selected by the director of the production team.
Just when everyone thought the original owner would rise to prominence, the original owner disappeared and did not return all night.
When she was found, the original owner was in a toilet, holding a dead baby girl...
Rumors spread like wildfire that an unmarried girl gave birth to a stillborn baby in a toilet. Although the hospital and school later confirmed that the child was not hers, the rumors did not disappear. Gossip, slander and insults continued to haunt the original owner.
The original owner was greatly traumatized and dropped out of school. The film crew, fearing trouble, abandoned her.
The original owner of this body reluctantly took the exam and only got into her current school. She left her hometown and never went back.
After Minglu finished speaking, she let out a long breath. She was not the original owner of this body, and although she had taken over this body, she could not fully empathize with it.
She prefers to solve the problem directly.
There are many suspicious points in this matter. If we had continued to investigate at the time, we might have been able to find out the truth.
Unfortunately, due to the limited police resources in the small town, the investigation into the dead infant stalled after a while.
It's a real pity that the original owner took the blame for someone else at such a young age.
Otherwise, she could become famous just by looking at her face, even without acting skills.
Minglu subconsciously touched her face; her good looks were undeniable.
In the realm of gods, she could make the Demon Lord a devoted follower simply because of her face.
There's no reason why I'm doing so badly in this world; something must be wrong...
"..." Nie Yuchen looked at Mingluo with complicated emotions, finding it difficult to put into words.
He should express sympathy for Mingluo, but seeing the narcissism in her expression, it seems inappropriate to sympathize with her.
He cautiously remained silent. After the food was served, he slowly and methodically served Mingluo some food, encouraging her to eat more and turn her grief into appetite.
Mingluo came to her senses and sighed, "If Qian Xiulan were to attack me, this would probably be the only thing she could use against me."
She had countless talismans on her body, making it easy for her to deal with Qian Xiulan silently.
However, secretly dealing with someone is like wearing fine clothes in the dark—utterly uninteresting.
Qian Xiulan wanted to ruin her reputation at all times, so she naturally wanted to retaliate in kind.
She looked up at Nie Yuchen and said slowly, "I need your help with something. Is it convenient for you?"
