Chapter 38, Excavating the Corpse
Zhong Bingxuan's identity is incorrect, so she cannot dig up her father's body. Li Hanmo's identity has already been exposed, so he is not required to maintain his persona and has no worries at all.
While the others were attacking Wang Boyang, Li Hanmo quietly went to dig up the corpse under the tree.
“Unfilial daughter, since you are so heartless, don’t blame me for being unjust.”
Wang Boyang showed no surprise that his timid and cowardly daughter, Wang Qiuling, would attack him.
He clearly knew what kind of person Wang Qiuling was in private, and he didn't think that Zhong Bingxuan was seeking revenge for an uncle she had never met and her biological mother who had treated her badly. It was more likely that she was after his power.
Wang Boyang himself is a typical example of someone who will stop at nothing to satisfy his own selfish desires, and his daughter is naturally no better. That statement was just a grand gesture to others.
Wang Boyang ordered his servants to attack Zhong Bingxuan and her two companions. Zhong Bingxuan relied on her martial arts skills and the Nine Nether Ice Transparent Darts she had honed in private to attack the strange creatures around her.
The Nine Nether Ice Transparent Dart can take on two modes: solidified and transparent. To ensure her identity remained hidden, Zhong Bingxuan used the transparent mode to secretly attack the ghost servants who were besieging them.
When the Nine Nether Ice Transparent Darts strike the Ghost Servant, the Ghost Servant will let out a series of screams and disappear without a trace.
The system's personal task rewards also came along, indicating that the ghost servant could be killed directly by using the ghost artifact, and it was not one of the special ghosts.
The group of ghost servants around Zhong Bingxuan were inexplicably killed, leading many of them to mistakenly believe that Wang Yuelun, who was temporarily restrained and the former head of the Wang family, was helping Zhong Bingxuan. They dared not attack Zhong Bingxuan and instead attacked others.
With Zhong Linlin protected behind Fu Yuchen, the Ghost Servant could only launch a fierce attack on Yuchen first.
Although Fu Yucheng didn't have any magical artifacts and couldn't kill the monsters directly like Zhong Bingxuan, as an experienced player, he had many items to deal with them. He teleported to dodge the monster servants' attacks, then used an exorcism talisman to temporarily repel the monsters. With the help of Zhong Linlin's Starry Night healing ability, he still had the upper hand.
Of course, this situation wouldn't last long; Wang Boyang couldn't possibly watch Fu Yucheng and Zhong Bingxuan, the two people who wanted to kill him, get away with it.
Black mist swept towards the two of them, and Zhong Bingxuan and Fu Yuchen's mental values continued to drop, with a faint, corrosive pain spreading from their bodies to their brains.
Seeing that things were not going well, Fu Yucheng took out a protective shield and threw it on the ground. The transparent shield protected himself and Zhong Linlin, temporarily keeping the troublesome black mist out and giving them a moment to catch their breath.
On the other side, Zhong Bingxuan was far away from Fu Yuchen because she was dealing with both sides' monsters and was unable to get close to the protective shield.
She also had a protective shield, but due to the original owner's identity, she couldn't reveal it and therefore couldn't use it. She could only grit her teeth and endure it, waiting for Li Hanmo's matter to be resolved.
“Wang Qiuling, I’m giving you one more chance. Go to the big tree and take care of that man. I’ll forgive you for this disrespectful act of disobeying your father. You won’t have to suffer so much.”
Wang Boyang's face was gloomy, and his words to Zhong Bingxuan sounded like a favor, which made people feel disgusted.
He had clearly noticed Li Hanmo's little tricks, but because he was receiving the boss's power and couldn't move freely, and that area was the boss's territory, he couldn't use the black mist to attack Li Hanmo at all.
They could only withdraw their attack on Zhong Bingxuan, hoping to use their only daughter to eliminate that threat.
The black mist was withdrawn by Wang Boyang. Zhong Bingxuan grimaced in pain, showing no sign of listening to Wang Boyang's words and going to the big tree to deal with Li Hanmo.
"You unfilial daughter, didn't you hear me calling you?"
[Warning, warning! The original character's collapse value has increased. Currently at 40%, once the collapse value reaches 100%, the First Class mission will fail. As the First Class passenger, you will be forever trapped in this instance and unable to board the apocalyptic train.]
Zhong Bingxuan's behavior this time was too abnormal. Her previous boastful words could fool Wang Boyang, but now that she was about to die, she was unwilling to deal with a stranger, which was a bit out of character and aroused Wang Boyang's suspicion.
“My dear father, you killed your wife to silence her for power and status. I am not like you. She was my love. I would rather die than hurt her in the slightest. So give up and don’t try to seduce me into making the same grave mistake as you.”
Zhong Bingxuan was so deeply in love that she disregarded her own life in order to protect her lover.
Based on the storyline of this instance, Zhong Bingxuan felt that her explanation would not arouse any suspicion from any NPCs.
With Wang Jingzhu's love-struck mother around, it's no wonder that her own daughter is also love-struck and determined to save a poor boy's life.
Hearing Zhong Bingxuan's love-struck words, Wang Boyang's face darkened even more. He never expected that he would take advantage of Wang Jingzhu's infatuation with him to seize everything from the Wang family, only to have a poor boy benefit from it in the end.
“Wang Qiuling, you fool! That person is an evil spirit, not the one you love. Don’t do anything rash. Deal with that person for your father, and then we, father and daughter, will enjoy the wealth and glory of the Wang family together.”
"No, that's the man I love. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to save me last night. Instead, it was you, my own father, who said how much you love your daughter, who actually drugged me last night and tried to kill me. That's just too much."
Wang Boyang was too strong in combat, and he only refrained from using the black mist to attack Zhong Bingxuan because he needed Zhong Bingxuan's help.
Zhong Bingxuan naturally wouldn't let this opportunity to stall for time pass by, and she started to chat with Wang Boyang about how she had inexplicably fainted last night.
“My good daughter, those are the words of bad people. You can’t believe them. I am your own father. Even tigers don’t eat their cubs. I could never bear to harm you.”
"I won't listen, I won't listen. My lord would never deceive me."
Zhong Bingxuan had nothing more to say. Wang Boyang was a man who could coax the refined young lady Wang Jingzhu and the excellent head of the household Wang Yuelun into believing in his character, and then plot to kill the two of them and scheme against the entire Wang family. He was not bad at talking.
In this respect, Zhong Bingxuan was no match for her opponent, so she simply resorted to shamelessness and gambled on whether she could survive.
"Damn it, women are all useless idiots, good-for-nothing bastards who betray their own kind. Someone, go and stop that person from destroying the magic array."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Wang Qiuling to help, and that Li Hanmo had already destroyed most of the magic array and was just waiting to dig out his body to completely destroy the transfer magic and ruin his years of planning, Wang Boyang couldn't care less about his love-struck idiot daughter. He ordered the servants of the Wang family to kill Li Hanmo before he could dig out his body.
Once he successfully absorbs Wang Yuelun's powerful and unorthodox abilities, he will deal with Wang Qiuling, that unfilial daughter.
The servants of the Wang family were extremely unwilling. Even if they were alive but not quite human, they were still alive, and no one wanted to be sent to their death.
However, as a powerful supernatural being who already possessed most of the abilities of a boss, Wang Boyang exerted a strong pressure and control over lower-level supernatural beings. The servants of the Wang family had no ability to resist at all. Obeying Wang Boyang's orders, they launched suicidal attacks one after another towards Li Hanmo.
