He looked coldly at those people, as if they were ants, and said, "I will make you all pay the price."
This scene, this spectacle, is like a demon from hell demanding someone's life.
Screams erupted, and it was impossible to hear what anyone was saying.
After Yan Yi left, the eerie wind disappeared, leaving the place in a mess. By the time everyone thought to look for him, Jia Jue had already died.
"Jue'er, my dear Jue'er! How could you leave like this? It's all that fox spirit's fault. You wouldn't have turned out like this, and our family wouldn't have attracted a monster."
"No, I can't let you go like this. Yes, Daoist Master, I need to go find the Daoist Master."
The scene shifts to Yan Yi sacrificing everyone to revive Mu Xiaoyu, and incidentally completing what he had been working on all along.
If this sacrifice is successful, the little fish will come back to life and have a long lifespan like him, and then they can stay together forever.
On this day, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and everyone collapsed to the ground as if all the blood had been drained from their bodies, their eyes rolled back and foaming at the mouth.
They had heard the Jia family talk about monsters before, but they hadn't believed it. Now they did, but why were they being treated this way?
What did they do wrong?
He knew nothing, and died just like that, and died a miserable death. He became a wisp of resentment, which mixed with his blood and flowed into Mu Xiaoyu's body.
Before long, a tree grew where Mu Xiaoyu was lying. The tree kept growing until it became a towering tree, and in an instant, it was covered with flowers.
But no one appreciated any of this except Yan Yi, who looked at the blooming tree with joy in his eyes; he had succeeded.
But when he tried to get closer to the tree, he found that he couldn't get past it.
For the convenience of the ritual, he placed her in the center of the woods, while he performed the ritual in the village.
Now, he had a vague feeling of unease. He looked at the tree, and his eyes showed reluctance.
The video ends here, the screen in front goes black, and the people in the back come out.
"Alright, that's all. Is there anything else you want to ask?"
He doted on Shen Hua, as if he would tell her everything she wanted to ask.
Seeing this, it's safe to say that Shen Hua knew they could get out when he reappeared, so she wasn't interested in how things had developed that way at all.
There's nothing I can do; I'm just a Buddhist. I used the excuse of doing what's best for you to hide things from you and intentionally hurt you. I was just too complacent and couldn't accept the outcome.
Seeing that he could still answer, Chen Hua asked, "What's your name? Do we know each other? Why do you seem so familiar to me?"
It became so familiar that it became a bodily instinct, a kind of familiarity that is hard to come by, yet she had it, which made her think a lot.
When she asked this, the man showed no surprise whatsoever; instead, he remained unusually calm, as if he knew Shen Hua would ask such a question.
“We have no relation whatsoever. What makes you feel familiar is simply the law of time, so these problems are self-evident. You can leave now. I will see you out.”
"This is troublesome."
Since he didn't want to talk about it, Shen Hua didn't press him.
She didn't believe in the so-called law of time at all, and she didn't necessarily need to know the answer; she would find out sooner or later when the time was right.
After she finished speaking, she disappeared from the spot. A second before she disappeared, she saw that Xie Sichen had not left, and this person was walking towards Xie Sichen. The reason she was not worried was because she did not sense any malice from him.
When she opened her eyes again, she found that she was the only one awake. What had happened earlier had more or less affected her body, so it was normal that she hadn't woken up for a while.
Only Xie Sichen knew that it wasn't because of that, but because that person had kept him there, seemingly wanting to say something to him.
The petals continued to fall, but this time Chen Hua noticed something different.
This time, the blooming seemed to be just like the one she projected.
No, it should be said that she is dissipating.
She also understood why Mu Xiaoyu had insisted on ending her life. Perhaps immortality was very tempting to others, but to Mu Xiaoyu, every day of living was torture because she loved this village very much.
Despite the cruel treatment and torment she suffered at the hands of the Jia family, she still loved them.
"Thank you."
As Shen Hua looked over, she said this.
"Don't you plan to meet him? If you can clarify things, this might not have happened. Leaving with regrets is never a good thing."
The tree moved, and the image of Mu Xiaoyu appeared, walking over step by step.
Then, he temporarily explained to Chen Hua what it means to be powerless to control one's own destiny.
It turns out that not only could Yan Yi not come in, but she couldn't leave either.
It really is true that you feel happy and carefree for a moment, but then you regret it deeply.
“I don’t regret doing this. The only reason I have concerns is that I’m worried he will continue to harm people after I’m gone, and he will harm even more people. I’ve known all these years that he’s been harming people, and I’ve been trying to break through this barrier by harming people. He’s almost succeeded, but I’m powerless to stop him. I’ve not only been affected and become cruel and murderous, but I can’t even die.”
“You are different, I know that. Considering the part of your soul that I nurtured over the years, I hope you can help me guide him.”
Chen Hua: ...
She didn't quite understand what he was saying.
"Wait a minute, what do you mean..."
"Aaaaaah! Where am I? How did I get here? Who are you?"
"Help! Help! I don't want to die."
"Ah! So many mice, so many!"
"Little Shen's painting has become a spirit, it has become a spirit."
Chen Hua: ...
Before she could even ask a question, the people lying on the ground woke up, shouting and yelling, each with their own story, interrupting Shen Hua's thoughts.
Especially since she was next to Xia Xue, she hugged her tightly when she woke up.
"It's not a sentient being. If you keep holding it like that, something bad will happen."
After shouting for a while, the group seemed to lose their minds and became dazed again, heading outside.
This was Mu Xiaoyu's doing; she could tell. But it was fine this way, at least she didn't have to explain so much, so she just accepted it.
Shen Hua looked at Xie Sichen and found that he had already opened his eyes, but the light emanating from them was different this time.
"Are you alright?" Shen Hua asked with concern.
"It's alright, thank you."
After saying that, he got up and moved away, not even glancing at Chen Hua, as if he had become distant.
Because what happened next made her focus, she didn't notice this incident and therefore didn't see the fleeting pain in Xie Sichen's eyes and his clenched hands.
